In Western literature and movies, there have always been various people who sold themselves to the devil. It is naturally a great temptation for people to be so willing to do so.
Zhou Qingfeng only gave him a strengthening drug that could improve his energy and physical strength, and he immediately made the highly respected Professor Johnson obey him because the effect of this drug was so attractive.
Professor Johnson injected the drug with great excitement, and then rested in the Corps Commander's office for several hours to observe the aftereffects.
I don't know if it was a psychological effect or if the medicine had a miraculous effect. After taking a nap, the professor felt that his body was filled with incredible vitality, and then he happily took Zhou Qingfeng's appointment to select his subordinates.
Professor Johnson was originally coerced from Florida by Zhou Qingfeng, and he was very familiar with the personnel relations of the Kennedy Space Center. When he walked out of the Capitol Building in Havana, he was already 70% or 80% sure of the work to be completed next.
First of all, we need to recruit a group of people, mainly students, friends, and colleagues of Professor Johnson. The initial scale of the Rocket Force will not be very large, just a dozen or so backbone personnel. Then these ten or so backbones will be used to recruit 70 or 80 people.
The middle level, the middle level, and then the bottom level with five to six hundred people.
OK, a team on paper is completed.
"Being familiar with this 'Dongfeng-3' missile is only the first step. Next, we have to improve it. Fortunately, this is an early first-generation ballistic missile, and the technical difficulty is not complicated." Professor Johnson at the military camp near the Capitol.
He convened a meeting with his key members.
When the professor took out the enhanced medicine given by Zhou Qingfeng and demonstrated its use in person, the backbone he recruited suddenly burst out with a strong enthusiasm for work - they only need to do their best work to obtain the most magical medicine in the world
, is there anything better than this?
One of the professor's students couldn't wait to start working. He took the initiative to ask: "The design of this missile is very simple. What aspects should we improve?"
When the design of the Dongfeng-3 was finalized in the 1960s, its technical level was still very simple. At that time, the technical capabilities of the Rabbit were really not very good, which resulted in many shortcomings of this missile.
"We need to improve the circular error accuracy of this missile by an order of magnitude." The professor said, "This is the first task we must complete."
If a missile is not accurate, it will be useless no matter how powerful it is. When the Dongfeng-5 was tested, it was off by hundreds or thousands of kilometers several times. It was a big joke!
However, the accuracy of the 'Dongfeng-3' is very poor, with a circular error accuracy of more than 1,300 meters. In other words, if a circle with a radius of more than one kilometer is drawn at the predetermined impact point, there is a half chance that the warhead will fall within this circle.
'Dongfeng-3' could originally carry a one-million-ton hydrogen bomb, but the larger error was barely tolerable. But what Zhou Qingfeng got was a version that could only carry a two-ton ordinary high-explosive warhead - spending 500 million soft
Just to throw two tons of explosives thousands of kilometers away?
And the error of this throw is more than one kilometer?
Only a lunatic would do this kind of loss-making business!
I might as well fly an F-35 and drop bombs.
'Dongfeng-3' uses an inertial gyro integrator for guidance. Professor Johnson sneered at this stuff. Zhou Qingfeng got a lot of good things while searching Florida, and the professor decided to use a 'three-axis liquid-floating inertial gyro plus laser guidance'.
Enhanced high-performance space computer'.
The probability of circular error can be immediately reduced to about 100 meters, which is much more powerful.
"It's not difficult to change the guidance head and control system." The colleagues who were recruited were also very enthusiastic. Several people observed that the face of the professor in his seventies was rosy and shiny, the wrinkles on his skin were much smoother, and his age spots were faded.
This is obviously a sign of a significant improvement in health status.
"Improving accuracy is the first step, and the second step is to replace conventional warheads with nuclear warheads." Professor Johnson's second step of improvement made the backbone people who gathered around him somewhat silent.
It is impossible to spend 500 million just to drop an ordinary explosive. No matter how powerful a two-ton warhead is, it is only two tons. It is different when replacing a nuclear warhead.
'Dongfeng-3' can originally carry three submissive warheads. Zhou Qingfeng cannot get nuclear warheads in the real world, but he has many nuclear warheads to use in the chaotic wasteland - the American B61 nuclear warhead, each weighing only three
Four hundred kilograms, the equivalent is adjustable, the maximum is more than 100,000 tons T*N*T.
But the wasteland was caused by nuclear bombs washing the land. To be honest, no one likes nuclear weapons now. But if my boss wants to install a nuclear warhead, no one can stop him.
"I think if we change the nuclear warhead, a 100,000-ton warhead in one missile is enough. The weight saved can be used to increase fuel and increase the range." One of the professor's students suggested, "After all, our nuclear warhead
It is rarer and more valuable than this missile."
That's right. There is still room for missiles, and the nuclear warheads really need to be one less. Professor Johnson also didn't want to see nuclear bombs flying all over the sky again, so he nodded and agreed to this approach, "Okay, we will just make a single warhead. There are no more redundant warheads."
payloads can be used to increase range."
After saying this, the professor and others silently made calculations in their hearts. Soon everyone could roughly estimate the effect of the extended range - reaching four thousand kilometers, covering most of the continental United States except Alaska, and even Canada.
part.
This deterrent effect is just now!
Originally it could only scare the Enclave, but now even the Brotherhood of Steel must be careful.
Professor Johnson gathered together elites from the U.S. aerospace industry, most of whom had participated in the development and launch of U.S. rockets and missiles. After they crudely planned out the improvement plan for the Dongfeng-3, everyone felt anxious.
The meaning of wonder.
In a world where no one else has ballistic missiles or nuclear bombs, how terrible is it that a guy who can wield a nuclear stick suddenly appears?
"How long will it take to complete the entire improvement plan?" the professor asked a colleague who was good at project management.
"It will take about one and a half to two months. We need to conduct training for everyone involved in the project in advance. For example, the fuel used in this missile is 'dimethylhydrazine', which is highly toxic and we have stopped using it a long time ago. No.
It’s easy to have problems with training,” said a missile expert.
Liquid fuel missiles are so troublesome, they need to be refilled before launch. And you have to be extremely careful.
The filling process of liquid fuel is extremely dangerous. If something goes wrong, a large explosion will poison a large number of people. In the 1960s, the Soviet Union once had a big explosion when refueling an intercontinental missile, killing their strategic rocket force in one fell swoop.
Commander and one hundred and sixty rocket experts.
The Aurora Legion cannot afford such losses.
"Okay, let's start taking action." Professor Johnson said with emotion: "A new empire will be under our protection."
Looking at the various information on the 'Dongfeng-3' on the table, everyone felt excited and heavy at the same time. But before they could express their feelings, a shrill air defense siren suddenly sounded.
