It usually took thousands of hours or even longer for a missile to be tested in a wind tunnel.
The high-speed camera in the wind tunnel could capture all aspects of the flight trajectory of high-speed flying objects.
Many large-scale missiles had to undergo wind tunnel experiments from the time they were finalized to the time they were retired.
In the process of wind tunnel experiments, the product would be improved, and some improved models would be born.
Of course, the requirements for rockets were not as high as those for strategic missiles and space rockets.
There was no need for a series of experimental tests from low speed to medium speed to high speed.
Therefore, the rocket was tested at high speed from the beginning.
"How much?"
Chief Engineer Zhang asked after the high-speed experiment had been going on for a while.
" Initial speed: 163 meters per second."
"My normal flying speed has exceeded the speed of sound.”
"After flying for a certain distance, as the fuel is consumed, the weight is reduced, and under the effect of inertia, a higher speed can be obtained.”
" According to the experimental results, the effective range of our rocket may reach 80 kilometers or even higher…"
Hearing these numbers, everyone present was so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
With a range of 80 kilometers, their flying speed broke through the speed of sound.
They would reach the designated target area in two to three minutes.
Are you sure this is a cannonball and not a missile?
Lu Xuan was quite satisfied with the rocket's data.
Although it couldn't be compared to the later rocket launchers that had a range of 300 kilometers and a margin of error of 1700 kilometers.
But what era was this? It was already very terrifying to have such a range and flying speed.
Such a rocket launcher was not only good for attacking ground targets, but it was also good for air defense.
Especially when used to defend against helicopters, it was not a problem at all.
In the future, with Jia Yiming's participation, all kinds of high-tech materials continued to appear.
The research and improvement of rocket engines would only lead to faster development.
At that time, the rocket launcher's range would only be further and its speed would be higher.
"Continue the wind tunnel experiment of the rocket and record the data completely.”
Chief Engineer Zhang instructed and turned to leave the wind tunnel laboratory. The group of experts followed.
They knew that the wind tunnel experiment only proved that the rocket's shape and engine design were up to standard.
With the range increased by two-thirds, it would be a little unsatisfying if the rockets were still as powerful as before.
Arriving at the meeting room, Chief Engineer Zhang asked Lu Xuan kindly,""By the way, Comrade Little Lu, do you know of any other way to increase the power of the combat department other than installing more explosives?”
The wind tunnel test of the rocket was enough to show how talented Lu Xuan was in rocket design.
That was why Chief Engineer Zhang first sought Lu Xuan's opinion on how to improve the firepower of the rocket launcher.
Lu Xuan chuckled." If we want to maximize its power, we'll naturally install a nuclear warhead on it.”
"Bullsh * t, how can you casually make mushroom bombs?”Yang Changgen immediately became anxious.
How could a rocket with a nuclear warhead be used on the battlefield?
Mao Xiong had developed a lot of tactical nuclear missiles.
Yingchan was also developing.
Rabbit did not give up.
But who would dare to use it on the battlefield?
Weapons that could not be used on the battlefield were meaningless.
Of course, Lu Xuan was just joking to liven up the atmosphere.
In fact, he already had a plan to increase the power of the rockets.
That was the fuel-air explosives developed by various countries after entering the 21st century.
The fuel-air explosives were known as the most powerful conventional weapon below the mushroom bomb.
This thing was simple to produce and cheap to make. It was known as the " poor man's nuclear bomb."
He just didn't know how effective it would be when combined with a rocket launcher.
Wasn't Monkey clamoring that they were the third strongest military power in the world?
Didn't they invade the rabbit with the support of the furry bear?
Then he would use this thing to teach them a lesson.
Let's see if they still dare to be so arrogant.
Did he dare to snatch the island from Rabbit?
"I heard that Mao Xiong and Ying Chan are researching a type of air bomb. The combat unit is loaded with concentrated fuel.”
"At the point of impact, the fuel will be instantly released under high pressure and explode at high temperatures.”
"Within a certain range, it will not only produce an ultra-high pressure that will form a shock wave in the surroundings.”
"Moreover, the fragments of the explosion are more powerful than ordinary explosives…"
Lu Xuan gave a brief introduction of the fuel-air bomb.
"What is an air bomb?"
"This thing is more powerful than ordinary explosives?”
Chief Engineer Zhang did not expect Lu Xuan to have such a constructive suggestion.
"When this bomb explodes, it will produce an instant high temperature of 2,000 degrees.”
"The intense combustion can almost quickly suck out the oxygen in the surrounding air.”
"In the range of the explosion, even if you are not burned to death or blown to death, you will die from lack of oxygen.”
Lu Xuan continued to explain. The power of this thing was only less than that of a mushroom bomb, and it could be used on the battlefield.
The monkey war that was about to break out was the rabbit's last foreign war, and it was also the rabbit's chance to show its fangs.
Lu Xuan wanted to show off the fangs of a rabbit in this battle and shock the eyes of all countries in the world.
The million strong army that intimidated the hairy bears at the northern border made Ying-chan wary of rabbits.
Moreover, such a weapon would definitely be favored by the military.
That way, Base 618 would be able to get more funds.
Lu Xuan could also develop weapons that would burn even more money.
"Isn't this bomb too cruel?”
Upon hearing Lu Xuan's introduction, some of the old experts shuddered when they imagined the scene.
Such a powerful weapon would definitely shock the entire world.
However, it was also easy to be criticized internationally. Those who participated in this project would also be scolded.
This thing was too cruel, too terrifying.
"War itself is a cruel thing.”
"Once a war breaks out, both sides will win by hook or by crook.”
"Back then, when Little Tian invaded us, he used a virus weapon. Isn't this cruel?”
"The power of the mushroom bomb is strong enough, right? It will make people die even crueler. Even if they don't die, it will be even crueler.”
"Moreover, our weapons are conventional weapons. They can instantly resolve the enemy's pain.”
Lu Xuan scoffed at the experts 'words.
"If the war fails, the country will be destroyed."
"Only the victor is qualified to judge whether the weapon is cruel or not.”
Wang Mingyi looked up at the experts present and said word by word.
There were many old experts here who had experienced war in the past.
The countless crimes he committed in the country back then were simply too numerous to record.
Now, you say that the weapon you developed is too cruel. Isn't that ridiculous?
"Do you know how to do this?”Chief Engineer Zhang asked Lu Xuan.
It was Base 618's responsibility to develop new weapons.
As for how to use it, it was not up to them to decide.
"During the Vietnam War, Ying-chan used this bomb.”
"But their technology is obviously not mature enough, and their power is not strong enough.”
"And the bomb I want to develop is as powerful as a small mushroom bomb.”
"Our principle is to make our enemies fear us from the bottom of their hearts.”
Lu Xuan stood up and said with a twisted face after sweeping a glance at everyone present.
