Chapter 762 Submarine-Launched Cruise Missile
As the name suggests, underwater missiles refer to missiles that can be launched underwater. They are an important component of modern naval weapon systems. According to their combat uses, they can be divided into three categories: submarine-launched missiles, submarine-launched cruise missiles and anti-submarine missiles.
Submarine-launched missiles are generally carried by submarines. They are characterized by concealment, strong survivability, and great destructive power. They can be hidden in the sea in peacetime and launch unexpected attacks in wartime, and can strike the enemy's military and political targets.
It can be said that submarine-launched missiles are like assassins, with advantages such as great flexibility and stealth, and being difficult to defend against.
A submarine-launched cruise missile refers to a conventional warhead or nuclear bomb that can be launched from a submarine's torpedo tube or vertical launch system. It is generally used to attack land targets and surface ships. It has a long range and high strike accuracy and can launch attacks outside the enemy's air defense firepower circle.
If the submarine-launched missile is like an assassin, then the submarine-launched cruise missile is like an archer, with the advantages of long range, high accuracy and strong lethality.
As for anti-submarine missiles, they refer to rocket-assisted torpedoes, which combine the advantages of torpedoes and missiles. They are composed of rocket vehicles and self-guided torpedoes. As long as they are launched into the enemy's submarine area, they will automatically search and attack the enemy's submarine, causing a devastating blow.
To put it bluntly, it is like a weapon that uses automatic search function to lock onto the target by itself, thereby forming a devastating blow. Of course, in this era, both anti-submarine missiles and submarine-launched cruise missiles have developed to a certain stage.
As for anti-submarine missiles, for each country now it is just a concept and has not yet formed specific combat capabilities.
The commission that Professor Shangguan accepted was the research on submarine-launched cruise missiles. This was mainly due to the development of the Chinese Navy in recent years. Although it has a certain shipbuilding capability, it can only produce some smaller frigates and submarines.
As for large warships, although the domestic industrial level has been continuously improving in recent years, it is not a matter of one day or one night to build large warships. First of all, many supporting industries are not perfect, such as steel, electronic components and instruments, etc.
There is also a lack of design and technical capabilities for large ships, and there are certain deficiencies in craftsmanship.
Although some foundations have been laid, it is still insufficient to manufacture large warships in a short period of time. This is why the institute was asked to develop submarine-launched cruise missiles.
Faced with such a vast sea area, if we want to avoid being bullied by foreign countries, we can only work hard on missiles.
Especially now that our country has fallen behind the Bald Eagle and Big Brother by many generations in submarine-launched missiles and submarine-launched cruise missiles, we naturally need to work harder.
However, if one wants to develop a reliable and powerful submarine-launched cruise missile, there are too many things to consider. Not to mention the size, interface, and adaptation of the launch process, the sea-skimming flight technology alone is a major challenge.
This was exactly the difficult problem that Professor Shangguan had just calculated, which was why Zhou Tian praised Professor Shangguan so much.
You know, although my country has accumulated a certain amount of missile technology, there is still a blank in the research on underwater missiles. In this case, Professor Shangguan was able to first consider the impact of water flow, pressure, etc. on missiles, which is already a great progress.
"So what Professor Shangguan just calculated was the sea-skimming technology?"
Zhou Tian couldn't help but ask.
"Dean, you also know the sea-skimming technique?"
Hearing Zhou Tian's words, Professor Shangguan was obviously happy, and couldn't help but feel that great minds think alike.
"Hahaha, I have heard of this. After all, the Red Star Research Institute once did research on military equipment, so I know a little about sea-skimming technology!"
When Zhou Tian heard Professor Shangguan's question, he felt ashamed, but he still answered.
"That's great, Dean. What do you think of the sea-skimming technology of underwater missiles?"
Since the dean understood the sea-skimming technology, Professor Shangguan stopped calculating and asked his own questions. Although he knew a little about the sea-skimming technology, to be honest, he didn't know much. Now that the dean understood it, he naturally hoped to get the dean's guidance.
"this!"
When Zhou Tian saw Professor Shangguan's actions, he undoubtedly felt a little regretful in his heart. He regretted having spoken too much just now, but since Professor Shangguan asked, he had to answer, especially when he saw that everyone in Group 2 looked eager to learn. Compared with his own retreat, he was speechless for a moment.
"Forget it, just think of it as teaching some more students!"
Zhou Tian thought about it and decided to explain to everyone some designs and formulas about sea-skimming technology in his mind in an easy-to-understand manner.
As he explained, everyone was a little confused at first, but after all, they were all smart people, and soon everyone listened carefully, showing a hint of enlightenment from time to time.
Their foundation is not bad, especially in missile research. Everyone is an elite, so they understand it quickly.
It was not until Zhou Tian became a little thirsty that everyone came back to their senses from his lecture.
For a moment, everyone was excited and used the knowledge that the dean had just taught to design and calculate.
"Boom boom boom!"
Just as Zhou Tian took a sip of water and was about to take a look around to see how they absorbed the energy, there was a knock on the door, interrupting his plan. He couldn't help but step forward to open the door, only to see Chang Weijun and Professor Liu standing outside.
"Mr. Chang, Professor Liu, why are you here?"
When he saw these two people, a trace of doubt flashed across Zhou Tian's face, but then he thought of something and couldn't help but look down at his watch. He saw that the time displayed on the watch was already seven o'clock in the evening.
He couldn't help but slap his forehead and said, "Look at me, I actually forgot the time. Let's go, let's go now!"
Zhou Tian immediately put down the cup of water and walked outside with Chang Weijun.
"Professor Liu, we're off work first!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Tian and the other person had disappeared around the corner.
"How is it, Lao Chang, how are Professor Liu and the others absorbing it?"
As they walked, Zhou Tian asked Chang Weijun.
"It's pretty good. I have to say that although Professor Liu and his colleagues don't have any foundation in the field of aerospace, they are not slow in accepting new knowledge. They are even faster than I expected!"
Chang Weijun thought about what he had just taught Professor Liu and the others, and couldn't help but praise them.
"Nonsense, after all, they are professors and technicians, they have a lot of knowledge reserves, and they are naturally much faster than ordinary people. But according to your estimation, will these people have a certain foundation in the field of aviation in half a year?"
"That's hard to say, but Dean, with your ability, you can definitely lead them to design a rocket satellite. Why do you have to do this?"
Chang Weijun asked in confusion. He was very clear about the ability of the dean. Although he had made considerable achievements in the field of aviation over the years, he was very clear that his ability was not enough in front of the dean!
