Chapter 100 Talent
As a researcher, Skinner certainly understands what Wang Xuexin said.
He thought about it for a while and then nodded in agreement: "It's a very creative idea, Wang! But...how are you going to interfere with it? I mean, it flies in the air and is very fast, and we can't do anything!"
Wang Xuexin gave an unreliable idea: "This is what I think. We can set up a circle of small holes around the rocket, and place a small amount of propellant in the small holes. When the gyroscope senses that the missile body is leaning to the left, the left
The small hole will automatically ignite and push it back to its original track, and vice versa, the same operation will be performed on the right side..."
Before he finished speaking, Skinner screamed. He hugged Wang Xuexin excitedly and said, "You are such a genius, Wang! This is indeed a feasible solution, God! Why didn't I think of this method?
Great! We finally found our way!”
Skinner was dancing with excitement. It took a while before he remembered something and asked Wang Xuexin: "So, Wang! When will we start this project?"
"You can start now!" Wang Xuexin spread his hands and replied: "I will arrange a place. However, you know the conditions of the Eighth Route Army, our laboratory may be very crude!"
"It doesn't matter, Wang!" Skinner laughed loudly: "You know? I think the most important thing in the laboratory is not the instruments or equipment, but the creativity! And you have no shortage of creativity. This is our greatest wealth!"
With that said, Skinner happily conveyed the good news to his subordinates.
Looking at Skinner's back, Wang Xuexin felt a little guilty.
Because this is destined to be an unsuccessful project.
There is indeed such an operation of using propellant to control the trajectory. The early anti-tank missiles were controlled in this way, but...
Relying on the gyroscope to control it yourself is simply a fantasy.
Anti-tank missiles have a wire connected to the missile body, and the other end is connected to the shooter's controller, allowing human intervention like playing a game.
This is the first generation of anti-tank missiles. The second generation is more advanced. You only need to use the sight to keep aiming at the target.
What is more advanced is that you can completely get rid of the wires and use laser guidance or infrared guidance.
The so-called "increasing the accuracy of rockets" idea that Wang Xuexin gave to Skinner sounds feasible on the surface... This is also where Wang Xuexin is "cunning". What he says must be 70% true and 30% false, so as to convince the other party.
believe.
What Wang Xuexin said has been done and applied in the military in modern times.
The problem is...
The gyroscope will not aim at the target. It can only sense the deflection of the projectile after it is launched. It does not know where the target is.
If you add wires and use manual interference, there will be no problem. You can indeed improve the accuracy and achieve the result of hitting the target at a long distance.
But if there are no wires...
The result is that the gyroscope may deflect the projectile, and the amount of control cannot be automatically controlled by it. It requires countless trials and corrections to achieve "unsatisfactory" results.
(The v1 missile has gone through countless tests, but v1 is not controlled by propellant, but adjusts the wings like flying an airplane)
This is Wang Xuexin's advantage, some things are just a little bit worse.
For example, what Wang Xuexin told Skinner was just adding wires for manual interference.
But if Skinny didn't know this, even if he conducted countless experiments and spent several years on it, he probably wouldn't be able to figure out the reason.
What's more, Skinny is still studying rockets for batch launch, which is related to cost issues...
So Skinner was right about at least one thing, and that is ideas, and creativity does matter.
What needs to be added is that the ideas and creativity must be correct, otherwise it will just be useless work.
After deceiving the expert Skinner, Wang Xuexin breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Wang Xuexin himself also needs to prepare a research and development team.
Others can say that Wang Xuexin can just report to the headquarters... Although the conditions of the Eighth Route Army are relatively difficult and the overall cultural level is not high, looking at the whole of China, there are still many people who study abroad and learn skills.
The Eighth Route Army's strength is winning the hearts and minds of the people, so whatever talents they need can always be found through hard work.
This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Preparations should be made before Yingjiang delivers the equipment and parts, otherwise a major event may be missed.
Thinking of this, Wang Xuexin turned around and sat at his desk, took out a pen and paper and wrote a report to the headquarters.
The report was sent to the headquarters the next day.
Such a fast speed is due to the complete communication team at Wanxian Airport... In order to better command Wanxian Airport, the headquarters not only has radio stations and telephones, but also arranged a communication platoon composed of three shoulder bags to facilitate when needed.
Can send documents.
Wang Xuexin's report was urgently delivered to the headquarters on a shoulder bag.
The chief of staff picked up the report and frowned when he read it: "Why is this small northeastern city, who is responsible for managing the airport, still thinking about developing rockets and saying it is to improve the accuracy? Hasn't he always advocated rockets?
Isn’t it just that you don’t care about accuracy?”
It turned out that Wang Xuexin didn't know how to explain missiles to the headquarters... This thing didn't exist in this era, so his report to the headquarters also talked about improving the accuracy of rockets.
The chief took the report, looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's a great idea. Now I want to build a research and development team. I'm ambitious!"
"Chief!" the chief of staff questioned: "Xiao Dongbei said that this is something that even Yingjiang doesn't have, and we have to keep Yingjiang a secret! But this..."
The chief of staff pointed to the report with an incredulous expression and said, "If we can't even develop eagle sauce, how can we develop it?"
The leader thought for a while and then said: "I think we can try it! If it were before, I wouldn't believe it! But now... look at that thick gasoline, isn't it that there is no eagle sauce but we made it?"
With Xiao Dongbei, we might actually be able to do it!"
"But we need a lot of things here!" said the Chief of Staff: "We need talents and funds. Where are we going to find these talents now? Besides, he also explained that we cannot produce results in a short time. We are now in
Isn’t it a war? This is imminent. What we need is to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. We cannot produce results in a short period of time. No one will know what will happen by then!"
"Hey!" The chief's attitude is different from that of the chief of staff in this regard: "If you don't think long-term, you will have immediate worries! If you don't make long-term plans, how can you achieve better results? If you don't do research and development in a down-to-earth manner now,
, we may be the ones who regret it then!”
