Chapter 37 The big killer that once deceived people
"Is this a twin-mounted anti-aircraft missile launcher?" Qin Tao pointed to the missile launcher and said: "This installation method has long been outdated. The missile is directly exposed to the outside and is easily affected by the humid environment at sea. , given our technical level, the probability of a dud is quite high."
This is not to belittle one's own side, it is the fact. There are a large number of electronic components inside the missile. At sea, affected by water vapor and salt, it is easy to cause the components to fail and the missile to become a dumb bomb.
Hearing what Qin Tao said, Zhang Zhen nodded: "Yes, this is indeed a big problem. If our electronic technology was high enough, this missile would not have been tested for so many years..."
In fact, even though all the finalization projects were completed last year and ten missiles were test-fired continuously and achieved a good hit rate, there is still a question mark as to how effective it will be in actual combat.
In particular, the moisture-proof issue mentioned by Qin Tao is very critical.
If it was in the 1960s, when the Hongqi 61 was first developed, it was a high-level secret of the Navy and could not be mentioned casually. However, it is already the late 1980s, and the technical indicators that were once comparable to the Sea Sparrow missile , it has long been outdated now, and the Navy News has publicized it several times, so now that Zhang Zhen and Qin Tao say it, it is not considered a leak.
It’s just that these words make people feel disappointed.
Without air supremacy, there is no sea supremacy. The Navy has long relied on anti-aircraft artillery for air defense, and has long been unable to keep up with the times. Now, the Hongqi-61 anti-aircraft missile that has just been put into service by the Navy has also fallen behind, which makes people sigh and lament. ah.
"In the West, twin-mounted missile launchers have long been outdated. Even if the vertical launcher is not used, we should put it into the missile launch box." Qin Tao continued: "The box is sealed, so that it can be greatly Reduces the chance of duds."
Just as Qin Tao was pointing the country, several people walked past them. Although these people were also wearing navy uniforms, they did not wear epaulettes, which looked a bit strange.
Three men and one woman, when they heard Qin Tao say this, they slowed down and turned to look at Qin Tao.
Suddenly, Qin Tao stopped and looked at a ship docked behind the 531 warship in shock.
This ship is not a regular warship. From the side, it looks like a bulk carrier. It has a wide and bloated hull and a wide deck in the front. Now on the front deck, there is a huge six-unit launch tube.
The launch tubes are cylindrical. The diameter of each launch tube is close to one and a half meters and the length is four to five meters. People standing under it will feel small.
This big guy looks full of power.
Qin Tao knew that this thing should be a weapons test ship. The 891 "Bisheng", the first domestic professional Type 909 comprehensive test ship, was officially put into service in 1997. Many of the navy's most powerful weapons were tested on it. . However, before that, the Navy still needs some weapons and equipment to be tested at sea. This ship should be used as a temporary weapons test ship.
The three men and one woman just got off this boat. At this time, there were still some people trying to cover the big guy with a tarpaulin.
Qin Tao stopped there.
Zhang Zhen looked at Qin Tao in surprise. He saw that Qin Tao's whole body was shaking, especially the muscles on his cheeks, which were like sifting chaff. Qin Tao gritted his teeth tightly, but he still couldn't help it and made a pop. Laughed out loud.
At this moment, Qin Tao couldn't control himself. His body was shaking violently, his hands slapped his thighs, and tears began to flow from his eyes.
Hmm, what kind of killer weapon is inside this?
Anti-submarine missiles? Anti-ship missiles? Or mushroom bombs?
The navy did not explain it, and the West kept guessing and published many professional articles. For a time, this six-unit large cylinder became a mystery.
When the mystery was revealed, everyone was shocked. What was stuffed into the big cylinder was actually the Hongqi-61, which had a range of only about ten kilometers!
This is simply a big killer of strategic deception. Although the Strategic Deception Bureau has not yet been established and the bureau is not famous, this kind of big guy still successfully deceived foreigners once.
Of course, this was not the initiative of the designer, but because the missile designers of the Hongqi-61 did not know how to design folding wings, so they could only build such a big thing.
“Hey, what are you laughing at?” The three men and one woman stopped, looking a little annoyed as Qin Tao laughed endlessly at his own missile launcher.
“Do you know what’s in here?”
“Senior brother, please pay attention to the confidentiality discipline. Let’s go and eat.” The girl started to dissuade him.
The other party left after saying that. Qin Baoshan's face was slightly embarrassed, but Qin Tao didn't take it seriously: "There is a long way to go to make up for the shortcomings of our navy's air defense."
"Yes, our navy's anti-ship capability is first-rate, but its air defense strength is too weak. In last year's naval battle, we fought and ran. In fact, we were afraid that the other side would use air power to retaliate." Zhang Zhen sighed.
“Captain Zhang, I have an idea, I don’t know whether to talk about it or not.” Qin Tao, Zhang Zhen and others also walked towards the canteen, talking as they walked.
“All ears.”
"Our Mingzhou Shipyard has begun to build large-scale dredgers. This kind of professional ship can not only dig river channels and solve the problem of port silt blocking waterways, but also accumulate the dredged silt." Qin Tao said: "If our navy has an idea, we can find a few islands and reefs in the southern seas, fill them up and turn them into land, then build airports there and deploy fighter jets, which will solve the problem of air power support in the southern seas."
Zhang Zhen’s eyes lit up, this is really a low-cost solution to the problem!
“Well, this is a good idea. I will report it to my superiors if I have the opportunity in the future.”
Pang Jianmin frowned: "Can this method work? It sounds unreliable."
In the sea, filling those reefs into islands is similar to how bold people were back then and how productive the land was. Isn’t this bragging?
Qin Tao smiled: "When our dredger is built, please go over and take a look. It will definitely be an artifact for land reclamation."
A group of people walked into the canteen. It was the peak period for dining. There was only one empty table left, and next to it were three men and one woman who had just come in.
Pang Jianmin ran to the window to ask for some snacks, and the other three people sat down. The position where Qin Tao was sitting happened to be closest to the woman. At this time, they were discussing quietly.
