Chapter 428 The Missile Technology That Overwhelms All (Part 2)

Ye Chen is a fan of the army, and he is very familiar with the situation of the V bomb, so he told me like a few treasures. . update the fastest

"Germany has developed two models, one is the V1 bomb, which is a cruise missile." Ye Chen continued: "At that time, due to technical problems, the performance of the cruise missile was not very good, and it was easy to be intercepted by aircraft artillery. But , The cost of this kind of missile is very cheap. Germany manufactured tens of thousands of them, and most of them were thrown to the UK, which caused heavy losses to the UK and London was greatly damaged. This created panic to a certain extent. Fatty Qiu had to order war insurance. Fatty Qiu has always been proud of this and considered it one of his great achievements."

War insurance, this thing sounds too ridiculous. War is destruction, and it will be destroyed on a large scale. If anyone carries out war insurance, he will definitely lose his pants. But in World War II, Britain did just that. Fatty Qiu did this with the guarantee of the state, and he has always been very proud of himself.

"The other type is called v2 bomb, which is a ballistic missile. This kind of missile is impossible to defend against, and it caused a lot of panic in the UK." Ye Chen said again: "Germany studies missiles, and they want to use this new weapon to defeat the enemy. Britain forced Britain to surrender. However, this idea failed to materialize in the end. Many people are accusing the Germans of being delusional. This is wrong. It should be said that this weapon appeared late. If it appeared a few years earlier, the Germans would It may not be possible to achieve the goal.”

Germany's bombing of London with missiles only started in June 1944. Friends who are familiar with the history of World War II know that Germany's fate was doomed this year, and it was bound to fail.

On the Eastern Front, the Red Empire has been victorious and has regained all the land. Millions of troops are attacking the west like a tide, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Berlin, the capital of Germany.

On the western front, the British and American allies opened up the second battle, successfully landed in Normandy, and began to counterattack the European continent.

For the anti-fascist camp, this is great news, morale is high, and victory is expected. Not to mention Germany bombing London, even if London is razed to the ground, Britain will not surrender.

If the missile appeared a few years earlier and was put into use after the Dunkirk retreat, it would definitely cause huge losses to the UK, and it would also severely damage the morale of the UK. It is hard to say whether the UK can survive.

After the Dunkirk retreat, British morale was low, with a dejected look, and no determination to resist firmly. If it is bombed by missiles at this time, it may become the last straw that breaks the camel's camel.

Of course, what caused this situation was that at that time, the accuracy of missiles was a big problem. Germany wanted to bomb London, but it turned out that a large part of the missiles fell to other places and never reached London at all.

If the missiles at that time could have the current accuracy, it is absolutely possible to carry out the decapitation operation,

Take out the head of Britain and the Allied High Command. In that case, the consequences would be very serious.

"It can be said that missiles are one of the most terrifying and evil weapons in human history. The combination of missiles, radars, satellites, and nuclear weapons makes human beings live in the shadow of nuclear war." Ye Chen continued to comment, saying: "If there is no Missiles, even with nuclear weapons, would not be such a threat to humanity."

Mr. Zhuang nodded heavily, agreeing with Ye Chen's statement.

Ye Chen's statement is not exaggerated at all. The missile is really one of the most terrifying and evil weapons in human history. If there were no missiles, even if nuclear weapons were needed, the threat to mankind would not be so great.

To use an analogy, missiles are guns, and nuclear weapons are bullets. What good are bullets if you don't have a gun?

With missiles, nuclear weapons can be used in a variety of ways. They can be launched from space, from submarines, and from land, which makes nuclear weapons hard to defend against.

Of course, it can also be thrown from the plane. However, the speed of the aircraft is relatively slow, the defense penetration capability is not as strong as the missile, and the threat is relatively small.

"However, from the perspective of civilian scientific research, the emergence of missiles is one of the most outstanding inventions in human history, and has made important contributions to human progress." Ye Chen changed the subject and said: "Without missiles, it would be impossible It is impossible to have a space station if there are satellites in the sky, it is impossible to successfully land on the moon, and it is impossible to have the detection of Mars.”

The only difference between a missile and a rocket is whether it has a warhead or not, and what the missile can do, the rocket can also do, and there is not much difference in technology.

We can now make transoceanic phone calls and use navigation systems because of satellites in the sky. However, without a launch vehicle, can a satellite go to the sky?

Can there be manned spaceflight without rockets? Can a space station be built? Can we achieve the moon landing? Can Mars exploration be carried out? Can deep space exploration be carried out?

In a word, the invention of missiles is the cornerstone for human beings to go out of the earth and into space.

From this point of view, the invention of the missile is one of the most outstanding inventions in the history of mankind. It has an extremely significant impact on mankind, making the dream of flying into the sky a reality.

"Well, Xiaoye, you are a very good military fan. You are very familiar with the history of missiles, and now you can explain them very thoroughly." Mr. Zhuang appreciated it very much, and said: "Although there are many problems with the missiles used in World War II, people Everyone knows that this weapon has broad development prospects, and the future is limitless. Both the Red Empire and the United States want to master this technology, so they began to compete with German scientists."

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhuang's tone turned higher, and said: "According to the "Yalta Agreement", Pinamont, the main location of the V2 missile production plant, was allocated to the Red Empire for trusteeship. The United States was very unwilling. "Paperclip" operation. Within 10 days from May 22 to May 31, 1945, the U.S. military advanced into the Bavarian region and occupied the local area. The equipment and semi-finished products were all rushed away, and when the Red Emperor team arrived on the second day, that is, on June 1, they only saw empty factories."

"More importantly, the United States has brought 126 German missile experts to the United States, forcing these missile experts to work for the United States. By 1946, the United States has launched the first V2 missile. This speed is amazing. If the United States did not capture With so many German scientists, that's impossible."

The missile technology of the United States has always been the most advanced in the world. After all, it is because the United States has a higher starting point and developed from the foundation of Germany. Without this foundation, could the United States possess such advanced missile technology?

No one can tell.

"The advantage of the United States doing this is that it directly skips the basic research stage. It doesn't need to conduct preliminary research, just use it directly." Zhuang Lao is worthy of being a missile expert and is familiar with the history of missiles. At the end of the 1920s, missiles were being researched, and they were not used until 1944. This is a period of nearly 20 years. Germany’s research has saved the United States nearly 20 years of time. Is the United States’ missile technology the world’s best? Is it advanced?"

In the past few years, we often saw a saying in the media that the United States despises China, and China's technology is more than ten or twenty years behind that of the United States. After all, it is a generation behind.

No matter how good we are and how fast we develop, this time cannot be shortened. The reason is that the development of a high-tech must have previous accumulation, without the early accumulation, it is impossible to complete. It will take about ten or twenty years to complete the previous accumulation.

Of course, our country has seen this, so our country has not followed behind the Western countries headed by the United States, but has to embark on a unique path of our own to achieve "curve overtaking".

Otherwise, if you chase after others, you will never be able to catch up.

"Our country's missile research is many years late." Mr. Zhuang shook his head, with a sad face, and said: "If you count the time when the United States researched missiles, we are nearly 20 years late. In this way It’s not right, if you add another 20 years to the time when Germany researched missiles, it’s almost 40 years.”

The United States has captured so many German missile experts, including the German missile director. It goes without saying how high the standard of these German scientists is.

These German scientists not only work for the United States, build missiles for the United States, but also train talents for the United States, so that the United States has a large number of high-level missile experts at once.

The 40-year gap is not so easy to catch up. In the past, our country's missile technology lagged behind that of the United States, which is normal.

"In addition, our country's industrial foundation is weak, there is a shortage of talents, and there is even a shortage of experimental equipment. There is also a severe blockade imposed by Western countries on our country, and even medicines are not allowed to be exported to our country." Zhuang Lao was very proud, said: "Our country can make missiles, which is a miracle in the world!"

This is absolutely true.

At that time, our country did not have missile-related talents at all. Many college students did not major in missiles, and they were not even close to missiles. They were entrusted with important tasks by the country and required to participate in missile research and development. For the sake of the country and the future of the nation, they have to learn from scratch.

Many people lamented that when the father of missiles was abroad, he made a lot of research results and achieved a lot, but after returning to China, he failed, and there were not many results. In fact, the father of missiles achieved the greatest results after returning to China. He not only developed missiles for our country, but also trained many talents for our country.

These talents, and the talents they cultivated, became the backbone of our national aerospace industry.

It can be said that the father of missiles is full of peaches and plums.

"According to our conditions at the time, being able to produce missiles is a victory. As for catching up with the level of Western countries, it cannot be accomplished in a short period of time, and it will take a long time." Elder Zhuang said very seriously, "Some people think that Our country’s missiles are no worse than Western countries. This is wrong. We should face the reality and see the gap. Fortunately, after so many years of hard work, our country’s missile level has caught up with the level of Western countries. , and even surpassed in some aspects.”

"For example, anti-ship ballistic missiles." Ye Chen said excitedly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)
