Chapter 757 Small Solid Rocket Engine
The Strait of Malacca is a world-famous traffic artery. It is a golden waterway with countless ships coming and going every day.
On this day, on the busy Strait of Malacca route, a huge fleet came from the east. This fleet consists of a missile destroyer, a frigate, a comprehensive supply ship and four medium-sized missile boats. In today's world, there are not many countries that can send such a large fleet at a time.
The appearance of this fleet aroused the interest of ships passing through the Strait of Malacca, and many people couldn't help but stand on the deck and look at each other.
When they saw the red flag hanging on the fleet, many people suddenly realized that this was the naval fleet of China, and it seemed that it was going to enter the Indian Ocean. Some people who are lively and have some understanding of the international military immediately realized that the Chinese navy rarely dispatched a navy of such a large size to leave the Pacific Ocean unless it has a special purpose, such as escorting the Gulf of Aden.
However, there are still four missile boats in this fleet, and several escort fleets sent by China before do not seem to have such small ships.
An Indonesian naval frigate appeared on the side of the fleet, with a friendly flag, escorting Buddha, and escorting the Chinese naval fleet out of the Strait of Malacca.
Ahmed? At this moment, Kadav was standing on a 022 stealth missile boat and looking at the destroyer in front of him, with a look of envy in his eyes.
As a defender of civilian marine interests to a 'patriotic pirate' to a naval officer, Kadav can be said to be a very special member of the modern navy. He is culturally patriotistic, but he is not a formal naval graduate. He can become a Somali navy, which is inseparable from his legendary pirate experience, and it is also inseparable from Li Mo's value and support.
This time, Somalia sent him to China with a group of Somali naval officers and soldiers to receive four missile boats, which is a concrete manifestation of this "respect for cooperation".
However, as a member of the navy, Kadav doesn't like the 220-ton missile boat under his feet very much. He prefers those big guys, such as the Huaxia missile destroyer in front of him. The missile boat under its feet has a special shape and a certain stealth ability. The firepower is also powerful among medium-sized missile boats. It has 8 eagle-attack 83 anti-ship missiles with a range of more than 150 kilometers. The most exaggerated missile boat is high-speed airworthiness, and the maximum speed can reach 50 knots. This is 'swordfish'. The number that the missile boat can't reach. However, Kadav felt that the 022 missile boat was much weaker than the 'Swordfish' missile boat.
The 'Swordfish' missile boat was developed from the former Soviet Union's 'Poison Spider 3' missile boat. It was modernized and upgraded and improved by the requirements of the Ukrainian naval shipyard and the ship design department. It not only upgraded the radar and fire control system, but also made corresponding improvements in weapons and equipment. ' The Poison Spider 3' missile boat itself has only 4 "smoo" anti-ship missiles, while the 'swordfish' has 8 "smoo" improved models, with a range of 120 kilometers and a combat unit of 320 kg, which is twice that of the Hawk 83 anti-ship missile. It is a heavy anti-ship missile. One or two can cause serious damage to 10,000 tons of cruisers. It can even pose a threat to the aircraft carrier.
And the range and air defense capability of the 'Swordfish' class are not comparable to those of 022 missile boats. In Kadav's view, it is better to continue to purchase a few 'Swordfish'-class missile boats in Ukraine than to buy Class 022.
Just as Kadav was meditating, another warship appeared on the western sea. Zheng Zaihao stood on the deck and watched the Chinese naval fleet slowly coming with a telescope, with a flash of fire in his eyes.
Jung Jae-ho is a 'Korean Republic of Korea' who despises Chinese people with the same skin color as himself. In his opinion, Chinese people are not as good as Koreans, and Chinese people should be Koreans. Moreover, if it hadn't been for the cooperation of Chinese people and Lao Maozi, the Republic of Korea would have unified the Korean Peninsula and become a world-renowned power.
And the recent incident has caused Zheng Zaihao's disgust and hatred for the Chinese people, that is, in the South Korean navy's halberd Somali pirates, China's media and officials have published some unfavorable views or reports on him. As the only major country in Asia, South Korea's close neighbor, China's attitude is still shadowy. It sounded to some Koreans, which made Jung Jae-ho hate China to the bone.
When he saw the slowly passing Chinese naval fleet in front of him, Zheng Zaihao's eyes were even more resentful. He thought that the Chinese sent an escort fleet to the Gulf of Aden, but he himself wanted to return to China for review. Needless to say, the imbalance in his heart.
"The four missile boats seem to have been purchased by the Somali navy. In this way, the speed of the Somali navy's elimination of pirates will certainly be accelerated." At this moment, a soft laughter came from Zheng Zaihao's ear. Looking back, it was the acting captain of the destroyer Cui Ying, his former assistant.
Listening to the deputy captain gloating and even with some deep laughter. Zheng Zaihao couldn't stop being angry and couldn't wait for the little man who hated 'usp usurping power and seizing women' in front of him to have a taekwondo confrontation. But when he thought that he was still guilty, he still held back.
Until the deputy captain left proudly, Zheng Zaihao clenched his fists, and the blue veins on his forehead bulged and snorted angrily. Thinking of the promise of the Americans, his anger in his heart has decreased a lot. When the Americans help me get rid of this trouble, I will be good-looking. I will let those who have offend me know that Zheng Zaihao is awesome.
......
Baidoa Aviation Industrial Park, a secret weapons testing ground, where Li Mo, deputy commander-in-chief of the Somali Defense Forces, quietly appeared.
He came here today to visit a weapons test.
A weapon experimenter carrying an anti-tank missile launcher aimed at an armored target one kilometer away and launched an anti-tank missile, and then a Mi-24 armed helicopter launched an anti-tank missile at an armored target three kilometers away. After that, a group of technical experts obtained missile launch data and the degree of target destruction through a lot of complex instruments.
The weapon tested this time is clear, that is, anti-tank missiles. In fact, with the technology mastered by Star Group, it has long been able to imitate some anti-tank missiles, but in the past, it has encountered difficulties in the solid rocket engine of the missile. It has always been assembled by purchasing the whole engine from the outside. The real purpose of this test is to test the first generation of solid rocket engines produced by itself.
Although Li Mo looked at it from afar, he had a smile on his face. Although the expert group had not yet reported the experimental data of the missile, what he saw was the scene where the missile was successfully launched and the target was accurately destroyed.
"It worked, boss, we did it!" Abick quickly ran over with a report and shouted at Li Mo with an excited face.
The research of solid rocket engines can be said to be the focus of the missile research center, and the manufacturing process and formula of solid propellant are complex and require a large number of tests. Chemical technology was originally the weakness of the scientific research department of Xingchen Group, but with Li Mo's reform of the scientific research department and increased capital investment and specialization Many problems of home recruitment have been solved one by one. For example, the missile engine just launched to imitate the Russian AT-6 anti-tank missile and absorbed part of the U.S. Dow anti-tank missile technology is the result of the cooperation between the Missile Research Center and the Power Institute.
The research of solid propellant, from the initial single-based propellant to the current dual-based propellant used in the missile, the scientific research department has made great efforts and painstaking efforts. In the experiment day and night, we finally found a stable and balanced manufacturing process with a stable surname and economic surname, and produced a basically mature and suitable technology. Industrially produced solid propellant.
"Everyone has worked hard. When I go back, I will ask the group to reward you. Also, if these experts have any needs, you must satisfy them. If you can't solve it, report it to the group headquarters or tell me directly, and I will solve it." Li Mo nodded with satisfaction and did not hesitate to appreciate Abick. Of course, for those valuable experts, Li Mo gave what he wanted. The important surname of scientific and technological talents, Li Mo knew that it was these talents who cultivated and recruited by foreign sources that worked together to solve one problem after another in the short term.
These people serve themselves, and Li Mo will naturally be rewarded.
"Thank you, boss. The treatment you give to everyone is almost the same as that of those big countries in science and technology, and everyone basically doesn't need anything. However, some experts who are not in Somalia hope to relax their restrictions and give them a certain period of time every year to allow them to return to China to visit their families. Abyke first thanked on behalf of the scientific research department. Seeing that Li Mo's look seemed to be very happy, he mentioned a very taboo question.
The scientific research department of Star Group now occupies the largest number of technical talents trained by Li Mo over the years, nor Somali technical experts, but experts from various levels and fields recruited from various countries. Although there are no top scientists in the industry, these people are an indispensable part of the scientific research department, which fully complements the shortcomings and shortcomings of the scientific research department of Star Group. These people apply for Star Group. In addition to the good treatment here, what they pay more attention to is Li Mo's attention to scientific research talents. As the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. There are many countries that attach importance to scientific research talents. Which old countries do not know the important names of scientific research talents? However, there are also many scientific research talents in these countries. Dozens and hundreds of years of training have allowed these countries to have their own complete talent training system, and there are many top talents. In this way, it is bound to cause these countries to pay less attention to those who are not famous scientists and top talents.
On the contrary, these problems will not appear here in Li Mo, because Li Mo lacks talents, and the demand for all kinds of talents is huge. Joining Li Mo's banner, the salary is extremely high, and he does not worry about not being taken seriously. However, Li Mo's restrictions on these talents are also very strict, especially some core departments, many of whom are exposed to the top secrets of the Star Group. Li Mo will certainly not allow the brain drain of these talents whose loyalty has not been tested, and even relying on his opponents to cause significant losses.
