Chapter 18 Let's install missiles for everyone
The structure of the warhead itself is relatively simple, and the principles and techniques are highly mature.
All are adjusted based on the existing drawings, and the technical indicators are typical data simulated, and the overall scientific research difficulty is very low.
Xu Xingchen paused the ongoing reverse engineering project and completed it in less than an hour, and obtained two upgraded missile drawings.
The "Sea Eagle-1 Armor-to-One" missile has increased its armor-piercing capability to 250 mm and its charge volume to 125 kilograms, and is suitable for new battleships below 60,000 tons.
The "Sea Eagle-1 Armor-Two" missile has an armor-piercing capacity of 320 mm, a charge of 190 kilograms, and a maximum range of 75 kilometers. It is suitable for new battleships below 80,000 tons.
Xu Xingchen looked at the parameters of the upgraded missile and was a little surprised. The missile's armor-piercing ability was much improved than the theoretical armor-piercing ability of the warhead!
After a few seconds of being stunned when he looked at the data, Xu Xingchen chuckled and scratched his head awkwardly:
"When designing the warhead, I just considered the weight of the warhead and forgot the structural weight of the missile itself..."
The structure of the Seahawk-1 missile is very heavy. When it reaches high subsonic speeds, these weights also gain a lot of kinetic energy.
This part of the kinetic energy will be transmitted to part of the warhead when the missile hits and collides, thereby increasing the penetration of the warhead.
Therefore, the overall armor-piercing ability after integrating the warhead and missiles will exceed that of the simple warhead.
After understanding the reason, Xu Xingchen shook his head as if he was ridiculed and adjusted the structure of the warhead and missile again.
"The penetration power of 320 mm is seriously exceeding the standard. The excess weight of the armor-piercing part should be replaced with a high-explosion part charge to enhance the overall destructive power."
Xu Xingchen quickly created the "type C semi-armor-piercing high-explosion warhead" and the supporting "Sea Eagle-1 A-3" missile.
"The missile contains a total weight of 2666 kg, a maximum range of 75 kilometers, a warhead weight of 750 kg, an armor-piercing capacity of 275 mm, and a 320 kg Ottokjin mixed charge, with a power equivalent to 512 kg TNT——"
The warhead of this missile is completely divided into two parts, with a buffer structure in the middle to avoid impact and suppress the high-explosion part.
The armor-piercing part is also filled with a small number of narrow and long medicine columns, which will explode at the same time as the high-explosion part. After the slender bullet body is broken, it will cause terrifying fragmented damage.
Xu Xingchen immediately generated the drawings, sent them to the production center, produced a set of equipment, put them into the system warehouse, and then went to the exercise venue excitedly.
On the shore of the largest exercise ground in the Admiral's Office, traditional ship girls such as Yixian were surrounding Little Chongqing, chattering and discussing something.
Xu Xingchen trotted over, and the ship girls immediately noticed it, and then came up with some excitement:
"commander!"
"Brother Admiral is here!"
"Admiral, Xiao Chongqing's radar is too strong!"
"It can detect fighter jets three hundred kilometers away and provide early air defense warning."
"The shell's near-explosion fuze is so useful! You don't need to hit it directly and shoot down the enemy plane!"
"The main gun and anti-aircraft gun can really kill almost all aircraft!"
Xu Xingchen is in a good mood now, looking at the girls in front of him, smiling and nodding:
"Okay, very good. I understand. The problem of the missile here has also been solved. I will replace the new missile in Xiao Chongqing and test the strike effect first. If there is no problem, I will install it for everyone today, and then we will start the actual combat drill!"
"Very good!"
Amid the cheers of the girls, Xu Xingchen greeted Xiao Chongqing and sat down at the resting place next to the exercise field.
Xu Xingchen summoned the system interface, clicked on the personal information of Xiao Chongqing, selected equipment addition, and put the new missiles and warheads into the equipment list carried by Xiao Chongqing.
Little Chongqing felt the data of the new equipment, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately replaced the missiles he carried with a new version.
Then he ran to the shore excitedly, jumped to the water of the exercise field, and prepared to try the new missile.
The other ship girls immediately became busy. Yixian took part to the control center, and the Chongqing seniors took part to stay on the scene to watch.
Under Yixian's operation, the target of the strike test was soon ready. The first test target was the King-class battleship to which the Duke of York belonged, the George V-class.
This is the new battleship confirmed by the enemy, and of course it should be the most preferred test target.
After the test began, the first missile hit directly, piercing through all multi-layer horizontal armor, destroying the target's rear-wheel cabin, and directly destroying half of the target's power.
All the subsequent five missiles also hit, and the continuous internal explosion exhausted the target's shield, directly paralyzing and eliminating it.
Then the test targets were constantly changed, and the impact on Bismarck, Veneto, South Dakota, Lisailiu, Iowa, and Yamato was tested in turn.
The results are exactly in line with Xu Xingchen's expectations and can ensure that the horizontal deck armor of all new battleships can be penetrated.
For most treaty-type new battleships, six missiles can basically ensure destruction, and at most one more last-shooting was added. Iowa used eight, and the largest size of Yasuo used ten.
After the test was completed, the ship girls returned to the exercise room control room and looked at the test data and playback screen on the console, and their joy was beyond words.
In the face of new weapons such as missiles, these old warships, including battleships, are only targets, no matter how large their size and strong defense capabilities are. They only need a little patience to destroy her.
Missile destroyers can rely on their observation and range advantages to sink them with their missiles beyond their range and range of sight.
The weapons and technologies that truly subvert naval battles have finally been fully displayed in front of you, at their own right.
Xu Xingchen waited patiently beside him, and waited until their emotions were almost vented, and then he smiled and announced:
"Since the test effect is exactly in line with expectations, let's start installing missiles now. The project volume is not large. You can change it together. Sister Yixian, please send a message quickly and gather all the ship girls in the Admiral's Mansion!"
"oh--"
The ship girls around who were more lively personality subconsciously started to cheer, but Yixian extended his hand out with a serious expression:
"Wait a minute, everyone can be quiet."
Xu Xingchen and the ship girls were both stunned:
"What's wrong with Sister Yixian?"
Yixian took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"Xingchen, my suggestion is not to popularize missiles into the Admiral's Office. Only install them for ship girls who have already contracted to avoid unnecessary trouble in the later stage..."
Xu Xingchen became even more confused:
"Why? Sister Yixian, do you think that the ship girl who has not signed a contract with me may still betray her? Is this impossible?"
Xu Xingchen has never heard of a ship girl betrayed such a thing. Even an independent ship girl would keep her promises and be loyal to her life and work.
The key is that the remaining ship girls in the Admiral’s Mansion in Yunhai are all the contract ship girls of Xu Xingchen’s father, and they are all Xu Xingchen’s sisters.
Moreover, to this level, the people who remained unwaveringly unswervingly would not fight and would be betrayed after victory.
This is Xu Xingchen's idea, and it is also the idea of most other ship ladies at the scene, so now everyone is looking at Yixian in confusion.
Chapter completed!
