The Sino-Japanese Combined Fleet was almost taken by the Italian Air Force in one fell swoop, and even Yang Rui was very different about this. Didn’t the Italian army say that the dough was very good, why didn’t it be dough this time? And it was also very well-deserved, no, it was already done. If Zhu Tiansen had not dealt with it properly temporarily, he would probably have lost only twenty-nine fighters.

"What happened again?" Wang Jitong, who was introducing the situation in the Rocket Laboratory, asked. At this time, the two were not Tonghua, but on another fief of Yang Rui, Sakhalin Island. This narrow island of nearly 80,000 square kilometers belonged to him. The reason why they asked for it was not really for fishing.

"The Navy has something, but it's okay now." Yang Rui did not tell the truth about Wang Jitong, nor did he need to explain it in detail. Wang Jitong was not interested in the naval operations. He returned the telegram to Bei Shoutong who came with him, turned his thoughts back to the present, and said, "You'd better continue to say it, I'll stay here for three hours."

Sakhalin Island is more than 900 kilometers long from north to south, and is sparsely populated and is self-contained. There is no better place for rocket launching sites than here. Therefore, the Rocket Laboratory is located on Sakhalin Island.

"...The meeting next time mainly reports on the current rocket development situation, mainly divided into two project groups, which are also divided according to your requirements. One is the rocket with vertical take-off and landing, and the other is the cruise rocket you call it. Although the laboratory is divided into groups, many groups in the project group are actually shared, such as fuel, electromechanical, navigation, and propulsion. The laboratory head is Qian Changzuo, a native of Changshu, Jiangsu. He first studied at MIT, and then went to the University of Berlin, Germany.

When I started to set up this laboratory ten years ago, I asked him to come back. It was no better than now. There were no Rocket talents, and there were only a few people. However, the benefits of fewer people and fewer people, it was at least easy to settle down here..."

The laboratories were basically managed by Wang Jitong, and most of them were selected by him. After the economic reform ten years ago, except for the atomic bomb laboratory still allocated funds by the government, the other laboratories were supported by Tianzi funds. Fortunately, these laboratories did not spend much in the early stage, and more than 830 tons of gold were smuggled from the United States three years ago. Because the Chinese dollar depreciated by 40% with the US dollar, more than 830 tons of gold were used as reserves. If one-half of them was redeemed, 3.6 billion yuan of Chinese dollar could be issued. In addition to the more than 700 million US dollars spent in the smuggling operation, the remaining 2.2 billion yuan was a huge sum of money that could be used at will.

However, this must be done by the State Bank in China and to realize additional issuances; at the same time, this is also due to the fact that China's foreign trade has been in a state of overspread. The State Bank can exchange the newly printed Huayuan for traders' US dollars, which will fill the foreign exchange gap of more than 600 million US dollars spent on gold exchange in the United States in two years. Otherwise, the more than 600 million US dollars can only be obtained by selling gold, so that only more than 400 million Chinese Yuan gold can be left in the hand, and even if the Huayuan issuance issuance, it will only be over 800 million.

Wang Jitong has always been concerned about spending money, whether it is making money, whether it is speculation or robbing openly or secretly, as long as there is money in his account, he can manage the laboratory according to the plan and increase the laboratory funds in order to achieve results as soon as possible. Among the six most important laboratories under his jurisdiction, only the rocket and the jet engine are the most difficult. Until now, there have not been any clear results. This time, Yang Rui temporarily decided to go to Japan but had to take a detour to visit Sakhalin Island, so he had to arrange this report for no reason.

The list of the backbone personnel of the laboratory is in Yang Rui. In addition to the general manager Qian Changzuo mentioned by Wang Jitong, there are also some backbones of the laboratory. Most of them have German backgrounds, and many of them are from the same school. However, what surprised Yang Rui the most was that there were actually two women among them. One was Wang Ji-chi, a Ph.D. in chemistry, and the other was Lu Shijia, a Ph.D. in Fluid Mechanics.

"This is Wang Jizhi..." Yang Rui looked at the photo and felt that this person was very similar to Wang Jitong.

"It's my sister." Wang Jitong nodded and replied, he was surprised by Yang Rui's surprise. "Have you seen it before?"

"Yeah." Yang Rui had seen it. But he had too many sisters, so he couldn't figure out who was who.

"Originally, I was going to promise you back then..." Wang Jitong talked about the past with a smile.

"Haha, aren't you also a relative now?" Yang Rui was a little embarrassed. The in-laws he said were his son marrying Wang Jitong's granddaughter. By seniority, he was one generation lower than Wang Jitong, so the relative was very uncomfortable. Fortunately, he said that the person in charge of the laboratory there came. It was probably for work needs. The people who came were dressed in short shirts, and the leader was Qian Changzuo, a man in glasses.

"You guys are exempted from the gift!" Yang Rui waved before they saluted. At this time, he was dressed in a standard set by the Ministry of Rites. He wore a Chinese duke's dress. In addition to a jade pendant and a sword around his waist, he left for Japan in the afternoon. Seeing that the Japanese could not lose the price, he was dressed in this outfit. "The first thing I came here is here, the first thing I came to see you. After all, I have been fortunately for several years; then I learned about the progress of the project and listen to your opinions and ideas..."

Among the seven or eight people who came, even women felt a little disheveled. Seeing this scene, Yang Rui did not inspire him with great fanfare, but wanted to hear the voices of these people.

"Sir, Mr. Yang Rui said so kindly, but Qian Changzuo, the leader, was still a little nervous. He said: "Changzuo really has a burden..."

"Okay! Don't say such depressing words." Yang Rui immediately waved his hand to stop him. "What you did is unprecedented. I am very satisfied with how much you can reach this level within a few years. The reason why you still can't meet the requirements is that it may be because the requirements are too high. The times always have restrictions. It is difficult for people to surpass the times they live in, and the same is true for scientific research. If it really doesn't work, then treat the Rocket project as basic research and prepare for the future."

Because Shanghai Film Company filmed a meteorite hit the Earth, and with the follow-up films from film companies from various countries, everyone in the Rocket Laboratory had more or less a cosmic dream, and they all fantasized about seeing humans walk out of the Earth in their lifetime. At this time, they heard Yang Rui say that they would treat the Rocket project as basic research, and they were suddenly disappointed.

Wang Jitong's sister Wang Jizi saw her brother beside her, and immediately said, "Sir, Team Qian is a polite word. Rocket Laboratory has achieved some results over the years. At least, liquid fuel solves the production and use of nitrous oxide/dimethylhydrazine. We also found a suitable adhesive for solid fuel, which is one step closer to the available rocket solid fuel. The successful development of rockets used by the army is also inseparable from this."

After all, Wang Jizi is the Huang generation and the twentie girl. Although she is only responsible for fuel, she can make decisions on many things in the laboratory. Her righteous performance only makes Wang Jitong laugh. The liquid fuel formula was actually ordered by Yang Rui. Wang Jizi only did it to realize it. When he found that the fuel was extremely toxic, the laboratory wanted to give up, but in the end he persisted. Now his sister regards Yang Rui as an unknown person, which really makes him funny.

Unlike Wang Jitong's laughter, Yang Rui nodded seriously and praised him. Although the formula of liquid rocket fuel was copied from the chemistry book and the rocket shape was also copied in the book, he wrote a lightly and said that the researcher spent ten years on a researcher's laughter and said, "The results are to be commended, but the project is kept confidential, so I can only wait for the future to reward the merits." He turned to Wang Jitong and asked seriously: "Is the project's bonus paid?"

"It's been given out long ago." Wang Jitong heard the bonus and wanted to laugh again, "At that time, it was said that the island was too cold, so the reward was for the entire project team Hainan, Miluo half-month tour, plus the bonus." After saying that, he looked at Wang Jizhi again and blamed him, "You are the best treatment and the most rewards." After saying a few words from his sister, he saw that Yang Rui was still waiting, so he returned to the main topic, "Xinjue, it's better to say it. It's concise, so you can leave here for a few hours."

"Yes." As Wang Jizi spoke, Qian Changzuo had grasped the rough measure and calmed down. He said: "Sir, although the laboratory is two projects, the two projects actually have many interdisciplinary disciplines, and the people we can use are very limited, so the staff of the two project teams were compiled together.

For cruise rockets, because the pulse jet engine is extremely simple, we set the engine a long time ago. Based on the fact that the pulse engine cannot fly at an altitude of more than three thousand meters, the fuel we used for cruise rockets is gasoline, and the appearance of the aerodynamic design also leans on the aircraft, but because the vibration of the engine will cause the rocket itself to fail. Considering that the rocket can only be ejected and launched, we finally had to install the engine behind the rocket..."

Although he was not prepared enough and Qian Changzuo did not bring any information, he still outlined the appearance of the cruise rocket on a blank sheet of paper. It seems that the designs are the same. It is precisely because the engine is too vibrating and the rocket needs to eject to a certain speed before it can work on its own. Therefore, the laboratory air aerodynamic team finally chose the appearance of the historical V1 missile.

"After years of experimentation, the reliability of the rocket itself is no longer fatal. Even if it is a catapult, we have thought of many ways to improve it and simplify it. Now we only need a trajectory with a length of 21 meters and an angle of 6.5 degrees to be launched. When the rocket is equipped with 1,200 liters of gasoline, it can fly 580 kilometers per hour at a speed of 580 kilometers per hour and carry a warhead of 600 kilograms." Qian Changzuo said the parameters of the cruise rocket, which is not as good as the German v1, except for the range. But the problem is that the cruise rocket is originally an unmanned aircraft, and its navigation distance is proportional to the fuel. As long as the rocket's balance is not destroyed, fuel can solve the range problem.

"It's too slow!" Yang Rui heard that the rocket was less than 600 kilometers. Doesn't this mean that a faster plane can shoot them down? "The warhead is too light," he asked about another problem.

"Yes, sir." Qian Changzuo agreed. He understood that the cruise rocket was used for military purposes, although the development project book required the development of a target aircraft that can be used for the Air Force to shoot targets. "We have already begun to solve the problem of speed. The reason for it is too slow is that the low-grade gasoline used in automobiles is used. If high-grade gasoline is used, the thrust of the new engine has increased to 4.6,000 N, which is nearly half of the previous one. Based on the full load weight of the rocket 2,500 kilograms, the flight speed can be close to 800 kilometers per hour."

"Can you still be faster?" Yang Rui asked. He didn't know how fast the V1 missile was, but he knew that one Mach was equal to 1,220 kilometers per hour. If the speed of a cruise rocket could reach 850 kilometers, it would be the speed of the Tomahawk cruise missile.

"It's very difficult." Qian Changzuo shook his head helplessly under Yang Rui's gaze. "Eight hundred kilometers is the theoretical maximum, and the rocket needs to fly in a low state. If the flight altitude is too high and the engine cannot reach the design thrust, then the speed is only about 750 kilometers."

"Eight hundred is eight hundred." Yang Rui was not worried about the altitude at all. Cruise rockets have always been flying at altitude of dozens of meters, so there is no need to fly at an altitude of several thousand meters. "What is the main problem now?"

"The main reason is that we cannot control the remote control." Qian Changzuo said, "We can already roughly control the rocket's flight posture, but the rocket needs more accurate gyroscopes and accelerometers, so no one knows where it will fly."

It's a gyroscope again! Yang Rui looked at Wang Jitong. Chen Se several years ago reported that he could use a laser gyroscope. He and Wang Jitong both had high hopes. Unexpectedly, things were created, but light also had problems with light. Once the forward and reverse light speeds are coupled, the result is that their oscillation frequency tends to be synchronized and the lower angular velocity cannot be measured. Their accuracy is one order of magnitude worse than the current mechanical gyroscope.

"Is radio navigation not OK?" Yang Rui turned to ask Qian Changzuo. Every time he thought of getting a copycat version of the Tomahawk cruise missile, his heart was full of heat. He made up his mind very early on that even if he spent hundreds of millions, he would build this killer weapon. He didn't know that later generations once said: "About structure, aerodynamics, and propulsion these problems are only 20% of the entire missile design problem, and the remaining 80% are completely a problem of control."

"We have tried it, but once during the experiment, because the people living on the island turned on the radio, the rocket crashed uncontrollably." Qian Changzuo said, "I was sweating unconsciously. That time was so dangerous.

"Where is the radar?" Yang Rui asked another navigation method.

"Sir..." said Wang Chengfu, deputy head of the laboratory. "The project book requires cheapness. If radar is used, the cost of the rocket will exceed the expected one. Besides, the radar can only track existing targets and cannot make the rocket fly toward the destination."
