Chapter 1667 Thermobaric bomb

Before the second exercise, the person in charge of the rocket launcher did not pay attention to the combat location. In the earliest rockets, ordinary explosives were used, and the concept of high-explosion explosives was not introduced. Later, the assistant gave a point to make the rocket's performance more considerable, so the high-explosion bomb was used. However, now, clear problems have been raised. If the problem of combat location is not solved, this weapon will not be able to enter service and cannot be sold on a large scale.

Raising combat locations to this level is something that is rarely encountered among weapons. Those who make guns and cannons only consider their own performance. The same is true for rocket launchers. Although most of the power of rocket launchers is on rockets and the technical indicators of rockets are also the highest, they only use rocket launchers as a carrier to transport combat parts to places dozens of kilometers away.

What they consider is the stability and accuracy of the rockets. As for their power, it depends on the power of the current gunpowder. In their opinion, under the current premise, the maximum is enough, and there is no need to consider so much.

Now, when the combat positions that are strong enough will cause geometric changes, he has no choice but to ignore them. Although after adjustment, the power of 207 has increased a lot compared to the first exercise, but the advantages and disadvantages are still there. They are not covered up with 107 because of their flexible use. Instead, they are somewhat prominent. If you want to sell 207, you must solve this problem. If 207 cannot take the path of 107, you must increase the power. At least as the officer said, it must be raised to about 2 times the base temperature. This is a basis point.

The Rocket Research Institute has a large number of aerodynamic appearances, rocket engines, and even some materials, but there is really no one in the combat location. In the past, it was made by the shell laboratory to get the best explosives directly from where to go, and even some detonation methods were somewhat similar to some shells. But now, high-explosion explosives cannot have power unless China's explosives can make a large progress beyond the leap.

Fortunately, Yang Yuanzhao has pointed him in the direction. On the premise that high-explosive bombs cannot play a role, he can choose napalm bombs. He went to the research institute of napalm bombs first.

China's military-industrial system is quite practical. Some powerful and widely used systems are not only more in-depth research, but also very large. This is the case with napalm bombs. It has developed from two or three groups of people to the present. There are 27 laboratories across the country, classified and researched from eight or nine directions. This is even larger than before the rocket laboratory was split into missiles and rocket launchers.

He sent people here before, mainly to contact the miniaturization of napalm bombs, but the news he received was not optimistic. The institute is also studying miniaturization. The lightest one at present is 370 kilograms, which has been reduced a lot compared to 550 kilograms. However, the difference is huge compared to the 55 kilograms of combat positions.

Although it is impossible for rocket launchers to be large, they can improve the caliber. 307, 407, or even 607. The caliber of rocket launchers is never a problem with the material of gun steel, but a problem with aerodynamic appearance and rocket engine. As long as these two problems are successfully solved, a 1,000 mm caliber rocket launcher, that is, one meter, can be made.

However, that is no longer what they are responsible for. The caliber of the rocket launcher is determined to be 107 and 207. No matter how large it is, the cost will progress rapidly. After all, the caliber is expanded by 100 mm and the weight will be nearly doubled, and the performance of the rocket engine will also be improved. To a certain extent, the rocket launcher is no longer a cheap weapon, but becomes a high-priced attack method. It is impossible to use a coverage attack method, but is precisely designed. That is the research content of another research team, and they cannot interfere.

I hit a nail in the napalm bomb. The person in charge was a little unhappy and was about to leave. I accidentally heard another topic, the temperature-pressure bomb, which is an advanced research on air bombs. Compared with the napalm bomb, its energy is higher, but the weight requirement is not that high, and the minimum critical point is not that high.

Research on temperature-pressure bombs has begun as early as when napalm bombs were popular. They are not just about rocket launchers, but about the second-generation or even the third-generation air bombs. China's gunpowder is gradually moving forward, but the forward amplitude is not too large. Adding as much substance as possible to the gunpowder can only increase the power of the gunpowder slightly on the original basis, and it has not reached the order of magnitude of napalm bombs. After all, the order of magnitude of gunpowder is not as high as that of burning substances such as oil.

But in another way, many metals have super oxidative properties. Once ignited, the energy released by violent combustion is far higher than that of ordinary gunpowder or even oil. There are a large number of metals that can oxidize. However, this metal is difficult to appear in nature, under normal temperature and pressure, in the form of a single substance, or can only exist for a short time. Once exposed to oxygen for too long, it will be oxidized.

However, such oxidation process is not expressed by explosion. It is just like rusting iron. It is also an oxidation process. It is completely different from the combustion of iron at the limit temperature. The former is a violent oxidation process, while the latter is a slow oxidation process. Different processes have completely different forms of expression.

It seems that it cannot be used, but a short time is an opportunity. No matter how short it is, it is longer than the explosion of explosives, especially some complex chemical reactions. If you figure this out, use the chemical reaction to obtain some strongly oxidized metals and metal alloys, and finally burst and burn with the help of various oxidants, and release huge energy. This is the main direction of the temperature-pressure bomb.

Explosives are a way for substances to react rapidly and eventually explode and release energy. In fact, ordinary explosives have no energy level without oil or even high coal. However, coal and oil cannot emit most of the energy in an instant, so they can generally only be used as fuel. Napalm bombs are a way to add other additives. In a unique state, they have certain limitations. For example, when there is no aerosol cloud, napalm bombs will not explode and burn quickly. At most, they are igniting oil and attaching to various metals to burn, and they can't exert such a terrible attack effect as napalm bombs.

If you follow this concept and use various compounds to form a stable state and still detonate, under a unique temperature and pressure environment, various compounds will react violently to form some metals or metal burning substances. In a short period of time, huge energy will be exploded, a series of oxidation reactions will be produced, energy will be released, and oxygen will be consumed greatly to form a local vacuum. This is the main manifestation of the temperature-pressure bomb.

After Yang Yuanzhao figured out some basic concepts of temperature-pressure bombs, he especially discussed step by step with some experts in chemical and materials to determine the general area. In the information of later generations, he also used this as the research direction for aluminum thermal agents. On the one hand, China has studied the aluminum industry to a considerable extent. Under the premise of substantial power guarantee, the cost of aluminum manufacturing is getting lower and lower. Compared with other potassium lithium, it is unknown how much lower the cost.

When aluminum burns, the energy released is higher than that of petroleum, but it is not easy to meet the combustion conditions. Yang Yuanzhao is also a science and engineering subject. He once tried aluminum thermal agents in a chemistry experiment. After careful recollection, it seemed that it was a compound of aluminum powder and iron to be mixed together and used an ignition agent to ignite.

Sometimes, a little bit of improvement can promote the rapid development of the entire project. China's research on materials science and materials laboratory have everything. It quickly found all the iron oxides and then mixed them according to a certain ratio. When iron trioxide is found, at a certain temperature, the aluminum thermal agent and iron trioxide react violently, emitting dazzling light, and even the iron cans loaded with them completely melted.

Such a violent reaction moved everyone. It is not difficult to achieve a huge impact force of explosives. Just increase the amount of explosives, but no matter how much the amount of explosives increases, it is only the power itself, temperature and other indicators are difficult to increase.

Everyone knows that explosion itself is an oxidation effect. Under normal temperature and pressure, the oxidation reaction is slow, and only a small number of strong oxidants will be severe. This is also the fundamental reason why explosives are difficult to find. However, if the temperature rises significantly, and it will increase to 1500 degrees or even above 2000 degrees, using this as an environment, the materials that can be added will increase and the power will also increase significantly.
