Chapter VI Other Items

Everyone was impressed by this wild creativity and began to imagine the scene that the head of state just now. Lieutenant Colonel Darges firmly recorded the words "saturation attack". Recently, the head of state always inadvertently revealed many new words. When he first heard it, he felt unfamiliar and surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt very convincing and generalized, which shows that the head of state not only stood high and looked far, but also had innovation and insight that ordinary people could not achieve. △As an ambitious adjutant, he was determined to record and spread the head of state's thoughts. He believed that Minister Goebbels would definitely look at him with admiration.

The spy storm was resolved while chatting and laughing. This special encounter, coupled with the characteristics of the V1 rocket, basically determined that it was impossible to produce in large quantities. At least in Germany, Hoffman decided to throw this burden to the crazy Japanese. On the one hand, it could cause trouble for the Americans, and on the other hand, it could also exchange some real money and silver from Japan. Not to mention anything else, it would be good for Japan to use submarines to transport tungsten, tin, rubber and other materials.

After reading the two experimental projects, the next project introduction is only theoretical introduction and static model display. Even if there are real objects to operate, Dornberg, who had just escaped, dared not show it out again.

"Please look at the head of state, this is a model of the Feuerlilie rocket project."

Dornberg led everyone to the third project test base. "At first it was a project used by the Imperial Aviation Department (RLM) to study high-speed flights. After receiving the mission to develop an air defense rocket, the main leaders of the project, Dr. Braun and Dr. Busemann, unanimously decided to design it according to the air defense rocket. Currently, it has two design models, namely f25 and f55 (numerical code represents the diameter of the bullet body represented in centimeters).

Braun explained: "Although I share a code name, the two are actually different products. The f25 uses a solid diethylene glycol ether rocket engine, working for 6 seconds, with an estimated thrust of 500 kg. We designed it as a transonic rocket that can be launched from both an inclined launcher and an aircraft. Judging from my calculations, it has a big shortcoming for air defense missions. Its top speed is about 950 km/h, but its shooting height is only 3,000 meters - which is much lower than the conventional raid altitude of most bombers."

The f25 was originally just a sounding rocket. Its research and development purpose was to collect aerodynamic data in the transonic zone and to seek funding and project support from the Ministry of Arms to get funding and project support. However, Braun's movement was not slow, not only made models, but also reserved positions for the warhead and fuse. The static model that appeared in Hoffman's eyes was a slender cylindrical body, 2 meters long and was expected to weigh 120 kilograms. The swept-shaped wing was located in the middle of the body, with small wings at the wing tip, and horizontal wings were installed on the single-piece tail wing. The rudder surface above was responsible for controlling the rocket's flight attitude.

The model of the f55 looks much thicker. It is 4.8 meters long and has both similar and different shapes from the f25 - the tailless shape, the wings are placed at the end and the wing tips are also winglets. According to Boozerman's design, it is a supersonic rocket, using a liquid fuel rocket, designed to shoot at a height of 5,000 meters and a maximum speed of about 1,400 kilometers per hour.

"It is worth mentioning that the rocket engine of the f55 was designed by Dr. Conrad, who also designed the engine for the two rockets of the reintochter. The thrust can reach about 6.5 tons, but the working time is a little short, only 7 seconds. This is why the rocket's shooting has been unsatisfactory." Braun knew that both the f25 and the f55 had the obvious defect of insufficient shooting in air defense missions. Finally, he specially praised the opponent, "The development progress of the two models designed by Dr. Conrad is faster than ours, and the indicators are more mature."

Hoffman knew Conrad's name. If he hadn't died in an air raid in history, the Third Reich's research and development work in this field would have been even greater, so he shook hands with the other party enthusiastically. Conrad was obviously grateful for Braun's recommendation, so he explained with a smile: "Dr. Braun mainly focused on the A-4 rocket. He studied Fire Lily just to do it for the project support. The 'Rhine Daughter' was developed by Rhine Metal Company in accordance with air defense standards from the beginning, so the progress was faster. It also has two models, r1 and r3, among which R1 is a two-stage solid fuel, and r3 is a liquid fuel reinforcement booster."

Following his introduction, everyone inspected the model of "Rhine's Daughter". This rocket with wings like a petal looks much more elegant. There are four tail wings at the bottom of the bullet body, six stable wings in the middle, and four control wings at the head. The total length is 5.74 meters and the maximum shooting height is 6,000 meters. It is controlled by radio commands. The wing tip is equipped with a light emitting device to facilitate the operator's visual remote control.

At the end of the visit, in addition to the model works, Hoffman and others also listened to some projects that have not yet been finalized or still existed on the drawings, such as the HS117 ground-to-air rocket (internal code-named "Butterfly") designed by Dr. Wagner. This is also a two-stage engine rocket. The primary boosting system uses solid fuel. The thrust of 1,750 kg allows the rocket to reach a speed of 1,100 kilometers per hour in four seconds. The secondary main pushing system uses liquid fuel. The engine is still considering the use of BMW BMW109-558 or walter109-729 models. The total design length is 4.3 meters, the weight is 420 kg, and the ceiling is 11,000 meters, but the warhead is only 25 kg.

For example, the anti-radiation (radar) gliding bomb designed by Dr. Richard Vogt (Japan vogt) to deal with the anti-radiation (radar) gliding bomb of British radar stations is designed by BV246, with the internal code name "Hail". This bomb has a very simple appearance, a cigar-shaped fuselage, slender wings and a normal layout of tail. In the design, the two long main wings are cast from reinforced concrete. The purpose is to use the high weight to ensure that the bomb and the carrier are separated cleanly and neatly, avoid mutual interference and dangers. The flight process is intended to be controlled by radio commands, with the maximum strike distance of 150 kilometers away, which is the same idea that the successful HS293 anti-ship gliding bomb is nothing more than a difference between the seeker and the fuze.

For example, the "Waterfall" air defense rocket developed by Dr. Walter Thiel on the basis of the A-4 rocket has a size and flight time of less than A-4, but the maximum shooting height can exceed 15,000 meters. According to Dr. Thiel's development ideas, when the rocket is slow in the early stage of launch, the ground manipulator is visually controlled by the ground manipulator, and the general direction is controlled by adjusting the four graphite gas rudders of the tail nozzle; the middle section of the flight uses two ground radars to illuminate the target and the rocket, and then use a computer to solve the azimuth difference and issue radio commands to make the rocket fly along the target to illuminate the radar beam; the end section of the flight uses a radio near-fighting fuze and infrared guide head to control the rocket to fly.

In addition to these relatively formed projects, there are also some preparatory projects reported by researchers, including the BV143 air-to-ship rocket, which is a sea version similar to V1. Under the bullet body, a touch arm is used to ensure that the rocket always flies at an altitude 2 meters away from the sea. For example, the HS298 rocket is an air-to-air model based on "butterfly". It is planned to use radio command control, and also consider developing a line-control model, which also uses a 25-kilogram warhead.

Hoffman found that these projects were very comprehensive, including surface-to-air, air-to-ground, air-to-air, air-to-air, air-to-ship, ground-to-ground, anti-radiation, anti-tank and other types of rockets in the development process, covering almost all types that appeared in later generations, with varying progress, some are basically close to completion, some are still in the experimental and demonstration stage, and some are simply products of design drawings. But no matter what design and invention are, they are leading or even unique around the world, and he is proud of it.

It is precisely based on this exploration and achievements that in real history, the United States and the Soviet Union have established a huge missile library in dividing the heritage of the Third Reich and developed a considerable satellite and space industry. In order to win this war and continue to occupy the world's leading scientific and technological points, he was determined to tell these scientists about all the knowledge he learned about missiles. Although his research ability is not as good as any of them, when it comes to sorting out the missile system and describing the future development, he is the authority of this world.

Dornberg, who knew what the Chief of State was going to do, immediately found a large conference room and quickly arranged a microphone and blackboard for Hoffman in accordance with academic exchanges. Looking at the darkness of the scientific research elites of the Third Reich below, Hoffman took out his posture at the technical demonstration meeting of the Army Weapons Bureau and began to explain.
