If a 300mm rocket launcher uses traditional charges, it can probably hold 150 kilograms of high explosives mixed with RDX and TNT.
If this part of the charge is completely replaced by a total nitrogen explosive, the explosion power will probably be increased to the equivalent of 12,750 kilograms of TNT.
More than twelve tons of TNT is enough to blow up several skyscrapers!
In addition, the 300mm rocket has an almost six to seven meter long rod.
Enough to be used as a heavy ground-penetrating bomb.
Generally speaking, the concrete thickness of a permanent underground command post at the division and brigade level will not exceed five meters.
These super bombs with the power of more than ten tons of TNT are enough to blow up the entire underground command post to an altitude of tens of meters! ——
In the northern desert, there are rolling hills.
A very special weapons test is underway.
"Xiao Zhang!"
"You always give me problems!"
"Last time it was a nuclear bomb testing site, and this time it's a super large testing site."
The old chief looked at Zhang Xingyang, who looked ordinary in front of him, but was actually a genius, and said with a smile.
"You can give me something new every time!"
Zhang Xingyang is also a little embarrassed. This part of the work actually has nothing to do with the old chief, but he bothers him every time.
"There is really nothing we can do this time."
"We can't handle such a large testing ground on our own."
The estimated range of the rocket may reach as far as 600 kilometers.
At such a long distance, anything could happen.
If during this process, the rocket's engine stops and it falls directly from the sky.
If you fall into no man's land, it's easy to say, but at most you will have to pay money.
If it falls into a residential area, it will be doomed. With the power of total nitrogen explosives, it can easily flatten half a block of buildings!
Moreover, at this time, most residential areas in China were still small buildings with not too high floors, and no high-grade concrete was used.
The super bomb with the power of 12 tons of TNT can easily push down half a block peacefully!
That's why Zhang Xingyang asked the old chief to find a testing ground that was long enough.
"How much high-nitrogen explosive was packed into the rocket you tested this time?"
After experiencing what happened last time, the old chief asked Zhang Xingyang this question seriously before the experiment.
Avoid the joke of saying it is a little bit, but actually it is like the Himalayas.
"One of the warheads has no charge inside, but is equipped with an inertial guidance system."
"The second shot used a mixed charge of RDX and high-nitrogen explosives, totaling 148 kilograms."
"The last shot is also the high-explosive charge we are going to try, all of which are high-nitrogen explosives."
Zhang Xingyang honestly told the old leader all the charges of the three rockets in this experiment.
"Your guidance technology is pretty good. I guess what kind of accuracy we can achieve this time."
The old chief knew very well how powerful the Rocket Research Institute was in guidance technology, so he asked jokingly.
"Our guidance technology is still very immature in terms of miniaturization."
“It would be pretty good if it can reach an accuracy of up to 100 meters.”
This is really not Zhang Xingyang's modesty, but that their guidance technology has not done much research on miniaturization. After all, the platforms they used before were all large platforms like space rockets.
"With the power of total nitrogen explosives, this accuracy should be enough, right?"
"150 kilograms of total nitrogen explosives are enough to destroy targets within a range of 500 meters."
However, the old chief didn't particularly care about the low accuracy.
Even if the error reaches 100 meters, the power of high-nitrogen explosives can still complete the attack on the target.
"Chief, the preparations for the weapons test are complete!"
At this time, a soldier wearing green camouflage uniform came over.
"Then let's start the testing work, Dean Zhang."
The old chief replied calmly. Then the leading work of the test was handed over to Zhang Xingyang.
The first to be tested were guided rockets without any charge.
Because of the importance of this experiment, three different rocket launch vehicles were used for the three rockets.
This is to prevent any accidents from affecting other rocket experiments.
The long rocket spit out orange flames on the rocket launcher, and then pierced the sky at extremely fast speeds.
Only a white line of clouds was left on the horizon.
Rocket launches are different from rocket launches because the rockets are too small to stuff communications equipment inside.
Therefore, during its flight, there was almost no way to observe it except flying a plane to chase it in the sky and running on the ground.
And because the thrust of the new solid fuel rocket engine has been greatly improved, the speed of the new 300mm rocket has reached Mach 7.6.
At this time, no aircraft in the country can keep up with such a high-speed object.
So after the rocket is launched, it can be regarded as disappearing from the entire world.
Even a large radar monitoring station on the ground would have difficulty detecting this object that is thirty centimeters thick and six or seven meters long.
Fortunately, Zhang Xingyang had already considered the issue of monitoring and arranged dozens of optical observation points along the rocket's flight path.
Judging from the cloud traces of the rocket's flight, whether its flight trajectory has deviated.
The results of each observation point were continuously reported to Zhang Xingyang.
It is gradually fitted into a curve in the computer, showing the flight trajectory of the rocket in the sky.
"Looking at this trend, the accuracy may be higher than what we previously estimated."
Just when Zhang Xingyang was mumbling to himself about the results of the data.
The rockets have accurately hit targets 450 kilometers away.
"The deviation between the impact point and the target point is less than 80 meters!" The correspondent responsible for communicating with the target point gave a result that made everyone happy.
This shows that the guidance technology of the Rocket Research Institute is still good.
"Continue to test the second rocket!"
Zhang Xingyang didn't give everyone much time to celebrate, but immediately started testing the second rocket.
Just like when the first rocket was launched, the second rocket still streaked across the sky at an extremely high speed.
Less than two minutes later, news of the target point came.
"The deviation between the impact point and the target point is about ninety meters."
"Because the rocket explosion is so powerful, the initial impact point cannot be accurately marked."
"The damage range of the rocket reaches three hundred meters!"
Even with only half of the high-nitrogen explosives used, the power of the rocket has far exceeded previous levels.
At this time, without Zhang Xingyang's prompting, everyone consciously started preparations for the test of the third rocket.
After nearly two minutes of nervous waiting.
An almost trembling voice came from the other end of the communication.
"The deviation between the impact point and the target point cannot be estimated!"
"What's the meaning?"
"The rocket is missing? Did it miss the target?"
Anxious Zhang Xingyang grabbed the intercom and asked quickly.
"no no!"
"The target point has completely disappeared!"
"The rocket completely flattened the entire hill, which was more than ten meters high!"
"Now the target point is completely covered in dust and you can't see anything clearly!"
