Chapter 840: 777 New Chapter_2 Chapter 840: 777 New Chapter_2 “In other words, if we aim for the very center of the Dahua Empire’s capital, there’s a high probability that this missile would land within the city of the Dahua Empire’s capital.”
When such abysmal attack accuracy was laid out in front of Tang Mo, he even considered canceling this unreliable attack plan.
In his recollection, the attack accuracy of the DF-3 missile was roughly between 1 and 2 kiloters, hitting a city-sized target was still pretty easy.
Anyway, he didn’t want to kill Zhao Kai outright, so he didn’t see a problem with the attack accuracy being between 1 and 2 kiloters, even without a nuclear warhead.
But the attack accuracy calculation results provided by his scientists, engineers, and technicians were an absurd “ten kiloters” that left him not knowing whether to laugh or cry!
Such accuracy ant that even if the target was a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands or millions, it could still miss its mark…
Tang Mo thought of that man with a tuft of Little Mustache between his lip and nostril, and he felt that his missile plan was nothing compared to Germany Three’s V2 rocket festivity.
...
In World War II, more than 18,000 V-type missiles were launched by Germany Three, achieving the “glorious” success of killing over 30,000 people… It was beyond painful to watch, the sheer genius of killing a hundred enemies at the cost of three thousand of oneself.
Tang Mo felt that if he were to employ the DF missiles currently being developed to attack the Dahua capital, he would be no different from Mister Adolf.
However, in the recent days, the plan he had abandoned was seeing a glimr of hope again: previously Tang Mo wasn’t prepared to use this secret weapon in the war against the Dahua Empire, but now Tang Mo planned to use it to scare Zhao Kai and push for a swift end to this war.
Plainly put, it was just a bluff, to make Zhao Kai feel the pressure of an attack on the capital, and decisively push him to surrender and seek peace.
A large-scale launch was definitely unaffordable, but launching one or two wouldn’t pose any problem. Hence, Tang Mo began exploring every possible way to help his engineers improve the missile’s attack accuracy.
Regrettably, the manual missile creation thod in the lab could barely produce technologically updated missiles, but couldn’t guarantee their quality.
The previous prototype units, pure copies of V2, practically provided no useful experintal data for Tang Mo’s engineering team.
So missiles crashed after flying more than a hundred kiloters, others had a staggering attack deviation of ten kiloters; it was terrible to witness.
These data were almost random; occasionally, a missile would et the design requirents perfectly, executing orders impeccably, and landing near the targeted area.
Yet, experintals that were identical in every way could also appear with a five-kiloter error, completely missing the target!
Keep in mind, this was just a trial model with a range of only 300 kiloters, but the missiles intended to be fired into Dahua Empire territory had a range of a whopping 1700 kiloters!
No one could guarantee that a combat-type missile could carry 1500 kilograms of explosives to fly 1700 kiloters and precisely land on the roof of so unlucky individual in the Dahua Imperial Capital.
Therefore, to be cautious, engineers and technicians from the Great Tang Group split into two completely different teams, producing two identical DF-3 missiles in the factories of Tongcheng and Nanye.
As for why the first combat-ready missile was nad DF-3, that was due to the King’s bizarre weapon naming convention. Everyone was accustod to those strange and baseless weapon nas.
So the world’s first ballistic missile to be ready for combat wasn’t called West Wind or South Wind, nor North Wind—it was oddly nad East Wind, starting straight off with the third generation…
“The next round of testing is for the second generation, the DF-2, with a range of 1000 kiloters, and we will conduct three trials. If the experintal data prove our inertial guidance system is reliable, we might consider continuing to the next steps…” The two of them talked as they walked towards a massive missile body covered by a tarpaulin.
“I really can’t believe it. If soone told ten years ago that we’d have sothing like this, I might have laughed and said they were crazy,” murmured an engineer who was involved in the developnt of such cutting-edge technology as he touched the canvas covering the missile.
This might be the first ti in the world that we have the ans to attack targets over a thousand kiloters away. With such weapons, the Imperial City, over a thousand kiloters away from the border, would no longer be safe.
And at this very mont, the original inhabitants of this world still didn’t know that, in Tang Mo’s mind, the ultimate form of this weapon was actually ant to be used in conjunction with a brand new super weapon.
Once the two combined, they could open a new chapter.
“Isn’t that the truth? Even as I stand here looking at this big fellow right in front of , I can hardly believe it could fly 1700 kiloters and hit a target in the Dahua Imperial Capital,” another engineer exclaid excitedly.
…
The cold sea water slapped against the deck as a U-type submarine bobbed up and down in the churning waves.
Leaning against the frost-covered railing, the submarine’s captain peered through his binoculars, ticulously searching for any potential targets on the sea surface.
“Captain! I think we’ve been had! There’s no way there are any enemy warships in this godforsaken place!” a sailor on the submarine, wearing a thick woolen coat, shouted to the captain beside him over the noise of the waves.
