I'm sorry, I admit there are still many issues with this bomb. In fact, I have been repairing it since a few months with little effect, which is why the model of this bomb has been improved to "P". Although the main problems have been basically solved, there are still some minor issues. I'm really sorry! Hope someone can provide help! Now let's start the main text section:
In 155, as the Skira Republic and the Kisaa Federation approached the brink of war, the neighboring Kingdom of Roya was forced into this vortex. Due to various objective and subjective reasons, the Kingdom of Roya joined the Skira Republic's camp and officially embarked on the "thief ship". Although the war crisis has been lifted, both the king and ministers understand that in order for the kingdom to survive, it must enhance its own strength and join the internal competition environment. And it took the northern countries several decades to awaken to this consciousness.
Starting from 156 AD, the Kingdom of Roya embarked on a major military development by sending flying cadets and technicians to the Republic of Skira for further education, striving to develop an independent air force. However, it was only when they really started organizing the data that they realized that the Kingdom Air Force was really weak, not only with low aircraft performance, but also without good weapons. Although the king was mentally prepared, his heart tightened when he heard the actual situation. What kind of war are you fighting with all these equipment? Do you really rely on a pilot's loyalty to go to dog fights? Defending the capital is probably impossible. So after internal discussions with his ministers, he decided to use that trick - help me, Republic!
So they launched a series of collaborations with the republic. In addition to aircraft development, they attach great importance to weapon research. The development of a new aircraft requires a certain period of time, but weapons are not. Even old aircraft can use weapons. As the saying goes, if an airplane is twice as strong, its combat power will be twice as strong; The weapon is twice as strong, and the combat power is ten times stronger. So the head of the kingdom approached the republic, hoping to purchase new weapons. Guess what? The Republic directly handed over a project that was halfway completed to them.
For the republic, the new weapons that the kingdom wants are mostly newly developed and are its most advanced products. If this high-quality product is sold outside, it would be terrible if it gets into the hands of the federal government. But the kingdom cannot refuse such a request, after all, it still needs him to act as an ally. Just as the top officials of the Republic were feeling a headache about it, they suddenly thought - I have a phased out bomb project. The SY bomb, the Republic's deceleration bomb program, was developed simultaneously with the KD-2 guided bomb, but was eventually phased out due to too many problems. Although I didn't do it well myself, you should be able to do it, right? And the kingdom has always advocated self-reliance and self-improvement. I might as well give you the technology directly, and it's up to you how you handle it next.
Originally, the kingdom was quite happy to receive this news and just picked up a weapon technology for nothing, but when it received the SY-1E sent by the republic as a test sample, its face pulled down. What kind of thing? Why does this thing still spin? Why is this thing spreading so widely? The testers finally understood why the Republic directly gave the technology to them, which was a complete mess. After the news reached the palace, everyone was speechless for a moment. On the one hand, the collaborative development of the F3UF fighter jet was progressing smoothly. Can't we blame the republic at this time? But... what kind of thing is this? The ministers below were discussing and couldn't come up with a decision. At this moment, after careful consideration, His Royal Highness made up his mind to improve this technology.
A king is not an idea that comes to mind at once. Firstly, the Republic should not cooperate in the field of weapons. The Kingdom itself has relatively little research on guided weapons, and improving this speed bomb is the best choice before the dispatched researchers return to China. Secondly, speed bombs are beneficial for fighter jets to drop bombs at low altitudes, making them suitable for the combat tactics of the Royal Air Force. The only concern is actually how much money needs to be invested to improve. Even a wrong decision is better than not making one, and only by tossing a coin can one know the pros and cons. After some comments, most ministers were convinced.
It is not an easy task for a kingdom to strengthen itself. When researchers first started this project, they realized the seriousness of the situation and found it difficult to pinpoint where the problem lay. It can be said that this is a huge challenge for the entire kingdom's research institute. But there is no reason to stop here and promote loyalty to the kingdom. We must not disappoint the king and the people of the kingdom! "F", "K", "L", as the models increase, all researchers have put in tremendous effort for this. Most people can only rest late, and the chief scientist sleeps directly in the research institute.
Their efforts have not been in vain. With the return of the first batch of overseas graduates, SY-1N was completed in 159. This model solves most of the problems, including the problem of projectile rotation and unreliable structure of the deceleration brake. However, regarding the issue of bomb dispersal, apart from minor deviation corrections caused by accidental collisions, the problem has not been resolved. This leads to a multiple decrease in bomb hit rate when the altitude is too high. Most researchers and ministers feel that this is enough, and it can now be put into use, even the king is gradually developing this trend. In addition to research funding, a lot of money was also spent on testing the large number of sample bombs manufactured, and after the development of F3UF, mass production also requires funding, so it is impossible to invest more money. But there are still some people who insist on improvement, trying to do something at the last minute.
That night, the chief scientist collapsed on a chair, with a large amount of material covering the table in front of him. She initially suspected that the wings used for stability were not large enough, but it was confirmed that this was not the reason. She pondered deeply, feeling restless, and looked at the unfinished new blueprint. With a single thought, she directly deleted the wings. Originally, this was not a big deal, but in order to end the project as soon as possible, the palace directly announced the final round of testing and manufactured the template according to this blueprint. The result surprised everyone - the problem was solved.
What??? Watching the bullet pit exploding in a straight line in front of them, the crowd who had no hope immediately shrouded in confusion. After years of fixing the problem, you went crazy at night and solved it? The dramatic fact shook everyone, and the key point was that the flapping wings were already added by the Republic. Everyone thought it was not a problem, but unexpectedly, this was the cause of the problem. Later, the Kingdom Research Institute wrote a review letter specifically for this matter, but that was not important. What was important was that the Royal Kingdom successfully solved the problem that the Republic had not yet solved, and formed the final model - SY-1P.
In 160 AD, the kingdom commended all the personnel of the research institute and awarded medals to the main scientists. After discussions within the palace, the kingdom decided to serve both the "N" and "P" types simultaneously, as the former, although widely dispersed, also resulted in a large bombing range and a wide range of casualties. This can also be considered an unexpected scientific discovery. After equipping the air force, although the pilots of the kingdom were not able to adapt to this weapon at first, later on, they all praised this new bomb, after all, it effectively improved the safety during low altitude bombing.
Interestingly, when the Republic later sold weapons to the kingdom, it also valued this abandoned bomb. They purchased over 100 SY-1Ps, and when the person in charge learned about the kingdom's development process of this weapon, they let out a long sigh and showed even greater respect to the kingdom of Roya.
Why there are significant differences in the relationship between the kingdom and the republic, as well as between the federation and the northern countries, largely depends on the independent and self reliant nature of the Kingdom of Roya. SY-1, as a weapon with strong Kingdom characteristics, not only became a landmark weapon of the Kingdom Air Force in the future, playing a significant role in subsequent wars, but also trained the personnel of the Kingdom Research Institute, greatly improving their quality and ability, laying a foundation for future development.
Loyalty! Throw His Majesty's ruling at the enemy!
