Chapter 238: Anti-Tank Missiles (5)
Zhao Zhongyao explained to Yan Mingcheng what the main value of anti-tank missiles is. When Yan Mingcheng heard this, he asked again: "How did the warhead of the anti-tank missile penetrate the armor of the tank?"
"Is this more complicated! Let's conduct the test first, and I'll tell you later!" Zhao Zhongyao saw that he might not be able to understand the working principle of the antitank missile just by telling Yan Mingcheng! It was still easy for him to understand the truth after he watched the test!
"Okay, let's go to the shooting range then!"
Yan Mingcheng was also a little anxious, and he wanted to see how powerful the anti-tank missile was!
As the two spoke, they came to a small shooting range on the west side of the factory.
In one corner of this shooting range, there are some discarded steel plates, which are the scraps used to make the Terrant tank, all piled up here, and they have not been disposed of yet!
Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng came to the office that managed the shooting range first.
First met with Lao Hu, the administrator of the shooting range.
He told Lao Hu his intention, and of course Lao Hu immediately agreed. He just looked at the ordinary managers in charge of the shooting range, and of course he was very polite in front of Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng.
After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's explanation, Lao Hu hurriedly put a thick steel plate on the slope of the opposite side of the shooting range with Zhao Zhongyao.
Then, Zhao Zhongyao came to the target platform for gun shooting, and he asked Yan Mingcheng to set up the anti-tank missile on a target platform.
After everything was ready, Zhao Zhongyao let Yan Mingcheng and Lao Hu stand behind him, and he was about to start the test firing.
But as soon as he was about to shoot, he suddenly listened again.
"Zhongyao, what's the matter, why don't you hurry up and shoot!"
Yan Mingcheng looked at Zhao Zhongyao and suddenly stopped again. He asked curiously.
"No, the steel plate is placed too bottom, so I need to put some more!"
Zhao Zhongyao said, and went to move the steel plate!
Yan Mingcheng and Lao Hu listened, and they didn't ask anything, so they hurriedly followed behind Zhao Zhongyao. Also came to the front of the steel plate.
"This place is a shade tree, and the sun doesn't get it, so we have to put the steel plate under the sun!"
After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he began to move the steel plate. Although Yan Mingcheng and Lao Hu were very strange, they didn't ask anything for the time being, but helped Zhao Zhongyao to lift the steel plate up a distance, so that the discarded copper plate weighing more than 100 catties was put under the sun.
After everything was ready, Zhao Zhongyao returned to the target platform. Once again, he picked up the launch remote control of the anti-tank missile and began to shoot at the steel plate.
When Zhao Zhongyao confidently pressed the button on the remote control, the anti-tank missile flew towards the steel plate like a stout arrow.
And behind the tail of the missile's flight, there is a long, thin wire. Shining silver in the sun.
"Ah, what kind of novel weapon is this! It's so strange! Why is there still a wire connected to it!" Yan Mingcheng and Lao Hu are both from military backgrounds. The two of them felt very strange when they saw that after the anti-tank missile flew out, there was still a wire attached to it. It's a weapon they've never seen in their lives!
"Bang!" Just when Yan Mingcheng and Lao Hu still felt that the wire was a little strange, they heard a bang. The missile had already hit the steel plate, the warhead exploded on the steel plate, and a cloud of smoke enveloped the entire steel plate.
Yan Mingcheng and Lao Hu just wanted to ask Zhao Zhongyao about the wire! But as soon as they heard this movement, they forgot the question they wanted to ask for the time being, and just looked at the steel plate in the direction of the target in a daze!
About two minutes later. The smoke on the steel plate slowly dissipated.
"Let's go, let's go see the results of the test!" Zhao Zhongyao said, and walked towards the target first. Yan Mingcheng and Lao Hu followed behind Zhao Zhongyao and walked halfway up the hill together.
When they get to the target. Yan Mingcheng and Lao Hu's eyes widened in surprise. "Oh my God! How can this little anti-tank missile be so powerful! How can it penetrate a steel plate of more than 100 centimeters!"
Lao Hu looked at it and saw that there was a big hole in the middle of the steel plate in front of him, which was clearly left by the warhead of the anti-missile missile when it passed through it.
He was now looking at the object in front of him in astonishment, and for a moment, he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Yes! How can this small anti-tank missile be so powerful! It can actually penetrate the steel plate!"
Yan Mingcheng also looked at Zhao Zhongyao very strangely, for the power of the anti-tank missile, it was indeed beyond Yan Mingcheng's expectations!
Just now, Zhao Zhongyao said that he wanted to hit this steel plate. Yan Mingcheng also thought that Zhao Zhongyao just regarded this steel plate as a target, as long as it could hit it, he didn't dare to expect that this small missile could penetrate the target!
The results of the test made Yan Mingcheng and Lao Hu both surprised and had many questions.
"Director Zhao, what is the name of this weapon you have developed! How can it be so powerful! It can actually penetrate the copper plate!" Lao Hu hurriedly asked Zhao Zhongyao, he wanted to know what this weapon was called!
"It's called an anti-tank missile, and it's designed to deal with tanks and armored vehicles. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Lao Hu and said.
"Why, there are such advanced weapons! Today, I have seen it! Director Zhao is really a genius! You can develop any kind of weapon!" Lao Hu is a person who loves to pat on the back, and after listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, he began to put a high hat on him.
"Lao Hu, don't praise me, the missile I want to develop is not only capable of hitting tanks, but also a missile that can shoot down high-altitude reconnaissance planes! This antitank missile is just an experimental product that I have conducted in order to develop ground-to-air missiles!"
Zhao Zhongyao listened to Lao Hu's words, and he also said his next plan. I just want to tell Lao Hu that although this anti-tank missile is powerful, it is not the key weapon he developed this time!
"Ah, Director Zhao has more powerful weapons under development!" Old Hu heard Zhao Zhongyao's words, and he exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes! As you know, the enemy's high-altitude reconnaissance planes have been constantly harassing the airspace of our province recently! However, our antiaircraft guns have no choice but to sigh and sigh with joy!
Therefore, the higher-level leaders asked me to develop a weapon that can deal with high-altitude reconnaissance planes! If I think about it, I can only use this kind of guided bomb that can fly far away to deal with the enemy's high-altitude reconnaissance plane!
It's just that the ground-to-air guided artillery shell is a complex new weapon! I can't study it all at once!" )
