Chapter 394: Developing a grenade

Chen Dongshan listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and he hurriedly said that he would help Zhang Lianying design a new type of grenade together.

"Okay, then I'll leave this task to the two of you, after the design is completed, show me first, if you think it's okay, then produce some first, test it, and see how powerful this grenade is. ”

"Rest assured, we'll be able to design it soon. Zhang Lianying also nodded in agreement.

After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he returned to his office.

"Hmph, these two old guys, don't give them a lot of power, they don't know the rules. It's really boring, putting on a show or not, you have to let people lead the nose. ”

Thinking about Chen Dongshan and Zhang Lianying, Zhao Zhongyao felt a little annoyed.

But he also knows that he is a factory director, and this kind of thing is the time to test his leadership ability, if he feels that being a factory director is very annoying because of this little thing, then he doesn't have to be an 'official'.

Besides, Chen Dongshan and Zhang Lianying saw that Zhao Zhongyao was gone, and the two began to talk again.

"Lao Chen, what's the matter, will we let Zhao Zhongyao lead the bull's nose in the future, and we have to listen to him for everything. ”

Don't look at the cleaning just now, the two old guys pretended to be the same as their grandsons in front of Zhao Zhongyao. In fact, they were still unconvinced, but they knew that if they were to go against Zhao Zhongyao now, it would definitely not be good for them.

Anyway, now Zhao Zhongyao is their leader, and they must listen to the words of the director of the base, which is what Director Liu meant. If the two of them were to act against Zhao Zhongyao, it would be a clear violation of the rules of the base, and Zhao Zhongyao could naturally punish them.

The two old guys are also about to retire. At this time, if you get a punishment, it will have a great impact on your future life, so the two of them have to be people with their tails between them.

But the hatred for Zhao Zhongyao in their hearts has increased unabated, and they have already regarded Zhao Zhongyao as their enemy. It's just that you can't come out clearly.

When Zhao Zhongyao gave the two of them the task just now, the two of them also looked respectful and obedient, but as soon as Zhao Zhongyao left. The two of them were revealed again.

"The eldest husband can bend and stretch, and we will endure it for a while now, in order to bring Zhao Zhongyao down in the future. Chen Dongshan is naturally the same, how could he be willing to become Zhao Zhongyao's pawn. The actions during the day are all pretentious.

"Lao Chen, I see that you are talking big again, what ability do you have to bring down Zhao Zhongyao, who is the leader of the base. Although you and I are experts in the final assembly, but in this deep ravine, aren't they 'tigers falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs'!"

Although Zhang Lianying is also angry, he feels that he has no way to bring down Zhao Zhongyao, and he does not have a strong backstage, although there is a leader of the general assembly to speak, but he has no relatives with others, and the relationship is not particularly good.

Just like Director Liu was a friend before, but now that no one speaks for them, what else can he do to confront Zhao Zhongyao.

They are well aware. Zhao Zhongyao is now a celebrity in the military industry, although the two of them are very famous, they are already 'expired' stars. Although it is still famous, it is not popular. Even the leaders don't 'like' them anymore.

"Lao Zhang, why are you so pessimistic! What is Zhao Zhongyao, is it not as good as his two old experts? Chen Dongshan still doesn't seem to take Zhao Zhongyao seriously. I don't think this kid is anything remarkable.

"Lao Chen, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that no one likes our two old experts at all, why don't you realize that the entire military industry seems to be developing towards a younger age. Only young military-industrial talents. will be valued by the superiors, like us old experts, it is already in the past, and no one is paying attention to us anymore. ”

For the matter of the modernization and reform of the country. Zhang Lianying is also very clear. He knew that the whole of China was undergoing modernization, and the same was true for the army. Hyundai construction is also underway. The same is true of the military industrial circles in the armed forces, which are also in the midst of the great tide of military reform as a whole.

The most important step in the modernization of the Chinese ** team is to make the contingent of cadres younger.

This contingent of cadres is not only active officers in the regular army, but also includes some professional and technical personnel in the military industry. All these high-ranking talents and military commanders. It is necessary to develop in the direction of younger and more knowledgeable.

And Zhao Zhongyao is undoubtedly a typical representative of this tide of reform, he has the identity of a university professor, the identity of a military industry expert, and he is also a young man who is only 26 years old, such a talent, in the whole of China, it is difficult to find a second one.

Therefore, now the military industry in China naturally attaches great importance to 'young talents' like Zhao Zhongyao.

Even this time, Zhao Zhongyao was appointed as the director of the 'Jianghai Machinery Factory', which was the result of careful consideration by the leaders of the General Armament Department.

As for the veteran comrades in the military industrial circles, the higher-level leaders are embarrassed to let them retire directly ahead of schedule, and they can only mobilize them as much as possible to adapt them to the needs of this great tide of reform.

If these old guys still have a young ambition and the determination to do another career, then continue to keep them, but if they feel that they are old and useless, and want to leave the opportunity to the young people, then let them take the initiative to propose early retirement.

Chen Dongshan and Zhang Lianying are representatives of this group of veteran military workers. The leaders of the general armament transferred them to this newly established military industrial base in order to test them. Let's see if they are 'old men and ambitions'. If they want to do another career, or if they are really old and don't want to make any more achievements, then it is better for them to propose early retirement.

In fact, whether a person is a talent or not has little to do with age. Young people are not necessarily talented, and older people are not necessarily talented. Although the reform requires the cadres to be younger, if an old expert is indeed very capable, a pillar of the state, and the mainstay of a unit, then the relevant state departments are reluctant to let him retire early.

It can be said that the country of China in this parallel world where Zhao Zhongyao was reborn is undergoing a profound technological and institutional change. In such a big wave of movement, only real people can survive, and those duckweed and bubbles that have no real talent can only go away with the tide and the big wave of reform.

And the one who can really see this qiē. I'm afraid it's not much. Zhao Zhongyao may be counted as one. And Zhang Lianying and Chen Dongshan, the two old guys, couldn't understand this qiē. I still complained in my heart that the leaders didn't care about them, transferred them to this place where birds don't, and let them be 'bullied' by a young man!

"Is this all normal! Whoever told us to be old. If it's useless, it's naturally not popular. What do you still want, do you want to be more likable when you are old? ”

"Then let's just swallow our anger and let Zhao Zhongyao breathe and drink. "What's wrong with Zhang Lianying, I can't swallow this breath in my heart.

"That's it for now! If there is any chance, we will find a way to rectify Zhao Zhongyao. Chen Dongshan himself didn't know how to deal with Zhao Zhongyao, but he felt that as long as he wanted to deal with someone, there would always be some opportunities for him to grasp it.

"Lao Chen, I feel that this time the development of grenades is an opportunity. ”

Zhang Lianying is an expert in the development of hand grenades, and he feels that he will definitely be better than Zhao Zhongyao in this regard. As long as he is stronger than him, then Zhao Zhongyao has no say in the development of grenades.

"What do you say? What time do we have to develop a grenade. Chen Dongshan didn't quite understand what Zhang Lianying meant.

Zhang Lianying walked up to Chen Dongshan and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old Chen, you think, although Zhao Zhongyao is an expert in missile research, he may not necessarily develop grenades. Don't look at the grenade as just a small weapon, but small arms also contain big technology. Zhao Zhongyao is definitely inferior to us in this regard, and in this case, when we develop grenades, Zhao Zhongyao will have to listen to us. Isn't he going to have to do what we want him to do!"

Heard Zhang Lianying say this. Chen Dongshan also seemed to feel something.

"Well, it makes sense, in this way, when we were developing the grenade, we deliberately embarrassed Zhao Zhongyao. Let's just say that we need all kinds of materials to develop grenades, and then ask him to help us get these materials, which is enough for him Zhao Zhongyao to be busy. ”

Chen Dongshan understood what Zhang Lianying meant, and he also echoed it.

"Okay, that's all. Let's design the drawings first, and then we can embarrass Zhao Zhongyao. After muttering for a while, the two began to design grenade drawings on their desks.

In fact, the grenades they designed before were the most general grenades, just because the grenades in this world were not advanced at all, so the two of them felt that the grenades they designed were already very advanced.

The two discussed as they designed what they thought was the most advanced grenade. In fact, it is a kind of iron grenade with a delayed fuse. It's just that the grenade designed by both of them is a little more improved than the original. The index fuze was changed to a ring fuse. This makes the throwing soldier safer and more reliable when using it.

Of course, the main factor that determines the explosive power of a grenade is the layer of iron that includes the explosives. What material is this layer of iron sheet made of, the explosion effect is different. Ordinary grenades made of iron sheets, after exploding, will only form a few fragments, while grenades made of some special materials will form a large number of fragments after exploding.

At this point, Zhang Lianying and Chen Dongshan didn't think of it at all. They just worked the hardness of the iron sheet of the grenade, and just wanted to use some relatively hard steel to make the iron sheet of the grenade.

This time, the two of them designed a grenade made of a very hard alloy steel. In fact, the two of them don't know this kind of steel, and they haven't seen it. It's just that such a material was randomly designed at the time of design. In this way, fortunately, after the design was successful, Zhao Zhongyao was given a difficult problem.

And the direction of the development of the real grenade is not at all what Zhang Lianying and Chen Dongshan imagined. The goal of modern grenades is to constantly increase the number of grenade fragments. The number of fragments exploded by this grenade will determine the lethal power of the grenade.

The main measures for developing grenades and improving the lethality of grenades in modern society are: 1. The quality of fragments tends to be miniaturized. The analysis of the injury effect of fragments shows that under the premise of the same energy level, the injury effect of high-speed small fragments is much better than that of low-speed large fragments. Therefore, the mass of fragmentation of various anti-personnel grenades in development is mostly between 0.15~0.2g. 2. The number of fragments tends to be more quantitative. The number of effective fragments determines the density of fragments per unit area, which directly affects the probability of hitting. Increasing the number of effective fragments as much as possible under the premise of a certain bullet mass is an important basic principle in grenade design. 3. The shape of the fragments tends to be polygonal. Compared with spherical fragments, the multi-angular flat fragments have a much stricter injury process than spherical fragments due to the fast attenuation of velocity and high energy transfer efficiency in the tissue. 4. The speed of fragmentation tends to be high-speed. The magnitude of the fragmentation velocity determines the strength of the pressure wave and the size of the instantaneous cavity, which ultimately shows the injurious process of biological tissue. The test results show that when the mass of the fragment is 0.1~0.2g and the velocity is 1500~1800m/s, it can cause a more effective injury effect.

In order to ensure that the grenade achieves the best effect as expected, it is necessary to change the material and improve the processing technology to make it possible to control it artificially. For example, fully prefabricated or semi-prefabricated fragments are used to control the number and shape of fragments, the matching relationship between the charge and the projectile body is adjusted to ensure the fragmentation speed, the shape of the projectile body is improved to control the fragmentation velocity, and plastic or other non-metallic materials are used to reduce the mass of the whole projectile.

Zhang Lianying and Chen Dongshan naturally did not know the level of modern technology for the development of grenades, and the level of development of the two of them was similar to that of the World War II period in the era before Zhao Zhongyao's death, but they were at the initial level of developing grenades. A very advanced grenade was not developed at all.

Although Zhao Zhongyao was not an expert in grenade development during his lifetime, what did he say, when he was in that world, he was also a military fan. He has been exposed to many kinds of military weapons, whether it is large weapons or small guns and grenade weapons, he has some research. He also had a general understanding of the principle of the explosion of the grenade and the materials needed for its development. From this point of view, he has already surpassed Chen Dongshan and Zhang Lianying. (To be continued.) )
