"You really don't care?" Xie Kai asked again.

Zheng Yucheng shook his head resolutely.

"Well, don't give you money when the time comes. Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng, "In the initial stage of research and development, their funds are definitely not enough." ”

"A budget of five million at most, no more. Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai, thinking that he had to rely on this kid to make money, so he simply generously gave a budget of 5 million.

"It doesn't take that much. They can't get a million by themselves, but Director Zheng, you can help get the information of 79 snipers back. Xie Kai thought for a while and said.

"It's easy to see how you perform in a moment, and if you behave well, it's easy to say. Zheng Yucheng said with a smile on his face. "You can't call me for nothing, can you?"

"Can you call me for nothing?" Xie Kai felt that being with the old guy would affect his mood.

After the two discussed, when they came back, He Chao and Zhao Bin looked at the two of them expectantly.

Xie Kai is young and easy to talk, but Zheng Yucheng is not so good.

The old guy has always been unhappy with their increasing spending.

It's no wonder that He Chao and Zhao Bin are in this matter, the Northwest Military Region's funds are tight, their training here can be fully guaranteed, all kinds of advanced equipment are given priority to prepare here, and training in other places can't keep up.

Military elites, technical backbones, stuffed their brains to this side.

Naturally, the cost of training went up.

"Okay, the equipment base will help you Zhang Luo. As for the rest, you can get it yourself, and when you get the funds, you will give a million first. Zheng Yucheng said to the two, "It's okay to bear more of our base, right?"

"No problem!"

"Absolutely not!"

The two originally thought that Zheng Yucheng would let them take out all the funds, after all, they still had to expand the training ground or something.

A million fees, what equipment can be obtained, they don't ask, and just leave.

The base won't pit them anyway.

There is no way to do it, the base subsidizes their fuel costs for millions a year, and all the troops in the country, and their side has the highest training intensity.

The most elite garrisons of the capital were not as intense as their training.

"Don't go. We borrowed a group of experts from the Armored Forces Research Institute, and they were very interested in developing more advanced self-propelled artillery. But how to start, you have to tell them, after all, you brought it up. Zheng Yucheng saw that Xie Kai was about to slip away, so he grabbed him.

Before the base fired artillery, Xie Kai proposed to engage in self-propelled artillery.

The mouth is full of contempt for the Type 70 122-mm self-propelled howitzer and the just-finalized Type 83 self-propelled grenade cannon.

Zheng Yucheng and others moved, back and forth, and in less than half a month, they borrowed a group of people from the Armored Forces Research Institute.

The people have arrived, Xie Kai is not going, how can they start?

Xie Kai could only follow Zheng Yucheng to the conference room.

"Director Zheng, who is this?" a fat cadre in his fifties frowned and looked at Xie Kai who was following Zheng Yucheng.

Xie Kai was also looking at him.

In China in the 80s, it was almost rare to see fat men in all units, especially technical experts and cadres in their forties and sixties.

Middle-aged women who are physically specific are a different story.

There's a fat man!

Especially this guy is not a little fat.

"The project of self-propelled guns at our base, it was he who came up with it. Zheng Yucheng said, and then pointed to the fat man to introduce Xie Kai, "This is Cao Yunyang, the chief engineer we invited to be in charge of this project, who originally participated in the design of the Type 83 self-propelled gun...... This is Engineer Huang Aimin......"

Zheng Yucheng introduced Xie Kai to everyone in turn.

Huang Aimin and others didn't expect that Zheng Yucheng would let such a young man participate in this.

What can a child do with such an important project?

"Director Zheng, you said at the beginning that you want to build the most advanced self-propelled artillery in the country! What is the matter with letting a child participate?" Cao Yunyang asked Zheng Yucheng, "Or, do you think this is child's play?"

Xie Kai has always been smooth sailing, and he was worried about the age at first, because no one questioned it, and he didn't care about it anymore.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yunyang made him have to face his age again.

Zheng Yucheng didn't explain, but looked at Xie Kai with a smile in his eyes, and he looked like you could do it yourself.

"Comrade Xiao Xie, what do you know? In terms of artillery, do you know how to develop ammunition, or artillery design, or territory development?" Huang Aimin also made a difficulty.

When they come here, they are all tasks assigned by their superiors.

A unit that has nothing to do with artillery wants to engage in self-propelled artillery, which in itself is nonsense, and it makes them hold their anger in their stomachs.

Now another child is involved.

How else can they research technology and improve the performance of equipment?

The others looked at Xie Kai with disdain.

People who engage in technology are arrogant.

The most annoying thing for them is that people who don't know how to do it are pointing fingers in the process of their work.

Zheng Yucheng and they are self-funded and have a strong technical foundation, they are not happy, let alone Xie Kai, a child who has no hair?

Regarding dozens of technical experts' doubts about Xie Kai, Zheng Yucheng watched from the side and did not speak.

Not the first contact, he knew the temper of these people.

Even Wang Guilin and others also have a lively mentality, not the base's own internal personnel, and the team is not easy to manage.

Let Xie Kai file them, and the rest of the work will be easy to do.

Can't be wrong?

Anyway, they're in logistics.

"Guys, I know people are skeptical about my age. If you want to talk about professional technology, I think I can't compare with comrades who have worked for several years in any aspect...... "Xie Kai was forced to stand up by the people of the management committee.

Just the demeanor and reaction of these people, he knew that it would be difficult for the base to take them down.

Zheng Yucheng: It shouldn't be easy for them to communicate with each other.

"Since you know, you shouldn't be in this room. This is to discuss the top domestic artillery technology, and nothing else. Before Xie Kai could finish speaking, a middle-aged man in his forties interrupted him.

The attitude is not polite at all.

"If you have the best artillery skills, why are you still here?" Xie Kai also burst into flames.

At the beginning of rebirth, it was smooth sailing, even Ma Fengshan and Mr. Zhu, the top technical bulls did not question him so much, Lian Qin Fei and other unit leaders had to give some face, and it was strange not to be angry when they were treated like this by people who had never heard of it.

To be polite, I won't be so angry.

"If you don't want to cooperate, you can say no at the beginning. Xie Kai said calmly, "The entire 404 is such a big base, and our base leaders think that I can stand in this position, and there must be a reason for them." Naturally, I'm not going to be useless!"

Xie Kai's sharp words made all the technicians quiet.

Naturally, he is not without reason.

None of the leaders said anything.

"Please listen patiently to what I say, and if I say something that you think is unrealizable, please be patient and wait until I finish talking about the situation of the new generation of self-propelled guns before giving your opinion, or leave. Xie Kai's words finally made the conference room quiet.

The expressions on the faces of dozens of technicians were all disdainful.

Xie Kai knew what they were thinking, because he used to be in their position, looking at the leaders and some so-called experts on the stage who didn't understand at all with the way they looked at themselves.

Now is just the beginning, the bigger problem lies in the technical problems of the later professions.

"With regard to the new generation of self-propelled guns, the idea is to provide them with both range and firing speed. Equipped with an advanced fire control system, a ballistic computer is added, and a semi-automatic reloading mechanism at any angle or a fully hydraulic automatic reloading mechanism is adopted...... "This self-propelled gun proposed by Xie Kai is completely based on the PLZ88+1 122mm self-propelled howitzer.

It's not that he doesn't want to get directly on the horse PLZ-05 self-propelled howitzer, that's the craziest self-propelled gun in the whole world.

With a caliber of 155 mm and a 52 times diameter body tube, the range of low-resistance full-bore bottom-row projectiles can exceed 50 kilometers, and if a rocket extended-range projectile is launched, the range can exceed 70 kilometers.

Such a frenzied cannon is crazier than most short-range missiles.

The price of artillery shells is much cheaper than missiles.

Even with laser-guided shells, the accuracy is no worse than missiles, the range is longer than that of short-range missiles, and the price is lower!

"Do you know how difficult these technologies are?" Even though he vaguely knew the project to be carried out by the 404 base, Cao Yunyang was still secretly surprised when he heard the specific technical requirements.

If these are really done, this is not just a new generation of self-propelled guns, but a leapfrog artillery.

"Yes. The automatic loading mechanism, the technology of our 359 tank project can be used after modification, and the fire control system, which uses a stabilized fire control system, which is the ready-made technology of the 201 subordinate to our base...... Ballistic computers, etc., can also use the technical achievements of the 359 tank to reduce costs!"

These technologies are basically off-the-shelf.

The technology of the 359 tank is almost universal with self-propelled guns, and even self-propelled guns are simpler than tanks.

Artillery is used for support, fire suppression, not for charging and attacking like tanks.

"While using these technologies, we need to give the self-propelled guns more power, so that they can keep up with the speed of the armored forces, provide fire suppression in the rear, and provide a certain amount of defense capabilities, especially anti-aircraft defense......" Xie Kai said.

The technical difficulty is not big for the 359 project 404, which has made many breakthroughs.

"Now we are the only ones who are not sure, whether to engage in 122 caliber or 152 caliber, or 155 caliber, and what is the length of the body tube!" Xie Kai was also a little distressed.
