"You kid is here, come on, shoot two shots, and be very energetic!" Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai, who was running over with Mo Qi, and said excitedly.

Then he looked at Xie Kai's hand, which made Mo Qi's face flush and shook off Xie Kai's hand.

"Here, this rope is tied to the firing mechanism, pull it hard, and the shell will be shot out......" Xie Kai was not a little embarrassed, walked to the front, and introduced to Moqi how to launch the shell.

Mozi had only seen a cannon fired in the movie, and thought it was easy to hear, but he pulled it suddenly, and he used a lot of energy, but he didn't pull the iron open.

Xie Kai introduced the various positions of the artillery and the principle at the same time, and under his demonstration, he finally fired a shell.

The huge recoil made the ground tremble.

"Brother, you are here, hurry up and let me shoot the cannon!" Sun Juan saw it when Xie Kai pulled Mo Qi to Zheng Yucheng's side, and the other cannons were surrounded by people, and it was not easy to touch them.

"Come on, this is physical work!" Xie Kai glanced at Zheng Yucheng, and Zheng Yucheng said.

"I'll load the shells myself!" Sun Juan refused the help of the two soldiers of the garrison regiment, and actually directly picked up a 28-kilogram shell, stuffed it in the barrel, and shouted to the stunned Moqi to close the cannon latch, and the two girls studied for a long time, and finally fired a shell again.

Except for Zheng Yucheng and others at the beginning, the cannon operated by the half-grown children and young workers at the base at the back was not so neat.

Sometimes there were several rings in a row, and sometimes there was no movement for a long time.

"Line up at the back, keep a safe distance!"

Safety work is the most important, the base has been engaged in it for many years before, and there has been no accident, and it has long been experienced, plus the crowd was chaotic at the beginning, and after the cannon was fired, many people would only watch from afar, and there was no chaos.

"Why don't you go up and fire two cannons? Although it's not on the battlefield and there is no enemy to fight, firing artillery is also a comforting thing. Zheng Yucheng leaned over to Xie Kai and asked him.

Wang Guilin and the others didn't know when they came over.

"Lao Zheng, how about we get a 122mm self-propelled howitzer?" Xie Kai didn't step forward to fire, but knew on the side that Sun Juan and the elated and tireless Mo Qi kept loading shells and firing the cannonball.

After only three shots, the two women had no strength.

The artillerymen in the back asked them to retreat and change to the ones lining up behind, and the two women did not leave, just watching from behind the security line next to them.

Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng.

"122mm self-propelled howitzer, don't we have it in China?" Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai suspiciously.

"Do you say that it is a Type 70 122mm self-propelled howitzer that has been equipped with troops for a long time, or a 152-mm self-propelled howitzer that was finalized in 83?" Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng.

"It's all right. We're going to have to do something that we don't have in the country now!"

"What we want to do is advanced, the Type 70 structure is simple, that is, a 531 mm howitzer is added to a Z-122 site, and the fire control system is not ...... As for the Type 83 152-mm self-propelled grenade cannon, the technology is not good at all...... "Xie Kai said.

Isn't the base worried about how to spend money?

The 122-mm gun in front of him gave Xie Kai a lot of inspiration.

Self-propelled howitzers, this is an inevitable development of the future.

In particular, the 152-mm howitzer was originally created to support tank cluster operations.

The country has always been the idea of artillery, and the development of heavy artillery has never slowed down.

"Even if we do this project, it won't do much good. Wang Guilin frowned and said, "The cost of consumption will not be too much." ”

"There really isn't much market for ordinary self-propelled howitzers, what if we all use the most advanced production technology, a longer barrel, a longer range, and even a stabilized fire control system?" Xie Kai asked with a smile.

Neither the Type 70 122-mm self-propelled howitzer nor the Type 83 152-mm self-propelled howitzer does not have a fire control system.

So in the end, the Type 83 was replaced by the Type 88 self-propelled howitzer installed with the British disturbance fire control system without much production equipment.

"We have fire control system technology, self-tightening technology, and new gun steel production technology...... Even, we can continue to make a fuss on the 59 tank chassis. In this way, the cost of our technology is more widely used and the cost is lower!" Xie Kai proposed to develop self-propelled artillery, not on a whim.

This project can completely pass on a lot of research and development costs to the 359 tank project.

"It's not a good place to talk about this here, let's go to the office and talk about it. Zheng Yucheng became interested.

Others are also interested in this.

The position of artillery in the hearts of the Chinese military far exceeds everything else.

"You and Sun Juan are playing here, and then go back by yourself, I have something to do. Xie Kai said to Mo Qi, Mo Qi was now all focused on the cannon in front of him, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Xie Kai at all.

Xie Kai followed Zheng Yucheng and his party towards the base headquarters amid the continuous roaring of cannons.

Most of the people in the base were outside here, and when they saw Zheng Yucheng and the others, they greeted each other.

Seeing Xie Kai with Zheng Yucheng and others, it immediately made many people interested.

asked the people around them who this child was, and then some educated young people said that Xie Kai and Wang Hao were still doing the in the base.

"As I said last night, I don't think our base is suitable for meddlers at the moment. We can carry out the project of armed helicopters, and at the same time carry out research work on self-propelled howitzers to cooperate with our 359 tanks. Xie Kai entered the conference room, and the first thing he said was this, "These can be used together, and we can provide them to customers." ”

Iraq and Iran are both potential customers.

Even Pakistan can be their customer.

"Some countries cannot afford advanced tanks, but they absolutely need advanced self-propelled howitzers!"

Before the First World War, the major powers began to desperately develop artillery, tanks, self-propelled artillery, etc., which can be seen as an upgraded version of artillery.

The truth is within the range of the cannon.

"I think this project is more reliable. A lot of our technology is off-the-shelf, and if you integrate it, you can even get a finished product very quickly. Qi Yuanzhi nodded and said, "This project requires a lot of funds, and we can use the project to hide the funds." ”

They are working on 125mm tank guns, all of which are using the most advanced technology and do not need to reinvest in research.

Even the fire control system proposed by Xie Kai is a ready-made technology from 201.

"I also think it's good, I can find more ways for the 201 Institute's stabilized image fire control system. Bai Yanjun also supports the project.

"The project is good, we don't have a dedicated team working on this. Wang Guilin also feels that the project is feasible and will soon see the finished product.

Most of the R&D teams at base 404 were evacuated, and they did not have an artillery research team.

Even the 359 caliber tank gun of the 125 tank project was commissioned to the 541 base to be developed using the technology provided by them.

"Cooperate with the Fifth Aircraft Department and the Armored Forces Engineering Department. There are many units in China that have the ability to carry out this project. Xie Kai said.

They do everything themselves, which is definitely not a good thing.

I can't finish it even if I'm tired to death.

"Our base will pay for it, and other units will pay for it, but what about the final result?" Zheng Yucheng disliked this kind of cooperation the most.

They are all state units, they pay money, and other units do it, and it is difficult to distinguish the final issue of the ownership of the results, and many units can directly use their results.

"Don't you like to smash people with money? Spend money to buy technology, buy people from units that research and develop artillery, buy people from units that research and develop artillery, buy people and buy technology from ...... research and development sites," Xie Kai said. "Let's set up a team responsible for assembly design, and each unit only has a certain part of the technology at most!"

"Xiao Xie's proposal is good. As long as the assembly technology is in our hands, no one else will say anything. When the time comes, we will have the technology in our hands, and we will have the final say on who we want to help with production! Whether it is an order from the domestic air force or a foreign order, it will have to pass through our hands!" Qi Yuanzhi nodded.

"I think we have to consider whether the price of self-propelled guns with a stabilized fire control system will be too high. Bai Yanjun reminded everyone to consider this issue.

The more technical it is, the more expensive it is.

"Let's get the assembly technology out first, and as for the rest, we'll talk about it later. No problem, according to the price that the other party is willing to provide, provide a reduced version. Xie Kai said with a smile, "We must speed up, and maybe we can make a fortune while the Iran-Iraq war is not over." Xie Kai said with a smile.

If it weren't for the fact that the base started firing guns again today, he really wouldn't have thought about this problem.

The R&D and production of artillery is really far from 404.

In the future, even if the accuracy of missiles is getting higher and better, and the performance is getting better and better, the artillery will exist for a long time and become a representative of cheap heavy firepower.

How Xie Kai doesn't think about it in the future, the key is that this thing can be made quickly, and then exchanged for American knives from the Iraqis and Iranians!

At the same time, it can also solve the problem that the funds in the hands of the base have no projects to consume.

This is a new project for the 404 base, but a lot of the technology itself is what they are developing or even already have.

As a result, it will appear faster than the finished product of the 359 tank, which will be introduced to the international market.

"Let's look at which units to work with. In fact, we are improving the original confident artillery design, adding fire control systems, etc., and the choice of who to cooperate with is very important. Qi Yuanzhi's words represent their approval of the project.

Xie Kai didn't have the heart to study these with them.

It's a complete waste of time.

"You guys study it, I look at the information on those dismount techniques, and it just so happens that there is nothing else to do today. Xie Kai is very curious about how many projects have been launched in China.
