Chapter 192: The First Appearance of an 80mm Bazooka
It was already April to send Dongzi and his party away, which made Jiang Chen feel a little emotional, time flies so fast, I don't think I've been here for two years. From the strangeness at the beginning, to the familiarity to the current love. From the beginning of loneliness, and then with everything, there are parents who love themselves, lovers who love each other sweetly, brothers who love each other, and leaders who care about him. Until now, he feels that this is like a dream, he struggled so desperately in society in his previous life, so he returned to the past because of a coincidence, and achieved the current Jiang Chen. It is precisely because of this adventure that Jiang Chen cherishes everything he has now.
All the researchers involved in the paramotor project were given a long vacation to give them a good rest, and after so many hours of research work, everyone was already physically and mentally exhausted. Although the conditions are not up to the mark now, and Jiang Chen can't arrange any travel or anything, a long vacation can still be had. At this point, Jiang Chen can still make a decision, because they are not state-owned enterprises after all, and they are not subject to those rules and regulations. This made several project laboratories under the Technology R&D Center of Factory B17 very eye-catching, and they were all around Jiang Chen to see when they could take such a long vacation. In this regard, Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said that it would be difficult for him to do it. This one is that there is no decent product, and this two is that their holidays are not managed by Jiang Chen. However, Jiang Chen also said that let them work with peace of mind, and when the results come out, Jiang Chen will help them coordinate one or two.
Now the development of this 80-mm rocket launcher has reached the final stage of tackling tough problems, and if these problems are solved, then it will be considered a successful development. It's about this material, it's more professional, and although Jiang Chen can give a little guidance, he can't do it in a deeper aspect. Because even in the Hereafter. This core technology about materials is also confidential, so even Jiang Chen, who came from later generations, has no way of knowing.
What Jiang Chen can do now is to provide all the convenience for their research. For example, in order to be able to gnaw this hard bone, Jiang Chen also creatively assembled a professional seminar on this aspect to analyze and overcome this problem. Of course, this symposium is not an academic conference where you just drink tea and chat and do nothing like in later generations. Jiang Chen also personally presided over this seminar. It is to gather experts from various fields to discuss and then find a solution. In addition, the research laboratories of the B17 plant and the laboratories of the service company are united to form a consortium for technological innovation and research and development. Then make full use of the laboratories in various fields under the consortium to serve a project, thus helping them to accelerate their research process.
However, you can't be in a hurry about scientific research, the more anxious you are, the more it will backfire, and if it is serious, there will be chaos and accidents. Jiang Chen can still understand this aspect. So he also gave the following researchers plenty of time to work with peace of mind. But he was miserable, not only was he urged by the Science and Technology Commission to call every day, but Lu Chunyang, the military representative in the factory, was also pestering him every day and forcing the process. Jiang Chen and Jiang Chen also took it upon themselves, in order not to put pressure on the people below.
Finally, after some hard work, the project has finally made substantial progress. The part that was stuck earlier was successfully resolved. What is the problem, that is, about the excessive temperature of the nozzle at the tail of this rocket. This led to the problem of deformation of the nozzle. Although this has no effect on the launch, it has a very important impact on the flight of the rocket. Due to the deformation of the spout. As a result, the direction of the tail flame spray changed when the rocket was flying. As a result, the flight attitude of the rocket was changed, which led to a steering that could not accurately hit the target. And since this transformation is immediate, it is not clear at all that the rocket can fly after it is launched, and it is possible that you launched it in the last second. The next second, it will spin in the air and fly back.
In fact, the solution is very simple, that is, to replace it with ceramic products. Before, everyone was in a cycle, trying to change the metal or process the metal, and never thought about replacing it with other items. And after Jiang Chen knew about this problem, he also began to fall into this strange circle. For a long time I didn't think of a solution. It wasn't until one day, when he accidentally saw a piece of porcelain, that he suddenly realized why we can't replace it with porcelain. When Jiang Chen told the rest of the project about this idea, they were all enlightened and immediately agreed with Jiang Chen's suggestion. With this idea, they immediately implemented it, and after several experiments, they succeeded. And because this temperature is controlled, it means that the amount of propellant can be increased in this rocket, which increases the range of the rocket.
The following things went very quickly, and soon the project team came up with samples. After several test launches, they were very successful. And this bazooka is to some extent comparable to the previous 120 mm bazooka. Especially in armor piercing, it is even more than that. And it is lighter than the 120 rocket launcher, basically the weight of the empty barrel is less than half of the 120 barrel, and the rocket is also much lighter. Therefore, after Jiang Chen's design, the ammunition vehicle was changed from the original vertical to horizontal. Such a soldier can carry five rockets (including three conventional rounds and two armor-piercing rounds) on a similar weight, which increases his ability to deal with the battlefield. In fact, before 120, there was such a distress, that is, the power is great, it is too big, so it may be a little wasteful. For example, if you use this to deal with 800 mm fortifications, you can use it to deal with brick walls, is this a bit overkill. Moreover, this bazooka group has a minimum of two people and can only carry two rockets, which is far from enough for combat. Now with this, the same two-person bazooka group can carry five rockets, and even the launcher who carries the bazooka itself can carry two or three rounds if necessary. Be fully prepared for a protracted war.
The bazooka was developed and tested a few times before it was robbed by military representative Lu Chunyang. The reputation is that they helped Jiang Chen and them test, and Jiang Chen was already accustomed to this. However, he also understands that since the above is in such a hurry, it must be in a hurry, and he has no complaints about it. Besides, having them help Jiang Chen and them test, it will save them a lot of work, so why not. (To be continued......)
