Chapter 130: Bullet Craft

Since the development of the new sniper rifle in Wanshan Factory, Yang Limin has devoted himself to the development of high-precision sniper bullets matched with the new sniper rifle.

Some people even think that the so-called bullets have long been all over the streets, and there is no need to work hard to make any so-called new bullets, and people who have such ideas are not only outsiders who have nothing to do with it, but even such ideas within the group led by Yang Limin are also common.

Even many young people in the group began to complain that although they joined this glorious research and development working group, they were assigned to a pension group that looks at flowers, raises grass, and eats idle meals, so that many members of Yang Limin's group have the idea of transferring or quitting.

In the face of the fluctuation of people's hearts in this group, Yang Limin did not take the usual consolation talk, but through the real development process, let the members of the group deeply understand the importance and complexity of special bullets for high-precision sniper rifles, and as the general person in charge of the development team and the chief designer of the new sniper rifle, Lu Jiadong naturally also noticed the ideological fluctuations in the bullet research and development team.

Lu Jiadong didn't feel much surprise about this, after all, the special bullet for high-precision sniper rifles is a new thing, and it does take a certain amount of time for people who have long been accustomed to old things to accept, but even if Lu Jiadong has some understanding of this situation, he can't let this kind of thinking develop indefinitely. You must know that the development of a new sniper rifle is a race against time, and there is no way to wait for anyone.

Because of this, although Lu Jiadong is very busy with everything. However, he still found time to go to Yang Limin's high-precision bullet development group, and took advantage of the opportunity to give lectures to the group members to explain the importance and necessity of high-precision bullets for sniper rifles and the ultra-high difficulty of developing them.

After feeling Yang Limin's words and deeds and listening to Lu Jiadong's narration, the members of these high-precision bullet development teams began to slowly change their thinking, but their thinking did not completely change because of this, until they saw the model of high-precision sniper rifles and the complete set of materials of the Soviet 7N1 bullet. only to realize how important this seemingly inconspicuous little bullet is.

And as they devoted themselves to the development of special bullets for high-precision sniper rifles, they discovered that this project, which no one had paid attention to before, contained so many disciplines. A small warhead alone contains more than a dozen categories and disciplines such as aerodynamics, internal ballistics, classical mechanics, and materials science, and its complexity is far greater than that of the firearm itself.

In this way, the process of development deepened day by day, and the ideological situation within the high-precision bullet development team gradually stabilized. Under their drive and spread, the entire Wanshan factory has also had a new understanding of the special bullets for high-precision sniper rifles, and they all know that the new sniper rifle can only play a better role in defeating the enemy with one shot only if it is equipped with the corresponding high-precision sniper rifle special bullets!

In fact, it is true that in order to improve the accuracy of shooting and maximize the probability of hitting the first shot, several major military powers in the world will almost without exception equip sniper rifles with special high-precision bullets, take the Soviet Union's Dragunov sniper rifle, in addition to the performance of the gun itself, only equipped with its matching 7N1 high-precision sniper rifle cartridge. This sniper rifle will only be as effective as it should be, and if it is equipped with normal bullets, the shooting accuracy will be greatly reduced. The new sniper rifle developed by the Wanshan plant is no exception.

In this way, the ideological stable high-precision bullet development team burst out with amazing energy, and the development progress was greatly accelerated, and Yang Limin, the famous "desperate San Lang" of the Wanshan Factory, once again began to rotate wildly like a never-ending spinning top, and high-precision sniper rifle bullets involved a wide variety of disciplines.

The amount of computation is unimaginable. In order to speed up the progress, Lu Jiadong specially applied to the Provincial Department of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. Using the DIS-1804 large-scale computer of the Provincial Computer Center to calculate theoretical data, although Yang Limin's computing tasks have been greatly reduced by using the computer, it does not mean that Yang Limin can sit back and relax.

Because even after the calculation of the large-scale computer is completed, Yang Limin still has to take the calculation results to carry out a complex and cumbersome data comparison, and in this comparison, he found that there is a large deviation between several experimental values and theoretical values, after careful research, Yang Limin found that this may be related to the existing production process of bullets, because of this, he found Lu Jiadong with these calculation data, and wanted to discuss with Lu Jiadong how to deal with this problem while explaining the situation.

And Lu Jiadong listened to Yang Limin's words and did not answer immediately, but looked at the old man in front of him with white temples, red eyes, and a little haggard face, and said with concern:

"Lao Yang, you have to pay attention to rest, if you stay up like this, your body will be unbearable sooner or later, now that your group's thinking has stabilized, you should let go of what you should do for the young people!"

Listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Yang Limin's haggard and stiff face flashed with a smile of relief: "Alas, I'm used to it, if you let me be idle, maybe I'll really get sick!"

Yang Limin's words did not surprise Lu Jiadong, because Lu Jiadong didn't know how many times he heard similar words, and it was nothing more than "How can we have time to rest, if we rest again, we will really fall behind and be beaten!" and "If you are really idle, you will fall ill", this time is no exception, so Lu Jiadong could only shake his head helplessly after listening to Yang Limin's words.

And Yang Limin won't dwell on this matter for too long, so he took the few calculated values he brought over, rummaged through them carefully, and then pointed to the two strings of values on them to Lu Jiadong:

"Jiadong, you see, these two strings of values are the results of the comparison between our theoretical calculations and the actual test production bombs, although the deviations are not very large, but this small error can make our high-precision bullets not reach the ideal state!"

Looking at the string of values, after listening to Yang Limin's words, Lu Jiadong couldn't help frowning slightly when he nodded in agreement, and Yang Limin, who was sitting next to him, did not stop there, but flipped through the calculation draft in his hand, and then found a list of comparative numbers full of values:

"Because of this situation, we have done an inspection and analysis of several experimental bombs in trial production, and found that there is a consistency deviation in each bullet!"

"Is there a deviation in consistency?" Listening to Yang Limin's words, Lu Jiadong was a little incredible, and Yang Limin nodded without hesitation:

"That's right, every bullet has it, and this situation is not only in these few test production bullets, other ordinary bullets also have such a problem, so we investigated this, and found that the production process of the existing bullets in our factory has no problem in the production of ordinary bullets, but if the production of special bullets for sniper rifles with high accuracy and consistency requirements is."

Yang Limin's words were not finished, but Lu Jiadong knew very well what he meant, the special bullets for high-precision sniper rifles have extremely high requirements for accuracy and consistency, because this directly affects the balance of the bullet in the air, resulting in a decrease in dispersion accuracy and involvement density.

At present, there is no problem in the existing bullet assembly process of Wanshan factory in the manufacture of ordinary bullets, but the special bullets for sniper rifles with very high requirements in terms of manufacturing consistency show the limitations of this process, if they are produced according to this process, then the high-precision bullets developed with such great efforts will have no high precision at all, and then the entire new sniper rifle will face the embarrassing dilemma of having a gun without bullets.

At this time, Yang Limin said again after finding a process sheet: "Now the bullet production process of our factory, especially the equipment process, is to assemble the warhead in a mature rear-loading way, and when the warhead is assembled in this way, the lead core or steel core is filled forward from the tail of the warhead.

Then use a special punch and other tools to press the lead core or steel core into place, and finally carry out the closing process of the warhead shell tail, although this process is mature and reliable, but in this way, the consistency of the warhead, axial symmetry and compactness are difficult to guarantee, and the accuracy of its dispersion will also be greatly reduced!"

"Lao Yang, is there any other way to optimize the existing process?"

"We have also thought of some ways!" After listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Yang Limin put down the manuscript in his hand: "For example, improving the special distribution production line, strictly determining the size ratio of lead or steel cores, and optimizing the special punch, but no matter how we improve, there is still a problem of consistency in the high-precision bullets made!"

After listening to Yang Limin's words, Lu Jiadong's originally frowning brows were already deeply locked together at this time, and one hand was half clenched into a fist and gently knocked on the desk in front of him a few times, while Yang Limin looked at Lu Jiadong who was deep in thought, and did not speak again, because he knew that Lu Jiadong was in a fierce ideological struggle in his mind at this time.

Just as his reaction after getting this comparison value was the same, because of this, Yang Limin knew that this decision was difficult to make, if one was not good, it might lead to a delay in the progress of the entire new sniper rifle, or even fail to dismount, so when he saw Lu Jiadong not speaking for a long time, Yang Limin couldn't help but speak first:

"Jiadong, otherwise we will use this way to process the bullet first, although the consistency is not up to standard, but it is always more accurate than ordinary bullets!"

"No!" After listening to Yang Limin's words, Lu Jiadong shook his head without hesitation: "The general requirement of our development is to make every component to the extreme, since the assembly process is defective, then we will find a way to change, if we can't change it, then we will change the new process!"

Listening to Lu Jiadong's words full of pride, Yang Limin's face couldn't help but show a smile of relief
