Chapter 444: A new type of sight
In the office building where the conventional weapons project team of Changsheng Machinery is located, Pan Gui, who is in charge of developing rifles, pointed to several firearms on the desk and said: "Boss, you see, that is the rifle we designed. ”
Shen Danqing didn't reply, he walked a few steps to the rifle and admired it carefully. Although he is the richest man in the world, he has never even seen a pistol, let alone a rifle, every man has a belligerent factor and a natural love for firearms, just like ancient knights liked swords. He also likes firearms, but he is a pseudo-military fan to the bottom and has not studied it deeply.
On the table are a total of four guns, two long-range medium-range brazel rifles, one automatic rifle and grenade rifle. Strictly speaking, there are only two guns, and the only difference in the length of the barrel of the sniper rifle is that the grenade is an enhanced version of the automatic rifle.
The automatic rifle on the table may be influenced by the domestic Type 95 rifle and the American M16 rifle also has a handle, and the grenade launcher is still the old-fashioned manual firing method, which is to retreat and shoot a grenade. The sniper rifle is simple, and since there is no scope attached, it is always straight. Both guns have a simplified butt and a T-shaped structure that allows for flexible disassembly and assembly.
Shen Danqing only looked at it for a few minutes and found several significant shortcomings, which can also be said to be not shortcomings, but they were limited by the times and their imagination was not rich enough. Their design is also a fusion of other people's advantages, to put it bluntly, it is a copycat, so it is impossible to say that they have shortcomings. But this design did not meet his own requirements, so he said to the three designers: "I took a cursory look and found that your imagination is not enough, I don't care whether these guns you designed can be fired or not, but I am sure that your design is outdated." It is now the electronic age, but these guns are still in the gunpowder age and cannot keep up with the development of the times.
Let me remind you, first of all, the handle on the automatic rifle is not needed, the sight in front of the gun head is not needed, the grenade launcher is on top and not below, and the launch control switch should be combined to the trigger, just like a bullet, a trigger, a grenade.
Why is it designed this way? Because we have to put a high-tech scope on the rifle. It is a multifunctional sight that combines an infrared thermal imager, a laser rangefinder and a computer. Equipped with a small AMOLED display, in the future, our soldiers do not need to aim carefully, just like playing a game, just look at the screen, put the crosshairs, and apply the infrared portrait on the screen to shoot. In other words, the soldiers don't need to aim, calculate the distance, and adjust the focal length of the collimator, and the multi-purpose scope solves all the problems for them. Therefore, that cross sight in front of the gun head is also not needed.
I know that the original designer wanted to install a scope on it, so that when the soldier aimed and fired, the position was relatively high, which was more convenient for shooting, and could also prevent the gunpowder gas from being discharged after shooting and hurting the soldier's eyes. But our new scope is different, the soldier does not need to be close to aim, even if he walks upright, he can aim and shoot. So we have to design according to our characteristics.
Let's talk about the grenade launcher, let's not care whether it is mounted on the barrel or hung under the barrel, first of all, it must be able to shoot like a rifle, and cooperate with our new scope, so that the fire is more accurate, and if the soldier is trained, he can do 100 shots. In addition, according to the characteristics of the gun grenade, we should design a programmable grenade, that is, we can control the explosion of the grenade at any point within its 800-meter range, so that it can hit every shot.
In addition, our bullet is a new type of plastic explosive bullet without a cartridge case, so our rifle does not need a complex bullet throwing mechanism, which can further simplify the rifle structure. I didn't look inside, I don't know if you subtracted these settings. ……”
Shen Danqing wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Pan Gui, who was eager to justify: "Boss, we saved those settings." He originally thought that he would be praised by the boss, but he knew that he was criticized by the boss as useless and a backward weapon. Now the whole world is almost the same design, including the US imperialists, these guns are mainly borrowed from the US imperialists, do you say that he is not wronged? Of course, he also has to admit that the new type of sight described by the boss is a real modern rifle equipment, which shoots like playing a game, and he does not know that if he has played the game, he can completely kill the enemy 100 percent as long as he trains diligently. Moreover, the thermal imager is not simple, even if the enemy is hiding behind a wall, he can still be spotted. Just like the ancient immortals had perspective immortals. How can an enemy with an ordinary rifle fight against his own soldiers with high-tech equipment? Isn't this a one-sided massacre with eggs and stones?
"Well, it's good that you've paid attention to this feature, it seems that I'm overthinking. However, due to the peculiarities of this new bullet, you should design a new bullet carrier to protect fragile bullets. I won't say much about the specific shape, let you imagine, but you must make sure that no matter how many bullets are used, the bullets inside must be tightly protected, not scattered after using a few. The specific size is the amount that a soldier can carry in addition to the magazine. ”
Shen Danqing pointed out a few shortcomings, and put forward a few new ideas of his own and left Changsheng Machinery to go home, yes, he is not at work now, the company is back to normal, and he has nothing to worry about.
Shen Danqing's acceptance results in the firearms group surprised everyone, and the rifle that was originally in line with the mainstream was criticized by him as useless. This frightened the artillery crews, or self-propelled artillery crews, and why they were called artillery crews? Because they had to first develop the cannon, measure its performance, and finally develop the armored car chassis based on the data of its recoil and cannon size.
And they were only a day or two behind the rifle crew, that is, they also basically made a couple of cannons and two mortars. They wanted to wait for the acceptance of the firearms team to pass, and they continued to accept. Today, the boss says that the rifle developed by the firearms team is the thinking of the gunpowder era and is outdated. Can they not be afraid? Because the cannon they developed is not new, and it is also a copy of the mature experience of others, and it is also the thinking of the gunpowder age?
Why did they develop it so quickly? Strictly speaking, they don't call it R&D, they should call it design. They don't have to worry about the materials, they don't have to worry about the process, they are only responsible for the design. The two most difficult levels of the cannon, they don't have to care, can they not be happy?
The material is provided by the special steel mill under the Metal Research Institute, which may be known to everyone. The process is the responsibility of the heavy machinery factory under the Institute of Mechanical Technology, like the gun barrel, which is extruded by an extruder with a maximum extrusion force of 100,000 tons. You can use as much force as you want, it is completely CNC adjustable, as long as you set a few data.
There is also the powder chamber, that is, the shell cavity, which is also a die forging machine with a force of up to 100,000 tons, which is calcined. The tools are complete, there is really no difficulty, and the quality is obediently good. As for annealing and quenching, it is not a problem, Changsheng Investment Group spent a lot of money to learn these processes in the early years. Otherwise, what will the Ministry of Technology and Information do with hundreds of millions of dollars spent every year? Not all of them have gone to do these good things.
Professional matters are handed over to professional units, and there is naturally no difficulty in designing. So strictly speaking, they are not really artillery specialists. Without Changsheng Investment Group, they didn't want to build a qualified cannon at all.
Straight to the point. The cannon designed by the cannon group is really nothing new. Compared with the artillery of World War II, there is no difference, and there is nothing more than a little more range and power. But it's useless, it's still an ordinary cannon.
This is a big deal for the designers of the artillery crew, what is the kind of cannon in the electronic age? The new type of sight that the boss said is not suitable for cannons, because cannons are out-of-sight operations. It seems that the only way to find a way is to do it on the data chain. But this is not the scope of their research, there is a professional team in charge.
The so-called three people count the long, one person counts the short, as long as you really use your brain, you can still think of a way. They decided to postpone calling the boss to review it, and when the self-propelled gun was fully developed, it would not be too late to call the boss. They wanted to build a networked intelligent self-propelled artillery with coordinates provided by soldiers and reconnaissance aircraft in front of them, and a cannon that could react instantly. The characteristic of this cannon is that it reacts instantly, basically no more than three seconds, and it can even be said that the switch is in the hands of the soldiers in front. However, they only have ideas and need help from others, because electronics and software are not their specialty.
The technology is forced, if Shen Danqing is not demanding, they will not be aware of their shortcomings, thinking that it is okay, because other countries do this.
Of course, Shen Danqing didn't know all this. He's going to be basking in the sun at home! He thinks it's all right. But I don't know that the foreign media are violently criticizing him?
It turned out that the matter was an order he had given, and Changsheng Investment Group was so severely sanctioned by Europe and the United States, so the European and American media sent reporters to interview Changsheng Investment Group and Changsha Industrial Park, in order to see the current miserable situation of Changsheng Investment Group. But Shen Danqing had already issued an order prohibiting people other than Chinese from entering the Changsha Industrial Park.
He originally thought that Changsheng Investment Group would not rely on foreign markets anyway. Moreover, there are also a large number of secrets in the Changsha Industrial Park that attract foreign institutions, and just in case, he issued an order prohibiting foreigners from entering the Changsha Industrial Park.
