Chapter 115: Individual Equipment

Battlefield protection is a systematic science, even if it is just a helmet, it is no longer as simple as smashing an iron cover with a stamping machine to cover the head. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The current helmet is called a high-level combat helmet, which is light and sturdy and can prevent bullets from penetrating head-on, which is only a basic function, and it must also have an inner cushion to absorb shock waves and protect the soldier's fragile neck from being twisted by the momentum of the bullet. The helmet should also have rails, and if necessary, night vision devices, infrared, tactical flashlights and other equipment can be installed.

"Maybe you can experiment with a full-helmet with better security on the border battlefield, and it always feels like something is missing to protect a skull with a half-helmet!" Chen Xu drew a sketch of the Kevlar helmet on the drawing with a pencil, and he didn't need to spend extra effort to calculate, just copy it directly according to the Kevlar combat helmet of the U.S. military in later generations, and the U.S. imperialists spent tens of millions of dollars and spent six years to carefully develop the performance of the combat helmet.

Chen Xu likes to play with 'halo', and he has never forgotten the helmet of the non-commissioned officer in it.

Not to mention that the full helmet has more comprehensive protection for the head, a larger helmet can integrate night vision, thermal imager, telescope, and even high-resolution display, radar scanning, and communication equipment into the helmet, which can collect battlefield data as much as possible for front-line soldiers and improve combat effectiveness to the extreme.

Since they all thought of being a master sergeant's helmet, then shoulder armor, cuirass, side armor, wrist guards, and knee pads can all be developed by the way. Composite decks made of Kevlar or carbon fiber and ceramics are sturdy and lightweight. With so much armor on their bodies, they only wore a dozen catties, which was completely bearable for the load-bearing soldiers compared to the safety they received.

The full-body armor with more comprehensive protection is not impossible to do, the weight is not taken care of first, too much armor will cause inconvenience in the movement of human joints, not to mention that the whole body is covered with airtight deck heat is hot to death, how to fight, so as long as the key parts are protected.

Later, the technology came up, especially to solve the battery problem, and it was not impossible to make a full-body power assault armor like Iron Man.

The nuclear fusion reactor on Iron Man's chest is a small tokmak, which is difficult to achieve with current technology. This involves the problem of basic science, human beings are not able to confine such a powerful energy in a palm-sized furnace now, and even if they can do it, it is very unstable, and it is possible to blow up half of the city if something fails.

The battery technology is an extremely difficult to climb technology tree, no matter how much money is thrown into it, there is no way to break through its capacity limit, lithium batteries have become a dead end. Superconducting batteries and polymer fuel cells may be a bright road, after all, according to the calculation of high-performance superconducting electric motors, the power can exceed that of aero engines, but there are also many technical problems to be solved.

For example, the most critical temperature superconducting materials, the future is still bleak, a German announced the discovery of room temperature superconductors, and published many academic papers in global scientific journals, but in the end this person was recognized by the global scientific community as "a big liar in the history of physics once in 50 years".

There is such a shame in the German scientific community, and naturally the unremitting research on superconducting materials has been published, and a certain material that may have signs of superconductivity has been published, but it turns out that it can only be realized at a pressure of 2 million atmospheres, and there is no practicality. Later, every few years, the Germans would come up with a scientific paper on the discovery of superconducting materials, and now the whole world is too lazy to believe them.

Therefore, with the breakthrough of basic physics, human civilization can make it possible to move forward, and all the technical problems encountered by the above technologies, such as room temperature superconductivity, nuclear fusion reactors, super batteries, and power armor, can be easily solved.

It is not difficult to make a bulletproof helmet, motorcycle helmet, F1 racing helmet are good imitation objects, scientists in order to protect the safety of the driver's head, the helmet lining absorbs the external impact force is calculated a lot, and the shell is also made of carbon fiber that is dozens of times harder than steel, such a helmet is not inappropriate to use on the battlefield, and the soldier with a full helmet will not be injured even if he is hit by a bullet head-on.

Of course, it will be very hot to wear a full helmet, and Chen Xu may install a ventilation system inside the helmet, but whether it can be achieved is another matter.

The design of the battlefield protective gear is basically completed, and there are ready-made physical objects that can be copied, Chen Xu only needs to draw the sketch, write various parameters on the side, and then hand it over to the R&D department, let them find materials and then make them into physical objects according to the design requirements.

The aramid material used to make Kevlar Voyeur can now be imported from Europe and the United States, so let's make it first. Chen Xu knows that the production process of aramid materials is not a big problem to be localized, and it costs more than a billion yuan to import chemical synthesis equipment from abroad, and the factory is built.

The drawings of the protective gear were put aside, and a new blank sheet of paper was spread out, and Chen Xu began to ponder the design of small arms for the troops.

The pistol, of course, is copied from Glock, this pistol is widely sold all over the world, especially in the United States, it is widely used by the police and the CIA, it can use a variety of bullets, the number of parts is small, the maintenance is convenient, the recoil is small, and the firing is comfortable. It can also work normally in extremely harsh environments, and some netizens have done experiments, throwing the Glock pistol into the furnace to burn, or freezing into ice, and finally it can still be fired normally.

And it can be derived from various models for different tasks, which can be described as a universal pistol and is very popular.

The original model of Glock was the Glock 17, and there was an experimental model in 1980, but it was not until 1983 that it really entered the eyes of the military. In other words, in a few months, Glock 17 will be available, and Chen Xu is now copying Glock pistols, and there is a possibility of conflict with the Austrian Glock company.

However, Chen Xu didn't care about these, he copied out the semi-automatic Glock 17, the fully automatic Glock 18 that can be changed to a submachine gun, and the pocket-sized Glock 26. When the time comes, as soon as the real thing is put out, Chen Xu can completely beat it upside down, saying that Glock is copying the pistol of Southern Heavy Industries.

Besides, the Glock pistol will not be on the market until 1983, Chen Xu applied for a technology patent three years in advance, and carried out large-scale production, I believe that in the eyes of military fans around the world, Glock was designed by Southern Heavy Industries.

Considering that Southern Heavy Industry is a military industrial enterprise, it will sell weapons to the whole world in the future, and making a good pistol is the business card of the military factory. Only one Glock is not enough, and another famous gun can show the strength of the company!

So Chen Xu also drew the HK45 of the German HK company, which is a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol, which is about the same power as the legendary M1911 pistol, and can easily blow up the head of the monkey on the battlefield. However, the reliability of the HK45 is the same as that of the revolver, the reliability is surprisingly high, and tens of thousands of rounds of continuous design have not failed to fail, and the accuracy of the head is still accurate. Even if it is guaranteed to be cleaned frequently in daily use, the failure rate is basically zero.

A gun that doesn't break down on the battlefield is a warrior's favorite, and any other malaise can be tolerated.

It is not difficult to design a pistol, the key is that the materials and production process are the key to determining the quality of a gun, and the surface treatment and processing accuracy of the pistol need to be careful. Chen Xu hated the crude copycat pistols in the domestic military factory, and he did not allow his factory to make such cheap and rotten guns.

The rifle does not need to copy foreign ones, our own Type 03 assault rifle is very good, with a high-strength plastic body, light weight, and a foldable butt for easy carrying. What's more, it's cheap and suitable for large-scale equipment.

The assault rifle is the main attack weapon of the army, and the reliability must be the first, and the second is to ensure the accuracy of shooting, so the processing accuracy and materials of the barrel can not be too economical.

As for the sniper rifle, Chen Xu doesn't know which one to choose, many good sniper rifles in later generations have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they are all related to the processing accuracy of the barrel, which is not a big problem in front of the company's high-end CNC machine tools.

Before the war against Vietnam, there was no standard sniper rifle in the country, and only sharpshooters in the army used their eyes to penetrate Yang in 100 steps, until the capture of the Soviet-made SVD sniper rifle, there was a replica Type 79 sniper rifle, but the accuracy was much worse than the original Soviet version.

I don't know what kind of design to use, so I draw all the designs, in my last life, Chen Xu's assassination and sniping was commonplace, and the most used was a sniper rifle, and the one who knew the most was this kind of gun.

He has his favorite model of sniper rifle, but that's his personal taste, and front-line fighters don't necessarily like it. So he drew fifteen models of sniper rifles in one go, with different shapes and calibers. It can be mass-produced more than 100 pieces and sent to the front-line troops for actual combat tests, and the soldiers choose which one they like.

As for the heavy machine gun, there is no need for Chen Xu to worry about, the history of the Chinese domestic heavy machine gun can be described as long, experienced, the military is equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns to change to heavy machine guns, full of power.

As a squad of enhanced firepower, Chen Xuyou designed a cloudburst bazooka, which can fire explosive bombs, and the fortress against the Yue Monkey is really the best weapon, in addition to a multi-purpose bazooka, which can fire incendiary bombs and armor-piercing shells.

In later generations, our army basically had a bazooka in each person's hand, all of which did not occupy the establishment, and were thrown away as a disposable weapon after fighting, which was the real style of local tyrants.

In addition, Chen Xu has designed a lot of individual equipment, night vision devices, laser rangefinders, individual battlefield scanning radar, ultraviolet water purifiers, inflatable air beds, pillows, modular sleeping bags, individual radio communication equipment, self-heating military rations, integrated first aid kits, etc., he has taken the trouble to design good things used by the US military on the battlefield in later generations.

Fighting a war is not afraid of hardships, but in a harsh environment, it can enable soldiers to drink clean water, sleep well, and eat fragrant hot food, not to mention improving combat effectiveness, at least it can ensure that combat effectiveness will not be weakened by the harsh environment.

The drawings drawn this time are relatively simple, but they can't stand a large number, and there are more than 30 kinds of designs scattered and scattered, and if you really want to equip every soldier with these things, then the country will have to spend tens of thousands of dollars on each soldier, plus a lot of equipment is consumables, and it is not an exaggeration to say that fighting a war is to burn money.

Chen Xu knew that with the current strength of the imperial capital, he would definitely not equip the troops with these things, after all, the country was poor and could not afford to buy too good equipment.

However, Chen Xu wants to do business, and these things he designs are to be exported to the world, and many military supplies can be directly delegated to civilian use and sold as sports brands and outdoor adventure products. And the best advertising is used on the battlefield, and what has been tested on the harsh battlefield will not be too bad.

Therefore, Chen Xu will pay for the purchase of these equipment for the front-line officers and soldiers, which is beneficial to others and himself, so why not do it! (To be continued.) )
