Chapter 43: Rapid Attack Car
Signaling the driver to drive, Yang Tiancai turned to Mandy beside him. Bowen.
"It's been a long time since Miss Mandy."
Mandy seemed a little surprised that Yang Tian specially invited her to get into the car, but she didn't waste her words to say anything thanks, and quickly entered the working state, took out a small tape recorder, and asked, "Should I call you Mr. Yang, or Mayor Yang, or General Yang?" ”
Ask smart questions.
Yang Tian secretly praised that this seemingly simple question of title could see the main purpose of Yang Tian's entry into Abyeha.
If he calls himself Mr. Yang, he may be a businessman. If he claims to be Mayor Yang, then Yang Tian may be in charge of politics, and the military power will be handed over to others.
So this question is not easy to answer, and in public, Yang Tian has never officially expressed a clear inclination.
Yang Tian dared to say that no matter which title he chose, Mandy could write a big book and extend countless guesses.
So after thinking about it, Yang Tian smiled and said, "Miss Mandy, we are also old friends, maybe you can call me by my name directly." ”
Mandy chuckled, knowing that Yang Tian didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he gave up and asked, "Okay, Yang, can I ask where we are going?" ”
Although Mandy was eager to ask Yang Tian about his views on the civil war in the North and Soviet Union, and why Yang Tian was willing to sell arms to the rebels, she felt that Yang Tian might not answer even if she asked.
Yang Tian said that he was a friend, but Mandy didn't dare to really take Yang Tian as a friend.
"ABC's production base, you should be very interested." Yang Tiandao.
Mandy raised her eyebrows slightly, of course she was interested in ABC's production base, in the eyes of the outside world, ABC's production base has always been a mysterious existence, especially after its completion, the security here is even tighter.
There were also reporters who, in order to get a glimpse of what was going on, pretended to be a worker who applied for a job and wanted to fish in troubled waters.
Unfortunately, newly recruited workers have to do unrelated work for at least a month before they can actually participate in ABC production.
So I'm afraid that only those agents have this kind of surname, and ordinary reporters don't have this surname.
"Thank you, I'm looking forward to it." Mandy didn't ask any more questions, put up the camera in front of Yang Tian, and said in a playful manner, I won't take pictures.
Yang Tian saw all this in his eyes, this smart woman made a deep impression on Yang Tian, and just now he was moved by a moment, and he remembered to bring her, and he also had the intention of taking the opportunity to promote ABC Group.
ABC is a commercial company, and it always has to come to the front of the stage, and the necessary publicity is also indispensable.
The ABC base outside the city has changed drastically, and now from a distance, it looks like a steel fortress, with the billowing smoke of the smelting furnace and the cold white smoke of the cold, intertwined, almost obscuring the sky.
There is a three-meter-high fence, with an electrified barbed wire fence on the top, and there are no less than 100 surveillance cameras walking around the periphery of the wall, some of which are exposed outside, and some are directly buried in the wall.
Of course, the most people in the production base are still the military police with AKs everywhere.
Yang Tian laid off nearly 20,000 people in the First Army and the Second Army, and finally screened nearly 6,000 people many times, all of which were added to the military and police system.
ABC's production base is the top priority of guarding.
To get started, you also need to go through security checks, fingerprint inspections and other means, and many of the equipment are purchased from abroad, so there may be no way to put an end to agents like 007, but the average small role is still fine.
And for those top agents, Yang Tian doesn't care, the core key technology is still firmly in his own hands, and the workers only know the processing, but they can't figure out the principle.
And thanks to the Tianyang, many things are punched at one time, and the key model data is controlled by only a few people to prevent leakage.
However, no matter how secure the protective net looks on the surface, it cannot completely eliminate the leakage of secrets, and infiltration and espionage are everywhere.
Paper can't hold the fire, what Yang Tian can do is when the other party spies on his secrets, he turns his head and develops something better than others, and always occupies the commanding heights of technology.
After entering the production base through the security check, Yang Tian did not go to the production workshop, but asked the driver to drive to a huge test site in the corner of the production base.
"This is our weapons testing site, and of course, things like the Black Mamba missile are definitely not tested here." Yang Tian led Mandy out of the car and introduced with a smile.
Mandy noticed a word in Yang Tian's words and hurriedly asked: "The cruise missile that ABC tested has been officially named, is it a black mamba?" ”
There has been a lot of speculation about this test-fired missile, but there is not much accurate information coming out, and the ABC group has not made any statements, and even the official name of the missile is not known.
Yang Tian didn't hide it, and nodded generously and acknowledged.
Mandy looked excited, and based on this information alone, this interview was expected.
"Let's go inside, let's go in and have a look, today we should be testing a new automatic grenade launcher, along with a few gadgets, I think you will be interested." Yang Tiandao.
Walking through the side door into the test site, the deafening sound of gunfire came into your ears.
In the spacious test site, which is thousands of square meters, the chandeliers are bright, and you can see at a glance that a soldier is controlling a large machine gun, and the smoke is filled, firing small shells at a rate of several pieces per second.
And a brick wall two hundred meters away from the machine gun, under the bombardment of this shell, like tofu scum, fell apart, and most of it collapsed in an instant.
"This automatic grenade launcher has just rolled off the assembly line, and it has not yet been officially named, it can fire 40-mm multi-purpose shells, and now it is an armor-piercing projectile that is being test-fired." Yang Tian handed over a soundproof earmuff and introduced it loudly.
As a war correspondent, Mandy also went deep into the battlefield, and his face did not show too much fear, but there was an excited eagerness to try.
Seeing Yang Tian looking at himself with a smile, Mandy said, "I'm half a weapons critic. ”
Yang Tian gave a thumbs up, the gunfire was deafening, and he spoke too hard.
"How thick is that wall?" Mandy asked, gesturing to the brick wall in the distance.
Yang Tian stretched out five fingers: "Five meters." ”
Five meters?
Mandy was slightly stunned, even though it was a brick wall, and a 40-millimeter shell could penetrate five meters, it was also staggering.
Yang Tian stepped forward with Mandy and motioned for the soldiers who were controlling the grenade launcher to stop.
"Can I try it?" Mandy, who was behind him, stepped forward and asked expectantly.
Yang Tian glanced at Mandy unexpectedly, but he didn't expect this wise woman to have a violent side, and nodded.
Mandy didn't pinch either, and as he stepped forward, he explained: "My father used to be a weapons expert in the United States, and I have seen many weapons with my father since I was a child, so I am familiar with these things. ”
Yang Tian looked sideways slightly, no wonder this woman was a war correspondent, a job that many men were not capable of.
Mandy noticed the slender 40 mm shells in the magazine and asked with some surprise: "Is this the armor-piercing shell used, the length is a bit excessive, and it is also round-headed, why is that?" Aren't armor-piercing bullets all pointed, and can the alloy hard bullets made into round-headed ones meet the armor-piercing requirements? ”
Yang Tian smiled mysteriously and explained: "This is a military secret, and it is not convenient to disclose. ”
Indeed, armor-piercing bullets in the general sense are all pointed, using high-hardness alloys such as tungsten steel as warheads, using kinetic energy to penetrate armor.
However, the armor-piercing bullet designed by Yang Tian is not of this design, and even the principle is completely different.
Ordinary armor-piercing projectiles, once accelerated, when the cannon ejects the barrel, it flies purely by kinetic energy, and the muzzle velocity of the discharge is the highest, which can reach kilometers per second or even higher, and the flight energy of the shell will gradually decrease.
But Yang Tian uses three-stage acceleration and high-precision delayed fuzes, like three-stage rockets.
The first stage of ejection, at the moment of disemboweling, under the subtle control of milliseconds, ignites the second stage, accelerates again, and then there is a third stage of pushing.
Therefore, the maximum speed of this armor-piercing projectile is after the three-stage fuse is fully ignited, and the speed of the warhead reaches the extreme, and Yang Tian has calculated that this distance is about 500 meters.
The design of the warhead is round, there is also a special reason, this three-stage acceleration, just like the second kick, although in a very short, millisecond time to complete, but also will have a certain impact on the stability of the bullet, the use of a round head, is to increase the air resistance, control the flight trajectory of the warhead will not produce too much deviation.
And most importantly, the armor-piercing projectile does not penetrate the armor with a round warhead, but an alloy steel ball inside the warhead.
This steel ball is even smaller, and after the three-stage acceleration, its speed will even reach thousands of meters per second, and that kind of instantaneous kinetic energy can completely penetrate the armor of a tank like a large anti-materiel sniper rifle.
To put it simply, the armor-piercing bullet designed by Yang Tian seems to be a 40 mm caliber, but in the end, it pierces through the armor and causes penetrating damage, but the caliber is no more than 10 mm steel ball.
Its armor-piercing ability is not weaker than at all, and even more than a hundred mm armor-piercing shells.
And the most critical thing is that it is not like a tank, it takes a few seconds and more than ten seconds to fire the next one when firing an armor-piercing projectile, with an automatic grenade launcher, it is an armor-piercing machine gun, which frantically pours armor-piercing shells at a rate of four to five per second, and a tank with a slow firing speed is destined to be a tragedy in front of it.
Just as he was thinking, Mandy also pulled the trigger and fired skillfully.
But she only fired one shot, and then ran to the brick wall in the distance.
The five-meter-thick brick wall was completely pierced, leaving a 10-millimetre-diameter hole with cracks like cobwebs around the edges.
Mandy immediately noticed the difference in the bullet holes, and it was impossible to explain how a 40 mm shell caused a 10 mm bullet hole.
Returning to Yang Tian, Mandy thought about it for a while and said, "I think I understand your design intentions. Although I can't figure out how this armor-piercing projectile works, with such penetrating ability, combined with the rate of fire like a machine gun, it is simply a tank killer. And I think it should have a flexible maneuver, like welding on a Humvee or something. ”
Yang Tian glanced sideways slightly, this woman's eyesight is really good, and she immediately understood Yang Tian's design concept.
"Humvee? That's too bulky, don't you think, it's more appropriate to weld this automatic grenade launcher to a fast attack vehicle? Yang Tian smiled and waved his hand to Louie.
Mandy was stunned for a moment, followed Yang Tian's point, and noticed that on one side of the test site, there were two cars parked, covered with black felt cloth, when he first came in, Mandy also noticed, but thought it was an ordinary off-road vehicle, so he didn't care.
It was only now that Louis lifted the felt cloth that Mandy noticed that it turned out to be a fast attack vehicle.
The pitch-black body, except for the car chassis, the overall body is a black alloy metal frame, just looking at the shape, it is an enlarged go-kart.
However, Mandy is very familiar with this kind of fast attack vehicle, which is extremely flexible, usually one or two people in a seat, welded with a heavy machine gun, or a grenade launcher, adapted to many complex terrains, and is very popular with special forces.
This black fast attack vehicle, coupled with this automatic grenade launcher, is the ultimate killer designed by Yang Tian to deal with tanks.
The petite body, lightweight steel frame structure, make it have extraordinary flexibility, with armor-piercing bullets that can penetrate the world's mainstream tanks, and a machine-gun-like rate of fire, on the battlefield, the tank can only follow its ass to eat dust.
For example, this kind of fast attack vehicle is a small velociraptor and a tank is a large stegosaurus, which is so large that it can be killed by stepping on a velociraptor.
But the velociraptor was faster and extremely sharp, and could easily bite through the fangs of the heavy leather armor of the stegosaurus, so what would happen when it was in guerrilla combat?
Yang Tian deliberately designed this combination, that is, he estimated that in a frontal war, the rebel army would definitely not be the opponent of the soldiers of the United States.
Towns and cities will definitely be occupied by the combined forces with absolute superiority in frontal equipment, and next, the elimination of rebel forces infiltrating the countryside will still be dominated by guerrilla warfare.
In this case, this kind of fast attack vehicle will definitely cost the combined forces dearly. (To be continued.) )
