Shen Yiyi heard Old Man Shen talk about his use of such a new weapon, and he was deeply impressed by his grandfather's enthusiasm for battlefield battles at such an age. It seems that any man who has experienced the battlefield has such a dedication to his military career cannot be underestimated.

However, Shen Yiyi still has to pour cold water on his grandfather, because the use of his grandfather's plan is not powerful enough for her invention.

Shen Yiyi asked Old Man Shen one by one: "Grandpa, which country do you think our country can still fight a land war with now?" ”

Shen Yiyi's question stopped Old Man Shen, who was excited about his granddaughter's role on the battlefield as a simplified version of the invention of the "combat robot".

Since the end of such a "war of self-defense and counterattack" in the southwestern border in the 80s, China's military construction can be said to have been put into storage for quite a long time. That is the phrase of the chief designer, military construction makes way for economic construction. After the current general secretary took office, although he has partially resumed investment in military construction, economic construction is still the core of all work.

Not only did he lead troops to fight, but at the same time, for a long time later, Mr. Shen, who had also worked in the government system all his life, had no opinion at all about taking economic construction as the center. He felt that he really should. This is because only when we have strong economic strength will we be able to support our country's army building with more confidence. However, it is precisely because we need to focus on economic construction. Only then should we vigorously maintain the two main axes of all our work, "peace" and "development."

Old man Shen, who was quite clear about all this, of course knew that for a long time, the possibility of war on China's land borders was not very likely. And. Now the central government has begun to settle the land border dispute with its powerful northern neighbor, which has always been stronger than itself. And other small countries, with the precedent of the country that wants to be the number one military power in Southeast Asia, I don't think there will be any more disputes with China over land territory. Therefore, a picture similar to the one he had painted to his little granddaughter would not happen in the future.

Thinking of this, the old man didn't know whether he should be glad that our army didn't have to fight, or feel sorry for the fact that he could no longer raise the might of our army on the battlefield.

The old man sighed: "Now it seems." This land war is not going to be fought anymore. After all, we are not the United States, and we will not casually fight a local war on a global scale. ”

Shen Yi nodded: "Yes." So grandpa, you know, that is, this research result of ours. It seems that if you want to really play a role, you can't find any stage. If you can only show off in the exercise, then I don't think it's a big deal. Because it's no different from the toys in the game. ”

Shen Haijiang heard his little granddaughter say this, and intuitively felt that the little granddaughter still had something unfinished. Is there anything else she hasn't said that she wants to express to herself?

Old Man Shen said to his granddaughter, "One by one. Grandpa knows you actually want to say something else. You don't have to play any dumb riddles with grandpa and me. If you have something to say, just say it. Aren't you very eye-catching about the kind of use that your grandfather said? Say it yourself. Where do you think your invention will be used in the future? is the one that can play its role the most. ”

Shen Yiyi saw that Old Man Shen had understood the subtext of his question, and he no longer hid it. She said bluntly to Old Man Shen: "Grandpa, in fact, I think the most applicable place for my invention is not in my father's army, but in the navy." ”

Old Man Shen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Shen Yiyi mention the navy one by one. Speaking of the Chinese army in this era, the army is the first branch of the armed forces. The wars fought along the way from the beginning of the Nanchang Uprising were all land battles. The main force of our Red Army is also absolutely from land warfare. Even the army that fought on the Korean battlefield that was able to play the mighty side of the Chinese army. That's the Army too. So foreign military analysts in this era talk about the Chinese army. They only focus on the strength of the army, and disdain the other two conventional branches of our army. And among them, the status of the Navy is even inferior to that of the Air Force. Because in the eyes of some foreigners, although the name of the Chinese Navy is called Navy, it is better to call it the Coast Guard, because our strength can only operate in the coastal waters. Even after the explosion of troops in later generations, the strength of our navy is still not comparable to that of Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force.

For a little girl who grew up in an army environment, Old Man Shen felt a little unbelievable that his little granddaughter would actually talk to him about the navy. But such an unbelievable is not a negative emotion. On the contrary, Shen Haijiang was very happy that his little granddaughter was able to spontaneously care about the topic of the construction of our army. The most regrettable thing for him now is that none of the third generation of his family are in the army. Of course, he also knew that when his little granddaughter was made a national defense orientation by his youngest son, he was not complained about by his daughter-in-law. As a person with a special complex for the army, he doesn't help anyone on the surface, but he is still happy in his heart.

Shen Haijiang was worried that his granddaughter would be forced to join the army in the future, and there would be resistance in his heart, so he never felt particularly at ease. But now that I see that my little granddaughter can still mention the navy without being instilled by her family, this makes the stone in Old Man Shen's heart finally be able to let go.

With a little encouragement, Old Man Shen said to his little granddaughter, "Oh? Is it? Do you still know about the Navy? Tell me, what do you think would be better used for this thing? Are you saying we're going to put a few on our warships? ”

Shen Yiyi shook his head one by one. Just kidding, how much work this stuff will bring to you when you put it on a warship! Originally, the after-action of this machine gun was large, and it was enough to do the test and program it yourself in order to compensate for that displacement when firing. If you move to the ship, you will be at sea. This rocks and shakes with the waves, and it is even harder to aim. This experiment may not be completed in a few years. She is here to write her graduation thesis, not to make herself unable to finish her studies.

"Not on board, of course. Belch...... I mean...... It's not impossible to carry it on board. But not the direction of application of the results of this first generation. Because the situation on board is more complicated. With the current strength and conditions of our research group, I am afraid that it will not be possible to quickly develop a machine gun that can be used in the environment of the ship. After thinking about it one by one, Shen Yiyi still used a more euphemistic way to explain to his grandfather the fact that his achievements could not be applied to the ships of the navy.

Old Man Shen was not surprised. In fact, he also felt that Shen Yiyi's achievement was of little significance to being on the ship. It's not that there are no machine guns on board. In fact, most of the warships of our army carry not rifles, but machine guns. The reason is also very simple. It is because the boat is rocking, and the rifle must be practiced on the ship. The efficiency is not high, and the results are not good. So this weapon with only a little lethality is not the first choice. Conversely, line-kill and surface-kill weapons such as machine guns and grenades are often equipped. Because of the wide range of killing. Such a weapon would be able to counteract the ills of poor aiming caused by the rocking of the ship.

And the biggest advantage of this kind of automatic weapon developed by his little granddaughter may be that it is aimed very accurately so that it can save ammunition. If the aim is not accurate, it is still necessary to rely on the traditional line kill or surface kill to form combat power, then there is really no application meaning.

So Old Man Shen was not disappointed. Just followed the words of the little granddaughter and asked Shen Yiyi: "Really?" If it can't be used on ships, where do you say it is still being used? That's the Navy. None of them can be used on ships. How else can it be used in the navy? ”

According to the division of China's military and arms theaters, the areas responsible for the defense of the army, navy, and air force are determined by the names of the services. The Army, naturally, is responsible for all land battles. This land is actually our land. The rivers and lakes in the territory are also in the defense area of the army. So don't think that our army only has vehicles and tanks, which you have seen at military parades, our army also has water transportation equipment such as patrol boats and hovercraft, and of course, helicopters for army aviation. The Air Force, of course, is responsible for the airspace of our country. The low end of this airspace is above the ground and the high end is below space. The entire Chinese sky belongs to our air force.

The navy, of course, is in charge of the sea. It's not a river, it's not a river. Not a lake, but the sea. But in this era, our territorial waters are only 12 nautical miles. In addition, we do not have the ability to support the ocean, so the perennial activity area is still offshore. Specifically, you can manage within 500 meters of your boat.

So there was no problem at all for Old Man Shen to ask Shen Yiyi's question. You're not going to put it on a ship, so how can you call it for the navy?

Shen Yiyi had already made up his mind. She smiled at her grandfather: "Grandpa, you have forgotten, in fact, the navy has a mission to defend the 10,000-mile sea frontier of our great motherland. And is the basis of this 10,000-mile sea frontier the small islands and reefs all over China's waters? ”

That's right. Although in some island countries, the responsibility for the defense of islands in the sea lies with the army, but in China, the responsibility for the defense of islands is borne by the navy. In fact, it is mainly because the army's ships cannot cross the sea, and they can't manage such a far place. Our soldiers defending the islands of the Dongsha, Xisha and Nansha Islands all belong to the navy. And the Navy also has a team dedicated to seizing islands, called the Marine Corps.

Most ordinary Chinese do not know this knowledge. They take it for granted that the battles of the navy are all completed on ships, but they do not know that the navy actually has battles on land.

Old Man Shen was reminded by his granddaughter, this is to remember that there is indeed such a thing. He couldn't help but sigh that he had indeed left the army for too long, and he had forgotten that the navy still had such a combat function. If it weren't for his granddaughter mentioning this, he really didn't think about it. This old man has a terrible memory decay.

Still, he's happy. His granddaughter can know such unpopular military knowledge, it seems that she has an interest in the army. It's really been researched. How did he know that Shen Yiyi's common sense didn't need to be specially understood. That is completely the knowledge that Shen Yiyi, the female man in his previous life, has been mixed with a group of men all the year round because of his engineering work.

Old Man Shen asked Shen Yiyi: "By the way, if you don't say it, I almost forgot." Indeed, our navy is also responsible for the defense of the islands. So, you mean that the best places to apply this work of yours are on those islands? ”

Shen Yi nodded: "Yes." I think my work is the best on our southern islands. Grandpa, you see, all the people living in our southern islands have been divided between Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei. Left to ourselves are uninhabitable islands with no fresh water. Although we have built stilt houses on some islands, we are limited by the conditions and can only station a small number of people, and we are not able to resist the enemy's attack. And our home base is too far away from there, and in the event of a war, it will be difficult to arrive in time. This is the current state of our territory in the South China Sea. ”

Shen Yiyi's words made Old Man Shen very shocked. He knew that what his little granddaughter was saying was the truth. This information has long been reported to those who are in high temples. However, for the purpose of maintaining the main axis of peace and development, such information is restricted from being made public, so as not to affect social stability. But how did his little granddaughter know? Who told her? When will she have access to this information? These people are too undisciplined to keep secrets.

Shen Yiyi didn't know what was going on in his grandfather's head. She just followed her own train of thought and explained the reasons why she thought her results could be applied to a small island in the South China Sea.

"However, it would be convenient if we could build a pedestal on small islands that are not suitable for human habitation, and install an automatic machine gun of ours that has the initial function of being a war robot. As long as there is energy and there is no breakage, this machine gun can accurately and comprehensively defend our homeland, wounding and killing incoming enemies. If you connect to a satellite transmitter, you can also be notified of the news of the enemy attack in the base camp in time. What's more, it doesn't matter if the machine is destroyed even if it is hit by the enemy, and it will not sacrifice the precious lives of our fighters. (To be continued.) )
