Chapter 510: Improved Propellant
The unexpected event did not interfere with the work of the arsenal and the design bureau, and after learning that Yang Mingzhi would not come in the evening, Rygushkov simply made weapons independently. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He did not know in what proportion ammonium nitrate fertilizer and sawdust were mixed as explosives, but this problem was easy to solve, and the capable people of the Weapons Design Bureau quickly estimated the appropriate proportion, and Rigushkov did not hesitate to begin to mix them. In addition, ammonium nitrate and potassium nitrate, which is a necessary substance for black powder, have a slight similarity in chemical properties. "Since Berekov decided that it was an excellent rocket propellant, he simply mixed it into gunpowder."
He was very bold, and in a separate room, began the preparation of new potions.
What Rigushkoff did was mix the remaining fertilizer with black powder. He knew that the violent friction of the stirring would cause a fire, and that this dangerous task would naturally be handled by the old fellow himself.
The glass rod stirs the potion in a beaker converted from a wine bottle, and the propellant is mixed.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "It's best if it's safe, now I can build a propulsion rocket." ”
The workers were worried about starting work without Yang Mingzhi's permission. Rygushkov patted his chest and declared that all the blame was his, and then, driven by curiosity, everyone opposed the new plan.
In order to ensure adequate security, a separate wooden house was selected for the weapon crafting location. It's very dry and the people involved in the operation are very experienced.
Two kerosene lamps hang from the dome of the wooden house, and in this dim light, an RPG with ammonium nitrate is being made.
Before the warhead is loaded with a fuse, the mixed ammonium nitrate is carefully filled, and finally the collision fuse is inserted. The propelled rocket is a cylinder made of thin iron plates, and the propellant is wrapped in paper and stuffed into it......
Everything is working in order, as if producing a normal type of rocket-boosted grenade.
Nowadays, such weapons are being produced at a rapid pace, and the daily production has reached fifty! There is no shortage of important metal materials, what is lacking is high-energy explosives. Rigushkov has always worried that if picric acid and TNT cannot keep up with the supply, he can only use the inferior compressed black powder explosives, so that the performance of the weapon in combat will be greatly reduced.
Looking at the busy workers, Rygushkov encouraged: "Everyone must be careful, we have completed these two experiments tomorrow." If the mixed agent can achieve twice the result with half the effort, our future material shortage problem will be solved. ”
The arsenal does not stop at night, and after the resumption of production, the production of various weapons has increased every day. Various workshops and teams are working on this, and newly produced weapons and ammunition are rapidly filling the overstretched warehouses.
There is still a lot to say to Yang Mingzhi about ammunition, and the commander must know about some problems encountered in production.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, the new weapon was finally manufactured, and all the workers involved in the production were relieved.
After the various parts of these two rocket-boosted grenades have been assembled, there is nothing special about them on the surface, but the internal medicine has added a fierce medicine -- ammonium nitrate
"Everyone has worked hard, let's go to the cafeteria for a supper! Bring the weapons back to the warehouse, let's go now! Rygushkov gave the order, and the workers set off happily.
A few hours later, the sun rises as usual, the morning trumpet sounds at dawn, and the warriors get up to start their day.
The new weapon is calmly housed in the warehouse, and theoretically just plug it into the RPG launcher and gently pull the trigger, and its explosive power will be extremely ferocious! With more thrust, higher muzzle velocity, and more ferocious impacts, Rygushkov slept peacefully with a smile. "Tomorrow Berekov will only praise me, and an enhanced RPG will come into being!"
……
In mid-March, the days are getting longer. The morning horn sounded early, and the dormant people got up one after another to devote themselves to the production and construction of the new day.
The vast number of soldiers quickly put their internal affairs in order, cleaned them all in a very short time, and went straight to the canteen. After they devoured their stomachs, they immediately began their daily physical training to ensure that they always had sufficient physical strength to carry out mobile combat.
After waking up, Yang Mingzhi supported his head as expected, and said that he would continue to do research, but he still drank too much.
Star fruit has already woken up early, just like an ordinary housewife cleaning the house. The girl glanced at her husband and saw that she was already sitting upright.
"You're awake! Do you still have to go to the division headquarters for a meeting today, or go to the arsenal? I've already brought you the bread, and it's ready to eat now. The girl said casually, and the work in her hands did not stop.
"It's so hard for you." Yang Mingzhi got off the ground and quickly changed his clothes.
The time delayed yesterday must be made up for today, and the weapons test can be carried out yesterday, and there will be no emergencies today! The task assigned by Yang Mingzhi to his wife was to follow the class, and she and Natasha did not participate in any physical training early in the morning. The two girls were led by Yang Mingzhi together and went directly to the arsenal.
Walking on the path in the village, soldiers run past from time to time. The villagers also hurriedly walked through with farm tools and rushed to the outside of the village to reclaim. A wisp of black smoke rose from the forest, where the blast furnace was melting new metal.
"I don't know what happened to what I told them yesterday." Yang Mingzhi muttered to himself, never thought that his wife would answer and told him what he wanted to hear the most.
"Brother! Just now Rigushkov sent someone, and I didn't bother you while you were still resting. As for yesterday's weapon, the arsenal has been made, just waiting for you to test it in the morning. ”
"How did they get it done?!" Yang Mingzhi was stunned in place, holding his wife's shoulders with both hands, "Say it quickly!" What did they make? ”
With star fruit closed, how can these professional questions be known? The girl twisted her body and shook her head impatiently: "You ask me, who do I ask?" Hurry up and go to the arsenal and go directly to Rygushkov. ”
"Yes, yes, right, ......" weapon manufacturing is the top priority in Yang Mingzhi's heart at the moment, and he ran wildly towards the place where the black smoke was emitting, and directly saw Rygushkov who was talking and laughing outdoors.
The chief suddenly arrived, and this one seemed extremely excited, but the next second he was faced with the captain's angry face.
"I heard you've used up all the fertilizer I brought yesterday? How can you disobey my orders and deploy weapons without permission? What exactly do you make? Can you guarantee that the weapon is suitable? ”
Rigushkov put on a very confident expression, "Of course, I can guarantee that the weapon is right in front of you." ”
Following the direction of his finger, he saw two rocket-booster grenades lying on the ground, ostensibly similar to the ordinary model, and Rygushkov patted his chest and said that it was added. "The warhead is filled with explosives mixed with chemical fertilizer and wood chips, and the propellant is black powder mixed with chemical fertilizer."
According to his introduction, the missile warhead is an industrial explosive mixed with ammonium nitrate and wood chips, and the rear end is an enhanced version of black powder propellant. There is no problem with the latter, Yang Mingzhi asked himself, let himself improve the propellant of the rocket, adding ammonium nitrate is simple and easy, the problem lies in the former, he asked loudly: "The explosives need the correct proportion, and I haven't told you the ratio yet." Who can guarantee that it will explode and not burn? ”
"I can guarantee it!" Popov stood up from the crowd. "Sir, we know a little bit about chemistry, and the mixing ratio of potions is in the chemical equation! We have university students from Moscow, and the problem has been quickly resolved. ”
"It's already settled?!" If it is this person's sworn guarantee, Yang Mingzhi believes that his words are true.
I didn't expect to have to delay the matter by drinking with the group of people at the division headquarters yesterday, but in fact, nothing was delayed, according to the original plan, a rocket should have been built to test the equipment effect of ammonium nitrate, and now it has become an RPG.
"Alright! Now that the weapon has been produced, we can experiment right away. Yang Mingzhi's frowning brow has calmed down, and the high-thrust RPG experiment is about to begin.
