According to the plan, the current task of the design bureau is to get the rocket artillery and its supporting launch system out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The mission plan has been arranged, and as the commander-in-chief, Yang Mingzhi cannot just supervise from the sidelines, he must take the lead in this regard and participate in the huge calculations.

Because this weapon was due to the problems of the times and the degree of technology, it had to be borrowed from Katyusha.

Yang Mingzhi knew very well that the army of the new China in later generations made the best individual rocket artillery system, and the model of its propellant was called Heiju 2, which is a compacted incomparably dense cylindrical solid fuel, and its performance characteristics are that the propulsion strength is strong and the smoke after combustion is small.

In previous battles, the recoilless guns of the troops had fired black powder, and the huge smoke they brought was so lethal that many teams had to fire a shot to change positions.

It's a pity that there is no new type of propellant that can completely replace black powder now, and even if ammonium nitrate is added, it can only be added in small doses.

Yang Mingzhi divided the personnel of the design bureau and some of the technicians of the arsenal involved in research and development into four groups. One group is responsible for the launch tubes and brackets, one group is responsible for the trigger ignition and sighting system, one group is responsible for the propulsion department, and one group is responsible for the warhead.

The four groups should complete their own work, and they should also talk about the integration of the achievements of other groups, and Yang Mingzhi is responsible for the most critical overall planning. The results of the research and development of the four groups were finally put together in his own hands, and now he has begun to draw on the yellowed paper produced by the blacksmith village (saving paper, not precious airdrops) with a wooden ruler, a wooden compass and a pencil.

If the development of this weapon was made from scratch, it would have taken too much time.

What kind of rocket artillery system to make, Yang Mingzhi knows in his heart -- the model of PF98 should be followed as much as possible, at least in appearance.

You can't use a lot of glass fiber reinforced phenolic plastics, you can't use special fiberglass, you can't use these high-efficiency organic materials, you can only use steel and copper, and the final product is probably heavy enough.

As soon as he thought of this, Yang Mingzhi was worried. But after thinking about it, Lao Maozi's nickname is the polar bear, but they have endless brute strength, even if they are holding the launch tube plus the rocket artillery inside, the total weight is twenty or thirty kilograms, this is really difficult?

……

Once you devote yourself to scientific research, time passes before you know it.

There was a commotion outside the design department, and then the guards called several times and no one responded, so they simply opened them and ushered in the women of the cafeteria who were waiting with baskets.

It was only at this time that Yang Mingzhi suddenly realized: "Is it my delusion?" I've just started working and it's already late night? ”

His confidant Abram admired his commander very much, and he said with concern: "It's already one o'clock in the morning!" The chief is diligent in his work, so he should eat some food to replenish his strength. ”

He didn't say that he didn't pay attention, so saying it was like a wake-up call to his stomach, and he was grunting endlessly.

Yang Mingzhi was happy, and just stood up, only to feel that his legs were sore and he sat back on the stool.

"Hey, hey! I've been sitting for so long that I can't stand up! Abram, come and give me a hand! ”

From the time of dinner to this supper, nearly six hours passed. At present, all the tables in the design department are covered with a variety of papers, and there are dense texts on them, and it is not enough to urgently vacate a place for supper.

Yang Mingzhi ordered: "Comrades in the cafeteria, you put the completion on the ground. ”

None of them dared to disobey, and they hurried out of the office with a slight smile.

There was nothing special about the supper, just some black bread cubes, which were already a little dry. There are still a few canned sauerkraut in the basket, so that this "rusk" is not particularly shabby, it can be regarded as a "migrant meal" at most.

Everyone was divided into supper, and everyone sat in their places and munched beautifully. It is impossible to say that you are not tired after working for several hours in a row, and the excitement that everyone has maintained unanimously has not shown fatigue, but now it is relaxed and tired.

"Hurry up and eat! We are planning to continue the fight and know to see the newborn sun! Yang Mingzhi encouraged loudly.

However, the response was not loud, and the morale was significantly lowered, after all, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

Yang Mingzhi shrugged, judging from the struggle of these few hours alone, it can be said that the line of research is completely correct. Each of the four teams was well designed, and through the previous information and the necessary shooting targets required by the commander, a lot of results have been obtained.

If the overall progress of the study was 100 percent, it is now 30 percent complete.

It is completely impossible to swallow a fat man in one bite, Yang Mingzhi estimates that it will take ten days to really complete this research and development at the earliest, but judging from the current progress, it is not possible to work here day and night, and the first test bomb can be built in a week.

So still need to really work until the sun rises?

Yang Mingzhi deliberately clapped his hands vigorously and shouted: "Everyone listens to me now!" Here I announce a good news, we have been in the assault research and development for four hours, and the new rocket launcher has already been developed, at least the prototype is there, and the rest is a lot of details! I can tell everyone is getting tired! In a state of fatigue, huge mathematical calculations are prone to errors, so we should rest!

Since our research results have exceeded my psychological expectations, and we have completed the phased plan in advance, we will simply finish this meal and go back to the dormitory to sleep! ”

It was precisely because everyone had exhausted a lot of energy that after getting this promise, although it was different from the plan, as long as it was the order of the commander, they had to obey it, and everyone collectively shouted Ulla.

After eating, he left, and the researcher, who was still a little worried that he would be tired from lying on the workbench, was now refreshed and began to talk to his colleagues about something else.

Yang Mingzhi turned a blind eye to this, after all, there was a chance to go home early to accompany his wife to roll the sheets, what is not better? After eating, he slapped his ass and left, but Popov came over with a rusk.

The man said earnestly, "Sir! I now have a bold idea to build on the current R&D process and start another branch! ”

Yang Mingzhi became vigilant on the spot, squinted his eyes and said solemnly: "You mean to improve the current R&D roadmap?" ”

"That's right! I think there is room for improvement in the current R&D. Since the core of rocket artillery is the warhead and propulsion, the two teams are also designing their own designs, and it is up to you to decide in the end.

I am mainly responsible for the research and development of the warhead, so we still follow the model of rocket-boosted grenades, so that the propulsion part of the rocket artillery is fixed, and the warhead can be replaced with different types of warheads, so isn't it particularly convenient? ”

After his words were finished, Yang Mingzhi fell into deep thought.

This is a constructive suggestion, in the sense that rocket-boosted grenades and rocket artillery are one family. Therefore, the RPG7 imitated by the new China in later generations, according to its caliber, was named a 40 mm bazooka and a 60 mm bazooka, but they were not rockets at all.

Popov asked tentatively, "How?" Deputy Divisional Commander, is my proposal out of place? Or is it ......"

"Your proposal is fine!" Yang Mingzhi seemed to have thought clearly, and immediately expressed his attitude, and looked at the deputy director of his design bureau sincerely: "Popov, your proposal is indeed as you say, it is a branch of our research and development."

Here we must understand what is called a rocket artillery shell and what is called a rocket-boosted grenade. In fact, I also have a conceptual weapon in mind, which is to increase the range of howitzer shells by installing a rocket, which I call a rocket range extender.

However, the reason why rocket artillery is called rocket artillery is that the warhead and the propulsion department are integrated into a whole. So what you're proposing is actually a rocket-boosted grenade with an outer diameter of 70 mm that we already have equipped. ”

Being pointed out by the commander like this, Popov was completely clear. Undeterred, he continued: "So the chief thinks that my proposal is a direction of development? ”

"That's right!" Yang Mingzhi is definitely affirmative, but everyone is obviously studying rocket artillery, how can this person think about RPG, it is because of divergent thinking.

I really don't know if I don't ask, but after asking a little, Yang Mingzhi suddenly realized and slapped his head: "Oops! My mind is full of those hydrazine nitrates, how can I be so careless and forget the cylinder of ethylene oxide! ”
