Chapter 479: Incendiary Air Weapon

Yang Mingzhi said: "As far as the propellant of rocket-boosted grenades and recoilless guns in actual combat is concerned, because it is black powder, its gunpowder gas is certainly very large. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The smoke not only exposed our firepower, but also blinded the shooters. To solve this problem, we have to work on a new type of propellant. ”

Rygushkov, not knowing what he was selling, stated: "At the present level of our production capacity, aluminum powder is needed to produce low-smoke gunpowder, and this additive is difficult to obtain. Even if you don't have aluminum, you can replace it with some metal powder. ”

"Of course, the efficiency of gunpowder, which can react thermite, is naturally greatly improved. But shouldn't we think differently? About the charge of the rocket propulsion department, and the charge of the warhead? ”

"New ideas?" Riguskov's eyes widened, "The chief must already have a plan, why bother making a fool of himself here?" ”

"Well, in that case, I'll make it clear, and I hope you listen carefully, because I'm worried that you may not understand."

"You just say that although my education level is not high, I am also an old man who has been working in the military industry since the days of Tsarist Russia."

Yang Mingzhi lowered his head slightly and smiled. Is it easy for people of this age to understand their own knowledge?

After organizing his words, he raised his head and said: "Our conventional weapons, such as firearms, are nothing more than gunpowder gas pushing projectiles to kill targets at high speed, and artillery is also a violent explosion of artillery shells, relying on shock waves and shrapnel to kill the enemy. In the current war, the Soviet Red Army has begun to intensively use rocket artillery, and the propulsion charge based on cheap black powder or gray powder has been used to complete the warhead push. How do these models differ from the Napoleonic Wars of the last century, in my opinion? If you want to change, change from the core. ”

"Core? Do we use new types of propellants, new types of explosives? I can't do this, I have to rely on Ryvanov. Rygushkov's body was inexplicably excited, and he was not in a hurry to question to the end, and the chief was obviously halfway through his words.

Yang Mingzhi smiled slightly, he puffed up his chest and looked confident.

"The explosive pressure of the shell is strong enough, for example, to blow up the enemy's tank with a large-caliber naval gun, and the result is complete destruction! Or use a denser tungsten alloy to smash through armor at a higher muzzle velocity. But once the enemy increases the thickness of the armor, our RPG will only be able to complete the destruction by increasing the amount of explosives. However, when the armor is thick enough, our weapons will eventually fail. But there is one weapon capable of ignoring all this, and that is deflagrated fuel. ”

Sure enough, Yang Mingzhi noticed that Riguskov looked confused.

"Fuel-fueled weapons, such as putting alcohol or gasoline in a glass bottle with a piece of cloth on top of it, igniting it and throwing it, can burn out enemy tanks and cause internal fires."

Yang Mingzhi nodded: "Your words are already a little close to what I meant. ”

This middle-aged man can be said to be ignorant of the possibility of future wars, including the generals of this era, who simply cannot imagine the intensity of future wars. Under the current mode of warfare, the power of superior weapons is not enough to manifest itself, and what determines the victory of a war is still the comprehensive national strength and the technical and tactical capabilities of the armed forces.

In future wars, high-tech weapons will become more and more important, so much so that the most powerful United States can win the Kosovo war with its air force alone. In this era, Goering boasted that he had attacked Britain with 2,500 planes to force Britain to surrender, which was really bragging.

At this juncture in history, it is difficult for Yang Mingzhi to be a bystander. As for the current remnants of the Soviet army, if it were not for his excellent command, thousands of them would have turned into white bones.

The current situation is still grim, and in the case of limited manpower and material resources, the only way to strengthen one's own armament is to create some black technology. Therefore, during this time, he had an armament plan in his mind - the production of incendiary air bombs.

He continued: "All tanks have gaps so much that if they fall into a river, they will sink. Perhaps some anti-tank guns and rocket-boosted grenades will be difficult to penetrate some tanks with exaggerated armor thickness, and they will inevitably still have gaps. We just need to let the high-temperature and high-pressure gas pass through these gaps and enter the inside of the tank. Just imagine, the heat of 2,000 degrees even boiled steel, not to mention the driver inside? ”

Lygushkov was even more puzzled by this. "Sir, I'm a little stupid. You're trying to make a high-temperature and high-pressure weapon, but does it exist? ”

"Of course it is!" Yang Mingzhi patted his chest and assured: "They already exist, but the purpose of the weapon has not yet been discovered. For example...... "At this point, Yang Mingzhi really doesn't know how to pronounce hydrazine hydrate in Russian, even if he writes the chemical formula now, this old guy can't understand it."

"Forget it, anyway, it is a chemical agent that reacts with nitric acid, and the compound produced is a particularly good rocket fuel."

"Rocket fuel?" Rygushkov knew better than Yang Mingzhi the dangers of excessive gunpowder gas, and he was full of energy: "I can't do the work of chemistry, Ivanov's laboratory is still trying to produce picric acid, maybe he can produce what you need." Once this new type of rocket thruster is produced, I think I can make rockets with a very long range. ”

"It's inevitable." Yang Mingzhi waved his hand, "The comrades in the design department will provide a suitable starting plan, you are mentally prepared, I will produce real large-scale rockets on a large scale sooner or later." The previous mount on the Podovich fighter is just the beginning, and in the future our products will be even more powerful. But I must say that this fuel can also be used as a weapon, after all, it is a compound with a detonation speed of one second and eight kilometers. ”

TNT has a detonation speed of 7 kilometers per second, and the new compound detonation speed is even higher, and it seems that there is not much difference between the two. Yang Mingzhi explained seriously: "After ordinary explosives release energy in an instant, the earth quickly returns to calm. But what I'm going to build, it's not an explosion, it's an instantaneous burn-out, and this deflagration creates a lot of pressure and a lot of heat, and it works for a few seconds. That's enough to burn the enemy! But the killing hasn't stopped. ”

"Not stopped?" Rigushkov could not understand what this meant.

"The damage will continue, because deflagration requires the consumption of oxygen in the air, and once we use these new weapons intensively, there will be a continuous state of anaerobic in the battlefield where the enemy is charging. No matter how thick the enemy's armor is, people have to breathe, and in front of the defensive position, it can really be made into a place of mortal terror. ”

Although he didn't know what it was, Rygushkov understood the slow malice in these words. It can bring ultra-high temperature and ultra-high pressure, and can create a hypoxic state. The idea of killing the enemy is not a physical and mechanical blow, but a direct attack on the organism. I'm afraid that if I have been attacked by this weapon, I am afraid that the microorganisms on the earth will also be burned to death, and listening to the commander, it seems to be purgatory.

Yang Mingzhi vaguely noticed that this person's body was trembling slightly, and it seemed that he was startled.

"I'm done talking, and I'm just saying that the new weapon is just fuel. It's just that no one thinks about it, and its deflagration is several times more powerful than ordinary weapons! No one in the entire USSR studied this, I just made a start, and now ask your heart, Rygushkov. Yang Mingzhi stood up and patted his chest, there was still a medal hanging on it. Do you want to be a Hero of the Soviet Union? Then get ready and follow me. (To be continued.) )
