Chapter 161: Proper Black Technology (II) (24)

Seeing Berekov like this, everyone in the reception room looked at each other, as if they felt their gaffe, Berekov quickly picked up the water cup on the side and poured it twice, which calmed down his excited heart a little, so he smiled and sighed bitterly at the strange-looking people, and then slowly talked about his affairs in the Soviet Union. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It turned out that when the new generation of 57mm anti-aircraft guns in the Soviet Union was about to be finalized, Berekov led his group to withdraw the development team of the 57mm anti-aircraft guns in order to start the development of the Gatling rapid-fire gun.

That is, when carrying out hard-kill interception of aircraft, it is not that the larger the caliber of the antiaircraft artillery, the more effective it is, on the contrary, because of the problem of rate of fire and mobility, the performance of large-caliber antiaircraft guns in actual air defense combat is not satisfactory, but the results achieved by those small-caliber rapid-fire antiaircraft guns with light weight and fast rate of fire are more obvious.

Therefore, Berekov came to the conclusion that when using antiaircraft artillery to carry out air defense operations, the important thing is not the power of a single shell, but the density of firepower projected to the target area at the same time.

It is based on this conclusion that Berekov began to explore the research of rapid-fire guns as early as before World War II, but just after the improvement, it was interrupted by the tragic Soviet-German war.

So taking advantage of the great opportunity of further consolidation and development of the Soviet military industry after the war, Berekov and his students and assistants began a new round of rapid-fire artillery exploration.

Berekov originally thought that this new weapon, which might raise the strength of the Soviet air defense forces by several levels, would be recognized by the Soviet military, but he did not expect that before the report on the application for the project was submitted, it was besieged by those Soviet generals who had experienced the smoke of World War II.

As for the simple reason, these Soviet generals clung to the large-caliber anti-aircraft guns with the so-called "experience of the Great Patriotic War" and did not let go, because those seemingly bulky large-caliber anti-aircraft guns were not only capable of hitting planes in the sky, but also good anti-tank artillery if necessary.

During World War II, the most famous was the German 88 gun, which was a well-known killer of combat aircraft in the air, and it was able to name any tank in the world at that time directly on the ground, which was a big deal without it in the sky and on the ground, and similar to the number of 85mm anti-aircraft guns, and the same was true for the 100mm anti-aircraft guns after that.

It is precisely because of this complex that the Soviet generals have a particularly deep affection for large-caliber anti-aircraft artillery, so when they heard that Berekov intended to use egg-sized rapid-fire guns to replace large-caliber anti-aircraft guns that can bombard the sky, they immediately exploded.

You must know that in the Soviet Union at that time, those highly decorated generals had a great right to speak, especially in the development of armaments, and often the sentence "The experience of the Great Patriotic War tells us ......" is equivalent to closing the coffin.

Therefore, Berekov can be described as a complete defeat, the development team was disbanded, the funds were completely deprived, and even the title of chief designer was deprived, if it were not for Korolev's help, the next thing that awaited him might be exile in Siberia......

"Really, if I had changed my perspective at that time and not blindly insisted on land air defense and field air defense, but instead included them in the Air Force, perhaps I would not have suffered such a fate, even if I did not receive support, but the basic research and development could still continue, alas...... Speaking of which, it's just my stupid head that I don't know what flexibility is......

Look, what do I do when I say so many unhappy things? By the way, Comrade Bai Yi, where has your progress been? Also, I look at the picture of your ammunition feeding system, which seems to be different from the traditional rapid-fire weapon feeding method! ”

Berekov also felt that his words were a bit too much today, after all, it involved sensitive topics in the Soviet Union, although he had done a vague treatment, it was not good to be listened to by others after all, so he quickly collected his mood and turned the topic to the drawings in front of him.

Whether it is the head of the General Logistics Department or Bai Yi present, they are all people with transparent eyebrows, they are interested in the struggle within the Soviet Union, but it is limited to gossip and interesting things, their core now is to do everything possible to achieve their own goals, otherwise Bai Yi would not have worked hard to produce two weapon prototypes in the past three months, what is a equipment design sketch for?

The so-called is not to let the Baiyun Factory go further, want to let China's military industry to a new level, because of this, Berekov's words, Bai Yi and others in addition to thinking that it is a good breakthrough to achieve the goal, did not pay attention to it at all, seeing that Berekov finally turned to the current problem, Bai Yi hurriedly responded without hesitation: "Yes, our bomb supply equipment uses a system called chainless bomb feeding. ”

"Chainless bomb feeding system?" Berekov looked at the sketch and frowned, as if he was thinking about something, while Bai Yi nodded: "That's right, it is the chainless ammunition feeding system, the reason why this system is used is because after our stress calculation, when the 30mm three-barreled rapid-fire gun is in operation, due to the high rate of fire, the ordinary bullet chain is very easy to deform, bend and even break under high-speed pulling, resulting in jamming, which leads to the failure of the entire weapon."

That's why we've used an electrically powered chainless feeding system. In the chainless feeding system, the shells are stored in a tamp-shaped device, and an Archimedes screw is mounted inside the drum, along which the ammunition is arranged. When the screw rotates, the ammunition is "squeezed" into a closed flexible bomb chute and sent all the way to the gun, which is like a meat grinder.

However, the non-chain supply of ammunition is not really without a bullet chain, but there is no bullet chain that tightly "grasps" guns and shells in the traditional sense. The chainless ammunition feeding system uses an open bullet chain to transport ammunition, which is actually equivalent to the conveyor chain on the industrial assembly line, but it must be conveyed in a closed ammunition chute, otherwise the conveyor chain that "can't catch" the shell will let the ammunition fall out......"

"Oh my God, it's incredible." Without waiting for Bai Yi to finish speaking, Berekov couldn't help but exclaim, and directly startled Korolev and the others next to him, but Berekov didn't care so much: "Just use such an Archimedes screw rod...... I didn't expect it at the time, two years, two whole years, why didn't I think of it, Comrade Bai Yi, your method is too incredible, really, I have never admired anyone in my life, but Bai Yi you are one of them! ”

As soon as Berekov's words came out, everyone in the audience was stunned, and Bai Yi also showed a look of surprise at the scene, but he pouted indifferently in his heart: "Amazing, of course it's amazing, this is the core achievement of the US imperialists that took 20 years to get out, proper black technology, in the face of such a big move, if you old hairy people don't kneel anymore, I, Bai Yi, will have your surname!" ”
