Chapter 1674: Army Expectations
Yang Yuanzhao really wanted to see how much power this rocket artillery car had, the Soviet Union's Katyusha, but the German armored corps was terrified, but such a rocket artillery vehicle appeared a little late, and it only appeared in the late stage of World War II, and because of the high difficulty of production, the Soviet Union focused more on the production force of the armored force, except for a limited number of duels, there was no stage for rocket artillery.

China is not the same at present, the productive forces are extremely developed, even the 50-ton heavy tanks were made in advance in 1915, and even when other countries still did not have large-scale tanks, at least 200,000 tanks were equipped, but the productivity is still quite free, as long as the performance of the rocket artillery vehicle can be finalized, it will definitely be produced on a large scale.
It's a pity that it's getting late, Yang Yuanzhao after understanding, after arranging for tomorrow to conduct experiments at the army's heavy test site, he hurried home, rocket artillery car, but a weapon, even to a certain extent, is still an experimental weapon, such a weapon, there is not much difference one day earlier and one day later, it is estimated that it is also an experimental product, and it is really put into actual combat, it also needs more research, and it is impossible to officially install it.
To tell the truth, the technology of rockets is not difficult, in this era, that is, Yang Yuanzhao saw the benefits of this rocket artillery, the real development will not be until a few decades later, in order to solve the problem of Britain, Hitler seeks a target that can hit dozens of kilometers, or even hundreds of kilometers away, super cannon and V1 missiles are made in this way, on the basis of the development of bazookas, under the premise that the bazooka cannot expand its power, under the intentional or unintentional mention of Yang Yuanzhao, the volume was increased, and the power of larger-scale rockets was studied. Originally, it was for the purpose of doing some preliminary research on missiles, and in a certain sense, it can be regarded as a pre-research on future missiles, but in Yang Yuanzhao's view, this missile is still too far away, but who would have thought that rocket artillery would be made.
I didn't go to see it in person, but when Yang Yuanzhao went home, some information about the bazooka was sent to Yang Yuanzhao, and Yang Yuanzhao understood the development process of China's rocket artillery. Yang Yuanzhao somewhat underestimated the manufacturing process of the bazooka, in fact, even during World War II, as long as the processing of materials and materials was solved, the cost of rocket artillery was not high, and after World War II, rocket artillery was also known as a poor man's missile, and the large rocket artillery vehicle had a larger target, that is, a large country would equip it, and individual bazooka and RPG were popular, the most fundamental reason was that it was simple to make, extremely low cost and easy to carry.
China's current level of science and technology, although there is no comprehensive beyond the level of science and technology during the Second World War, but to a certain extent, not much apart, some unique technologies, China has even exceeded the level of World War II, for example, China in the field of materials science and engines, has surpassed the level of World War II, World War II to the later stage of the B29, China has been produced before 1915, and the performance is extremely good, whether it is the thrust-to-weight ratio carrying, or the maximum range, all crush the United States World War II B29, Not to mention the materials that only exist in fantasy made by using the all-in-one machine, with materials and engines, plus China's original fireworks and rockets, there is a considerable accumulation, and these combined words together constitute the current finished product.
In particular, the tradition of Chinese rockets, which was specially brought by Yang Yuanzhao, also attracted the attention of researchers, he was in the rocket research institute, but also specially selected a group of flower masters with great experience, these flower masters began to be a little overwhelmed, they are honest craftsmen, China's living conditions have improved, no one has consumed the flowers before, and now the consumption has surged, not only during the New Year's holidays, some wedding ceremonies, and even large-scale celebrations, will set off flowers, driven by all kinds of machines in ChinaThe flower masters have innovated and produced a lot of imaginative flowers.
At first, these ceremonial masters thought that they were asked to make special ceremonies for a certain celebration, similar public relations, which has also appeared several times in the past few years, but after asking clearly, it was actually for a strategic weapon, which is something that these ceremonial masters have never done, and suddenly, most of the ceremonial masters have retreated, only under the earnest request of the researchers, this has joined the research team, maybe these people can not have a very in-depth study of the theoretical aspect, There are even some times when I don't understand why the ceremonial flowers are like this, why the rockets are like that, but for thousands of years, the things that have been passed down by the laborers' words and deeds, they may not be very perfect in theory, but they have considerable strength in operability, and to a certain extent, it is their inspiration that solves the first physical object, promotes the substantial progress of the rocket, and finally forms a rocket artillery vehicle with combat effectiveness.
The things in the world are like this, even if it is science, with physical objects, some theoretical things, there will naturally be breakthroughs, many utopian dreams or theories, for a long time, there is no rapid development, the reason is often that there is no physical object, for example, graphene proposed in the mid-to-late 20th century, this material has been theoretically verified many principles, and even the bold assumptions of scientists have also obtained a lot of useful subjects, but they have not been synthesized. There is no such thing in nature, and the role of such materials is doubtful, and it was not until the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century that graphene was synthesized, and then a series of results were born.
The first finished rocket, is quite rudimentary, even the full weight is only 150 kilograms, the range is not more than 7 kilometers, but it provides a lot of data for the experiment, a new type of weapon, although it is said to be born from the bazooka, but when a weapon is enlarged, the technology used, and the reduction is completely different, in a sense, the artillery is also an enlarged version of the gun, all in a confined steel space, with gunpowder to push the object at the front end to attack, can be a cannonball, can also be a bullet, However, the theory and the applicable technology are very different.
In the imagination, it is difficult for the project to be greatly promoted, even if it is only a not very mature finished product, but it has accumulated a large scale of experimental data, the data is always the most talkative, modified on the poorer finished product, and finally obtained a better finished product, which is also the consistent method of Chinese research, next, the researcher made persistent efforts, kept making breakthroughs, and achieved fruitful results, with the birth of such an epoch-making weapon.
Because it is a project led by Yang Yuanzhao, on the rocket, the personnel are quite in place, and there is a lot of money to promote, whether it is useful or not, first get one, when the first experimental rocket comes out, and then gradually increase, and finally form a combat effectiveness one, that is, the current rocket artillery vehicle, the rocket uses liquid fuel under the premise, it has a range of 60 kilometers, and the weight of a single rocket reaches 450 kg, with the help of the engine, it can fly far away, and the power is also quite large.
After basically understanding the situation, Yang Yuanzhao began to be full of expectations for the rocket artillery car, this weapon that was brilliant in World War II, if used well, the power will be quite amazing, after all, although the rocket artillery is not easy to load, the continuous firepower is not comparable to the artillery, but as long as the loading is completed, the limit firepower is not too fierce, the 12-tube rocket artillery vehicle can send out 12 rocket shells in dozens of seconds, and the power of rocket artillery shells is not comparable to artillery shells. Although the penetration is insufficient, the advantages of range and explosion are more than compensated, especially against unprotected infantry and some light armor, and it is a nightmare for them to be caught fire by a large number of rocket artillery vehicles.
This weapon, with good use, is enough to change a local battlefield, seize the opportunity, and have a special effect of annihilating the enemy who is oppressed in a small area at one time, so that when encircling the enemy, there is no longer a need to forcibly attack the fortification, just cover it with rocket artillery vehicles, for such things as rocket artillery vehicles, Yang Yuanzhao is very interested, in order to participate in this exercise, the next day, he pushed off some of the less important work and went to the artillery test site,
Yang Yuanzhao in Baotou, it is considered to be a good day, he wants to push off a morning's work, there are a lot of things involved, and the movement is a little bigger, when the news comes out, the whole Baotou has spread, in Baotou, in the entire Chinese military, a lot of people pay attention to Yang Yuanzhao's actions, Yang Yuanzhao in 1913, after the outbreak of the European War, rarely shot on weapons, most of the research was handed over to the research institute, but a limited number of shots, but it was amazing, whether it was a single bazooka, Or anti-tank weapons, all have a huge role, now such a big guy, the weight of the 12-barrel rocket artillery vehicle, almost compared to the last medium tank, as long as such a weapon is completed, it must be a key weapon of the army, and they can't help but pay attention to it.
Because Yang Yuanzhao's participation was only a small-scale exercise, the scale expanded rapidly, including Jiang Baili, president of the Northwest Military Academy, Feng Yuxiang, commander-in-chief of the army, and Zhou Guangju, chief of the general staff, and other high-level army leaders, gathered together, and the remaining commanders of the real power division commanders and the like, also came to a large number of people, in the noise, ushered in the debut of the rocket artillery vehicle, not to mention the huge scale, the rocket artillery also quietly on the list of many real power generals, if this is a suitable for the army, worth paying attention to the weapon, The army will definitely make large-scale purchases, even if someone will pay for a series of expenses for rocket artillery research before.
