The Wind and Thunder jet engine has just been successfully tested in its first flight test, and good news has come from Bofors Defense Company, Xiao Weiguo's original design of the rotary tube gun has successfully manufactured five prototype guns, and is about to prepare for fire testing! Such a good thing is really joyful! Xiao Weiguo hurriedly flew back to Sweden from Germany to participate in the test of the Vulcan Cannon, you must know that he is very much looking forward to the performance of the Vulcan Cannon! Once such a powerful weapon appears, it will give the world another powerful deterrent weapon. Especially when you put it on a fighter jet, it's a living killer!

When they arrived at the test site of the Bofors Defense factory, Karl was also there, and they hadn't seen each other for more than two months, and both of them were embarrassed! Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Weiguo has changed from joining Bofors Defense Company to becoming the chairman of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, and now Dragon Soul Ordnance has developed into a large Ordnance Group that can be ranked in the world, which makes them feel as if they are in a dream.

Now the birth of the Vulcan cannon is full of hope for the future of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry Complex!

Carl said excitedly: "Philip, how did you feel about this trip to China?" I heard that China is a country with a very long history, but it is very poor and backward, can our Dragon Soul Aircraft Manufacturing Company take root there? ”

Xiao Weiguo said with a smile: "Mr. Karl, China is indeed very backward now, but it is precisely because of its backwardness that we will have greater opportunities." When China develops, the market there will be bigger than Europe! This time, our investment in China has been very successful, we have obtained a controlling stake in the joint venture, and in the future we can also move the manufacture of weapons such as the Vulcan cannon there, so that the Chinese branch will become another large branch after the European headquarters. ”

Karl smiled evilly: "Philip, Anna is staying in China now, are you willing to do it?" ”

Xiao Weiguo said with a smile: "I am career-oriented." Mr. Karl, our Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium has a long way to go to develop into the world's most powerful Ordnance Industry Group! ”

Carl laughed, "Okay, kidding you!" Today, our Vulcan cannon is about to conduct its first live-fire target test, and after countless improvements, it can finally enter the final sprint stage! Hopefully it will pass the test smoothly today! We are counting on it to make us more money! ”

Xiao Weiguo nodded and said, "Okay." Here we go! ”

The five prototype guns are all enclosed operating spaces, and this Vulcan can be used as both shipborne and local anti-aircraft guns, so it also has an armored shield to protect the gunner. All five prototypes are now securely seated on a level concrete floor and bolted to the ground. As soon as the Vulcan cannon fired, Xiao Weiguo knew best how shocking that scene was.

The first thing to test is the basic performance of the Vulcan cannon, to see its rate of fire and range. and the size of the shell dispersion.

Xiao Weiguo wants to personally operate the Vulcan cannon this time, after all, this is the principle he proposed and the overall design, and he is no stranger to the operation of the Vulcan cannon, I think he also participated in China's Ludun 2000 artillery integrated air defense system, that is, a vehicle-mounted air defense system composed of 7 barrels of 30 mm rotary tube guns and short-range air defense missiles.

The current Vulcan cannon is designed according to the 730 gun of that year, but it has been modified to a certain extent according to the level of materials and machining of this era, and it naturally cannot be compared with the Land Shield 2000 in terms of firepower density and the power of the shells, but during the entire World War II. Definitely going to be a terrible weapon.

Is it possible to reach a maximum rate of fire of 4000 rounds per minute? Xiao Weiguo is not sure, as long as there are no major failures in this test, it is already thankful. A powerful artillery gun takes a long time from design to realization, and then, like an airplane, it has to be tested and constantly modified to achieve the best combat effectiveness.

It was with great excitement. Xiao Weiguo, Carl, and a tester walked into the operation room of the first prototype gun together. This operation room is not large, and three people can barely squeeze in, because in the future it will only need to be on the battlefield at most, and under normal circumstances, only two people will be needed. Even one person can operate it. The Vulcan Cannon was originally an automatic cannon, which relied on external power to rotate the barrel, and did not rely on gunpowder gas to drive the barrel, unlike the early Gatling gun, which used a hand crank to drive the barrel.

The Vulcan cannon is aimed at a giant target three thousand meters away, and all you need to do is aim the Vulcan cannon at this target and shoot. Finally, the tester will use the bullet hole on this target to measure and calculate, to see if the shell dispersion area of the Vulcan cannon meets the design requirements, the target is a layer of 1.5 cm wooden board, and there is a smaller 2 cm thick steel plate behind, this time not only to test the rate of fire and dispersion area of the Vulcan cannon, but also to test how powerful its shell is, whether it can penetrate the 2 cm thick steel plate at a distance of 3,000 meters.

Xiao Weiguo carefully inspected the various mechanical parts of this Vulcan cannon again, he didn't want any accidents to happen during the operation, after confirming that it was correct, Xiao Weiguo said to Carl: "Mr. Karl, let's put on the earmuffs, as soon as the Vulcan cannon starts, the number of decibels of the sound is very high, and it is easy to damage hearing in this confined space." ”

Carl nodded, and all three of them silently took out the earmuffs from the lockers in the operation room and put them on, and they were about to open fire, and all three of them looked excited and nervous! Not only them, but also the test personnel outside were very nervous, these Vulcan cannons were new weapons that they had been working on for two years to create. They all put a lot of affection and effort into this cannon, so they all hope that in this test, the Vulcan cannon can successfully complete the first round of testing.

Xiao Weiguo took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement, he sat on the operation position, carefully adjusted the muzzle of the Vulcan cannon, and aimed it at the target three thousand meters away. Although the target area is also more than ten square meters, but the distance is relatively far, so it does not look very large, which is about the same size as the actual combat target of the future strike aircraft and armored vehicles, but it is a moving target, and it is more difficult to aim, and the Vulcan cannon relies on the dense firepower generated by the high rate of fire to destroy the target, but it is still difficult to operate it by people alone, especially to deal with high-speed targets in the air, and it will be much better to have a simple artillery sighting radar in the future.
