Chapter 4 Testing

"Little student, let's discuss your graduation allocation."

"You, you have designed a modular artillery system on your own, and according to our experience and trial production tests, this cannon, although it is still flawed, can already be used, and after the improvement of a few of our old men, it should be ready for installation. This is a great achievement, but you are still a student, and this credit cannot be issued. So after you graduate, you come to work under me as a researcher and continue to work hard. It's your credit that goes to you.

As for the three of you, assisting in the development of a working weapon system is also a rare experience, can you come here directly after graduation and start as a grassroots researcher? ”

All four heads are about to come out of the afterimage. Can you not agree to the recommendation of the academician, and besides, North Industry is also one of the top large enterprises in the People's Revolutionary Union, and opportunities can be met but not sought.

"Nacheng, you two disband, let's talk to Xiaoyi."

The three of them, along with old Sminov and Uncle Bear, got up and left.

"Come on, little student, talk about your development ideas."

I was silent for a few seconds, calmed down, and cleared my thoughts.

"The ms currently equipped in our country are all on the road, while the AEU and union are all equipped variable gram flight ms. Both the decree and ironman anti-aircraft weapons have only 30 mm cannons and 200 mm smoothbore guns, and their anti-aircraft efficiency is extremely poor. It's not even as efficient as calling in Air Force fighter support. And the anti-aircraft missiles carried by the accompanying infantry could hardly threaten the armor of the MS due to insufficient charge. So I wanted to develop an artillery that could cope with flying MS. ”

"Oh? One artillery cannon can't change the situation of our MS's weakness in the air. ”

"Then it's just 4 doors."

I took out my phone and found the design draft of the Iron Man air defense type that I had made at that time.

"My gun is mainly designed for this anti-aircraft special MS, equipped with a next-generation radar search and tracking system, a next-generation optical sighting system, a next-generation fire control system and other electronic equipment. It is armed with 4 155mm rapid-fire guns, 16 heavy anti-aircraft anti-MS missiles, and a water-cooled 60mm 6-tube liquid-cooled Vulcan gun with an integrated carbon steel knife for melee combat. ”

Academician Wang took the mobile phone, looked at the rotating 3D model, and discussed it with the old comrades-in-arms next to him.

"Mom...... I don't know if the air defense iron man has been established at this point in time, and if the project is established, will I be killed as a spy? ”

"Okay, Xiao Yi, do you have any ideas for those next-generation radars you said now?"

"Of course not."

Ian said confidently with wide eyes.

That innocent look further illustrates the problem.

"I didn't learn anything about it."

It's just that Ian's inner thoughts are:

"Of course Lao Tzu will, the theory of close defense artillery includes radar and optical scanning and tracking technology, of course, I designed a cannon and was watched, and then the radar will definitely be dissected!"

"Uh...... Also. Academician Wang was visibly choked.

"Then I'll assign the other modules to other research groups for development." Academician Wang shook his head, obviously a little regretful. "You go back and rest first, and then ...... in the afternoon"

"Actually, I still have a few thoughts...... Now it's just the idea. "Ian Death Soul Burns" The rail elevator uses a defensive MS, an iron man spider, and replaces its legs with a cable car structure that can move on a steel cable outside the rail elevator, and the hand armament is replaced with a linear rifle powered by the rail elevator, and two sets of 6-pack missile launchers are carried on the shoulders.

There is also a long-range artillery sniper type Iron Man, armed with a 300 mm 70x caliber cannon. Iron men were used in the water, the thrusters were switched to underwater turbothrusters, and they were armed with multi-link torpedo launchers and small linear guns. There is also a reconnaissance iron man, equipped with ......"

"Stop, stop, you can't get along with the iron man, why is it all the iron man? Why did you come up with so many ideas? ”

"Improving the 59 style is a tradition, and people always need a hobby ......"

"Come on, I'll find someone to show you the idea, you go back first...... Forget it, I'll take you to the cafeteria to get some food, and we'll continue to chat......"

"You shouldn't just want to install this cannon on MS, right? The modularity of this gun is very high, it is versatile, and the design should not be bad. ”

"Hmm" Eating the canteen food invited by the academician, Ian, who couldn't speak, affirmed, "Fortifications, naval ships, spaceships, combat vehicles, by replacing some modules, can be used." Now the artillery of every service is not universal, which is really a waste. What's more, the current Tiger-type transport ships turned out to be unarmed, which is too strange as a military ship. In the near future, there should be a universe ms flying all over the sky, at least add a close defense gun. ”

"That's the reason, there is a research group that also thought of this problem, they designed a four-company cosmic turret for your cannon, which should be put into the experiment today and tomorrow......

"Buzz...... Buzz ......"

Taking out his mobile phone, Academician Wang read a message: "Well, this afternoon's live-fire experiment, the turret was built." You've made samples of the new shells you've designed, so let's try them out together in the afternoon. ”

"I just wanted to ask, why the transformation speed of drawings and physical objects here is so fast."

"With 3D printing, most parts can be shaped by 3D printing."

"I've seen ...... for a long time"

"Xiao Yi, you still have a lot to learn in the future......"

The old man grinned happily when he saw Ian, a suspected genius, asking a rookie-level common sense question.

The research group that designed the space carrier-based close-in defense gun had already placed the finished turret on the experimental site, several big forks were placed on the mountain in the distance, trucks carrying target planes were parked on both sides, and at the foot of the mountain were dozens of armor plates for shooting tests.

"The shooting experiment began 15 minutes later, the shooting range was cleared, and unrelated personnel quickly evacuated the site." Announcements and alarm bells echoed over the venue.

"The firing experiment began, the first loading of high-explosive shells, secondary guided shells, and then sequential loading, anti-air scattershots, delayed/collision high-explosive shells, armor-piercing shells, sub-caliber shell-out armor-piercing shells, armor-piercing shells, armor-piercing shells, and armor-fragmenting shells."

"Target Hillside No. 1, single shot, fire."

A few seconds after a cannon shot, a fireball exploded at a distant target, followed by a loud bang a few seconds later.

"Hit, damage assessment ......"

"The second shell is loaded, the laser designator is activated, the target No. 2 target is positioned, the muzzle is pointed at the No. 1 target unchanged, and the shot is fired."

The same cannon sounded, and the shell flew out, but the difference was that the shell clearly turned an angle and hit another target.

"Hit, damage assessment ......"

"Loading of secondary shells, targeting, flying MS with armor plates, shooting."

This time, the shell detonated 3 meters in front of the armor plate, and hundreds of arrow-shaped warheads flew out, penetrating the armor plate in front of it, and shooting this armor plate into a honeycomb.

"Hit, damage assessment ......"

"The second shell is loaded, the target No. 2 flight MS is armored plate, and the shot."

Well, this time the target armor plate was blown up with a huge hole.

"Sub-reloading, target iron man armor plates, shooting."

The armor-piercing projectile penetrated the main armor plate of the Iron Man in 5 layers at a distance of a thousand meters, that is, 150 mm armor ✖️5

"The target of the secondary bullet remains the same, shoot."

The shell-piercing shell penetrated 18 layers this time...... The R&D team watching next door made the sound of cold air......

"Sub-ammunition loading, targets, large armor blocks. Shooting"

This time, the target was an armor steel block that was 1.5 meters in length, width and height.

A flash of fire exploded on the surface of the steel block, and the sharp-eyed person noticed that there was a fire shining through the back of the steel block.

"Hit, damage assessment, breakdown."

The sound of gritting teeth and pumping cold air came from the next door again......

"Sub-ammunition loading, target 1000 mm armor plates, shooting."

This time, a large piece shattered behind the armor plate, and the splattered fragments were found at a distance of up to several hundred meters.

"Burst firing preparation, loading of high-explosive shells, target position No. 1, 30 rounds, shooting."

The loud sound was built into a huge "Buzz! Stuck in the faces of the crowd of onlookers. The distant explosions were concentrated in a small area.

"Hit, scatter 5 denses."

At this time, the onlookers next door had already brushed their sleeves away, and Ian was a little puzzled. "Why are the expressions of the people over there so bad?"

"Because they designed the Iron Man, the weapons they will face in the future will be at most 200 mm 25 times caliber smoothbore guns, not such over-spec weapons.

Not surprisingly, their project had to be redone, and the armor of the Iron Man was reconsidered in this way. After all, in front of this cannon, the iron man is not much stronger than the paper one. ”

Later, I saw that the target aircraft was torn to pieces by 30 companies of anti-air shots, and the turret strafed at will, and the shells finally hit the same point under the guidance of the laser designator. And no matter how hard the target aircraft struggled, it could not escape the pursuit of the guided projectiles, and was eventually blown to pieces.

In the final test, even a decommissioned edict was torn to shreds in 10 seconds of armor-piercing projectile fire.

Ian finally realized that the lower limit of this gun he designed was a bit low......
