Li Zhao's suggestion is relatively pertinent, and in this situation, what is needed is indeed a platform that can be continuously upgraded. As for the overall performance, it can be improved slowly, Li Zhao believes that as long as it is done now, there is enough room for future upgrades, then this platform can be continuously upgraded.

After listening to Li Zhao's words, the chief engineer's eyes lit up, they have been thinking about how to improve the comprehensive performance, and now that they think about it, it is really unnecessary. As Li Zhao said, now the power system can't keep up, and it is more important to come up with a platform first to leave enough room for upgrading. It doesn't matter if the protection is not enough now, no matter how bad it is, it can be worse than towed artillery? It doesn't matter if you run slowly, no matter how slow you are, can you be slower than you used to pull with an ox cart?

Now it is only necessary to ensure that the failure rate is low, the shooting accuracy is high, and no matter how bad the rate of fire is, this is also a heavy artillery, which is better than the various types of artillery equipped now, and there is really no need to dwell on these problems. As Li Zhao said, the most important thing is to leave enough room for upgrades. No matter how well you design, all the performance is taken into account, but you can't upgrade, that's useless.

Thinking of this, the chief engineer said at this time: "We have thought too much and too complicated, as you said, the most important thing for us now is to solve the problem, no matter how bad it is, it is much stronger than small-caliber artillery." What we have been thinking about is how to come up with a gun with very good comprehensive performance, and we still need young people like you, who dare to think and dare to do, compared with what you said, we think, it is easy to be eliminated. ”

Indeed, if they take Li Zhao's engine today and design a self-propelled gun that is balanced in all aspects, it will not be eliminated soon. All things considered, then all aspects are not very good, after all, the motivation is so great, where can you take care of everything? After two years, the power keeps up, and if you change the power, you will find that the power is redundant, and you can change it to a bigger power, but you can run faster, and the rest cannot be changed.

But as long as you follow this step of Li Zhao, then things will be easy to do. Using the engine that Li Zhao brought today, he directly designed a big guy of more than 40 tons, and these weights were only considered on the body except for the gun, and the final shell was directly made of thin steel plates, so a relatively large body could be directly taken out. In the future, if you replace the high horsepower, you will need to install what you need, which is indeed better.

Now that the inspection has reached the end, it is ready to start the test gun, and the chief engineer also took Li Zhao to the distant bunker to watch with a telescope, no way, I don't know the specific performance of the artillery yet, once the explosion occurs, it is too close, but it will be fatal, so the gunner of the artillery test fire is very dangerous.

Soon, the gunner finished aiming, loaded the shells and propellant into the chamber, and after checking that there were no errors, he began to fire the shells. First I saw a puff of smoke, then a loud bang, and then I saw the artillery slowly reset. More than ten seconds later, an explosion occurred on the mountain wall in the distance, and several people also walked down together at this time to see the current situation of the artillery.

At this time, Division Commander Zhang said: "Large-caliber artillery is just different, it sounds energetic, can you produce a batch first and put it in our division for testing?" Anyway, you also need data, and in our division, I will let the artillery cooperate with you, which is much faster than your own experiments, and they are all very experienced veterans. ”

At this time, the chief engineer said: "Even if it is to produce a batch of test models, it will be a few months later, and now we have not finished the mechanical part, and now the production is basically useless." If you need to re-aim every time you shoot, it's basically a few minutes of shots, and you can't use it in real combat. ”

"In addition to not solving the problem of recoil, we have not yet tested the service life of the barrel, and if it does, it may be a big problem. This artillery is estimated that you need a squad of people to operate, and counting the logistics support and the corresponding protection personnel, you must not go around a platoon around a gun? Once there is an explosion accident, it will be dozens of people killed, where will we be responsible? ”

This is indeed the case, from the design of an artillery piece to the service of the mounted troops, there are quite a lot of links that need to be passed through in the middle, how can it be possible to equip Division Commander Zhang casually? What's more, this is still a trial production gun, and there are still many defects, and the mechanical part has not been completely done so far.

At this time, Li Zhao asked: "It has been fired many times now, how is the life of the barrel?" ”

When the chief engineer heard this question, he couldn't help but smile and said; "We've not fully studied the self-tightening technology, but we've already started to try it out. This gun has already begun to be used, and in the current situation, we estimate that the life span is about six or seven hundred rounds. In addition, the range has not yet been tested, and the mechanical part needs to be done before these can be tested, otherwise the shells may hit anywhere. ”

Li Zhao thought for a while and said, "The hydraulic press you have here is still too small, only six thousand tons, right?" Later, our hydraulic press was built, and all the steel used in the 155-mm gun should be passed through on the hydraulic press. In that case, it is estimated that the service life can be increased a little more. ”

As he spoke, several people came to the side of the artillery, and at this time several people were taking measurements to see how much the gun had moved this time, so as to evaluate the effect of the gun mount design. At this time, the chief engineer also asked, "How is it?" ”

The technician in charge of the test said: "Judging from the current results, there is an effect, but it is still a little worse, and it is much better than the previous one." If this gun is not re-targeted, it is estimated that the deviation will reach 50 meters at 10 kilometers, which is a great improvement over the 70 meters of the previous design, and more detailed data needs to be further tested. ”

Li Zhao also shook his head when he heard this, this shooting accuracy is too poor, basically every two guns must be re-targeted, then the efficiency is too bad. Li Zhao also carefully observed the design of the gun carriage at this time, and he also wanted to analyze and analyze how to solve the current problem.

Said; "I probably have a solution, but I need to look at your design drawings."

After listening to Li Zhao's words, the chief engineer was also very happy, and took Li Zhao to see, didn't he just want to find ideas from Li Zhao? Although Li Zhao does not understand the design and manufacture of weapons, Li Zhao is really a genius in machinery, and the chief engineer readily agrees to Li Zhao's request. At this time, Commander Zhang found a big toy, kept circling around the artillery, and liked this artillery very much, and couldn't wait to take it home directly.

In the following time, they watched a few more test firings, and a few people went to see the situation of the tank gun. The tank gun is a different scene here, good guys, these people are also ruthless, and they directly replaced the tank. Li Zhao looked at the tank with a 125-mm gun on his back, and couldn't laugh or cry, many people are talking about this transformation in the future, but if this design is really used, it will be another mood.

At this time, the chief engineer introduced: "This gun is also a trial production, it is a smoothbore gun with a diameter of 48 times, and the armor-piercing shell that we are reproducing now can penetrate more than 200 millimeters. Now the kind of tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing shell you mentioned is also being developed, and there are a few test shells here, which we tried before, and the effect is very good, but the problem now is that after some shells are launched, they cannot take off the shell stock, which remains to be studied. ”

"The current service life is estimated to be about 1,000 rounds of ordinary artillery shells, and if the tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing projectile is used, the life will be shorter, and the specific situation is still being tested."

Li Zhao was also surprised when he heard the introduction, so he said; "In this case, wouldn't this gun be finalized? That's a staggering statistic, isn't it? At this time, not only Li Zhao was surprised, but also Division Commander Zhang was surprised, you must know how long this artillery has been developed, which is already better than the original artillery used by the tank.

Seeing the shocked look of the two, the chief engineer said: "It can be said that it is a success, or it can be said that it is not successful." This gun was the most effective of all the body tube self-tightening tests, and after pressurization, the caliber of the gun just met the design requirements. After subsequent processing, we found that the pressure bearing capacity of this gun is much higher than that of other generals. Unfortunately, we haven't copied the second one yet. ”

"The other barrels can only guarantee a service life of about 600 rounds, and if you replace the tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing shell, the life is even shorter. We are now looking for a reason, but progress is still limited. ”

Li Zhao asked in surprise: "This shouldn't be, if it can be successful once, it shouldn't be able to succeed a second time, this experiment should be able to be repeated, right?" You guys are so unreasonable. ”

At this time, the chief engineer said: "There is no way, after all, our research time is still very short, and there is still a long way to go if we want to really master this technology." We have not yet fully understood the influencing factors of various aspects of the self-tightening of the body tube, and we are still in the stage of collecting a large amount of data, and it is estimated that it will take at least a few months to make a second such barrel, and we want to completely finalize it to see if it can be completed next year. ”

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
