Chapter 275: Development of Individual Weapons
Due to the serious decline in profits this year, in order to ensure sufficient investment in scientific research and the company's operation in the next year, after discussion by the board of directors, it was decided to only pay 20% of the profits and save them as dividends.
At the same time, a certain percentage of equity was added, and this decision immediately aroused welcome within the company. Now everyone knows that Longhua's equity is the most valuable reward.
To handle the company's affairs well, Li Guocheng needs to calm down and consider the next research direction.
Thinking of what Huaxia was going to teach the little brother a lesson next, I was a little anxious in my heart, and now it was early 1978, and there were only two years left. It is necessary to find a weapon that can quickly form a battle.
And this weapon must be convenient for jungle operations.
Li Guocheng flipped through the memories in his mind, and suddenly saw a weapon, Fuel Air Explosive, isn't this the cloud burst bomb known as the sub-H weapon in later generations!
Li Guocheng was very happy, and carefully searched for the memory, which only briefly introduced its principle and formula, and there was no memory of how to manufacture and how to put this information.
Li Guocheng hurriedly entered the secret realm, looked for the books on the shelves, and according to the catalog, searched for all, but did not find any more information.
In fact, the principle of the cloud burst bomb is very simple.
The main charge of a cloudburst bomb is a cloudburst agent, also known as fuel-air explosive. Cloudburst is a high-energy fuel, not an explosive.
Explosives rely on their own oxygen supply when the detonation reaction occurs, while the cloudburst bomb makes full use of the oxygen in the atmosphere in the explosion area when it explodes: under certain detonation conditions, the cloudburst agent is thrown away, mixed with the air and explodes violently, some people call it cloud and fog explosion.
The destructive effect of cloud detonation on the target mainly depends on the overpressure and temperature field effects generated by the detonation, as well as the scouring effect of the high-temperature and high-pressure detonation products.
Cloudburst agents release much higher energy than explosives of equal mass, and the blast wave generated can damage large areas of military objectives.
The detonation wave is reflected and superimposed between the walls, and the overpressure value is much higher than that of the open space, so the lethal effect of the cloudburst bomb is greater in the confined space.
Therefore, individual cloud bursts are particularly suitable for striking living targets in houses, buildings and bunkers.
Early cloud explosives can be divided into secondary explosions during the explosion process.
The first detonation is used to disperse the fuel contained in the container, mixing it with the air to form an aerosol cloud, and the second detonation is used to detonate the cloud to form a blast effect.
The main recipe of the cloudburst bomb is ethylene oxide. It is the main product of the petrochemical industry.
Because it was to be used in the military, he did not dare to assign the task to the branch, so he had to return to his old business.
I went to the library to look up the materials, and then bought a lot of related materials, and kept trying them out in the laboratory.
Ethylene oxide, the raw material is actually acetylene, how to oxidize is what Li Guocheng needs to break through.
By searching for information, the commonly used oxidation methods now include chlorohydrin method and direct oxidation method.
Li Guocheng chose the direct oxidation method.
Through slow exploration, Li Guocheng found that oxidation in the air has too many impurities, which affects the catalytic activity.
I made a small airtight container myself, and by injecting oxygen, inert gas, and acetylene, I kept adjusting the proportions and experimenting.
Under the precise monitoring of telekinesis, it took less than two months to complete the optimal ratio.
The next step was to design the body and launch platform.
Because the time was too short, in order to quickly form combat effectiveness, Li Guocheng finally chose the individual launch method.
The shape is directly imitated from the shoulder-fired missiles of later generations, mainly referring to the FIM-43 Stinger individual air defense missile of Sam Country.
In order to save costs, plastic launch canisters are used. The characteristics are just like the grenade carried by a soldier, its box is a launch canister, and even the sight is made of plastic, which can be used out of the box and thrown away after use.
With a total weight of less than 12 kilograms, a length of 0.92 meters, and a range of 25 to 850 meters, a single shot can kill a living target in a space of about 50 square meters.
Of course, the scope of the damage was obtained by Li Guocheng secretly running to the Jiulong Mountains at night to experiment, when the deafening sound came far away, so frightened that Li Guocheng hurriedly cleaned up the scene and ran back to his home in a circle.
Soon a team of police officers entered the mountainous area and found some traces and explosives remaining, but no other clues were found. After reporting to the Hong Kong government, in order not to cause panic, a news of a lightning strike was released to the society.
Then a special task force was formed internally to investigate. Half a month later, there was no progress, and no incidents that endangered society were found, and they were temporarily suspended by the police.
In order to manufacture, stock up and train as soon as possible, Li Guocheng took the initiative to contact the other party and leave a mark on the No. 5 safe house that is being opened.
A week later, Lao Luo shipped a batch of raw materials in advance and took away the USB flash drive and two samples smoothly.
I don't know under what circumstances, I brought it back to the branch, and when I checked it, all the people exclaimed, "Weapon".
This was the first time they had brought back a weapon from the gentleman in Xiangjiang. The person in charge did not dare to delay and used the internal line to contact the superior directly.
Soon, a platoon of heavily armed soldiers and engineers who hurried to the ** research institute took over "this batch of weapons" and materials.
A week later, the weapons performance report was sent to the Army *** Research Institute.
At a small meeting, the last topic of the meeting was a discussion on Li Guocheng's private weapons.
There are affirmations, and there are doubts. In the end, Zhao Lao said, "He is from Xiangjiang", and everyone reacted. This matter is not over.
A month later, according to the information, the first batch of individual cloud burst shells was manufactured.
Soon all relevant information was submitted to the Ministry of Equipment.
Half a year later, each field unit received a new type of weapon, which was launched in a manner similar to that of the Type 70-1 62mm individual anti-tank rocket.
At a certain test site of the Southern Military Region, a group of soldiers who had undergone strict training walked in in unison.
After the person in charge conducted a safety inspection of the experimental site, the team of soldiers set up a circle of dummies at 80 meters in accordance with the operational requirements.
Then he thought that a well-trained soldier would carry a single soldier cloud burst bomb, aim and fire.
Then the whole audience seemed to be all pointed, and no one moved for a long time.
It's amazing!
First, a much quieter bomb explosion was heard than usual, and the earth was enveloped in a white mist-like gas.
Before he could figure out what was going on, suddenly, there was a thunderstorm, a great earthquake, and suddenly, the ground the size of a basketball court was on fire and smoke.
Finally, when I checked the dummies that had been set up, I didn't find a single one, only a small part of the debris was found on the periphery of the explosion, and most of them were vaporized in the explosion.
Fortunately, these servicemen were all in accordance with the operating procedures and hid behind cover. Otherwise, even if you stand 80 meters away, you can get hurt.
Such things are constantly being played out in various field units.
As a result, various field departments have applied to be equipped with more such weapons. By the end of November 1979, the smallest unit of each field unit, the combat squad, was equipped with an average of two individual cloud burst shells.
Moreover, each regiment has 10 bases of this individual weapon in its arsenal.
After Li Guocheng handed over the individual weapon to Lao Luo, a big stone fell in his heart. I silently prayed in my heart that I would lose some of the loveliest people at that time.
