Hearing Wang Ye say this, Commissioner Liang nodded without hesitation and said:

"The whole thing is relatively smooth."

"On the side of the artillery project team, the semi-automatic loader has been tested, and the first phase of the turret assembly project has also been completed, and the frontal penetration test was just carried out a few days ago."

"Tsk! It is said that the spear of the son attacks the shield of the son, and I don't know whether to be happy or sad, even if the frontal armor of our turret is already very thick, and we use our latest and strongest composite armor mixed with ceramic and fiberglass, but it still can't withstand the attack of our 130 smoothbore gun. ”

"The people in the armor and defense departments are going crazy, Lao Zhao proposed at the meeting a few days ago that he wants to take the lead. He believes that composite armor and hollow sandwich armor alone cannot cope with the attack of 130 mm super-large caliber tail stabilized deshelling armor-piercing shells like ours, so we must find another way to prepare early, and explosive reactive armor, he believes that it may be one of the mainstream armor defense directions in the future. ”

"Contradictions, since there is already a spear, there must be a shield."

"In the end, the commissioners were persuaded by him, so the project was voted through, and I voted yes."

For Committee Member Liang to say this, Wang Ye couldn't help but light up in his eyes, and there was a little surprise in his heart.

Explosive reactive armor was first proposed by Soviet scientists in the late forties, when World War II was basically over, and in an environment where the world was tending to be peaceful, the theoretical research at that time was insufficient, the design was seriously flawed, the experimental process was not smooth, and the Soviet Union thought that their tanks were powerful enough to not need this "too sci-fi" equipment, so the relevant research was canceled.

Later, a German scientist was ordered to go to the desert overlord to study the damage effect of Western ammunition on Soviet tanks in the desert war, in the process he found that the explosion would affect the trajectory and kinetic energy of the shell, inspired by this situation, he returned to Germany and began the research of explosive reactive armor, but unfortunately Germany and even the whole of Europe did not look down on his research products.

In the end, the scientist had no choice but to take the research results and run back to the Desert Overlord again, with his three-inch tongue, he started the promotion of his own products, and with his good eloquence, he finally succeeded, and his technology was officially authorized to be produced by the Desert Overlord, and equipped with the tanks and armored vehicles of the Desert Overlord.

Fast forward to last year, which is 82 years.

The desert overlord invaded Lebanon, the fifth desert war broke out, in the course of this war, the performance of the explosive reactive armor was beyond expectations, because the inert explosives contained in the explosive reactive armor will explode at the moment of contact with the shell, and the energy and shock wave of the explosion will change the trajectory of the warhead and affect the release of the kinetic energy of the cannonball, greatly reducing the damage to the original armor of the tank.

Lebanon has Syrian troops, and Syria is the hardcore brother of the Soviet Union, so the Soviet Union got a tank equipped with reactive armor through these channels, and then after more than 30 years, it began to study explosive reactive armor again.

In normal history, the USSR would have come up with the first finished product this year.

And the reason why Wang Ye was so surprised was very simple.

Nowadays, not to mention the research on explosive reactive armor in China, even the relevant information is very, very little, out of the gate of the consortium, there may be no more than five people in the country who have heard of this thing, and the news within the consortium is also the foundation to find a way to get it from abroad, in addition, that is, Wang Ye said a few words about the principle at the relevant meeting, what explosion can change the trajectory of the shell, so can this principle be used to improve defense?

The committee member obviously has an unusually keen sense of smell in scientific research, and only through a little foreign news and a small amount of explanation from Wang Ye, he determined the direction of this research, deepened the relevant theoretical research himself, and also conducted small-scale experiments at the laboratory level, and finally applied for the creation of this project with enough information and proof.

"Not bad! Not bad! If I were present, I would have voted yes. ”

"I hope to see the finished product as soon as possible, after all, our armored chassis is large in size and powerful, and by mounting such external armor, the overall defense capability can be greatly improved."

"I think it's okay! This project has a head! ”

In the end, Wang Ye gave great recognition to the explosive reactive armor project.

Because in normal history, before the maturity of technologies such as magnetic shields and plasma shields, burst reactive armor and active defense systems have always been the most important means of defense for combat vehicles, because it is unrealistic to rely on stacking armor alone, it is too heavy!

Hearing Wang Ye say this, Director Liang nodded with a smile, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"Director, do you think our Red Star Consortium has any magic power?"

"In the past, when the big guy was in the original unit, it stands to reason that he didn't rest and be lazy, and he worked hard every day to engage in scientific research, but at that time, he couldn't get a project out of three or five years, ten years or eight years, which is like now? The project is said to be established, and it may be a project at the forefront of world research. ”

"The key is that such a project can still succeed in the end and produce a product?"

"Tsk! I couldn't have thought of it in the past! ”

Facing Director Liang's emotion, another member next to him snorted coldly and said:

"Magic? There's a ball of magic! ”

"If you want to say that there is magic, then money is magic, and if you have money, you have everything, and if you don't have money, you have nothing."

"In the past, when we were in the institute, the annual funding was only a little, and we spent it cleanly after doing two experiments, what other projects were we engaged in? What to do with the project? ”

"And now? The project is not approved, and we have a quota of experimental funds every month. ”

"Let's just say that he is Lao Zhao, how many small-scale explosion experiments have he done in the laboratory? Could it be that this explosive armor was calculated by his imagination? If there is no money, he will get a ball-headed explosive reactive armor! ”

"I don't dare to say anything about foreign countries, let's just say that in China, except for the Red Star Consortium, except for the factory director who trusts us so much and gives us so much money and disaster, we can't find a second one nationwide!"

"It's not that you don't spend money, but when the money is spent, everything that should come is coming."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Ye couldn't help but laugh directly, it was obvious that he was patting his ass, so he waved his hand directly and said:

"Commissioner Zheng, don't slap me, it's useless if you shoot it."

"I know what you want to do, you want to do anti-ship missiles, right? You want to match missile boats, right? ”

Speaking of this, Wang Ye's voice paused, and he rolled his eyes helplessly and said:

"I want to do it too! But what do we want now, how do we do it? ”

"As an anti-ship missile, infrared guidance we just have a little eyebrows, active radar we are still almost on fire, not to mention turbojet engines, how do we do it?"

"If we all purchase from domestic manufacturers and we complete the assembly, what's the point?"

Regarding Wang Ye's statement, the member Zheng waved his hand, and said with a smile:

"Factory director, you misunderstood me this time, I didn't say anything."

"I've been busy lately, working on a gadget!"

Hearing the slightly excited voice of Commissioner Zheng, Wang Ye couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What gadgets?"

Unexpectedly, Commissioner Zheng actually sold Guanzi, shook his head and said:

"You just wait, factory director! You'll find out in a few days. ”

"It's going to scare you, haha!"

In this regard, Wang Ye directly gave a thumbs up, the members of the consortium still have a lot of freedom in research, and Wang Ye does not interfere.

Because many important science and technology are discovered in an imaginative environment or aimless research, Wang Ye gives them the greatest degree of freedom, so that they can fully release their scientific research imagination and scientific research ability, and give the greatest financial support within the scope of their affordability.

Finally, Commissioner Liang next to him continued:

"In terms of the dual-stability system, the progress is still good, at present, they have completed the relevant disassembly, research and imitation work of the T-72 tank's dual-stability system, basically reaching the level of the T-72 original car, but the overall stability effect, they are not very satisfied, and hope to continue to upgrade."

"It is said that they are going to build a mechanical, hydraulic, and electronic composite stabilization system."

"I haven't learned in detail about what variable-bore hydraulics, electric drive reducers, chip-controlled stepper motors and the like are involved, they are mysterious."

"However, there shouldn't be any finished products yet, otherwise they would have come to greet the factory director today."

"I guess it's because the idea is too advanced, and there is a certain problem."

"No face! Hahaha! ”

Hearing what Committee member Liang said, Wang Ye's eyes lit up, and sure enough, just like what Committee member Zheng said just now, there is enough money to do, and after these scientific researchers have received sufficient financial support, coupled with a certain amount of information and intelligence guidance, after years of accumulation, they have instantly burst out with unimaginable scientific research capabilities.

"The infrared night vision system is also doing well."

"Recently, it seems that we are cooperating with infrared guidance and fire control aiming to engage in the integration of infrared night vision fire control and targeting."

"I heard that the laser ranging system has basically been completed."

"However, they did not stop work, I heard that they are working on another project, it is said that they hope to add a larger-scale laser to the tank, and then use it to illuminate the infrared receiver of the enemy tank on the opposite side, and even the observation hole and periscope of the opposite tank, so as to achieve the purpose of blinding the enemy's eyes at the physical level."

"Heh, I don't know how the progress is"

Everyone walked all the way, Director Liang talked all the way, gossip all around, Wang Ye listened all the way, and the more he listened, the happier he became.

Scientific research is people-oriented, and for a country, scientific researchers are the most valuable wealth, and it just so happens that today's country has a large amount of this wealth, and even in a sense, more has overflowed, because the country has no money, can not settle so many scientists and scientific researchers, so that the consortium picked up this big leak.

Just like Musk's SpaceX space exploration technology company a few decades later, it seems that in just a dozen years, this company has become the world's leader in the field of rocket technology, and it seems that with the size of a company, it has surpassed all countries in the world, even countries like China and Russia that have been studied for decades.

Are they strong? Of course it is, there is no doubt about it.

However, there is no need to be too presumptuous, because NASA is backed by NASA behind SpaceX!

In a sense, SpaceX is no different from today's Red Star Consortium, they have poached a large number of NASA space scientists and scientific researchers, and then invested a lot of money in the way of financial operations, while the Red Star Consortium has obtained a large number of scientists nationwide for free, and has also invested a lot of money.

Then the final result is nothing to worry about, it must be a direct take-off!

And now, for the Red Star Consortium, this scene has begun to appear, and tens of thousands of scientists with deep accumulation have begun to accumulate steadily!

A moment later.

The group returned to the small square in front of the office building, and then dispersed and left.

Wang Ye walked in the direction of home, and Bai Tingyu, who was the secretary on duty of the factory office secretariat behind him, chattered:

"Auntie and uncle must go, saying that they want to go back to work."

"I said that I'm not too young anyway, so if I can't do it, I'll leave my job and stay in our factory!"

"No, my aunt said that the children are still waiting to go back, and my uncle also said that he is indispensable in the office, and they are still young, so what is the matter of leaving? Do you want to let your son raise you for the rest of your life? The son still wants to get married and live together every day, and the daughter-in-law will have opinions, disagree, and disagree. ”

"I couldn't persuade me, so I sent a telegram to the factory director, and you said to go with them, so I arranged personnel and sent my uncle and aunt back."

"A few days ago, I sent a telegram to ask the factory director if you have come back"

Hearing Bai Tingyu's voice, the corners of Wang Ye's mouth rose slightly, his parents themselves knew very well that they were not the kind of people who could rest and "enjoy their happiness", so let them go back, in fact, they were happier.

A few minutes later, Wang Ye walked to the door of his house, the yard was deserted, and the same was true at home, and finally Wang Ye sighed and turned around and said:

"Don't go back, let's go, let's go to the cafeteria to eat!"

"Just sit on this side of the yard, I'll sleep in my dorm room at night."

Before his parents came last year, Wang Ye was in a dormitory, which was in the office building.

"Hey!"

Bai Tingyu answered, and the two walked to the cafeteria.

After dinner, at seven o'clock in the evening, Wang Ye came to the large conference room, and there were already many people waiting at the moment, seeing Wang Ye standing up and greeting with a smile on his face.

"Director, you're finally back!"

"Director, you've lost weight! But it looks leaner! ”

"Quick, pour water for the factory director!"

With a greeting full of concern, joy, and expectation, Wang Ye sat on the top of his own position and let out a long sigh of relief.

It feels so good to be home!

Meanwhile.

In the port of Mumbai, India, I saw a huge transport ship anchored in the port.

"Rumble"

With the sound of engines and tracks hitting the ground, one T-72 tank after another was seen being driven out of the cabin.

And in the open space not far away, under the lights is a neat and tidy piece of tanks, not to mention seven or eight hundred!
