Chapter 369: Improved Warhead with Reduced Penetration
When she goes to school, in the name of helping her study and finding information for her, just give it to her bit by bit.
With Lou Xiao'e's intelligence, she will naturally realize the meaning, and the classification and subsequent matters will be logical.
Silly Mozi sometimes acts stupidly, but she is still innocent and charming. In addition, her parents and Gao Zhendong protect her well, so it has nothing to do with being really stupid.
Looking at Lou Xiaoe, who had no idea about this, and her eyes were smiling like crescent moons, Gao Zhendong secretly thought that people who really love to laugh will not have bad luck.
For Gao Zhendong, this book is not his luck, but his wife's.
On Monday morning, Gao Zhendong, who had just arrived at the office, was called by the confidential room to answer a minutes call from Mr. Luo of the Long Sword Factory.
"Mr. Gao, we have tested the new batch of bobbins, and the results are very good!"
Gao Zhendong these days, whenever he hears the words "the results are very good" , and feel comfortable all over.
"Really? Haha, how many points?"
"What? How many points?" Gao Zhendong's answer that flew 80,000 miles away completely confused Mr. Luo.
Gao Zhendong then came to his senses and got down to business: "Ah, ah, nothing, nothing, I mean, what was the result?"
Why does Mr. Gao feel so weird? Yes, Mr. Luo thought, but he still took the test report in his hand and explained it to Gao Zhendong one by one.
"Mr. Gao, your adjustments and changes to the propellant and rocket engine are very effective. At the same time, after the tail wing was added from six blades to eight blades, the wind deflection was further reduced. Together with other improvements, the rocket is now The effective range of the projectile has reached 180 meters. "
This result made Gao Zhendong feel very happy. The range has been increased by 20%, which is amazing. It means that the distance that can kill the enemy has been increased. 30 meters away, which also means that the soldiers are 30 meters away from danger.
However, Gao Zhendong was not dazzled by the good news, but asked very calmly: "Is it an individual phenomenon or is it an average distance? If it is an average distance, does the data fluctuate greatly?"
Mr. Luo said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Gao, the minimum distance is, hahaha, and the trajectory consistency is very good."
For them, if the trajectory consistency is not good, even the minimum distance of 180 is not as stable as 150, because It's useless to fight like this, you can't hit the target, no matter how far the distance is, what's the use.
Gao Zhendong then felt relieved: "Haha, this is good, this is good. How many rounds is this data?"
When the 89 package was finalized, various More than 500 rounds were fired in the test. Although this is not yet at that stage, it does not explain the problem if it is less.
From here, we can also see how cheap this thing is. The missile is finalized and it is considered rigorous to shoot 10 or 15 rounds. If it is replaced with it, it can shoot out so many in one go.
Mr. Luo sighed in his mind that Mr. Gao was careful and rigorous. Fortunately, he also did a solid job here: "Quite a few, this is the data after 50 rounds."
50 rounds, That's okay, this number is already enough to explain the problem.
"What about other conditions?" After playing so many rounds, it is obvious that the test data is more than this.
“Everything is good. First of all, one of the key points of this test is that the sight is still very accurate, but the windage correction zone is useless. The main reason is that within the effective range, the wind The deviation is very small, and winds below level 4 will not affect the accuracy.”
This windage correction dividing area is copied from the 89 barrel. As a result, because the effective range of this thing is smaller than that of the 89 barrel, it is not very useful within its effective range.
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "Look for opportunities to correct and correct, and keep it. The soldiers don't need it, but we can't live without it. We still have to fight on windy days."
As for looking for opportunities to make corrections, it is because at this time, the correction of windage correction depends on the sky. God will not reward you. If there is not such a strong wind, you cannot do this.
No way, we can't afford to fight for the prosperity of the largest and most complete wind tunnel group in the future now.
The 180-meter level 4 wind is prepared for ordinary warriors, ensuring that they can shoot accurately under this condition with a little training. The windage correction area is prepared for elite warriors. With this, they can have a higher hit rate under more severe conditions.
Mr. Luo agreed with a smile and continued talking about the test data.
“The consistency of steel tubes is very good. You should have guessed this from the data just now, but this time we also tried it with the few plastic tubes.”
< br>"How is the situation?" Gao Zhendong is very concerned about this. After all, the plastic tube is the complete body.
“It’s pretty good. We took 3 of them for testing. The first shot of each plastic cylinder basically fell into the same data range as the steel cylinder, which can be considered consistent. Mr. Gao, you did a great job with this plastic bobbin. It is light and performs well, and the price is even cheaper after mass production." Mr. Luo was full of praise for the plastic bobbin. However, Gao Zhendong heard something different from his words: "First shooting? Have you reloaded?"
Mr. Luo smiled: "I know Mr. Gao understood it as soon as he heard it. Yes, after the first shooting, we looked at the appearance of the tube and it was okay. Anyway, we have made a lot of rockets, so we will try to reload each one." "
Gao Zhendong could have expected this. The 89 barrel itself can withstand multiple shots. According to rumors, it is less than 10 times.
The main reason why it is made disposable is that this thing is cheap, and when formulating its technical and tactical indicators, it has been decided that it is disposable. Reinstallation is very troublesome and unnecessary.
Unexpectedly, the comrades from the Changjian Factory also conducted such a test.
"How is the situation?" Gao Zhendong is also very interested in this result. Although he is not planning to make it reinstallable, the relevant performance of the package can be seen from this result.
Mr. Luo seemed to be very satisfied with this: "It's very good. Each barrel can withstand at least three reloading launches without much change in ballistic performance. This barrel is really strong. After the test, the comrades also liked it very much. I went back to the factory and sawed it open and used it as a flower pot, haha.”
Gao Zhendong was a bit dumbfounded. Cannon shell shells were used as vases. The romance of men across the country has not changed at all in decades.
"Don't hit the remaining two complete products, keep them for use." Gao Zhendong knew the total number and quickly warned.
Mr. Luo perked up on the other end of the phone: "Mr. Gao, are you ready?"
"Please tidy up all the test results and sort them out, right?" After thorough analysis, I made a report, plus the two plastic-bobbed trial bombs, and sent it to the capital for my signature and report to the National Defense Work Committee to give them a good news. "
Upon hearing this, Mr. Luo said, "That's okay. The anti-tank missile is still in the process of being developed. Let's do something small to add some joy."
Actually, his idea is not necessarily right. Judging from the production quantity and the functions it can play, this thing is not small at all.
In this context where infantry combat is still in close combat, this kind of direct attack firepower with a range of more than 150 meters is of great significance, especially in mountainous combat and street fighting where blitzkrieg is not possible and artillery support firepower is severely limited. in a combat environment.
No matter how you say it, Luo always feels that this thing can be done, especially with the endorsement of President Gao: "Okay, I will prepare this right away. Everyone is very interested and organize them Let’s do a surprise attack, and the report should be ready soon.”
Speaking of this, Gao Zhendong remembered that he had made a small change: “By the way, how was the test of the warhead I changed? ?”
Mr. Luo was a little hesitant: "Well, the penetration has decreased, about 5% to 8%. The equivalent penetration of 550mm is no problem."
Although he was a little worried, But Gao Zhendong was very happy when he heard this: "Great! You also wrote the situation of this improved warhead in the report, and let the Defense Working Committee and the user representatives choose which warhead to use."
"Mr. Gao, the penetration of this one has dropped, will they still choose this one?" The penetration of this thing became smaller and smaller as the penetration changed, and he was embarrassed to say that it was an improved warhead.
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "Just put it in, maybe they will really choose, haha."
Mr. Luo, who was confused by Gao Zhendong, heard this and also I had no choice but to agree.
Chief Engineer Gao can always think of things that ordinary people can't think of. In this regard, just do it yourself.
In fact, the improvement is not big. It mainly adds some prefabricated fragments to some areas of the warhead for anti-personnel purposes.
But for a full-time anti-tank shaped armor-piercing warhead, generally speaking, there is no fragmentation.
The armor-piercing mechanism of the armor-piercing warhead is very complex. This seemingly inconspicuous prefabricated fragment may greatly reduce the penetration depth of the warhead. In the worst case, the reduction is as high as 50 %, for an anti-tank warhead, it is completely worth the loss.
Coincidentally, Gao Zhendong was very interested in this issue in his previous life. I believe many military fans also have this confusion: Why doesn't the armor-piercing warhead add a fragmentation sleeve to further improve its anti-personnel capabilities?
So he went to look for the answer. The answer was not easy to find, but thanks to the Internet, he could still find it. He still remembered the answer very clearly.
So Gao Zhendong knows how to make trade-offs and strike a balance on this issue. There is a point in where these fragments are added to minimize the impact on the armor-piercing ability.
Considering that for current tanks, the penetration of 600 is too much, so Gao Zhendong decided to make an improved warhead to appropriately reduce the penetration in exchange for stronger Anti-personnel lethality.
That’s why he smiled so happily when he heard that his armor-breaking ability had only been reduced by 5% to 8%.
After obtaining the fragment, the 550mm static armor is still unique in this era, and there is no can that it cannot pry open.
Focused armor breaking, shock wave, high temperature, fragmentation are all available, it's worth it!
