Bright Sword Military System

Li Yunlong didn't believe in this kind of equipment at first. After all, he can hit far, powerful and accurate... How can there be such a good thing in the world?
However, when Wang Xuexin brought Li Yunlong to the temporary research institute and asked Skinny to show the anti-tank missiles, Li Yunlong had to believe it!

“它能击穿150MM厚的钢板！”斯金奈介绍道：“射程500到2000米，500米命中率大概20%，1000米到2000米的命中率大概35%……”

Li Yunlong was surprised when he heard this: "I said foreign devils, whether we shoot guns or cannons, the closer we shoot, the more accurate we are. Your thing is the other way around, the farther you shoot, the more accurate you are? Who are you lying to?"

Wang Xuexin stopped the translator and explained on his behalf: "Commander, this thing is different from a gun. It is manipulated by people to change the trajectory and aim at the target. Think about it...its speed is 120 meters per second, and 500 meters is about [-] meters per second. It only takes a little more than four seconds, and this person has hit the target before he even reacted, can he be accurate?"

Li Yunlong thought about it for a while, then nodded and said: "That's the reason. If it's 1000 meters to 2000 meters, there will be more than ten seconds of reaction time, so we have time to aim. Is that what you mean?"

"That's what it means!" Wang Xuexin replied.

Li Yunlong circled the anti-tank missile twice, and asked again: "Is it difficult to train a shooter? Isn't it, what coordinates and functions do you need?"

Li Yunlong had learned some knowledge of artillery observers before, in order to be able to command artillery at critical times, but he just gave up after learning trigonometric functions...It requires carefulness, patience and memory, and it is not suitable for people like Li Yunlong.

"No need!" Skinner took the control panel and explained: "The shooter only needs a few days of training. All he has to do is to point the sight at the target, and then control the flight of the projectile!"

Li Yunlong nodded in satisfaction after saying "oh", and then hooked Wang Xuexin's shoulder with a "hehehe" smile: "Let me just say, with our little Northeast here, why should we worry about it? Yes, yes." With this thing, I can fight back and avenge my brothers!"

"Leader!" Wang Xuexin reminded: "You can't be careless. It's really not difficult to control this thing, but it's difficult to hit it accurately!"

The main reason is that simulators have not yet been produced during this period, and the cost of training with live ammunition can only be described as "high": a missile costs several thousand dollars even without a warhead, which is one of the reasons why Yingjiang is unwilling to equip it one.

Another reason is that the hit rate is insufficient, only 35%, which is still the hit rate under indoor windless conditions.

More importantly, although the training of shooters is not difficult, it costs money: if you can successfully train a shooter with thousands of dollars, that’s all. A few hundred dollars... that's astronomical in this day and age.

And how can a shooter have to fly for more than ten minutes to feel a little bit?

How much will that cost?

Wang Xuexin didn't even dare to forget it!
Li Yunlong had no idea about this at all, and he slapped his chest loudly: "Don't worry, I will pick the most clever fighters from the army to be shooters, and I guarantee that they will not be worse than foreign devils!"

It was later discovered that things were not as simple as Li Yunlong thought.

The main reason is that most of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were farmers. They worked in the fields with their hoes facing the loess all day long, or they fought on the battlefield with their guns in their hands. Their hands and fingers were stiff. If you let it go up, it will go down disobediently, and it will often "burrow into the ground" as soon as it is launched.

The so-called "earth penetration" means that the fighters did not control the missile properly and the missile flew too low to the ground.

It's like a person who has never played a game console suddenly holds a gamepad. He doesn't know what those buttons are for, and his fingers are not flexible enough to achieve the unity of mind and hand. As a result, people in the game always don't listen to commands.

In this regard, Yingjiang R&D personnel have an advantage, because they usually do R&D work with relatively flexible fingers, which also means that what Skinner said is "not difficult" is "difficult" for soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

After collecting five missiles like this, Wang Xuexin felt that it was not an option to go on like this. He approached Skinner and asked, "Is the 35% hit rate too low?"

Skinner replied: "Comrade Commander, it is not easy to achieve a 35% hit rate. The shooter must aim at the target and control the flight trajectory of the missile. At the same time, he must observe the attitude and altitude of the missile..."

Wang Xuexin frowned when he heard this: "This is still on the training ground. If it is on the battlefield, there are fires and smoke, and there are still people running. Under such interference, is it possible to even hit 35% of the time?" Is it difficult to achieve?"

Skinner nodded helplessly: "In addition, due to the shooter's vision problem, the projectile is easily blended into the background and cannot be observed when the projectile flies one kilometer away, so the weather requirements are very high. In rainy or foggy days , Cloudy days... the hit rate will be greatly reduced or even unusable!"

Only then did Wang Xuexin understand why Yingjiang refused to equip this kind of anti-tank missile. The cost is high, the hit rate is low, the controllability is poor, and the visibility is greatly affected... It is better to equip dozens of rocket launchers to charge towards the target.

However, this is nothing surprising. It is normal for the first generation of anti-tank missiles to have defects of one kind or another.

After thinking about it, Wang Xuexin asked again: "Major, did you just say that a projectile one kilometer away will blend into the background?"

"Yes!" Skinner said: "Although there is a flame at its tail nozzle, it is not obvious by the smoke, and the observed flame is also lagging behind, so it is difficult to see the posture of the missile body!"

Wang Xuexin gave a "hmm" and asked, "What if we install a tracer tube at the tail of the missile?"

"A tracer?"

"Yes!" Wang Xuexin explained: "The brightness of the tracer tube can let the shooter see the position of the projectile through the smoke. At the same time, it can also display the trajectory of the projectile. The shooter can roughly judge the posture according to the trajectory..."

"It's great, Comrade Commander!" Skinner said, "This can effectively increase its hit rate, and it can also partially solve the dependence on the weather! Very good suggestion!"

"Also!" Wang Xuexin said again: "Why don't we use this tracer tube to make a simulator?"

"What simulator?"

"A simulator for training!" Wang Xuexin gave a plan: "It is also connected with a wire, which can be tens of meters away from the shooter. We put the tracer tube on a platform, and the wire can control the tracer tube up and down. Move and aim like a missile!"

Skinner immediately understood what the simulator was for, and nodded immediately: "Yes, you are right! We need something like this, and it is not difficult to make!"
