Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 418

Skinner used a simple device to measure speed:
A wire is connected to the launch port of the rocket launcher, and a wire is connected to the target, and these two wires are connected to an instrument.

Wang Xuexin guessed that this instrument could accurately sense the launch time of the rocket and the time when the target was hit through the wire, so he got the flight time of the rocket.

Know the flight time, and then divide the flight distance by the flight time to get the accurate flight speed.

With a "chirp", when the rocket hit the target, the subordinate in charge of the instrument reported the speed: "Captain, 110 meters per second!"

Wang Xuexin thought it was a little funny, but he folded his hands and didn't speak.

Skinner looked at Wang Xuexin puzzled, and asked, "Did we do something wrong?"

"No, you didn't do anything wrong!" Wang Xuexin replied, "It should be said that we did something wrong."

"What do you mean?" Skinner asked suspiciously.

"Our rockets are handmade, Captain!" Wang Xuexin replied: "The charge, weight and even shape of each warhead are different, so..."

So Skinner understood.

If there is no standard for warhead weight, etc., it means that one hundred warheads will have one hundred speeds, so measuring speed is not very meaningful.

Skinner weighed the bazooka in his hand and said, "I don't understand how you made this thing under such conditions!"

Skinner always thought that it was hard enough for him to use his spare time or even his own savings to develop the rocket launcher without the support of the military. He did not expect that there was someone more difficult than him, and it was much more difficult.

But they are able to make better and more perfect rocket launchers under such difficult conditions.

"Can I have a look at your rocket launchers?" Wang Xuexin raised his head towards the several ammunition boxes they brought.

"Of course!" Skinner was a little nervous, like a student whose homework was randomly checked by the teacher.

Skinner opened the wooden box, took out a bazooka and handed it to Wang Xuexin, and said with a little embarrassment: "It still needs a lot of improvement, we need some time!"

Wang Xuexin saw that it was indeed an iron pipe, with only two handles and a trigger, which was much simpler than the rocket launchers used by the Eighth Route Army.

However, rockets are better than those of the Eighth Route Army, with well-proportioned shape, large caliber, and more charges.

Wang Xuexin didn't say much. With the help of Skinner, he test-fired a shot. The range was about the same, also more than [-] meters. After the jet of metal was sprayed, a piece was scorched, and it was still emitting black smoke for a long time.

Skinner explained: "This is hollow charge technology, it can penetrate a steel plate with a thickness of [-] millimeters!"

Wang Xuexin didn't speak, he was considering whether he needed this hollow charge technology.

It is true that the Eighth Route Army may not need to worry about the armor-piercing thickness of the bazooka, because most of the devils use light tanks with thin armor in China.

The question is...will the Devils keep using these thinly armored light tanks without thinking about it?

Wang Xuexin thinks this is unlikely.

The reason is that the war between the enemy and us is like a struggle between spear and shield.

The reason why the devils in history used light tanks on a large scale in China without improvement is because the Chinese army basically has no anti-tank equipment, and their thin-skinned tanks are already invincible in China, so there is no need to change them.

but……

Now because of the appearance of Wang Xuexin, the Eighth Route Army, the Jinsui Army and even the Recalcitrant Army have been equipped with anti-tank rocket launchers. The devils know that the tank armor cannot withstand the enemy's attack, but can they still send them to the front line?

Devils are not fools, they will also change according to the changing situation. It is impossible to know that the enemy's spear can pierce your own shield, and continue to go to the battlefield with such a shield.

In particular, the rockets of the Eighth Route Army at this time were only able to penetrate the armor of the Devils tanks. They only needed to increase the thickness of the armor by a few millimeters to resist the rocket launchers well.

Just like they hung sandbags on the outside of the tank and welded a circle of shell casings.

This is what people say, "the height of the Tao is one foot, and the height of the devil is ten feet high." The progress of the Chinese army will force the progress of the devils.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin believes that he must have this kind of foresight, and he should not take it for granted that the devils can't do anything about it. After all, the devils' industrial capabilities are much stronger than China's at this time, so their ability to make changes according to the needs of the battlefield is also much stronger. .

Otherwise, it will be the Huaxia army who will suffer on the battlefield in the future.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuexin said: "Captain, I hope to get this kind of technology. In exchange, I will help you improve the rocket launcher. What do you think?"

Skinner froze for a moment.

Improving the bazooka is exactly what Skinner hoped for and the purpose of his trip, but he still felt that Wang Xuexin was talking to the lion.

The hollow charge technology is a patent they bought from a Swiss engineer for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and to improve the rocket launcher...Skinnai didn't think Wang Xuexin would be able to see the shortcomings and improve it so quickly.

Therefore, Skinner did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "For example, what aspects do you think it needs to improve?"

What Skinner didn't know was that it was too easy for Wang Xuexin... As a modern person and a retired soldier who is very interested in weapons, Wang Xuexin knew the development process of the bazooka, and of course Know what its downsides are.

If it doesn't work, Wang Xuexin will buy a set of finished products of modern bazooka rocket launchers. If it is different, it will need to be changed. It must be correct.

So Wang Xuexin took a rocket and raised the warhead, saying: "For example, the warhead you use is too sharp. This kind of sharp warhead may not have any problems when fired at a high angle, but it is very difficult to launch it at a low angle. It is easy to be affected by the airflow and deviate from the target, which is not a small problem on the battlefield!"

Skinner couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, because it did happen in the experiment, and the low-angle experiment always failed to hit.

Previously, Skinner thought it was due to accidental factors, such as wind changes, shooter aiming and other issues, but now that Wang Xuexin said so, he realized that it might be a problem with the warhead.

What surprised Skinner even more was that Wang Xuexin could draw a conclusion just by looking at the shape of the warhead.

However, Skinner quickly gave a corresponding explanation on his own. They must have encountered similar problems in actual combat, so they knew this.

Then Skinner secretly rejoiced that this trip was not in vain, and these experiences cannot be obtained in the laboratory.

"How about it, Captain?" Wang Xuexin asked: "You give technology, we give experience, it's fair, and it's also the goal of our cooperation, don't you think so?"

Skinner nodded and said, "But this is not something I can decide. I need to ask my superiors for instructions!"

"Of course!" Wang Xuexin replied.

But Wang Xuexin thinks there will be no problem with this, because it is not harmful to Ying Jiang.
