Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 178 A few things at the end of the year (A)

The Chinese New Year begins in just a few days, and the employees in the factory are basically on vacation.Although the order has not been completed, it is almost there.Therefore, the factory leaders of B17 factory are not particularly anxious, so they give everyone a holiday in advance.This year has been very busy, and everyone has worked very hard. Jiang Chen and the leaders of the factory have also seen it.So Jiang Chen mentioned it in the Standing Committee, but he didn't expect to get the support of the big guys, so it was implemented smoothly.

However, there is still one department in the factory that is not on holiday, and that is the technology research and development center that Jiang Chen is in charge of.One is that the task of the R&D center is very heavy, and there are several R&D projects, which are urgently needed.For example, for the bazooka project, the higher-ups were in a hurry, and they put down the conversation, saying that if we can't do it, we will find someone else.The leaders of the factory also gritted their teeth and clapped their chests to promise this, so Jiang Chen didn't dare to neglect here.These two are the few projects that Jiang Chen is concerned about.This one is an optimization and upgrade of the original BZ82 gun family. This is not only a requirement of the military and foreign military users, but also a suggestion of civilian arms dealers in the United States and several countries.

The requirement of our military and foreign military is to address the various shortcomings that have been exposed after the military uses it, and then upgrade and transform it to develop a new and better firearm system.Of course, this is also beneficial, that is, if the newly upgraded firearms reach the field tests of various users, they will consider increasing orders.Jiang Chen and the others will definitely be very happy about this, because if this is the case, then they will have another production order for next year.This civilian firearm is actually different from military firearms. The biggest difference may lie in automatic and semi-automatic.In order to limit the power and range of use of civilian firearms, many countries stipulate that only semi-automatic rifles can be used.Although what Jiang Chen provided to these countries was also semi-automatic, after all, it was directly modified from the military model and was not specially designed, so this time these arms dealers asked Jiang Chen to develop a special civilian model.And as I said, there is no need to consider the cost issue, as long as the quality is good, the price is not a problem.Jiang Chen is also happy to see the result, the higher the price, the more money they will make, so why not do it.For this reason, Jiang Chen also specially ordered a variety of equipment from home and abroad to increase the production process of firearms and increase the value of the product.

This second is for the cottage, yes, you heard it right, it is the cottage.Now Jiang Chen and the others have patents on some firearms, of course the most important one is the patent on the rail system.Several people have this patent, so why can't Jiang Chen and the others make good use of it.For example, Jiang Chen and the others added guide rails and other accessories for individual combat to the 56 Chong 2 (Tito), such as laser sights, such as quick sight white light sights.For example, a strong flashlight, or this grab-and-go grenade launcher that was originally modified from the old American M79 40mm grenade launcher.However, this modified snap-on grenade launcher has now been officially produced after actual surveying and mapping in the factory.And it has been welcomed by many customers, making the sales volume quite considerable.For another example, Jiang Chen modified the old and beautiful M16, and after Jiang Chen's "design", it became an M4 assault rifle with rails.Jiang Chen didn't feel guilty or guilty about this, and he had already modified many firearms at this time, and he had a great time playing them.

The third is the grenade launcher mentioned above. Although it is just a counterfeit now, Jiang Chen will not let it just like this.In fact, Jiang Chen already has a goal in mind, and has already organized a dedicated research and development team to carry out research and development work.Jiang Chen has two expectations for this. The first one is to develop an automatic grenade launcher.This automatic grenade launcher will bring great changes to the way of fighting on the front line, and it is very suitable for the southern Xinjiang army that is now fighting highland warfare.Jiang Chen has been there, so he knows the actual situation there.In position defense battles, because of the minimum firing distance of mortars and the distance beyond grenades, it is basically a blind spot covered by our army's artillery fire.If you have this automatic grenade launcher, you can launch a large number of grenades to this area in a short time to suppress the enemy's attack.Since it is not like a firearm that can only shoot straight-line targets, it has a certain lethality to some enemies hidden behind the bunker, so it is especially suitable for defensive or offensive operations there.Moreover, Jiang Chen also talked about this matter with the leaders there when he was in southern Xinjiang, and got their strong support, so Jiang Chen and the others had to develop this weapon as soon as possible and put it into actual combat.

For the grenade launcher, the second is to develop the most famous sniper gun in the future.Jiang Chen always salivates every time he thinks of this.Because of lack of conditions, this project has not been started.Now that the conditions are in place, and there is a certain amount of technical accumulation in all aspects, so it is the most suitable to develop this big killer, and I am more excited when I think about it.The two sides engaged in a sniper battle, one with an ordinary sniper rifle and the other with a sniper cannon.What an interesting thing this would be.

This third project is actually the large-caliber sniper rifle that Jiang Chen has been looking forward to.Although it is only a few millimeters more, the difficulty has increased several times.First of all, there is the issue of the material of this firearm. Different locations have different requirements for materials.For example, the barrel must be made of hard high-carbon steel.But everyone knows that our country has always been a shortcoming in the research and development of this special steel. Sure enough, after Jiang Chen came into contact with it, he found out that this is really the case.He contacted several steel companies, but the samples they sent still did not meet Jiang Chen's requirements.Because a large-caliber bullet of 12.7mm is to be fired, this means that the bullet has more propellant, which generates stronger kinetic energy and doubles the pressure on the barrel.The velocity of the bullet is faster, which means that it corresponds to increased wear of the barrel ballistics.Therefore, if there is no excellent material, the rifling of a barrel may be smoothed after a few shots.The chamber pressure is an important factor that controls whether the bullet hits the target accurately. If this is gone, the accuracy of the gun will be gone.

There is also the issue of the strength of the gun body, which is also a difficult problem that cannot be ignored. 12.7 large caliber bullet, which means that the bullet has more propellant and thus more kinetic energy.This also means that its recoil will be stronger, and the force on the gun body will also be strengthened.How to increase the mechanical strength of the gun body while reducing the weight of the gun body is also a difficult problem before Jiang Chen and the others.
