Chapter 192 The First Appearance of the 80mm Bazooka
It was already April when Dongzi and his party were sent away. This made Jiang Chen feel a little bit emotional. Time flies so fast. I didn't think I had been here for two years.From strangeness at the beginning to familiarity to love now.From being lonely at the beginning, and then having everything, there are parents who love me, there are sweet lovers who love each other, there are brothers who love Wu Zun, and there are leaders who care about him.Up to now, he still feels that this is like a dream. He who struggled so desperately in the society in his previous life, just because of a coincidence, he went back to the past and became the Jiang Chen he is now.It is precisely because of this adventure that Jiang Chen cherishes everything he has now.

All the researchers who participated in the paramotor project were given a long vacation to let them have a good rest. After such a long time of research work, everyone was exhausted physically and mentally.Although the current conditions are not met, and Jiang Chen can't arrange any travel, but a long vacation is still possible.On this point, Jiang Chen can still make a decision, because they are not state-owned enterprises after all, and are not bound by those rules and regulations.This made several project labs under the B17 Factory Technology Research and Development Center very jealous, and they all wandered around Jiang Chen to see when such a long vacation could be held.Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said that it was difficult for him to do it.The first is that there are no decent products, and the second is that their vacations are not controlled by Jiang Chen.But Jiang Chen also said, let them work with peace of mind, and Jiang Chen will help them coordinate one or two when the results come out.

Now the development of this 80mm rocket launcher has reached the final stage of tackling critical issues. If these problems are solved, then the development will be considered a success.It's about this material, which is relatively professional. Although Jiang Chen can give some guidance, he can't do it in deeper aspects.Because even in later generations, the core technology of materials is kept secret, so even Jiang Chen who comes from later generations has no way of knowing.

What Jiang Chen can do now is to provide all conveniences for their research.For example, in order to be able to crack this hard nut, Jiang Chen also creatively assembled a professional seminar on this aspect to analyze and overcome this problem.Of course, this symposium is not an academic conference that just drinks tea and chats, and does nothing like the later generations.Jiang Chen personally presided over this seminar, gathering experts from various fields to discuss and then find out the solution.In addition, the research laboratory of the B17 factory and the laboratory of the service company will be combined to form a technological innovation research and development association.Then make full use of the laboratories in various fields under this federation to serve a certain project, thereby helping them speed up their research process.

However, scientific research should not be rushed. The more anxious you are, the more you will backfire, and in serious cases, there will be troubles and accidents.Jiang Chen can still understand this aspect, so he also gave the researchers below enough time to work with peace of mind.But he was miserable. Not only was he being urged by the Science and Industry Committee every day, but Lu Chunyang, the military representative in the factory, was also pestering him every day, forcing the process.Jiang Chen and Jiang Chen also took it upon themselves, in order not to put pressure on the staff below.

Finally, after some hard work, this project has finally made substantial progress.The part where I was stuck before was successfully resolved.What's the problem? It's about the high temperature of the nozzle of the rocket's tail, which caused the nozzle to deform.Although this has no effect on the launch, it has a very important impact on the flight of the rocket.Due to the deformation of the nozzle, the direction of the exhaust jet of the rocket changes when it is flying.As a result, the flight attitude of the rocket is changed, causing it to turn, so that it cannot hit the target accurately.And because the deformation is random, you can’t figure out where the rocket can fly after it’s launched. It’s possible that you launched it one second, and it will fly back in a circle in the next second. .

In fact, the solution is very simple, that is to replace with ceramic products.Before, everyone was in a cycle, thinking about how to change metal or process metal, and never considered replacing it with other items.And after Jiang Chen knew about this problem, he also fell into this vicious circle at first, and didn't think of a solution for a long time.It wasn't until one day that he accidentally saw a piece of porcelain that he realized why we couldn't use porcelain instead.When Jiang Chen told this idea to other people in the project, they were all enlightened and immediately agreed with Jiang Chen's suggestion.After having this idea, they immediately carried out the implementation. Unexpectedly, after several experiments, they succeeded.And because the temperature is controlled, it means that the amount of propellant can be increased in the rocket, thereby increasing the range of the rocket.

The following things progressed very quickly, and soon the project team took out samples.After several test launches by them, they were all very successful.And this rocket launcher is comparable to the previous 120mm rocket launcher to some extent.Especially in terms of armor piercing, it is even worse.And it is lighter than the 120 rocket launcher, basically the weight of the empty barrel is less than half of the 120 barrel, and the rocket is also much lighter and smaller.So after Jiang Chen's design, the ammunition carrier was changed from vertical to horizontal.Such a soldier can carry five rounds of rockets (including three rounds of conventional rounds and two rounds of armor-piercing rounds) at a similar weight, which increases its ability to deal with the battlefield.In fact, before 120, there was such a distress, that is, the power is too big, it is too big, so it may be a bit wasteful.For example, this can deal with 800mm fortifications, but if you use it to deal with brick walls, isn't this a bit overkill.Moreover, a bazooka team has a minimum of two people and can only carry two rockets, which is far from enough for combat.Now with this, the same two-person bazooka team can carry five rockets, and even the launcher who carries the bazooka himself can carry two or three if necessary.Get fully prepared for a protracted war.

The rocket launcher was developed and tested a few times before it was robbed by Lu Chunyang, a military representative.The good name is that they helped Jiang Chen and others to test, and Jiang Chen was already used to this.But he also understands that since the higher-ups are so urgent, they must be in a hurry to use it, and he has no complaints about it.Besides, having them help Jiang Chen and the others to test would save them a lot of work, so why not do it.
