Chapter 106 Chapter [-] The bazooka that has produced results
For this somewhat inexplicable request to attend the meeting, Zhou Changfeng guessed that the navy probably wanted to learn more about the true status of the Dutch and Indian troops.

The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy will never end in a hundred battles. In the past, the understanding was limited to intelligence. Now that someone has actually fought against it, it must be of reference value.

Because it's the day after tomorrow, so don't worry, just do your own business first.

He made a phone call to Yingtian Armory and asked Wang Huan'an to pick it up by name. He waited for a long time before a familiar voice came out of the phone.

"Mr. Zhou? I haven't seen you for half a month. I planned to invite you to observe it a few days ago."

"Sorry, I had a mission some time ago and went to another place."

"It's okay, I finished declaring the thing here, and the officials are all very interested, and the samples were ready at the beginning of the month."

"So fast?"

"Hey, it's just a few samples, not a production line. Why is that so difficult? Roll a few sections of thin steel plates, coil them into shape, punch the cover inside, and then assemble it. It takes a while. "

It would be a lie to say that I am not happy that my own ideas can be turned from blueprints into real objects so quickly.

"This thing is amazing. The static test was carried out the morning before yesterday, and the [-]mm nickel-manganese steel plate penetrated easily. We hung a piece of pork behind the steel plate. Tsk tsk, it's so rotten and mushy, it's uneatable."

The mere 50㎜ is naturally worn casually, and who is looked down upon.

Zhou Changfeng asked: "What about the maximum efficiency? Is it over a hundred?"

"That's not true. If two pieces are stacked together, the drill will not penetrate. The limit is about 85 millimeters. But if this is the case, even if it is pierced, the aftereffect will be very poor, and it may not kill anyone."

In actual combat, it is best to ensure that the penetration depth is one-third greater than the thickness of the target armor, otherwise the metal jet may not have enough power to destroy the inside of the target.

The static armor penetration depth is about 85mm, so in actual combat, it can probably cause effective attacks on vehicles with 40-50mm thick armor, and it is not a problem to deal with most tanks in the early and middle stages of the war.

Throughout the world, probably only the frontal armor of Matilda II and Shire B1 can defend against it.

When the heavy tanks in the middle and late stages appear, they can be dealt with only by increasing the warhead. In history, the warhead of the Tekken 60 has a charge of up to 800g, and the static armor penetration depth exceeds 140mm.

Today's rocket launcher warhead has only 400g charge, and the drug cover is only a hemispherical inefficient mild steel material. It can be said that there is great potential for improvement.

If the cost, yield rate, and ease of production are not considered, if the charge of 800g is used, and the drug-shaped cover is changed to a horn-shaped copper material, the static penetration depth may be close to 200mm?
Of course, this is just thinking about it. A weapon suitable for a major war must make a trade-off between ease of production and combat effectiveness, so the core question comes to the old-fashioned aspect-quality first or quantity first?
【Efficacy and process difference of drug-type cover】

But from Zhou Changfeng's point of view, he felt that the Ming army, who was well versed in the doctrine of the mean, would not go to extremes?

He then negotiated a time with Wang Huan'an, and after two days, he would go to the arsenal to visit and witness his works with his own eyes.

The reason why it took two days was because he had to go to the Army General Hospital for a review first and take a film to get his pulse. Since the hospital was in the north and the arsenal was in the south, he didn't want to travel across half of Nanjing City from north to south on this hot day.

So he drove to the hospital the next day, and left with peace of mind when he learned that the cracked rib had recovered well.

He was supposed to leave the city from the Sanshan Gate, but when he passed Chaotian Palace West Street, he suddenly thought that Xia Xiaoshi's home seemed to be nearby?

After struggling for a while, he parked the car beside the road outside Dingjia Lane, and then walked slowly along the street following the address in his memory.

In the end, he stopped outside an ordinary courtyard, which was an ordinary small courtyard house, no different from the surrounding houses.

In Zhou Changfeng's impression, the value of this kind of small courtyard house in the capital ranges from 400 to [-] yuan. Dingjia Lane is located in the west of the city, but it is still in the urban area, so it costs more than [-] yuan, which is about the same in terms of prices. [-] million yuan in later generations.

It may seem expensive, but when you think about the exaggerated housing prices of Yanjing in later generations, the spacious and bright courtyard house in front of you doesn’t seem outrageous?
Although Xia Xiaoshi's family situation is not known yet, based on experience, Zhou Changfeng estimates that her family is probably a native of the capital, and this courtyard must have been passed down from the ancestors and then renovated.

Although he was a little worried about encountering the embarrassing scene of "it was her mother when the door was opened", Zhou Changfeng still knocked on the door.

"Come here, who is it?"

Zhou Changfeng was relieved when he heard the voice, and he deliberately lowered his voice and replied: "The messenger."

As soon as the door opened, Xia Xiaoshi, who was absent-minded and holding a book in her hand, suddenly changed her expression.

"Huh? Why are you?" She asked in surprise.

Zhou Changfeng shrugged and said with a smile, "Isn't it good?"

Although he originally just wanted to say hello, he still said "Why don't you go out for a meal?" Xia Xiaoshi readily agreed, saying that this time she would treat the guests.

Eating, chatting, and walking, it can be said that Zhou Changfeng was very comfortable all day on the [-]th.

The only fly in the ointment was that at the beginning, Xia Xiaoshi asked him to "wait for a while" before going out, but it turned out that the wait lasted for more than half an hour.

The second day after the good days turned out to be mixed. According to the requirements of the Ministry of War, Zhou Changfeng, dressed neatly, went to the Navy Department of the Ministry of War on the [-]th.

During the period, he was worried about being late because of the traffic jam during the morning rush hour, but fortunately, he finally arrived on time without any danger.

Today's Ministry of War has undergone four reorganizations and adjustments. It has jurisdiction over one department, two bureaus, three divisions and seven divisions - Department of Military Affairs; Ordnance Bureau, Military System Bureau; Army Department, Navy Department, Air Force Department; Military Political Department, Military Promotion Department, Quartermaster Division, Military Jurisdiction Division, Military Medical Division, Military Training Division, and Military Science Division.

The Ministry of Military Affairs, which was rebuilt more than [-] years ago, is very generous and can be called magnificent.

After explaining his intentions, a female clerk led him to a waiting room, poured tea and brought some snacks, and told him to wait a little longer, because the big bosses of the Navy Department were having a "short meeting".

However, the so-called short meeting had to wait for an hour. Zhou Changfeng finished a few snacks that were not enough to fit between his teeth, drank four or five cups of tea, and went to the toilet three times. He was not taken away until a quarter past nine. Went to a big room.

"Mr. Xu, he has arrived."

When the female voice came, the door opened, and several white figures walked in, taking another look at the military rank...

Good guy, one major general, one brigadier general and two lieutenant colonels.

The leading rear admiral is Xu Zhanming of the Dongyang Fleet. He looked at Zhou Changfeng who was standing upright, nodded slightly, and said with satisfaction: "This time I went to Nanyang to make a big fuss, and the disturbance was not small. How do you feel?"

The major general was about fifty years old, he looked more friendly, and he didn't have that feeling of keeping strangers away, so Zhou Changfeng replied without thinking: "Report, I feel good, and I even want to go there again."

Xu Zhanming laughed, and turned serious and said: "This statement...is it true?"
