Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 731, passed the test
"By the way, I've prepared more than just this this time." Jiang Yan said, taking out another volume of design drawings.

"This is my newly developed high-explosive shock wave grenade. Its power is several times higher than existing products. It will become a powerful sidearm for soldiers. More importantly, it is relatively safe and relatively simple to manufacture."

Chief Wang took a deep breath and quickly took the drawing and looked at it carefully. He saw various complex parameters marked on it.

"Oh my god, the lethality of this grenade, if the parameters you wrote are true, then our firepower will go even further!" Chief Wang was shaking with excitement. Looking at the grenade design in his hand, I couldn't be happier.

This thing is something Jiang Yan found in his own space before. It is powerful and has a wide range of applications, and it will not be out of date even if it is stored for twenty or thirty years.

You must know that the military's combat philosophy in this era believes that the future will be a people's war. Under this guiding ideology, it is necessary to equip a large number of rifles, machine guns, rocket launchers, grenades, etc. that are simple and easy to operate. These weapons need to be easy to manufacture and cheap, and performance is secondary. The reason why we have such thoughts is related to our country's external environment, because our country's external environment was extremely bad during this period.

Under the idea of ​​"people's war", our country's demand for quantity of grenades and other light weapons far exceeds quality. There was a slogan at that time that "every man has a bomb." Under the guidance of this idea, the standard of our army's grenades was 40 per person. As a result, the inventory of Type 67 wooden handle grenades reached an astonishing one billion pieces, making the Type 67 wooden handle grenade the most manufactured hand grenade in the country and even the world.

However, with the grenade designed by Jiang Yan, even if it is mass-produced, it will not fall behind in future generations and can be used for daily consumption. As for the later Type 67 grenades, they are still left in the long river of history!
"Xiao Jiang, with the blessing of these new equipment, let's see who dares to invade our territory!" Chief Wang said excitedly, "Once we have tested it and received the approval, we will immediately mobilize the entire army to carry out the deployment of these equipment. Allotment!"

"You know, plateau operations take a huge toll on soldiers' physical strength. If every soldier has the assistance of an exoskeleton, their load-bearing and combat capabilities will be greatly improved!"

"And with defensive weapons such as body armor and grenades, my soldiers will be an invincible steel legion!" Chief Wang's eyes shone with excitement.

After watching Commander Wang leave, Wang Honghai patted Jiang Yan's shoulder excitedly: "Xiao Jiang, you are tailor-made for the army! If it weren't for your extraordinary attainments in mechanics, I wouldn't be able to bear it. I’m going to recommend you to the military department.”

"After completing your studies, we will be of the same mind from now on! If you need anything, please contact me directly!"

"Yes, I also believe that this batch of new equipment will have a revolutionary impact on plateau operations." Jiang Yan smiled and nodded.

"Haha, I also hope to contribute to the national defense." Jiang Yan said shyly.

"Thank you very much." Jiang Yan also returned the gift.

"Ah, I can't wait to see the soldiers wearing these advanced equipment!" Chief Wang clenched his fists and was extremely excited.

Chief Wang shook hands with Jiang Yan enthusiastically and said goodbye, then carefully protected the equipment drawings and left.

"I will start reporting and testing immediately, and try to update the equipment as soon as possible!" Commander Wang could not wait to rush back to the military headquarters to approve the documents immediately.

"Comrade Jiang Yan, on behalf of the entire army, I pay you the highest respect!" Commander Wang solemnly performed a standard military salute.

A week later, the test site at the foot of a certain mountain in Forty-Nine City was heavily guarded today, and it was also crowded with generals. Almost all the people who arrived were high-level generals, but Chief Wang was an inconspicuous one here.

There are several sets of exoskeleton armors placed on the table in the center of the test site. One of them is an armor designed by Jiang Yan. The other sets are armors designed by other confidential units using Jiang Yan’s drawings. Due to the different materials used , the colors are also different.

"Xiao Wang, let our soldiers put on this exoskeleton armor and start field testing." A chief with a Chinese character told Chief Wang. After Commander Wang gave an order, the soldiers participating in the test began to put on exoskeleton armor.

As a result, a group of soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms were quickly traveling through the rugged mountain road. They walked briskly, not at all as hard as ordinary people.

What’s even more surprising is that these soldiers carry far more equipment than ordinary people - body armor and helmets, grenades on their waists, rifles in their hands, and more than 100 kilograms of supplies on their backs.

However, they did not feel how heavy these things were at all. Instead, they moved as quickly as if they were not carrying any weight.

"Here, this new equipment given to us is so amazing!" A soldier stopped and looked back, looking up and down at his exoskeleton-style clothing, "I obviously carry so many things on my back, but I don't feel tired at all. It's so easy. Got it!"

"Yeah, I've never seen this kind of equipment before." Another soldier also stopped, "Especially this... exoskeleton, it's like a fairy weapon!"

A noncommissioned officer said calmly, "No matter who it is, his equipment design is really advanced and has directly improved our combat capabilities several times!"

"That's right, that's right. We used to have to pant when going up the mountain, but now it's better. Our steps are lighter than when we were on the ground." The soldiers all agreed.

"But the only bad thing is that this exoskeleton can generate heat and keep warm." A soldier said.

"This plateau is extremely cold at night. If this is used on the plateau, it will be a kind of enjoyment. You don't know that it is too cold on the plateau. This thing is like a stove. With this thing, we can continue marching all night on the plateau. No need to stop." A soldier who had served on the plateau said.

"This bulletproof vest is good. Having it means giving me an extra life."

"The most powerful thing is this grenade. It is several times more powerful than the previous ones. It is said to be enough to blow up a platoon of enemies." A soldier took out the new grenade from his waist and looked at it carefully.

"Tsk, tsk, such a small grenade has so much power, it's simply too scary."

"It's almost done. Pay attention to the speed of your feet. How many leaders are watching!" The officer following him saw that the test soldiers were getting more and more excited as they chatted and couldn't help but speak.

After the soldiers heard this, they all closed their mouths, but their feet did not slow down at all.

The test lasted for half a day, and the distance the soldiers ran almost reached their limit. After the soldiers came back, the technicians immediately began to conduct the test and asked the soldiers about their experiences. The questions they asked were quite detailed.

After calculations by several experts, the safe weight of the entire exoskeleton armor is between 90 kilograms and 100 kilograms. If it exceeds this weight, long-distance marches will cause varying degrees of damage to the exoskeleton armor, and among all the metal materials, Jiang Yan only uses carbon fiber and titanium. Alloy materials are much stronger than other metals in terms of load-bearing and maintenance.

So it was finally decided to use carbon fiber and titanium alloy materials to make this kind of exoskeleton armor. Then the production tasks began to be assigned to other factories, and Jiang Yan and his research institute also received a lot of orders.
