The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 188 Can cloud explosive bombs be transformed into individual soldiers?

As a result, the test results were astonishing. The individual patrol missile can be launched from a distance of ten kilometers. After launch, it will automatically search for the target. Once found, it will immediately launch an attack and destroy the target.

The young Man Guangzhi witnessed the entire process and was completely shocked.

He thought to himself, is this the power of technology?

Is this too strong?

In fact, China has already had individual anti-tank missiles.

China's earliest anti-tank missile is the Hongjian 73, which is a copy of the AT3 anti-tank missile of the Bear Country.

Before the emergence of the Red Arrow 73, our main anti-tank means were the Type 69 rocket launchers and various recoilless rifles.

Individual anti-tank missiles are indeed very effective. As long as they are aimed and fired, they can often hit the target with one shot.

Its effective distance range is also quite large, and it can destroy enemy tanks within a range of 100 to 4000 meters.

Therefore, it has also been equipped with troops for many years.

To this day, many units of the Army are still using it.

However, even so, this individual cruise missile is still far more advanced than an anti-tank missile!

Because it launches farther and strikes more accurately!

There is no need to aim at all. After launching, it can independently find the target.

It can also be remotely controlled by humans to attack more precious enemy targets.

This is much better than the Red Arrow 73.

Today, the Army guys really opened their eyes.

They never dreamed that there would be such smart and easy-to-use weapons in the world.

The most important thing is that this individual patrol missile is not much more expensive than an anti-tank missile, and its cost advantage is actually pretty good.

After Li Yunfeng watched the test firing, he held Zhang Zhipeng's hand tightly and said, "Thank you, Comrade Zhipeng! We are very satisfied with the two weapons you helped us come up with and like them very much!"

"I hope you can continue your efforts and bring us bigger surprises."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "You're welcome! I just did what I should do! I have another question here. What do you think is the most difficult battle in a war?"

Qiu Haotian rushed to say this time: "In my opinion, it must be a tough battle."

"The enemy's strong bunkers formed a crossfire and occupied key areas. At this time, the time for the general attack is coming soon. If we don't pull out the strongholds, we will not be able to advance, and more brothers may be sacrificed."

"Such a battle is the hardest to fight."

"However, we now have flamethrowers that can specifically target the fortress."

Zhou Mingke curled his lips and said: "The range of the flamethrower is too close, so we still need brothers to get closer to it."

"I think that in this case, it would be good to use loitering bombs. Aim at the opponent's fortress machine gun hole, drill directly into it and blow it up. The effect should be good."

Qiu Haotian retorted: "The cruise missile is too big. If it rushes towards the machine gun hole of the bunker at high speed, it will probably not be easy to get in. It will only explode outside the machine gun hole, right?"

The two began to bicker in front of Zhang Zhipeng again.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Don't quarrel anymore, you two. What you said makes sense."

"It's really not easy for a cruise missile to get into a bunker."

"But, maybe we don't need to let it get into the bunker!"

"As long as the explosion is powerful enough, even if it explodes in the machine gun hole of the bunker, it can still destroy the entire bunker!"

Li Yunfeng, who had been watching the quarrel between Qiu Haotian and Zhou Mingke with a smile, his eyes lit up when Zhang Zhipeng said this: "Does Comrade Zhipeng have any new ideas?"

Qiu Haotian and Zhou Mingke also stopped arguing at this time, and they both looked at Zhang Zhipeng with bright eyes.

Zhang Zhipeng chuckled and said: "My idea is to create a loitering bomb with a cloud explosive agent filled in the warhead!"

"Of course, you can also build individual rocket cloud bombs! But they are not as accurate as the loitering bombs!"

Qiu Haotian's eyes suddenly widened.

"Cloud explosion bomb? I'll go! Comrade Zhipeng, our country is indeed developing cloud explosion bomb, but it has not been completed yet. This is the news I heard." Qiu Haotian said.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled slightly and said: "Actually, cloud explosive bombs are not that difficult. I accidentally saw a document about Juxiong's development of cloud explosive bombs before."

"As for me, I only thought about it occasionally."

"I think cloud bombs can be miniaturized, and there's no problem at all."

Zhou Mingke shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to miniaturize the cloud bomb, right?"

"I read foreign information. The cloud blast bombs of Lao Mo and Giant Bear are quite big, weighing several tons."

Cloud bombs, known as sub-atomic bombs, are extremely lethal. In addition to the absence of nuclear radiation, they also contain high-temperature and high-pressure shock waves. In addition, after they deflagrate, they will consume a wide range of oxygen in a short period of time. If you do it, everyone in the explosion area will suffocate to death.

Therefore, cloud explosion bombs are also called suffocation bombs.

This thing is used to explode in a confined space. It is basically 100% lethal and will not leave a single person alive. The effect is very huge.

Therefore, using it to blow up trenches and fortresses is very useful.

In the early 90s, China obtained relevant technologies from Damao through technical exchanges.

However, you still need to do your own research and development.

In the previous life, China's cloud explosive bomb would not be developed until 2000.

Foreign cloud explosive bombs are indeed quite large, generally weighing two to three tons.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "I think there is no technical difficulty in miniaturizing cloud explosive bombs!"

"How about I try and see if I can do it in a short time?"

When Li Yunfeng heard this, he was very excited: "Okay! Then I'll trouble Comrade Zhipeng."

"If you can come up with a miniaturized cloud bomb, your contribution will be great."

"This thing is exactly the killer weapon we need most!"

"Foreign countries have it, but we don't. I feel really uncomfortable."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "I'm just like you. There are some in foreign countries but we don't have them. I feel the same way in my heart!"

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me!"

At this time, Man Guangzhi plucked up the courage and said: "You can even produce high explosives such as CL20, so thermobaric bombs will definitely be no problem."

Zhang Zhipeng glanced at Man Guangzhi with a smile and said, "Thank you for the encouragement! Xiaoman, you are also very good! Let's work hard together!"

This encouragement made Man Guangzhi extremely happy.

He quickly raised his chest and said: "I will work hard! I strive to become an excellent commander! Please rest assured, Comrade Zhipeng!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and nodded, and said to Zhou Mingke, the commander of the blue brigade: "Comrade Mingke must train more Comrade Xiaoman. He is very smart and talented, and he is a good material to lead troops!"

Zhou Mingke said: "Comrade Zhipeng, don't worry! As long as Xiaoman comes to our brigade, I will definitely focus on training him!"

He turned to Man Guangzhi and said, "Xiao Man, Comrade Zhipeng said some kind words for you, why don't you thank me quickly!"

Man Guangzhi quickly thanked Zhang Zhipeng.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "Thank you for nothing! You will be very popular in the army in the future. If you don't live up to our expectations, I will be satisfied!"

Li Yunfeng left with the army observation group.

Before leaving, he said to Zhang Zhipeng: "Comrade Zhipeng, once a small cloud explosive bomb is developed, you must tell me as soon as possible."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Don't worry about this!"

"I will definitely inform you as soon as possible!"

Li Yunfeng added: "The drone factory will also start to be built, right?"

"We are really eager to use weapons like drones and loitering bombs as soon as possible, haha!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Don't worry!"

"We have already started building a drone factory."

"My Huaxing Group may turn into a military factory if I'm not careful! Haha!"

Li Yunfeng said: "Comrade Zhipeng, you have the ability and skills, so it is normal to help the country share more burdens!"

"If you need any help from me, just call me directly and I will try my best to help!"

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said: "I will!"

"Please don't worry about this!"

Li Yunfeng and others left.

Zhang Zhipeng went back to his intense work.

He wants to build a drone factory.

Things like building factories and training employees also require his attention.

Of course, he just assigned the task and left it to others.

Huaxing Group is now strong and well-funded, and it is now a key enterprise in Qin Province and even the country, so it will basically not encounter any obstacles.

Just like that, another twenty days passed. Zhang Zhipeng led the team to develop the cloud explosive agent, experimenting bit by bit, and deploying it bit by bit.

This cloud bomb contains not explosives but a high-explosive fuel.

Explosives rely on their own oxygen supply during the red reaction.

The cloud blast agent can make full use of the oxygen in the explosion area. When it explodes for the first time, the cloud blast agent will be evenly thrown away, mixed with the air, and then violently explode over a wide range. It is known as Clouds and mist exploded! A super high-temperature super shock wave is formed in a short period of time, and at the same time, the oxygen within the explosion range is instantly consumed. Even if people within the explosion range are not burned to death or killed by the shock wave, they will die of suffocation due to lack of oxygen.

Therefore, the lethality of cloud explosion bombs is not generally powerful.

For a long time, the formula of cloud explosive agent was actually monopolized by Lao Mo.

Even if Hua got some information from Damao, it was actually not complete.

You still have to explore on your own bit by bit.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to get it done after several years.

Zhang Zhipeng had systematic help, and his skills in chemistry were now at the highest level. Therefore, the cloud explosive agent he developed was more powerful than Lao Mo and Da Mao.

There are actually considerable technical difficulties in miniaturizing cloud explosive bombs.

This is mainly because, even during the experiment, this thing is very dangerous and must have strong safety measures. If the safety measures are not in place, it may lead to catastrophic consequences.

In fact, researching cloud explosives is also a very dangerous job.

More than twenty days later, Zhang Zhipeng finally came up with a more powerful cloud explosive formula. He immediately threw himself into the work of making small cloud bombs.

The main components of cloud explosives are aluminum hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, carbon black, ammonium nitrate, polymers, etc.

In fact, these materials will only deflagrate after a chemical reaction.

Zhang Zhipeng led his team to work hard in the laboratory for more than ten days, and finally built a miniaturized cloud burst bomb.

This miniaturized cloud burst bomb weighs only 10 kilograms and has no problem being mounted on the warhead of a loitering missile.

He was busy for a few more days, combining small cloud burst bombs with loitering bombs, and a new type of loitering bomb was successfully manufactured.

Zhang Zhipeng called Li Yunfeng and told him that he had built a cloudburst cruise missile.

Li Yunfeng was very happy when he heard this.

"Okay! Okay! Comrade Zhipeng! I'll rush over right away."

Li Yunfeng flew to Chang'an in a hurry.

After arriving in Chang'an, he immediately rushed to Zhang Zhipeng's experimental workshop.

Zhang Zhipeng told him about his experiments with cloud explosive bombs.

"Comrade Yunfeng, generally speaking, the power of our cloud burst bomb is quite powerful. Theoretically, after our 10 kilogram cloud burst cruise missile explodes, its killing range can reach 80 meters. Within this range All living things within will be killed.”

"Its lethality is particularly powerful in confined spaces and plays a huge role in attacking trenches, fortresses and street fighting buildings..."

Li Yunfeng nodded repeatedly while listening and said: "Good stuff! Have you tested it?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and shook his head and said: "We just tested the deflagration effect of the newly developed cloud explosive agent in the laboratory."

"However, we have not tested this small cloud burst cruise missile yet."

"How about we go test it now?"

Li Yunfeng nodded and said: "Okay! Give it a try! If it is really effective in bunkers, trenches, and street battles, then you have filled a gap! Haha!"

"We really lack such weapons now!"

So, Zhang Zhipeng and others came to the exercise ground of the Qin Provincial Military Division again.

There are various facilities to test the power of weapons.

Of course, bunkers are indispensable among them.

Bunkers can be said to play a very important role in positional warfare.

A strong fortress with walls at least half a meter thick and made of reinforced concrete, even heavy artillery may not be able to destroy it at once.

In the traditional sense, a fire fortress is divided into two levels. If the opponent's firepower is too strong, the defenders on the upper level can retreat to the next level to avoid it.

After the opponent's firepower has passed, the soldiers go up and continue the sniper infantry attack.

If the bunker forms a crossfire and lies across the main route of the attack, it will make it difficult for the attacker to advance.

Zhang Zhipeng and Li Yunfeng first took a look at the condition of the bunker to be tested.

The bunker is about 2.3 meters high, semicircular in shape, with walls 60 centimeters thick and made of reinforced concrete.

There are two shooting holes in the front of the bunker.

These shooting holes look quite large from the outside, but the openings close to the inner wall of the bunker are only 14 centimeters.

The shooting hole is opened like this to facilitate the people inside to observe outside.

When the machine gun pokes out from the shooting hole to fire, the range of the strike can also be larger.

The entrance to the bunker is at the back. After entering, you can find that the space inside the bunker is not small, and it can easily accommodate a dozen people.

There are stairs in the middle of the bunker that you can walk down, and there is a hiding place below.

It is not unusually difficult to blow up such a bunker.

The person in charge of the exercise ground is named Tian Mingjun.

Tian Mingjun smiled and said to Zhang Zhipeng: "We built this bunker to practice bunker assault."

"This thing is not ordinary strong."

"We used mortars, explosive charges, and even heavy artillery but we couldn't destroy it."

"In short, it is not easy to win the battle of the bunker quickly."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled lightly and said: "Solid bunkers are indeed a nightmare for the attacking side."

"But I think the weapon we brought today can effectively attack fortifications such as bunkers."

Tian Mingjun said with a respectful smile: "What Comrade Zhipeng has come up with must be very powerful, so today I am going to open my eyes."

Tian Mingjun was thinking in his heart: Maybe the most effective way to attack the fortress is a tank, right?

The tank can shoot flatly and has thick armor, so it can withstand the intensive firepower fired from the bunker.

However, with the current availability of recoilless guns and armor-piercing rockets, it is difficult for tanks to easily attack bunkers.

The people in the bunker will not sit still and wait to die!
But Tian Mingjun would definitely not go against Zhang Zhipeng.

Before the new weapon test began, Zhang Zhipeng asked people to throw a dozen caught frogs to the second floor of the bunker.

Then a few snakes, mice and other small creatures were thrown in on the first floor.

A dummy was placed in the shooting hole to be struck, and a machine gun barrel protruded from the shooting hole.

Zhang Zhipeng saw the puzzled look on Li Yunfeng's face and asked with a smile: "Does Comrade Yunfeng have anything to say?"

Li Yunfeng smiled and said: "The vitality of these little things you put in is much stronger than humans. It is not easy to kill them."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "You will know after you try it later!"

Everything is ready and testing begins.

About a thousand meters away, Zhang Zhipeng asked someone to put a personal cruise missile launcher on his shoulder and pull the trigger at the bunker.

"Whoosh!"

A cloud burst cruise missile flew out of the launch tube.

This cruise missile flew extremely fast and arrived in front of the bunker in almost the blink of an eye.

Because it had already locked onto a firing hole in the bunker when it was launched, the cruise missile went straight to the firing hole without any hesitation.

This cruise missile is only about eleven or twelve centimeters in diameter.

It avoided the machine gun barrel protruding from the shooting hole and went directly into the bunker.

"boom!"

There was an explosion first.

However, there was really not much movement. There was smoke coming out of the shooting hole and the ventilation hole above.

Tian Mingjun thought to himself that the explosion was so small that it must not be very lethal. Maybe this Zhang Da scientist will fail in his performance this time?
Li Yunfeng had almost the same idea. He believed that this test probably failed.

Just as they were thinking this, the second detonation of the cloud bomb had already begun.

"boom!"

This explosion was actually not too loud, but there were violent fireworks coming out of the shooting holes and ventilation holes.

The entire area around the bunker was shrouded.

The shock wave of the explosion and the high temperature emitted were even felt by Zhang Zhipeng and Li Yunfeng, who were a thousand meters away.

"Oh! This explosion seems to be quite violent. However, I think there seems to be nothing wrong with the bunker..." Li Yunfeng said.

"A burst of hot air hit my face! It was a bit burning. I wonder how high the temperature at the core of the explosion must be!" Tian Mingjun also murmured.

Now, Tian Mingjun understood: the weapon Zhang Zhipeng created was different from anything he had seen before!

This new type of bomb seems to be quite powerful!
Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "Strictly speaking, this cloud bomb is not known for its violent explosion."

"It just exploded violently in a closed space, instantly generating a high temperature of up to 2500 degrees and a violent shock wave. At the same time, because of the depletion of oxygen in the space, even those who were hiding in a corner and were not hit by the high temperature and shock wave would... Suffocated to death!"

"We can go in and take a look later!"

After a long while, the fireworks dissipated.

Zhang Zhipeng and others slowly approached.

"It seems the temperature inside this bunker is still not low!"

Tian Mingjun wore gloves and opened the bunker door.

A wave of heat hit my face.

The inside of the bunker has completely changed. The walls and floors are all dark, and all the dead leaves and hay on the ground are gone.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Let's wait a little longer! Looking at it like this, the temperature inside should still be 60 or 70 degrees. Moreover, I estimate that the oxygen inside is still very thin."

"Ventilate the bunker first."

Several people waited for more than an hour before the temperature in the bunker gradually returned to normal.

After putting a chicken in and seeing if it was okay inside, Zhang Zhipeng took the lead and walked in.

When I went in and took a look, I saw that the inside was bare, dark, and completely dead. None of the living creatures that were originally put inside were gone.

On the first floor of the bunker, Zhang Zhipeng finally found a trace of a snake on the ground, but he couldn't dig it out with his hands.

On the underground level of the bunker, the frogs inside had not yet been carbonized, but none of them were alive. They were all dead.

Li Yunfeng saw the entire explosion scene inside the bunker and said happily: "This cloud explosion bomb is so powerful. It seems that it only takes one shot to completely destroy a bunker!"

Tian Mingjun smiled and sighed: "The most important thing is that it is an individual weapon and can be operated by one person."

"This thing can definitely become a big killer for the Army!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled. Just as he was about to speak, his cell phone rang.

He took out his cell phone and took a look at it, and found that it was Guo Zaijie calling.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Comrade Zaijie called me, I guess he also heard some news."

Li Yunfeng became a little nervous when he heard this: "Comrade Zhipeng, after your cloud explosive bombs are mass-produced in the future, they must be given priority to our army!"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Don't worry!"

"As long as it enters the production stage after being approved, this thing will definitely be enough, and there will be no problem in giving priority to your army. I will answer the phone first."
