The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 171 Individual Soldier Cloud Explosion Bomb

Glass fiber is an inorganic metal material with excellent performance. It is made of six kinds of minerals, namely pyrophyllite, quartz sand, limestone, dolomite, colemanite and magnesia stone, through high-temperature melting, wire drawing, winding and weaving. It is often used as reinforcing material in composite materials, electrical insulation material and thermal insulation and heat preservation material.

Glass fiber has good insulation, strong heat resistance, good corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength.

The disadvantages are also obvious, that is, it is brittle and has poor wear resistance.

It has good adhesion to resin.

It is the perfect material for a disposable tool like a bazooka.

The disadvantages of brittleness and poor wear resistance are not disadvantages but advantages for disposable rocket launchers.

The price of Type 69 rocket launcher is 900 yuan, but the cost of this rocket launcher is only about 200 yuan, which is quite cheap.

Moreover, this rocket launcher can also be equipped with anti-tank armor-piercing shells, high-lethality fuel-air explosive bombs, incendiary bombs, smoke bombs, and grenades. It can be said that as long as the ammunition is needed on the battlefield, this rocket launcher can be equipped with it.

"What is a fuel-air bomb?" Li Guofu asked curiously.

Zhao Guoping also came over at this time, also with a curious look on his face: "Director, I've heard of rockets, but what is this fuel-air explosive bomb?"

"The fuel-air bomb is so powerful that it can almost be called the most lethal bomb besides a nuclear bomb." Liu Tao said with emotion.

Li Guofu's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but ask, "So exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration at all!" Liu Tao said, "When you see it, you will be shocked by its power."

The fuel-air bomb, also known as the air bomb or the fuel-air bomb, is actually equipped with fuel instead of explosives.

The main lethality of fuel-air bombs does not lie in destruction, and their destructive power is even much worse than that of conventional bombs.

What really makes this bomb called a sub-nuclear bomb is that it can instantly drain the surrounding oxygen to burn, and then generate high temperature and suffocation to achieve the purpose of killing.

"You don't believe it?" Seeing Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping's disbelief, Liu Tao chuckled and said, "How about this, tomorrow you go to Tianzhu Mountain, find a cave, put some chickens, ducks, cows and sheep in it, and let you see the power of the fuel-air explosive bomb."

"Director, we have a testing field here. I'll have someone release some chickens, ducks, cows and sheep." said Li Fuguo.

Liu Tao smiled and said, "That's fine!"

Li Fuguo called the soldiers and soon everything was ready.

Halfway up the mountain, there is a cave, in which there are some chickens, ducks, cows and sheep.

The soldiers of the combined battalion gathered together, and they were all curious about Liu Tao holding the green rocket launcher.

Liu Tao opened the fuel-air explosive bomb box, which was equipped with ten 80mm caliber fuel-air explosive bombs. Liu Tao loaded the fuel-air explosive bombs, half-crouched, carried the rocket launcher on his shoulder, and aimed his eyes at the optical sight, aiming at the cave 250 meters away.

With the trigger pulled, the shell flew out and hit the cave steadily.

"Hey, why isn't the sound very loud?!" Li Fuguo was a little surprised.

"How powerful can an 80-caliber rocket launcher be!" Liu Tao threw the rocket launcher in his hand away.

The launcher has been discarded now that the launcher has been completed.

Of course, it can also be recycled, reused and remanufactured.

"This fuel-air bomb is not as powerful as a normal bomb. It will burn all the oxygen in the cave and suffocate all the life inside." Liu Tao said. "We'll go up and take a look inside the cave later, and you'll know!" Liu Tao was very confident about the power of this fuel-air bomb.

Whether it's a flamethrower or a rocket launcher, it's no big deal for him now.

He is definitely a master in designing this kind of individual weapon.

It can be designed even without the help of a system.

Not to mention that with the help of the system, he can quickly complete the design and achieve the goals he wants to achieve.

As for the principle of the fuel-air bomb, it is actually very simple and he figured it out in less than a day.

After a while, they set out to see the cave.

When they saw the tragic situation inside the cave, Li Fuguo, Zhao Guoping and others gasped.

Because all the living things in the cave died, not to mention the chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, even the spiders and mice that were originally in the cave were all suffocated to death.

Li Fuguo couldn't help but think that if he fired such a shot at the enemies in the bunker or the cat hole, I'm afraid all the enemies inside would be killed.

"It's so terrifying! No wonder you call it the best bomb after the nuclear bomb!" Li Fuguo said in shock: "With this kind of power, there are no bunkers or cave fortifications that cannot be broken!"

"That's not the case. No weapon is perfect." Liu Tao smiled. "For example, we can equip them with oxygen cylinders to help them get through the initial lack of oxygen. As you can see, the explosion power of the fuel-air bomb is not that strong."

"Who would carry an oxygen tank all the time?" said Li Fuguo.

Liu Tao said: "This time we brought you fifty rocket launchers and fifty flamethrowers. More will be delivered tomorrow. The production is very large, so don't be reluctant to use them. Let the soldiers learn how to use them and practice well, so that they can use them well on the battlefield in the future!"

Whether it is the Type 80 flamethrower or the Type 80 rocket launcher, the production volume is not small.

The difficulty of this production is not even as difficult as that of a heavy machine gun.

The production cost is not high and it is completely affordable.

"Yes, Director!" said Li Fuguo.

Zhao Guoping was a little worried. "This kind of fuel-air explosive bomb is ridiculously powerful. Will it violate international law?"

Li Fuguo couldn't help but hesitate, because the Chinese army is a civilized army and will never do anything that would anger God and people.

Like last year's 'Red Dragon's Roar', all weapons were conventional, and no chemical weapons were used. Instead, it was the other side that used chemical weapons, which made the commander furious and ordered Lang Son to be razed to the ground.

"The fuel-air explosive bomb was developed by the United States. This weapon is not as polluting as a nuclear bomb and is not banned from use." Liu Tao smiled and said, "Your worries are unnecessary."

The fuel-air bomb was not developed for use as a weapon at the beginning, but to quickly open up helicopter landing sites in the jungles of Annan. However, it turned out to be surprisingly effective on the battlefield.

In the field of fuel-air explosives, the United States is at the forefront of the world. For example, the most powerful fuel-air explosive is the US BLU-82, which weighs 6.8 tons and has a direct killing radius of more than 500 meters. It can turn an area of ​​more than 500 meters into charcoal, and the shock of the explosion can be felt several kilometers away. From a distance, you can see the "mushroom cloud" rising from the explosion of a nuclear weapon.

Of course, in terms of individual weapons, Panshan Machinery Factory is definitely at the forefront of the world.

There are large and small fuel-air bombs, and they can even be launched from heavy machine guns or heavy sniper rifles, or from grenade launchers or sniper rifle grenades, or from anti-aircraft machine guns or tanks.

For example, a fuel-air bomb launched by a tank has a warhead weighing 25 kilograms, which is powerful enough to inflict heavy damage to the enemy. If several tanks fire at the same time, a "mushroom cloud" may be formed.
