Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1424 Even half the effort is a success

"Old Liu, do you understand?"

Among the excited crowd, Yang Youning looked at the completely opposite results in front of him, feeling hard to accept but having to face it.

"I kind of understand!"

Liu Huaimin looked at the armor and nodded slightly.

"This thing should have a protective effect!"

After understanding the benefits of reactive armor, Liu Huaimin still understood its value even after leaving the line of fire.

This, this is equivalent to installing another layer of armor on the armored vehicle.

Moreover, this thing is not heavy and does not affect mobility. It is definitely a good thing.

Liu Huaimin remembered that when he first went to the alliance to inspect, they were looking for thicker and larger heavy tanks.

As for why tanks are becoming more bulky, it is not caused by the increasing variety of shells.

Not to mention anything else, as for the black gold warhead produced in China, if you want to deal with such artillery shells, the armor thickness of ordinary tanks is not enough.

I also heard that the new artillery shells developed by the alliance also have strong penetrating capabilities.

This is also the mainstream contest between spear and shield today.

Whoever's spear is sharper and whose shield is stronger will have the advantage.

What Yang Xiaotao is doing now is to turn a medium tank into a heavy tank, but its mobility will not change.

This thing is a good thing, but it must be successful!

Liu Huaimin was not as excited as others because he knew that it was only part of the experiment and was still far from success.

Liu Huaimin calmed down, and Yang Youning also knew that he had to listen to Yang Xiaotao on this matter, and then wait patiently for the result.

After a while, I heard Yang Xiaotao continue to speak.

"Bring up the cannon."

Yang Xiaotao waved and shouted to the back. Everyone looked and saw that even Wang Hao led a group of people and pushed out a 92 infantry gun from behind.

"Where did this thing come from?"

Wang Guodong took two steps forward and looked at the launched artillery.

When I was young, this thing was the treasure of every army.

With such a cannon, it is even more honorable to talk about it.

Of course, now that they have better artillery, this kind of firepower has been reduced to second-line firepower.

But even so, it cannot belittle its power.

Liu Huaimin looked back at Zhao Chuanjun, who explained.

The security force of the machinery factory is quite large.

Small rifles, heavy machine guns, and grenades are all standing weapons, and larger mortars, howitzers, and rocket launchers are also common.

There are also many anti-aircraft guns for air defense, but some outdated infantry guns like this are basically kept in warehouses as decorations!

Wang Hao touched his head, "I originally wanted to build a bigger one, but our place is a bit small."

"Team Liang took this gun out of the warehouse."

Liang Zuoxin took two steps forward and touched the somewhat rusty gun barrel, "This gun can still be used!"

"It can also fire armor-piercing projectiles. It's no problem to hit an 80mm steel plate from meters away. It's just for use this time."

Liu Huaimin nodded after hearing this. This kind of thing would just eat dust in the warehouse. It would be better to take it out and listen to it.

"How thick is the steel plate?"

Yang Youning asked from the side, and Yang Xiaotao explained, "The hard steel plate just now is about 100 mm. It is only hit from the vertical surface. According to calculations, it is equivalent to the 60 mm bevel armor protection on the front of the Kuiniu armored vehicle."

"However, Kuiniu's armor is stronger. During the last test run, rockets at this distance did not break through the armor."

"The range of the rocket launcher used in previous tests was two hundred meters. At a distance of fifty meters, the armor-breaking capability was about 120 mm to 160 mm."

"This infantry gun is currently at a distance of two hundred meters and is effective against 60mm armor. It's time to verify it."

As Yang Xiaotao explained, the people below had already moved the steel plate back.

Until about two hundred meters, the two steel plates were fixed again.

Yang Youning glanced at the steel plate, then at the infantry cannon on the side, and then stood together with Liu Huaimin.

"Old Liu, tell me, if this thing is built, our machinery factory will be stable!"

Yang Youning could see the value in this, and Liu Huaimin naturally understood it too.

If it is true as Yang Xiaotao said, it is estimated that if the news spreads, then people in the military will go crazy?
From now on, even if the machinery factory is not a military industry, it will be almost the same as a military industry.

In this way, it is equivalent to adding double insurance to the machinery factory.

"This boy!"

Liu Huaimin glanced at Yang Xiaotao not far away, and finally understood why he had to leave the machine tool alone and not study it, but had to wallow in the muddy water.

“I’ve made it all clear in my mind!”

He sighed with emotion, and then when he saw Yang Youning coming to speak, he lowered his voice and replied.

"As long as we both know about this matter, let Yang Xiaotao handle it himself."

Liu Huaimin thought for a moment and then spoke.

Yang Youning nodded after hearing this. Since Yang Xiaotao has been doing this for a while, he must have a plan.

And no matter what, it is a good thing for the machinery factory.

"it is good!"

Yang Youning nodded, and then An Xin became a spectator.

On the side, Liang Zuoxin began to take aim with his own hands. This kind of old cannon is not easy for ordinary people to master.

Everyone was waiting. Yang Xiaotao stood aside and watched Liang Zuoxin adjust his position. Only when Liang Zuoxin stood up and nodded to Yang Xiaotao did everyone get ready.

"Cannonball!"

Wang Hao handed the prepared armor-piercing shells to Liang Zuoxin, who stuffed the shells into the barrel, and then pulled the gun rope under the eyes of Yang Xiaotao and others.

嗵…

boom!
Two consecutive blasts sounded, and everyone felt that fireworks were rising in the distance, and then the placed steel plates had flown behind.

"Come again!"

After the first hit, Liang Zuoxin was in a good mood, at least his artillery skills were not compromised.

Yang Xiaotao nodded aside. If nothing else, it does take experience to hit a shot within two hundred meters.

Soon, another shell was loaded and the sound came again.

When the smoke cleared, Yang Xiaotao and others ran towards the shooting range.

Liang Zuoxin, however, stood behind the cannon and did not step forward.

"Ouch, such a big hole!"

Wang Guodong and several others lifted up the steel plate on the left, and a larger hole appeared on it than before.

"Quick, look at the other piece!"

Yang Youning hurriedly ran to the other side and saw Yang Xiaotao holding up the steel plate alone.

"Let me take a look!"

Yang Youning came forward and saw that there were several iron boxes scattered on the steel plate, but now a large piece was missing.

The original color of the steel plate has also turned dark, and if you look closely, there is a dent on it.

This mark is a little larger than the previous rocket launcher, but it is only a little bigger and has not penetrated.

Yang Xiaotao freed up his hands, then picked up a pen and paper to record the results. Without further ado, let’s continue walking back!

When everyone saw this, they immediately followed.

"Old Bao, recover!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded to the excited Bao Yijin, who immediately called for someone to fix the extra iron box to the steel plate.

Then he looked at Liang Zuoxin.

"Team Liang, continue to the next game."

"it is good."

Before Yang Youning and others could figure out what was going on, they saw two people running over carrying a Type 54 heavy machine gun and starting to assemble it a hundred meters away.

Soon, the heavy machine gun was installed, and the iron box was rearranged with a pound of bag in front, and the steel became pitted again.

Everyone dispersed, Liang Zuoxin started to operate it himself, and then saw bullets rushing towards the reactive armor like a rainstorm.

Tu Tu Tu

The bullet came out of the chamber and hit the front reactive armor straight away.

12.7 mm bullets flew randomly, and the clanging sound resounded in the sky.

Everyone watched with sweat in their hearts.

You know, that little box contains explosives.

If this shot penetrates or causes the ammunition to explode due to collision, it will be a failure.

Yang Xiaotao was also nervous and never put down the telescope in his hand.

The same thing happened to the kilogram bag next to me, and sweat came out on my face.

bang bang

The bullets were still attacking, and Liang Zuoxin manipulated the muzzle of the gun, constantly destroying the iron box on the steel plate.

boom…

Suddenly, there was an explosion, and everyone's expressions changed.

Liang Zuoxin stopped shooting and looked solemn.

"Failed!"

Bao Yijin murmured, his face instantly becoming depressed.

The expressions of Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin also changed, and they felt pity in their hearts.

Others around looked at the exploding box in the distance and did not dare to speak.

Although Yang Xiaotao sighed in his heart, he couldn't say frustrated words at this time, otherwise it would easily damage his self-confidence.

"How many bullets are there to explode one?"

"It seems that we did a good job!"

Liang Zuoxin laughed after hearing this, "No, I fired more than a thousand rounds."

"Let's go take a look."

Liang Zuoxin handed the machine gun to Wang Hao and then strode forward.

Everyone follows.

When they came closer, Yang Xiaotao and others stared at the damaged iron box.

The iron box in front of him exploded from one side, and the opened iron sheet looked like an exploding chrysanthemum.

"There's nothing wrong in there."

"Look, there's nothing wrong inside!"

Yang Youning suddenly shouted, as if he had discovered a new world.

Liu Huaimin and Wang Guodong also came up to look at it, and even stretched out their hands to touch it, "It's okay if it explodes."

"Yeah, at least it can block cannonballs. This thing is useful!"

Several people suddenly became happy, at least it was better than nothing.

"Yes, yes, let me tell you, this time it can be considered half the success."

"If you install this thing, it will probably enhance your protection a lot."

Chen Gong stood up to smooth things over, and everyone heard that this was really the case.

Yang Xiaotao didn't say much, and just asked Wang Hao and others to take the steel plate back and continue their research.

Then Yang Xiaotao and Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin returned to the office.

In the room, three people were sitting together!
Yang Xiaotao sat aside, thinking about how to improve reactive armor. This thing is at best a semi-finished product now. If it wants to be developed, at least it must solve the problem of bullets causing explosions.

"Xiao Tao, how do you plan to report this matter?"

After a moment of silence, Yang Youning spoke first, and then nodded to Liu Huaimin, "What I want to tell Old Liu is that you caused this matter, and it's up to you to deal with it."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin, both of whom nodded.

Then he thought for a moment and said, "I don't want to expose this thing yet. First of all, this thing still has flaws and needs to be improved!"

"Secondly, if you take it out now, any factory can master the principle. For our machinery factory, it will be a drop in the bucket!"

After Yang Xiaotao said these two points, Yang Youning laughed.

"We both think so too. Although you have been a bit lazy during this period, Lao Liu and I both know the reason!"

"Anyway, you just need to know what's going on."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Yang Youning in surprise. Could it be that this guy also knew what was going to happen next?
Then look at Liu Huaimin.

When Liu Huaimin saw Yang Xiaotao looking over, he just nodded lightly.

"You are the leader of the machinery factory. Sometimes, you represent the interests of the machinery factory."

"I believe you know how to do it."

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath, but did not explain too much.

"I see."

"I have already arranged some things, but the time has not come yet!"

After hearing this, Yang Youning looked at each other again, and then nodded.

After Yang Xiaotao came back from the secretary's office, Lou Xiao'e immediately reported the organized documents to Yang Xiaotao's desk.

After letting him pick up the notes on the side, he began to explain, "Mr. Yang, the most important thing here is the aluminum alloy. The aluminum alloy produced by the steel plant now cannot keep up with the consumption."

"Especially the consumption of air conditioners, which basically accounts for 80% of our share, so that the use of the engine is somewhat limited."

Yang Xiaotao picked up the information above and looked at it, then frowned, "I remember that our machinery factory's share is 20%, how come there is so little left?"

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e looked at Yang Xiaotao with speechless eyes.

"Half of our money was taken away by the Seventh Machinery Department!"

"It's up to you to decide this matter!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao showed a little embarrassment, forgetting what he had discussed with the people from the Seventh Machinery Department when he went to the northwest.

However, thinking about this, Yang Xiaotao suddenly remembered that he still had a bunch of analyzed steel material ratios in his hand.

Now there are signs of reactive armor, and it only needs to be made to arouse the interest of the military.

Then according to the plan, the next step is to improve the machine tools.

After all, this matter has been delayed for long enough!
Hey guys, there is only one chapter left tonight and I will make up for it tomorrow.
In addition, thank you for everyone's concern. My mother's surgery was successful today and she will just need to rest.

Thank you all!
