Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Daxia's recruitment of scientists went very smoothly.

The entire migration plan, from beginning to end, took about three months. In these three months, Daxia gained a total of more than 500 scientists.

In order to maximize the effectiveness of these scientists, the Imperial Household Ministry allocated 100 million to build a new university and comprehensive scientific research institution in the capital.

Here, except for a few scientific disciplines, all other disciplines are here.

The only subjects not being researched here are nuclear physics. After all, this thing is a bit dangerous and can only be arranged in the inaccessible northwest region.

After arranging these new scientists, the empire began to recruit students and let them study with these scientists.

Later, this new institution became the highest state university in the empire. Every student who enters here is an outstanding student. Naturally, this place has become a holy place in the minds of students.

Of course, this is all for later.

However, it also indirectly shows how influential this institution, which was originally only used to house these scientists, was at that time.

As later commentaries said, it was precisely because of the migration plan that the Daxia Empire completed its pursuit of and overtaken the Western world in all aspects.

Let Daxia burst out with vitality in all walks of life.

By the time the Western world reacted and its own scientists were poached by Daxia, there was no way to stop it.

It is worth mentioning that the only scientific research team that is not arranged in the capital has the highest benefits among all the teams that come to Daxia.

This can be seen from the unlimited scientific research funds allocated by Lin Yi to the nuclear physics team.

Because Lin Yi knows very well what the final product of this team will be, which is the key to Daxia becoming the world's top power.

In addition to these scientists, Lin Yi has not forgotten the empire's original research institute.

Since there is no war in the empire now and it is all in the stage of striving for development, Lin Yi requires that the three major weapons research institutes in the empire now focus on technical reserves.

For each design, only one sample needs to be made for testing.

Of course, some are similar to new warships, but aircraft are not included.

At the same time, Lin Yi also proposed some equipment that needed to be developed to the three major weapons research institutes.

In addition to the rocket launchers Lin Yi mentioned before, the Army Weapons Research Institute also needs to develop self-propelled artillery and anti-armor weapons.

Lin Yi, who is well aware of the direction of history, knows very well that if another war breaks out, it is very likely that he will encounter the enemy's armored forces.

Without effective anti-armor weapons, it will cause heavy casualties to our own troops.

Yang Bing agreed with Lin Yi's point.

So, after three months, a lot of armored weapons were sorted out by Yang Bing and the others.

It's funny, because the empire's current tanks are among the best in the world, and Yang Bing and the others can't get tanks or armored vehicles from other countries.

Therefore, they consciously regarded the combat vehicle research and development department under the Army Weapons Research Institute as an imaginary enemy.

With reference to the tanks developed by the tank research and development department, the development of restrained weapons was carried out.

A 12.7mm heavy-duty anti-armor sniper rifle, equipped with a tungsten core bullet, can penetrate Type A-500 and Type-A- tanks within a range of meters.

It can penetrate Type A-300 tanks within a range of 200 meters and Type-A IV tanks within a range of meters.

Then, the head of the anti-armor weapons research team mocked the people in the tank research and development department, saying nothing more.

He directly made the people in the tank R&D department so angry that they started to design the A-5 tank decisively.

As for the tank team's preparation to develop the A-5 tank, the anti-armor weapons research team said that if they are not convinced, then they will defeat the opponent.

So, in addition to anti-armor sniper rifles, they quickly took out anti-tank guns and rocket launchers.

Let’s talk about anti-tank guns first. Currently, the anti-armor team has only designed 37mm anti-tank guns and 57mm anti-tank guns.

No matter how large the caliber is, it is not impossible to design, but it is unnecessary.

Because the tanks at this stage all have relatively thin armor, and they have not yet reached the one or two hundred millimeters of frontal armor that existed in the middle and late stages of World War II.

Therefore, anti-tank guns up to 57 mm are enough.

But this doesn't mean that they don't have drawings in hand.

At this time, the Anti-Armor Weapons Research Department still had at least two types of anti-tank guns, 75 mm and 90 mm.

But there is no need to manufacture it.

It is worth mentioning that the 37 and 57 mm anti-tank guns are very light and can be pulled by only two soldiers. This made those soldiers find that this kind of artillery is very suitable as a supplementary firepower for the company.

Although some companies have mortars, the muzzle velocity of the mortars is slow and it is difficult to penetrate some bunkers similar to fortresses.

Therefore, the infantry actually still needs a support artillery that can shoot directly, has a fast muzzle velocity, and is lightweight.

Just right, 37mm and 57mm anti-tank guns are just right. You just need to equip these guns with some high-explosive shells.

This really kills two birds with one stone.

The appearance of the rocket launcher can only be said to be an accident.

When Yang Bing led people to study rocket launchers, he accidentally came up with this thing.

Although the first-generation rocket launcher only had an effective killing range of 50 meters, its biggest feature was its portability.

Including the warhead, the total weight of a rocket launcher is only about ten kilograms.

And the caliber of this thing is a bit scary. The smallest rocket launcher has a caliber of 90 mm.

In addition, this thing is light in weight and easy to control, so the rocket launcher was deeply loved by soldiers as soon as it came out.

After Lin Yi learned about this, he ordered some to be produced and handed over to the army so that they could figure out how to use these weapons.

In addition to developing what Lin Yi explained, the Army Weapons Research Institute also designed a batch of new weapons based on feedback from soldiers on the battlefield.

For example, soldiers complained that when seizing trenches, the rifles in their hands were too long and their ability to continuously output firepower was not strong.

So Yang Bing and others designed a variety of submachine guns, shotguns and other weapons to make it easier for soldiers to fight in the trenches.

In fact, the empire has long been equipped with shotguns and submachine guns, but the first-generation submachine guns were too heavy and prone to mechanical failures.

Therefore, the second-generation submachine gun designed by Yang Bing and others also used a large number of stamping parts to manufacture the submachine gun.

This reduces the number of parts and leaves the possibility of mechanical failure. After all, there are few parts and you haven’t learned the lesson yet so it can break.

This new submachine gun is light in weight and easy to control. The magazine uses 9mm pistol bullets. One magazine has 32 bullets, which greatly increases the continuity of firepower.

As for the shotgun, there is actually nothing to change. The main thing is to reduce the weight and increase the magazine capacity.

However, this new gun is not the focus of Yang Bing's research.

I don’t know if it was Yang Bing and the others who suddenly had an idea, or something else. Yang Bing and the others suddenly felt that after entering the trenches, the infantry would be at a disadvantage when encountering the bunker, so he led his people to develop a new weapon, the flamethrower. device.
