Siheyuan: Happy life of the son-in-law of a founding general

In the following days, an unprecedented wave of scientific and technological research and development was set off in Xiongxiong. Labs were brightly lit everywhere, and engineers worked day and night, trying to narrow the technological gap with Daxia in plateau fighters in the shortest possible time.

At the same time, the Xiongxiong intelligence department was also actively operating, trying to understand through various channels the secrets of Daxia's aviation technology and how they achieved this leap in a short period of time.

However, this is very difficult. Daxia is now very vigilant and careful towards people from Xiongxiong's side.

The storm caused by Daxia's new fighter jet not only changed the power comparison between the two countries, but also made Xiongxiong learn from his mistakes and strive to be the best. Then the Eagle Sauce also saw that the situation was not right and joined in the large-scale technological innovation.

No one expected that a new round of military technology competition would be launched around the world. All countries, especially these three countries, strengthened their national defense construction, and an invisible technology war quietly unfolded.

For Xiongxiong or Yingjiang, this is both a challenge and an opportunity to promote their own change and progress. They must find their position in this competition and prove their strength.

For Daxia, this is also a rare opportunity. Since we have taken the lead in the plateau fighter, the pressure is all on the opponent.

Daxia’s development has always been based on itself.

After developing the plateau fighter, it began to be officially mass-produced and put into service. Daxia hopes to be equipped with 100 plateau fighters in two years. This will form a huge deterrent to Xiongxiong.

At the same time, at the request of Wang Zhian, the scientific research department was required to develop mountain artillery suitable for plateau operations.

This type of mountain gun is relatively light, suitable for towing on plateaus and high mountains, and has strong mobility. In addition, it is required to have a long range. After Wang Zhian gave the order, a special scientific research team immediately came to connect and tackle the problem.

Wang Zhian sat in the conference room, looking at the artillery expert Li Dahui, and said, "Comrade Li Dahui, the key to the development of plateau mountain artillery is that our mountain artillery must not only be able to go high, but also be able to shoot far and accurately."

"Director Wang, based on your previous proposal, we have preliminarily completed the design plan. We will use thin tubes for this mountain gun to greatly reduce its weight and ensure that it can be quickly deployed in the complex terrain of the plateau."

Li Dahui held a design draft in his hand, and each page was densely recorded with innovative points and technical parameters.

"Very good, Comrade Li Dahui, but remember, while reducing the weight, we cannot sacrifice the power and stability of the artillery, and we must never sacrifice its safety. Can this be done?" Wang Zhian asked again.

"That's not possible." Li Dahui seemed a little embarrassed. He didn't expect Wang Zhian's request to be so outrageous and so high.

Mountain guns need to ensure convenience and be light, but performance will definitely be affected. This is a dilemma.

At present, no one has thought of starting from the material aspect. In fact, it is too difficult to say, and no one has this awareness.

"How many times can the new mountain artillery barrel withstand continuous firing of ammunition?" Wang Zhian asked again.

This is obviously the most core issue.

"About a hundred shells."

Wang Zhian pondered for a moment and said, "Okay."

In the following months, the scientific research team led by Li Dahui began to work day and night, with the lights in the laboratory brightly lit. Engineers discussed every detail of the new mountain cannon model, from the material selection of the barrel to the fine-tuning of the firing system, striving for perfection.

At the same time, in the factory, workers are working overtime to turn the designer's ideas into reality.

Among them, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is also responsible for the polishing of some equipment. Mainly, the No. 7 workshop of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has a rare lathe. It is relatively advanced.

Therefore, during this period of time, Workshop No. 7 of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was moved outside, and many skilled workers followed.

It has become a subsidiary factory of the new mountain artillery project team.

Two months later, the newly developed plateau mountain artillery had its first field test.

Wang Zhian personally came to the scene to supervise the battle. As the experimenter gave the order, a dazzling flame suddenly spurted out from the muzzle, and then the target in the distance was accurately hit, raising a cloud of dust.

"Report, the ten-kilometer target was hit with a deviation of less than five meters!" The observer reported excitedly, and cheers rang out at the scene.

Wang Zhian nodded with satisfaction, turned around and said to Li Dahui beside him: "This is the effect we want. The next step is to ensure that this performance can be stably exerted in the plateau environment and conduct comprehensive tests under extreme conditions."

The so-called testing under extreme conditions is to test how many shells these mountain cannons can ultimately fire.

Therefore, the test team fired shells continuously, simulating actual combat situations. In the end, three mountain guns were tested, and the barrels of all the mountain guns burst after firing more than 90 shells in a row.

But actually, that’s pretty much it.

In a word, in a war, the artillery troops may only fire so many bombs. After all, Daxia's logistical support is far inferior to that of the Eagle Sauce.

The Eagles fired 1.9 million shells in the Shangling Campaign. But think about it carefully. Even if the Eagles only had 300 artillery pieces, each of them only fired 6,000 shells. But in fact, this was fought for several months in a row, so the intensity was not great.

Wang Zhian's requirement was to fire continuously in a very short time. This was a huge difference.

In addition, this is also related to the different combat style of Daxia troops. Daxia's current artillery tactics are still superficial, and even not taken seriously. In fact, Daxia did not have the ability to produce large artillery before.

That's why they had to adapt to local conditions. After all, there were almost no artillery units.

Afterwards, these mountain guns were transported to Duoyang Military Region and then to the border areas to start military exercises.

Then the fierce sentinels on the other side of the border discovered that Daxia had brought a lot of mountain artillery to the plateau area and started test firing.

The sentries on Xiongxiong's side became even more frightened when they saw how powerful Daxia's mountain artillery was.

Wang Zhian and Li Dahui stood at the foot of the plateau, along with a dozen other scientific researchers and more than twenty artillery personnel.

Everyone looked at the rolling mountains in the distance. Behind them were rows of mountain artillery that had just passed the extreme environment test.

Afterwards, following the order from the test commander, the special mountain cannon was pulled by a donkey and quickly went to the plateau.

There are no simple roads here, so basically, people can only rely on donkeys and horses for transportation.

Because the mountain cannon is relatively light, only about 160 pounds, the donkey can pull it up quickly.

An hour later, the mountain cannon arrived at the designated location.

Then fifty mountain guns began to bombard continuously. The long range of their artillery made the people of Duoyang Military Region very satisfied.

Xiongxiong was naturally very shocked.
