Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 226

“Your kid is here? Come on, take a few shots, it’s really exciting!” Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai who was running over with Mo Qi, and said with a look of excitement.

Then looking at Xie Kai’s hand, Mo Qi’s face flushed, and he threw away Xie Kai’s hand.

“Come on, this rope is tied to the firing mechanism, pull it hard, and the cannonball will be shot out…” Xie Kai walked to the front without any embarrassment, and explained how to fire the cannonball to Mo Qi.

Mo Qi only saw the firing of a cannon in a movie, thinking it was easy to hear, but he pulled it violently, but didn’t pull the iron out.

Xie Kai introduced the various positions of the artillery while introducing the principles. Under his demonstration, he finally shot out a cannonball.

The huge recoil made the ground tremble.

“Brother, you are here! Let me fire the cannon!” Sun Juan saw it when she ran to Zheng Yucheng while pulling Mo Qi from Xie Kai. The other cannons were surrounded by people. If you want to touch the roots It’s not easy.

“Come on, this is physical work!” Xie Kai glanced at Zheng Yucheng, and Zheng Yucheng said.

“I loaded the cannonball myself!” Sun Juan refused the help of the two garrison soldiers. She actually picked up a 28 kg cannonball and stuffed it into the barrel, and shouted that Mo Qi, who was dumbfounded, closed the cannon bolt. The two girls studied for a long time, and finally shot out a shell again.

Except for Zheng Yucheng and others at the beginning, the guns operated by the half-old children and young workers at the base were not so neat.

Sometimes there are several sounds in succession, sometimes there is no movement for a long time.

“Be careful to keep a safe distance in the line behind!”

Safety is the most important thing. The base has been engaged for many years and has not had an accident. It has long been experienced. In addition, the crowd was chaotic at the beginning. After the shots were fired, many people would only look at it from a distance, and there was no confusion.

“You won’t go up and fire two shots? Although it is not on the battlefield and there are no enemies to fight, firing the cannon is also a comforting thing.” Zheng Yucheng asked him when he approached Xie Kai.

Wang Guilin didn’t know when he also came.

“Old Zheng, how about a 122mm self-propelled howitzer?” Xie Kai didn’t go forward and fired the cannon. On the one hand, he knew that Sun Juan and the cheerful and tireless Mo Qi kept loading and firing the cannonballs.

With just three shots, the two women have no strength.

The artillery at the back told them to retreat and replaced them with those in the back line. The two women did not leave and watched from behind the security line nearby.

Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng.

“The 122mm self-propelled howitzer, don’t we have it in China?” Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai suspiciously.

“You said it was the Type 70 122mm self-propelled howitzer that was equipped with the troops a long time ago, or the 152mm self-propelled howitzer that was finalized in 1983?” Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng.

“All right. We have to do things that are not available in China now!”

“What we are going to do is advanced, the 70-type structure is simple, that is, a 122mm howitzer is added to a WZ-531 site, and the fire control system is not… As for the 83-type 152mm self-propelled howitzer, the basic technology? No way…” Xie Kai said.

Isn’t the base worried about how to spend money?

The 122mm gun in front of him gave Xie Kai a lot of inspiration.

Self-propelled howitzer, this is the inevitable development of the future.

In particular, the 152mm howitzer originally appeared to support the battle of tanks in groups.

The country has always been thinking of artillery, and the development of heavy artillery has never slowed down.

“Even if we do this project, it won’t be of much benefit.” Wang Guilin frowned and said, “It won’t consume too much money.”

“Ordinary self-propelled howitzers really don’t have much market. If we all adopt the most advanced production technology, longer barrel, longer range, and even equipped with image stabilization fire control system?” Xie Kai asked with a smile. Tao.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Whether it is a 70-type 122 mm self-propelled howitzer or a 83-type 152 mm self-propelled howitzer, there is no fire control system.

So in the end, the Type 83 was replaced by the Type 88 self-propelled howitzer introduced from the British disturbance fire control system without much production equipment.

“We have the fire control system technology, the self-tightening process of the barrel, and the production technology of new gun steel… and we can continue to make a fuss about the 59 tank chassis. As a result, our cost of these technologies will be more widely used. , The cost is lower!” Xie Kai proposed to engage in self-propelled artillery, not a whim.

This project can completely transfer a lot of research and development costs to the 359 tank project.

“It’s not suitable to talk about this here, let’s go to the office to talk.” Zheng Yucheng came interested.

Others are also interested in this.

The status of the artillery in the hearts of the Chinese military far exceeds everything.

“You and Sun Juan are playing here, and then you go back by yourself. I have something to do.” Xie Kai told Mo Qi, Mo Qi is now thinking about the cannon in front of him, and he doesn’t have time to pay attention to Xie Kai.

Xie Kai followed Zheng Yucheng and his group towards the base headquarters amid the constant rumbling of cannons.

Most of the people in the base were outside here, and when they saw Zheng Yucheng and others, they greeted one after another.

Seeing Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng and others together, it immediately aroused many people’s interest.

One after another, they asked the people around whose child it was, and then some educated youths said that Xie Kai and Wang Hao were still doing bad things in the base.

“I said last night to engage in aircraft carriers and destroyers. I don’t think our base is suitable for me to intervene at the moment. We can do a little bit on the gunship project, and at the same time start research on self-propelled howitzers to cooperate with our 359 tanks.” Xie Kai When I entered the conference room, the first sentence was this, “We can provide them to customers if they can be used in conjunction with them.”

Both Iraq and Iran are potential customers.

Even Pakistan can become their customer.

“Some countries cannot afford advanced tanks, but they absolutely need advanced self-propelled howitzers!”

Before the First World War, the major powers began to desperately develop artillery, tanks, self-propelled artillery, etc., which can all be regarded as upgraded versions of artillery.

The truth is within the range of the cannon.

“This project, I think it’s more reliable. Many of our technologies are ready-made, just integrate it, and even a finished product can be made soon.” Qi Yuanzhi nodded and said, “This project requires a lot of funds, we can Use projects to hide funds.”

They are working on 125mm tank guns, using the most advanced technology, and do not need to reinvest in research.

Even the fire control system proposed by Xie Kai is a ready-made technology in 201.

“I also think it’s good. I can find more outlets for the image stabilizing fire control system of the 201 Institute.” Bai Yanjun also supports this project.

“The project is good, we don’t have a dedicated team to study this.” Wang Guilin also thinks the project is feasible and will see the finished product soon.

Most of the R&D teams at 404 base were evacuated, and they did not have an artillery research team.

Even the 125-caliber tank gun of the 359 tank project was commissioned by the 541 base to develop using the technology they provided.

“Cooperate with the Fifth Machine Department and the Armored Force Engineering Department. There are many domestic units capable of this project.” Xie Kai said.

They do everything themselves, which is definitely not a good thing.

I can’t finish it when I’m exhausted.

“Our base pays for the money, and other units provide technology, but what about the final result?” Zheng Yucheng dislikes this kind of cooperation the most.

They are all state units. They pay money and other units do it. It is difficult to distinguish the ownership of the final results. Many units can directly use their results.

“Don’t you like to use money to hit people? To spend money, buy technology from the unit that develops artillery; buy technology from the unit that develops the site…” Xie Kai said. “It’s good for us to establish a team responsible for assembly design, and each unit only has a certain part of the technology at most!”

“Xiao Xie’s suggestion is good. As long as the assembly technology is in our hands, no one else will say anything. We will have the technology in our hands and we will have the final say on whoever we can help with the production! Whether it is an order from the domestic air force , Or foreign orders, have to pass through our hands!” Qi Yuanzhi nodded.

“I think we have to consider installing a self-propelled artillery with a stable image fire control system. Will the price be too high.” Bai Yanjun reminded everyone to consider this issue.

The higher the level of technology, the more expensive the representative price.

“First get the assembly technology out. As for the others, I’ll talk about it later. Too expensive? No problem, just provide a reduced version according to the price that the other party is willing to provide.” Xie Kai said with a smile, “We must speed up. Maybe I can make a fortune before the Iran-Iraq War is over.” Xie Kai said with a smile.

If it hadn’t been for the base to fire off the old and welcome the new again today, he would really not have thought of this problem.

The development and production of artillery is far from the 404.

In the future, even if the accuracy and performance of missiles become higher and higher, artillery will exist for a long time and become a representative of cheap and heavy firepower.

What’s the future? Xie Kai doesn’t think about it. The key is that this thing can be made quickly, and then the Iraqis and Iranians can exchange US dollars!

At the same time, it can also solve the problem that the funds in the hands of the base are not consumed by projects.

For the 404 base, this is a new project, but many of the technologies themselves are what they are developing or even owning.

As a result, it will appear faster than the finished product of the 359 tank, and thus will be introduced to the international market.

“Let’s study the specific units to cooperate with. In fact, we are also improving the original self-confident artillery design, adding the fire control system, etc. The choice of whom to cooperate with is very important.” Qi Yuanzhi said that they approved the project.

Xie Kai didn’t want to study these with them.

It’s a waste of time.

“Let’s study it. I read the information about the dismantling technology. There is nothing else happening today.” Xie Kai is very curious about how many projects have been dismantled in China.
