Chapter 513: Success and Failure
Looking at the watch, it was already half past one in the afternoon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Yevlov looked at Yang Mingzhi and Yelentina again, and got the approval of the two, and the red flag slowly fell.
The fighter involved in the experiment pulled the rope violently, the trigger was pulled, and the firing pin struck the fire cap, igniting the propellant with tiny sparks.
Yang Mingzhi, like the others, only showed his eyes out of cover.
I saw that this launch was very different from the previous ones, and the characteristic was that there was less smoke. Surprisingly, it was previously estimated that the propellant with the addition of a highly effective agent would give the grenade more thrust.
"If there is a high-speed camera at this time, it can record the flight trajectory of the RPG." This thought only existed in a trance, and almost at the moment of launch, the target two hundred meters away erupted violently!
Compared to the choking yellow smoke of the explosion of ammunition filled with picric acid, the explosion kicked up a large amount of dirt.
The ordinary soldiers watching from a distance were greatly disappointed, and said what about the huge fireball that burned well? What is the difference between an explosion effect and a regular RPG? Except that it looks like the ammo is faster.
"Ulla! The fertilizer you brought with you was literally crafted into explosives! Yevlov jumped out of cover in excitement, and in any case, his previous worries looked like he could put aside. He shook Yang Mingzhi's body excitedly, "Now you can rest assured!" I think such a weapon can equip the troops! ”
It can be finalized after just one experiment, followed by mass production. Yang Mingzhi, who is the leader of the arsenal as his own job in that plane, does not dare to do this, there are bugs in any weapon, and only many experiments can find the problem.
Yang Mingzhi looked at another foxhole, where Ryguskov and Popov were lying on their stomachs, as well as several arsenal workers. This weapon came from their hands, and the first experiment was a success, and the excitement was written on the faces of these people.
The warrior in charge of pulling the rope was closest to the firing point, and he could feel the tail flames even more violently with experience, and if there was a living creature behind it when it was fired, the heat and heat would surely kill him instantly.
The telescope pointed to the position of the target, and Yang Mingzhi carefully observed, and the "wooden tank model" he made had become fragments. Unlike the excited faces of the others, he said calmly: "Order the soldiers, reload the second one, and we must consume all the ammunition." ”
"Do it again? I think it's a bit of a waste of ammunition. One experiment is enough! Yevlov suggested.
"Nope! Comrade division commander! A successful experiment is completely fine without weapons. Just now you have felt it, the state of the new elixir, the rocket thrust is too strong. I was worried that the tube made of iron sheets would not be able to withstand the higher pressures. ”
When it comes to expertise, Yevlov can only put on a face that he doesn't understand.
Yerentina arched at him, "Commander, you don't need to say much, everything is up to Berekov!" ”
Any more nonsense is a waste of time, and it will be necessary to run out of ammunition to end it. Yang Mingzhi walked out of the foxhole and walked towards the launcher.
Seeing that the commanders had all come out, Rygushkov and the others immediately left the foxhole, still holding notebooks in their hands, on which some words had already been written.
Right next to the launcher, the record was handed over to Yang Mingzhi.
This era has seen the advent of high-speed photography, where all parameters of weapons are measured at professional ranges. Due to the terrible environment of the swamp, there is no high-tech measuring equipment, and there are also local methods for measuring the rate of fire of ammunition, but the accuracy of RPGs over 200 meters is already very poor, and such a distance is a blink of an eye even with a timer.
However, Rigushkov, who was nimble, still held a mechanical stopwatch in his hand, and he said excitedly: "Sir! I saw smoke in the distance, and only 1.2 seconds elapsed until the target exploded. ”
"Such a short period of time?!" Yang Mingzhi was shocked, after a simple calculation, its average flight speed reached 160m/s, if it was pure compacted black powder as propellant, it would not be possible to obtain such a high speed!
However, there are some errors in manual measurements, and if you look at Rygushkov, he has gray temples and a beard, and his reaction speed is no longer as fast as that of a twenty-year-old young man. On second thought, even with a little bit of error, the final speed is amazing. You must know that when you really start an encounter in the forest, the battle often breaks out within fifty meters, and in the blink of an eye, the RPG firepower is projected, and the advantage of fast speed determines the density of firepower.
Yang Mingzhi looked at the data at the time of the launch, and then investigated the explosion site on the spot. The power of industrial explosives Yang Mingzhi is very clear, the general mining of such ammonium nitrate mixed wood chips is the cheapest, and the stability is also very good, and the defect is naturally not as powerful as TNT.
The first experiment has already yielded a lot of data, and the second one is inserted into the launcher step by step.
With the successful experience, Rigushkov became more confident. "Sir! The safety of the weapons we make can be guaranteed, and this time I personally pulled the trigger! ”
Yang Mingzhi also checked the RPG that was about to be launched, and on the surface, it was no different from other products, and the loading of the new potion did not destroy its structural mechanics, so it was no problem to do so.
But how can the sense of disobedience linger in my heart? As if it really agreed that this old guy would go into battle in person, the accident would really happen on time. Rigushkov was a rare talent in the arsenal, and if he had gone to meet Marx, he would have to personally take charge of the production of weapons, which was related to the survival of the entire nascent Novgomel.
Yang Mingzhi thought about it carefully, labor and management still have a lot of business to do, and they have to roll leaflets with their wives, and they don't want to be busy directing operations while staring at all kinds of in the arsenal!
"You'd better honestly go back to the foxhole! I'm no exception, I don't doubt your achievements, but hopefully I'm worried, and there really can't be an accident at this juncture! "Under Yang Mingzhi's order, everyone on both sides of the launcher hid.
Yang Mingzhi trotted all the way back to the bunker and said to Yevlov: "I am very satisfied with the first shot, and now it is the second shot. You hurry up and order the launch, and today the experiment is successfully completed. ”
"Okay!" Shrugging his shoulders, Yevlov's little red flag fell again, the soldier pulled the hemp rope, and the accident happened.
Billowing white smoke is coming out of the tail sprinkler of the launcher, and the RPG is still in the pipe!
"Oops! Insufficient burning! Yang Mingzhi's heart tightened, but the sense of disobedience that had been held back for a long time was swept away, as if there was some kind of prophecy in the dark, and the second round of experiments was doomed to failure.
It is not uncommon for ordinary RPGs to have duds, often due to unqualified charging of the propellant. Presumably, Rigushkov and Popov in the distance will be stunned when they see this scene, but the next scene is even more exciting!
After a large amount of white smoke, the RPG actually started, and the strong tail air flow blew away the smoke, and the warhead tilted straight into the ground, followed by a violent explosion.
The explosion site was very close to the launcher, and the shock wave directly overturned the tripod. The soldier who was hiding in the foxhole and was responsible for pulling the hemp rope was not injured, but his hat was blown away by the air current.
“WTF! It almost caused an experimental accident! Yang Mingzhi stood up violently and looked at the smoke and dust that gradually dispersed under the breeze.
Rygushkov and Yerentina were not at all mentally prepared, and it was Lyudbalev who was even more surprised.
The mayor walked up to Yang Mingzhi in a daze and asked, "The new round of experiments seems to have failed!" It's as if you already have a premonition that this time you will fail! ”
"It's a coincidence!" Yang Mingzhi shook his head helplessly. "Who wants an experiment to fail? Besides, failure is the mother of success, and I think I can start to study this failure. ”
Dragging his stiff body, Rigushkov came out of the bunker. His expression was in a trance, and it was the refusal of the deputy division commander just now that saved his life. The blast wave blew the tripod more than a dozen meters away, and the exposed shooter was bound to be wiped out. The tragedy was prevented by the prudent efforts of the chief, and no one was injured in the second failed experiment.
But in the end, the experiment failed, and all the promises made were in the past! Shame floated on his face.
