Weapons development is a complex project, even for the production of a small pistol. www.biquge.info What's more, the next task of the arsenal is to develop and mass-produce the most powerful and ferocious weapons that the 284th Division can master.

Time is very precious, Yang Mingzhi did not care about the fatigue of the journey, after making sure that the dangerous high-energy fuels such as ethylene oxide cylinders were safely unloaded and transported to a special warehouse, he directly dragged Rigushkov to his office.

"Sir, you're so anxious! Do you want our production line to be replaced immediately and to make new products? ”

"I can't ask for it if I could!" Yang Mingzhi shrugged his shoulders and replied to Riguskov's doubts. "Of course, if we just pay lip service, rocket artillery can be built, and that's great."

As for what the deputy division commander was going to do, Rygushkov was very clear. A few months ago, I designed and produced it myself, and it was a weapon that required a lot of materials, but its power had already been tested in real combat.

Sitting at his desk, Rygushkov fell into a small meeting: "At that time, I was secretly working on large-caliber rocket launchers, and only two of them were built, which were finally used in the first attack on Homnitch. It was a real air raid, and the actual combat proved that the weapons I made were excellent. ”

"Of course!" Yang Mingzhi smiled and said, "To be honest, those two rocket launchers were filled with a large amount of picric acid explosives at that time. It was the most scarce day for us, and your extravagance was really out of place. But now, we need to do this! ”

Today's 284th Division is not at all what it looked like half a year ago. In the past six months, although the intensity of the war has become more and more intense, the arsenal and chemical laboratory have been safe and sound. The long-term accumulation of capital has not only trained a large number of military industrial workers and chemical experts, but also refined the production and processing technology of weapons. The result of this is, of course, the mass production of weapons and the improvement of the overall quality.

Based on this situation, Yang Mingzhi believes that he is indeed capable of mass-producing rocket artillery.

"Rygushkov, our time is precious. Those guys from my design bureau are coming soon, and you should hurry up and recruit the production backbone of the arsenal! Without further ado, I hope to hold a mobilization meeting right away! ”

This Chinese has always been in a hurry, and Rygushkov did not dare to slack off in the slightest, so he rushed out of the door and personally went to various workshops to fish for people.

……

The people who should come are here, Yang Mingzhi looked at it, these are the technical talents he can control.

When everyone learned that the commander was going to start developing a new weapon, they were very excited.

If this enthusiasm can be fully devoted to weapon manufacturing, Yang Mingzhi estimates that his rocket artillery plan can really be implemented as soon as possible. So, the venue of the meeting was also moved to the large office of the Weapons Design Bureau, not far from the arsenal.

Regarding what his weapons design bureau is doing these days, Yang Mingzhi does not care too much. As the director of the bureau, he takes charge of the overall situation, and he has to rely on Deputy Director Popov to be responsible for specific matters.

It can be seen that this man also has some things to report, Yang Mingzhi estimates that his achievements during this period of time are the improvement and perfection of various existing weapons and equipment, if these people come up with novel weapons, they should have known about it a long time ago.

Knocking on the table, Yang Mingzhi roared, quieting the eager chattering crowd.

"Okay comrades, everyone hurry up and find a stool to sit down. Although the conditions are a little rudimentary, we will have a kick-off meeting on the design and production of rocket artillery......"

Rocket artillery, which is already the strategic weapon of the current Soviet Union.

Many students in the design bureau knew about this type of weapon in the Soviet army early on.

Compared with ordinary large-mouth artillery and shells, the cost of rocket artillery is inevitably much higher because of its design principle. But its biggest advantage is that it can inflict the most damage on an area in a short period of time.

Therefore, Yang Mingzhi began to explain his plan in detail from the Katyusha rocket launcher that the Soviet army had begun to widely use.

The crowd listened attentively and took a notebook to record the key words.

Everyone heard the strange statement of the deputy division commander: "In the past, the warheads of rocket artillery were loaded with TNT, and we could not squander the few airdropped TNT because of the conditions." But you don't have to worry about the future power of this weapon, because we don't use explosives at all, but high-energy fuel......"

Regarding the dangerous experiment in Catfish Village, everyone here has seen the report document.

"Is it really okay to have high-energy fuel as a filler for warheads? Maybe we can find a way to make it a propellant! Popov's question is also everyone's question, and for a while, the venue, which was originally only Yang Mingzhi alone, became whining.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Yang Mingzhi waved his hands. Because the next words were very important, he paused extraly: "Comrades, we can't look at this weapon with conventional thinking, because its killing mode doesn't take into account shrapnel at all, and we don't even have to think too much about the shock wave!" It's a new field of weapon, and the mode of killing enemies is super high temperatures. Therefore, the rocket artillery we want to develop can be said to be a huge fuel tank that can fly at all! ”

Throughout the history of rocket artillery, its original method of killing was to strapping combustibles and setting the target on fire. Based on this thought, Popov couldn't help but joke: "It seems that the chief is planning to return to the basics and restore the junior high school of rocket artillery?" ”

"That's a good thing you say!" Yang Mingzhi didn't expect him to say this, so he couldn't help but pat his thigh and praise: "Popov, you didn't disappoint me, I know you still have documents for me to read, I will take a good look at this." But now we have to solve the problem of our special rocket artillery in the shortest possible time. ”

Yang Mingzhi issued such a dead order in front of everyone: "The propellant of the rocket artillery must be black powder mixed with ammonium nitrate, and its powerful propulsion capacity has been fully implemented, and the rest is mass production." There are two types of warheads, one filled with hydrazine nitrate, and the other is directly encapsulated with ethylene oxide cylinders.

Therefore, there will be two types of rocket artillery for our rockets, the warhead is hydrazine nitrate for the ordinary model, and the warhead is ethylene oxide for the special model.

The former has moderate power and can be mass-produced, while the latter has limited power and terrifying equipment.

The flight distance of the two types of rocket artillery must not be less than eight kilometers, and the landing point must be within a radius of 500 meters. ”

With such an order, Yang Mingzhi didn't expect many people at the meeting to understand, and looking at everyone's incomprehensible eyes, he knew that not many people understood this order at all.

"Comrades? Are you all clear? These are just a few of the metrics we have to accomplish, and if any of them fails, it means failure! ”

Having said that, Yang Mingzhi only heard a low response.

"Comrades! Did you hear me clearly? Do you have the confidence to finish?! ”

Even if you say it again, everyone's confidence is even less sufficient.

"Alas! It seems that we are going to develop a weapon that has not yet appeared in history, and we don't have much confidence. Yang Mingzhi shook his head helplessly.

Rygushkov hurriedly said: "Sir! It's not that we don't have confidence, it's that the various parameters you request, as well as the design principles, are very difficult. As you have already said, after the successful development of the development, it will be an unprecedented achievement. Since we have absolutely no information to look at, and we are making completely new weapons, this road to research and development must be full of dangers! ”

"So you can't fight alone! Comrade Rygushkov! Yang Mingzhi raised his right fist and faced everyone: "I have already explained the principle of this special rocket launcher, as well as the design indicators that must be achieved." Then it will be the time for all of us to fight side by side, and I will explain to the divisional headquarters, and the Stalin commissioner Salinchin will explain that I will stay in the design department for the next few days and concentrate on building this rocket launcher! Take a big leap forward in weapon development! ”

In everyone's opinion, today's deputy division commander behaves like a political commissar, he is so confident, as if this new rocket artillery that has created history will only take a very short time to change from a drawing to a finished product delivered to the troops.

Rygushkov was also impressed by his enthusiasm and could not help asking: "Sir! I would venture to ask, how long do you think it will take to build this weapon? ”

"It's probably only a few days! After all, the large-caliber rocket launchers you created earlier, all sorts of technical parameters and drawings are ready-made! This is one of the reasons why Yang Mingzhi is confident, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Rygushkov, if you hadn't created those two rocket launchers without your own initiative, we would have spent a lot of time researching and designing them from scratch. Now we don't have to worry about that, basically we just need to drastically modify your previous R&D results! ”
