Chapter 346 Howl under our firepower!

The funniest thing is, this thing was first developed as a medicine, then it was discovered that it might not be effective in saving lives, but was actually very useful, and so it said goodbye to the medical industry.

In this regard, RDX is not as good as its predecessor, nitroglycerin, which is actually used to treat heart disease.

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "It must be passivated. I have been thinking about this and came up with a formula. Can you guys try it out?"

It’s just that after passivation, the content of RDX should be guaranteed as much as possible. After all, in this day and age, apart from the expensive octogenol (HMX), this is the most powerful mass-produced explosive.

Mr. Gao, don't scare me. You can come up with a formula for high-energy explosives just by sitting there and thinking for an afternoon?
In Mr. Luo's opinion, this is simply a fantasy.

You can’t think of it out of thin air, but you can just copy it with cheats.

Ignoring Mr. Luo's reaction, Gao Zhendong directly picked up a pen and paper, wrote down a set of formulas on the paper, and handed it to him.

When Mr. Luo took it and looked at it, his eyes widened.

If it works, the power of this charge will definitely be huge, and the proportion of RDX will be far ahead of others.

"Boss Gao, the materials are all complete. These are the materials we usually use. But there is such a large proportion of black medicine in it. Will there be any problem?"

Black powder refers to RDX, not black gunpowder. In Mr. Luo's opinion, this thing looks not much different from pure RDX. Can it work?

"Try it! Are there any difficulties? If there are any difficulties, I will try it at the Grassland Tractor Factory. The conditions there are pretty good. I'll bring it back after trying it." Gao Zhendong didn't explain at all, and he couldn't explain it. He just confirmed it again.

The Grassland Tractor Factory has a research project on artillery-fired armor-piercing shells, and it can be done, but it's a bit troublesome because of the long distance.

If Lao He and the others knew about this, they would probably say: Mr. Gao, it's okay, we will drive back and forth ourselves and ensure that we won't delay your work.

But it is obvious that they have no such opportunity as they are far away. Mr. Luo is not stupid.

Difficult? Just kidding, what kind of difficulty can it be? We are professionals.

If this thing succeeds, it will be amazing. You can tell with your heels that the scope of use of this thing is definitely not as simple as a concentrated energy armor-piercing warhead. President Luo is not willing to let it go just like that. No matter how outrageous this formula looks, since it comes from President Gao, it is worth a try.

Other factories wanted this opportunity but couldn't get it. If it weren't for our advantage, we would have taken advantage of this opportunity and ran to the Grassland Tractor Factory.

As for Changjian Factory, they have experience in mixing ladder black-XX. Changjian Factory is more familiar with the process. There are only four components, the purpose of each component is clear, and the characteristics of the components are also clear. The order of addition and process requirements can be roughly calculated, and there is no problem with safety.

As for the test, if you follow the operating specifications and have full safety awareness, there will be no problem.

Let’s get it done.

Mr. Luo snatched the note from Gao Zhendong and said with a smile, "No, they are tractors after all, and they are not as professional as us. How can we trouble other comrades with such matters? It's dangerous, so leave it to us!"

After saying that, he turned around to greet the staff, organize the manpower, and prepare to start work the next day.

However, Gao Zhendong reminded them of one thing: "Don't be impatient, don't act recklessly, and pay attention to safety." He was afraid that the comrades at the Changjian Factory would be too eager for success and ignore safety, which would cause problems.

Facts have proved that the comrades at the Changjian Factory were indeed professional. After they had a clear ratio, it took them only three days to figure out the process and mix the first batch of new propellant, which they also gave a temporary name - Black Mix 60.

Well, these comrades’ talent in naming is not much better than Gao Zhendong’s.

However, this name is very misleading. If you don’t know, you might think that RDX only accounts for 60%.

In fact, this 60 means 60 years, which is pretty cool.

However, in Gao Zhendong's opinion, this name is at least much better than Tihei's other name - B Explosive. Just thinking about this name when used in daily life makes the picture extremely beautiful.

The first batch of explosives was not filled into the warhead, but solidified into blocks for testing.

The comrades at the Changjian Factory worked quickly and measured most of the basic parameters in just one morning.

Ignition point, detonation velocity, detonation gas volume, explosion heat, impact test, vibration test, high temperature test. After going through each test one by one, most of the results have been released, except for tests such as thermal stability which take time.

Looking at the test results, the comrades at the Changjian Factory were so surprised that they were speechless.

Mr. Gao's writing is awesome!!!

This sentence is the most direct and can best reflect their feelings.

As everyone knows, the formula of Black Mix 60 was thought up by Mr. Gao in one afternoon. Everyone has high hopes for this thing, but it is expected that there will be twists and turns.

Mainly because this recipe looks a bit off.

However, the test results show that we don’t know what we can’t see, but what we can see proves one thing - this thing is reliable!

And it’s very reliable!
From the perspective of explosive combustion performance, it is close to RDX itself, which is what everyone expects. After all, RDX accounts for that much, it would be strange if it is not close. This also means that the explosive combustion performance of Black Mix 60 is very good, far exceeding that of B, no, Ti-Black charge.

All that remains is stability.

To everyone's surprise, just a few other components were able to completely calm RDX's violent temper. As the saying goes, "one thing conquers another."

It is also easy to fill and has very good physical properties after molding.

If I have to say something, it is that the performance of thermal stability is still unknown, but this is not a particularly big problem. Even if there is a problem with thermal stability, at least it will be of great use.

Moreover, high-temperature stability is currently being tested. Although only a few hours have passed since it was heated to the predetermined temperature, which is far from the requirement of more than 150 hours, the current situation is still quite optimistic.

"Boss Gao, you are amazing!"

It's not me who is the god, it's the real researchers who are the gods. Gao Zhendong could only think about this in his heart. He was as excited as everyone else.

The people at the Changjian Factory were excited and made all-out efforts to arrange the combat forces!
The second batch of Black Mix 60 that was filled into the warhead of the disposable rocket launcher had already solidified. The production of the second batch did not start after the first batch was tested, which would have made the production too late. Instead, the production started when the first batch was filled and formed. In fact, in terms of time, the two batches were produced one after the other.

The process was similar to the first day of testing the Ti-Black warhead, and everyone was nervously waiting for the first penetration data.

After the roar and bustle, a tester holding a probe shouted, "Mr. Gao! 607! 607!"

The scene suddenly fell silent. Everyone was speechless and looked at Gao Zhendong.

Gao Zhendong was also excited. Although it was not as good as 630, just over 600 was already very good. It was also a reflection of the technological gap between the two eras. There was nothing to regret.

He can proudly say that his and Changjian Factory's efforts have not been in vain and have not let down the hard work of future scientific and technological workers.

He raised his hand: "Comrades, now we can proudly say that all enemy armored weapons will wail under our firepower! Cheer!!!"

As he chopped down with force, all the comrades present jumped up.

There was no language, and it was difficult to organize any words. They just cheered and expressed their joy. Even people like Mr. Luo and the factory director, who should have been mature and prudent, let go for a while and shouted and danced together.

If this feeling of breaking through the ceiling is commonplace for Gao Zhendong, then for everyone in the Changjian Factory, this is the first time. Maybe they will get used to it in the future, but now, they are just unscrupulously enjoying the joy of success.

600 armor penetration, even twenty years later, it can still give enemy tanks a hard time.

The early model of the T-72 that made the entire Western world tremble had a frontal penetration rating of roughly this value.

After everyone calmed down a little, General Luo said in high spirits: "Comrades, let's work harder and finish the entire experiment. If we have to hand in the answer sheet, we must hand in a perfect one!"

All the comrades burst into laughter. This makes sense!

In this joyous atmosphere, everyone was busy but not chaotic, each doing their own job and happily busy.

Gao Zhendong sat in a chair and watched all this with satisfaction. Apart from the necessary signatures and confirmations, he did not do any other work. However, comrades passing by looked at him with admiration.

At 4 p.m., a document was sent from the confidential room of Changjian Machinery Factory to the Defense Work Committee.

——"Report on Major Breakthrough in Anti-tank Warhead".

It only talked about the warhead and nothing else, like disposable rocket launchers, better rocket engines, etc.

The people at the Changjian Factory are very skilled at reporting good news. For such a major breakthrough, don't say anything else. If you mix it all together, it will not only dilute the main theme, but also waste other achievements, a lose-lose situation!

The leaders of the Defense Work Committee were in a meeting, and the meeting was not very urgent. After weighing the pros and cons, the communicator sent him directly to the meeting place.

The leader who was listening to the report paused his comrades' reports, took the document, opened it and looked at it.

The leader's eyes froze from the first row.

He rubbed his eyes and looked again.

"Under the leadership of Comrade Gao Zhendong", well, this is not surprising, Gao Zhendong is leading them to develop anti-tank missiles.

"Warhead caliber 80mm", huh? This caliber is the caliber of the rocket launcher warhead, which is a circle smaller than the planned anti-tank weapon. They also messed with the rocket launcher?

"When using traditional Ti-XX charge, the static armor penetration depth is 420mm"

What? How much? This is when the leader rubs his eyes.
