Chapter 348: An Unintentional Bug
Oh, so there is new propellant, then it’s okay.

No, what did I just hear? He even got a new propellant?
"When did you get a propellant?" The leaders knew that the anti-tank missile had a new propellant, but they also had this thing?

Gao Zhendong answered casually: "It was made for the project I cooperated with Changjian Factory. If the charge structure is changed, it can also be used here."

This kid is really a thrifty guy who doesn't let any of them go. He is quite thrifty.

"Zhendong, take out this thing of yours. It can hit far and has incredible power. How can we deal with this 40 fire?"

Those who lead troops know that the change from 100 meters to 150 meters is not just a simple change in numbers. It means that the options available in battle have increased significantly, and the attack distance and launching positions are more flexible, resulting in a significant reduction in casualties.

Gao Zhendong was not easy to respond to this, so he smiled and said, "Anyway, it doesn't take up any space. If it can be produced, it will be distributed to the troops in need according to the production quantity. It will not affect the existing 40 rockets. But now only a small part of this thing is ready, and the rocket itself needs some minor modifications after testing, and the other half is still being worked on."

"Half? What's the other half?"

"The launch tube is now made of steel, which is expensive and heavy. I have asked my comrades in the chemistry department to develop a plastic launch tube."

"Plastic? Can it withstand it? Have you considered using aluminum alloy?" This is another new thing. How many weird ideas does this kid have in his head?

Aluminum alloy is much lighter than steel cylinders and stronger than plastic, so it sounds like a good choice.

Gao Zhendong shook his head: "Hard aluminum alloy is difficult to process, and its price is even more expensive than steel. If possible, I would like to try the plastic tube. In order to be disposable, I even designed the sight to be made of optical plastic, just to save money."

At that time, our aluminum alloy processing technology was quite average, but the good thing about plastic is that once it is finalized and produced in batches, the price will drop rapidly.

The leader nodded: "It seems that your ideas are very clear, you can give it a try."

The user who had been listening and thinking suddenly spoke up: "Keep going, just for the sake of 'mass war', you have to keep going, your idea is very good. Even if it fails, the existing results are already amazing enough, and it will be even better if it succeeds!"

What this means is that if it works, it will be a disposable tube. If it doesn't work, this combat unit is not a loss and can be used anywhere.

Gao Zhendong responded with a “Yes!”.

The leaders of the Defense Work Committee were also concerned about another question: "Zhendong, is there anything special about the cost, raw materials, and process of the black mixed 60 charge you made?"

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "The comrades from the Changjian Factory are more familiar with this matter. Let him answer it."

Mr. Luo secretly thought that Mr. Gao was being righteous and lifted his spirits: "The cost is a little higher than the current TiHei-XX, mainly because of the raw materials. The raw materials and the process are not too special, so it is easier to produce."

"Well, that's good. Just keep it confidential."

The words of the Defense Work Committee leader were somewhat incoherent. Why did he suddenly jump to the topic of confidentiality?

However, the two did not ask. In their work, this sentence could be put anywhere and there was no problem in mentioning it.

After saying this, the leader smiled and said, "Make the disposable rocket launcher a separate project, and don't mix it with your cooperative projects. You should also separate the Hei Hun 60 from the rocket launcher and make it a separate project. It would be unfair to put it in the rocket launcher. The same goes for the propellant of your rocket engine. They should all be separate projects. They are universal items, so don't put them under other projects, lest other comrades think they are special items."

Gao Zhendong didn't feel anything. I'm in charge of killing but not burying. I'm in charge of doing it but not using it. It's all fine.

However, Mr. Luo was overjoyed. He was working on a project with Mr. Gao, and now there were four of them. He felt great. "Okay, boss. I'll do this right away when I get back."

This is not as simple as changing one plan into four. With four projects, the number of people who can fill the vacancies has suddenly increased many times, and how many practical problems of comrades can be solved? These projects are all in the production task direction of Changjian Factory, and the arrangement of people is very smooth.

Well, no, Mr. Gao also needs to report a few more people over. It all depends on him.

"You, the black 60, must complete the relevant inspection and testing work as soon as possible, establish the project as soon as possible, and complete the project as soon as possible."

Mr. Luo was a little troubled: "Leader, the current inspection projects are all long-term ones. I'm afraid they can't be completed in a short time."

Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "It's not that there is no way. If we speed it up, we can make a close judgment. It's still possible within the theoretical range."

Hmm? You also understand this? The user looked up at Gao Zhendong.

The leader of the Defense Work Committee suddenly remembered something and laughed, "Oh, yes, I almost forgot that you have a magic weapon for equipment acceleration testing. These tests in the vibration and temperature directions happen to be your strong points. By the way, don't forget to go to class. It's in these few days."

The meeting did not last long. For Gao Zhendong and his team, the final result was that the project was split up and they continued to work on it seriously.

Gao Zhendong felt a sense of urgency. The power of this disposable rocket launcher could basically be said to be advanced within twenty years, not bad within thirty years, and sufficient within forty years.

Once produced, it can be basically guaranteed that there is no need to replace the equipment within forty years, which is a lot of money.

One very helpless thing is that, according to what Gao Zhendong knew in his previous life, when it was discovered that the old 40 rocket was useless, the production of rockets had reached millions, and then new 40 rockets were produced to replace them.

If we can reduce the reloading process, it will be as significant as avoiding the huge scrapping of millions of tanks. In addition, in 69, the Russians left more than just the No. 545 tank on the island. You should know that our soldiers were very accurate. In order to ensure the hit rate, they even dared to get close to the Russian tanks about 30 meters to fire. The problem was that the No. 40 fire could not penetrate.

It’s exciting just to think about it, and Gao Zhendong feels happy.

After Gao Zhendong and others left, only two people from the Defense Work Committee and two others were left at the scene. They still had things to discuss.

"This rocket launcher is too powerful. Its technology must not be leaked out. It can only be used by ourselves."

The plainclothes man who looked like the user had been silent until now and only spoke now.

"Yes, our tanks are finally going to have the advantage in armor and firepower, but once this thing leaks out, part of it will be offset. Moreover, part of its powerful power comes from its structure, and once it leaks out, it will be very easy for the enemy to seize and copy it."

"Well, I will report this matter. Fortunately, the current 40mm rounds are quite powerful and are just right for foreign aid. They are enough to support the anti-imperialist struggle of friendly countries."

This is good news for manufacturers of the existing 40-round rockets. Even if disposable rocket launchers are successfully developed and the decision is really made to change the organization, production tasks will not be reduced. You must know that in this regard, our output has always been considerable, the only difference is whether or not to charge for it.

Gao Zhendong didn't know that the thing he made was so explosive that what we later gave to others were the old 40 fire, including that ungrateful guy in the south.

These old 40mm guns are almost enough to fight against the Citigroup's M-60s, but they are completely insufficient to deal with our light tanks equipped with explosive counterattack.

The American M-60 is actually very bad. Let's put it this way. Not to mention the dual stabilizers, there is not even a single stabilizer. There is no horizontal or vertical, nothing! It was not until 72 that the dual stabilizers were installed on the A1 model. If it really had to be put against the Russian tanks of the same period, it would basically be crushed to the ground.

This performance bug accidentally introduced by Gao Zhendong happened just in time!
These are things for later.

At this time, the leader of the Defense Work Committee said to the man in military uniform, "What do you think of this young man's unspoken idea?"

In fact, it can be seen that Gao Zhendong's idea is to use disposable rocket launchers to replace the existing 40 rockets, but this matter involves the organization issue, which is too big, so he didn't say it clearly.

"I think it's quite interesting. Many of his ideas make sense. Once the disposable rocket launcher he's working on is ready, we'll organize production and trial use of a batch, and then we'll talk about it. This is a pretty big deal."

This is the safe approach. Whether it’s a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk first.

A few people discussed for a while before dispersing.

As soon as the meeting was over, the leader of the Defense Work Committee arranged for someone to send a notice to the desert.

The content of this notice is actually what he wants to confirm most.
-
In the desert, at a base, several heroes were very excited.

"Finally, we have a preliminary result. The whole theoretical model is logically self-consistent and there are no problems."

"Yes, we have repeatedly verified the calculations here, and we can conclude that the model is reliable."

"We didn't expect it to be so fast. We thought it would take at least two or three years."

"Haha, when you mention this, we have to mention our great hero, DJS. Without such a large number of two generations of DJS, I guess we would have to count for a long time."

If Gao Zhendong knew this, he would definitely jump for joy, it's so much ahead of time!!

Originally, this theory was successfully established in 62!
Not the big one, but the small one.

"You can start the explosion now. It's dangerous to charge explosives, so be careful."

"I know. We will be careful."

"The detonation test is fine, but long-term stability is also something to consider."

“It’s being done.”

At this time, someone sent a report from the Defense Work Committee.

Someone opened it and burst into laughter after reading it.

"Comrades, there is good news from the capital, it's time to put down your pillow!"

"What's going on?" Others were puzzled.

"Look, a comrade has developed a charge that is very close in performance to what we are going to use, and most importantly, it is stable enough!"
