An Unscientific Mechanic

"Little classmate, let's discuss your graduation assignments."

"You designed a modular artillery system by yourself, and according to our experience and trial production tests, this gun, although still flawed, is already usable, and after several improvements by our old men, it should be able to It's listed. This is a great achievement, but you are still a student, and this credit cannot be distributed. So after you graduate, you will be a researcher under my staff and continue to work hard. It should be your credit that will fall to you.

As for the three of you, assisting in the development of a usable weapon system is also a rare experience. Come here directly after graduation, can you start as a grassroots researcher? "

The four people's heads almost appeared afterimages. Can you not agree to the recommendation of the academician? Besides, North Industries is also one of the largest companies in the Human Revolutionary Federation. Opportunities can be met but not sought.

"Well, the three of you disband, let's talk to Xiaoyi."

The three of them, together with Old Smirnoff, Uncle Bear got up and left.

"Come on little classmate, talk about your development ideas."

After a few seconds of silence, he calmed down and cleared his mind.

"The ms currently equipped in our country are road ms, and the AEU and union are all equipped with variable gram flying ms. The decree type and iron man type anti-air weapons only have 30mm cannon and 200mm smoothbore gun, which are extremely efficient against air Poor. It’s not even as efficient as calling Air Force fighter jets for support. And the anti-aircraft missiles carried by the accompanying infantry are hard to threaten the armor of MS due to insufficient charge. So I want to develop a artillery that can deal with flying MS.”

"Oh? One artillery can't change the situation of our country's mobile suits being weak against the air."

"Then four doors."

He took out his mobile phone and found the design draft of the Iron Man air defense type that he made at that time.

"My gun is mainly designed for this special air defense ms. It is equipped with next-generation radar search and tracking system, next-generation optical targeting system, next-generation fire control system and other electronic equipment. It is armed with four 155mm rapid-fire guns, 16 Two heavy anti-aircraft and anti-MS missiles, each holding a water-cooled 60mm 6-tube liquid-cooled Vulcan cannon integrated with a carbon steel knife for close combat."

Academician Wang took the phone, looked at the constantly rotating 3D model, and discussed with the old comrades next to him.

"Oh my god... I don't know if the Air Defense Iron Man project has been approved at this point in time, and if the project is approved, will I be shot as a spy?"

"Okay, Xiao Yi, do you have any ideas about those next-generation radars you mentioned?"

"of course not."

Ian said confidently with his eyes wide open.

That innocent look further illustrates the problem.

"I haven't learned the relevant knowledge."

It's just that Ian's inner thoughts are:

"Of course I will. The theory of close-in defense guns includes radar and optical scanning and tracking technology. Of course, I design a gun that has been watched by spectators. If I say goodbye to radar, it will definitely be dissected!"

"Uh... also." Academician Wang obviously choked.

"Then I'll assign the other modules to other research groups for development." Academician Wang shook his head, obviously a bit regretful. "Go back and rest for a while, and then in the afternoon..."

"Actually, I still have a few ideas... It's just an idea now." Ian's soul of death burned up. "The orbital elevator uses defensive ms, iron man spider, and replaces the legs with ones that can move on the steel cables outside the orbital elevator." The cable car structure, the hand arm is replaced by a linear rifle powered by the rail elevator, and two sets of 6-linked missile launchers are mounted on the shoulders.

There is also a long-range bombardment sniper iron man equipped with a 300 mm 70-caliber cannon. The iron man is used in water, the propeller is changed to an underwater turbine propeller, equipped with multiple torpedo launchers and small linear guns. There is also a reconnaissance iron man, equipped with..."

"Stop, stop, you can't get through with the iron man, why are all the changes made by the iron man? Why did you come up with so many ideas?"

"Improving Type 59 is a tradition, and people always need a hobby..."

"Come on, I'll find someone to show you the train of thought, you go back first...Forget it, I'll take you to the cafeteria for something to eat and we can chat..."

"Your gun should not only be installed on MS, right? This gun has a high degree of modularity and versatility, so the design should not be bad."

"Yeah." Eating the canteen food provided by the academicians, Ian, unable to speak, expressed his affirmation, "Fortifications, naval ships, spaceships, and tanks can all be used by replacing some modules. Now the artillery of each service is not universal. What's more, the current tiger-type transport ship is unarmed, which is too strange for a military ship. In the near future, there should be space ms flying all over the sky, at least add a close-in defense gun."

"That's the reason. A research team also thought of this problem. They designed a four-barrel space turret for your gun. It should be put into experiment today and tomorrow..."

"Buzz...buzz..."

Taking out his mobile phone, Academician Wang read a message, "Well, the live ammunition shooting experiment this afternoon, the turret was built. The new shells you designed have also produced prototypes, let's try it out this afternoon."

"I wanted to ask just now, why the transformation speed of the drawings and real objects here is so fast."

"Using 3D printing, most of the parts can be shaped by 3D printing."

"Long experience..."

"Xiao Yi, you still have a lot to learn in the future..."

Seeing that Ian, a suspected genius, asked a rookie-level common sense question, the old man grinned happily.

Call the secretary to drive the two of them to the shooting test site. The research team that designed the space carrier-based near-anti-aircraft gun has already placed the finished turret on the test site. Several large forks are placed on the mountain in the distance. A truck carrying a target drone was parked, and at the foot of the mountain were dozens of armor plates for shooting tests.

"The shooting experiment started 15 minutes later, the shooting range was cleared, and irrelevant personnel quickly evacuated the site." Announcements and alarm bells echoed in the sky above the site.

"The shooting experiment started, the first loading of high-explosive shells, the secondary shells of guided shells, and then sequential loading, anti-aircraft shotguns, delayed/collision high-explosive shells, armor-piercing shells, sub-caliber armor-piercing shells, armor-piercing shells, and armor-piercing shells."

"Target hill number one target, single shot, open fire."

A few seconds after the sound of a cannon, a target in the distance exploded into a ball of fire, and a few seconds later there was a loud bang.

"Hit, damage assessment..."

"The second round is loaded, the laser pointer is activated, the target is on the second target, the muzzle points to the first target unchanged, and the gun is fired."

With the same cannon sound, the cannonball flew out, but the difference was that the cannonball obviously turned at an angle and hit another target.

"Hit, damage assessment..."

"Secondary reloading, target, armor plate for flying ms, shoot."

This time the shell detonated 3 meters in front of the armor plate, and hundreds of arrow-shaped warheads flew out, piercing the armor plate in front of it, and shooting the armor plate into a honeycomb.

"Hit, damage assessment..."

"Reload the second bomb, target No. 2 flight ms armor plate, shoot."

Well, this time the target armor plate was blasted with a huge hole.

"Secondary reload, target Iron Man armor plate, shoot."

The armor-piercing projectile penetrated 5 layers of Iron Man's main armor plate at a distance of one thousand meters, that is, 150 mm armor 5

"The target of the second round remains the same, shoot."

The armor-piercing projectile penetrated the 18th floor this time... The R\u0026D team watching next door let out a sound of air-conditioning...

"Subload, target, large armor block. Shoot"

The target this time is an armored steel block with a length, width and height of 1.5 meters.

A flame exploded on the surface of the steel block, and sharp-eyed people found that there was a flame coming out from behind the steel block.

"Hit, damage assessment, penetrated."

The sound of gnashing of teeth and gasping for air came from the next door again...

"Reload the second round, target 1000mm armor plate, and shoot."

This time, a large piece shattered from the rear of the armor plate, and the sputtered fragments were found hundreds of meters away.

"Prepare for continuous fire, load high-explosive bombs, target No. 1 target position, 30 rounds, shoot."

The huge sound was gathered into a huge "Om!" because it was built together, and it hit the faces of the crowd of onlookers. Distant explosions were concentrated in a small area.

"Hit, scatter 5 mils."

At this time, the scientific research team watching next door had already left, and Ian was a little puzzled. "Why do the people over there have such a bad expression?"

"Because of the Iron Man they designed, the weapons they will face in the future will at most be 200mm 25-caliber smoothbore guns, not such super-spec weapons.

Not surprisingly, their project had to be redone, and Iron Man's armor was rethought as such. After all, in front of this cannon, the iron man is not much better than the paper. "

Later, I saw that the target drone was torn into pieces by 30 companies of anti-air shotguns, and the turret fired at random in the air, and the shells finally hit the same point under the guidance of the laser pointer. And no matter how hard the target drone struggled, it couldn't escape the pursuit of the guided shells, and was eventually blown into pieces.

In the final test, even a decommissioned Decree was torn to pieces in 10 seconds of armor-piercing shell fire.

Ian finally realized that the lower limit of the artillery he designed was a bit low...
