Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Is it about money again? Why does this scene look so familiar?

Secretary Song found it a bit amusing. As a secretary under the old leader, he had seen many people, all of whom were respectful to him. Even the children of powerful families didn't dare to speak loudly in front of him. Someone as thick-skinned as Qin Yang was truly the first.

Look at that Factory Director Zhu, his psychological resilience is poor, and he's so choked up he can't even speak. Then look at Qin Yang, he's so confident and justified when asking for money!

This kid really doesn't know how to be afraid.

However, such young people are energetic, vibrant, and capable. The future of the motherland depends on this new generation.

"Engineer Qin, 50 million in funding is too much." Leader Han said, "This project is indeed difficult for others, but it shouldn't be too difficult for you. I think you shouldn't ask for an exorbitant price. How about giving you 5 million in funding?"

"No way, absolutely not." Qin Yang shook his head like a rattle drum. "This is related to the ammunition replacement of the entire army, we must be cautious! What can 5 million in funding do? It's not even enough for us to build prototype ammunition and test guns!"

"10 million in funding, including subsequent production, either do it or forget it!"

"By the way, leaders, let's watch the second shooting, this time the range is set to 500 meters." Qin Yang then thought of his intention.

Five hundred meters? Leader Pan, who hadn't spoken all along, perked up. Really?

This tank gun hasn't been calibrated at all, can it hit the target at 500 meters?

Besides, wasn't it said that the ballistic characteristics of this new armor-piercing projectile are unknown? After firing it, who knows where it will drift to?

"The armor-piercing projectiles we developed before would drift. I don't know how this 105mm armor-piercing projectile will be." Zhuang Shuren said.

In that special era, weapons and equipment could not be purchased from abroad. Our military workers were not discouraged. If foreign countries didn't give it, then we would do it ourselves. Military experts developed 100 smoothbores and also developed special tail-stabilized armor-piercing projectiles, which were equipped on 69 tanks, but they were soon replaced.

The warhead flies out and drifts, and a gust of crosswind blows, and you don't know where it will hit! The troops' evaluation was very low, and they didn't dare to use it at all. They should honestly use the original gun!

Zhuang Shuren is a cannon expert from Factory 447. His questioning seems to indicate that this cannon will most likely fly off course. However, Leader Pan's excitement hadn't yet occupied his mind before it was occupied by worry.

This Qin Yang is very strange. Since he dares to do this, then he is sure of it! Zhuang Shuren's words are more like acting as Qin Yang's shill!

"Practice is the only standard for testing truth. Since Engineer Zhuang is worried, then keep your eyes wide open later." Qin Yang continued, "Please rest assured, leaders, our shells will not disappoint. Our Factory 960 has never disappointed the leaders."

These words are full of confidence.

The tank, which had retreated 500 meters, was once again ready to fire. Zhu Lao quietly stood in the safe area and watched. His heart was very calm, because he had completely trusted Qin Yang. This target shooting will definitely be successful!

A military expert like Qin Yang is somewhat wronged to work only in Factory 960. Should he be transferred to a higher-level department?

Boom! Just as Zhu Lao was thinking, the tank gun fired.

A blazing fireball spewed out from the muzzle, and the discarded sabot rod flew forward. After 0.3 seconds, it slammed into the first steel plate, and then the beautiful fireball snake scene reappeared.

"The trajectory is straight! There is no difference from zero-distance shooting! Its initial velocity must be very high!" Zhuang Shuren had been staring with wide eyes. Although he didn't use a mechanical stopwatch to measure, he could roughly calculate it: "I guess its initial velocity can reach 1500 meters per second!"

The higher the initial velocity of the shell, the straighter the trajectory! The domestically produced 59 tank uses a copy of the old Maozi's D-10T tank gun. The initial velocity of firing armor-piercing projectiles is only 895 meters per second, and the initial velocity of firing HEAT projectiles is only 850 meters per second. Therefore, after flying out, the curvature of the trajectory becomes larger and larger. The current armor-piercing projectile has an initial velocity of 1500 meters per second, and the trajectory is so straight that direct aiming within 500 meters is definitely possible!

"The trajectory is very stable. This armor-piercing projectile has not disappointed us!" Robert also said, "We must introduce its technology, even if we use CNC machine tools to exchange for it!"

He knew that the L7 tank gun could fire such a high initial velocity, but whether the penetrating rod would drift also depends on whether the shape is reasonable. Now, this armor-piercing projectile has proven with facts that it is mature and qualified!

"Everyone, aren't you going to see the armor-piercing capability?" Qin Yang asked with a smile.

This time, everyone paid attention to the trajectory and didn't pay attention to the armor-piercing capability. What is the penetration depth? Same as last time, just count the fireballs on the steel plate!

"I just counted, it penetrated ten pieces of armor. At a distance of 500 meters, its penetration depth was hardly affected!" Zhang Wanhe, who has been studying armor-piercing projectiles, said, "This is simply unbelievable, its velocity retention ability is too great!"

The target was still the original target, but the position hit by the second shell was about half a meter different from the first time. Everyone walked up to it, looking at the molten holes left on it, and they were all filled with emotion.

"The penetrating rod is stuck on the tenth steel plate!" Zhang Wanhe went straight to the tenth steel plate, looking at the slender penetrating rod stuck on that steel plate, fixed in the center, and said, "The armor-piercing capability at 500 meters is also 300 millimeters, it's too powerful!"

There are also various opinions about the standards for armor-piercing projectiles. The old Maozi's standards are low. It is okay if three out of four armor-piercing projectiles can penetrate. The West requires all of them to pass through.

From the actual effect, although the current penetrating rod is embedded in, it can also be considered penetrated. From the perspective of the killing mechanism, it has already been able to destroy the enemy's target.

Armor-piercing projectiles are just slender penetrating rods without any explosives. How do they kill the enemy?

The answer is to pierce through it. As long as the armor is pierced, even if the penetrating rod does not enter, the molten metal droplets will splash towards the tankers inside, splashing towards the ammunition inside, causing deflagration. If the penetrating rod goes in, it will be even more terrifying: the scorching penetrating rod will reflect back and forth inside the tank, stirring everyone inside into minced meat, and then, with the ammunition deflagration, everyone will turn to ashes.

Now, even if it is only embedded, it is still considered penetrated! Just now, fireballs also flashed on this steel plate, and a large number of metal droplets have already splashed out!

"That's right, the performance of this armor-piercing projectile is too strong!" Robert exclaimed, "If we use this technology to make 120mm armor-piercing projectiles, the performance will be even stronger!"

They want to introduce this technology, definitely not to improve the L7 tank gun. They have already upgraded to the L11 tank gun themselves. They just want to transplant this technology to their own armor-piercing projectiles.

Now, no need to doubt, no need to hesitate, hurry up and trade! Containing the old Maozi's rolling armored torrent depends on this technology!
