Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Aha?

I am just the director of a small weapons factory. How can I get involved in such a big event?

This kind of historic battle requires the equipment provided by me, Yu Ye?

What are you hesitating about? Just do it!

Yu Ye rubbed his hands, feeling a bit like the monk seeing Li Yunlong: "Leader, you give me face, I have to cover it.

Tell me what you want, and I will make it for you."

Seeing Yu Ye's confident look, several leaders all smiled. They had thought that it would take a lot of effort, but they didn't expect Yu Ye to be so proactive.

"Xiao Yu, this is what I think. We need a weapon that is simple, durable, highly portable, and has relatively strong firepower."

The commander said somewhat embarrassedly.

Seeing his leader, who was always known for his brave command style in combat, looking ashamed in front of him, Yu Ye couldn't help laughing.

Indeed, any artillery expert in this era would be at a loss after hearing the request of his leader.

Simple and tough.

Highly portable.

Do you really need strong firepower?

Any of these requirements is difficult to achieve with today's industrial level, especially at this stage of our industrial level.

What's more, these three conditions must be met.

If other technical experts were asked to handle this matter, even if the person in front of them was a leader, the technical experts would give four words: "Wishful thinking."

But now the one in charge of this matter is Yu Ye!

"Commander, this is easy. I have a magical tool that can achieve your goal."

"Divine weapon?" The brigade commander became interested and was very interested in Ye's statement.

"I designed a rocket launcher before, with a maximum range of 8.5 kilometers and a killing radius of 12.5 meters for each round."

“Only 12.5 meters?”

The commander was obviously not very satisfied with this data.

"Leader, this is the killing radius of a shell. When I designed this weapon, I designed it to be a 12-barreled gun, which means that one burst of fire will cover the area with 12 shells.

Such firepower should basically be equivalent to one of our current artillery battalions." Yu Ye introduced with a smile.

hiss!

The three leaders all gasped.

Our currently organized artillery unit is just an artillery regiment. If Yu Ye just takes out a cannon, it will be equivalent to the firepower density of an artillery battalion?

"Director Yu, how many people are needed to operate the cannon you mentioned?" The division commander no longer addressed Yu Ye by his name, but mentioned his official title to appear to take him more seriously.

"If they are trained properly, an artillery squad of five people will be enough."

"Five people operating this gun are equivalent to an artillery battalion?" Although the brigade commander wore glasses, his eyes were as big as cow eggs, and his surprise was evident in his expression.

"It shouldn't be a big problem."

Yu Ye felt a little uncomfortable with the fiery looks from the three leaders and tried to keep his voice as low as possible.

"Since this cannon is so powerful, it must be very heavy to move, right?"

“It’s not very heavy. When these 12 guns are assembled together, if they are not filled with shells, they will weigh about 300 kilograms, and it is estimated that they will not exceed 650 kilograms.

If suitable wheels could be found, the gun could be towed at any time.

We can get a mule to pull it all over the mountain, no problem at all."

"......"

If the eyes of the three leaders just now were just fiery, then now the eyes of the three leaders are about to spit fire.

"Ahem, three leaders, don't get excited yet. I haven't finished speaking yet. This gun can be disassembled at any time, and the weight of each component does not exceed 30 kilograms.

Moreover, if you carry it on your back, it will not be higher than your neck nor lower than your hips, and the center of gravity will be close to your back.

It only takes seven or eight soldiers to carry it all over the place.

The weight of the shell is just right. The current design weight of a shell should be around 18 kilograms, and it should not exceed 20 kilograms.

It shouldn't be a problem for a soldier to carry two shells."

Yu Ye patiently introduced the cannon he designed to the three leaders.

The brigade commander didn't care about anything else. He put his hands on Yu Ye's shoulders and shook him vigorously: "Director Yu, tell me quickly, where is my gun?"

Yu Ye: “…”

Yu Ye was originally planning to introduce another feature of this gun to the three leaders, which is that it can be fired when there is a launcher, and when there is no launcher, it can still be fired by just knocking open the back shell and lighting the fire.

However, seeing how excited the brigade commander was, Yu Ye gave up the idea of ​​continuing the introduction.

Yu Ye was afraid that if he continued to introduce himself, it would not just be the brigade commander who would pinch his shoulders, but the three leaders would come over and pinch his shoulders.

For the sake of his own shoulders, Yu Ye swallowed the words.

"Commander, Commander, please stop shaking me. If you keep shaking me, I'm going to die."

Yu Ye secretly complained in his heart that if the brigade commander was in his era, he would definitely be a good shaker.

The other two leaders quickly stopped the brigade commander's crazy behavior, but still stared at Yu Ye with eyes that were about to spit fire and said, "Hurry up and tell us, what you just told us is true!"

“Reporting to the two leaders, everything I just said is true, and I have drawn the blueprints.

The most important things are nothing more than three items. The first is the gun steel used in the barrel; the second is the propellant used in the solid engine of the artillery shell; and the third is to have a suitable impact fuse.

But this is not too difficult for me.

As for the gun steel, since this gun is a rocket launcher, the requirement for chamber pressure is not very high. The batch of gun steel obtained from Qiu Qingquan is sufficient for making key components such as the gun barrel and breech block.

We now have a gunpowder laboratory in Liaoyuan Arsenal to make propellant. I can lead them to do a few more experiments and we will be able to make it.

The collision fuse, also known as the trigger fuse, can be made with some time. If the leaders are in a hurry, they can directly take the trigger fuses of the mortars in our arsenal and modify them a little bit.

At this rate, I should be able to complete the manufacture of the first rocket launcher in fifteen days at most, and also make one or two shells for test firing.

Then we can ask the leaders to come and check our work.”
