Siheyuan: I can integrate everything!

Chapter 101: Extraordinary Solemnity

"Jia Dongxu, why don't you thank the squad leader for saving your life? If he was one second later, you would have lost both your hands."

"Yes! Jia Dongxu, are you working or walking in your sleep?"

"From what I understand, he has a beautiful wife at home. I guess he stayed up too late at night and didn't get enough rest."

"Haha, that's very likely!"

The solemn atmosphere at the scene suddenly became more relaxed because of these words, and everyone couldn't help laughing; however, Jia Dongxu couldn't laugh.

Amidst the pain and shock, I listened to everyone's discussion and thought back on how I had indeed been a bit rash.

At the same time,

R&D office.

Wan Xingbang received important visitors from military institutions.

"Students, please pay attention. Now I will introduce you to General Yang."

"General Yang, this is Wan Xingbang, the engineer who developed the new armor-piercing shells. He is also the director of the technical research and development department of our steel rolling mill."

The team leader made introductions for both parties.

What surprised Wan Xingbang was that the visitor turned out to be a general, about fifty years old, with a strong appearance and only a few barely noticeable gray hairs.

He saluted solemnly!

General Yang paid a formal tribute to Wan Xingbang:

"Director Wan, I really appreciate the new weapons you developed, which have played an important role in enhancing military strength!"

General Yang looked solemn and dignified.

"General Yang, all of this is part of my job!"

Even though he had not received any formal training, Wan Xingbang still returned a low-standard military salute as a sign of respect; although it was not professional, it was full of seriousness.

"Director Wan, there is a question about your research that has always puzzled me."

"According to the demonstration, your armor-piercing projectile has a maximum effective range of three kilometers, and can accurately hit targets within this range; but when soldiers actually use it to shoot, the accuracy drops significantly and it is impossible to accurately identify the target. I would like to ask what is the reason for this situation?"

General Yang's question was a real problem for him.

A precision sniper is a weapon that requires extremely precise aiming. The target it strikes is extremely precise. If it does not hit the target accurately, no matter how powerful it is, it will be useless. "General Yang, before answering your question, I would like to ask you a question first: Does a precision sniper ** need time to fly?" Wan Xingbang began to ask.

"That will certainly take time!" General Yang answered without any hesitation.

For such a simple and clear question, there is no need to think deeply about it. No matter how fast the sniper rifle is, there must be a very short flight time from pulling the trigger to firing the rifle to the final hit mark.

"Then I have another question for you: Under normal circumstances, what are the distances of these two types of shooting? In other words, what are the distances of the precision sniper and the ordinary **?"

"The usual shooting distance of a close-range ** weapon such as this ** may be only a few meters to more than ten meters or even dozens of meters; in contrast, the range of an ordinary precision sniper is farther, usually within one or two hundred meters."

"What are the initial velocities of these two types of guns?"

"The initial velocity of a rifle bullet is about 300 to 400 meters per second, while the initial velocity of a sniper bullet is higher, about 500 to 600 or even 600 to 700 meters per second."

General Yang didn't know why Wan Xingbang asked these basic questions, but he still cooperated and gave answers.

"Because the initial velocity of the bullet is 300 to 400 meters per second, and it hits at a distance of several meters or even tens of meters. The flight time is almost negligible. It can be said that the bullet is flying in a straight line."

"The muzzle velocity of a precision sniper rifle is 600 to 700 meters. Even within a shooting distance of 100 to 200 meters, the impact of such a flight period is not significant. It can also be considered that it is shooting in a straight line." Wan Xingbang concluded.

Others, including General Yang, agreed. People often say that even an immortal cannot avoid the streak of fire. This is exactly the speed of the bullet: as soon as you see the gunshot and the flash, it is too late to dodge in time.

“But the precision sniper I designed is different from the situation.”

"The initial velocity of a precision sniper rifle is about 900. For a target three kilometers away, it will take at least three seconds to fly over such a distance."

"And at the same time, there are many factors such as gravity, wind and atmospheric humidity that can change its trajectory."

"Let's take Earth's gravity, which we are most familiar with, as an example. If we let go of an object and let it fall freely, let's see how far it falls in just three seconds. At this time, the sniper will take a curved route."

"How can you ensure accuracy if you still rely on the old straight-line standard?" "The longer the distance, the greater the deviation will be if you use this rule."

Then, Wan Xingbang explained.

When other ** understood his reasoning, they also began to [Too much sensitive content, unable to continue output]

He could recognize the contents of the manual separately, it was just words with some symbols, but he couldn't understand them when they were put together.

““Do you understand?””

General Yang handed the manual to the person next to him.

The person next to him looked at it for a while, shook his head, and passed it to the next person.

Three minutes later.

The manual returned to General Yang's hands.

No one can understand it.

"Director Wan, can you explain the contents of the manual?"

This problem gave General Yang even more headaches.

"The manual contains some basic knowledge about shooting, plus a few common calculation formulas."

"The calculations include how the missile is affected by gravity, wind speed, humidity and other changes that would affect the missile's flight path."

"Once you learn it, make the calculations in advance, and you can hit the target accurately even if it is three thousand meters away."

Wan Xingbang explained.

After listening to the explanation, General Yang smiled bitterly and nodded.

It was the early 1960s, and New China had not yet implemented comprehensive education, and the overall cultural level of society was low.

A similar situation also exists among soldiers.

Most soldiers probably can't understand mathematical equations.

So General Yang explained the actual situation.

“I didn’t think it through!”

This made Wan Xingbang suddenly realize.

He himself came from a more developed era, when tasks required a basic level of literacy.

Many college students have also joined the military.

When writing the manual, he ignored the cultural conditions at the time, which resulted in the manual being difficult for most people to understand.

"Don't worry, General Yang. I'll think about it. There will definitely be a solution."

"I have an idea. I have two solutions for you to consider."

“One way is to set up training courses.”

"There are not many formulas in the manual. We only need to hold a simple temporary training class to let the soldiers master the skills of use without having to delve into the principles."

"I estimate that within about half a month, the soldiers will be able to learn basic calculations."

This is Wan Xingbang’s proposal.

“You can learn it in half a month?”

“Very good!”

“It’s not a long process.”

General Yang relaxed a little.

“What’s the alternative?”

General Yang asked.

"Another option is to add more personnel positions and operate in teams of two, one responsible for **shooting** and the other dedicated to observing external factors."

"Let those who are good at shooting take charge of the shooting."

"The computational part is done by people who are less skilled in this area."

The above is the second proposal put forward by Wan Xingbang.

“Whether to hold a training course is optional for the first option, but it is a necessary option for the second option because the two-person team must work together.”

"The shooter's focus when shooting is mainly on the scope, which has a limited range."

"This means that its observation area is narrow and it is easy to ignore the surrounding environment. In this case, someone must be an observer to be responsible for wide-angle environmental survey."

"So a two-person team, a shooter and an observer, can play the best role!"

Once again, Wan Xingbang emphasized the importance of this second option.

After hearing this, General Yang pondered for a moment and nodded solemnly.

He had used the gun invented by Wan Xingbang before, and it was indeed easy to ignore the surrounding situation when focusing on the target through the scope.

If there is no one around to partner with him while he is concentrating on pursuing his target, what should he do if the enemy approaches him silently?

"General, I think Team Leader Wan's opinion is correct. The training class can be held or cancelled, but the special training personnel must be teamed up in pairs, and they must be equipped with an observer!"

“I support that, too.”

"I agree as well."

Many of the personnel trained in the 1960s have real battlefield experience.

When Wan Xingbang gave another proposal, they immediately concluded after referring to their previous actual combat experience: this proposal is basically feasible!

"Team Leader Wan, I found the right person."

General Yang let out a long sigh.

Problem solved.

"Once we have trained a group of top shooters, coupled with the new equipment you designed and the armor-piercing gun, we will be able to hit the target every time at a distance of more than three kilometers."

"Whether they encounter enemy armored units, fortresses, or other defensive facilities, they are as vulnerable as paper tigers."

These words made General Yang seem extremely excited.

"Team Leader Wan, I came to visit the steel mill in person not only to seek assistance, but also to commend your outstanding contribution on behalf of the country."

Speaking of this, General Yang's face looked particularly solemn.

Simultaneously,

A fellow traveler handed over a box, placed it on the table, and opened it.

The box was filled with all kinds of things: new weapons, medals of honor, coins, certificates. It was a big box stuffed to the brim.

"Mr. Wan Xingbang, I am very grateful for the new weapons you designed for our army. Now, on behalf of **, I publicly present you with the honor and award."

"Comrade Wan Xingbang, you have diligently researched and developed several new types of weapons, which have greatly enhanced the national defense and the overall combat effectiveness of the military."
