Chapter 105 Rocket Launcher
When countries around the world are investing huge amounts of manpower and material resources to prevent the disaster from happening again, we can reduce this part of the investment and put all our efforts into construction because we have confirmed that the disaster is over.
This undoubtedly bought us some favorable time.
The New Era Office is very efficient. Not long after Zhang Dongliang made his last request, Director Shang Yucheng sent the prepared paper and ink to Zhang Dongliang.
Zhang Dongliang checked carefully and found that the paper was prepared according to the standards of archival paper and the ink also met the requirements of the printer.
The current world situation is not peaceful, and we cannot simply judge some issues from the perspective of people who have experienced it in the future.
The reason why we can have such a long period of peace in later generations is that we have invested huge manpower and material resources in military strength to carry out preparations, which makes the hostile forces dare not act rashly.
If we simply think that there will be no war in the next few decades and do not make preparations, that will definitely not work. Didn’t a great man say, “Imperialism’s desire to destroy us will never die.”
Then it is a bit particular about what to provide. It cannot be too advanced, but also can be made under the current technical conditions.
The first thing Zhang Dongliang is going to bring out is the Type 63 107 rocket launcher. With these technical data, it should be earlier than 63 years.
This 107 rocket launcher, AK47 assault rifle and RPG-7 rocket launcher were later called the three great weapons.
Until Zhang Dongliang traveled through time, the 107 rocket launcher was still in full swing. It is said that the annual export volume is extremely large, which shows the excellent performance of this weapon.
This weapon should have just been launched and is currently under development. Zhang Dongliang is ready to provide some technical information to allow this weapon to be released ahead of schedule.
Since our country lacks vehicles and other means of transportation, Big Brother's large rocket launchers are not practical for us.
The original intention of the development at that time was to design a rocket launcher that could be transported by human and animal power. The 107 rocket launcher was designed based on this concept.
The range of the 107 rocket launcher is about 8.5 kilometers. The rocket is designed to weigh 18.8 kilograms, which is just enough for one soldier to carry, even in complex terrain and long marches.
The total weight of the 107 rocket launcher is very light, only 385 kg when not loaded. It can also be quickly disassembled and combined, and the weight of each component after disassembly does not exceed 30 kg.
In order to meet the requirements of the human back, the decomposed part has the following characteristics in terms of structural dimensions: not higher than the neck (for easy raising the head), not lower than the hips (for easy striding), not wider than the shoulders (for easy passing), and the center of gravity is close to the body (to prevent twisting of the waist).
In these aspects, it can be said that no other rocket launcher in the world can compare with the 107 rocket launcher.
The 107 rocket launcher can not only be fired from a single tube, but when necessary, it does not need a launch device and can be placed directly on the ground and fired after aiming with a few ordinary batteries and two ordinary wires.
Furthermore, there were reports that Afghans used stones to smash the back covers of 107 rockets, lined them up on the ground, and then ignited and fired them directly.
Zhang Dongliang actually saw the video of this Afghan man igniting and launching a rocket with fire in later life.
Maybe this weapon will be called Type 62 107 rocket launcher in the future. The earlier the weapon equipment forms combat effectiveness, not only will it save a lot of trial and error costs, but it will also strengthen national defense one day earlier.
Director Shang Yucheng attached great importance to this. After Zhang Dongliang provided the information, he went out to report to the relevant departments.
"Please wait a moment, Director Shang."
It is not enough to just provide weapon design drawings. There are still many equipment that need to provide design drawings in the future. There is currently a big problem, that is, there is a lack of special steel that can be used in the country.
Zhang Dongliang also found some relatively advanced special steel formulas before the 80s and gave them to Director Shang.
Why is the special steel formula so valuable? Because it is the result of countless trials and errors, which consumes a great deal of manpower, material resources and time, and is almost entirely a matter of luck.
In addition, knowing the formula of special steel is not enough. Why is it called special steel? The most important thing is the special heat treatment process.
High temperature first or low temperature first? Or high temperature first and then low temperature? There are many complicated steps between high and low temperature. Missing any step will not work, and the wrong order of steps will not work.
These heat treatment processes are top secret.
If the formula can be analyzed by analyzing the composition of steel, then you can never analyze the heat treatment process, which is the most critical link in the processing and manufacturing of special steel.
What is particularly problematic is that some steel products cannot be used immediately after production, but must be stored for ten to twenty years before they can be used.
Why must it be left there for such a long time? It is mainly to eliminate the stress inside the steel and prevent the steel from deforming during the stress change process, thus affecting the accuracy of the equipment.
The steel used for the base of precision machine tools must first be processed into a blank and then placed for 20 years before it can be used.
For a period of time after the 80s, our country was unable to process the bases of precision machine tools due to the lack of this steel that had been stored for many years.
Later, out of desperation, a genius came up with an idea: to use marble as the base of the precision machine tool, as marble would not deform.
But this opportunistic method also has a fatal disadvantage, that is, marble is too brittle. If the machine tool vibrates too much, the base will be broken. Although it is not a long-term solution, it is at least an emergency method.
Zhang Dongliang didn't know anything about metallurgy, so he could only provide some technical information. He had no say in the follow-up arrangements, nor could he provide any guidance.
Director Shang couldn't sit still after receiving the information, so he hurried out immediately. Before leaving, Director Shang arranged for security personnel to protect the information at the cost of their lives, and he went to mobilize personnel to escort the information.
As for light weapons, Zhang Dongliang originally planned to use the Type 81 gun family, but after careful consideration, he gave up the plan.
The Type 56 series of guns were originally developed based on the AK-47. Now they have been finalized and have just been fully equipped to the troops. It is not realistic to replace them in a short period of time.
The Type 56 rifle was designed based on the shortcomings of the Type 79 series of rifles after the Self-Defense Counterattack War in 81.
In particular, the Type 56 squad machine gun, despite its various shortcomings, was not withdrawn from the combat sequence until the 90s.
The Type 56 squad machine gun has undergone several improvements. Its drum-shaped ammunition box holds 100 rounds of ammunition and it is known as the light machine gun with the most powerful firepower.
The only drawback is that the barrel cannot be replaced. Continuous shooting can easily cause the barrel to turn red and soften, and the life of the entire gun is relatively short.
In the counterattack against the United States in 62, a few soldiers with Type 56 squad machine guns easily suppressed a large group of Bren light machine guns on the opposite side.
Oh my god! It’s almost 62 and I forgot about this important event.
Zhang Dongliang decided to wait for a while and tell Director Shang when he came back. Director Shang has been very busy recently.
