Chapter 412 VT Proximity Fuze

Chapter 412 VT Proximity Fuze

Yu Ye took out two booklets from his back and handed them to Chen Kan: "This is what I wrote late at night about the ideas for the next stage of chemical industry development.

One booklet is about petrochemicals, which may not be used in Jin for the time being, but will definitely be used in the future.

Another booklet is coal chemical industry. With abundant supply of raw materials in Shanxi, this should be our next goal of vigorous development.

For your reference."

Chen Kan took the two booklets handed over by the teacher. These two booklets were not too thick, each with only about twenty pages, but each page was densely filled with chemical formulas, equipment compositions and various reaction parameters, which was enough to show Yu Ye's painstaking efforts and tremendous energy.

Not only have they devoted great efforts to the industry, these two booklets are also extremely important for China's chemical industry at this time. Based on the current reality, they provide a future development path.

Chen Kan could see that this booklet directly gave a picture of the development of China's chemical industry in the next twenty years.

As long as I follow the plans in these two booklets step by step, I will definitely become one of the leading figures in China's chemical industry in the future.

My teacher has brought me to such a high level, and this kindness is indeed great.

"teacher......"

When Chen Kan raised his head and wanted to say something, Yu Ye had already turned and left.

"Remember this, kid. You only have three months. If you can't show me the materials and manufacturing processes needed by the Liaoyuan Arsenal, I'll hang you up and beat you!"

Yu Ye waved his hand behind him and left without looking back.

......

"Teacher, the proximity fuze you mentioned is good, but it is extremely difficult to develop."

In the laboratory, a young student frowned and spoke to Yu Ye.

"Zhang Ying, this must be a difficult task. If it wasn't difficult, why would I give it to you?"

Yu Ye brought a young student with him and was explaining to him the principles of the proximity fuze and analyzing the difficulties encountered by the proximity fuze.

Zhang Ying: “…”

This young student was one of the first 15 college students recruited by Yu Ye. He was a physics student before. Yu Ye asked him to follow Guo Shoujue to be in charge of the power system for a period of time. He also studied piezoelectric ceramics with Chen Kan and systematically learned about fuses. Yu Ye decided to take him to complete the research and development of the proximity fuse.

This thing can be said to be a powerful weapon in the history of air defense.

Historically, before this thing was invented, it took an average of several thousand rounds of anti-aircraft artillery to shoot down an airplane. Even with the help of radar and time fuses, before the invention of proximity fuses, it took an average of at least 500 rounds of artillery to shoot down an airplane.

Like the previous Huangliangou air battle, it was a legendary battle that was fought because of sufficient geographical advantages and the Japanese underestimation of the enemy.

Today, Ping'an County is flat and flat, but it no longer has the geographical advantage it had back then, and it is impossible to lure the Japanese into deeper territory. Therefore, only by developing an absolute killer move can we defend against the bombing of the Japanese air force.

The special artillery shells that Yu Ye promised Yang Xing were anti-aircraft shells equipped with proximity fuses.

"Teacher, I calculated yesterday according to the idea you gave me. The entire anti-aircraft gun will be subjected to 2 gravitational accelerations in the barrel, and the shell will rotate rapidly at a speed of 3 revolutions per minute after leaving the barrel.

Under such circumstances, many of our current precision components simply cannot withstand this."

Zhang Ying also had a headache. He was very excited when he received the topic assigned by the teacher, but when he racked his brains and found that the solutions he came up with were not very feasible, he felt a little frustrated.

Especially since other classmates of his are all doing well in their careers, the pressure on him is even greater.

"When did I tell you that I would need to use sophisticated components?"

Yu Ye said unhappily.

“I have always told you that all our military products must adhere to one principle, that is, they must be durable and easy to operate.

No matter how good the performance of a product is, if it is not stable and strong, and any of our soldiers can use it after a little training, it is not a good military product. "

Yu Ye nodded Zhang Ying's head and said.

"Yes, teacher, I will pay attention."

"Remember the technology black box theory I told you all about before? For our military products, especially the weapons used by grassroots soldiers, the technology black box principle is the most suitable."

Yu Ye calmed down and explained to his student.

"Teacher, I remember now. A technical black box is one that makes the things inside the black box precise and high-tech enough, but simple enough for people outside to operate."

"Yes, you have a good memory."

Yu Ye nodded. At this moment in the 41st year, technology is not that far away from ordinary people. Many technologies are still easy to accept both on the surface and inside. In a few decades, most ordinary people will face technological black boxes, such as personal computers and mobile phones.

"I have an idea now, and the specific technical route is up to you to execute. However, I ask you in advance that the project you are currently involved in is the world's top technology, and it must be kept confidential.

It cannot be revealed to anyone except me.

Moreover, every subsequent experiment must have a complete experimental record.

Every shell you fired that didn't explode must be found for me. Even the 'corpse' of the fuse must be brought back to me!"

Yu Ye said very seriously.

"is teacher!"

Zhang Ying was shocked by Yu Ye's serious tone and stood up straight involuntarily.

"Zhang Ying, we are in the military now, and there is no joking in the military. If the secrets are really leaked, then I will have to punish you by military law.

Also, when working, you should address people by their job titles!"

"Yes, factory director!"

Zhang Ying's heart trembled, and he saluted Yu Ye with a snap.

At this juncture, the proximity fuze is still only a technology existing on British design drawings. They are unable to spare the manpower and financial resources to research this technology. They should hand over the design to the United States in the middle of 41. The United States spent a lot of time, manpower and material resources to develop the VT proximity fuze, which became a nightmare for the Japanese aircraft in the Pacific battlefield.

The United States also made a lot of money by selling VT proximity fuses, and its hands were tired from counting the money.

However, these old military and industrial powers in the world would never have imagined that in 41, in a previously unknown small county in northwestern Shanxi, China, Yu Ye was leading one of his students to charge towards this technology that would subvert the entire history of air combat.

After a year of precipitation, Yu Ye finally began to touch the most advanced technology of this era, and he once again stood at the forefront of the technology of the era.

No one knew all this except the master and his disciple.
