Guseva continued to explain that it turned out that it was not just the twenty women who were traveling to Novosibirsk.
A total of more than thirty graduates of the Mining University were officially assigned to work in Novosibirsk. After these people entered the city, they were further divided, and all the boys among them were assigned to the Liguschkov rocket launcher factory.
Yang Mingzhi asked: "Why is this happening? Does the factory director only want boys and is biased against you? This Liguschkov..."
"That's not the case. Everything is arranged by superiors."
"Is this really the case? Since you are all talents trained by the alliance who know how to build aircraft, maybe you will still be inferior to your talents when you come to me."
How should Guseva understand the director's words? She stood up suddenly and solemnly stated: "Comrade director, we are very happy to be a member of the Pripyat Weapons Design Bureau, and we will work hard here. We are no better than our
Those male classmates are bad."
Her words represent the collective voice of all the female designers present. Their eyes are full of confidence and eagerness for work.
"Well, actually, the factory director and I are close comrades. If it weren't for the orders from their superiors, they would have been members of the design bureau. By working here, you will have many opportunities to meet your male classmates in the future.
"
Yang Mingzhi composed himself and continued to ask Gusheva: "Comrade, you are very confident in your abilities. If you are given a chance, can you make a glider model using wood and paper? So as to prove your own
ability."
"Of course!" As she spoke, Gusheva's body was already shaking a little. She turned around suddenly and introduced her classmates: "You see, many of them were actually in the glider club when they were in school.
Of course, that includes me. If you ask us to make a glider model, it is very easy. You may not believe it, but our graduation projects are almost all about making a model of an aircraft."
"You..." Yang Mingzhi slapped his forehead. He had no idea that the question he asked was so funny.
Yang Mingzhi calmed down and stopped talking about gliders.
If it's a glider, you can't build it with your own personal skills. After all, there are specialties in the industry.
"Well, since you have sufficient experience in manufacturing aircraft models, if you enlarge the aircraft model dozens of times, a real glider will be nothing more than that. It seems that your major is not as simple as building gliders, but related to various aircraft
aerodynamics?"
"Yes!" Gusheva affirmed, "There are also gyroplanes!" She was afraid that the director would not understand, so she fiddled with them in particular, "It is an aircraft that can take off and land vertically. Its advantage is that it does not require
A runway or an open space will do."
"I know it. Since all your male classmates are engaged in rocket launchers, you also have the ability in this area. If I give you some opportunities, can you do the same?"
"Yes! Of course!" Guseva said firmly on behalf of everyone.
"Very good. Your male classmate's new boss and I have jointly developed a rocket launcher with a long range and achieved certain success in actual combat. Now it has begun mass production. Our design bureau currently has two factories under it.
One of the factories will focus on the production of various types of light weapons, and the other factory has decided to produce individual heavy weapons.
What is an individual heavy weapon? The most important thing is an individual rocket launcher, which is also something I am proud of."
Having said this, Yang Mingzhi deliberately looked around, especially winking at Deputy Director Popov, who was doing his best to handle daily affairs.
"Old comrades and new comrades, you must understand one thing. Our Pripyat weapons design bureau was established in the Pripyat swamp. It was originally intended to provide equipment to the 284th Guards Division and other guerrillas.
We supply ammunition and new equipment. We have been proud of three key products for a long time. The first is the individual rocket-propelled grenade. The second is the recoilless rifle with separate gun and charge. The third is the "Catfish"
Direct-aimed individual rocket launcher.
Some of you old comrades have worked in the swamps for more than a year and have a full understanding of the combat life there. You are also the soul of the design bureau. Now I am very happy that the team has expanded to fifty people. We are in the new area.
In the new era, we must not forget our original intentions.
Our affiliated 834 factory will devote all its efforts to producing assault rifles and various light weapons in the gun family. These weapons are our fourth category of flagship products.
However, times have changed. We no longer need to allocate manpower and material resources to fully produce individual rocket-propelled grenades and recoilless rifles. We need to deeply explore the combat potential of individual rocket launchers.
Those of you who are old comrades know very well how I used the Catfish rocket launcher in the swamp.
Yes! It means loading it into the launch tube, aiming and shooting directly at the German tanks, ignoring their armor, and using a powerful explosion shock wave to directly shatter and blow up the entire tank.
In my opinion, it is the purest anti-tank weapon. As far as I know, in the entire alliance's arsenal and weapons design bureau, I am afraid that only a few people have this idea, and it is just an idea.
We are completely different, especially myself. I have used it in the war and achieved good results.
Please note that now I have a bold idea. I plan to make the rocket launcher controllable, so that after it is launched, it will change its flight direction according to our wishes until it accurately hits the German tank."
Everyone has been listening with interest, especially the old people in the team, who feel most gratified when recalling the past years of bitterness and enthusiasm.
Only Yang Mingzhi’s last words are: Can rocket launchers still have eyes? Can they fly after German tanks? This idea is simply a kind of science fiction.
The scene fell into awkward silence. Popov, who was very important in the crowd, asked: "Comrade Director, are you serious? Can a rocket launcher have eyes?"
"Of course! One day our soldiers only need to press the launch button, and a special rocket will fly out. The rest will be just soldiers holding telescopes to watch the fireworks after the enemy tank explodes in the distance. Do you think this is science fiction?
Story? Bah! Do you think people fifty years ago believed that people could fly like birds? Look at it now, the sky is already a battlefield.
So, as long as it is theoretically possible, we can realize it. As for the rocket launcher having eyes, do you think this is incredible? Maybe the Americans and British have already started to study it. How can we
behind.
However, our technology may be a little behind, but the principle is not complicated. In the final analysis, it is about the application of remote control technology, which can be wired remote control or wireless remote control.
This is a very simple matter. We install some special equipment inside the rocket launcher, such as installing a rudder on the rocket launcher's tail, or designing a vector engine that can adjust the direction of the nozzle. Wouldn't that be enough?!"
Many times technology has reached a sufficient level, but what is lacking is a smart idea.
Everyone present is a talent of the Soviet Union. How to install a rudder on a rocket launcher, a vector engine nozzle, and a remote control system? Each of them can be realized individually, and some of the technologies have been used in the military. What if they are integrated?!
Everyone, all the men, all the women, had this crazy idea in their mind that it was technically possible.
At this moment, Popov, who already understood what Yang Mingzhi meant, was trembling violently. He tried to stay calm and suppressed his trembling face: "Director...Comrade Director, it's like a remote-controlled car. Let's control the rocket?"
"Yes!" Yang Mingzhi replied calmly, "We don't use radios, we just use metal wires. We don't require particularly complicated wires, a metal wire is enough. You don't have to worry about it being burned by the flame from the nozzle, then
The flame cannot reach the heat of melting the metal wire, nor will it interfere with the transmission of electrical signals. You don’t have to worry about many things. I only plan that it can hit a target two thousand meters away, which is enough."
Yang Mingzhi suddenly turned his head seriously: "Comrade Popov."
"arrive!"
"After I finished my official business in Moscow, I have been thinking about it. I made the decision on the military train to develop remotely controlled rockets. This is a very important task for our design bureau in the future. Listen.
, my dear comrade, and all the comrades present.
We are going to make history. Our weapons design bureau will produce the first anti-tank missile in the history of the alliance. I have already thought of a nickname for it, which is called Hard Bass. The basic principles of it are these, you already understand.
But for the time being, I can't spare the time to develop this, but at least until November, we will definitely go all out to develop it.
Comrades, especially lesbians, please think more about the feasibility of this. When we start to develop it, I need your significant help. Especially you, Comrade Gusheva."
"Arrived!" Gusheva stood at attention again.
"I have a very good impression of you today, and now I appoint you as the supervisor of all girls."
"me?"
"What? Do you think you are incompetent?"
"No. I can! Thank you for your cultivation."
"That's it." Yang Mingzhi shrugged, "I hope that in your future work, you can become a leader in the research and development of individual rocket launchers."
Having said this, Yang Mingzhi took a deep breath. At the same time, Kalashnikov, who had been listening, had a layer of sweat on his back.
To be honest, the room was very warm due to the central heating. It was not because of this that Kaspersky sweated, but entirely because of Yang Mingzhi's series of lectures.
Kaoshi felt one thing deeply: the director was really a man of action, as if he wished he had 48 hours in a day.
A few days ago, the director mentioned the concept of guided rocket launchers for the first time at the dining table in Perm. He had just finished a long journey in just three days, and he didn't even rest for a second. He had already started arranging research and development matters for his subordinates.
.
No! Things are not that simple. In the future work, I am afraid that Comrade Director will have to formulate more research and development plans. The Director just mentioned rocket-propelled grenades and recoilless rifles. Those were things that the Director was once proud of. Could it be that he
Are you really willing to suspend it for practical reasons?
Certainly not.
As long as the director can find time, the pace of research and development will not stop.
At this moment, Kalashnikov is thinking about a lot of things, and his mentality has become complicated. By working and studying with a doer, his abilities will improve rapidly. The only bad thing is that he seems to be living on the battlefield every day.
We are in a very stressful and high-pressure state. This kind of fatigue can bring down many people!
Although we are very tired, we are all fighting for the Soviet motherland, which is a very glorious thing. Since all the young people present have a Lenin Communist Youth League badge on their chests, they have already faced the red flag and vowed to fight for the great cause all their lives.
, is there anything difficult that can be blocked?
Kalashnikov fell into deep thought until Yang Mingzhi called his name loudly.
"Hey! Comrade Mikhail Timofeevich Kalashnikov, come to me!"
A strange young boy stood next to Yang Mingzhi, and he was quite a little man.
The impression that Russian men give to the world is always that of a strong man covered with hair. If they live in good conditions when they are young, they will naturally grow into a strong man that even brown bears are afraid of.
However, the current Soviet people basically solved the problem of food and clothing before the war broke out. Because of the war, the already tense food problem became even more difficult.
Kalashnikov is less than 1.7 meters tall and is a very small man. The reason for this has a lot to do with his living environment when he was young.
Ka's parents gave birth to a total of eighteen children, and twelve of them died in infancy. His hometown is in southern Siberia, specifically in the southeast of Novosibirsk. Due to the poor living environment and lack of food, he
He doesn't look like a strong man.
It was also because he was a boy and was directly assigned to a tank crew after joining the army. In fact, the tank crews of the Soviet Army are now all made up of small men. This is not only true for the Soviet Army, but also for the German Army.
Kalashnikov is half a head shorter than Yang Mingzhi. Of course, height does not explain anything.
Kaschmann easily attracted special attention from those present. Why? Because he wore the Patriotic War Medal First Class on his chest, which was a commendation for his tank crew's meritorious service in battle.
There are also several medals in the design bureau, and they all have first-class guerrilla medals.
However, the only person present now who has the Patriotic War Medal, apart from Karasnik, is Yang Mingzhi himself.
"Comrades, please pay attention. This is Mikhail Timofeevich Kalashnikov. From now on, he will be your new comrade-in-arms."
As soon as Yang Mingzhi finished speaking, Mr. Ka immediately stood at attention and saluted everyone with a standard military salute.
Immediately afterwards, Kaspersky introduced his career in the military, as well as what national awards he had won in firearms research and development, and what kind of firearms he had developed.
Ka's introduction attracted everyone's attention, and the most sensitive ones were undoubtedly the men in the team. Although everyone is said to be "comrades in the trenches," it really doesn't make sense that there is no competition between them.
The fact that the director favored Dobroff has made many people jealous, especially the old people who had sufficient working experience in the swamp. Everyone is a college graduate, why does the director pay so much attention to the young Dobrov?
Where's Love?
Now another Kalashnikov has been killed who has never gone to college but graduated from the tenth grade. It is true that this man has participated in the war and made meritorious service. Are the others worse? We faced many encirclements and suppressions by the German army in the swamp.
He also encountered many German air raids and overcame hunger and severe cold. Why did the director suddenly favor this person again?
Soon, all the truth was revealed.
Everyone understands that there is indeed a reason why the director intends to reuse this Kalashnikov because he is the apprentice of Fedorov himself, a pioneer of automatic rifles who stood out during the Tsarist Russia era.
After hearing the truth, everyone was willing to accept such a low-educated man of action, and they had to admire the director again for actually recruiting Fedorov's students.
