Liguschkov smiled and took out his experimental plan and spread the prepared map on his desk.
Yang Mingzhi leaned over and saw that this was a simple regional map.
"We set up the launcher at this point outside the blacksmith village, aimed at Homnich's position, and launched four bombs at different angles. In this way, we can get four explosions, and then use these bombs to
Point the distance to the launch position and you can calculate the ballistic trajectory."
"Moreover! We can also use linear programming to calculate the shooting angle to achieve the best trajectory." Yang Mingzhi finished for him.
"Yes, this experiment is very simple and it won't cause any trouble tomorrow."
Yang Mingzhi nodded and continued to ask: "So, why did you choose to use Homnich as a reference?"
"Because it's easy to calculate! Comrade Commander, the road between us and the Homnich Military Station has been built."
“The road is really open?!”
Since Yang Mingzhi no longer has to be responsible for the political affairs of Novgomel, a large number of miscellaneous matters have been handed over to Lyudbalev. The soldiers are only responsible for the military. Just like the black pottery water cup on the table, Yang Mingzhi does not know.
He didn't even know that a dirt road from Blacksmith Village to Homnich Military Station was now open to traffic. It was a rather winding dirt road. Considering that the enemy might easily attack along this road, it was deliberately built to be winding and uneven.
The ground was filled with a large number of wooden blocks. As the climate became warmer, many sections of the road were still flooded by overflowing water, so workers had to fill in more logs to cover it.
The original intention of building the road was for no other reason. Now the ruins of Homnich have been given a new lease of life. There are a large number of metal blocks buried on the surface of the land. They are the raw materials for weapons. A stable transportation line is very important to transport the materials back to the blacksmith village and re-melt them.
Therefore, the Novgomel Municipal Committee also did a simple survey and calculated the true straight-line distance from Blacksmith Village to Homnich - 41.9 kilometers.
There was no good way to search for iron pieces in the soil. The villagers who mobilized could only filter the soil with screens made of wires. Some villagers also brought hammers and relentlessly pounded the foundations of the ruins, trying to remove the deep steel bars of the buildings.
Knock it out.
When the Soviet Union was building the small city of Homnich (a small town by Chinese standards), it abandoned the wooden buildings that the people loved and used a large amount of reinforced concrete. This symbolized modernization and was also viewed by the Gomel authorities.
Doing is a symbol of the superiority of socialism.
In this matter, Novgomel Mayor Lyudbarev had the absolute say. He was the one who issued the order to renovate the city, and he also made some suggestions when excavating the ruins.
At this moment, more than a thousand villagers built settlements in the forest outside Homnich due to the need for excavation. They and the remaining troops built military depots and also built a large warehouse.
The villagers also wanted to take advantage of the favorable climate and plant potatoes in the open areas of the ruins. Unfortunately, the land was damaged by bombings and the land polluted by gunfire and smoke made people feel uneasy.
They still cultivated some land on the edge of the forest and sowed roots, and many people chose to settle here - after all, the current population of Blacksmith Village is already equivalent to that of Homnage before the war!
When the metal blocks are collected to a certain weight, they are loaded onto the carriage and transported to the blacksmith village by dedicated personnel.
This kind of transportation usually takes two days, because even if a relatively stable road is built, the route to the blacksmith village is not 41.9 kilometers.
The municipal party committee arranged manpower to conduct precise surveying and mapping of the roads in the three collective farms, the hot spring area, and the Homnich Military Station. Each surveying team used a 100-meter-long hemp rope in their hands to measure the roads before they were even 100 meters long.
A low wooden stake is erected on the side. When ten hundred meters have been measured, a taller stake is erected and a sign is nailed to the top. This is the milestone.
This work was relatively lagging behind. When Yang Mingzhi returned from the expedition, the work was nearing completion.
Milestones show that it is 82 kilometers from Homnage to the Blacksmith Village. This road perfectly avoids ponds and a large number of mud ponds. If it is winter and the ponds are frozen, the carriage can move in a straight line. No one accepts repairs at the moment
During this tortuous journey, the horse-drawn carriages transporting supplies had to set up tents to rest along the way.
Based on these display factors, Liguschkov perfectly explained why he did this.
"In the files of the Municipal Party Committee, the road milestones are marked on the map of their survey team. The rocket launchers were fired towards Homnich. We used this map. After determining the blast point, we fired towards the nearest road milestone.
Just draw a line and you can accurately calculate the straight-line distance!”
"So that's it!" Yang Mingzhi was not too excited. He clearly realized that Liguschkov's method required some complicated mathematical calculations. Fortunately, he did not need to send someone to measure it in person, as long as he started from
Just do some calculations using existing data in the database.
He was sincerely pleased: "Well done, we will start tomorrow!"
…
The time for the rocket launcher experiment was set relatively early. Liguschkov made a plan to launch the first rocket around nine o'clock in the morning.
Before that, he and his men in the arsenal must first move the four bombs, together with the orbital frame for launching the rocket launcher, to the northernmost predetermined position in the Blacksmith Village.
I was really busy today, and I had a great time chatting with that guy in the evening!
Yang Mingzhi dragged his exhausted body out of the door of Liguschkov's office, and in a slightly haggard tone, he greeted several of his guards who were squatting on the ground and gathering to smoke.
The guards headed by Abram were startled. They threw away their cigarette butts and stamped on them, standing in a row like straight pine trees.
The scene was a bit awkward, Yang Mingzhi waved his hand gently: "It's already very late, let's disband! Have a good sleep tonight, we have big things to do tomorrow!"
"A big thing? What big thing?" Abram noticed the officer's fatigue and said with concern: "Sir! You are busy with official work, so I'd better stay with you for a while!"
"That's okay! That's okay!" Yang Mingzhi sighed, "Let's go, come with me to the headquarters."
The moonlight tonight is also very good. There are a little more clouds in the sky, which can occasionally block the moonlight. The stars are bright in the sky, and occasionally there is a streak of shooting stars.
After a busy day, most of the villagers involved in digging potatoes have long since fallen asleep, but Novgomel's government district is in full swing, as are all the warehouses.
The telegrams were like machine guns. They were all plain language reports from each warehouse. The warehouse seemed not to plan to count a part of the harvest and report again. They simply reported the harvest of each production group separately, so the work was busy.
When Yang Mingzhi came to the headquarters, there were still a few old guys sitting here.
Yevlov and Fomin gathered together to drink, and he even dragged Yelentina over. The woman was obviously very excited about drinking, and the headquarters office was filled with endless sounds of women.
"Hey! Comrades, our general is back..." Following Yevlov's teasing, Yang Mingzhi joined the "drinking party".
