In the field of artillery, an expert, or a genius, a lunatic, that must be mentioned, is Dr. Boole!
Dr. Boer has always been associated with the Super Cannon.
During World War II, super cannons appeared in Germany. The super cannon with extremely huge barrels is simply a super weapon that humans can make. After World War II, Dr. Boer was still obsessed with super cannons. He used two 420mm Navy doors.
The caliber naval gun was welded and expanded into a monster with a barrel of 424 mm. At the same time, the gun barrel was 36 meters long. In the initial experiment, the 90 kilogram shell was thrown into space 180 kilometers high. According to the test site, the gate was
The cannon is called the "Barbados" cannon.
This is just the initial development. For this super cannon, Dr. Boer has also developed a series of extended-range rockets. According to the design data, it can launch a 214 kilogram rocket extended-range warhead to 2,570 kilometers.
Outside the area, even after weight reduction, can be emitted to a vertical height of more than 250 kilometers.
What Dr. Boer, the artillery genius, really wants to do is to use super cannons to launch satellites and achieve a major breakthrough in using cannons to engage in space flight.
However, because this person's temper is a bit strange, genius, his temper is usually strange. In addition, the interest of the US side has shifted, Dr. Boer lost the opportunity to continue research and development. In order to raise enough funds, Dr. Boer also
The existing artillery has begun to be improved.
The GC45 155mm caliber cannon he designed and developed had its initial range of 40 kilometers. This huge performance improvement immediately triggered a 45-fold revolution of 155mm caliber cannon, the largest in half a century
After all, most of the 155mm howitzers at that time had a caliber of only 30 times, and their range could not reach 30 kilometers.
The new 155mm howitzer made by Dr. Boer immediately became a hot commodity in the international market. What is more beneficial is that all the technologies of this howitzer belong to Dr. Boer himself, and he can authorize others at will.
It will not be affected by various factors.
Dr. Boer authorized this technology to the United Steel Company in Austria. At that time, it happened to be the second machine factory inspecting it, and Xie Huimin had also met Dr. Boer.
Although the technology of this gun is advanced, its structure is too complex. Austria's United Iron and Steel Company began to improve. During this process, the Second Machine Factory also sent some designers to participate in the company in the name of learning and communication.
The GC-45 155mm howitzer is simplified in design work.
The project was carried out for several years until the simplified design work was completed in 1982. The new howitzer was named GHN-45. In the same year, the complete set of GC-45 type 45 times 155mm howitzer technical data was introduced in China, based on the simplification of mastery.
With work experience, the development of a new 155mm howitzer has also begun in China.
This work was kept confidential in the past few years, so even the one-machine factory in the brother unit was unknown. Until now, it was about to be a military parade project.
"The strongest thing about this cannon is the confident smoke exhaust technology. Using this technology, the shell can hit forty kilometers away. Dr. Boer is really amazing." Xie Huimin said.
"I really hope to meet such an artillery expert." Qin Zhenhua also sighed a little. Tanks and firepower are king, so he naturally has a very deep nature towards artillery.
"This is a chance. We sent an invitation to Dr. Boer, and he agreed. When it is convenient in the future, we will come to us for a speech and exchange activity." Xie Huimin said.
"Is that so good? That's great!" When talking about this, Qin Zhenhua suddenly became interested. At that time, he must participate.
"It should be a good idea for us to participate in the military parade. There is no choice for the tractor. At that time, your first-machine factory will have to refuel." Xie Huimin said.
There are also many military tractors in China. Not to mention the new style, the imported Steyr heavy trucks have this ability. I wonder if Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks from the first machine factory can catch up?
"Of course there is no problem." Qin Zhenhua said: "When the time comes, we will use our tractor. We agreed that when bidding for this project, we will tie together."
Xie Huimin shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, this is not possible!"
Although everyone has a good relationship, they cannot agree on this issue casually. After all, although the truck project of the first machine factory has been preparing for a long time, it will not be mass-produced until the end of this year at the earliest, and the initial assembly will be carried out.
Who knows if there is any problem with the product?
I don’t know whether their heavy trucks can participate in the military parade. At that time, don’t drag your side’s 155mm howitzer will lose this qualification. I will definitely not tie it with you!
Looking at Xie Huimin's firm attitude, Qin Zhenhua could only smile. Suddenly, a light of inspiration appeared in his mind and something happened.
"Uncle Xie, what if you move this 155mm howitzer to our truck?" Qin Zhenhua asked Xie Huimin.
Qin Zhenhua has a different name for Xie Huimin. When it is formal, he calls him Director Xie. It is said that he is about to become the factory director, so he calls him Director Xie. When he is hurt, he calls him Lao Xie. When he begs him, he will be
Calling him Uncle Xie is very versatile. Now he is called Uncle Xie again, so he is just making some ideas.
Xie Huimin scratched his head a little: "Take this howitzer to the truck?"
He obviously didn't understand what it was for. He just towed the cannon and did the traction. Is there any difference between being dragged on the truck and being dragged by the truck behind?
"Yes, this way you can make a simple truck cannon, which is flexible and low-cost, and is simply the best choice for the army. How about it? Do you have any ideas? Let's try it together?" Qin Zhenhua said to Xie Huimin.
Truck cannons? They are mobile and flexible, and cheap? These words went around Xie Huimin's mind for a few times before he realized: "You mean, are you a self-propelled cannon for truck chassis?"
"It's just barely true, but the tires must not be able to withstand the recoil of this kind of gun. It probably has to be equipped with a hydraulic top, but it's much better than traction artillery? After all, in the future, there is no ability to carry it on the battlefield.
Not OK!"
Qin Zhenhua was serious when he said this. Although the towing artillery was still equipped with a large amount of equipment in the army, in fact, this artillery was out of date and its survivability was very low on the modern battlefield.
