229 Depleted uranium armor and depleted uranium bombs 130
readx;
The engine has always been a flaw in the Republic, and no one can change it.
In the early 1960s, after several five-year construction plans, the Republic initially completed domestic industrialization, and then began a decade-long turmoil, which did not end until more than a year ago. It can be said that the Republic's national defense science and technology system had just begun in this era.
In the initial stage, what can be done?
Everything has to be done by yourself, and any kind of equipment involves many related industries. Just like Liu Yijiu wants to improve tank gun steel, materials, smelting, mining and other problems, they have to be solved.
Who can avoid headaches when thinking of such a thing?
Zheng Hao had a headache because these all require money.
Their Ninth Courtyard now has only 57 million yuan on hand, which is a huge sum of money in this era, but the things they want to make are just a drop in the bucket. Now, if they want to develop, the other supporting factories must have new products that adapt to the market and have very good sales channels. To get new products, they must have technical research and development and necessary equipment transformation!
Therefore, they should not expect to rely on the 30 million yuan allocated by superiors.
If you cannot get the money in a short period of time, everything will have to stop after spending the 27 million yuan in the Ninth Court, and the staff’s salary will not be paid.
"Xiao Liu, our base is now pressing everything on your plan!" Zheng Hao said to Liu Yijiu with a sad face as he walked inside the base.
Liu Yijiu shrugged and spread her hands.
He is not omnipotent either.
This situation was something he had not expected.
And now, the only thing they can do is to do their best to change this situation.
"By the way, Uncle Wang, when I first arrived at the base, I heard that we had turbocharged engines from France. Where are those things now? We can measure them. At least, there is a clear direction for our engine development..." The engine is a big problem, and we must start now.
Whether he wants to get a motorcycle, a car or a military vehicle, he must start with the engine. Even if they want to build a helicopter, they must have an engine that matches it. The dismount of the Z-7 has a lot to do with the engine instability.
Infantry fighting vehicles and tank chassis can be slowed down temporarily. As long as the engine is ready, the others will be easier.
"That? I'm still studying in the first area. These engines are just the engines of civilian cars, so we don't need them very much..." Wang Shunyi didn't expect that Liu Yijiu still remembers the engine he made at the time.
Most of the engines were sent to the underground floor inside the base.
"Okay, I'll discuss the improvement plan for the Wujiu Tank with District 5 first. I just don't know how this thing can have done the Monkey T72..." Liu Yijiu had a headache. It would be a very headache to kill Monkey T72, no matter how Wujiu changed it.
"If Wujiu's engine is not replaced, the armor cannot be increased too much. Unless we can produce more advanced and more defensive armor, it can only increase the attack power. The 100mm caliber cannon is not small in the same type, but it is obviously not enough for the new generation of tanks in countries such as the Soviet Union and the United States..." Wang Shunyi reminded Liu Yijiu.
Liu Yijiu nodded.
"In other words, we have to get more powerful shells?" Zheng Hao screamed in pain when he heard this.
There must be a new project!
Ammunition is just a huge pit, and it doesn’t necessarily work out if it is filled in at any cost.
"The ammunition must be improved, especially the armor-piercing bombs..." Liu Yijiu nodded. "Have there been uranium ore reserved in the base that extracts nuclear raw materials?"
The tail wing stabilized shell-piercing armor-piercing bomb is a must-have. If there is no way, you can only get the depleted uranium bomb first.
This kind of thing is the nemesis of the third-generation tank in the early days and is basically undefensible.
"Uranium 238?" Wang Shunyi immediately asked Liu Yijiu in surprise.
This is what is left after refining uranium 235, and now I don’t know what it is for. Only seven of every thousand uranium atoms are uranium 235, and the rest are uranium 238.
The content of about 99.27% uranium-238 is depleted uranium, which is the waste that extracts nuclear raw materials.
There is no research on this depleted uranium in China.
"Yes, it's this kind of waste. If there is a purification, it's best to use it to make depleted uranium alloys and then make depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs..." Liu Yijiu's words frightened Wang Shunyi.
When Zheng Hao heard this, his eyes were lit up, and he was a single soldier's nuclear weapon!
He couldn't tell the difference between uranium 235 and uranium 238, and did not know that uranium 238 has very little reflectivity.
"This is good, no matter how much money we have, we have to do it. It's true that he is Mr. Qian's favorite student! Xiao Liu, you should have proposed to do this long ago. If our soldiers carry a small nuclear bomb at that time, the whole world will tremble! Who dares to mess with us?" Zheng Hao said with a yearning look on his face, "Lao Wang, do we have these materials in our base? It seems that there are researchers in this field? Hurry up and give it to Xiao Liu, damn it, I am very excited when I think of this..."
Hearing Zheng Hao's yy, Liu Yijiu quickly took a step away, as if I didn't recognize him.
Wang Shunyi was also amused and cryed by him.
If this guy wants to install a 155-caliber heavy artillery on the 59th tank, how big is this brain-making idea to come up with such a whimsical solution?
This is the case now. Does he think that uranium can become the raw material for nuclear?
Didn’t he know that it was even more difficult to refine weapon-level nuclear raw materials?
"Is there something wrong?" Zheng Hao saw the two of them look weird and immediately knew that there must be something wrong with them.
"Director Zheng, don't you know that uranium 238 is called depleted uranium? This substance is not very radioactive. Uranium 238 is the most common type of uranium. It is not a practical nuclear fuel. Although it can also fission under the action of neutrons. Only fast neutrons can do this. Those uranium 238 that split in half will produce some slow neutrons, and slow neutrons are not enough to cause further fission. Uranium 238 can be compared to wet wood: you can burn it, but it will still be extinguished in the end." Liu Yijiu said speechlessly.
It's terrible to be uneducated.
This sentence was confirmed again.
"Of course, it's not that this thing is useless. If you add this thing to the alloy, it will make the alloy have a stronger height. We can use it as the composite armor layer of our tank. At the same time, if fast neutrons are used to hit uranium 238, uranium 238 will not fission after absorbing this fast neutron, but it will change and become plutonium 239. This is another very practical nuclear raw material, and this method is very easy to implement..."
Zheng Hao was confused by Liu Yijiu's words. He didn't understand what he was saying.
Anyway, he understood that even if this kind of thing was made, it would not have the power of an atomic bomb.
"You'd better not popularize these things for me. You are Mr. Qian's favorite student. I know these very well. I'm not a physicist..." Zheng Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Since it's not very useful, why are we studying this? Comrade Liu. You know our current tight funding situation..."
Now it was Wang Shunyi and Liu Yijiu's turn to roll their eyes.
This guy is simply a typical pragmatist. If you tell him that this thing is made, it is an atomic bomb. The equivalent is not large enough. The grenade is called a nuclear grenade, or even a nuclear bullet. I don’t know if he will agree without principle...
"Is this the latest research result between Professor Qian and Professor Zhu?" Wang Shunyi asked Liu Yijiu.
He didn't know much about this, but he also knew some basic common sense.
Liu Yijiu nodded and didn't say anything. Who knows these things? Anyway, this body is really good. With such an amazing teacher as a shield for him, otherwise he would have to be arrested by Mr. Qian and others for research.
The alien legends in this world have never been broken.
Many of the American Imperial technology are said to have originated from aliens, and until their time, they were not decrypted.
However, many senior U.S. officials have come forward to say some ambiguous words after retirement...
"Depleted uranium can greatly improve the armor-piercing strength or armor resistance. The depleted uranium bomb has a high-temperature burning effect of 3,000 degrees Celsius after hitting the target..." Liu Yijiu just said this result, and did not say anything else.
Wang Shunyi and the others thought it was because of confidentiality, so they didn't ask him anything.
If this is true, they can completely let the project team at the most central location of the base be responsible for researching this.
"How to do depleted uranium alloy? Tell me the test method and the results that can be achieved. I will arrange for someone to make this. Although uranium 238 does not have the radioactivity of uranium 235, it is still relatively strong. Don't make this..." Wang Shunyi couldn't tell Liu Yijiu all the secrets in this base now.
"Is it the research institution below?" Liu Yijiu was shocked.
He has always not known why the base is called the Ninth Academy Base. Is it really related to the Ninth Academy that is engaged in nuclear weapons research?
There is only one that Republic studies nuclear weapons, and there is no semicolon!
But that unit does not belong to the Fifth Department of Machinery, nor to the Third Department of Machinery. It has always been!
"What's the base below? Isn't there a nuclear power plant inside our base? Of course, there are technical and technical personnel backups in this area..." Wang Shunyi quickly blocked Liu Yijiu's words. (To be continued~^~)
ps: Kowtow, thank you for the generous gift of Crazy Little Pig 2 Big 100,000 coins. Originally, it was said that the leader would add all the five updates the next day, and it was estimated that there would be no seven updates tomorrow. Today I hung up twice in a row, and my head was like a ball of paste. I kept writing it since less than six o'clock. This chapter took three hours to write it out. Tomorrow, I can only look at my physical condition. If it works, the gourd will be released. If it doesn't work, I can only add the updates twice. Brothers, don't wait. If you can code another chapter tonight, it will be updated tomorrow. However, depending on the current situation, it is really a bit unstoppable. Because Zhigong has to update one chapter! Sorry, brothers!
Chapter completed!
