Artificial rainfall enhancement operations in China have appeared in the late 1950s, so the old factory director and others are no strangers to artificial rainfall enhancement operations. However, today’s artificial rainfall enhancement operations are almost all carried out using Laoyun-5, so everyone is not familiar with artificial rainfall enhancement operations. I have never heard of artificial rain-enhancing rockets.
"Artificial rain-increasing rockets? Is there such a thing in the world?"
"And fire bombs? We haven't even heard of them!"
Although the old factory director knew that Wang Ye had started "selling dog meat with sheep's heads" again, he knew that Wang Ye was not a fabricator, so the two things Wang Ye mentioned should indeed exist, but he did not have them. Heard it.
"Our country is lagging behind in this field. As far as I know, the Soviet Union had already started developing rain-enhancing rockets in the 1960s."
"Think about it, the normal rainfall enhancement operation is to use a transport plane to pull the rainfall agent and scatter it in the sky. Wouldn't it be the same if a rocket is used to directly hit the air and scatter it through an explosion?"
"After all, such a simple rocket only costs so much and is relatively easy to use. Transport aircraft are much more troublesome."
"As for the fire rockets, I figured it out myself."
"In recent years, we have seen news reports of wildfire outbreaks. Fighting fires is not only difficult but also dangerous for soldiers."
"If there could be a long-range fire extinguishing bomb that directly shoots fire extinguishing dry powder, wouldn't it be able to greatly reduce the risk, and also be the first to detect and extinguish the fire, prevent the fire from expanding, and greatly improve the fire extinguishing efficiency?"
Regarding Wang Ye's statement, the old factory director thought for a moment, nodded with excitement on his face and said:
"As expected of a college student from Huaqing! What he said makes sense."
"I think this rain-increasing rocket is also needed in China. If it can be equipped in the meteorological units of various cities and counties, as long as there is a lack of rainfall in the local area and the weather is suitable for artificial rainfall, wouldn't it be enough to just fire a few rounds?"
“There is no need to move planes, which is not only convenient but also low cost!”
"There is also a saying about this fire extinguishing bomb. In areas with many mountains and woods, forest farms should always have them on hand. If you find a fire point, hit it to prevent the fire from spreading!"
"Wang Ye, you are really awesome. This is a big deal that will benefit the country and the people!"
In the end, the old factory director became more and more excited as he talked and gave Wang Ye a thumbs up. Wang Ye was not polite about such praise. After all, the plans he came up with have become a reality decades later. Facts have proven that it does work!
After all, forty years later, China's meteorological department has an air defense force that can overwhelm most small and medium-sized countries in the world. It has seven to eight thousand anti-aircraft artillery pieces, tens of thousands of rocket launchers, and an inventory of at least 80,000 to 100,000 rockets. .
"That's what I thought too."
"So in the future, we can also switch from export to domestic sales!"
"Contact the weather and fire departments and ask them if they need our equipment."
Finally, Wang Ye made a final decision and said that after all, for a large agricultural country like China, there is nothing wrong with developing artificial rainfall enhancement technology and equipment. After all, the most significant feature of agriculture is its reliance on the weather, and the development of science and technology is constantly fighting against this feature.
As for what Wang Ye said about exporting to domestic sales, it has also been a popular term in the past two years. Because the country is vigorously promoting the task of earning foreign exchange, many state-owned factories have made foreign exchange hastily or blindly, resulting in export goods being returned due to quality problems, or the transaction process Due to contract and financial issues, there are situations where goods cannot be sold.
And under such circumstances, these products cannot be wasted and should be sold domestically.
And because the quality of goods currently used for export is generally very reliable, products that are exported and sold domestically have become very popular, and many people are rushing to buy them.
"Okay, okay!"
In the end, the old factory director said three words in a row, took out his reading glasses from his pocket with one arm, put them on and looked at Wang Ye's sketch carefully. Although it was just a sketch this time, the overall picture was quite detailed and detailed. clear.
"The caliber is one hundred and twenty millimeters, which is not small!"
"Two meters in length? There are forty launchers, twenty launchers, six-tube launchers, huh?"
"Why is there still a single-tube launcher?"
Hearing the old factory director's mumbling voice, Wang Ye explained with a smile:
"You also know that we have all kinds of customers. Those who have money can naturally use a multi-tube one, but those who don't have money can use a single tube?"
"Besides, it doesn't matter if it's a single-tube one. It's convenient to just run away after the fight!"
Just as Wang Ye finished speaking, the production section chief beside him couldn't help but sigh and said:
"The little factory director is still thoughtful!"
The technical section chief was also staring at the sketch drawn by Wang Ye. Finally, he couldn't help but shook his head and said:
"Little factory director, these rockets are no better than the gas tanks we produced before."
"The gas tank is just a pressure vessel. It mainly relies on stamping and welding. It has less propellant and a shorter burning time. But this rocket has a longer propulsion time and needs to use a large-diameter seamless steel pipe!"
"If welded, the concentricity may be difficult to guarantee, and high-temperature sealing is also a problem."
"The current equipment in our factory is difficult!"
Wang Ye had already thought of the question raised by the technical section chief. He smiled and pointed in a direction and said:
"We can't handle it, but the Laiyang Steel Plant next door is fine!"
"The seamless steel pipe for the shell is ordered directly from them, and we make the other parts ourselves. It saves trouble, right?"
"Besides, I heard that they are already drinking from the northwest wind. If you don't look up, you won't see them when you look down."
"We also take care of their business!"
As soon as these words came out, the six giants of the machinery factory present were stunned. They never thought that they could still play like this, and that they could actually find other factories to do OEM work?
Finally, the finance section chief hesitated and said:
"But what should we say if we ask them to produce it?"
"Can they guess what we are producing?"
"Will this take away our business?"
Hearing the words of the Finance Section Chief, Wang Ye couldn't help but laugh, waved his hand and said:
"Chief Su, just put your heart back in your stomach."
"When the time comes, we go shopping and tell them that we are going to build a stove and ask them to produce matching stove tubes. If they can guess it, I will twist my head off!"
"Besides, what if they guessed it? If they have the ability, they can sell it themselves."
"The earth is so big anyway, why are we still afraid of them taking away our business?"
Although the reason for using seamless steel pipes to make the furnace tube is already quite outrageous, the finance section chief had to admit that what Wang Ye said made sense. He waved his hand with a smile and said:
"My layout is too small, please forgive me, little factory director!"
Finally, Wang Ye glanced around at the six giants of the machinery factory present and said:
"In that case, let's make a deal."
"I'll go to the station tomorrow to offer my condolences. When I get back, I'll perfect the drawings and then start the project!"
"The man from Changshan Advanced Army Academy will be returning to China in a few months. We have to finalize this order before he returns!"
