Deng Bo knew that the development of rapid-fire machine guns was of great importance, so after Xie Tian left by plane, he immediately returned to the arsenal and knocked on Xu Jinghao's door.
There may only be one or two seconds when aircraft have a chance to shoot down an enemy aircraft in an air battle, so how many bullets you can fire in these two seconds will become the key to determining victory or defeat.
The rapid-fire machine gun designed by Xu Jinghao based on the principles of the Gatling gun can fire 100 bullets per second at a theoretical rate of fire. It is basically tailor-made for aircraft air combat.
In fact, Xu Jinghao's original intention of developing this rapid-fire machine gun was because Xie Tian flew a plane every time he participated in the war. If Xie Tian's plane was equipped with this kind of rapid-fire machine gun, at least the safety factor would be guaranteed.
Deng Bo entered Xu Jinghao's room, took out the sketch drawn by Xie Tian from his pocket and handed it to Xu Jinghao, saying simply and directly: "The commander-in-chief drew it for your reference."
Since Xu Jinghao married Chu Yunfei, her studio has begun to become tidy. The books scattered everywhere have finally returned to the bookshelf, and the small bed for her temporary rest has also become clean and tidy. The most important thing is Fortunately, the window is open, allowing bright sunlight to shine into the house. The desk is moved to the window. Sitting behind the desk, you can look out at the scenery outside the window and enjoy the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
Xu Jinghao took the drawing from Uncle Deng's hand, glanced at it for a few times, then stood up and walked to the door: "Let's go to the factory."
Deng Bo smiled and shook his head slightly. He knew that the problem that troubled Xu Jinghao might have been solved. He could only sigh in his heart that the Commander-in-Chief is truly a god.
It seems that the arsenal is going to expand in size. There is no need to worry too much about this matter. The Commander-in-Chief and Director Pang have already promised to give people, money and land.
Apart from anything else, the wages of workers in the arsenal are the highest in Taiyuan, making those who work in the government and carry their bags to and from get off work envious and wish they could find a way to be transferred to work in the arsenal.
It is a pity that the workers in the arsenal are now only allocated from the army, and all employees in the arsenal are quasi-militarized. Those workers who have been in the bloody water several times can pick up weapons and go to the battlefield.
The problems Xu Jinghao encountered were not big ones. With Xie Tian's drawing, Xu Jinghao suddenly understood. He personally operated the machine tool to process several spare parts. A group of people carried the assembled rapid-fire machine gun onto the jeep and drove there. At the test firing range in the factory, Xu Jinghao took out a handkerchief, tied up her hair, and loaded the ammunition belt herself.
"Da da da da..." Almost in an instant, before anyone had time to blink, the concrete gasoline barrel on the shooting range had been beaten to pieces.
A chain of 500 bullets was fired in an instant, leaving only the echo of the gunshots and the sound of the six barrels of the rapid-fire machine gun turning at the test firing range.
This was already the second test firing, but people at the scene were still shocked and dumbfounded by the power of the high-speed machine gun.
The thickness of the cement in the gasoline barrel is 60 centimeters, and it was beaten to pieces in just one moment. If the enemy's permanent bunker was opposite, wouldn't it have also been smashed?
The rotation of the gun barrel finally stopped, and Xu Jinghao reached out to touch the barrel. Just as Deng Bo was about to remind him, Xu Jinghao's hand had already landed firmly on the barrel, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Uncle Deng couldn't believe it and reached out to touch the barrel of the gun. He looked at Xu Jinghao in surprise: "It's just warm."
Xu Jinghao chuckled: "The firing speed was too fast, and the gun barrel was fired before it could react. The high-speed rotation quickly cooled the barrel, so it is warm to the touch. Next, try burst shooting."
The burst firing of a high-speed machine gun can produce dozens of bullets with just one movement of the finger. The efficiency of this machine gun can match the firepower configuration of a standard infantry company of the People's Liberation Army.
The configuration of a standard infantry company of the People's Liberation Army is one heavy machine gun, nine light machine guns, 101 semi-automatic rifles, 12 short guns, mortar grenades, etc. The comparison now is firearms.
After test-firing two thousand rounds of ammunition, Xu Jinghao disassembled the rapid-fire machine gun into eight pieces on site and carefully checked the status of each component and wearing parts. She looked at Uncle Deng with a giggle and said, "Uncle Deng, it can be put into production. You tell me That bandit, tell him to fart quickly and hold it in until I see how I deal with him next time I see him."
Dumble laughed loudly: "You should tell him this yourself. I told you that I'm afraid he'll hit me with the sole of his big shoe."
Xu Jinghao giggled and jumped on the jeep: "He dares."
After that, he drove away in a hurry, leaving only a silver bell-like laughter all the way.
Deng Bo stared dumbfoundedly at Xu Jinghao's departure. He smiled bitterly, shook his head, and ordered to several workers and technicians: "Assemble these parts and let's go back. This girl is really proud of herself. All forgotten."
Returning to the workroom, Xu Jinghao grabbed the drawings on the desk and threw them aside and started to draw them again. Without the drawings, the workers could not produce according to the drawings. Unlike her, workers could not just have a concept in their heads and do it on the lathe. Accessories are processed.
This time, the thinking in their minds was clear. When Deng Bo and the others came back with the rapid-fire machine gun, Xu Jinghao had already drawn the drawings. When she saw Deng Bo, she complained: "Why did you take so long to come back? Here you go." ,drawing."
Xu Jinghao thrust a roll of blueprints into Uncle Deng's hands and walked away, leaving only Uncle Deng with a black hair and a few skilled workers.
Sister, the test firing range of the arsenal is three kilometers away from here. Okay, you drive the car away, and we have to walk back with the gun. There are also several boxes of bullets, which weigh dozens of kilograms. Okay.
Uncle Deng wordlessly unfolded the drawings that still smelled of ink, and was stunned when he saw the delicate handwriting on the front page.
XBQ-1 rapid-fire machine gun (Death Cannon), technical parameters: blah blah blah...
Uncle Deng looked at Xu Jinghao's back and tilted his head to think for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly.
The model of this rapid-fire machine gun, XBQ-1, should be the abbreviation of Xie Baoqing's name, right?
This girl, it's a pity that she has no connection with the Commander-in-Chief, otherwise the two of them would really be a match made in heaven, they are both strange people.
The XBQ-1 rapid-fire machine gun has been officially put into production. As long as the firearms and equipment are put on the production line, they can be made quickly. The promise Deng Bo made to Xie Tian to produce five rapid-fire machine guns within three days can be easily completed. It takes three days. In that time, he could even process thirty XBQ-1 rapid-fire machine guns for Xie Tian. However, this type of rapid-fire machine gun was only suitable for airborne use, and it would be useless for the time being if he made too many.
When the XBQ-1 type is expanded to a model that can be used by tanks and infantry, Xu Jinghao will need to design the XSQ-2 type and the XBQ-3 type. However, the core design has been completed, and the XBQ-2 type and XBQ-3 type will soon be available. Can be released.
Rapid-fire machine guns have long appeared in China. Zuo Zongtang set out with a coffin and a Gatling gun to quell the chaos. At that time, the Gatling rapid-fire machine gun, which could fire 600 rounds per minute, made great contributions to Zuo Zongtang's quelling the chaos. However, after this battle, even Zuo Zongtang, who strongly advocated the Westernization Movement, lamented that this rapid-fire machine gun could not be used.
That was just the original Gatling rapid-fire machine gun that fired 600 rounds per minute. The theoretical rate of fire of the Death Cannon developed by Xu Jinghao reached 6,000 rounds of 7.62 mm caliber bullets per minute. When the trigger was pulled, the gun fired from the muzzle. All that goes out is money.
That is to say, the rich man Xie Baoqing doesn't care about exchanging money for efficiency. If he tries another general, his heart will be pulled into his throat when the death cannon goes off.
