Chapter 1372 Prepare to enter the depths of the shooting range
"Xiao Jiang, are you going to test this gliding guided bomb today?" Deputy Chief Zhao asked immediately after the applause.

Looking at Vice Minister Zhao's appearance, Jiang Chen couldn't help but tremble, asking what the old man was thinking.However, seeing everyone's questioning eyes, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "There are two finished products, but it depends on the next test arrangement. It is not certain whether the test will be carried out today."

"It's all here, and you're going to let us have a good time at once. Besides, it's still early, so we can make it in time." Deputy Chief Zhao hurriedly said.

As for Jiang Chen, he looked warily at Deputy Chief Zhao, then shook his head and said, "You and everyone else are aware of this test. It's not just a matter of just hitting the target. It requires a lot of preparation in advance. In addition, this missile and bomb are expensive, so we can't just listen to the sound."

"Well, that's true." Director Song nodded and said, "In this regard, you decide for yourself, and we will not intervene. Just do what you want, and we only come here with eyes."

Jiang Chen glanced at Mr. Zhao, then nodded at Director Song and said, "That's fine, then we will make arrangements according to the work plan. Don't worry, we will try our best to hurry up and try to test more today."

Immediately, Jiang Chen walked towards Chang Qing and the others, and began to discuss the next arrangement.

"Are the guided bombs installed?" Jiang Chen asked Chang Qing.

Chang Qing nodded and said, "Hongyan No. [-] has just received news that several guided bombs have been mounted and can take off at any time."

Well, Jiang Chen thought for a while, and then said to Chang Qing: "Arrange it, let the ground crew hang a gliding guided bomb on it."

"Ah, Mr. Jiang, should you think about it again? These bombs are the first live ammunition test, and the risk is extremely high. Besides, you and the leaders are here. If something goes wrong, that's terrible." What should I do?" Chang Qing quickly persuaded.

Jiang Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have great confidence in our scientific research team. Besides, the whole test field is so big, and we are in a marginal area, so there will be no problems. And for us, the most risky It's not an aspect test, but a combination test later on. Let's just leave it at that, I will ask them all to go before the combination test."

"But, but,,," Chang Qing still hesitated.

Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Okay, don't let it go, hurry up and execute it."

"Yes!" Chang Qing finally nodded in agreement, and then said to Jiang Chen, "If this is the case, then we still need to prepare. If this is the case, I'm afraid you and the chiefs will have to wait."

Jiang Chen looked at the time, and then said to Chang Qing: "It's almost noon, so let's get someone to bring the food over first, let everyone eat first. After eating, take a rest, if this is the case, there should be enough time for preparation gone."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now." Chang Qing immediately went to make arrangements, and Jiang Chen came back and explained to Director Song and Deputy Chief Zhao.Everyone understood this very well, and they all said that it was nothing, just follow what Jiang Chen and the others said, and they obeyed the arrangement.In this way, during the period before the meal, everyone can move freely.Doing this is also to let them understand this place better, which can be regarded as Jiang Chen's previous promise to be open enough to them.

Originally, Jiang Chen wanted to use this period of time to let everyone take a look and learn more about the situation of this observatory.But I didn't expect that Deputy Chief Zhao and Director Song didn't know what they were thinking, and they suddenly became interested and wanted to go to the shooting range for a while.By the way, let's take a look at the damage of the target in the test just now.As for this, Jiang Chen felt a headache.Because basically all test ranges do not allow outsiders to enter, and even for insiders to enter, a lot of preparations have been done.The reason for this is because of the particularity of the shooting range.

On the one hand, it is to prevent possible sudden attacks. This is mainly due to the lack of communication between the shooting range and the testing unit or information differences, so this result occurs.In addition, this kind of live ammunition range is often the first choice for some aircraft or pilots to deal with air crises.Because everyone knows that there are no people in this kind of shooting range, so there will be no accidental injury to ground personnel.In the air, aircraft often have some dangerous situations, or other problems.For example, the discarding of external auxiliary fuel tanks, troubleshooting of certain mounted weapons, and so on.And in this way, people who go deep into the shooting range will face the danger of falling objects from the sky at any time.Moreover, such examples are not without exception, and there are many, and they are all very tragic.

On the other hand, that is the danger contained in the shooting range.This kind of danger is also ubiquitous, and the biggest source of danger should be the unexploded ordnance left in the shooting range.Since it is a testing ground, a lot of ammunition will be tested, and there will inevitably be some defective or failed products.Under normal circumstances, this unexploded ammunition will be excluded and recovered in time.However, in a few cases, these ammunition were not successfully found or excluded, and thus left in the shooting range.And these ammunition is sub-flammable due to various reasons, so the interior is extremely unstable. It may be high temperature, it may be the vibration when the vehicle is driving or when people walk, it may be some radio waves, or some metals (electrical currents) on people. Magnetic induction) may cause the explosion of these ammunition, so it is very dangerous.

Of course, since this shooting range has just been opened, it is said that such a result will not happen, but Jiang Chen is still a little scared.Because the predecessor of this shooting range was actually a live ammunition training range of a certain unit in the Northwest Theater before the disarmament, it is inevitable that there will be some omissions or potential dangers.And Jiang Chen also heard the news at the beginning, so he planned to investigate to see if this place is suitable for building a testing ground.After all, if it can be used as a live ammunition training ground for a certain army, then the situation is generally not too bad, so after some investigation, Jiang Chen finally decided to build the test range here.

Of course, in addition to these, it is actually more extensive and potentially dangerous, but the shrapnel produced by those explosions.These shrapnel are basically everywhere, and they are hard to find, and they are very sharp.Whether people or vehicles enter, people are likely to be stabbed or cut by these debris.And the vehicle is likely to blow out tires or scratch the fuel tank and brake system, resulting in dangers such as rollover or brake failure or even fire.

Although Jiang Chen told these things to the two of them, Director Song and Deputy Minister Zhao both smiled slightly and didn't care at all.Both of them were soldiers, and both had experienced big scenes, so they naturally dismissed this danger.Under the insistence of the two, Jiang Chen had no choice but to agree, so he immediately arranged a vehicle to accompany everyone into the shooting range.Jiang Chen himself didn't need to go, but since Director Song, Vice Minister Zhao and quite a few people wanted to go in and have a look, then, as the highest person in charge here, he naturally couldn't back down.
