Chapter 172 "Autumn Sowing Plan"

The meeting lasted for a long time, and for the sake of confidentiality, no one could leave the guest house.And a lot of people were arranged inside and outside the house to prevent someone from eavesdropping or passing on messages.Jiang Chen and the others basically lived and ate in the hostel for the rest of the time, and they couldn't even step out of the house.A group of people are in meetings besides meetings, and the small meeting room that has been built all day is always filled with smoke.Everyone proposed a plan, which was rejected immediately afterward. After three days and three nights of tossing around like this, they finally formulated a plan of action, and the task code name was 'Autumn Sowing Plan'.

In fact, this code name has been mentioned a lot, such as "Tianlei Project", "Hailstorm Project", "Dragon King Project" and so on. In the end, Jiang Chen proposed the "Autumn Sowing Project", which was unanimously approved by everyone. .It not only vividly represents the characteristics of the task, but also perfectly guarantees the very important confidential work.The so-called autumn sowing is actually autumn sowing. This time happens to be autumn, just in time.What is sown is the seed, because he, like a mine, is meant to be in the soil.Then it takes root and sprouts and then blooms. The flowering here has two meanings. One is flowering and explosion, because everyone knows that our ancient cannonballs that can be exploded are called flowering bombs.This two is because it can blossom and bear fruit, so as to bring them good results.

The plan was made, and the implementation began below.There is also a problem with this. Everyone has heard of cluster bombs, and we have also tried to produce them, but how can we manufacture this cluster bomb? This is a problem.There are many proposals from various individuals and organizations, but Jiang Chen has few of them.Nothing to do, as Jiang Chen, who is in charge of the technical aspects of the project, should take on the heavy responsibility of manufacturing and R&D.Although they have a lot of plans, they are all complicated and not suitable for use in this tropical jungle, so Jiang Chen's request is to simplify the mechanism as much as possible.Because when your structure is simple, your failure rate will be reduced.Moreover, it can work for a long time, and has achieved the strategic goal of paralyzing the communication lines behind the enemy's rear for a long time.

Among the many plans, there was a small factory plan that caught Jiang Chen's eyes.That is to use the timing device to make these small landmines start the timing device after being spilled in the parent bomb.After the bomb falls to the ground, the timing device stops or the time is up, and the safety of the trigger device on the mine is opened to complete the excitation standby work.Originally, this small factory planned to use more complex calculation tools such as clocks or hourglasses, but Jiang Chen vetoed these. He directly took out a wind-up frog (one of my childhood toys) from his pocket. , this is one of the representative objects at that time) placed in front of everyone.Everyone was a technician, and they knew what Jiang Chen was referring to, so they all geared up and got excited.

In order to ensure the reliability of these small landmines, they cannot be put directly into the battlefield.Jiang Chen and the others have to do a lot of experiments in the early stage to ensure that these devices can work normally.At the beginning they were thrown up and down several layers to test the reliability of the device.When this reached a certain standard, Jiang Chen and the others began to carry out the next step of experimental work.Because it is a device, it also has a failure rate, which is unavoidable. It may be that a small accidental change may cause the device to stop working.So since it cannot be avoided, let it be within an acceptable range, such as a one percent probability.

The next step is to carry out the live ammunition delivery experiment, which is also the last step of inspection. If it is suitable, it can be mass-produced according to the standard.Of course, this live ammunition test is not all live ammunition. No one wants to sprinkle a minefield on our territory, so these mines have no charge, only the trigger device is real.

For this experiment, Jiang Chen and the others specially transferred a family of Qiang Wu from the Air Force. They carried a cluster-type landmine bomb that Jiang Chen and the others developed for the experiment and took off. Ten minutes later, the plane dropped the bomb at the planned height.Of course, this altitude is still very high. Considering the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower, the Air Force requires that this altitude must be avoided to drop bombs. In 10 minute, the small mines of these cluster bombs are evenly scattered in the preset area.Then Jiang Chen immediately took people to check the early stage, and the results disappointed Jiang Chen and the others, that is, the successful ignition rate of these landmines was too low, and not one of the ten mines was good, which made everyone very frustrated.

However, Commissar Shi is a veteran of ideological work. When he learned that Jiang Chen and the others had failed in the experiment, he did not reprimand him, but brought many condolences to comfort everyone.After political commissar Shi did the ideological work, everyone began to cheer up and find out the reason.Finally, Huang Tian paid off, Jiang Chen and the others found the cause of the malfunction of the device.There is nothing wrong with the device itself, but there is a problem when it is thrown from a high altitude.Because of the high distance and the acceleration due to gravity, the force that causes the device to touch the ground is very large.

At the beginning, Jiang Chen's design was to use this power to bury these devices under the soil, so as to play a concealed role and increase the time for the enemy to search and clear mines.But Jiang Chen and the others made a mistake in their calculations, because under the impact of such a large force, the device itself would be damaged, so it couldn't work normally.After finding out the reason, Jiang Chen and the others quickly found a solution.

What, that is to add a small parachute to these small devices (landmines) thrown out to reduce the falling speed of the device.Although they couldn't hide by digging into the ground, Jiang Chen and the others also found a solution.That is to make the materials of these parachutes with paper that can be dissolved by rainwater. When these parachutes land, they can be melted in natural rainwater or artificial rainfall, and these thin wires used to connect the parachute and the device are also Naturally, it became a tripwire, increasing the chance of triggering the device.And because the soil in the jungle is very soft and the vegetation has more fallen leaves, these devices will be hidden after the rain, so that they will not be easily found and removed by the enemy.

After several experiments, Jiang Chen and the others finally succeeded.Moreover, in the final experiment, the leaders of Qianzhi also conducted a field inspection, and they were very satisfied with the results of this experiment.So we started to make a decision to end the preparatory work and formally implement the "autumn sowing plan".

The wait is about late November, so the required cluster-spray landmines have been expeditedly produced in various factories across the country, and then quietly transported to the airport for secret storage.Various types of planes secretly transferred from all over the country are already on standby at the nearest airports, just in case the dry ice rockets have arrived at the front line, waiting for the best time to come.
