The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

There is no fireworks when an ordinary gunpowder weapon is detonated, no broken rocks when a shell is bombarded, just a dull explosion, and the hard stone wall sinks more than one meter deep. Although the edges are not uniform, the circular structure is It looks like it was roughly dug out with a chisel, and the part in the middle was smashed into thumb-sized uniform fragments by an invisible force, and was "sprayed" out of the hole under the push of the expansion, and the finely crushed stone powder filled the air one after another, followed by was quickly drawn away by the exhaust fan.

All the high-ranking officials present couldn't help inhaling in unison. This power can be compared with the main gun of a tank!Such penetrating and destructive abilities are only produced by using a lot of tubes?It's incredible!

Yoshio Nishina gave a slightly satisfied supplementary explanation: "This is the strike effect under the stable output power we have researched so far. If we have a little more time, we can increase the power several times, and the volume and power consumption of the launching mechanism will be large. The drop in magnitude, even being towed by a truck is achievable.”

General Sugiyama Moto stared at him with rounded eyes, and asked hurriedly, "Have you ever tried firing a cannon at an armored combat vehicle? What's the effect?"

Araki Sadao took the lead to answer: "It has been tested. At present, all the tank armor in the empire cannot stop the full blow of this weapon. Even the largest welded armor will be smashed by force. The structure directly paralyzes its combat effectiveness. If it is weaponized, it will become an important weapon for us to fight against the powerful tank troops of China!"

"Hey! Very good! We must speed up the research progress. The Imperial Army needs such a weapon to play a role!"

Sugiyama Yuan and even Prince Zairen couldn't help nodding to express their praise. In the past few years, they have been worried about the armored weapons on the national battlefield, from the small 37mm tank gun of the original light tank to the 35 years The 57mm tank gun, and then the recent 75mm tank gun, all kinds of tanks with increasing caliber and increasing tonnage have been pulled up, but without exception, there is no composite armor that can penetrate the "Cheetah" tank , Instead, more than 300 precious tanks were wiped out by accumulation again and again, within the army.There are already very bad rumors spreading, and the impact on morale is very great!

In order to deal with them, the Japanese army tried their best. The anti-tank gun and the first version of the German "Iron Fist" have been used. There is no way. Now, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun imported from Germany has been refitted and produced on a large scale. , respectively satisfying anti-aircraft and field anti-tank.Or it can be used directly on a heavy tank. If this thing doesn't work, should it be upgraded to a caliber of 105mm? !

What a frustrating and headache!If you really do that, it will be a huge challenge for Japan's technology and machinery manufacturing!According to estimates, if the 88mm main gun is replaced, the frontal armor will be increased to more than 100mm.Then the tank weighs at least 50 tons and 60 tons. If it is replaced with a 105mm main gun, it may weigh 100 tons!

Not to mention whether there is a big enough engine for such a big guy, the weight alone, transportation and use are big problems.As far as the battlefield situation in China is concerned, a 30-ton heavy tank is already the limit. Now, the tank equipped with the modified main gun of the Type 90 75mm field gun weighs tons, and the heavy tank is as high as 33 tons, which has reached the limit. To come up with such a big thing.If it is not done well, it will become a dead target that cannot be moved on the battlefield.

Just like the 96-type 150mm and 90-type 240mm heavy cannons being transported there, once these big guys are deployed, it will be very difficult to put them away, and they must be fully equipped with anti-aircraft firepower. The prospect of bombarding the enemy's huge and modern air-to-ground attack weapons and ultra-long-range train guns is worrying!

But now it is absolutely good news, look at Sadao Araki.It is clear that the power of this gun can be expected.

Seeing the excitement and admiration on their faces, Nishina Yoshio swallowed the words abruptly.In fact, he wanted to say that the reason why he can obtain such a large attack power today is due to the huge weapon shape and the continuous power supply. On the other hand, there is no exit, and the distance is less than 100 meters, which means that if you use this weapon to attack the enemy, you need to take a huge risk!

Araki Sadao himself is very aware of its problems, but he doesn't take it seriously. The Great Japanese Empire dare not say anything else, there is never a shortage of warriors who are not afraid of death, and there are as many as you want!As long as it can destroy Chinese tanks, any price is worth it!

Yoshio Nishina had to hold his nose and agree. Anyway, they just did their best to do it. The miniaturization and power multiplication of weapons have also entered the trial production stage. come out……?

A group of people surrounded the ultrasonic launcher and admired it. Sadao Araki proudly introduced in an expert tone: "After our new improved sonic cannon is completed, put it on a special tank with a huge armor thickness. , as long as the Chinese tanks dare to push in, they can definitely kill them with one blow!"

Then he waved his hand to Nishina Yoshio: "Come on, Mr. Director, hurry up and show our cutting-edge research results to the ministers, the means to win the empire is right in front of you!"

Yoshio Nishina hesitated for a moment, then murmured: "Yes, Your Excellency, but... the scene of the experiment will be very bloody and cruel. We are a little worried that it is not decent enough for the ministers..."

Araki Sadao waved his hand rudely: "Don't be wordy! His Royal Highness and the ministers are real soldiers, so don't make a fuss about minor problems!"

"Hey, hey! Please come with me." Yoshio Nishina fully understands the tyrannical style of this gentleman. It happened in the night of bloodshed two days ago, and the tense situation of the martial law in Tokyo for three consecutive days. He has personally experienced it. God knows these crazy things What unmanageable trouble will the army officer of the army cause!You are still young, so don't let them get rid of you for no apparent reason!

The team pulled to the next door, which was a room made entirely of vacuum glass panels. It was only 20 meters long, and the width and height were no more than five meters. Under the bright light, you could clearly see everything inside.

A group of people were led into the safe house that was isolated from the outside. The situation seen through the four-layer glass was a little blurry, but it did not prevent them from understanding clearly.In that glass house, another butterfly-shaped cauldron with a diameter of nearly four meters was placed on a steel frame. In the center was a cluster of tubes with different calibers. A pointed cone-shaped structure in the center looks very sci-fi attractive.

Two laboratory assistants carefully pushed an iron cage into the room, put it at the end, and locked a monkey in it. I don't know if it smelled the despair and fear of the same kind that died here before they died. The terrified "Zhizhi" screamed and ran wildly while grabbing the iron railing.

The two assistants withdrew as quickly as possible and closed the vacuum isolation door. The screams of the monkeys were completely concealed and could not be heard at all.

Seeing that everyone is in a safe place, and confirming that there is no passage through the safe house, Yoshio Nishina swallowed dryly, carefully looked around at the fanatical senior officials, and cautiously suggested: "My lords, this kind of The power of the x weapon is too great, and it is very difficult to control. Once it is wrong, it will cause irreparable and huge damage, so I must reiterate that if possible, use it with caution."

Prince Zairen nodded sanctimoniously: "Well, we will seriously consider Mr. Director's suggestion. Then, next, please show it to everyone."

"Hi! Please pay attention!"

Yoshio Nishina personally manipulated the huge electronically controlled machinery in the safe house, recalibrated the launcher in the opposite room to aim at the monkey in the cage, and after repeated confirmation, carefully lifted the cover of the mechanism, put his hand on the handle of the three-way switch, Push up slowly.

The machine the size of a wardrobe made a humming sound. As the switch was pushed up, the detection data of voltage, current, and vibration frequency on the front panel soared, reaching a terrifying number in a blink of an eye. .

Looking at the opposite side, at the center of the cauldron, the naked eye can see that the air is slightly distorted, but due to the double-layer vacuum isolation, no sound can be heard.

However, the targeted monkey clearly showed more and more violent mania. From the initial climbing and screaming, it began to shake the iron cage crazily. The thing is, the mouth is so cracked that you can almost put a fist in it!

Yoshio Nishina knew what kind of pain the monkey was suffering, he couldn't help but licked his tongue subconsciously, the veins on the back of his hand were bulging, he hesitated for a while, then he gritted his teeth and pushed it up again!

The current that controls the main engine hums and vibrates, as if a generator of tens of thousands of watts is working. The monkey on the opposite side seems to be shocked by the electric current. In an instant, the hair on its whole body stands on end, its two front paws hug its head, and it frantically moves around in the iron cage. The impact was so powerful that it caused at least a hundred kilograms of dragons to shake uncontrollably. Through the glass, you can clearly see that every time it hits, it almost shatters limbs or bones!

Sadao Araki's eyes shone with fanaticism, and he raised his fists to his chest, almost applauding and cheering!But he tilted his head and looked at the other people who didn't seem to understand why, so he glared at Yoshio Nishina unhappily, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the back of his hand, and said coldly: "Mr. Director, your procrastination will only make that monkey More pain!"

Push it up hard, turn on the power to the maximum, and see a flash of light in the glass house, and the monkey hangs stiffly on the cage in response, its eyes burst out from the frame, followed by blood oozing from its fur and ears. Seconds later, a large piece of viscera spewed out from his mouth, his hands and feet twitched and fell to the ground, completely unrecognizable!To be continued. .
