"You kid is here? Come on, take a few shots, it's very exciting!" Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai who was pulling Moqi to run over and said with excitement.

Then he looked at Xie Kai's hand, which made Mo Qi's face flushed and shook Xie Kai's hand away.

"Come on, the rope is tied to the firing mechanism, and pull it hard, and the shells will be shot out..." Xie Kai walked forward without any embarrassment and introduced to Mo Qi how to fire the shells.

Moqi had only seen firing in the movies, and thought it was easy to hear, but he pulled it hard and used a lot, but he didn't pull the iron apart.

While introducing the various positions of the artillery, Xie Kai introduced the principles. Under his demonstration, he finally shot out a shell.

The huge recoil made the ground tremble.

"Brother, you are here! Let me fire the cannons!" Sun Juan saw that when Xie Kai pulled Moqi to Zheng Yucheng, other cannons were surrounded, and it was not easy to touch them.

"Come on, this is physical work!" Xie Kai glanced at Zheng Yucheng, and Zheng Yucheng spoke.

"I'll load the shells myself!" Sun Juan refused the help of the two garrison soldiers, and actually picked up a 28-kilogram shell and stuffed it into the cannon bore. He also called Moqi, who was stunned, to close the cannon bolt. The two girls studied it for a long time and finally fired another cannon bolt.

Except for the beginning of Zheng Yucheng and others, the artillery operated by half-aged children and young workers at the base later were not so neat.

Sometimes it sounded several times in a row, and sometimes it was not moving for a long time.

"In the queue behind, please keep a safe distance!"

Safety work is the most important thing. The base has been in trouble for many years and has never had an accident. It has become more experienced. In addition, the crowd was in chaos at the beginning. After the fire, many people would only watch from afar, and there was no chaos.

"You don't go up and fire two guns? Although it's not on the battlefield, without enemies, firing cannons is also a pleasant thing." Zheng Yucheng approached Xie Kai and asked him.

Wang Guilin and others came here at some point.

"Old Zheng, how about we get a 122mm self-propelled howitzer?" Xie Kai did not go forward to fire the fire, but he knew that Sun Juan and the happy and tireless Mo Qi kept loading shells and firing fires.

After just three shots, the two women lost the strength.

The artillery behind asked them to retreat, and replaced them with those who were queuing behind. The two women did not leave and watched behind the safety line next to them.

Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng.

"Don't we have a 122mm self-propelled howitzer in our country?" Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai in confusion.

"Do you think it is the Type 70 122mm self-propelled howitzer that has been equipped with the troops for a long time, or the 152mm self-propelled howitzer that has been finalized in 1983?" Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng.

"All of them. We have to do those that are not available in China now!"

"What we want to do is advanced. The Type 70 structure is simple. It is to add a 122mm howitzer to a z-531 territory, and there is no fire control system... As for the Type 83 152mm self-propelled grenade cannon, the technology is not good at all..." Xie Kai said.

Isn’t the base worried about how to spend money?

The 122mm cannon in front of him gave Xie Kai a great inspiration.

Self-propelled howitzer is an inevitable future development.

In particular, the 152mm howitzer originally appeared to support tank cluster operations.

The country has always had the idea of ​​artillery, and the development of heavy artillery has never slowed down.

"Even if we do this project, it won't be much of a benefit." Wang Guilin frowned and said, "The funds consumed will not be too much."

"Ordinary self-propelled howitzers do not have much market. What if we all adopt the most advanced production technology, longer body tubes, longer ranges, and even equipped with a stable image fire control system?" Xie Kai asked with a smile.

Whether it is the Type 70 122mm self-propelled howitzer or the Type 83 152mm self-propelled howitzer, there is no fire control system.

So in the end, without much production equipment, the Type 83 was replaced by the Type 88 self-propelled howitzer introduced from the British disturbance fire control system.

"We have fire control system technology, self-tightening technology in our hands, and production technology of new gun steel... and we can even continue to make a fuss on the 59 tank chassis. In this way, our technologies are more widely used and have lower costs!" Xie Kai proposed to use self-propelled guns, which was not a whim.

This project can completely transfer a lot of R&D costs to the 359 tank project.

"It's not suitable to talk about this here, let's go to the office to talk." Zheng Yucheng became interested.

Others are also interested in this.

The status of cannons in the hearts of the Chinese military is far beyond everything.

"You and Sun Juan are playing here, and then go back by yourself. I have something to do." Xie Kai said to Mo Qi. Mo Qi's mind is now all on the cannon in front, so he has no time to pay attention to Xie Kai.

Xie Kai followed Zheng Yucheng and his group toward the base headquarters amid the constant sound of rumbling cannons.

Most of the people at the base were outside here, and when they saw Zheng Yucheng and others, they greeted each other.

Seeing Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng and others together, many people immediately became interested.

They asked the people around them whose child they were, and then some educated youth told me that Xie Kai and Wang Hao were still doing something bad in the base.

"I said last night that we are not suitable for intervening in the aircraft carriers and large destroyers. We can do this project of armed helicopters, and at the same time we will carry out research on howitzers to cooperate with our 359 tanks." Xie Kai entered the conference room, and the first sentence was this, "We can provide these to customers with the cooperation."

Iraq and Iran are both potential customers.

Even Pakistan can become their client.

"Some countries cannot afford advanced tanks, but they absolutely need advanced self-propelled howitzers!"

Before World War I, major powers began to desperately develop artillery, tanks, self-propelled artillery, etc., which can be regarded as upgraded versions of artillery.

The truth is within the range of the cannon.

"I think this project is more reliable. Many of our technologies are ready-made, just integrate them, and you can even get the finished product soon." Qi Yuanzhi nodded and said, "This project requires a lot of funds, and we can use the project to hide the funds."

They are working on 125mm tank guns, using state-of-the-art technology and do not require reinvestment and research.

Even the fire control system proposed by Xie Kai is a ready-made technology in 201.

"I also think it's good, and I can find more ways out for the stable image fire control system of the 201 Institute." Bai Yanjun also supports this project.

"The project is good, we don't have a dedicated team to study this." Wang Guilin also felt that the project was feasible and the finished product would be seen soon.

Most of the R&D teams at the 404 base were evacuated, and they did not have an artillery research team.

Even the 125-caliber tank guns of the 359 Tank Project were commissioned by the 541 base to use the technology they provided for development.

"Combined with the Fifth Machinery Department and the Armored Forces Engineering Department, there are many domestic units that are capable of carrying out this project." Xie Kai said.

They do everything themselves, and it is definitely not a good thing.

Even if you are exhausted, you can't finish it.

"Our base pays for the money and other units pays for the technology, but what about the final result?" Zheng Yucheng disliked the most.

It is all state units. They pay for it and other units do it. The final result ownership issue is difficult to clearly distinguish. Many units can directly use their results.

"Don't you like to spend money on people? Spend money to buy people from units that develop artillery to buy technology; buy people from units that develop territory to buy technology..." Xie Kai said. "We just need to build a responsible assembly design team, and each unit has only a certain part of the technology at most!"

"Xiao Xie's proposal is good. As long as the assembly technology is in our hands, no one will say anything else. At that time, we hold the technology in our hands and ask for help with production will be decided by us! Whether it is the domestic Air Force order or the foreign order, we have to pass through us!" Qi Yuanzhi nodded.

"I think we have to consider installing self-propelled cannons with stable image fire control systems. Will the price be too high?" Bai Yanjun reminded everyone to consider this issue.

The higher the technical level, the more expensive the price.

"First develop the assembly technology, as for the others, let's talk about it later. I think the price is expensive? No problem, just provide a reduced version based on the price the other party is willing to provide." Xie Kai said with a smile, "We must speed up, maybe we can make a deal while the Iran-Iraq War is not over." Xie Kai said with a smile.

If the base hadn't started to set off fireworks to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new today, he wouldn't have thought of this problem.

The research, development and production of artillery is a bit far from 404.

In the future, even if the accuracy of missiles becomes higher and better, the performance of missiles will continue for a long time and become the representative of cheap heavy firepower.

Xie Kai doesn't think about the future. The key is that this thing can be made quickly and then exchanged for US dollars from the Iraqis and Iranians!

At the same time, it can also solve the problem that the funds in the base are not consumed by projects.

For the 404 base, this is a new project, but many technologies are themselves that they are developing and even already owned.

In this way, it will appear faster than the finished products of the 359 tank and will be introduced to the international market.

"Let's study which units we cooperate with. In fact, we are just improving the original confident artillery design, adding fire control systems, etc., and choosing who we cooperate with is very important." Qi Yuanzhi's words mean that they recognized this project.

Xie Kai didn't have the time to study these things with them.

A total waste of time.
