Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 581 A Modern-Day Jia Xu! (Second Update!)

If it were just a distance measurement, Mijeraflorich wouldn't be surprised. However, in the information that came from Saudi Arabia, they mentioned that the tanks driven by these nine warriors were equipped with high-explosive anti-personnel rounds.

While there is some overlap in the use of high-explosive anti-personnel rounds and high-explosive grenades for tanks, they are actually two different things.

The explosive charge of high-explosive anti-personnel rounds is slightly lower than that of high-explosive shells, but the number of fragments in the shell is increased to effectively kill personnel.

High-explosive grenades, on the other hand, have a larger explosive charge than high-explosive anti-personnel grenades and rely more on shockwaves for attack.

Saudi sources indicate that the tank driven by the nine warriors was equipped with high-explosive anti-personnel rounds.

They used these high-explosive personnel-killing rounds to destroy dozens of tanks and a large number of armored vehicles and trucks.

Mijelavlovich found it hard to imagine how much explosive charge a high-explosive personnel-killing round must contain to have a greater destructive power than a high-explosive grenade.

But tank gun barrels are only so thick, and shells are only so big. No matter how much explosives you load, you can't achieve the same effect as in the photo.

Combined with the 4.7-kilometer distance we just calculated.

He began to suspect that there was something wrong with the three tanks that Saudi Arabia had shipped back to the country.

However, there is no evidence.

He had no evidence to prove those things. If he wanted to know, he could either send agents or find those soldiers on the day of the medal ceremony and ask them clearly.

After a slight hesitation, Miyalavlovich picked up the phone and called Sergei, the head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service.

Once the call connected, he immediately said, "I demand that you send someone to Saudi Arabia right now to find out what's going on with that tank!"

"immediately!"

Sergei on the other end of the line didn't ask why they needed to figure out about tanks. A clear stomp of his foot came from the other end, followed by his resolute voice:
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

…………

Suzhou.

The workshop of the special vehicle manufacturing company was unusually quiet today, with even the lights off.

On the wall at the entrance of the workshop, there are three screens, each displaying a video.

These three videos show the entire process of Shereyev and his team attacking the Israeli army in three tanks.

Explosions echoed one after another, followed by screams. As the three videos reached their end, Lin Yi took out a switch, paused the videos, and turned on the workshop lights.

"Everyone, now that you've all finished watching, let's share your thoughts."

"Engineer Shen, you go first!"

When Shen Weihua's name was called, he stood up, holding his notebook in both hands. He looked around and then focused his gaze on his notebook again.
"I think we should abandon the distinction between high explosive personnel fragmentation munitions and high explosive grenades."

"We need to load as much explosive as possible to maximize its power."

"We saw it in the video just now; some tanks were hit by a shell, but they were still able to move forward."

"This won't work!"

That's all I wanted to say.

Shen Weihua stepped down, and Liu Nanqiao naturally picked up his notebook. Lin Yi then called on him, saying, "Engineer Liu, why don't you tell us?"

Liu Nanqiao stood up, not taking his notebook, but asking directly:
"I'm thinking, could we replace the artillery with electromagnetic guns?"

"Based on current speculations, if an electromagnetic railgun were used instead, the tank's ammunition capacity could be increased by at least 80%."

"Moreover, electromagnetic railguns are even more powerful."

"The range is also greater. If we can mount electromagnetic guns on tanks, we can basically move around freely."

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and in the end, he simply started gesturing wildly. After gesturing, he looked at Lin Yi with anticipation on his face.

After this period of contact, these people from various research institutes also realized that the strongest technology at Xiaomi Heavy Industry was not their two chief engineers, but their boss.

Unfortunately, this boss had endless work to do and no time to focus his energy on research.

But every time, he manages to come up with a bunch of novel things.

And these novelties always manage to solve the problems they encounter during the research and development process in just the right way.

Maybe an electromagnetic railgun could work too?

Meeting Liu Nanqiao's expectant gaze, Lin Yi stepped forward, firmly patted the engineer's shoulder, and encouraged him:

"Liu Gong, this task is assigned to you. You need to solve the high-voltage inverter problem first, so that our batteries can stably and effectively supply power to the electromagnetic gun."

"By the way, electromagnetic catapults also need this. If you can get it working, it'll be a double win."

Should I get myself to work on high-voltage inverters?
Liu Nanqiao raised his right hand, pointing his index finger at himself, his eyes filled with confusion.

Isn't this a joke?
I'm not an electrical engineering expert, so why should I be asked to work on high-voltage inverters?
It's impossible, it's impossible!
It's impossible to do anything about it!
Liu Nanqiao plopped down, pretending that he hadn't said anything.

After the two of them finished speaking, the remaining people in the conference room began to offer their opinions:

"I think we should just make our tanks painted like the American ones."

“Theirs looks better; ours is too bright.”

"I also think we should add more explosives!"

"Let's build an electromagnetic railgun!"

"Load more explosives..."

"I think we should produce specialized poison gas bombs!"

From the corner, someone said something, and the noisy chatter immediately stopped. Everyone turned around and stared at the dumbfounded person in the corner.

Stared at by everyone, the man gave an awkward smile and said:
"It wasn't actually a poison gas bomb!"

"It should be called a battlefield special gas bomb, such as ether, or other anesthetic."

"Because I just checked, the attacked side had about 1000 people, and about 400 of them escaped."

"If the attacking side had fired a round of tranquilizer darts before the attack, knocking everyone unconscious, then none of the more than 400 people would have escaped."

Finally, the man smiled, revealing a somewhat shy smile.

However, his smile had absolutely nothing to do with what he had just said.

After he brought it up, the others also offered their suggestions.

"I think we can add a loudspeaker system, like installing a speaker outside."

"Then when we are on the offensive, when we have the advantage and don't have to worry about being surrounded, we put this megaphone to use."

“We can choose to shout, but at the same time, we can also use it to play songs from their hometown.”

"For example, the cherry blossoms are blooming, or Katyusha rockets, or even just crying!"

The person who made the suggestion became more and more excited as he spoke, and towards the end, he simply spread his arms wide and gestured, saying loudly:
"Imagine a battlefield where the situation has deteriorated to the point of defeat, and the remaining people are putting up a last-ditch effort, when suddenly the sound of men crying can be heard on the battlefield."

"This is definitely going to be interesting!"

After the man sat down, another man stood up and looked at Lin Yi, saying, "I saw something very interesting on the news the other day."

"There was a person who invented a life detector in order to search for people trapped underground after an earthquake."

“By now, that life detector has been updated to the third generation. It can detect people hiding behind walls that are four or five meters away. I think we can add this design.”

Amidst the chaotic noise, Lin Yi still managed to make out the person's thoughts.

In just a moment, his memory returned, and he remembered that he had watched this program in his previous life.

In the officially produced program, the man's original intention has never changed; it has always been to search for people buried underground after the earthquake.

However, the equipment they manufactured wasn't very good; it could only detect what was behind the wall and couldn't detect deeper locations.

What I just heard, the so-called ability to detect depths of four or five meters, should mean it can detect people behind that wall four or five meters away.

At the end of the program, the military made an appearance.

Then we never heard from this person again. A few years later, the armed police in the city's counter-terrorism unit acquired an additional piece of equipment.

This device is called a life detector.

Very useful.

Especially a few years later, in the official demonstration video, this thing was installed on the back of the radar detector.

The electronic dog carried two things on its back: a life detector and a 5-kilogram TNT.

These two things were attached to the back of the radar detector, and then the radar detector just swaggered around in the alley.

Upon hearing a noise, the internal equipment is activated, transmitting the image back. The receiving base can then control the electronic dog to automatically explode.

Hearing the news again, Lin Yi suddenly realized how fast the year had passed.

It feels like a lifetime ago.

After a few minutes of slight confusion, he looked up at everyone in front of him and clapped his hands: "Everyone, I have a task for you, which is to think carefully about how we should improve our next generation of equipment after this meeting."

"Everyone, please organize your plans and submit them to me."

"However, you'd better finish your own work before you work on this plan."

"Don't make me work in my car!"

"Okay, let's break up the meeting!"

These contemporary Jia Xus, after hearing Lin Yi's words, were all eager to put their plans into action and then apply them.

But soon they suddenly realized that if all the solutions were applied to the tank, the tank would become a hybrid of two different things.

That means that these so-called solutions can only be applied to a portion of the cases.

This means that from this moment on, the people present are no longer colleagues or companions, but real competitors.

It's just trash fish!
It's an enemy!
In an instant, those with solutions in mind began to form cliques, while glaring angrily at others whose solutions were in competition with their own.

Upon seeing this outcome, Lin Yi's face twitched, and he was the first to leave the workshop.

He received a message shortly after leaving the workshop.

A message from Guo Song:

Pack five tanks that you are currently manufacturing and send them to the army. If the Saudis ask, just answer that they will understand!

After reading the text message, Lin Yi's fingers landed on the phone keypad, and he replied with "ok".

If Sall asks, just answer directly, and they will understand.

Even if they don't understand, they will try to understand.

After sending the message, Lin Yi hummed a song, spread his arms, and twirled back to the telecommunications company.

…………

Yanjing.

In the Joint Operations Command Center of the General Staff, Leng Yun and the others from the General Staff were standing in front of the unfolded global map, using the chess pieces in their hands to conduct a simple war game simulation.

“If I launch a 500-megaton nuclear bomb at high altitude in the war zone, the explosion of this nuclear bomb will create an ion black hole 1000 to 2000 kilometers in diameter. Inside this black hole, there are those so-called intelligent devices.”

"If you are near the explosion, you will be overloaded and burned up in an instant."

"Even at a distance from the explosion, there will be interference, and communications will be disrupted."

"Then my old mechanical suits will make their grand entrance. These old mechanical suits, with their last embers, will rush towards your intelligent equipment as always, and smash your heads open!"

"Full-band jamming?" Leng Yun retorted, then smiled and picked up another flag, planting it in the middle of the so-called battlefield:

"A nuclear bomb with a yield of 500 megatons or more explodes in the air at an altitude of more than 30 kilometers, and the resulting ionospheric black hole is actually only about 200 kilometers wide."

"And the duration will not exceed 10 hours at most."

"For 10 hours, the equipment I used was automated, but it still retained its mechanical structure. Even though the computer was unusable, the mechanical structure could still drive it."

"Moreover, the only firepower I can provide is to reduce the speed from extremely fast to normal."

"My shells still have a higher firing range and a wider blast radius than yours."

"Unless you launch a nuclear missile at the target every eight hours or so, but if you do that, you'll face another problem."

"The safety of your soldiers!"

"It's impossible not to consider it!"

"So even if you play the full-band jamming card, you still can't stop me!"

"So you still lost!" As he spoke, Leng Yun steadily planted the flag in his hand into the area controlled by the opposing team.

After planting the last small flag, he raised his hand, clapped it, and smiled at the person opposite him, saying:
"Just admit defeat!"

"Faced with overwhelming firepower and range, your schemes are nothing but childish tantrums, utterly useless."

"And from beginning to end, I didn't bring anything else up!"

That last sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. After hearing that sentence, the person on the other end felt all the anger he had been holding in, and he stared dejectedly at the little flag on the map.

The map between the two was clearly shaped like America's map.

The last place where Leng Yun planted the flag was Richmond, a crucial point on the way from America in the west to Washington.

Beyond this city lies an endless plain, and then there is America's Washington, D.C.

The only remaining obstacle is the slowly flowing Potomac River.

But things had come to this point, and the slowly flowing Potomac River could not stop the army.

I can only serve as a witness.
