Chapter 118 Accuracy improved by an order of magnitude

Although Qin Tao has not taken it apart and looked at it, Qin Tao also knows it. Now that he explains it to Zhao Ling, everyone else can't help but give a thumbs up. Qin Tao is really awesome and knows everything.

Qin Tao continued: "However, the shape of this shell is not good-looking. I will design a new turret shape for you later. It is not only beautiful, but also can match the shape of our missile boats."

  What styling matching does the missile boat have? Invisibility of course!

This round turret still needs to be improved in terms of the stealth of the shell. Of course, Qin Tao only cares about the design. As for what materials to use, whether to continue to use plastic or aluminum alloy, Qin Tao does not consider it.

 “A new shell?” Xia Bei was a little curious.

"Yes, the new shell. The products you provide us must use this new shell. Otherwise, our military representative will not sign." Qin Tao said.

I just happened to bring Zhao Ling here, and now I can use the tiger skin to make a big flag.

Zhao Ling could only nod. It was not a big deal for a shell. Since Qin Tao insisted, let him do it.

"All right."

After taking apart the shell, you can find that the entire second half of the barrel is hidden inside the turret, and only part of it is exposed outside. This additional bracket starts from the tail fixed point of the turret and goes forward. Extends all the way to the outside and is connected to the barrel through a special bearing.

 In this way, it is equivalent to adding an additional fixed rod on the outside, and it can also perform pitching and rotation along with the gun barrel without affecting the aiming at the target.

“No need to install the shell, test again!” Xia Bei continued to shout.

 The test mission was soon restarted.

This kind of artillery can use radar for fully automatic aiming and shooting, or it can be manually controlled using an optical system. It is currently only a test gun, so it uses manual aiming. The test gunner used a replica SP521 electro-optical tracker to aim at the target. , and then pressed the button again.

　　Boom!

The barrel rotated rapidly, and a ball of flame shot out from the muzzle, just like a flamethrower. Just in front of the flame, countless dense shells flew out.

Zhao Ling opened her eyes wide: "How many shells can fly out at once?"

"It takes 0.2 seconds from startup to reaching the maximum rate of fire." Qin Tao said from the side: "Its maximum rate of fire, the initial model is 3,000 rounds per minute, and the later model is 5,000 rounds per minute, which is equivalent to It can fire more than eighty rounds per second."

“Qin Gong, you are very familiar with this gun.” Xia Bei said.

 “Just so so.” Qin Tao was very modest.

As he spoke, the shooting had ended. This kind of cannon fires in short bursts. Although it is said to fire thousands of rounds per minute, its ammunition reserve is only one or two thousand rounds. (Various sources give different data. Some say it has a thousand rounds of ammunition, and some say it has two thousand rounds. However, it is much higher than the 730's 500 rounds of ammunition.)

“Isn’t this too outrageous?”

"What's wrong with this? The Americans' Phalanx has a rate of fire of tens of thousands of rounds." Qin Tao said.

"Actually, if we want to achieve a rate of fire of tens of thousands of rounds, there is a way." Xia Bei said: "We have already studied it. The ammunition preparation of this system is from the left, and the right is empty, so, If we stack another gun barrel on top of it and provide ammunition from the right side, the two guns can fire at the same time to achieve a rate of fire of tens of thousands of rounds."

The military workers of this era are also smart enough! To think of this!

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Lao Maozi had no choice but to rest on his laurels. Although they developed an integrated artillery and artillery system, they also continued to upgrade their AK-630.

The new model is AK-630M1-2. In addition to improving the turret to a stealth shape, it also places two sets of 6-barreled 30mm cannons up and down, with a total of 12 barrels. The rate of fire per minute is increased to 10,000 rounds. , the firepower is definitely brutal enough.

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, Mr. Xia, what you are talking about is an improvement idea, but..."

“However, the problem of barrel jitter will be more prominent, and the dispersion accuracy will be worse.” Xia Bei was very smart, and then he thought of this drawback.

"Yes, that's the problem. However, if you change the perspective, this problem of poor dispersion accuracy becomes an advantage. A large number of artillery shells can form a wider interception surface, which is more effective against small targets that penetrate defenses at low altitudes. You have to try it to know the specific effect.”

 Similar to multiple rocket launchers, but with poor accuracy? No problem, let's launch an extra batch, which will become a comprehensive weapon.

Of course, Qin Tao doesn't know the specific interception effect. Which one is more effective, whether to deploy two cannons to intercept together, or to intercept with a double six-barreled cannon.

 Practice brings true knowledge. Let’s talk about this later.

“The data is out, and the dispersion accuracy has improved by an order of magnitude! In the past, half of our shells would fly away, but now, all the shells fall on the target!” The person responsible for checking the target ran back and shouted excitedly.

"Well, it really works." Xia Bei's eyes also shone: "In this way, we can also do business! Qin Gong, thank you very much, the idea you gave us is really good!"

Qin Tao nodded: "Well, since the test is OK, you hurry up and build the cannon. We are still waiting for the installation! Come on, I will draw the design drawing of the turret for you!"

Zhao Ling followed behind and sighed for a while. Qin Tao is so awesome. He can solve problems with a simple idea. There is nothing he can't do.

“Well, Qin Gong, if you want to continue to improve the accuracy, is there any other way?” Xia Bei continued. He has always been worried about improving the accuracy because they have to compare with the 730 guns of their brother units.

Qin Tao frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "The only simple way is to improve the accuracy of the manufacturing of artillery shells and barrels."

 It is not easy to improve. Strictly control the quality and improve the processing accuracy of the barrel and shells. Maybe the shells can be fired more accurately.

 In the drawing room of the design office, Qin Tao picked up a drawing pen and a drawing ruler, and quickly drew the polygonal turret shape.

Looking at the three views of this turret, Xia Bei was a little curious: "Qin Gong, why do you do this?"

"Stealth." Qin Tao said: "In the future, the stealth of warships will be an important indicator. Not to mention this kind of close-in defense gun, even the turret of the main gun will have to be shaped like this in the future."

"Stealth? Is it necessary for such a large warship to be stealthy?" Xia Bei was puzzled.

"Yes, you can turn a large warship into a small warship, and the displacement of three thousand tons can be turned into one thousand tons." Qin Tao said: "This is the trend and trend. Let's wait and see in the future!"
