Chapter 457: Shore defense gun

Range. Mobile terminal
power.
weight.
flexibility.
These are several important parameters for investigating the performance of artillery.
While reducing the caliber and weight, if you want to maintain sufficient power and sufficient range at the same time, you must increase the diameter.
The longer the barrel, the farther the range and the straighter the ballistic trajectory. This is the most basic principle.
At present, it is generally 45 times the caliber. The maximum range is between 40-50 kilometers.
If it can be increased to 50 times the caliber. That range can be increased by 5-10 kilometers.
If it is increased to 60 times the caliber, the range can be increased by 5-10 kilometers.
If it is 75 times the caliber, the maximum range will exceed 80 kilometers.
However, the larger the multiple diameter, the higher the requirements on the manufacturing process.
After all, the body must resist the influence of natural gravity. Over time, natural bending will appear.
The current electroslag remelting and barrel self-tightening technology has also developed to its limit.
Especially for large-caliber guns below 120 mm, the larger the multiple diameter, the more serious the sagging phenomenon. Some tanks even need to add a special support frame.
However, if the barrel is forged with a hydraulic press of 50 billion tons, there is no problem.
The topic strayed accidentally.
Peng Deming seems to have deliberately brought the topic to artillery.
In fact, he did not appear alone.
He came with a large group of people.
"This is Wang Bu'an, Chief Engineer Wang. The current head of White Feather Whale Technology. He also serves as the helm of Tyrannosaurus Rex Industry."
"This is Lufeng Chai, President Chai. Vice President of Vulcan Heavy Industries. Artillery expert."
"Hello there."
"Hello there."
Peng Deming introduced to both parties.
What he brought was an inspection team from Vulcan Heavy Industries.
They are here to inspect the Apocalypse tank. By the way, it is also necessary to share the progress of artillery research and development.
The artillery of the Apocalypse tank was developed by them.
Almost half of the large-caliber artillery used by Huaxia came from Vulcan Heavy Industries.
Such as the PLZ45 star artillery mentioned earlier.
The original design of the Apocalypse tank was a 140mm main gun, which was very demanding.
In the former Soviet Union, that was absolute artilleryism. How fierce the artillery is to you. Don't care about the cost or anything.
But now, this kind of thinking is no longer suitable.
Performance must be strong.
The price should be low.
To be useful.
After being unable to make it, it is a decoration. A waste of human, financial and material resources.
Anxious for this reason, Wang Bu'an believes that when necessary, the 255mm tank gun can also be used as a support fire-long-range artillery support.
Isn’t there no heavy artillery over 155mm in the current Army Rabbit? The 203mm howitzers are all retired.
The caliber is 255 mm, the multiple diameter is 75 or more, and the range must exceed 80 kilometers!
As a battlefield support weapon, the effect is certainly good.
With a 255mm caliber and 100 times the caliber, the range will exceed 100 kilometers!
This is a terrifying range.
It is almost the kill range of short-range missiles.
If the bottom row extended-range projectile is used, the range may exceed 120 kilometers. It can be said to be invincible in the world.
The 240mm howitzer on the other side of the strait has a range of only 23 kilometers, which is a joke.
The consequence of the short range is to be repeatedly ravaged by people.
You have no chance to fight back.
Can't hit the other party.
What can you do?
"Oh, we don't need to study Apocalypse tanks, just study a self-propelled artillery." Zhong Hui exaggerated exaggerated exaggeration.
"Don't tell me. I came this time with such a mission." Chai Lufeng said.
"What task?"
"It's a super heavy artillery with large caliber, large range, and great power."
"What's the caliber?"
"255 mm or more."
"How far is the range?"
"At least 80 kilometers."
Chai Lufeng slowly explained that he specifically came to Wang Bu'an to discuss the joint development.
The focus of research and development is the large-caliber heavy gun with a caliber of 255 mm. Mainly for export. Mainly used for coastal defense. The market demand is strong.
"Haiphong?" Wang Bu'an asked with some confusion.
"The monsters of the deep sea have been very active recently," Chai Lufeng said. "All countries are a little nervous."
"that……"
"They need a lot of shore defense guns."
"Oh."
Wang Buan understood.
It turned out to be my own sin...
Ah, no, that should be said. It is another market that I have no intention of opening up.
Originally, I only wanted to plot against a certain country, but I didn't expect that the development of the entire world would become a little bit off track. The arms market suddenly became active.
Indeed, the deep sea monsters have been very active recently. Appear here for a while, appear there for a while.
So, what if a deep sea monster appears?
navy?
air force?
What if the navy is insufficient?
What if the air force is insufficient?
Whether it is the navy or the air force, it takes a long time to build. There is no way to do it overnight.
It takes a long time to train pilots. It will take a hundred years to build a mature navy. Obviously, most countries do not have such capabilities.
What to do then?
I can't just wait and die!
At this time, someone said to them, why not buy hundreds of artillery to resist?
Can't handle the air force, or the navy, can't even control artillery, right? That's okay. We are responsible for training. It only takes three months to basically form combat effectiveness...
If a deep-sea monster appears near the coast, immediately assemble hundreds of artillery to beat it. Maybe it scared it away.
A fighter jet is tens of millions of dollars. A warship costs hundreds of millions of dollars.
How much does an artillery system cost?
At most several million dollars.
Super bargain!
There are discounts for wholesale!
Buy five camps and get one camp free. Also send three-year training course...
"How many orders is estimated?"
"At least ten thousand sets."
"Really?"
"Really."
Chai Lufeng said solemnly.
He said that this market demand is very strong.
Moreover, there are basically no competitors. Because no one else can develop it.
Heavy guns with a caliber of 155 mm or less can be manufactured by several major countries. However, only Tyrannosaurus Rex Industries has a caliber over 75 times.
What are the characteristics of shore defense guns?
The requirements for mobility are not very high.
But the power must be large and the range must be long.
In other words, it is these two characteristics, neither of which is indispensable. Otherwise, others are not welcome.
Who would be so stupid to buy useless things at high prices?
"I heard that the 203mm howitzers that were eliminated before have been pulled out. But the range is too close."
"For coastal defense artillery, 50 kilometers is too close. Without 80 kilometers, there is hardly any effect."
"If you use missiles, the price is too expensive. Not cost-effective. The control is also complicated."
"Furthermore, it turns out that deep sea monsters can carry missiles."
The key is the barrel.
A barrel with 75 times the caliber.
According to the caliber of 155 mm, the barrel length will reach 11.625 meters.
This is a very powerful data.
If it is 255 mm, the barrel length will reach 19.125 meters.
Obviously, this data is more perverted.
It is not easy to ensure the quality of such a long barrel.
This is still 75 times the caliber.
If it is 100 times the caliber...
The 155mm cannon has a barrel length of 15.5 meters.
If it is a 255 mm cannon, the barrel length will reach 25.5 meters.
No matter which one it is, it is very scary.
Basically, such a barrel needs to be specially made.
The German Tiger King tank was equipped with a 71-caliber 88mm tank gun. Invincible sweeping the battlefield.
"As long as you can provide barrels, our horses can support them."
"So fast?"
"Of course. We all have a ready-made plan."
"it is good."
Wang Buyan is also welcome.
Now is the time for crazy money.
Mainly to fish foreigners' money. This kind of money is naturally the more the better.
Immediately order the Guan Industrial Park to start production.
The first to be produced was a 155mm, 75-caliber barrel.
This is also the shore defense artillery system that Vulcan Heavy Industries first introduced to the market. First test the market's reaction, but also test the quality of the barrel.
After the whole set of artillery is produced, comprehensive testing performance is also required. It may take several months.
Must seize every minute of time and push to the market as quickly as possible.
"how much?"
"I want 20% of the final sale price."
The sales price of a complete set of 155mm guns is often calculated in millions of dollars.
Even if it is calculated according to the price of 1 million US dollars per set, it is also 200,000 US dollars.
It only takes one hour to process a barrel. It can process 24 pieces a day. You can earn $4.8 million in pocket money a day.
In fact, the price of a 75-caliber 155mm artillery system is definitely more than $1 million.
The cost of the barrel is definitely more than 20% of the entire gun.
It's just that Wang Bu'an doesn't care much~EbookFREE.me~ He doesn't have time to spend money at all, OK?
In the past, she could seduce a few air hostess cuties, but now Pei Lan uses helicopters to pick her up and drop off her every day.
From this perspective, Pei Lan is simply deliberate. Deliberately did not give him the opportunity to bother with carrots.
Of course, in front of Pei Lan, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
In short, he still has some scruples about Pei Lan.
"how about it?"
"no problem."
Chai Lufeng did not bargain.
He certainly hopes that the price can be lowered slightly to increase the profits of Vulcan Heavy Industries.
However, Wang Buyan’s price is already very sincere. If it is changed to Vulcan Heavy Industries, perhaps 30% of the price will be offered.
After all, without a corresponding barrel, they have no chance to seize the market.
From this point of view, Wang Buyan's desire to seize the bulk is completely justified.
"Deal!"
"Deal!"
Sign a memorandum on site.
There is no prescribed quantity. No parameters are specified.
The specifications and parameters of the barrel are provided by Vulcan Heavy Industries. What does the other party need? What does Wang Buyan produce.
After the whole set of artillery is sold, the final settlement is made.
"Lao Chai, you said, what is the approximate price for such a set of artillery system exports?" Peng Deming asked.
"I'm not telling you, at least 5 million US dollars." Chai Lufeng said in a deep voice.
"Do you already have an order?"
"Yes."
"How many?"
"More than 2,400 sets."
There was no reaction from everyone.
Only Guan Yu Qiang's eyes suddenly brightened.
