1959: Carrying the achievement system, she rolled

"The first step was successful..."

As everyone reacted, a hearty laugh erupted. Even if the armor-piercing rounds hadn't been successfully developed yet, they didn't care. As long as they could succeed in one step, they would be completely successful.

"congratulations……"

"Happy with joy..."

Everyone congratulated Qin Chulong and, without waiting for his reply, congratulated each other. They had contributed a little, but not much.

Witnessing the first successful step in armor-piercing ammunition is a cause for celebration for everyone. It's not about fame or fortune, but simply the joy of having contributed.

Once armor-piercing rounds were successfully developed, they would have a weapon to fight tanks. In the future, they would be able to stand tall and take on the enemy on the battlefield.

When they bought the blueprints for the Type 59 tank, they paid so much money that they even wanted to buy an armor-piercing shell.

As a result, they refused to sell it to them. When they had armor-piercing shells, they still looked down on their armor-piercing shells!

As its name suggests, armor-piercing shells use the high-temperature and high-pressure metal jets generated during explosions to destroy armor.

However, if it encounters a tank with thicker armor, it will be useless and can only attack some fortifications and soft targets like a grenade.

Despite this, they don't mind, it's better than nothing!

"Teacher, our guess is correct..." This was the first sentence Du Yimeng said after climbing out of the tank.

This also proves once again that the people of the Bear Country in this era are really dogs!

That military magazine was the "Military History Magazine" published by the Soviet Union in 59.

There are two components of armor-piercing projectiles missing above. No matter what kind of components they are, if they appear in armor-piercing projectiles, they must have their indispensable functions.

"Well done!" Qin Chulong praised. The fact that he could say the word "well done" proved that he was already very outstanding.

Everyone looked at Du Yimeng with bright eyes. The young man was energetic, not afraid of hardship or fatigue, capable and smart. He was more than good, he was obviously very good.

Du Yimeng didn't care about Qin Chulong's praise. Instead, he discussed with Qin Chulong what the next step of research should be, such as how much explosives should be filled in the projectile body and how thick the iron plate could be penetrated.

In the past, if she could get a compliment from him, she would be happy for several days.

She now just wants to make the armor-piercing shells as soon as possible. When the Type 59 tank appeared at the 10th anniversary parade, it had just been assembled and had not yet been tested and evaluated.

She wanted their armor-piercing projectiles to appear in this year's military parade. Not only her, but also the people in the institute and the higher-ups thought so.

Their rapid progress was also inseparable from the support from above. Even though Director Song was always out to get the wool, it was still a drop in the bucket for their experiments.

Their experiments require a lot of materials, which costs money!

If you throw money into the water, you can hear a sound, but if you throw it into their laboratory, you can only hear a sound when they fire the cannon.

As a military equipment, armor-piercing bullets can not only demonstrate the country's military technology and strength in the National Day parade, but also demonstrate the country's national defense capabilities.

It is also telling the world that their country has defense capabilities.

Don't think that the world is at peace just because you don't hear gunfire or artillery fire.

The jackals, tigers and leopards are always watching you with eager eyes. If you dare to show any weakness, they will pounce on you without hesitation and tear you to pieces.

The only way to survive in this world where the strong prey on the weak is to work hard to make yourself strong enough that no one dares to shake you.

"Teacher Du, please hurry back to the laboratory." Wan Ping urged and ran towards the laboratory.

His time is precious and every minute and every second cannot be wasted.

"Run! Wasting time is equal to wasting life. Don't let your master die young..." Wan Ping muttered to his legs and suddenly increased his speed.

……

Mid-May 61

A month has passed since the last successful test launch. After continuous testing, we have reached the final stage.

At the test firing range, an armor-piercing projectile roared out from the barrel of a Type 59 tank, targeting the 80 mm thick armor steel in front.

To make it more realistic, several scarecrows were stuck behind the armored steel.

This is not an option. We can't just put the tank there for experiments!

No matter how much wealth you have, you wouldn’t dare to do this!

The reason why the armor steel is set at 80 mm is because the armor steel thickness of the front part of the Type 59 tank body is 100 mm.

The sides are 80 mm, and the turret is as high as 220 mm.

They are not greedy. As long as they can penetrate 80 mm of armored steel, they will be satisfied.

When the armor-piercing shell flew out of the barrel, the wind cap melted under the high temperature.

When the front end of the projectile touches the target, it will be damaged, but it will also cause certain damage to the surface of the armor steel. This will help the complete pointed projectile to continue to penetrate the armor.

When the warhead completely enters the other side of the armor steel, the fuse at the end of the warhead is activated, and the explosive filling inside the body is also detonated.

With a bang, several scarecrows were instantly engulfed by flames.

There was silence at the scene, followed by crazy shouting.

"Success..." Du Yimeng, who was looking out through the loader's observation port, shouted in surprise.

From the initial 30 grams, it has gradually increased until today the explosives in the bomb body are 285.6 grams.

It’s reached the decimal point, what does it mean?

This shows that today's results were achieved through their testing step by step, and the hardships involved are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Every test and every armored bullet fired costs money. I wonder if Director Song still has his hair?

"Success..." The operator Huang Yamin, who was observing outside through the gunner's observation port, also shouted at the same time.

The two turned to look at each other at the same time, their eyes filled with unconcealable surprise and excitement.

During this month, there were test launches almost every day, and the operator was always Huang Yamin.

You want to ask why?

Of course, he couldn't give this opportunity to personally control a miracle to others, and for this he was beaten up by several of his comrades.

"We succeeded, ahhhh..." Huang Yamin climbed out of the tank quickly. He was so excited that he needed to find someone to share this joy with him.

As for why he didn't look for Du Yimeng, it was because when he was too excited, he wanted to hug someone, so he missed the comrades who beat him very much.

He also wanted to show off a bit, since he was the one who fired the armor-piercing bullet.

"Old Yang, am I dazzled? Did he really go through it?" Director Song held Political Commissar Yang's hand tightly.

At this moment, he felt the incomparable warmth of Lao Yang's hand, which gave him strength and prevented him from falling down due to excessive excitement.

"We succeeded. We have our own armor-piercing bullets." The always serious Political Commissar Yang had tears in his eyes. They had waited for this day for too long.
