"Comrades, time is short and the task is heavy. I won't waste any more time talking to you. Let's get straight to the point!"

After entering Workshop No. 1 with a large group of technicians.

Fang Yu said with a serious face.

"Before I came back, Navy Commander-in-Chief Jiang called me."

"The coastal areas of our Dragon Country are being harassed and destroyed by the Bald Air Force!"

"Therefore, our superiors need us to develop an air defense weapon that can deal with high-altitude bombers within the shortest possible time!"

"This is the design drawing I rushed out last night. Please take a look at it."

"If you have any questions or additions, please feel free to ask me..."

As he spoke, Fang Yu placed the stack of design drawings he had brought with him on the table.

Su Niannian and others quickly picked up the design drawings and looked at them carefully.

But then, they all frowned slightly and looked at each other.

Originally, they thought Fang Yu would develop a weapon that could be used to deal with high-altitude bombers based on the individual infrared-guided weapon, the "Changying No. 1".

Unexpectedly, this time Fang Yu actually settled for second best.

What they were going to design was actually an anti-aircraft gun?

Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Fang Yu did not give any further explanation.

At the beginning, he did want to make air defense missiles like S300 and Patriot in one go.

But firstly, what he was facing now was just a bomber from World War II, and an airplane was probably not even as expensive as an anti-aircraft missile.

Using missiles like the S300 to hit it is a bit like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, which is not worth it.

Secondly, the funds and resources required to manufacture an S300 type air defense missile are extremely huge.

Given Longguo’s current economic conditions, it’s likely that they won’t be able to afford even a few shots.

It's really funny that they didn't go bankrupt because of bombing, but were instead dragged into poverty by manufacturing weapons...

Therefore, based on the current actual situation, it is relatively appropriate to develop a high-performance anti-aircraft gun.

Indeed, as it stands now, anti-aircraft guns have limited effect against these high-altitude bombers.

But, that also has different models.

Even in his time, anti-aircraft guns were an indispensable part of Dragon's air defense system.

The reason why Jiang Chaoyang’s anti-aircraft guns are now unable to deal with the bald air force.

This is because the anti-aircraft guns they are using now are extremely old models that are almost obsolete.

such as.

They are now using DShK anti-aircraft machine guns.

This anti-aircraft machine gun was designed by the Soviet Union's firearms design master Degtyarev in the early 1930s and began to be equipped by the Soviet army in the late 1930s.

The characteristics of this gun are large caliber, long range and great power. It is very effective against enemy planes that dive, strafe or drop bombs.

However, the effective range of this gun is only 1500 meters. It is good for shooting down low-altitude aircraft, but it is basically useless against bombers dropping bombs at high altitudes.

And even if the air defense forces are better equipped.

The only equipment they have is the M193937MM anti-aircraft gun produced by the Russian Bear.

This anti-aircraft gun is a 37mm anti-aircraft gun developed by the Kalinin Factory based on the Swedish M34 40mm anti-aircraft gun.

It was officially finalized in 1939 and put into mass production in 1940. By 1945, the total output exceeded 18000 units.

This type of gun was the main light anti-aircraft weapon of the Soviet Army during World War II.

However, like the DShK heavy machine gun, its weakness is that its range is too short and it cannot pose a threat to high-altitude targets.

Otherwise, those bald air force would not have launched such an unscrupulous attack on the Demon City.

However, the anti-aircraft gun designed by Fang Yu is completely different from these.

This time, Fang Yu directly unlocked the Longguo PG99 towed twin-barrel 35mm anti-aircraft gun in the system.

As the most modern air defense weapon of the Dragon Kingdom, the power of PG99 cannot be compared with outdated weapons such as M1939.

The effective firing height of the M1939 is only around 2000 meters, and the firing rate is a pitiful 160-180 rounds per minute.

The anti-aircraft gun that Fang Yu wants to manufacture has an effective firing height of more than 3000 meters, and an effective slant range of 4000 meters!

Its firing rate is 550 rounds per minute for a single-barreled rifle and 900 rounds per minute for a double-barreled rifle, which absolutely crushes the M1939.

Moreover, compared to the M1939, it is more cumbersome and requires 8 gunners to operate simultaneously.

The PG99 anti-aircraft gun also has its own auxiliary power system, which only requires three gunners to operate, greatly saving manpower...

After hearing Fang Yu’s explanation.

The technicians who had doubted Fang Yu's decision at first couldn't help but nodded in conviction.

I have to say, Director Fang is really thoughtful after all.

Enhanced infrared-guided weapons are good, but with the current economic level of Dragon Country, it will become bankrupt after just a few shots.

Moreover, it is really not worth it to use such high-end weapons to deal with a group of bombers that still use propellers.

Fang Yu's solution cleverly balances practicality and economy.

This anti-aircraft gun is not only powerful enough to shoot down those bombers, but also has the characteristics of simple manufacturing and low cost.

It really kills two birds with one stone!

"Everyone finished reading, right? If you have any comments, feel free to ask!"

I saw a group of people not looking at the drawings, but looking at me.

Fang Yu asked slowly.

"No problem! Director Fang, the anti-aircraft gun you designed is already very mature!"

"Yes! Not only does it perfectly meet the requirements for shooting down bombers, but the manufacturing process is simple and can be mass-produced."

"At this stage, there is no better choice than this!"

Hearing Fang Yu's question.

A group of technicians nodded.

"Okay, in that case, I won't say much."

"We'll still follow the old rules. Each team will be responsible for casting different parts."

"I want to see the sample within ten days!"

"Comrades, do you have confidence?!"

"Have!"

Upon hearing this, a group of technicians roared with enthusiasm.

Then, under the leadership of their respective team leaders, they went to do their own work with great enthusiasm.

And, after distributing the tasks to everyone.

Fang Yu did not go back to his office to rest.

Instead, he turned around and went straight to workshop No. 2 and closed the door.

Incredibly mysterious, he was fiddling with something...
