A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 498 Wow, this bouncy ball can really fly!

130mm rocket launcher?

Wait, shouldn't it be 107?

Jiang Xia moved closer to the old Jiefang and looked at the pile of launch tubes that looked like water pipes inside the carriage.

Hey, it's not that short, chubby guerrilla weapon after all.

The one in front of me is almost identical to the original Geryusha.

What a pity.

But Director Zeng misunderstood, and leaned close to Jiang Xia and whispered something.

"I'm so sorry, Engineer Jiang, I used the RPG-7 rocket launcher on the 130 without your permission. But don't worry, I reported it to the higher-ups, and the rocket's range is a full 20% longer than the original. You deserve all the credit!"

"Huh? This is universal? I really didn't think of that..."

Jiang Xia rubbed his chin. He didn't care much about the credit, but he wanted to ask Director Zeng if he had received the order from the logistics department, which had almost demanding requirements for rockets.

Yes, it's that famous "want and want" thing. I really don't know how many brain cells the predecessors lost to come up with something as almost monstrous as 107.

However, before he could say more than a few words, Director Zeng was anxiously summoned by General Bu Yi.

Perhaps the plan had been discussed beforehand, because Director Zeng first asked an excavator to clear a flat area. Then the old Jiefang truck drove up, wobbling along. The warhead of the rocket was removed, and a nylon wire was tied to it. The nylon wire coil on the ground had been stretched out quite a bit beforehand, and the coil's base was fixed inside the Jiefang truck's cargo compartment.

A group of people from Jiangxia squatted to one side, watching Director Zeng busy himself.

"Will this work? Is Comrade Fu being forced into a corner? Strike a rocket with a string attached?"

"Isn't this just like flying a kite?"

"Xiao Jiang, what do you think?"

"Sir, I'll sit and watch..."

Jiang Xia sat down casually on the ground and unfolded the scanner.

Good heavens, people's thinking these days is really wild. To achieve their goals, they'll use any means necessary. Such imaginative ideas...

Well, I don't think so. In later generations, there was a special device for defusing mines, and the principle was pretty much the same.

What's the range of the 130mm missile again? It's at least 10 kilometers, right? Let's look at the data displayed on the scanner... uh, it hasn't moved, so we can't see anything.

As for the specific parameters that Jiang Xia saw from the scanner, well, he won't tell you.

Anyway, the original version is extraordinary; the monkeys that were blown up and howled like dogs will tell you about its power.

"If that wire doesn't get burned through by the afterburner, judging from the current parameters, it really seems feasible. Hmm, I just don't know if the people on the other side of the mountain can find it..."

"It would be best to have a smoke generator to make it easier to find..."

"Huh? It's not inside the missile?"

Jiang Xia quickly dusted himself off and ran to the front of the car to gesture to Director Zeng. Director Zeng laughed and whispered a few words to Jiang Xia.

Hey!

It was all for nothing. It turns out that the other party had already taken this into account. The rocket's fuel was in two stages, and after it hit the ground, the remaining fuel would be ignited by the rocket's residual heat.

See? Our military engineers are quite capable. Although they only have a superficial understanding of the specific principles, they can come up with practical methods.

There's nothing more to say, let's just sit back and watch the show!

"Rocket ready! Aim properly! Fire!"

Whoosh...

Without counting down one, two, three, after aiming at the approximate location, the modified rocket shot out.

As the rocket ascended, the nylon line that had been deliberately left out was instantly taut, and the coil emitted the whooshing sound that anglers love.

"Oh...it really works?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The coil spun violently, sending up plumes of smoke.

"Oh no! Old Wang, the coil base is about to catch fire! Get some water and splash it over there! But don't get too close!"

Jiang Xia's pupils contracted, and he pulled Old Wang along, thinking of going to the river to fetch water.

"puff……"

Factory Director Zeng stood skillfully to the side of the coil, and a layer of powdery substance sprayed out from the light pink cylindrical object in his hand.

Fortunately, Jiangxia's scanner was still on. A quick scan revealed that it was spraying sodium bicarbonate! Hey, they even had these fire extinguishers ready. Factory Director Zeng really thought of everything!

"Hahaha, little Jiang, don't panic! Old Zeng has been through the wringer with the Indians, so this preparation is a piece of cake!"

"Don't worry, don't worry!"

"Director Zeng, you are the best!" Jiang Xia gave him a thumbs up without hesitation.

"It's safe! The rocket has crossed the river. Once the comrades on the other side find the rocket body, they can pull up the guidance cable!"

The general in plain clothes, holding a telescope, also had a look of delight on his face.

Hmm, we still need to carefully observe the landing point. This canyon isn't very big, but the paths inside are difficult to navigate. I'll have to remind the comrades later...

As the general in plain clothes pondered this, he subtly moved the telescope, and whoosh... the projectile flew past.

~(@^_^@)~, Excellent, excellent.

Whoosh... A round, irregularly shaped object was dragged along by the rocket.

~(@^_^@)~, Hehe, as expected of our own rocket, it can still fly even while dragging such a big lump.

Ok?

A lump?

The general looked back in the direction the thing had flown from...

What the hell... the coil was taken along with it!

what……

what……

Turning back to look at the launch vehicle, Director Zeng stared blankly, still holding the fire extinguisher in his hand, spraying white dry powder continuously.

The spot where the coil used to be fixed has now become a large hole...

"What the hell! A steel plate can be torn apart like that?"

Haha, with a steel plate dragging along, of course it can't fly...

The rocket, pulled in mid-air, crashed down from the sky with a thud.

It fell into the river, made a few bubbles, and then disappeared without a trace.

"Gah..."

"Gah..."

Startled crows in the mountains on the opposite bank flew out of the ridge, circling in the air and cawing loudly.

"Snapped……"

The general in plain clothes, his face contorted with rage, slammed down the five or six pieces of paper he was holding:

"Pah! That's an awful way to say it!"
