Under the command of Chief Engineer Li Rong, the rocket launcher production line of the Red Flag Military Factory was built in just a week.
All the spare parts were quickly gathered.
Rockets, simple optical sights, brake components, firing machine components, ignition, grip, safety, and so on.
Other than the expensive rockets, all the parts were disposable and very cheap.
Of course, the rockets were also produced by the Red Flag Military Factory itself, and the cost control was also quite good.
And the key shell material of the rocket launcher, rubber fiber reinforced glass, was finally produced.
Cao Demao brought a batch of standard rocket launcher shells to the Red Flag Military Factory.
"Old Cao, you got it out so quickly?”
Li Rong was surprised.
"Of course. How can I not care about the big business of Red Flag Factory? I have tested the performance of the 100 glass reinforced plastic shells of the rocket launchers here!
Add gunpowder and test it again.”
Cao Demao was pleased.
If the performance of this batch of glass fiber reinforced plastic was up to standard, Fuqi Glass Factory would have a huge order and would be completely successful.
...
Very soon,
The first batch of 10 Type-8 rocket launchers for performance testing was rolled off the production line.
Su Chen, the factory manager Liu Guoliang, Chief Engineer Li Rong, Director Wang Yan, the glass factory manager Cao Demao, and a group of dozens of technical backbones came to the shooting range at the back of the mountain to test the power of the Type 8 rocket launcher.
In the shooting range behind the Red Flag Factory, a cement and red brick bunker for testing had been built in advance.
The bunker was ten meters long and wide.
Before the cement and red bricks were mixed together, the wall was one meter thick.
The firing mouth of the bunker was only half a foot wide.
A small fortress that could accommodate a class of soldiers.
What was the concept of one meter thick?
Most of the walls in the city were only one foot thick. Only the supporting pillars of high-rise buildings could reach a meter thick level.
The thick and heavy outer shell made the fortress look like a turtle shell, able to withstand most of the attacks from the outside.
This kind of defense was hard to penetrate by most firearms and light cannons.
Even a sniper grenade would only leave a dent on a concrete brick wall. Unless it was equipped with a particularly powerful armor-piercing bullet, it would not be able to damage this heavy bunker.
Everyone squatted on the ground 300 meters away from the bunker.
Because the gunpowder in the rocket launcher was too heavy, it was difficult for the rocket launcher to shoot too far.
"Isn't a one-meter thick concrete red brick wall too thick?
With such defensive power, one would normally need to mobilize a heavy grenade cannon to blast it open!”
Chief Physician Wang Yan was speechless when he saw this.
Heavy howitzers were already at the level of a company or battalion. Only then would it be suitable to deal with such a thick and heavy fortress.
It was very difficult to achieve such terrifying firepower at the squad or platoon level.
And now…
Su Chen's request was for a single soldier's firepower.
That's right, it wasn't the firepower of a squad, but the firepower of a single soldier, to blow up such a bunker.
Any single soldier with a Type 8 rocket launcher on his back could take out such a heavy bunker.
This kind of firepower configuration made Liu Guoliang, Wang Yan, Li Rong, and the other veteran military workers feel their scalps go numb.
At the same time, he was extremely excited.
If a single-use Type 8 rocket launcher could really achieve such a performance index…
That would be a huge boost to the firepower of the infantry in China. If a squad of infantrymen were to be dragged out, the enemy tanks would probably have to take a detour out of guilt.
...
"If you're ready, let's test it!"
Su Chen said.
A tester from the military factory carried a Type 8 rocket launcher weighing about 15 pounds on his shoulder. He aimed at the heavy bunker 300 meters away with a simple optical scope.
"Fire!"
Su Chen ordered.
"Whoosh!"
A beam of light shot out from the Type 8 rocket launcher and flew 300 meters away at an extremely fast speed.
The rocket landed on the wall of the bunker.
It directly pierced through the one-meter-thick concrete brick wall.
"Boom ~~~!"
The entire interior of the fortress was filled with flames.
The cover of the bunker was almost lifted, and a large amount of smoke and dust rose from the explosion.
In the distance, everyone from the Red Flag Military Factory was stunned.
F * ck!
The power of the Type 8 rocket launcher was too powerful.
"It's done. It actually succeeded!”
Li Rong gulped, his face flushed with excitement.
The power of this rocket launcher was not inferior to many rocket launchers at home and abroad.
The most important thing was that its manufacturing cost had been greatly reduced. It was only 10,000 Chinese dollars for domestic sales, which was too cheap. It was only one-tenth of the cost of other rocket launchers.
Perhaps, there was really hope to realize the military concept of " every soldier has a Type 8 rocket launcher " that Su Chen had mentioned.
...
Su Chen picked up the shell of the rocket launcher that had just been fired. After being heated by the high temperature of the gunpowder, it was a little hot, but it was still not damaged.
Even if it was fired one or two more times, it would not break.
For a one-time use product, it was completely qualified and sufficient.
Of course, the shell of the rocket launcher was cheap, only a hundred yuan. There was no need to save money.
"Yes, a single-use rocket launcher. Its performance meets the design requirements.
With such firepower, a single soldier would be able to deal with most bunkers, tanks, and armors!
Shan Bing had a sniper cannon and a Type 8 rocket launcher in his hands. Basically, sniping could cover a range of 1,000 meters and heavy firepower could cover 300 meters, reaching the limit of individual firepower.”
Su Chen nodded in satisfaction.
He was satisfied. This meant that the Type 8 rocket launcher had been successfully developed.
All that was left was to find a domestic and foreign firearms outlet and sell the goods.
He was never worried about sales.
This kind of internet celebrity firearms would still be popular twenty to thirty years later. Moreover, in the 1990s, where most firearms were not very advanced.
"Comrade Su Chen, design the second firearm for our Red Flag Army factory.
I hereby announce that the Type 8 80mm Single Soldier Rocket Launcher project has been officially developed!
Our Red Flag Factory has another firearms project!”
Director Liu Guoliang announced excitedly.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations, Comrade Su Chen!"
"No, no, this is the result of everyone's hard work!”
"Let's go back and celebrate!"
The technicians of the Red Flag Military Factory cheered.
The second project, the rocket launcher, was launched. This meant that Red Flag Factory had another firearms project on its list. The industry began to extend and there were more jobs.
" Factory Manager, the military is calling! The sniper cannon had passed the military's emergency review! We need to sign a purchase contract."
"Let's go back quickly!"
