Chapter 968: Give military experts a big lesson! (End)

ps: I’m asking for monthly tickets, rewards, subscriptions, and various requests!

"The first principle of weapon design is simple. Why do I put simplicity first? There is a reason!" Lu Shan pointed at his son and told the story of more than 100 people below.

"Everyone knows that if two people duel, whoever takes a quick action will win the lead. This is the principle of starting first. How to ensure that they can start first before the opponent?" Lu Shan explained in a simple and easy way, "Take two swordsmen as an example. One of them holds a very sharp sword with exquisite workmanship and gorgeous decoration. He specially creates a scabbard inlaid with gems, while the other person holds a gray guy, which looks like a very iron stick, but although it is not good-looking, they are all made of the same material. The gorgeous and sharp private room also has a complex sword mechanism. As long as you press the button of the scabbard, the sword will pop up, and the opponent just wraps it with a cloth strip, not even a scabbard!

Everyone thinks that these two people are right. Who can win if their strengths are similar, does not consider human factors!"

"Of course it's the one with that sharp sword!"

"It's the one holding the black sword!"

"I think that sharp sword can pop out quickly and have a greater chance of winning..."

“…”

"Jing Yijing, listen to me, if the two of them reacted equally quickly in this competition, it must be the Black Sword man who won the competition in the end. The reason is very simple. He didn't need to draw the sword at all, so he directly waved the sword in his hand and stabbed it. The opponent had an extra sword drawing action. Although he set up a subtle mechanism to help reduce the time for him to draw the sword, the opponent didn't need it at all, so he lost!

What I want to say here is that no matter how sharp a sword is, how beautiful the scabbard is, how many gems are inlaid, or even how exquisite the mechanism is designed, they all ignore what the sword is used for? If it is just for decoration, it is another matter. If it is for fighting, then you will completely design and disadvantage. The opponent's black sword has nothing, just a sword, without scabbard, without gorgeous decoration, and it may not even have a crack, but he finally won the competition. Why, he is simple. Because the black sword in his hand is a weapon, and has no other use!

Therefore, simplicity means that even if you are a child, for gun design, a good gun must have the least parts and the easiest to keep, because many complex maintenance programs may not be able to do it one by one, especially in war situations. If the maintenance of weapons is too complicated, the service life will inevitably be greatly reduced and the damage rate of weapons will be greatly increased, which not only increases the logistics burden, but also poses a threat to the lives of soldiers!

Secondly, the gun has a simple structure, so the parts will not be complicated relatively, and it will be very helpful for processing and production, because it can save costs and improve production efficiency!

This is of great significance to our poor team!

Our gun designers often like to design a gun with the more complex and precise design, the better. In fact, there is no need for this. Of course, I am not saying that this is not good. In fact, as long as the responsible and precise gun is designed without obvious defects, it is a good gun, but if it is used, then people and costs must be considered!

If you can make two or three guns with a slightly worse performance at the cost of one gun, I think I will give up without hesitation.

Many very famous guns, although they are good at using, why are they abandoned by various countries?

This is practicality!

Take rifles as an example. Generally, the effective range is about 400 meters. Although it can be lethal after this distance, its lethality will be weakened. Most rifles in countries around the world are designed in this way.

It is not impossible to increase the range, but if the range is increased, many aspects need to be changed, such as the length of the barrel, the caliber, the loading amount of bullet and gunpowder, etc.

In this way, a gun may be much heavier than before, and the barrel of the original five thousand rounds of bullets may be scrapped after less than three thousand rounds!

In this way, the soldiers' weight load will be more difficult to use and their lifespan will be reduced. Although they can be driven farther, they are not practical.

The reason is very simple. No matter how good the shooting skills of ordinary soldiers are, it is very difficult to hit the gun outside 400 meters, so if you go outside 400 meters, it is basically a mess of the gun. It is best to hit the gun, and there is no way to hit it if you can hit it or not!

This type of gun can only be used by professionals, such as sharpshooters, who have good shooting skills and high hit rate, especially long-distance sniping. If this type of gun can be complicated, it can require precision, but ordinary soldiers cannot use guns like this.

Because this will drag them down!

At this moment, most people were listening attentively, and many people took out their notebooks and fountain pens were recording "rustling" on them. Some people who did not bring notebooks and paper and pens showed regretful expressions, looking at others recording enviously, showing a hint of longing.

So I ask every designer who designs guns. When designing a gun, you must consider whether it is designed for people, whether it is a policeman, an ordinary soldier, or a special combatant. These must be considered, because their requirements for the use of guns are different. A famous gun can be slightly changed and can be applied to multiple users. This means that your design has been a huge success!

Of course, it does not mean that all guns must be recognized by everyone or many people, and those who are recognized by users in a certain field will be successful!

Take our Wolf Teeth Special War Brigade for example. The weapons they use are currently mainly captured Japanese. But in the future, I plan to completely change them. What equipment should I change them with the equipment we developed and designed by ourselves, and they will change them from the inside to the outside. This task may be handed over to everyone you are doing to work together to complete!

Upon hearing this news, the military experts below all showed great interest and specially built equipment for a unit. This is probably no such precedent in the world.

The equipment of special forces covers not only weapons, but also many aspects, such as helmets, field dry food, sanitation, communications, combat clothing, backpacks, leather boots, daggers, etc. There are so many things!

Some of them are not difficult, Lu Shan has the production process of these things in his mind, and he can be produced by building a factory directly.

Some of them are troublesome, such as camouflage uniforms, where the fabric comes from, how can camouflage be produced, especially the camouflage formula. Even if you know, you can't get it without raw materials. Even if you use substitutes, you won't be able to find it in a short while.

The combat helmet, even though it is such a gadget, the Chinese people can't make it themselves now. They are all imported, mostly from Germany and Britain, and then they seized the Japanese from the battlefield.

Because it takes tens of thousands of tons of hydraulic equipment to be formed in one go, I don’t know whether Lu Shan has this thing in China now, but it will definitely not be used to produce helmets because it is too overused.

The last principle, this is also the most important and reliable. The gun is a part of the soldier's body. If there is a problem with the gun, the soldier's life will be threatened. Therefore, the gun must be reliable.

How to ensure reliability is repeated trials and repeated use, looking for possible failures, finding it, and solving it.

In this regard, it may be quite time-consuming and expensive, but this time and money cannot be saved. An unqualified gun is produced and sent to the soldiers. If it is lighter, it will affect the lives of the soldiers. The failure of a battle will be more serious, it will affect the fate of the country. If it is reversed, it will take more time and effort, and may be far more than we originally needed!

I also want to say one thing, maybe you know in your heart, that is, the user of the gun is human, and any gun is different when used in different people. This is why veterans do not like to use new guns, because they are familiar with and used to using them, and they have feelings for their guns. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone here that when designing, it is best to consider the usage habits of our soldiers, the mechanism of their palms, height and other factors!

OK, I'm finished!

After about half a minute of silence, the tide of applause rang out.

"Thank you everyone, thank you. I hope what I said will be helpful to everyone!" Lu Shan bowed and thanked.

"Mr. Lu's speech is really great. I really hope that Commander Lu can teach us more such lessons. We have found the direction for some of his suggestions, which is of great significance!" Ivanov walked up to the podium excitedly.

"I want to say to our researchers here that we have now become Chinese nationality. We must think about problems as a Chinese. Don't bring past habits into our work. Many people need to correct them. We are a collective and we need everyone's efforts to design better weapons!"

"For outstanding students, no matter what identity they have, which ethnic group they are, as long as they are willing to work hard and have excellent talents, we will focus on training them, and we can even send them abroad to study and further study. The institute may be just a passerby in your life, but I hope you can treat them as your own home, one!" Lu Shan continued to announce.

"ah!"

Lu Shan's promise was like a bombshell falling into the crowd under the podium. The researchers in their forties and fifties were naturally not on this, but the young people who were selected to study showed a glimmer of hope in their eyes!

I originally thought I was very lucky to join the research institute, but I didn’t expect that I would have the opportunity to study abroad. This is also the dream of many of them, and there are many things that I dare not think about.

"As long as you are doing well, you will have further opportunities. I hope everyone will work hard!"
Chapter completed!
