Chapter 266 Single-hole tubular double-base powder formula
"Friends of Dual-Use Military and Civilian Talents", which is known as one of the three great books of time travelers, was naturally sent for plate making and printing immediately after being materialized by Zhang Chi.
Of course, Zhang Chi would not print the entire book directly. Instead, he would print the parts about how to shoot, shoot down planes, ambush tanks, and identify mines into booklets and distribute them to the entire army as military science popularization materials.
As for the knowledge on agriculture, industry, handicrafts, electricity, etc., it was handed over to the education department and printed into elementary popular science books in different categories and sold to the people throughout Bago at subsidized prices.
The MG42 general-purpose machine gun design drawings were sent to the First Firearms Institute for technical preparation.
In the current military construction ideas of the Anmin Army, all infantry combat revolves around half-track vehicles, Lynx vehicles and tanks, unlike the Hans Wehrmacht which uses machine guns as the core of combat.
Therefore, even though the MG42 general-purpose machine gun that uses 7.92 bullets has the advantages of portability, high rate of fire, and easy production, why should the army have another caliber of bullets just for these reasons?
After careful consideration, Zhang Chi reluctantly gave up the direct use of MG42. Instead, he asked the First Firearms Institute to take the future MG3 general-purpose machine gun as the target. Based on the MG42 drawings, he improved a machine gun that used 7.62mm White Eagle bullets as soon as possible.
As for the lucky draw reward after killing the major general, "Single-pore tubular double-base propellant formula?" Zhang Chi muttered to himself, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He had never heard of this seemingly unfamiliar technical formula.
"System, redeem this reward immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, the air in Zhang Chi's hands seemed to surge, and then he felt a strange feeling.
He looked down and saw a thick manual appear in his hand out of thin air.
In the command room, which was empty except for himself, Zhang Chi just held the manual that appeared out of nowhere and began to read it.
The thick manual contains several parts including technical principles and indicators, large-scale production processes, usage examples, etc.
Although Zhang Chi is not a chemistry expert, with his years of combat experience and the knowledge accumulated from various experts around him, he soon realized that the value of this formula far exceeded his expectations.
After a while, Zhang Chi put down the manual, raised his head, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes.
"Great, I understand everything now!"
Of course, Zhang Chi did not become an omniscient and omnipotent God. He just roughly understood what this single-hole tubular double-base propellant was.
这是毛子未来在70年代更新的新式7.62x39与5.45x39子弹的发射药！
Before, even if Zhang Chi wanted to develop an intermediate-power bullet, the biggest problem that prevented him from succeeding immediately was that the existing propellant was not good enough.
Whether it is the M43 7.62mm short bullet used by AK or the NATO 5.56mm rifle bullet used by M16, it is certainly not made by simply making the bullet smaller and shortening the barrel.
If the cartridge is simply shortened, the initial velocity and ballistic performance of the bullet will be greatly reduced due to the reduced amount of propellant. The 7.92 Mauser short bullet used in the Hans STG44 assault rifle is a typical manifestation of this problem.
The STG44 eventually replaced the submachine gun in the army, not the rifle. When Private Hans was shooting at the Soviets in the wilds of Eastern Europe, he still had to rely on weapons such as 98K, G43, and MG42 that used full-power rifle bullets.
(By the way, the concept of the STG44 assault rifle was groundbreaking, but due to the poor performance of the 7.92 Mauser short round, it actually didn’t have the legendary capabilities that the internet claims.)
Now, with this new type of single-hole tubular single-base propellant, miniaturization of ammunition will no longer be a problem.
Even if the caliber is reduced, the gun barrel is shortened, and a new double-base propellant with a higher unit energy level is used, the performance of the bullet will not be greatly reduced within a distance of 600 meters.
This is undoubtedly a huge technological breakthrough for the future development of assault rifles.
(The bullet issue is too technical, the potato ability is effective, so I will just briefly write about it here)
"This is going to be a good thing." Zhang Chi smiled to himself.
He knew very well that in future wars, especially in infantry battles, the army that could master this new type of propellant would definitely have a huge advantage.
Moreover, the popularization of this technology will inevitably lead to a revolution in the entire military equipment, causing earth-shaking changes in the pattern of war, and the Anmin Army will undoubtedly take the lead in this revolution in military equipment.
Before Zhang Chi could recover from the surprise of obtaining propellant, another piece of good news arrived.
[Ding, congratulations to the host's soldiers for killing an enemy lieutenant general. Reward the host with a copy of the "World Resources Atlas (66 Edition)"]
Another lieutenant general was killed?
After hearing the system prompt, Zhang Chi quickly determined that this must be a search team that caught a big fish among the Japanese.
After all, the Saka puppet army organized by the devils only had a few major generals, and no puppet soldiers with the rank of lieutenant general.
Therefore, if the lieutenant general was killed, he was most likely the Japanese division commander.
Is it from the 2nd Guards Division or the 18th Division?
The commander of the 55th Division was driven to the Triangle Area to be a savage, and the commander of the 2nd Division fled back to Yangon in the chaos. Now the only ones trapped in the mountains and jungles are officers of all ranks of the 2nd and 18th Guards Divisions.
Zhang Chi didn't believe that they had already run back to Yangon or Vientiane, Laos. After all, if a high-ranking official of this level returned, the Japanese would definitely publicize it widely. But now these officers are still "missing" in the official Japanese accounts.
Shaking his head, Zhang Chi no longer worried about which "futures dead man" had his position closed out at maturity. After all, his dear Chief of Staff Tan Zhijie would help him figure it out after the war, right?
"System, please redeem this reward as well."
Soon, another thick color-printed atlas appeared in Zhang Chi's hands, with the words "Harvard University Press" written in beautiful cursive on the cover.
Obviously, this is a publication belonging to Harvard University. I wonder which parallel world the system picked it up from?
After opening the cover and quickly finding the page number for Burma in the table of contents, Zhang Chi quickly turned to the corresponding page, and a full-color map of Burma immediately appeared in front of him.
Zhang Chi glanced at it casually, then quickly looked at the text summary next to it:
Gold reserves: 2500 tons
Silver reserves: 6700 tons
Iron ore reserves: more than 4000 million tons
Copper reserves: more than 5000 million tons
Oil reserves: 4 million barrels
Natural gas reserves: 1000 billion cubic meters
(This is a parallel world, the data fluctuates, so please do not take it personally)
Although it was only the 66 edition of the atlas, Zhang Chi was still excited about the rich explored reserves.
