Chapter 10: I Want to Test Fire Across the Strait!
"Today, which test site do we choose?"
"The border in the south of Colorful Clouds?"
"......"
Chen Jin Chao spoke, hope glimmering in his eyes.
But it made Zhong Xian Chao fall silent.
The border in the south of Colorful Clouds?
What?
Do you want to recreate the glory of the self-defense counterattack against the monkeys, to scare the monkeys?
Needless to say, such an application is definitely not going to be approved.
"Choose another one, that place probably won't work."
"Then... the strait?"
"Right, releasing it at sea is pretty reasonable, after all, the range is far..."
Zhong Xian Chao, who didn't react at first, roared in shock the next sentence: "No, what's reasonable! The shortest distance between the mainland and the strait on the other side is only 130 kilometers! Our theoretical range exceeds 300 kilometers!"
"This isn't a rocket launcher test, we're going to make international news trouble!"
This won't work, that won't work, Chen Jin Chao was very hurt.
In the end, the test site for the Guardian Rocket Launcher was still chosen as a certain desert test site in the northwest.
After all, the Guardian Rocket Launcher's theoretical range exceeded 300 kilometers. Such a distance, if placed in some small countries abroad, could even cross the entire country to attack neighboring countries.
Even in China, there was no broader test site available.
After determining the test site, the test application was quickly submitted.
Originally, this was just an ordinary new rocket launcher test.
But perhaps because the theoretical data submitted was too exaggerated, the parent company, the Great Nation Arms Industry Group, dispatched a verification team, led by no one other than Mr. Zhong, the rocket launcher expert known as the 'Father of the Great Nation Katyusha'.
"Mr. Zhong's surname is Zhong, yours is Zhong too..."
"Yes, he's my grandfather."
Zhong Xian Chao's constipation-like expression made Chen Jin Chao exclaim, "Good heavens, no wonder he has firepower deficiency anxiety, it's hereditary."
And besides Mr. Zhong, there was also the Chief of Staff of the General Armament Department of the Army.
A staff officer doesn't come with a chief, even his farts won't make a sound.
The fact that the person who came brought a chief shows that the specification of this verification team is indeed high.
It's just right, the client and supplier are all here.
......
Time: September 15th.
A crisp and sunny morning.
Location: A certain desert restricted area under the jurisdiction of the Lanzhou Military Region.
On site, besides the research personnel who were busy preparing non-stop, there was also the verification team sent by the Great Nation Arms Industry Group.
Mr. Zhong, dressed plainly, and Chief of Staff Gong, with a star on his shoulder, were whispering, behind them was a group of people in administrative jackets, sitting uneasily and standing uneasily.
They didn't expect that the inspection team that came down this time would have such an absurdly high specification.
If they had known it was going to be this kind of inspection, they would have conducted a pre-test beforehand, so as not to be labelled as 'hastily eager' melon drop.
"Nonsense!"
"Can I not come?"
"If the new Guardian rocket launcher is truly successful, do you know what it means?"
"It means that our country's rocket artillery level will leap to the world's top! It will have a huge impact on the combat mode of our country's army! And to take it a step further, if we can make a foreign trade version, how much foreign exchange will this weapon bring in!"
"The range and power are comparable to short-range missiles, but it's not affected by the United Nations Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their Destruction, we can export without any pressure..."
The leader of the Great River Heavy Industries was given a severe scolding.
But how could he not know these meanings?
Even if he's in an administrative position, he's still sensitive to weapon parameters.
But damn it, who would take theoretical parameters as actual results?
"Why hasn't it started yet?"
From the cool morning, it gradually became noon.
The weather in the desert, like a girl's face during courtship, changes as it pleases, and the temperature rises in a flash, even the observers standing nearby started to sweat slightly.
Mr. Zhong was looking at the Guardian, which was already standing with an 8-meter launch box on an eight-wheeled heavy truck chassis not far away, lost in thought, but also a little puzzled as to why the test hadn't started yet.
"Jin Chao, is this set really going to work?"
"Isn't it too risky?"
"I see the sun is out, are the meteorological bureau comrades' predictions accurate?"
......
The temporary test command center, today's Zhong Xian Chao was clearly out of his element, lacking his usual craziness and calmness.
"Don't worry, it's definitely going to work."
"You don't trust me, but you don't trust the Guardian?"
The excitement and anticipation on Chen Jin Chao's face were about to overflow.
His eyes were fixed on the monitoring device brought by the comrades from the meteorological bureau beside him, as if waiting for something?
Waiting for what?
Waiting for the wind to come!
What kind of wind?
A tornado!!!
That's right, when deciding on the test site this time, Chen Jin Chao's strait proposal was rejected. This time, the test method for the new Guardian rocket launcher was decided by him.
And the test method he chose was unconventional!
It also reveals a crazy, no, manic air!
After confirming that a sandstorm tornado would occur in the desert today, he decided to launch the guided rockets into the center of the cloud!
