Chapter 567 Shut up!
"Jiang, are you done with your work?"
Jiang Xia turned around and chuckled, "Instructor, are you done with your work?"
"Hmm! Could you tell me more about digital radio?" The instructor said, pointing to the headset that Jiang Xia was still wearing.
Jiang Xia reluctantly took off the headset. To be honest, the battalion commander in the headset kept saying things like, "Hang me on top of the missile, hang me on the tail fin of the missile, or strap me to the missile body."
Hey, can't you come up with a more creative term? All you do is talk about missiles all the time; even a fool knows what you guys do…
However, Xiao Dai Mao was quite happy to hear him praise Jiang Xia.
Hey, that sounds good, say more!
Seeing that the intermittent call could still be heard even after the headset was removed, the instructor sighed again.
"This is still inland. I really can't imagine how dangerous it is for the soldiers on the border. Maybe they think they are well hidden, but they still have to contact and report to their superiors!"
"Wouldn't this report immediately expose our deception?"
"This missile battalion has a relatively strong sense of secrecy; they don't casually report their specific locations. You don't know, some rank-and-file soldiers will expose themselves completely during communication..."
The instructor cleared his throat and gave Jiang Xia a live performance:
"Radish, radish, I'm a green onion, and I'm lying in the vegetable garden 500 meters away from you, disguised perfectly! The opposing team definitely won't know I'm hiding here!"
"Hey, I'm digging an underground bunker a kilometer ahead of you. So when you're playing with your little mountain cannon, don't end up taking me down with you..."
His slightly accented words amused Jiang Xia, but he couldn't laugh out loud like he did in front of Lao Wang, which made Jiang Xia extremely uncomfortable.
"Hey, laugh if you want! This is the current state of communication at the grassroots level."
"However, human radio is still more reliable. The 'secret code' circulating in the army is still useful, but it takes too long to translate. When our operators receive a telegram, even a simple one takes ten minutes to complete, which delays our battle!"
Tsk, Jiang Xia looked at the instructor and couldn't help but admire how strong our team really is. As soon as an instructor discovered a problem, he kept thinking about how to solve it, without any of the behavior of waiting, relying on others, or asking for help.
No wonder you've become the best...
"Don't worry, when Old Wang comes back, he'll assemble one for you to try out. By the way, you guys have radios with you now, right?"
"Yes, sir! Two battalion-level radios, several individual radios, and some wired telephones!"
The instructor straightened his back: "If we're talking about reliability, landline phones are more reliable, but that area is sparsely populated, and no matter how long the line is, it won't be enough!"
"Hey, you mean, when Old Wang comes back, you'll assemble it?"
"Hmm! If you don't mind my rough cooking..."
"Don't tell me! You don't know, those guns you personally trained are the most sought-after items in the team!"
As he spoke, the instructor pulled out the "Type 63" automatic rifle that was actually being finalized this year, which he was carrying on his back: "Look, this little guy is extremely accurate! Only the top three in the competition are qualified to use it!"
"Hey, it's really strange. I don't know how you did it, but this little guy never gets stuck! Even if he were to do an armed swim, you could just grab him and carry him!"
Jiang Xia touched the gun barrel and thought, "How could it not work well? These standard versions use newly developed alloy steel, which is even better than the material used for the cannon barrels sent to the grassland tractor factory."
High-alloy chromium-molybdenum steel is a product of a special metallurgical plant in Northeast China, which was tormented to the point of near death by Jiangxia.
Based on the "exhaustion records" left by Jiangxia, factories in Northeast China have already deduced the manufacturing process for this steel and produced small batches of this special alloy steel.
However, due to a lack of processing machinery, the output was not high. Apart from the 63 rifle family of machine guns, which luxuriously used this steel, the remaining amount was only enough for them to tinker with a few "core guns" as the benchmark.
One test, and wow, it blows away all the gun barrel steel currently on the market...
The chief designer of the 63 rifle family was furious. If it weren't against regulations, he and his team would have packed their bedding and gone to that special factory to sleep on the floor.
Well, although they couldn't sleep on the floor, people of this era were all the type to dare to think and act. Once they got their train tickets, they still went for it.
"We won't leave until we receive enough steel!"
The special metallurgical plant worker looked distressed: "Do you think I'm unwilling to do more? Damn it, the equipment isn't up to par, what can I do?"
What equipment?
"Vacuum pump! If the vacuum level can't be raised, the refining process becomes uncontrollable, and without control, it's impossible to add suitable alloying elements like ferrochrome and ferromolybdenum..."
"Hey!" The metallurgical plant leader sneered at the 63rd designer in the factory: "Making a fuss over us is useless! We might as well go find that person. Others have already built the cold drawing production line, and this is just a mere vacuum pump..."
As he spoke, the leader, having somehow learned this technique, placed his palm on his head and began to move his fingers in a seductive manner...
The designer of the 63-gun had a sudden inspiration and immediately called Jiang Xia from the phone.
Upon receiving the call, Jiang Xia, thanks to the efforts of several top-tier researchers, had just perfected the physical model of the "laser rangefinder" and was working with relevant personnel to improve production equipment and processes.
Hearing the other end mention vacuum pumps made him laugh. Wasn't that one of the problems that the thermos factory had encountered? So, he directly sent over the combined centrifuge that he had developed for the "double-slit interference experiment" and that could achieve a supergravity field.
Although this was just a prototype and required water to be added to the tank from time to time before it could be used, it was perfectly suited for an old vacuum furnace.
Anyway, at this point, everyone's a junk collector; as long as we can piece things together to achieve our goal, that's fine!
Mass production of high-alloy chromium-molybdenum steel has been achieved! Although it's not like the production of tens of tons at a time when the furnace is opened in later generations, it's still enough for the border troops to replace their equipment, and if the production schedule is rushed a little, it's sufficient.
After hearing Jiang Xia's explanation, the instructor became excited again: "You mean that the troops we're going to relieve will be able to use these advanced guns first?"
After receiving Jiang Xia's affirmative reply, the instructor started grinning foolishly. As he grinned, his head began to nod repeatedly downwards.
Hey, our soldiers are so cute, they get so excited about the slightest new thing... Later, Boss Lu adopted the tradition of having to hang banners on a batch of tricycles and requiring everyone in the photo to show eight teeth. Is this where it all started?
Jiang Xia, seeing that the instructor was about to give up, advised him to take a rest, as it would be a while before Old Wang returned.
The instructor had been studying all night and was exhausted. Hearing this, he greeted Jiang Xia, found a tent, and crawled inside. Soon, he was snoring loudly.
Jiang Xia found a sheltered spot and started fiddling with the strange listening device. After adjusting it, he received communications between a missile battalion.
"Squad leaders, leave your personnel on duty, the rest of you come to the battalion headquarters."
"Oh! Battalion Commander, could you wait a moment? The launch pad is still being deployed over here..."
Well, as soon as the words "launch pad" were uttered, the entire communication went silent for a moment.
"battalion commander?"
"Grow my ass! You're my dad, my living dad! Dad, shut up! Get over here right now!"
