Chapter 312 - Chapter 312: Chapter 215: Becoming a Real-Life Arms Tycoon! (5000-Word Chapter) (2/2)
[Finals: This stage will be judged offline, fully live-streamed. Physical development participants need to construct the weapon with detailed blueprints; conceptual design participants need to produce blueprints (not necessarily detailed) and explain the design principles, etc.]
[…]
Lin Chuan read carefully—true to form for an official event, every detail was well thought out.
“Chairman, if you make it to the finals, doesn’t that mean you’ll have to go in-person?” asked Little Landlady curiously.
Shen Qianqian burst into a giggle: “Xinxin, Comrade Lin Chuan’s Rocket Launcher isn’t even ready yet.”
“Still, I think you’ll at least make it into the finals!” Little Landlady said with a toothy grin.
Shen Qianqian glanced at Lin Chuan and nodded, “If it’s conceptual design, Comrade Lin Chuan could not only make it to the finals but possibly even win a prize.”
“Officer Shen, you’re teasing me again.”
Lin Chuan’s face darkened as he began to enter his registration information on his phone, “But I’ve chosen the physical development category.”
“Hmm…”
Shen Qianqian pursed her lips, “I just checked, and it seems that Rocket Launchers aren’t that simple. Even the most basic Rocket Launcher requires principles of ‘rocket propulsion’ and ‘electromagnetic drive systems’.”
“What are those principles?” asked Little Landlady, still clueless.
“It’s complicated to explain, and I don’t quite understand it either,” Shen Qianqian said, her lips pursed, offering an awkward smile.
She knew more about firearms.
Because that’s what she often encountered in her daily work and was required for her professional skills.
As for Rocket Launchers.
That was far too remote for her.
And it went without saying for Zhang Xinxin; she would probably never come across one in her lifetime.
“Explaining isn’t that complicated,” Lin Chuan chuckled.
At this, the girls both looked at Lin Chuan, simultaneously furrowing their brows, a hint of confusion forming on their faces.
Lin Chuan picked up his cup, took a sip of water, and then explained, “The basic principle of rocket propulsion is actually quite simple—it generates thrust through the expulsion of high-speed jets.”
“Simple, you say?”
Little Landlady stared at Shen Qianqian next to her, dumbstruck.
After considering for a moment, Shen Qianqian replied to Little Landlady, “It sounds simple when you say it.”
Lin Chuan laughed again and continued, “Xinxin, you didn’t really pay attention in high school physics, did you?”
Little Landlady pouted and simply said, “Old Zhang said, you don’t need to learn too much stuff, being happy is all that matters.”
“Old Zhang just got a scapegoat, but he’s right,” said Lin Chuan with a laugh.
Little Landlady grinned and said, “Chairman, now you can make up for my high school physics.”
“I also want to hear the expert opinion of you, the Rocket Launcher specialist,” Shen Qianqian added with a smile.
“Sure,” Lin Chuan nodded and laughed, “To take the simple Rocket Launcher you just mentioned as an example, it utilizes the combustion of propellant to produce high-temperature, high-pressure gas, which is expelled through the rocket nozzle. This allows the Rocket Launcher to fire a large number of rockets in a very short time, conducting surprise attacks on large area targets at long distances. That should be easy enough to understand, right?”
