If Dr. Wright had such an expression, he could still believe that Mr. Thomas had reacted a little too much?
What is this guy selling in the gourd? Qin Zhenhua was quite curious at this time.
"Yes, our company participated at that time and also watched the performance of the 85 tank. However, we have also heard of this 1,000-horsepower engine. A few years ago, when you visited Germany, did you?
A batch of MB-8V331 TC 41 civilian diesel engines produced by MTU were imported from Germany. The number was about ten at that time." Thomas said: "The power data is the same as the power data of the engine you introduced.
”
Hearing this, Qin Zhenhua suddenly understood that this guy was suspicious.
The performance of our 85 tank at that time shocked the audience and attracted the attention of the whole world. It was believed that the tank technology of the Eastern powers had suddenly reached the world's advanced level.
In terms of armor protection, this is incomparable. No one is willing to tell the truth. There are exaggerated and modest people. Only on the battlefield can the true meaning be seen. In terms of firepower, with a 125mm cannon barrel, it can already show the fierceness of firepower.
So, the main thing left is mobility.
Mobility is precisely the shortcomings of the Eastern powers. For a long time, Eastern powers have been backward in technology. Tanks have only 59 tanks' 12150L engines to continuously improve. Therefore, if you want to say that the Eastern power suddenly has a thousand.
They don't believe in horsepower diesel engines.
They would rather believe that this engine is from Germany.
Over the years, the Eastern Power and MTU Company have a close relationship. MTU Company's 396 diesel engine has sold hundreds of units in the Eastern Power, and the Eastern Power has also introduced a full set of technology. As for whether it can be produced, it won't be
knew.
However, they also introduced this 331 diesel engine at that time. Although this diesel engine is a civilian version, it is a power-reducing version of the diesel engine used in the German Leopard-2 tank. So, they want to doubt it, that is very
It's normal.
Hearing this, Qin Zhenhua smiled and said, "If you want to see our engine, then just talk, come on, open our engine cover and let them see it."
Back then, we had a project to survey and map the 331 diesel engine, and it was still the main project of the engine institute at that time. Unfortunately, because the mountain in the process could not be climbed, the imitation was not successful in the end. The so-called improvement and improvement were even more boasting.
That's all, the high-speed engine brings high heat is a big problem. From the basic principle, Qin Zhenhua doesn't have much optimism about this project.
At this time, Qin Zhenhua knew that the outside world was biased against the Eastern Powers. They did not believe it if the Eastern Powers could develop advanced tank engines. They only thought that the Eastern Powers' performance at that international defense exhibition was a kind of
Now, I even plan to come here to reveal my old secrets.
However, experts can see the door, just open it and let them take a look, and you can know the truth. In fact, if you don’t open the engine cover, just consider the size of the engine power chamber, you can also see the truth. It’s obviously small and plugged.
It's not as big as the engine.
Qin Zhenhua generously opened the hatch cover of the engine and exposed the engine inside: "The German engine is V-shaped with a 90-degree angle, and our engine is V-shaped with a 60-degree angle, everyone
They are all experts, let’s see if our engines are imported German engines.”
The hatch cover is opened and you can recognize it with just a glance. This has nothing to do with the German 331 engine, but it is more like the Soviet engine inherited.
Qin Zhenhua showed them openly: "We have been spared no effort to improve the power of the engine over the years. This engine has increased from the initial 520 horsepower to 580 horsepower, and later to 730 horsepower. Recently
In one or two years, we can operate stably to 1,000 horsepower. Compared with previous engines, we have made technological innovations in superchargers, high-pressure oil pumps, etc..”
So far, few countries in the world can manufacture advanced tank engines. It is not easy to output 1,000 horsepower stably. Looking at this engine, Dr. Wright sighed: "
Your technology is indeed good. It seems that you don’t plan to take the path of gas turbines?”
In fact, even in the United States, there are many people who reject gas turbines. It was only after Dr. Wright insisted that he finally got on the gas turbine.
The Eastern Power has actually increased the power of the diesel engine to 1,000 horsepower, which is really amazing.
And beside him, Thomas stared at the engine, looking back and forth repeatedly, his eyes rolling straight.
Originally, he thought this tank was on the engine of MTU. At that time, he had many reasons. For example, the United States also had good engines that could help them change their clothes. In this way, the project of this 85 tank was also
Get it, earn more profits, and can also access various technologies of the 85 tank.
However, he didn't expect that it wasn't a German engine, but he still didn't believe it if the tank engines of the Eastern powers could have stable output of 1,000 horsepower.
After turning his eyes a few times, he finally made up his mind: "According to technical data, the weight of this 85 tank is similar to that of our Jaguar tank, but on the engine, the engine of the 85 tank is obviously more advanced.
So, I really want to see who will win if I put two tanks together and have an acceleration race? Well, there is no need to go outdoors, I will see the space indoors enough."
This guy doesn't believe it yet, and wants to test himself! Qin Zhenhua thought to himself in his heart.
At the beginning, the other party thought that the engine of this tank was from the Germans and did not believe that it could be produced by oneself. But now, when the engine cover was opened, the other party saw it, the other party felt that its power was a false mark?
At the International Defense Exhibition, the German engine was used. Now it is displayed to them. The engine of the Eastern powers themselves, but this is a display, deliberately fooling Americans?
I guess that's how the other party thinks?
"How is it? Is it OK?" Thomas said: "If you don't dare, then forget it. After all, if our Jaguar tanks completely crush the 85 tanks, it would be not very good to spread."
