"When it comes to the best tanks in Europe, Germany's Leopard 2 is the best."
Song Weize brought a few people to the maintenance workshop again. After Qin Zhenhua moved the bedroll to the maintenance workshop, he never moved it out again. Apart from anything else, he just tapped on the computer of the CNC machine tool every day, which made him very happy.
A sense of accomplishment.
But now, when a few people approached and heard the high-level talk inside, they were still stunned.
Germany, Leopard 2? It sounds like you have seen it. How much do you know?
"During World War II, German tanks relied on quality to win. They simply did not compete with their opponents in terms of quantity. Often dozens of T-34 tanks could only defeat one King Tiger tank. They still follow this concept now.
, win with quality.”
Huh, what's the use? The quality is not enough, the quantity is small, we have a large number of 59 tanks, what are we afraid of? Du Youwen thought to himself.
"We only have 59 or 69 now. If we encounter Leopard 2 on the battlefield, we don't know how many tank soldiers will have to sacrifice. For our tank factory, this is out-and-out murder, killing the tank soldiers.
, is our own arrogance and ignorance."
When he heard this, Song Weize was immediately shocked. This sentence had appeared in a meeting within the ministry. The old leader who spoke at that time was heartbroken, just like the conflict on the northern border. Regardless of
No matter how you try, you just can't break through other people's tanks. At that time, the soldiers on the front line were fighting with their lives.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about Leopard 2 first. I think the biggest feature of this tank is its engine. The German craftsmanship spirit and the manufacturing concept of excellence are completely reflected in this engine. Guess
Guess how much horsepower it has?"
"I guess seven hundred horsepower."
"No, I guess a thousand."
"One thousand, how is that possible? No, nine hundred would be good."
"It seems that everyone can't believe it. Their engine has 1,500 horsepower!"
"Then, is it too much?"
There are more than one or two people talking, at least five or six, or even more. What are they doing in the maintenance workshop?
Song Weize walked into the maintenance workshop. In a corner of the workshop, there was a small blackboard. In front of the small blackboard, Qin Zhenhua was explaining incessantly, and below, sitting with a small horse.
Yes, they are all master craftsmen in the maintenance workshop!
What are they doing?
Is this a lecture?
They go to work during the day and don't go home at night. They actually take time to listen to Qin Zhenhua's lectures! These masters are actually working hard to learn cultural knowledge?
At this time, there was a diagram drawn on the small blackboard. It was too far to see clearly, but the lines were so clear that it was clearly the mechanism diagram of an engine.
Sure enough, Qin Zhenhua started explaining the structure diagram: "Of course, if the net power is 1,500 horsepower, it is not appropriate because it needs to dissipate heat. I explained to you last time that the engine
The thermal efficiency is about 30%, and the rest is dissipated. Of course, our engine must also dissipate heat. The Leopard 2’s 1,500 horsepower requires more than 200 horsepower to be consumed in the cooling system.
, this is one of its disadvantages. Coupled with the loss of the transmission system, the final power transmitted to the track can exceed one thousand horsepower, which is beyond our reach. Now, let’s take a closer look at the characteristics of this engine
The specific structure is from the materials I just borrowed today."
Qin Zhenhua is now not only studying on his own, but also wants to lead the entire maintenance workshop to improve. He has even begun to popularize Western tank knowledge. With these latest information, of course, relying on these information, just
It is impossible to create it by relying on these simple materials only if you understand the principle.
Technology is a big obstacle. Now, they are still looking for a breakthrough in the transmission casing casting process. What is the purpose of such talk on paper?
Is this Qin Zhenhua really planning to turn their maintenance workshop into a research and development room, and then let the research and development room repair tanks? An ominous sense of crisis arose in Song Weize's heart.
Just as he stopped at the door, Du Youwen had already walked up with a sneer: "Joke, one thousand horsepower drives a tank of more than 60 tons. We have 500 horsepower and drive a tank of more than 30 tons.
What's the difference?"
Originally he was asking for advice, but when he heard Qin Zhenhua praising how advanced foreign countries were and comparing them with some paper data, Du Youwen became dissatisfied and couldn't help but start sarcastic again.
On average, isn't it about the same?
Of course it's much different. Our 500 horsepower is also the total power. How much can we get if we put it on the crawler tracks?
Seeing Du Youwen's sudden appearance, Qin Zhenhua's explanation was interrupted, and he couldn't help but frown: "For such disruptive behavior in the classroom, he should have been kicked out. He wasted everyone's precious time, but what?
, I’ll just waste a few minutes here and treat it as a comparison for everyone.”
After speaking, Qin Zhenhua asked Du Youwen: "If there is no difference, how long does it take for our tank to accelerate from zero to 32 kilometers per hour?"
How long does it take? If you are quick and skilled, twenty seconds is about right?
"22 seconds." Qin Zhenhua said: "This is the data in the technical manual. Look at the tank here. It only takes 7 seconds to complete the same acceleration action. In 7 seconds, it can start from standstill to
This speed means that after discovering the artillery shells coming from the opposite side, you can dodge them as long as you activate them! Can our tanks do this?"
Du Youwen stopped talking.
"Besides, when it comes to tank power systems, one plus one equals two is the stupidest calculation. A sixty-ton tank can carry a 120-mm gun barrel and 42 rounds of ammunition. A thirty-ton tank, okay?
?"
"In terms of protection, this is top secret in all countries, and the data obtained is definitely not true. However, as a sharp weapon for a head-on confrontation with Soviet tanks, no matter how bad it is, the turret can still have a protection level of 500 mm, right? We are thirty
A ton tank, how thick is it?”
After a few questions, Du Youwen stopped talking, because what Qin Zhenhua said is indeed the truth. If a sixty-ton tank can be as powerful as a thirty-ton tank, it will have absolute advantages in other aspects!
"Okay, let's continue to explain the design features of this engine. I will read directly from the information." Qin Zhenhua stopped paying attention to these uninvited guests and continued to explain the information he just received today.
Song Weize stood there, feeling a little embarrassed. The purpose of coming was to ask Qin Zhenhua to translate the materials, but he was teaching so many people, so he couldn't interrupt, right?
Wait, are there a lot of people? Some of them are from other workshops? Yes, isn’t that fat one Yu Changhong?
