The previous 122 three-fluid prototype ended in failure. The technical conditions at the time were simply not enough to support such a modern tank, but the troops would never give up.
After all, the foundation of the 59 tank is there. It is not easy to develop it. The chassis must be enlarged to accommodate larger-caliber artillery, more powerful engines, and thicker armor protection. In short, these are all
is required.
The purpose of surveying and mapping the transmission system of the imitated M48 tank this time is actually to reserve technology. Moreover, Luo Rongen once mentioned that day that the research and development of the second-generation tank is being demonstrated, so it is estimated that it will be issued soon.
It's just that at that time, if the task is handed down from the superiors, it will definitely be undertaken by the R&D department. This is the situation that Qin Zhenhua least wants to see.
The people in the R&D room were not technically good at all. They were not as good as his own maintenance workshop, so Qin Zhenhua took action.
Bypass the factory and go directly to the army to talk!
This is not the first time. The previous hydraulic torque converter was modified to an existing tank for testing, as well as the recent improvement of armor-piercing projectiles. It is a process like this. So now, Qin Zhenhua's tone is naturally louder.
I want to take over the research and development task of the new second-generation tank.
Such lofty goals naturally cannot be accepted by the leader. When the leader questioned it, Qin Zhenhua immediately changed his mind. It is okay for us to develop some of these components, right?
Sure enough, this time the old man did not object again: "Well, but currently, what you need most is firepower. I'll wait for the 400 mm penetration depth you mentioned!"
"Uncle, this tank gun must not only shoot far and deep, but also accurately." Qin Zhenhua said: "The tanks in our army now only rely on visual aiming, and they can't even shoot while moving."
We don’t even have the ability. Our aiming methods haven’t changed in years, and we can’t keep up with the world’s trends.”
The last time the old man went to the tank factory, he saw Qin Zhenhua adjusting the artillery. Qin Zhenhua did it so easily at that time. In addition to being willing to use his brain, the optical sighting device of the artillery has not changed for many years, which is also a big problem. The one used now is
It is almost the same method as during World War II, except that distance measurement is no longer estimated and a laser rangefinder is used.
There are no atmospheric data sensors, ballistic computers, bi-stable systems, etc. It doesn't even have the ability to shoot while moving. Look at the 59 tank training. It starts for a while, stops, fires a shot, and then moves forward. How far behind will it be?
How backward.
These are all important considerations.
"Yes, we all need to pay attention to these things." Luo Ronggen said with great feeling.
………
While Qin Zhenhua was test-firing the newly processed armor-piercing projectiles at the exercise range, the No. 1 Machinery Factory also held a regular weekly factory affairs meeting.
"Old Song, what's going on over there?" Ma Panshan asked Song Weize. After hearing the factory director's question, Song Weize looked worried: "Now, we have found the cause of the fault, and the transmission casing still needs to be cast.
For the special lubricating oil circuit, we are currently studying the technology and hope to solve it as soon as possible."
Ma Panshan nodded: "We must seize the time. There is still one week before the time set by our superiors. We must produce results to prove our R&D capabilities to our superiors. This is a major matter related to the honor of the entire factory. We cannot
If any problem arises, I'm the one who took care of it, so don't let me down."
"Yes, yes." Song Weize replied repeatedly. At this time, how could Song Weize dare to say no?
"Are there any difficulties?" Ma Panshan looked at Song Weize's expression and asked again.
Difficulties? The factory is fully supportive, giving people and things, except...
"Director Ma, that Qin Zhenhua has gone on a business trip. Can the factory issue a transfer order to bring him back?" Song Weize said to Ma Panshan.
When he discovered that Qin Zhenhua had run away, Song Weize was very annoyed. Later, when he checked, he found out that they followed formal procedures. Although an apprentice did not need Ma Panshan's approval for a business trip, Ma Panshan was responsible for the business trip.
signed.
"Old Zhao, what's going on?" Ma Panshan looked at Zhao Guodong who was sitting in the corner.
"Director, He Rizhu Base asked Qin Zhenhua to come over." Zhao Guodong quietly passed the blame to the base. Ma Panshan signed the base's mission notice, and then the base asked Qin Zhenhua to come over.
What reason did Zhao Guodong have for not letting him go?
After hearing Zhao Guodong's words, Ma Panshan could only shake his head helplessly: "The troops like to cause trouble at this time. Old Zhao, urge the base to come back as soon as the mission is completed."
Zhao Guodong nodded.
Song Weize was secretly upset. Although the translator in the factory had begun to help, one person was not enough. Moreover, the translator had not studied craftsmanship. The translation might not be accurate and not as good as Qin Zhenhua's.
Now, what Factory Director Ma said was completely irrelevant. Zhao Guodong might not be able to call him, and even if he did, he wouldn't really do it.
Now, their maintenance workshop is becoming more and more famous. In the factory, rumors have even begun to spread that the technology of the maintenance workshop is the best in the factory. The night class taught by Qin Zhenhua has also spread. If it weren't for these few days
Since Tian Qin Zhenhua is not here, it is estimated that more and more people will attend the lectures.
"Okay, let's talk about the second thing." Ma Panshan looked at the people present with a smile on his face: "The project of going abroad to inspect advanced foreign tank industries has been basically finalized. According to preliminary estimates,
Our factory has at least five quotas!"
In fact, there have been rumors about going abroad for inspection for a long time. The country is now facing a serious threat from the north, so it actually attaches great importance to tank technology. However, in the past few years, it was not possible to introduce technology from abroad.
Only now, with the West opening the door, can this be possible in China.
Overseas inspections are very important, and there will even be a group of ministers going there, so when we get to the No. 1 Machinery Factory, it is quite good to be able to give five places.
When Song Weize heard about these five quotas, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Then, he looked helplessly at Zhou Xuejun and saw that Zhou Xuejun also had some embarrassment on his face.
Originally, I thought there would be at least ten places. In this way, it would be possible to find four for Qin Zhenhua. But now, there are only five places in total. How to divide them?
"This opportunity is rare." Ma Panshan said: "We have been working behind closed doors for so many years, and finally we can go out and have a look. It's just that the quota given to us is too few. Old Niu, how do you think we should allocate this quota?"
Niu Shilong is in charge of personnel affairs, so his opinion must be listened to when allocating quotas for inspections.
Niu Shilong simply said: "It's easy to say, there are five quotas, so the directors can just be a bit aggrieved. We have one factory director and four deputy factory directors. It will be just right if we go out."
