"Durabah?" Qin Zhenhua opened his eyes wide, but he didn't expect to meet this person here! How could this person be here, the deputy chief engineer of the Kharkov Tank Design Bureau, Wang Erzhu's father, how could this person be here?
At the beginning, the relationship between the Soviet Union and the Eastern powers gradually thawed. Taking this opportunity, Qin Zhenhua took people to the Soviet Union and gained a lot, especially Duraba played a very important role in it.
It was with his help that he bought a large amount of scrap iron, among which the scrap iron, there were also T-80 tanks, which allowed the Eastern powers to come into contact with tanks used by the Soviet Union for the first time.
It took a lot of effort at that time, but now, I guess I have let go and bought it casually, right? After all, they are no longer the same country.
Damao and Ermao have already separated. After the separation, Ermao's family has a very good fortune. After all, the Black Sea Shipyard and Kharkov Tank Factory are all here. It's still a pity to think of this.
"I'm very happy, we're here again, my old friend." Du Laba looked very enthusiastic and actually came up to hug Qin Zhenhua, and then said, "Where is Wang Erzhu? Didn't he come with you?"
Du Laba still cared about Wang Erzhu. At this time, when he heard a few words, he mentioned Wang Erzhu. Qin Zhenhua's heart was still very warm. This was the care of a father. Although it was because of guilt, after all, it was because of that era, and Wang Erzhu could not be completely blamed.
"Yes, Wang Erzhu is in China. If you have time, you can go to the Eastern Power with us to see it. Anyway, it is very convenient now." Qin Zhenhua said. In the past, there were many eyes staring at him. Now, it should be easy for citizens of this country to go back and forth.
Duraba nodded: "Yes, if you have time, you must go and see. Your machine factory is a magical place. I didn't expect that you could actually build such an advanced tank. I heard that it weighs more than 40 tons?"
As a tank engineer, it is normal to shift the topic from Wang Erzhu to Khalid tank. At this time, Qin Zhenhua completely regarded Du Laba as his own person, and said all he should say, without much psychological defense. Nie Qianqian, who was standing beside him, frowned at Du Laba's erratic eyes. Out of female sensitivity, she seemed to have guessed something.
"Yes, forty-six tons." Qin Zhenhua said. These data actually have to be made public, so it doesn't matter to tell the other party.
"In this case, it needs at least 1,200 horsepower, right?" Dulaba said.
Qin Zhenhua then nodded: "Yes, the engine from Perkins, the UK is installed now. However, this is not the final version. We will hold a bidding meeting later."
If the test has been passed, continuing to hold engine bidding will definitely make the British unsatisfied. As the initiator, Qin Zhenhua will definitely be jealous of the British. However, this is also impossible. Who made their eating habits look too ugly? After all, the British asked for a price too high. If they lowered the price, how could they use such trouble?
"Can our 6TD-2 diesel engine also participate in the bid?" Dulaba said.
"6TD-2?" Qin Zhenhua was stunned when he heard Du Laba's words: "Have you developed this modified engine?"
Qin Zhenhua remembers it very clearly that when he visited Kharkov last time, the other party used the original 6TD engine, which was obtained by adding an extra cylinder based on the 5TD engine. The performance of this engine just reached 1,000 horsepower, meeting the needs of the T-80UD.
However, for tank engineers, the pursuit of power is endless, so the Kharkov engineers continued to work hard to achieve a power demand of 1,200 horsepower by improving superchargers and other means.
But I didn't expect that they actually made it.
Thinking about it in China, our side has been increasing from one thousand horsepower to one thousand two hundred horsepower for several years, and is still under test. I have to say that the industrial heritage of the Russians is still there, which is admirable.
Although the engine is powerful enough, the natural torque difference of this level of opposing engine cannot be compensated. Therefore, Qin Zhenhua knows that compared with the British Perkins engine, the performance of this engine is not high.
But... the purpose of this tender meeting is to introduce competitors and make the British retreat? So, looking at Du Laba nodding, Qin Zhenhua nodded: "Of course there is no problem. When the exhibition is over, we will hold a tender meeting. At that time, your quotation must be lower, so that it will be convenient for winning the bid."
Sure enough, the huge empire is gone, which is beneficial to them. If that country is still there, the T-80 tanks can only be used for their own use and it is absolutely impossible to export them. What about now? Now they are self-reliant. Kharkov Tank City, and they produce so many tanks that Ermao cannot digest. They can only find a breakthrough in the international market.
"Then I'll prepare the bidding information." Duraba said: "I'll see you later."
When Du Laba left, Nie Qianqian frowned and said to Qin Zhenhua: "Director Qin, I don't like this person."
"Of course you can't like him anymore. How's your relationship with Zhang Zhong recently?" Qin Zhenhua asked.
After returning from Keguo, they were said to have constant contact, especially Nie Qianqian stayed in the capital for more time, and often had contact with Zhang Zhong. I wonder if the relationship between the two has further developed?
When Nie Qianqian heard Qin Zhenhua say this, she blushed. She was about to say something just now, and then she realized that she couldn't help but stomp her feet: "Director Qin, what I'm not talking about, don't interrupt!"
Nie Qianqian was serious and said to Qin Zhenhua: "The production capacity of the Kharkov tank factory is very terrifying. Now that the empire is gone, their factory must open up sales in the world market, otherwise, their factory will face a serious crisis. Now, the other party intends to enter the Pakistani market, which is quite unfavorable for us. They are our competitors, and after all, they are lean camels larger than horses, and their technology is higher than ours. If they are really put in, it may have an adverse impact on us!"
Nie Qianqian was very anxious, she had a premonition of danger.
Qin Zhenhua nodded: "You said, I know, but their 6TD diesel engines have great shortcomings. It is not easy to open up the Pakistani market. Now, we are just using them to put pressure on the UK. The Pakistani people have a high vision and cannot be attracted to their products."
