"Mr. Zhao, you still need to report this matter to your superiors." That night, Qin Zhenhua called and on the phone, the familiar voice came: "Well, this matter requires me to report to your superiors.
It was conveyed, but I must be clear about your opinion. After all, advanced production technology of armor-piercing bombs is our foundation. If we export production technology to Pakistan, we must consider the consequences of technological proliferation."
Those who can be called Mr. Zhao are not someone else, but are naturally Zhao Guodong, the former director of the First Machine Factory. When Qin Zhenhua entered the First Machine Factory, Zhao Guodong was Qin Zhenhua's immediate boss and the director of the maintenance workshop.
Now, Zhao Guodong has been working as the general manager of the Northern Company for many years. His office has been located in the office building of the Northern Company in the capital. Although he has left the First Machine Factory, Zhao Guodong's concern for the First Machine Factory
, but he has never changed. After all, he took this position to make room for Qin Zhenhua, and on the other hand, he also wanted to protect him.
Now this matter is entirely his duty. The arms exports of the Eastern Powers are coordinated through the Northern Company. This time, Lao Ba went directly to the first machine factory. If he went to the capital first,
Then, Zhao Guodong might go to the Yima Factory with Lao Ba’s customers. Now, they are in the capital, waiting for Lao Ba’s team to pass through the grassland.
Therefore, we must now ventilate in advance and make preparations. At the same time, Zhao Guodong also knows the seriousness of the matter. Qin Zhenhua fooled Lao Ba today. If we want the production technology of armor-piercing bombs, we must first complete the Khalid tank project.
Although there is no promise, this is what is meant by words. So, if Lao Ba disagrees with it again when the Khalid tank project is completed, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Guodong must know Qin Zhenhua’s thoughts. At this time, his words were very calm. Obviously, he believed in Qin Zhenhua, and Qin Zhenhua’s actions must have his own reasons.
"I have calculated that when Lao Ba is equipped with Khalid tanks, it will definitely be five years later. During this period, I believe that we have already had the leading generation of armor-piercing bomb production technology. We are currently studying solid-phase sintering.
and discharge plasma sintering technology, these technologies will make the tungsten alloy core denser, and we will have more advanced armor-piercing bombs, which will have greater penetration depth and higher accuracy. So, at that time, our first phase of foreign trade
The technical content of the bullet has been greatly reduced. At that time, it should be possible to consider exporting it." Qin Zhenhua said.
Zhao Guodong opposite was silent. Over the years, the technology of the Eastern powers has developed rapidly. However, within five years, no one can say whether the technology of armor-piercing bombs can reach a higher level. These new sintering technologies are under development.
But there is still a long distance from research and development to real production.
"At the same time, even if we export production technology to Lao Ba, we can still make profits by exporting raw materials. After all, the core of the armor-piercing bomb needs to be sintered by liquid phase by tungsten powder, nickel powder and iron powder.
Lao Ba may not be able to produce these raw materials by himself."
Now, the conventional manufacturing process of tungsten alloys is still liquid phase sintering. These technologies are technologies introduced simultaneously when the 105mm tank gun was introduced. If you want to further increase the depth of the tank gun, you can only
Technically, if you find a way to make the tungsten alloy denser, you can further increase the depth of the armor-piercing shell.
No matter how it is sintered, in short, the raw materials are almost the same, more than 95% of tungsten, about 3.4% of nickel, and about 1.5% of iron. These raw materials are the most
The main thing is tungsten.
Over the years, the West has been continuously developing depleted uranium bombs, especially the United States. Why don’t they engage in tungsten alloy armor-piercing bombs? In addition to the large amount of nuclear waste, which is just used for waste utilization, the more important reason is that the West does not have tungsten ore with abundant reserves.
The world's largest tungsten ore is in the Eastern powers, and other countries are only jealous. Moreover, as time goes by, the Eastern powers can find more tungsten ore.
Tungsten ore reserves are abundant, so the armor-piercing bombs of the Eastern powers are mainly tungsten alloy armor-piercing bombs, and the sintering process for tungsten alloys is also constantly advancing.
Qin Zhenhua had this confidence at this time. Lao Ba introduced production technology and had to import tungsten powder and other raw materials from major Eastern countries, so there was no need to worry too much.
After hearing Qin Zhenhua's explanations, Zhao Guodong opposite was finally satisfied: "Well, if you say that, then we have a clear idea. I will report all these situations to my superiors. By the way, what else do you need to report
of?"
Qin Zhenhua thought for a while and said, "There is another thing. We will definitely arouse Ermao's dissatisfaction with the T-80UD tank. In order to avoid this, Ermao will also strive to get the export of the artillery shells."
Selling tanks is a one-time transaction. After ten or twenty years of use, if you want to upgrade, you may not find Ermao. Only selling shells can continue to make profits. If the shells are monopolized by the Eastern powers.
Then, how could Ermao be willing?
Now, after this visit to Pakistan and the agreement reached is disclosed, Ermao will definitely express strong dissatisfaction and protest, and at the same time, he will come up with ways to fight.
"But their armor-piercing bombs are not as good as ours." Zhao Guodong opposite was very surprised. He didn't know how Qin Zhenhua mentioned this. If Ermao's armor-piercing bombs were good enough, would Lao Ba need to ask for help from the Eastern Power?
"That's because Ermao didn't use a killer move." Qin Zhenhua said: "If Ermao recommended the export of depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs, then it might impress Lao Ba."
Depleted uranium armor-piercing bomb!
If ordinary armor-piercing bombs are not powerful enough, they can only rely on depleted uranium bombs to make up for them!
Among the Soviet tank shells, the current export is 3BM42. Before this shell, there was another 3BM32. This armor-piercing shell is a depleted uranium bomb. The ammunition improved by the Soviets in order to improve the power of the tank guns.
At the same time, in order to further increase its power, just in 1991, on the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Soviets created the 3BM46. This armor-piercing bomb is simply the pinnacle of the Soviet tank armor-piercing bomb!
Later, the Soviet Union collapsed, and this armor-piercing bomb was not produced. It was not even clear whether the design drawings were in Ermao's hands, but this still needs to be prevented.
