"What is that thing? It looks strange." The gunner in charge of the gun test couldn't help asking.
In recent years, the first-machine factory has been constantly recruiting new workers, but the conditions are getting higher and higher. The gunners in charge of test artillery are now recruited from universities. After all, the gunners are no longer the initial level of the previous level.
People can do it. When testing guns, you need to test the fire control system and understand the principles of complex electronic systems. Only college students can have this ability. It is becoming increasingly difficult for those who have never been to college to enter the factory.
At this time, the gunner's eyes were aimed at the new target through the sight. In his eyes, it was an irregularly shaped object.
"No matter what he is, you will know if you hit it with our shells." On the other side of the gunner, in the position of the commander, the experienced master of the first machine factory said.
"Yeah." The gunner swallowed and spitted, then pressed the automatic loading button, and only the rhythmic sound of the automatic loading machine was heard. The warhead and the launching medicine were lifted up, and then, two whizzing sounds,
The push rod pushes the warhead and the launching medicine into place in turn.
Since it was a test gun, I was reluctant to use tungsten alloy shells that cost tens of thousands of yuan per round. I just used coach shells that used steel core shells.
Boom! Amid the huge sound of fire, a firelight appeared at the muzzle, and the entire tank trembled. The armor-piercing bullets on the bullet-holding were thrown away, and then flew into the sky and flew towards the opposite side.
An arc passed quickly in the sky, and then it hit the target hard.
The smoke of gunpowder dissipated. The gunner continued to look forward through the sight and found that the core of his armor-piercing projectile had already pierced the target. He felt a little strange. How hard the target was, it was not penetrated?
"Report, the test gun has been completed." Just after the rumbling gun sound, Qin Zhenhua also received a report: "The target has been brought here."
Qin Zhenhua was excited and walked to the car. When he saw the target inside the car, his face suddenly changed: "Why, it's not pierced?"
"The tungsten alloy core can be pierced through, but our coach must not pierced through." said the person who sent the target.
"No, no, it's not that we haven't pierced the main armor, but that we haven't pierced the additional armor!" Qin Zhenhua said: "Disassemble the additional armor from the main armor!"
At this time, just as he was talking, Qin Zhenhua was already filled with joy.
What happened to him that this layer of wedge-shaped additional armor was of great benefit, because its inclination angle was too large, so although it was not very thick, the equivalent thickness was very large, equivalent
The protective force is at least more than 200 mm!
Since it is hollow, the performance of the energy-concentrating warhead of anti-armor piercing bombs and anti-tank missiles is definitely good. Without Qin Zhenhua's testing, he would know that now, Qin Zhenhua is going to test the ability to prevent armor piercing bombs.
Soon, the additional armor was dismantled. The steel core bullet only penetrated the wedge armor. When it was pierced into the main armor, it lost its speed and had no ability to pierce it in, but left one outside.
It's just a small pit. According to their understanding of this steel core bullet, the armor-piercing ability is at least 250 mm, which means that this extra wedge-shaped additional armor has a great practical effect.
Qin Zhenhua was immersed in joy.
Many times, just a structural change will bring about huge changes. In engineering, there are many geniuses. Now, the turret bras created by the Germans have good protection. Qin Zhenhua is very happy.
, he quickly made similar equipment and used it on his own tank. Sure enough, the protection was very satisfying.
The weight added is not much, but the protection lift is very effective.
"What are you doing?" At this moment, a voice sounded. I don't know when Mr. Zhu actually came over.
"Zhu Lao, the front end of the tanks we produce in the future will be improved." Qin Zhenhua said: "Through such improvements, the protection of our tank turrets can be greatly improved. It is estimated that it can be increased by 200 mm.
The extra protection, as for the added weight, is only one or two hundred kilograms, which is completely cost-effective."
"Is that?" Mr. Zhu became interested all of a sudden. Looking at the target here, Mr. Zhu quickly understood: "Yes, this is a genius design. Our 99 tank can also follow this
Improve your ideas and further increase its protection!”
Mr. Zhu was excited.
Without significantly increasing the weight of the tank, it is best to achieve performance improvement through structural adjustment. Now, after seeing this design, Mr. Zhu quickly figured out these principles, anti-armor piercing bombs, and breaking
The armored bullets have been greatly improved, which is really a good plan.
The 96 tank is similar to the 99 tank's turret, so the same design is easy to use on the 99 tank, which can increase the protection of the 99 tank. Of course, Mr. Zhu is willing to do so.
"By the way, Mr. Zhu, why are you free to come here?" Qin Zhenhua asked Mr. Zhu.
Only then did Mr. Zhu think of his purpose of coming here and quickly said, "I am here to tell you good news. Under the leadership of Lao Cao, he overcomes the design difficulties of the latest explosion reaction armor. He presided over the
The Reaction-4 armor was developed and finally achieved success in the shooting range test. In the future, our tanks can be further protected!"
When Mr. Zhu heard this news, he wanted to tell Qin Zhenhua that after all, this is of great benefit to the improvement of the 99 tank. This is definitely a cross-age invention and the most advanced explosion reaction armor technology!
Explosion reaction armor technology matured in the 1970s and 1980s, and later it was widely used on Soviet tanks. On the surface of these tanks, there were brick-like things hanging, that is, explosion reaction armor.
The great powers also have their own explosion reaction armor, which is mainly used to improve the 59 tank. You can see that the 59 tank is also covered with bricks.
However, on the new 99 tank, the Eastern Powers did not hang such bricks because there are still many shortcomings of bricks. At the same time, it is also because they are waiting to improve the new explosion reaction armor after the shortcomings are improved.
"This kind of explosion reaction armor does not need to be arranged at intervals, and can be arranged closely one by one." Zhu Lao said: "This is the best explosion reaction armor to improve the performance of our tanks!"
