The improvement of the 99 tank is currently an important goal of the first machine factory, which is to make the tank more powerful. Now, we need to add explosive reaction armor to the tank, which will inevitably greatly enhance the protection, but at the same time, the tank will also be
The mobility is reduced, after all, it is gaining weight.
Then, we have to find a way to improve it.
Now, the turret bra has been made to improve the protection, and Qin Zhenhua has made improvements. But now, facing the new good things, Qin Zhenhua is a little looking forward to it. He hopes to solve the problem successfully
.
"It seems that we have to find a way to install the engine horizontally." Qin Zhenhua said: "In this way, the length of the vehicle body can be saved and the weight will be saved."
The current Khalid tank uses a transverse engine, so the overall shape is very compact. The 99 tank uses a longitudinal engine and the engine compartment is very long.
Take the 1,200 horsepower engine currently used, which is one meter and four meters long and nine hundred and forty centimeters wide. Unlike the cube of Western engines, it is a rectangular body.
When it was designed, the engine was vertically arranged, which was also arranged according to the Western design plan. Now, if it was changed to horizontal, it would probably be able to reduce the weight by half a meter and reduce the weight by half a ton.
Mr. Zhu nodded: "That's right, we have to consider this layout after our hydraulic transmission system is developed."
The engine and transmission system have always been equipped with supporting facilities. How the engine is arranged depends on the transmission system.
However, this route can be considered. By placing the engine horizontally and reducing the length of the vehicle body, the weight of the vehicle body is reduced, and then the weight of the vehicle is reduced is used to increase the protection force. This is almost like walking with the Khalid tank.
The same road, when Khalid tank was started to design, it was also arranged vertically. After using Ermao's products, it was changed to horizontal, which saved half a ton of weight.
The domestic engine cannot be compared with Ermao's 6TD diesel engine, but this idea can also be considered.
With the direction, then the next step is to work hard in this direction. Time passes quickly as you work hard, and several months pass by in a flash.
"Dajun, why are you here again?" Qin Zhenhua said to him when he saw Liu Dajun.
"Of course we are here to receive new tanks. Our troops are already impatient." Liu Dajun said: "We heard that our tank has been improved, but I don't know how effective it is."
"Of course the effect is very good." Qin Zhenhua said: "Look, how about it?"
At this time, while the two of them were talking, they had already walked into the factory. On the open space waiting for the equipment to be left, a row of camouflaged tanks stood proudly there. Looking at the shape of the turret, Liu Dajun was stunned:
“Is this a new tank?”
The shape of the turret has completely changed. It is not the same inclined surface as before, but the wedge-shaped top that extends forward, which looks full of power.
"What do you think?" Qin Zhenhua asked back.
At this time, Liu Dajun couldn't wait to jump onto the tank and drill into the position of the chariot leader. Then, he was even more surprised: "The space inside has not changed. How much has the armor in front been thickened? How much has the weight increased?
”
Liu Dajun couldn't believe that the turret of this tank was too domineering and the interior remained unchanged. That means that all the added modules were armored. How heavy would it be? Two or three tons!
"It's hollow, not much thicker." Qin Zhenhua said: "Look, I've deceived you all, wait for the Russians to see you, and just lie to them like this. They don't understand anyway."
Hollow? Liu Dajun suddenly realized that he asked Qin Zhenhua to make the tank domineering, so Qin Zhenhua came up with this method, but now, he does look much more domineering.
"At that time, if they ask what model our tank is, we won't tell you and let them guess it yourself." Liu Dajun said: "The Russians will definitely be envious. This exercise has been confirmed and the Russians will use theirs.
The T-80 tanks are still the same group during the Cold War. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russians have not equipped several new tanks."
During the Cold War, the Soviet tank troops were renewed very quickly. A large number of eliminated tanks were piled up in tank cemeteries and could be dragged out when needed. However, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, those who had split out
All countries have stagnated, even if even Damao is no exception. Although they keep selling T-90 tanks to the outside world, they have sold a large number of them, but their own troops are equipped.
There are very few, and in the past ten years, there have been no twenty vehicles. In contrast, the new tanks of the Eastern Powers are constantly being fixed and equipped with troops, and the Eastern Powers have begun to flourish.
So, just wait for the Russians to envy them. Thinking about the Russians seeing their newly-fabricated tank, Liu Dajun was full of expectations.
"This time, where is the exercise?" Qin Zhenhua asked.
"Just on our eastern peninsula, in addition to our army, the navy and air force participated, the scale of this time is quite large." Liu Dajun said: "Do you want to go and have a look?"
Qin Zhenhua was really moved after hearing Liu Dajun's words. In recent years, he has been developing third-generation tanks in China and has hardly been out. Now, with such an opportunity, it is also good to have a look.
"Of course we have to go together. Let's see." Qin Zhenhua said: "The Soviet T-80 tank was also a weapon of killing back then."
Back then, the T-80 tank was the most advanced tank of the Soviets. It used a tall gas turbine, just like the American M1 tank. However, in the past ten years, this tank has completely stagnated. After all,
The T-80 tank was invented by Kharkov, and Kharkiv is already a member of Ermao, so Damao kept selling T-90 tanks, and they were all left to support Tagir.
Even if it is not clear, everyone can see that the Russians have been declining rapidly over the years, while their motherland is thriving. Thinking of this, Qin Zhenhua was very moved. Individuals are just a small existence, only integration is
It is meaningful in the context of this great era. Even if you are already the director of a machine factory and have many achievements, they are also achieved under the background of prosperity and strength of the motherland. Growing in such a motherland, growing
