Robert had begun to regret that he had deliberately said something humorous. In such a formal occasion, it was actually inappropriate to talk about the butt, and now that it was directed to the tank's butt, it was even more difficult to say.
Qin Zhenhua obviously had no intention of giving up the discussion on this aspect. He continued: "This tank weighs more than fifty tons, so its engine should have 800 horsepower, which is probably enough, right? Want to be mobile?
It's better, preferably with 900 horsepower. Mr. Robert, please tell us about its engine."
Eight hundred horsepower, nine hundred horsepower. These words made Robert feel even more upset. This was obviously a matter of which pot was not being opened.
The UK attaches great importance to armor protection and firepower, so on the other hand, it can only do its best when it comes to the engine. The back of this tank is equipped with the Leland Company's L60 2-stroke inline 6-cylinder pair.
Piston water-cooled multi-fuel engine.
2-stroke engines are inherently wasteful, so they only use this method to increase power when they have no other options. Even so, the original plan to reach 750 horsepower has been delayed.
This kind of tank is divided into many different models. The original MK1 series had an engine with only 585 horsepower. In the MK2 model, the engine power was barely increased to 650 horsepower. Until recently, the latest modification, the MK5 engine power was increased to 720 horsepower.
, it has almost reached its limit.
So, what Qin Zhenhua said now about eight hundred horsepower and nine hundred horsepower was obviously to cause trouble. But now, he can't get angry. He must maintain his usual gentleman and humor in front of the guests. After all, this
But this is the first time a big country from the East comes to inspect, so there must be no stalemate.
"By the way, I read international information and you have developed a 1,200-horsepower engine. If this engine is installed on the Qifutan, it will be absolutely powerful!" Qin Zhenhua was full of emotions when he spoke.
The longing look in his eyes didn't seem to be provocative, but rather like he was here to ask for advice humbly.
The policies of various countries are different. Domestic research and development of various technical equipment must be kept confidential. Often, it has been finalized and equipped for the army for many years. The outside world has just spread the gossip and will be denied by the relevant departments. However, in Western countries, before development,
At the beginning, we began to promote it with great fanfare.
The reason is also very simple. Their weapons and equipment must not only be used for their own use, but also exported. If they are exported, it means competition. Whoever has better performance will get more orders. Therefore, they are focusing on the performance of their equipment.
When the standards are not met, even the design parameters during research and development will be shown off.
Although the performance of the engine on this Chivotan is not very good, they still have something to offer. Rolls-Royce has specially developed the Coanda 12V-1200 turbocharged diesel engine, which operates at 2300r/min.
The power is 1200 horsepower per hour.
This kind of power can definitely be used to brag. Looking around the world, there are only a few tank engines with a power of more than a thousand horsepower.
Hearing Qin Zhenhua take out this engine to talk about it, Robert's face showed a smile again: "Yes, we have an engine of 1,200 horsepower, but this kind of engine is not used on Qifutan.
It is used in our latest project. As for our current tank, although it uses a 720-horsepower engine, in terms of power, it is not only an engine, but also a transmission and a complete power chain.
,So, even though the engine power is not high, Chifutan’s maneuverability is also quite good.”
Guys, don’t be a data guy. Just look at a few data and think it’s a good thing? It depends on the matching. If the matching is good, then it’s good.
After saying that, he turned his head to Commander Huang and Minister Zhu beside him. After all, Qin Zhenhua was just a small role, and the two people beside him were the leaders.
"We know that you are facing armor pressure on the border. Your existing tanks cannot meet the task of protecting the country and defending against foreign enemies. Our Qifutan is your best choice. This
This tank has now been exported to many countries, and we believe that it will definitely satisfy you."
What is the purpose of sending so many personnel to inspect the country? Of course it is to make up for the shortcomings in the strength of the armored forces and to improve combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
For the British, the sales volume of this kind of Chifutan is not high. It is far behind the thousands of exports of the previous tank. Now, since the Eastern powers are here, they naturally want to trick them into buying this kind of tank.
of.
In particular, this kind of tank is definitely much more advanced for the big Eastern countries and is far ahead in all aspects. But for the British, this is already a backward tank series. Although they gave up the MBT-80 tank
, but using the mature technology in the development of this tank, there is already an updated tank project, which already has the title of Challenger, and the 1,200-horsepower engine is also used in the Challenger.
Therefore, they can help the other party improve their tank technology without selling the most advanced ones. They want to do business to make money, but they also want to prevent the other party from mastering too advanced technology. This abacus is very good.
When he said this, the members of the delegation who came to inspect all fell into deep thought. Of course, some people began to feel dissatisfied in their hearts. Sure enough, in capitalist countries, everyone is only interested in profit. They want to sell this kind of junk to others.
It's really shameless to exchange money on your own.
We are all professionals. No matter how good this tank is, it is actually at the level of a second-generation tank. It is far behind the Leopard 2.
Well, Qin Zhenhua, a stupid young man, could not refute the other party with a few words. Now that I think about it, it is quite satisfying.
Just when someone was thinking about this, they heard Qin Zhenhua speak again: "I don't believe it. No matter how advanced the transmission system is and where the weight is, I don't believe how good the maneuverability is."
As expected, Qin Zhenhua started to quarrel with each other again, and at this time, Ma Panshan slowly began to understand.
Qin Zhenhua once gave the boss a plan on the plane. Now it seems that Qin Zhenhua is acting according to this plan.
Anyway, he is a young man, so he plays the role of a stupid person, that is, he has to argue with the other party. Even if he says something wrong, the leader can finally smooth things over.
Such a role could only be played by him. If the leader did not acquiesce, would Qin Zhenhua dare to go out of his way?
This is in line with Qin Zhenhua's style all along. Now, let's continue reading for ourselves.
