"Today I have learned so much knowledge. In the past, I thought that the knowledge I had mastered was enough. I lived until I was old and learned until I was old. This is indeed true." Qin Zhenhua sighed:
"I almost got outdated because the technology of automobiles has developed so quickly. Fortunately, our tank technology has developed well, and it is not outdated in this regard."
The Cold War ended and the East-West Confrontation disappeared. Therefore, in the past decade, Western tank technology has hardly developed much. It is precisely because of this that the Eastern powers can complete development and transcend. Because in the past decade, it is
When the great powers in the East were developing the most rapid.
Look at Germany, the Leopard tank was built in the 1960s and 1970s. This type of tank has been used until now. Although it is constantly upgrading, in fact, the overall result has not changed drastically. In terms of engines, it has always been.
No improvement.
Look at the UK again, it is the same. The Challenger Tank is still in service. Although the weight is getting heavier, the engine has always been the original Perkins engine, and it is still 1,200 horsepower, without any progress.
.
What about the United States? The Americans are doing even more amazingly. The US Army has begun to transform. They think heavy tanks are useless. Therefore, the US tank production line has been closed. In other words, since then, the US Army has no new tanks.
It's ready to use.
Of course, American tanks still need to be updated. Their way to update is to overhaul, send the M1 tank that reaches its life to the overhaul factory, completely dismantle it, clean it up inside and out, and then assemble it.
When they were sent to the army, their army used second-hand goods. On the contrary, they were still producing a production line exported to Africa. In the future, Americans might have to order new tanks from this country.
Countries around the world have stopped developing, so the tank technology of the Eastern powers has finally caught up and reached the world's advanced level.
At this time, when Wang Erzhu heard Qin Zhenhua's feelings, he thought of something and said to Qin Zhenhua: "Director Qin, speaking of this, among the progress of our tank technology, the most worthy of celebration is the new model in the Beihua Diesel Engine Factory
The tank diesel engine is currently going well. I heard that it will be ignited and tested soon.”
When Qin Zhenhua heard Wang Erzhu say this, he was immediately delighted: "132 diesel engine?"
Of course, Qin Zhenhua remembers that he was assigned to the Beihua Diesel Engine Factory's new tank and diesel engine research and development task. This is based on their civilian engines, increasing power and meeting the requirements for the use of plateau tanks.
Later, Beihua Diesel Engine Factory went to do research. Now it seems that there have been gaining something.
Hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Wang Erzhu nodded: "Yes, this diesel engine is the one that I heard is good performance. Our automobile branch plans to launch a special mine truck in the future, so we plan to match their engines."
Beihua Diesel Engine Factory introduced the technology of Deutz engines, and the engines produced were mainly for military use. However, later, with the introduction of new water-cooled diesel engines, they also began to be widely used in commercial vehicles. In this era, although WD615
The engine has been recognized by users, but the Deutz diesel engine also has a good reputation.
"Since the fire is already on fire, I have to go and join in the fun." Qin Zhenhua said.
"Okay, Director Qin, I'll go too to see if their diesel engines are suitable for our vehicles." Wang Erzhu said.
Beihua Diesel Engine Factory has encountered some difficulties, the products are old, the factory is located in the deep mountains, and it is not convenient to absorb talents, etc. Later, these difficulties were overcome, and Beihua Diesel Engine Factory finally showed vitality.
"Director Qin, what wind has blown you?" Zhuang Zicheng said to Qin Zhenhua with a smile. When he heard that Qin Zhenhua was coming, Zhuang Zizhen rushed to the factory gate to greet him.
Qin Zhenhua looked at Zhuang Zicheng's white hair and said, "Lao Zhuang, you are old and don't plan to abdicate, just give it to the young man."
Saying this sentence in person makes the people following Zhuang Zicheng feel a little embarrassed. At this level, who would like to say that they are old and who would like to retire? I wish I could work until I was 80 years old, and Zhuang Zicheng laughed,
Don't think Qin Zhenhua is sarcasm, he said: "We are old and shouldn't have occupied the pit. However, we are currently carrying out the most important project and we must not relax. This is also my selfishness. Wait until this
The new engine has been developed successfully, and it is not too late to retire.”
Zhuang Zicheng was very straightforward, Qin Zhenhua smiled and said, "Yes, this project is the most important thing for us. I heard that the ignition test is about to be launched, so I came here specially."
"Yes, the fire is about to be lit. You are here at the right time." Zhuang Zicheng said: "This morning, I saw the magpies screaming. It turns out that there is a happy event. Today's ignition test drive will definitely succeed. Let's go.
, Let's go to the fireworkshop."
"In such a short time, we have developed the engine and started the test drive. It's really touching." Qin Zhenhua said while looking at the factory's construction.
When I was working on a 150HB diesel engine, I spent a lot of effort. After so long, I installed a tank. There were still a lot of problems. Even because the engine was unreliable, the army almost didn't want it. Think about looking for it a few years ago.
Qin Zhenhua was very moved by the experience of the failure.
"Yes, technology is improving." Zhuang Zicheng said: "Our engine, a large number of colleges and universities have participated in it, and have jointly studied many of the technologies, so that the engine research and development can be completed. We believe that the failure rate is
Absolutely much less than a 150HB diesel engine.”
In the past, the development methods were too backward. There were many problems in the design process. These problems would be exposed in subsequent tests and then they needed to be modified continuously. Now it is not needed.
There are many advanced design methods, and many problems are exposed during the design stage, and then modified. With the technical support of the college, they have successfully completed the design process.
This 8V132 diesel engine has a small cylinder diameter and a small displacement, but it is very difficult to achieve the same power output as the 8V150 diesel engine. In particular, it also requires the power output capability of the plateau, which even poses a severe challenge.
.
However, Beihua Diesel Engine Factory did not retreat. They faced the challenge and, with the help of various technical forces, have successfully made the prototype!
