"Very good, we meet again." Somewhere in the north of the Han capital, at the tank unit shooting range, Qin Zhenhua and other representatives from the No. 1 Machine Factory finally met the real owner. Those proud British were waiting complacently.
Next test shot.
The person talking to Qin Zhenhua was the same Robert he had met before. At this time, he saw Qin Zhenhua, and the meaning in his words was obvious.
Bragging, you have been bragging before, now, we are finally going to get serious and see how you can still lie!
Marshal Cameron didn't come in person. He was still in the capital of Han, discussing various friendly issues with some senior officials. He only sent these technical personnel here, and now, they just want to see the Han side.
How to make a fool of themselves, do they actually have the powerful armor-piercing bullets they claim? It is absolutely impossible to cheat anymore.
Marshal Cameron is actually still waiting for this competition.
"Yes, we meet again." Qin Zhenhua communicated with the other party in fluent English. Now, it has just entered April, and there is still a slight chill in the north, but the land inside the shooting range has begun to sprout green.
The buds indicate the arrival of spring.
"Look, this is our L7 tank gun." Robert pointed to everyone. In fact, needless to say, there are obvious differences in appearance between this tank gun and domestic tank guns.
The thick circle device in the middle of the barrel is the most dazzling, it is the barrel smoking device.
Every time our own 100mm tank gun fires, some smoke pours out from behind, instantly filling the entire turret. If we fire continuously, the gunners will soon be choked and unbearable, even if the smoke inside
The exhaust fan is spinning like crazy, but it doesn't work.
This is caused by the lack of a barrel smoker, and now the opponent's tank gun has a complete smoker, which can greatly reduce the smoke flowing back into the turret.
In addition to this smoking device, there is a thermal sheath covering the entire gun barrel. This is a sheath made of aluminum alloy and is placed on the outside of the tank gun, which makes the tank gun look thicker.
This thermal sheath is to prevent the tank gun barrel from thermal expansion and contraction. Yes, in order to achieve high enough accuracy, even such small changes as the thermal expansion and contraction of the barrel need to be taken into account.
In the sun, the baked part will expand, and the barrel will bend downward. Even if the curvature of the bend is quite small, it will cause certain errors in long-distance shooting.
This gun barrel is installed on a modified 69 tank of our own. In the past few days, Marshal Cameron has been visiting the capital. They, in the army, have modified such a tank.
"Their tank gun is very easy to modify." At this time, while everyone was studying the tank gun, Mr. Zhu on the side spoke.
When he went abroad last time, Mr. Zhu did not go with him. However, he knew clearly what happened throughout the whole process. He admired Qin Zhenhua's strategy quite a lot. This time the British came here and brought tanks and guns.
Mr. Zhu watched the entire modification process.
Many small details will reflect the very high design level. As for fighter planes, to disassemble the engine of one's own fighter planes, one has to disassemble the entire rear fuselage, which takes a day or two. However, Western fighters can directly open the lower part, and it will be ready in fifteen minutes.
can be completed.
Tank guns are similar.
For our own tanks, when changing tank guns, we have to hoist the turret, which takes half a day. However, the L7 tank gun can be inserted directly from the outside without the need to hoist the turret. Mr. Zhu admires this very much.
.
This kind of tank gun must be introduced by our side. Among other things, it is very easy to use this gun to transform our own 59 tanks. If the previous 100 mm rifled gun is changed, the power will be greatly increased, which is suitable for
The decoration is quite good.
Qin Zhenhua jumped onto the turret, looked at the structure inside, and couldn't help but nod in admiration.
Relying on advanced technology, the barrel of this tank gun is much lighter than our own. Reducing the mass reduces the rotational inertia, making it easier to rotate the turret. At the same time, there are many doorways at the back. After all, the gun
The tube is only exposed to the outside, but inside the turret, there are also various mechanisms behind it.
The interior of the 59 tank has a small space, and the various mechanisms behind the gun barrel almost divide the turret into two. But now, this mechanism has shortened the distance by a lot compared to our own, especially the efficient garrison at the back.
The retreat/reentry machine further reduces the size of the turret, which greatly improves the space inside the turret.
"How is it?" Robert asked Qin Zhenhua. In fact, Qin Zhenhua was just a small character. Anyone present would have a higher status than Qin Zhenhua. Unfortunately, Qin Zhenhua left a deep impression on them last time in the UK.
This impression repeatedly kept them from coming to Taiwan, and later he personally proposed a competition. Moreover, Qin Zhenhua knew English and could communicate directly. Therefore, Qin Zhenhua became the inevitable target of the opponent's verbal dispute.
"Not bad." Qin Zhenhua said: "The design of the tail is very good, and it increases the internal space of the turret. These are all worth learning from."
After hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Robert and others showed a smile of victory on their faces: "So, your tank guns are still not as good as ours, right?"
"I'm talking about other accessories. In terms of armor-piercing power, we are not inferior." Qin Zhenhua said to the other party: "We have full confidence in the shells of our tank guns."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the faces of Robert and others suddenly became solemn: "Okay, then let's compete to see whose armor-piercing ability is stronger!"
In the past few days, while they were modifying the L7 tank gun onto the 69 tank, they were also studying the dismantled 100mm smoothbore gun.
The metallurgical technology here is obviously not high enough. In order to withstand higher bore pressure, the tank gun is made very thick. At the same time, despite the large size of the gun port at the rear, the propellant charge of the shell is not as good as our own L7
Tanks have many guns. After all, one's side has a 105mm barrel and the other side's has a 100mm barrel. The larger the caliber, the greater the charge.
Therefore, if the opponent's armor-piercing ability is higher than our own, then we will definitely not believe it.
"You are guests, so you should come first." Qin Zhenhua said, "You have the final say on how to compare."
When comparing, there are many prerequisites. If the restrictions are different, the results obtained will naturally be very different.
After hearing what Qin Zhenhua said, Robert smiled and said to him: "We are comparing our armor-piercing capabilities at a distance of 2,500 meters."
