If a qualified tank can be produced now, even if it is 1223, that's fine! Qin Zhenhua was very impressed at this time.
A person's power is insignificant. He already has the Black Panther diesel engine project, so he can't take more attention. He can only sigh at the research and development of the second-generation tank. Over the past year, the R&D room
What do those guys do for?
If the power matching is not good, it will definitely not work. After all, the second-generation tank has a larger weight and a stronger power system is needed.
With such regret, Qin Zhenhua was still making an introduction while walking.
"Our current tank chassis uses large diameter load-bearing wheels. It has many advantages, such as the long life of torsion bars, small losses, and especially the cheap price." Qin Zhenhua can only introduce the chassis now, so,
When I went to the destination, I gave an introduction to everyone.
The last cheapness is the most important thing, but the disadvantages of this load-bearing wheel are also obvious.
"However, this large diameter load-bearing wheel has poor natural stability and is very noisy, so we followed the trend and developed a new chassis with medium diameter load-bearing wheels."
The large diameter load bearing wheel has poor smoothness because it has a large up and down movement, so it will naturally be even more bumpy. The most serious thing is that there is no pulley on it, and the tracks are directly hung on the load bearing wheel. In this way, when traveling at high speed
The tracks will keep bumping, knocking, and causing impact noise.
"Our six-pair load-bearing wheel chassis has been developed for many years and is now fully mature." While introducing it, we came to the R&D room. Fortunately, the tank body has taken shape.
The chassis of this tank is larger. From the side, six pairs of load-bearing wheels support the weight of the entire vehicle body, with three pulleys on it, so the entire walking mechanism looks more coordinated and beautiful.
The turret above has not been buckled yet, so a large round hole has been exposed. The engine behind it has not been installed, and it is also empty. In short, the entire tank looks like a semi-finished product, only a chassis, and just such a thing
, Can Lao Ba like him?
Yes, they really like it.
Although Western tanks are advanced, they are expensive, and the weapons and equipment of major Eastern powers have always been affordable and inexpensive. Under the same performance indicators, the prices of major Eastern powers are only half that of the Western powers.
Therefore, under various factors, if Lao Ba wants to have more advanced tanks, the best solution is to start from the Eastern Power.
This new second-generation tank chassis is the beginning of a higher level!
Sharif walked up, circled around the six pairs of load-bearing wheels, and then nodded constantly: "This chassis can bear more than 40 tons of weight, which is also a good choice for us, its engine
Woolen cloth?"
For a tank, the engine and transmission system must take up a big factor in whether it can succeed.
Engines are an important indicator of a country's industrial strength. Tank engines require the highest power output, metallurgy, materials, etc. on a limited volume. They have put forward high requirements from the basic industry. The reason why the Germans can lead.
In the world, the first three generation tanks like Leopard-2 were created. The advanced 1500-horsepower engine is one of the important factors.
Sharif also knew the technical strength of Eastern countries clearly. It is no problem for the Eastern power to weld the body and build the chassis, but the problems with the engine are a roadblock.
"In terms of engines, we adopt advanced design concepts." Qin Zhenhua introduced: "It uses the overall power unit to install, and the battlefield replacement can be completed in only 15 minutes. It adopts a longitudinal installation method, which is more convenient.
, We plan to adopt a variety of transmission systems, including hydraulically driven automatic transmission solutions.”
Let’s talk about the concepts first, because these concepts must meet the other party’s appetite.
Sure enough, after hearing this design plan, Sharif nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this solution is the most suitable."
Although Lao Ba does not have much money on hand, he has always had a good relationship with the West and has seen the world. They also have ideas on how to build tanks.
Soviet tanks have never paid attention to this kind of ergonomic engineering. It takes a day to replace the engine, and it is even more impossible to change the on-site installation on the battlefield. Only the design concept of the overall power unit can be achieved. Now, it can be used from one machine.
The factory was also very satisfied with this design concept.
The great powers of the East have opened their doors and moved to the world, and have begun to align with the world.
Wait, it seems that the other party still didn't say what engine was used?
At this time, Qin Zhenhua had already introduced the turret: "We plan to use welding turrets, install 120mm large-caliber artillery and automatic loader, to become a world-leading main battle tank."
Anyway, it's just a shell of a car body. Let's fool it first. If they like it, they have to place an order of hundreds of vehicles, even if it's just a prelude to use this shell to hold their appetite.
, it is also very beneficial to make them think about it often and come to see it often.
"What engine do you plan to install? What is the power?" Sharif asked.
"There are several engine solutions at this stage. We have our own 730 horsepower engine and a 1,000 horsepower engine imported from Germany. If you are interested, we can completely compare it and choose qualified engines.
You can even go to the international market to purchase engines and we will install them."
Qin Zhenhua was actually joking about this last sentence, but unexpectedly, the other party became serious about this joke.
"Yes, we can purchase engines internationally or fire control systems. So, can the final assembly be carried out in our country?" Sharif asked.
Want to act together in your country? Then what are we doing? Qin Zhenhua felt a little strange about this unexpected proposal, but he understood later.
Lao Ba is attracted by his own six-pair heavy wheel chassis! Their archenemy India has now started to develop the Arjun tanks. Of course, Lao Ba is also holding on to his own enthusiasm, hoping to develop and produce tanks by himself.
.
In other words, Lao Ba is now interested in this semi-finished product from his side. If it hits their eyes, it will be a major breakthrough for Yimai Factory!
This is not just an export product, but also an export of the entire production line. This is the first time in China!
I don’t know how many difficulties will be waiting for us. After all, this tank has just been developed, but this is definitely a new beginning!
Qin Zhenhua, full of excitement, heard Sharif continue: "This also requires rigorous testing in our country, and we are looking forward to it."
