Seven hundred and twentieth chapters from the scriptures
"Lao Fang, why are you here?" In the first machine factory, the tank test yard, the Storm 2 tank was underway. Zhu Lao stood at the entrance of the test yard and looked at the group of people coming in surprise.
Fang Xian from the Tank Design Institute led a team of more than a dozen people. The sudden arrival of the guests was really strange.
"What's wrong?" Fang Xian asked: "We are the tank design institute. The tanks we designed are to be handed over to a machine factory for production. The factory was originally supposed to be combined. Now, let's take a look at it.
Isn't it possible for the 122 tank developed by the machine factory?"
The Tank Design Institute is a tank design. After the design is made, it is produced by a machine factory. This is originally a normal process.
But now, this process has also changed a lot because the scientific research force of the first machine factory has grown!
The first machine factory, as a large tank-making enterprise, also has its own special R&D rooms. Their R&D rooms were once not inferior to those of the tank design institute. Many technologies were produced from the first machine factory.
Later, a lot of things happened, and the R&D room had fallen, but the Yimai Factory set up a special scientific research team, some of which were engaged in engines, some of which were engaged in complete vehicles, and some of which were engaged in foreign trade. In this way, all R&D teams entered.
In the tense and orderly scientific research, there have been many achievements.
For example, the engine, the Black Panther diesel engine has undergone test drive and has a power level of 1,000 horsepower. In terms of the whole vehicle, with different products from self-use and foreign trade, the first-machine factory has embarked on a road of self-reliance and achieved achievements.
, in fact, it makes the tank design ashamed.
The Tank Design Institute, as the main scientific research institution for armored vehicles, has not achieved much yet! How can they accept this?
They were in a bad mood, so, now that they came over, Fang Xian also said with a sincere smile: "We are here to learn from the scriptures."
The first machine factory has been immersed in the 122 tank for many years. In order to change the five-pair loading wheels to six-pair loading wheels, it has gone through many twists and turns. At this point, it has been the season of harvest.
The 80 tank has been selected by the armored forces as a standard tank in the future, and the storm foreign trade tank in front of us is ready to actively explore foreign markets.
It is said that after a while, Lao Ba will come again to inspect. They have purchased a batch of 69-2 tanks and have a good impression. Now, in order to update the old equipment, they also need advanced models of tanks.
While speaking, the Storm-2 tank had already started to move back. Looking from a distance, its biggest feature was the turret!
Although the first machine factory decided to use a welding turret on the 1224 experimental prototype car, the welding turret of the 1224 experimental prototype car looks smoother. The front end of the turret is excessively curved and looks very generous. As for the disadvantages, the welding turret is not bad.
Well, there are also some, such as complex technology, etc.
The turret of the Storm Tank now looks even simpler. The turret of this tank is directly tilted armor on the front, which looks very similar to the turret of the Challenger Tank, but it is much smaller in size.
There is also a period of suffocation at the back.
The engine compartment behind is slightly raised, so the bottom plate of the turret's tailstock is slightly raised upwards, forming a special structure.
Everyone stared at the turret and looked at it for a long time.
"We used to use cast spherical turrets, but we also know that this kind of turret will sooner or later be eliminated, especially for foreign users, there have been great criticisms about spherical turrets, so we have developed several styles
Welded turret, so far, we believe that this turret should be the most suitable."
Mr. Zhu didn't know that the design of this turret was quite reasonable, so later, the appearance gradually became fixed. Now Fang Xian and others said that they were here to learn from the scriptures, but in fact, they were mainly looking for it.
The experience of the turret comes from.
In recent years, the tank design institute has not done anything. They have been studying the T-72 tank. Only by understanding the T-72 tank thoroughly can they develop domestic products based on it.
Third generation tank.
That's right, since it's a tank design institute, of course the goal is higher. The second-generation tank is always an excessive amount, and the third-generation tank is what the troops really need.
The T-72 is actually not considered a third-generation tank in the full sense. It is almost the same as calling it a second- and a half-generation tank. The over-the-top move towards a third-generation tank will inevitably go through a long period of time and have to wait for the progress of various domestic technologies.
The tank gun has chosen a caliber of 125 mm, but it will take many years to develop the specific research and development. The Black Panther engine can output 1,000 horsepower, but for the third generation of tanks, it will require at least 1,200 horsepower, and armor protection.
Questions and so on, reaction armor is just starting, and these require pre-research.
"This tank gun has a longer barrel, right?" Fang Xian couldn't help asking as the tank gun's barrel extended outwards.
The British should be very depressed. After exporting the L7 tank gun, they were constantly lengthening the barrels and creating monster-like equipment.
However, in order to increase firepower, this is also the easiest way. Besides, only by increasing the length of the gun barrel can we avoid the opponent's conditions and sell the tank.
"Is the steering wheel used inside?" Fang Xian said, and he had already jumped onto the tank and glanced into the cockpit.
"Yes, if we want to build a foreign trade tank, we have to follow the customer's requirements. Customers have great expectations for using the steering wheel." Mr. Zhu said.
If Qin Zhenhua was there at this time, he would definitely be able to say a lot of reasons. In short, the inevitable path to tank development is steering wheel operation, which brings many benefits, and the domestic army has always been very conservative.
, unwilling to use new technologies.
The turret also uses spherical turrets, so I feel that the bullet-proof appearance of this turret can be tolerated by the narrow internal space of the spherical turret.
Let’s look at the turret we have now. The seat ring has been expanded to a diameter of two meters and one. The space inside is very good. Even if you ride three people, it won’t look crowded. If you get on an automatic loader in the future,
If it becomes two people, it would be even better!
There is a tailstock behind the turret, so the balance is better. At this time, everyone still doesn’t know the various problems encountered by the convoy led by Qin Zhenhua. However, it can be imagined that as the tank guns continue to grow, the turret balance problem will be,
