Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 1209 It seems simple, but it's difficult to break the responsibility!

It seems simple, but it is actually difficult!

"Hehe, don't forget, I used to be the person in charge of the R&D department. And I was the first to implement this kind of workshop renovation plan. Do you think I don't understand?" Jiang Chen looked at Zhou Gong and smiled.

"Haha, I forgot about it. In this way, you can understand our mood better." Zhou Gong replied with a smile.

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't persuade you. If you have any needs in this regard, just tell us, and we will try our best to meet them."

Zhou Gong waved his hand and said: "It's good enough. To be honest, I never dreamed that I could see such an advanced laboratory in China in my life. Don't worry, I will do my best to carry out this experiment The chamber wants to catch up with the world-class level.”

"Hey, I have no doubts about this." Jiang Chen smiled.

Haha, Zhou Gong smiled and said to Jiang Chen, "Here, this is the research and practice site for our wheeled armored vehicles."

Seeing Zhou Gong's introduction, Jiang Chen looked at the four-axis environment, and saw that it was a semi-enclosed area surrounded by iron frames.On the iron frames of these fences, many partitions are made of wood to divide it into a semi-independent partition.And in these partitions are small grids, on which are placed parts, related documents and materials, and other things.And in the center of this semi-enclosed space, there is the skeleton of a wheeled armored vehicle that has been made.Various parts and equipment are installed on this skeleton, which looks very complicated.

On one side of this wheeled armored vehicle, there is a workbench, or a movable wheeled iron table.A 1:10 size wheeled armored vehicle model is placed on the iron table, which looks very delicate.

In a corner of this semi-enclosed area, the slightly old BTR-80 armored personnel carrier is parked.Of course, the upper firepower system was dismantled, because without special permission, Jiang Chen and the others could not touch offensive weapons.

Jiang Chen looked at this scene and smiled at Zhou Gong: "Zhou Gong, this is just a skeleton, I can't understand anything. You asked me to come today, you didn't mean to let me see this."

"Haha, of course, but that's not all." Zhou Gong introduced with a smile: "This is the No. 17 engineering prototype of our eight-by-eight-wheeled armored vehicle. Of course, there are still on-board equipment and parts. The final assembly and commissioning phase of the project has not yet been completed. So now it looks like it is a bit messy. But these are temporary. After all the on-board equipment and components are successfully debugged, these components and equipment can be placed Then carry out the circuit design and pavement, and finally install the armor. The body of this engineering prototype vehicle is considered complete. As for its combat firepower system, these need to be coordinated with the people at the B[-] factory, and finally directly Just install it."

"In this way, it shouldn't take long until the final completion." Jiang Chen asked looking at the skeleton of the wheeled armored vehicle.

Zhou Gong shook his head and smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Although it is so simple, it can be introduced and summarized in a few words. But it is even more difficult to actually do it. It can be said that it is difficult. Let's talk about the debugging of the vehicle equipment and parts first. Let’s get to work, this requires debugging all the on-board equipment so that they can adapt to the environment in the vehicle. Of course, it also needs to be adapted to the conditions in extreme natural environments and combat environments. Moreover, the mutual interference between these devices and parts must also be taken into consideration, so that the workload will be greatly increased. You need to know that there are tens of thousands of parts in the entire car body, so how long will it take to go through it all. More And we had to do a lot of trial and error to make sure it was in good shape no matter what the environment was.”

"After the debugging of these parts and equipment is completed, the next step is installation. Regardless of just installation, it involves a lot of knowledge. For example, where these equipment should be installed in the car body can it be used to its fullest potential. Efficacy, sometimes an error of one or two centimeters, or even one or two millimeters will have an impact. And how to install these devices can take up the least space, so as to save the precious space in the car, so as to play the role of the chariot in other aspects .For example, a larger interior space, can carry people, can also carry goods, and can be equipped with more ammunition and so on.

Moreover, the installation of these parts and equipment also affects the center of gravity of the entire wheeled armored vehicle and the balance of the vehicle body, which also involves many aspects of knowledge and related technologies.Then there is how to install these components and equipment, in order to protect the core equipment and components from attacks to the greatest extent.This also takes into account a series of issues such as the protection of the body, which is very complicated.

As for the pipelines that link various equipment and components, special integration and laying are also required.These series of pipelines on the aircraft are called avionics systems, and the same is true for tanks. It is also composed of many complex connections between devices, so this also creates a very complicated pipeline network.How to integrate these pipelines so that they can play the greatest role with the smallest pipeline is also a question that the relevant R&D teams have to consider.

Then there is the laying of these relationships.How can we save space, how can we facilitate maintenance, and how can we avoid attacks.These seemingly inconspicuous problems actually take up a lot of time and personnel, which is also the difficulty of this car.Putting it all together, it's about integrating a myriad of subsystems into this car, and what we've done is work on that.It seems simple, but it is actually difficult! "

"What you said is too complicated, and I can understand the general idea. You should tell me directly when the engineering prototype will be released. This is what I am most concerned about now."

Seeing Jiang Chen's question, Zhou Gong thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said to Jiang Chen: "According to the current progress, if we work harder and everything goes well, I expect to be able to produce the first project in the early summer of next year." The sample car comes out."

Jiang Chen frowned and said: "Then according to this progress, when do you expect this car to be manufactured, then put into production, and finally launched to the market."

Zhou Gong shook his head when he heard this and said, "I'm really hard to judge. According to the normal progress, if everything goes well, it will take at least two to three years, or even longer. This is also common in the world."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "It's too long, we can't afford to wait for such a long time, I need this car to be put on the market in the summer of [-] at the latest. You know, too long research and development Cycles can easily lead to technological updates. In this way, our sales in the international market will be affected, which is undoubtedly fatal to us. After all, on this wheeled armored vehicle, we have invested There are so many, we must see some results.”

Hearing this, Zhou Gong nodded silently, and then sighed: "Don't worry, we will do our best. The deadline is the summer of [-], and we promise to deliver the finished car drawings and various data within this time. Production workshop!"

"Well, that's good." Jiang Chen nodded.
