The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

It has to be said that the manufacturing difficulty and simple structure of the Tesla turbine engine are simpler than that of the piston type, Parsons type steam turbine or other types of bladed engines, and the distance between the coaxial disks is not so strict. Chips can withstand centrifugal force, they can work at different speeds.For example, the hard disk used by our computer is fine. If you are interested, find a waste hard disk to do it yourself.

The production is also relatively simple. The first batch of fully automated manipulator production lines that have been built can easily produce a batch of nickel-chromium steel discs. A light tank that is temporarily unavailable without a suitable engine.

Zhu Bin is a staunch cannon advocate. He has always believed that only large enough and enough cannons can guarantee victory over all enemies. He has no money for the Starship Command Academy. When he enjoys virtual games, he chooses equipment with kinetic energy. Attacking warships with more weapons, they use intensive artillery fire to completely kill their opponents on a super-long space scale!

In this backward world where he can let him do whatever he wants, once the wishes he has held back for 20 years are released, the various ideas in his head are formally put into reality, and of course they are out of control.Not to mention light weapons. In terms of army heavy weapons, a general-purpose platform "Badger" armored vehicle has not yet completed its derivative design. Its armor, firepower, speed and performance are already ahead of the armored vehicles of all countries in the world today, but he thinks Far from being satisfied, he urged a group of Chinese and German experts from the Institute of Armored Technology to develop the second armored platform "Leopard" light tank non-stop.

Experiment day.Lin Bosen and Ding Shunnian, who presided over the research on armored weapons, dragged out the heavy samples with a trailer with helpless faces.When we arrived at the armored test site in the valley, a group of guys from the Marine Corps rushed to join in the fun. When we saw the size of the body and asked about the weight and tonnage, we couldn't calm down immediately!

As the head of the armored regiment, Wang Haiqing couldn't believe it. Pointing to the 6.45-meter-long, 3-meter-wide steel giant with a 52-caliber high-pressure rifled gun and a weight of 26 tons, he asked Zhu Bin: "You said this thing is a light tank?! Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?!"

It's not just him, except for the engineers, all the officers are staring at me, am I wrong?Such a heavy thing dares to be called light, so what does your heavy look like? !

Zhu Bin glanced at them.He hummed: "What's the fuss? This tonnage is barely considered light! The barrel of the gun is only one meter, which is too small. At least 105 mm is barely qualified. Anything under 35 tons can only be considered light. The caliber of the gun is in the Anything over 120 mm and weighing over 50 tons is considered heavy, this is a so-so thing that can’t even stop anti-tank guns, so it can’t be put on the battlefield!”

Wang Haiqing and his gang almost vomited blood!He stared at Zhu Bin in a daze for a long time, and then he understood that in the eyes of this boss, the world's judgment standards are not up to standard! 105 mm is considered qualified... Boss, that gun weighs too much!If you want to carry it with a weight of 35 tons, the tank must be made of paper!

Never seen the real thing.People these days really don't believe that they can do so outrageously, a fifty-ton guy... can he run?

As the leader of the armored corps, Wang Haiqing has a good understanding of related technologies, and has some experience in the application of armored weapons. After all, he has been tossing about in the virtual training ground for three or four months!I just haven't seen a similar tank.He is also very clear that a weapon like a tank requires thick armor, strong firepower, and fast speed. It is basically a battleship on land. If the three items are not up to standard, it will not be effective.

Nowadays, research on diesel engines and gasoline engines cannot keep up.After achieving 200 horsepower, the physique will exceed the standard. The basic engine, gearbox and main drive system occupy too much space and weight in the car body, and the strength is not very sufficient. It is still far from the expected goal, but in Chinese battlefield.It is enough to deal with Japan.But today, it seems that he is still far from the realm of Boss Zhu!

Um.It's just that the crooked realm is not enough!

Looking at a group of doubtful expressions that clearly disapproved, Zhu Bin asked the sky speechlessly, hey, the realm that no one can understand, ah loneliness!

Don't say 35 tons, what is the so-called heavy tank of 50 tons?A mere 120mm smoothbore gun, staggering and crawling, is too monotonous.The land battleship in my mind must have at least seven or eight turrets, or gun barrels mounted side by side, weighing several hundred tons, sweeping the battlefield with two to three hundred mm cannons, despite the indiscriminate bombardment. Don't move, that's the realm of the Iron Army!

Wang Haiqing saw that he couldn't communicate, so he simply climbed in to find out.

According to the introduction, the design concept of this "Leopard" light tank is in the same line as the "Badger" armored vehicle. They are both standard platform structures, and weapons and auxiliary devices can be flexibly configured according to needs.There are still five pairs of road wheels, two pairs of induction wheels at the front and rear, wider tracks and car body, longer car body, 60-degree inclined front armor, and track protective armor on both sides, fully welded wedge-shaped flat turret, one parallel 7.62 heavy machine gun, a dual-purpose heavy machine gun with a rear engine.

A four-person crew is adopted, 1 driver, 1 shell loader, 1 machine gunner, 1 commander, electronically controlled side-by-side machine guns and a rotating turret mechanism.With two parallel Tesla turbines, designed with a strong output power of up to 640 horsepower, driving a motor, this 26-ton guy can run 65 kilometers at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour.

What a pleasant surprise is the strength of the armor this guy has.The 100 front armor made of high-strength alloy is equivalent to 250 homogeneous steel plates, and the side armor is equivalent to 120. The specially designed composite active reactive armor is thick enough to defend against armor-piercing strikes within 500. This level , basically can run amok.

"It's a good thing!" Wang Haiqing climbed into the car in twos and twos, called several company-level officers to act as followers, and started the tank with the electronic ignition switch, when he heard a low humming sound coming from behind, bringing You can hardly hear the general silence with headphones!Even the whole tank didn't feel much vibration, which was completely different from the roar of diesel engines before!

Wang Haiqing was secretly surprised!Unexpectedly, it has such an effect!Such silence is much smaller than that of a car. If this is to reduce the impact and crisp sound of the track running as much as possible, this tank can appear like a ghost, and sneak attack in the middle of the night!

"Hiss! Oh, Boss Zhu has an extraordinary shot!"

According to the instructions, keep hitting the accelerator, increase the engine speed to 3500 rpm, release the clutch suddenly, and hear a slight collision of the transmission gearbox under the buttocks, and the heavy car body rushes out like a frightened mule. It was so big that for a moment the heavy body of the car unstoppably jumped ten or twenty centimeters!

Faint blue smoke blows out from the exhaust pipe at the bottom of the car body, which is not very conspicuous from a distance. The benefits of placing the engine under the middle are obvious, and it is not easy to be hit from all directions. Gasoline exerts a surge of power that is not inferior to diesel , Pushing the heavy tank quickly accelerated to a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, running crazily along the rugged test site in the mountains with a width of 500 meters!

Wang Haiqing could hardly hear the sound of the engine in the driver's seat, only the clang and crisp sound of the track collision could be heard densely, and the bright field of view from the folding mirror at the bottom was not at all uncomfortable. The superior hydraulic suspension system makes him feel less bumpy, and the ventilation system ensures the circulation and freshness of the internal air at any time. When this tank is driven, it is no different from a car!

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Look at the limit of the engine!"

Zhu Bin kept urging on the radio, and Wang Haiqing was also addicted to it. He kept hitting the accelerator, watching the astonishing speed of the engine speed passing through 5000, 6000, and straight to 9000 rpm. The speed of kilometers per hour, but hearing the movement of the track turning in the ears is a bit strange!

But it feels so good!Think about it, the 26-ton behemoth actually gets the thrill of a sports car-like posture, where can such a good thing be found?

Wang Haiqing bangs the accelerator all the way around the field, ran back and forth for at least 360 kilometers, then lowered his speed, manipulated the turret to try to aim and track on the move, and found that the powerful electric drive turret rotated faster than expected. Some people can run around in circles outside, and if they are in a hurry, they can use a cannon to blow people away!The flexible [-]-degree roundabout played dozens of times anyway, aimed at the huge circle target on the concrete wall two kilometers away, and opened fire at the moment when the car body leaped into the air from a small hillside!

"Boom!" The body of the car shook slightly, and a shell rushed out of the slender body at a speed of more than 900 meters per second, and hit the circle accurately in the blink of an eye, and the "boom" exploded!After a shock of gunpowder, a big hole was pierced through the 50 cm thick concrete wall!

"Woohoo! This cannon is powerful!"

Wang Haiqing knew that such destructive power meant that if he faced an ordinary fortress, he would definitely be able to penetrate it with a single shot!The armor-piercing ability of this tank gun is extraordinary!

It took me an hour and a half to toss back and forth in circles. After running more than 100 kilometers, the engine was still working stably and powerfully, without any signs of weakness. What is rare is that the fuel consumption was much lower than expected, and the starting speed and The speed change can be adjusted freely with the throttle, and it is not as troublesome as imagined. From the current point of view, the quality of the Tesla turbo engine is indeed worth using!At least until the high-power and small-sized diesel engine or gasoline engine comes out, this thing has a very high usability!

Two hours later, the tank returned to the starting point and stopped with a "creak". After tossing enough, Wang Haiqing jumped out, sweating profusely, and said to Zhu Bin excitedly: "This is a good thing! Boss Zhu, hurry up and get him more!" Play with a hundred and eighty cars! It's much more powerful than our 'Wolverine'!"

Zhu Bin said with a smile: "Don't worry, when our heavy tanks are also produced, we will upgrade your armored troops together. At that time, we will come to him as a full armored division and sweep the battlefield!" To be continued. .
