The tank test site in Tieling of the Republic is absolutely in line with its own name, except for the off-road test project for tanks, there is nothing else similar to artillery targeting, in fact, if there is no beam Yuan crossed a bar, the Tieling tank test site will slowly decline.

However, for the tank maneuver test carried out at this time, the test plant was completely sufficient, muddy roads and swamp puddles of more than one meter, steep slopes, slopes, pebble ground, continuous uphill and downhill, battlefield trenches, cement platforms, etc., and even in order to correspond to the highland sandy climate of Pakistan, several continuous undulating sand hills were artificially built near the small river beach adjacent to the test site.

The occasion when the Republican Army came into contact with turboshaft engines was still on the helicopters of the Army of the Army of the Army of the Republic in the early nineties, which was a proper high-tech, and there was no workshop for maintaining and testing such equipment at the tank test site.

Due to Li Yuanling's technical strength is concentrated on the Spey project, the localization process of the gem engine is not fast, one year after the project was launched, the localization progress of the gem turboshaft engine is close to 50%, although it seems that the progress is amazing, but because it is simple and easy or Brilliance has a technical foundation has been produced in China, the remaining projects have to be slowly publicized, according to Li Yuanling's estimation that even if everything goes well, it will take two years to complete the localization progress of the entire gem project.

It is also because of this that the current price of gem engines has not been greatly reduced because of localization, only from 300,000 US dollars to 250,000 US dollars, 1.2 million units at the current official exchange rate of 1:4.8 in the Republic, of course, if you refer to the real-time dollar exchange price of the foreign exchange alleys in Beijing, it will be at least 2.6 million units.

The engine is expensive, and the engine-related maintenance and testing equipment is naturally expensive to death, if it really operates according to the formal project, the first batch of research and development funds of the third generation of the main battle tank of the Republic of China will have to spend more than half of the light power system, fortunately, Liang Tuhao is bright, not only provides six gems for free as a backup machine for modification and testing, but also builds a large mobile room in the tank test site as a temporary gem engine maintenance and testing center.

After all, the gem project has Luo Luo's shares and funds in it, even if Luo Luo dozes off with one eye open, it is not good to get a tank in and out of Brilliance Park all day long.

After stepping out of the Volga car, Putin roughly observed the surrounding environment, and then carefully looked at the large prefabricated house on the test site.

In Putin's eyes, this tank test site is not even qualified in the Soviets, and the entire car park environment is basically unobstructed in the field of vision, and the scale is small, although the test items look quite complete, but there is not even a test building in the entire test site, and even some buildings are still coping with mobile houses painted with white paint, which is in line with the Soviet delegation's perception of the republic's consistent backwardness and poverty.

The three-day display of the results of socialist reform was almost comparable to that of the drunken fans of advanced capitalism, and while enjoying it, many comrades of the Soviet delegation were a little overwhelmed.

The republic's gas turbine tank is still running tests, but the Soviet Union's gas turbine tank has long been in active service, and this gap makes Lao Maozi once again establish the self-confidence of a superpower, and completely throw away the little dirt bun sentiment that has just been born.

When the hull of the 59 tank, equipped with a gas turbine, appeared, many members of the Soviet delegation could not help but laugh.

The flat tail of the original Type 59 tank bulged up a large chunk, bulging up to half the height of the 59 circular turret, and two large round exhaust fans were erected high like two eyes staring at the rear.

It was obvious at a glance that if the Republic insisted on using gas turbines as the power core, the hull of the Republic's next-generation main battle tank might undergo significant changes, and it was obvious that the power compartment of the Type 59 tank, which was less than four cubic meters, could not fit a complete set of jewel engines without enlarging the hull.

Due to his professional factors, Putin is well-informed, and in order to get a more accurate first-hand information, he chose to follow Yuli Viktor, an engineer from the Ukrainian Malshev Mechanical Factory, in the delegation.

"Valodya, judging by the appearance of the experimental hull, the application of gas turbines to the armored forces of the army of the republic is not something that can be completed in the short term. ”

"From the appearance of the estimate, this power core needs at least six cubic meters of installation space, our neighbor's tank design has always been based on imitation of the Soviet technical route, such a big change in the hull, not to mention this imitation of our tank technology neighbor, even the Soviet has to spend two or three years to re-adapt to the design of the large hull. ”

Yuri Victor shook his head as he pointed to Wujiu Gai, who was having fun on the sand hill.

According to public information, the power core used for the test of the Type 59 tank is likely to be a jewel turboshaft engine from Europe, and it stands to reason that the power package should not have such a large volume. ”

"All I can say is that it's a difference in the choice of technology route, and our neighbors seem to prefer the Western technology roadmap of gas turbines with two-stage air filters. ”

The Soviet T80 tank was limited to a narrow power compartment of only 3.1 cubic meters, and although it was also a gas turbine tank, it took a slightly different technical route than the American one.

The T80 tank is equipped with GTD1000 series of gas turbines are equipped with maintenance-free single-stage boxless filters, if from the perspective of the world war, the T80 tank makes such a choice, according to the Soviet Union's three-dimensional large-depth combat theory at this time, even if a tank is lucky, the service life is a matter of three battles, and the Soviet Red Army will either drink the Atlantic Ocean or experience the radiation plot after the three battles, and what maintenance is not maintained is an unimportant factor.

In addition, from the data, the maintenance-free single-stage boxless filter can filter out 98% of the sand and dust foreign matter when the engine is intake, and only 2% of the powder state sand and dust will be mixed in the air and enter the combustion chamber, which will not affect the use of the tank in the short term in terms of the durability of the turbine system.

The route adopted by the U.S. M1 series tanks is to add a large two-cubic-meter filter-type air filter on the basis of the Soviet-style, and the second-stage purification device can 100% purify the 2% powdery dust missed by the first-stage purification device, so as to ensure that the gas turbine can reach the design life.
