Chapter 433: Domestic Composite Armor

"Comrade Chaoyang is indeed right!" As soon as Xie Chaoyang finished his words with a glimmer of excitement, Lao Che picked up the conversation again, but he was not as excited as Xie Chaoyang, but he was not as nervous as most cadres talking about technology at the moment, after all, he was one of the few people in this conference room who knew a lot about military technology.

Because of this, he spoke without hurry, and his metallic square-rimmed glasses reflected a bright sheen in the roof light, combined with his gray-haired, short, thin but elegant temperament, made him speak even more politely:

"Needless to say, the Americans' fire control system, their small ballistic computers, optical instruments, and the accuracy of artillery two-way stabilizers are all world-leading products, from the American M60 tank, Japan's Type 74 tank and the British Chieftain tank, The large-scale application of Germany's Leopard tank and Israel's Merkava tank can be seen, especially in several large-scale wars between Israel and Arab countries in the Middle East, the excellent performance of the US fire control system is also a strong proof.

There is also the situation of composite armor, in this regard we started relatively late, the foundation is very thin, although we have also carried out preliminary exploration, but compared with the world's advanced armor technology is still very backward, and the United States armor technology was not outstanding in World War II, but since the sixties began to develop extremely rapidly, especially with the cooperation with Britain and Germany, so that the United States has benefited a lot in armor technology"

The old car obviously has the bearing and knowledge of a technical cadre, the composition of the composite armor of the tank and the various parts of the fire control system, the development of China, Western Europe, the Soviet Union, and the United States in this regard, and the importance of the fire control system to the combat of tank armored vehicles and the actual combat situation.

Even Lu Jiadong, who talked eloquently before, couldn't help but secretly admire. I didn't expect Xie Chaoyang to have such a powerful helper, not only the tank technology is like a treasure, but even the relevant historical development and related combat examples are also easy to come by, effortlessly, just based on this alone, Lu Jiadong can only say that this old man is very powerful. But I can't talk about admiration.

In fact, before coming to the venue for the meeting, Lu Jiadong did not know what the new tank jointly developed by the North Factory and the American Gage Xinda Company looked like.

But when Lu Jiadong sat down in his seat and looked at the still flickering curtain, the mighty and domineering tank immediately gave him a sense of familiarity that he had not seen for a long time, and then the word "jaguar" appeared in his mind. For this tank, Lu Jiadong should be said to have a deep impression.

Because in later generations, Lu Jiadong had participated in the improvement and research and development of the 59 type, and at the first technology research and development meeting after the establishment of the research and development team, several old experts who participated in the research and development invariably introduced this Sino-US cooperative research and development, but the little-known "Jaguar" tank.

Since it was the first time Lu Jiadong participated in the research and development of tanks, he was deeply impressed by all the details, including the meaningful but point-to-point "Jaguar" tank in the mouth of old experts, but Lu Jiadong's understanding of "Jaguar" was all this. It wasn't long before he was transferred out of the Type 59 tank improvement project, but the little-known tank was deeply embedded in his mind.

And because of that. When he saw the familiar image on the screen, he was naturally able to bring out the memories rooted in his mind at the first time, and therefore, Lu Jiadong changed the established strategy and successfully led the focus of the topic to the technical category that he was familiar with, just because he only had a general understanding through the mouths of a few old experts at that time. In addition, it didn't take long for him to be hurriedly transferred, and although Lu Jiadong was deeply impressed by this "Jaguar" tank, he didn't have much in-depth understanding.

Therefore, when he saw the adoption of the 105mm tank gun, which was based on the L7 tank gun, he used the artillery and ammunition technology he was familiar with as a breakthrough and prepared to overthrow it in one fell swoop. As for the armor system, power system, and fire control system, which are hidden in the tank, firstly, because they cannot be seen and cannot be determined, and secondly, Lu Jiadong does not know much about its structure and characteristics, so he does not dare to draw conclusions easily.

Unexpectedly, sitting in Vice Premier W's old car, he keenly saw the focus and vacancy that Lu Jiadong was talking about, and with a few simple words, he restored the balance that Lu Jiadong had pressed down again.

However, it is precisely this that also makes Lu Jiadong very confused, since the old car has such insight and excellent technical foundation, how can he not see the defects and problems of the plan of the North Factory, but blindly help and assist Xie Chaoyang?

"Maybe there's something else going on!"

couldn't figure it out, Lu Jiadong could only sigh softly in a meaningful but ambiguous way, but when Lu Jiadong thought about it like this, a pair of knife-like heavy eyebrows couldn't help but twist into a pimple slightly, and his face became gloomy, and such a look fell into Xie Chaoyang's eyes, which can be said to have dispersed all the dark clouds in his heart, and Vice Premier W, who was sitting next to him, also breathed a sigh of relief slightly.

Whether it is Vice Premier W or Xie Chaoyang, neither of them can see that Lu Jiadong wants to seek a breakthrough in the field of technology, but the two of them are too superstitious about American technology, and they only feel that the tank that applies American technology is not a breakthrough but a southern wall like an iron wall.

Unexpectedly, the indestructible copper wall in the hearts of the two of them was like paper paste in front of Lu Jiadong, and it would be broken in a bucket, not only that, but Lu Jiadong also erected a stronger technical barrier in front of the two with his excellent technical knowledge and profound academic reserves, so that Vice Premier W and Xie Chaoyang had a feeling of throwing a stone on their own feet, and at the same time, they also had a feeling that they were dumb and couldn't say what they were suffering from.

If Lu Jiadong talks about the principles and policy guidelines of Marxism~Lenin, he doesn't need Vice Premier W to make a move, and Xie Chaoyang's experience over the years alone is enough to refute Lu Jiadong speechless, after all, they can't do anything else for so many years, but they have extraordinary skills in this regard that are difficult for others to achieve.

Once it comes to technical things, they don't dare to explain them at will, because technical things are yes, no, no, there is no room to talk, and there is no broad space to play.

What's more, in front of so many senior leading cadres, if they blindly adhere to the wrong technical theories and outdated production processes, not only will they not get the sympathy and understanding of others, but they will be ridiculed as incompetent, so the two of them are under a series of forced questions by Lu Jiadong, and it is very difficult to ride a tiger, and finally Vice Premier W can only give the old car next to him a look, but fortunately, the old car did not disappoint, and the seriously tilted balance was pressed back again in just a few words.

But as the saying goes, some people are happy, some people are worried, Vice Premier W and Xie Chaoyang were relieved because of the old car's words, but Qian Lei, who was sitting next to Lu Jiadong, was worried again, in fact, when Lu Jiadong had the upper hand, Qian Lei naturally understood it, and even secretly applauded in his heart, praising Lu Jiadong for his unique vision and cutting into tricks, but after the old car reversed the situation in a few words, he began to worry about whether Lu Jiadong was too aggressive, so that now there is little room for redemption.

It's just that whether it is Vice Premier W and Xie Chaoyang's happiness in stabilizing his mind, or Qian Lei's worries around him, it has not changed Lu Jiadong's calm state of mind as always, he is still quiet, still quietly listening to the old car's narration:

"I will not go into too much detail about the advanced fire control system of the United States, its technological advancement can be said to be universally recognized, and here I will focus on the composite armor technology provided by the Gage Xinda Company of the United States, the source of which is the MBT-70 tank jointly developed by the United States and Germany in the 60s.

As he spoke, the old car picked up the teacup in front of him and took two sips, then raised his gray eyebrows upward, and continued to say with a smile:

Although the tank was not formed for various reasons, the relevant technology was applied to the subsequent tank research and development of the two countries, such as the German Leopard 2 tank, and the new tank being developed by the United States have inherited and carried forward the MBT-70 tank technology, of which the composite armor technology is one of the most important technological achievements. ”

Before the old car finished speaking, he couldn't help but pause, and then a flush of excitement flashed on his polite face, and then continued with a slightly trembling voice:

"And after negotiations, we have asked the US side to completely transfer this unique advanced armor technology to us, which is really the most advanced armor technology in the world, not only simple in structure, but also completely beyond the level of the Soviet T-72!"

After the old man said this, he turned his head to Lu Jiadong's side again, and smiled gently: "Comrade Xiao Lu, I don't know if you have anything else to add?"

"I can't talk about it, but I think that the composite armor with the same 'sandwich' structure is not necessarily better than our domestic armor provided to us!" Lu Jiadong still has an indifferent look and a very calm attitude, but it is this unhurried sentence that shocked the old car and everyone present involuntarily (to be continued. )
