The armor welding process that has plagued the new tank leading group for a long time has finally been satisfactorily resolved, but to everyone's surprise, it is Liu Tongkang who can only be opportunistic and show off in the eyes of everyone who has completed this arduous task.

Of course, there are also well-informed people in the Wanshan factory, knowing that the reason why Liu Tongkang was able to break through the bottleneck of the welding process so quickly is because of Lu Jiadong's teaching, and even Liu Tongkang has said on different occasions that it is Lu Jiadong's guidance to break through the technical dilemma, but Lu Jiadong does not care about this, for him, cultivating a skilled technical personnel is much more practical than getting a vague praise, if the research and manufacture of a weapon and equipment, just by a person's mind to turn and jump out alive, it is simply God, not man！

Lu Jiadong is a human being, not a detached god, in addition to mastering some later generations of experience, Lu Jiadong thinks that he is not much better than the current people, at least in terms of theoretical skills, he is not as deep and solid as Yang Hongyi, Zhao Rusong and others; in terms of insisting on his own point of view, he is not as good as Liang Shouye as always; in terms of hard research, diligent study and inquiry, he is not as diligent and careful as Zhu Guangrong, Zhu Haifeng and others; in terms of keeping an eye on the frontier and constantly innovating, he is not as good as Zhong Xiaomo, Song Xiaofeng and others have a keen eye, even in the welding aspect of overcoming difficulties, they are not as skilled as Liu Tongkang, and the technique is exquisite.

If you have to say one of Lu Jiadong's strengths, it is threading the needle. Because he is like a needle, connecting a group of old experts and technical backbones in series to form an organic whole, and at the same time, it also completely links domestic and foreign countries. Form a virtuous cycle of interaction.

Because of this, Lu Jiadong prefers to think of himself as a child playing on the beach, because by chance, there are more opportunities to get beautiful shells, and those adults who are looking for it by the sea are not incapable, but they lack an opportunity. As long as you give them the shells, you will definitely be able to achieve extraordinary results.

The Chinese nation itself is a nation of wisdom, and there is no shortage of Chinese scientific and technological workers who are outstanding in their fields. They do not lack solid theories and superior abilities, what they lack is only an opportunity, an opportunity for them to shine, and an opportunity for this ancient nation to rise again

So. Lu Jiadong can hand over the core technology of the "Chobham" armor to Zhu Haifeng to study; Therefore, Lu Jiadong was able to explain the M25A64D fire control system, MB870Ka-500 diesel engine, XHM-1500 transmission system, And the high-performance torsion bar suspension system was handed over to the corresponding joint manufacturers for digestion and development, in order to be this opportunity, an opportunity to start with a new tank and create a Chinese military industrial hegemon, and this opportunity, with the formal assembly of the new tank half a month later, also began to turn from a dream into a reality step by step

When the morning glow of late autumn shone in the tank assembly workshop of the Wanshan Factory. The busy scene in full swing has long made people forget the coolness of autumn, and all that is left is full of enthusiasm and energy:

"Okay, okay, okay! Okay, that's good!"

Liu Tongkang, who has served as the leader of the welder squad, commanded the crane driver with a walkie-talkie to hoist the heavy armor plate to a suitable position, and then beckoned, and the team workers began to disassemble the cable and fix the welding fixture, after all the preparations were ready.

On the side of the welding platform, the electroslag welder that has been ready for a long time is like a rooster flapping its wings, and the nozzle and bracket are like the rooster's sharp beak and claws, aiming at the gap between the two armor plates fixed by the clamp, only to see a flash of bright light, the "rooster" mouth will make a sizzling sound, followed by a fiery red welding wire, the high-temperature welding fire immediately melts the welding wire into molten steel, slowly flows into the gap between the armor steel plates, and firmly connects the two steel plates together with solidified molten steel.

Liu Tongkang's whole body was reflected red by the welding fire, his face was flooded, and his work clothes were like a layer of gold, but his expression was unusually focused, staring closely at every movement of the welding machine through the eyes of the mask, when the last gap was completely filled, Liu Tongkang immediately turned off the welding machine in his hand, and shouted:

"Xiao Li, you come to operate the next one, Lao Wang, adjust the argon arc welding machine, Sun Fatzi, find out the bow fixture, He Shun will show me the time"

With Liu Tongkang's order, the entire welding team began to act, and when it was ready, Liu Tongkang jumped on the body that had been half completed, and began to repair the armor steel plate completed by electroslag welding with a welding gun, and then carried out cooling observation, ultrasonic flaw detection, hardness testing, immersion test and other inspections, and then began to weld the next section of armor plate.

In the following half a month, after artillery installation, turret integration, interior wiring, power system hoisting, transmission system debugging, fire control system testing and vehicle performance evaluation, the long-awaited new tank finally drove off the production line slowly with the roar of the roaring engine:

The modern shape of the water chestnut, with the low body, and the 45 times caliber 120mm smoothbore gun built by using the self-tightening of the body tube and electroslag remelting technology, make the new tank look powerful at the same time, but also give it super combat ability, especially the matching 120mm long rod sub-caliber shelling and armor-piercing projectile, which makes the new tank have the ability to tear the armor of any tank in the world at a distance of 2 kilometers.

The unique vertical sliding bolt structure, which was developed from the British "Chieftain" tank, together with the addition of an air extraction device and a thermal sheath on the barrel, allowed the new tank to achieve an average rate of fire of 6 rounds per minute even without an automatic loader, even if it was a maximum shot. It can even reach an astonishing rate of fire of 12 rounds per minute.

The muzzle indicator and the M24 two-way stabilizer installed in the turret were born from the American Gage Cinda Company, and the new domestic SW-3 two-way stabilization system developed can enable the new tank to drive at high speeds. The artillery can always aim at the target smoothly, and the domestically produced LJ-5 "hunt-annihilation" fire control system developed on the basis of the fire control system of the M25A64D tank in the United States has made the new tank more deaf and clear-sighted.

In particular, the independent observation and sighting system between the commander and the gun commander not only allows the commander to hit the target while the commander can search for the target without interruption, but also can directly pass the commander when encountering a threat. Attacking directly at the target, coupled with a high-performance on-board computer, and the amazing rate of fire and excellent performance of the tank gun. The striking efficiency, accuracy and endurance of the new tank have reached the world's advanced level!

In terms of armor protection, thanks to Zhu Haifeng's research results on the "Chobham" armor, the defense power of the frontal main armor of the new tank has reached 790mm homogeneous armor, and the armor-piercing projectile with metal jet as the main attack mode has reached an astonishing 880mm homogeneous armor.

As for the bottom and side secondary parts of the new tank. as well as the top of the turret. Because the production capacity of the "Chobham" armor is insufficient, the old-fashioned chrome jade steel composite armor is used, and the approximate defense power is 400~600mm homogeneous armor, coupled with the fire extinguishing and explosion suppression system with excellent performance in the car, which is enough to keep the members of the car safe and sound!

Of course, this combination of new and old armor also reduces the cost of the new tank, and the weight of the whole vehicle is also controlled at 48 tons, which is imported from the United States Gage Cinda Company with imitation. MB870Ka-500 1200 horsepower diesel engine with German origin,

and the matching XHM-1500 transmission system. The new tank has unparalleled advantages in both mobility and handling, especially the speed of 72 kilometers per hour and the mileage of 450 kilometers per hour, which not only makes the new tank a cheetah running wild on the battlefield, but also makes it have superior long-lasting combat capabilities!

In addition, in terms of maintainability, adhering to the fine tradition of Wanshan Factory, the maintenance of the new tank is also extremely convenient, especially in the maintenance of the harsh environment, the new tank does its best to achieve simple and convenient replacement and maintenance

"Of course, there are many deficiencies in this!" When Lu Jiadong introduced the new tank to Xu Yuan, deputy director of the General Staff Armament Department, who came to inspect the Wanshan Plant, he did not blindly boast but said truthfully:

"For example, the automatic filling machine was not installed because it was not overcome, and there was a night vision system, which was much worse in function than that of American origin due to the lack of our optical processing capabilities, and"

"It's already very good!" Before Lu Jiadong finished speaking, Xu Yuan, who had served as the leader of the new tank leading group, interrupted Lu Jiadong with a smile:

"The clever integration of British armor and artillery control, American-style fire control systems, German-born power plants, and Israeli fire suppression and communications command equipment in a single vehicle is a remarkable achievement in itself!"

As he spoke, Xu Yuan shifted his gaze from the new tank to Lu Jiadong, looked up and down carefully, and then continued with a meaningful smile:

"Of course, if there was no soul like you, it would not be possible to have today's new tanks, so Commander Jiang of the Navy is looking forward to it, and I hope that you Xiaolu can apply the experience of the new tanks to the newly established naval and air equipment research group."

"Chief Master Lu, your emergency call!"

Without waiting for Xu Yuan to finish speaking, Liu Liang handed an urgent telegram to Lu Jiadong, Lu Jiadong opened it and looked at it, and his brows suddenly twisted into a pimple:

"Minister Xu, it seems that the experience cannot be generalized anywhere" (to be continued.) )
