Wang Buyan looked around.

The area of this design institute is quite large.

It is estimated that there will be no problem in continuing to recruit dozens of people. Actually, there is no need for so many people.

Ready-made drawings. Just a few modifications according to the level of technology.

The main reason is that Wang Buan himself wants to be lazy.

If he likes to go it alone, he can do it with a robot elf.

The problem is, the robot sprites are too advanced.

Some of its designs, if you are not careful, will open your mind and jump out.

The Apocalypse tank needs to be mass-produced.

It is not possible to leave it all to the industrial park to produce it itself. That would be exhausting.

The industrial park simply supplies raw materials. And the key components. For example, the Rock 150 engine and so on. Other parts need to be produced at other factories.

It is also not possible to assemble in an industrial park. There must be a need to find a separate factory.

Either an existing military-industrial complex.

Either a newly built military-industrial complex.

Wang Buan is inclined to the latter. After all, in the case of the former, all kinds of machinery and equipment are not suitable.

Only the newly built tank factory can be configured on demand to meet the needs of manufacturing Apocalypse tanks.

Special 5-axis CNC linkage machines are required.

A hydraulic press of 500,000 tons is required.

A manipulator is required.

Cranes are needed.

A gantry crane may even be required.

In particular, lithography machines are needed to manufacture the main control chips.

As far as the existing chips in China are concerned, none of them can be transplanted to the Apocalypse Tank.

It must be known that the Apocalypse tank has two tank guns with a caliber of 128 mm and 12 anti-aircraft missiles. If you want to control these weapons and equipment at the same time, it is absolutely impossible to do without a complete set of tight electronic control systems. And other fire control systems are impossible to meet such perverted needs.

In terms of data processing, the CPU chip required by the Apocalypse Tank is also very powerful.

It needs to track at least 12 or more targets at the same time.

When necessary, all 12 anti-aircraft missiles can be fired at the same time.

At present, many radar vehicles can track dozens of targets. However, it was all a separate car. Data transfer is required.

Can the Apocalypse Tank be independent and self-reliant?

Of course.

The massive body has plenty of space.

It can place a sufficiently powerful computer, as well as a sufficiently powerful radar search system.

Nothing is impossible.

As long as you're brave enough to think about it. Go explore.

Peng Deming's hidden task is actually not simple.

It involves a series of industrial upgrades.

If it is possible to produce the Apocalypse Tank. Then the other tanks are a trivial matter.

Let's let Zhong Hui and them do some work.

This is also part of industrial accumulation.

The forging system, hydraulic system, and electronic control system required by the Apocalypse Tank are the foundation of the industry.

If this foundation is done well, the future production of shield machines will not be a big problem.

The EPB is a very serious thing.

He made an appointment with someone else to see him three years later.

You can leave everything else alone, but this three-year covenant must be done with all your might.

"Zhonghui has already done some preliminary work. ”

"I'll see. ”

Zhong Hui hurriedly took out the drawings.

Mainly according to the current level of technology, some of the details have been updated.

For example, the air defense radar has been strengthened.

Previous radars were very large in size.

Today's radars are very lightweight.

However, judging from the performance of the radar, the detection range is still not enough!

Such a small radar can only detect a range of five kilometers.

Obviously, for an airplane, five kilometers is not enough. At least fifty kilometers or more is required.

It would be nice if it was able to reach 100 km.

The farther away you are, the more time the system has to react.

Last time, Wang Bu'an was hurriedly called to Chang'an to calculate some special equations for Ram Yushan.

After that time, Wang Bu'an now knows it. Lao Maozi's anti-aircraft missile, which did not respond at all, was destroyed by the F-15 fighter of a certain country.

Although Lao Maozi's explanation is the negligence of the operator. It's a human error. It has nothing to do with the performance of the anti-aircraft missile itself. However, the international impression of this set of anti-aircraft missiles has been greatly reduced. However, there were no orders later. Even if it was sold before, it is now being picked by a lot. If it weren't for the fear of Lao Maozi's madness, it is estimated that he would return it.

No matter how powerful you brag about it, but the actual combat doesn't work, who believes you?

The same is true of the MiG-29 of yesteryear. It's a lot of boasting.

As a result, the F-15 killed several planes in a row, and it was immediately revealed in its original form, and no one cared about it.

However, then again, the MiG-29 is indeed a very good fighter. Until now, its performance has not been outdated. Repair, modify, sew and repair, or continue to exert residual heat. It's just that Lao Maozi is now greatly injured, and he doesn't have enough funds to upgrade for the time being, which is a pity.

Who would have imagined that the former Red Empire would disintegrate overnight?

Does Wang Buan have the knowledge of radar?

Yes.

Very much.

Interstellar radar has all the technology. Only 100 million Faith points.

Of course, the Apocalypse tank does not use such advanced technology. As long as it leaks a little bit from the finger cracks, it is not a problem to detect 500 kilometers.

This, in turn, involves a branch of industrial technology: radar.

Radar is a very sophisticated instrument.

It involves a lot of various components.

Among them, the most important are electronic components. As a result, it is extended without limit.

The most important thing about electronic components is to process chips and circuit boards.

When it comes to circuit boards, we have to mention SMT......

When it comes to processing chips, we have to mention lithography machines......

Industrial production is always linked to each other. If you don't have one of these links, it's not a finished product. Even a small rubber gasket is indispensable.

The tragedy of the Challenger space shuttle is vividly remembered.

The reason for this is that a small rubber gasket fails.

It is impossible to produce some kind of advanced weapons and equipment out of thin air. There must be corresponding raw materials. Corresponding manufacturing process.

Why is the price of carbon fiber 1400 so expensive?

Why is polycarbonate so sought-after? It is needed to make the cockpit of fighter jets.

As for titanium alloys, zirconia ceramics or something, the same is true.

They all have very specific uses.

If there were no such raw materials, many weapons and equipment would have to be greatly discounted.

It's like a formal rifle during the Anti-Japanese War. The technology is there. The manufacturing process is also there. It's just that the raw materials are not up to par. So the quality is always inferior to the original German.

There are also those imitation Czech light machine guns and shell guns, which are basically pulled up a few notches in terms of raw materials.

Even railroad rails were used to make firearms. It can only be said that it is too distressing.

In a blink of an eye, three days passed.

Several people studied the details of the Apocalypse Tank in simple terms.

The basic technical parameters are determined.

The length is still 11 meters, the width is still 5 meters, and the weight is still about 110 tons.

Double barrels. Caliber 120 mm. 75 times caliber.

The maximum rate of fire of a single gun is 12 rounds per minute.

The maximum rate of fire of the twin artillery cycle is 18 rounds per minute.

The maximum range of flat fire of artillery shells is 25 km. The maximum range of the upward fire is 50 km. The farthest drop point is about 80 km.

At a distance of 2000 meters, the thickness of armor piercing is 1500 mm.

Armed with 12 anti-aircraft missiles.

It is powered by a Panshi 500 engine. 10,000 horsepower. Cruising range: unlimited.

Paired with a water molecule synthesizer.

Equipped with air conditioning.

After determining the basic technical parameters, it is time to discuss the manufacturing process and how to reduce costs.

The most important feature of armored vehicles is that they win by numbers.

In other words, on the basis of ensuring a certain quality, it is necessary to expand the quantity as much as possible. to form a scale advantage.

If there are only a few dozen, a few hundred, it is obviously of little use.

During World War II, the Germans were mighty with Tiger tanks. It's a sweep. However, once you encounter a large number of Shermans, or a large number of T34s, it will be tragic immediately.

In a sense, quantity is also an aspect of quality.

There are not enough numbers, and they just rely on fighting alone, and they are always invincible with two fists and four hands.

The quantity is related to the construction cost.

The lower the cost, the better.

The simpler the process, the better.

The cost of a 99A is only more than 16 million yuan.

However, if it is equipped with 1,000 vehicles, it will be more than 16 billion yuan. The amount is still very impressive.

The cost of your Apocalypse should not exceed 30 million yuan.

Otherwise, there is no value for money.

Others would rather have two 99As than one Apocalypse.

After all, the weight of 110 tons is completely useless except for the vast plains north of the Yellow River. The scope of use is extremely limited.

While everyone was discussing the technical details of the Apocalypse Tank, there was also a small episode.

This little episode is the modification of the diesel engine of the 96A tank.

You can't equip the Rock 150 engine because it's going to be a race abroad.

In case of any accident, it is equivalent to a sample falling into someone else's hands.

What to do?

Retrofitting of existing diesel engines.

For example, replacing with better quality raw materials and updating manufacturing processes.

Peng Deming looked at Wang Bu'an expectantly.

For this kind of thing, he must turn to Wang Bu'an for help.

Previously, he was going to take the Rock 150 to the competition. But it was vetoed by the leadership.

Rock 150 is still classified for the time being. It cannot be taken out of the country.

He had no choice but to ask Wang Buan to transform the diesel engine.

Wang Buan will definitely not refuse!

This kind of thing that can win glory for the country, he must raise his hands and feet in favor.

He used the robot wizard to modify, upgrade, and replace some of the key parts of the existing diesel engine.

Overall, the motivation is about 30% higher. Fuel consumption has dropped by about 30%.

1200 horsepower increased by 30% to more than 1500 horsepower. Huge positive.

A 30% reduction in fuel consumption means that the reserve fuel can be used for a longer period of time. What used to last only three hours can now last for four hours.

"Hey, I should have taken you abroad to compete. It's a pity that the leadership will definitely not approve. Peng Deming said with emotion.

"If you don't believe in my character, you have to believe in my product. Wang Buan responded lightly.
