Simple maintenance.

Easy to maintain.

It is best to have a few hammers, a few hammers, a few wrenches, and a few screwdrivers. I really can't do it, kick it again.

It is estimated that such a weapon is absolutely welcome!

"I'll arrange it. ”

Cheng Kailong's eyes swirled.

From Wang Buan's words, he smelled a lot of business opportunities.

If you work together with the relevant departments, you may be able to make a loud advertisement.

You see, our oldest Type 59 tanks are so awesome, so, our latest VT-4 export series or something, do you need to talk about it?

"Be sure, though, you can't mess it up. ”

"Sure. ”

Wang Buan said confidently.

Messed up?

How can it be?

Wang Buan is ready to re-produce all the necessary parts.

with the best materials.

Even if it's a spare track, use the best cemented carbide.

Of course, a 100-mm rifled gun was not necessary. This thing is not needed for the time being. Just keep it as it is.

After some detailed calculations, Wang Buan found that there are not many parts to be produced.

Most of the parts can be used even after being strengthened.

For example, the turret or something, there is no need to change it.

The above renovation plan does not include a sleek turret.

The side skirt armor also does not need to be changed.

Anyway, it had little effect on the long-distance operation of the tank.

The most important transformation, in fact, is the power system. and components that may be affected by the powertrain.

That's the key to that.

Load-bearing wheels, tracks or something, must be strengthened.

If they weren't strong enough, they wouldn't be able to withstand such a long journey. What's more, the environment is so harsh.

Fourteen tanks.

Fourteen sets of Panshi 150 diesel engines.

Fourteen pocket-sized water-molecule synthesizers.

Fourteen miniature air conditioners.

Taking into account the very distant polar trek, the Rock 150 modified some parameters.

Wang Bu'an completely canceled diesel combustion.

In other words, you don't need to consume diesel again.

The Panshi 150 diesel engine is actually a bull's head and a horse's mouth. It has nothing to do with diesel at all. However, for the sake of secrecy, it continues to be called a diesel engine.

Since the elimination of oil combustion, more space can be made for hydrogen combustion, so its actual power can be made even more.

Previously, the Panshi 150 was rated at 1700K and the peak power was around 2500K.

Now, that number can be doubled directly.

At the same time, the engine can be made smaller, freeing up excess space.

In addition, there is one more important point.

The fuel tank can now be canceled.

The original fuel tank volume could hold 800 litres of diesel, but now that it has been removed, it is equivalent to almost 1 cubic meter of space.

For the narrow space of the tank, this is a very large surplus.

It's a pity that Wang Buan can't change it much.

If it has been overhauled, it will not be a Type 59 tank.

The original fuel tank can be used as a sundries tank.

All the clutter in the cockpit, as well as excess shells or something, can be temporarily placed in the utility compartment.

In addition, if you are in danger, you can also escape from the utility compartment.

Wang Bu'an once wanted to turn this place into a refrigerator.

The refrigerator can store a lot of food!

After thinking about it, I gave up.

Whose tank needs to be put in the refrigerator?

Even the tyrants of the Middle East do not have such luxury.

However, the refrigerator can be used as an optional part for those big dogs to consider. If you really want to install it, it's perfectly fine.

At present, the volume of household refrigerators on the market is generally between 100-300 liters. And this fuel tank was converted into a refrigerator, which is 800 liters.

With such a large refrigerator, how many drinks can it hold? Don't be too upset, big dogs.

"Here they are. Cheng Kailong said suddenly.

"Warm welcome!" Wang Buan raised his head and saw his three families appear.

Wang Tianlai. Conductor.

Wang Yongbo. Loader.

Hao. Driver.

They arrived first and joined Wang Buan.

Before officially starting the polar journey, the three of them must have to pre-operate a wave. It's definitely not okay to rush into battle.

The same goes for the modification of tanks.

Start by modifying one and see how it goes. Deficiencies are found and corrected in a timely manner.

After a simple politeness, let's get to the point.

Wang Hao is the driver. He has a specific itinerary in his hands. The general plan of march is also in charge of his control.

The journey is very long, certainly more than 4000 km.

Because there are some special tests to be carried out on the road, it is necessary to detour.

Due to the influence of the road, the average speed is up to 30 kilometers per hour. In many areas, it may not be reached.

After crossing the Kunlun Pass, after entering the Taklamakan Desert, there is no ready-made road. You can only choose your own path in the long yellow sand.

Due to the influence of yellow sand, the estimated speed of travel is only about 20 kilometers. Sometimes it may be less than 20 kilometers.

"It takes 240 hours to complete the whole trip. Wang Hao said.

"Not only that. We also have some snow line tests among us. Wang Tianlai added, "For example, snow climbing or something. ”

"According to the instructions of the superiors, in order to ensure safety, we can walk for a maximum of 6 hours a day. Based on the speed, it can take a month to two months. Wang Hao said.

"The three of us would take turns driving. Wang Yongbo said, "I am mainly responsible for the support of logistics materials. Due to the large number of logistics materials that need to be carried, it can only be in the form of temporary plug-ins. Therefore, it is necessary to install a protective fence on the outside of the turret to carry supplies. ”

Wang Buan said that it was not a problem.

Install guardrails, that's a very simple thing.

It just feels like the road can be very boring. After all, there's no entertainment in the tank!

However, this is a military weapon! Not an entertainment device.

Hurry up to complete the crossing, and hurry up to start the advertisement is serious.

He's very busy right now. It's hard to spare two months.

Fortunately, it was agreed with the shock wave before, and the user unit could install the hydraulic press and the five-axis CNC linkage machine tool by itself. Otherwise, he simply couldn't get out.

"How long will it take to convert a tank?" Wang Hao said.

"One day. Wang Buan said decisively.

"So fast. ”

"Yes!"

If you don't do it fast, you will have to delay it until the end of the year.

Don't be at that time, the people of the whole country are busy preparing for the New Year, and their group is still watching the stars in the Taklamakan Desert!

Just do it.

Wang Buan immediately began to act.

The data of all parts and components were transmitted back to Qianzhou Industrial Park.

All the robot sprites are busy. They start machining the individual parts in an orderly manner.

The old Type 59 tank, the difficulty of processing parts is actually very low. Its prototype is the T54, a product of the 1950s, where can it be advanced?

Due to the technical limitations of the time, most of them were castings. It seems that the round turret is directly cast. Load-bearing wheels and the like are also very simple processes. So, it's not very bulletproof. All kinds of anti-tank weapons are now able to easily penetrate the main turret head-on. Others are even more vulnerable.

At that time, the Soviet Union was not pursuing high-end quality, but terrifying quantity.

At that time, there were more than 50,000 T54s in the world!

More than 50,000 vehicles.

That's a terrifying number.

Fortunately, World War III did not break out. Otherwise, the sea of tanks will directly bulldoze Europe.

There is no casting process in the industrial park.

How to solve the problem of the turret?

This question is completely unnecessary. Because the retrofit plan doesn't include a sleek turret. Weapon systems are not part of the scope of modifications.

What to do with the tracks?

What to do with the weight wheel?

What about the drivetrain?

Of course, it is the hydraulic press with the CNC machine.

Start assembling.

The first is the chassis. Tungsten carbide chassis. Strong and wear-resistant.

The load wheels and tracks are also made of hard carbide.

Then there is the body. The original body is used.

Then it is time to install the power system.

Diesel engine......

Propulsion ......

Ancient gearbox ......

Basically, the original specifications are copied to ensure that the various parts can be connected.

There have been no technical improvements other than the manufacturing process.

This is also done in accordance with the prescribed charter.

What will be tested above is not Wang Buan's ability to design a brand-new tank.

The above test is the quality of raw materials.

The same design, using different raw materials, and different manufacturing processes, can test how big the gap is.

Then there is the hoisting turret.

The original 100-mm rifled gun continued.

Air conditioning is installed.

Add a pocket water molecule synthesizer.

The size of the Panshi 150 diesel engine is relatively small, and the original power compartment just leaves enough space to install the air conditioning compressor.

Before, when Wang Buan was studying Lu Lingqi's refrigerated ship, he had a certain amount of research on air conditioning. At that time, he was thinking about what to do to add air conditioning to the tank. As a result, he soon discovered that the volume of the compressor could actually be reduced as long as better raw materials were used and larger currents were fed.

Strictly speaking, miniature compressors are very power-intensive. From the point of view of energy efficiency, it is not suitable.

However, Wang Buan does not need to save electricity. The Panshi 150 is capable of delivering powerful power.

Household air conditioners, which consume 1 kWh of electricity per hour.

The tank is used for air conditioning, which consumes 10 kWh of electricity per hour. It's not a level at all.

However, 10 kWh is completely negligible for a Rock 150 engine.

It has a rated output power of 1700K. The electricity consumption of a mere 10K air conditioner is only equivalent to one-170th of it.

As the saying goes, money is capricious.

For tank air conditioners, it is electric capricious.

The modified water-molecule synthesizer, almost the size of an ordinary inkjet printer, happens to be crammed into the power compartment.

It has five water outlets connected to it. Outside the car, you can use it freely.

Cooking, drinking, and bathing are certainly no problem.

That's right?

How to cook?

As long as it is an electrical appliance, it can be used.

The Rock 150 has electricity. Even if you want a voltage of 380 degrees, there is no problem.

In the northern Tibetan plateau, the air pressure is so low that ordinary pots cannot be used. Cooking rice is not cooked. The water can't be boiled. But it doesn't matter, isn't there a pressure cooker?

A special 220-volt electric pressure cooker, a special 380-volt electric pressure cooker, can ensure that the meals are cooked thoroughly and the water can be boiled.

Where is this stuff there? Stuffed outside the tank, of course.

There is water and electricity, and everywhere is home.

Finally, there is the welding of the individual components.

Liquid metal is back on the field.

Wherever welding is required, liquid metal is used.

Because there are not many parts that need to be replaced, the Panshi 150 diesel engine is also ready-made. Two hours later, a brand new Type 59 tank was unveiled.

Outwardly, it is indistinguishable from a regular Type 59 tank.

Only the raw materials have changed.

The powertrain has also changed. But the average person doesn't notice.

The prototype was transported to the test site.

It's still a hot sun, and the surface temperature is above 50 degrees.

Due to the back and forth of the tanks, the entire test site looked like a man-made wilderness, without any vegetation, and there was yellow mud everywhere. When the wind blows, it is dusty in the sky.

The reviewing stand is also open-air. There is no obstacle at all. It's like this in the wind or rain.

No matter what status you are, when you come here, you have to bask in the sun.

Don't come to the squeamish ones. The army is not welcome.

These are the exact words of a certain leader.

Near the review stand, there were many people gathered.

Cai Yunheng, Wu Maoguan, Cui Yongan and others are all there. There was also a strange colonel officer.

But I didn't see Cheng Kailong's shadow.

The colonel-officer didn't speak to anyone, and stood quietly beside him.

He was swarthy all over, and he felt as if he had been tanned into black charcoal.

"You have to be careful. Wu Maoguan reminded Wang Bu'an in a low voice, "That colonel officer is called Peng Deming, but he is a cold-faced god, nicknamed General Peng." ”

"What is he here for?" Wang Buan said disapprovingly, "What did he do?"

"I don't know exactly what it does. But it's definitely coming for your stubble. If the tank you modified doesn't perform well, it just clicks. ”

"Huh. Don't worry, I won't be clicked. ”

Wang Buan walked over to Peng Deming.

Peng Deming squinted at him.

"Pointless. Peng Deming said coldly.

"What do you say?" Wang Bu'an replied quietly.

"Such advanced technology should be used in the most advanced tanks. Spending on 59 is wasteful. ”

"If there is no problem with the inspection, it will be promoted. ”

Thought it was an enemy army. I didn't expect it to be a friendly army.

It seems that this General Peng is a radical. Passionate about new technologies.

However, the application of any new technology is not achieved overnight. It must be tested repeatedly and convinced that there is no fatal flaw before it can be used on a large scale.

The Rock 150 engine is indeed very advanced.

However, is it not flawed?

Wang Buan didn't dare to make any promises.

Will it lie on its stomach on the plateau of northern Tibet?

Will you lie down in the Taklamakan Desert?

You don't know until you've tried it yourself.

"I will follow you. Peng Deming said.

"Welcome. Wang Buan nodded.

"I want us to have a travel time of more than 12 hours a day. ”

"What?"

"It's better to stop people and cars. 24 hours of continuous operation. ”

"Are you crazy?"

Wang Buan couldn't help but say.

This Peng Deming is simply a madman. The idea is too radical.

24 hours of continuous rotation!

Tanks can stand it, and people can't stand it!

Today's second update.
