Chapter 349: Heavy Tank Research Institute

It's still the Bull Demon King.

Send them directly to the Steel City.

This is the largest steel production base in China. World-famous.

Well, or rather, the biggest ever.

Many research institutes are also located here.

Peng Deming took Wang Bu'an to the front of an old courtyard.

On the wall next to the entrance of the courtyard, a plaque hangs. It says XX Machinery Plant. It's like a factory that has gone out of business.

When I went inside, I felt desolate. Overgrown.

Hearing the sound of cars, five people came out of the old bungalows on both sides. Homely. Unremarkable.

"This is the 406 Design Institute. ”

"They're specialized in heavy tanks. ”

Peng Deming introduced Wang Buan.

Wang Buan nodded quietly.

A design institute specializing in heavy tanks. It feels lifeless. It's a complete rundown.

The five people who came out were a bunch of nerds.

I feel that the myopia of the five of them adds up to more than 10,000 degrees. (10 eyes ^_^)

If you look closely, you will see that they are actually not very old. At most, they are in their thirties. It's just that they are highly short-sighted, with thick beer bottles and glasses, and plain clothes, which make them look very old. Coupled with the background of the dilapidated and vicissitudes of the surrounding environment, it will seem that they are all so old-fashioned. It feels completely devoid of vitality. There is no vitality.

Extending a little, their image is as if it were the manufacturing industry of the entire Northeast region. Dying, lifeless.

Wang Buan can also be regarded as involved in a lot of business. I don't feel like I've encountered any Northeast companies.

It is estimated that there are too few private enterprises in the Northeast. It's all prefixes.

Of course, the national prefix doesn't look down on the Tyrannosaurus rex industry.

I accidentally discovered that there was an acquaintance in the middle.

Wu Maoguan. from the 846 Institute. The main thing is to study the dynamics of tank armored vehicles.

How did he end up here?

"Chief Engineer Wang!" Wu Maoguan said enthusiastically.

"Hello. Wang Buan nodded.

"He was specifically called by me to participate in the research of the Apocalypse Tank. It is mainly responsible for the design of the power system. Peng Deming explained, "Originally, I wanted to invite Professor Cai to come, but unfortunately he was not interested in the Apocalypse Tank and did not want to participate. I had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. ”

"Is Professor Cai really not interested?" Wang Bu'an asked suspiciously, "Isn't his thinking the most active?"

"Professor Cai told me that the Apocalypse Tank is of little practical use. ”

"That's what he just said?"

"That's right. He repeatedly stressed to me that the Apocalypse Tank had no value in actual production. The weight alone severely limits its mobility. Crush the road surface, crush the bridge. ”

He's actually quite right. ”

"You think so too?"

"Of course. ”

Wang Buan nodded affirmatively.

Of course, he knows best about these shortcomings of the Apocalypse Tank.

With a weight of 110 tons, how many bridges can afford it?

Not to mention the bridges that might cut corners. Even if the Yangtze River Bridge is ravaged by a team of Apocalypse tanks, it is estimated that it will be very hanging.

Not one out of a hundred bridges can bear a weight of 110 tons.

Even if there were, it was a very significant goal.

If war really breaks out, they are the first targets to be destroyed.

Without these strong bridges, the mobility of the Apocalypse Tank will be severely constrained.

Fortunately, Wang Buan's original intention was not really to deal with the war.

It is estimated that it will not be easy to fight the third war.

Everyone has nuclear weapons in hand, and the possibility of a big fight is very small.

Most of them are local conflicts of interest. Small-scale high-intensity warfare. Everyone is dispatched with high-precision weapons. Fatal with one hit.

It seems that the Iran-Iraq war in the 80s has been fought for so many years, and it is estimated that there are very few phenomena.

More often than not, it is a peaceful show of force.

A soldier who surrenders without a fight.

For example, military exercises.

For example, military competitions.

One of the most important is to show a powerful weapon.

The Apocalypse Tank happens to be one of them. It doesn't matter how useful it is. I'll make it first, scare and scare you.

A superpower is certainly not able to scare. But it's always okay to deter and deter others, right?

Some beam-jumping clowns are too out of line to give them a sharp surgical operation or two.

Targeted strikes.

Targeted killings.

Of course, that's a matter for the country's leaders.

He only needs to do his best to make comprehensive use of resources and technology to enhance the deterrence of weapons and equipment.

Peng Deming briefly introduced the situation.

The 406 Research Institute has never been the mainstream. It's always been a side door.

The research on heavy tanks has not been smooth. There has been no fruit for a long time. The main reason is the previous two points.

First, there is not enough power.

Second, the weight is excessive. Seriously affects mobility.

In the eyes of many military leaders, heavy tanks are almost synonymous with mobile batteries.

There is not enough room for maneuver.

It can only be active within a certain relative range.

Instead of developing heavy tanks, it is better to develop large-caliber howitzers.

Let's say, a 203-mm howitzer.

Let's say, for example, a 155-mm vehicle-mounted howitzer.

Why waste precious research dollars on the completely impractical Apocalypse Tank?

Under the guidance of such an ideology, the status of the 406 Research Institute can be imagined. Don't say it's growing. It's good to be able to barely survive.

At present, there are only four technicians left in the entire 406 Research Institute. It's still the unpopular kind that has been sidelined.

Before they came to the 406 Research Institute, they had no idea that there was such a unit.

And after coming to the 406 Research Institute, I also felt that I had nothing to do.

I don't know what to look into.

I don't know where to start researching.

Don't even know where to get paid. There were a lot of jokes.

"The superior of the 406 Research Institute is the Northern Shipbuilding Heavy Industry. Peng Deming said slowly, "At the beginning, it was mainly for the study of large-caliber naval guns. Later, this task was taken over by other research institutes. The 406 Research Institute is temporarily vacant. I've got it coordinated. Since then, the 406 Research Institute has been disbanded on the spot and transferred to the 220 Research Institute. ”

"Your burden is very neat!" Wang Buan said dissatisfiedly.

"You can apply for research funding from above according to the increase in headcount. Peng Deming said in a low voice, "With your Wang Buan's name, you can have as many as you want." ”

"I want 50 billion!

"Why don't you apply for it? ”

"Get out!"

Wang Buan said angrily.

This Peng Deming, the abacus is too fine. No wonder the people in the old army didn't like him very much.

Hao Yanan obviously didn't want to see Peng Deming.

Lu Fengwu and Qiu Yunsheng also seemed to be a little cold. There must be a reason for this.

Otherwise, the soldier is the most affectionate, and he will not be born easily.

However, the character of the soldier is generally more upright. I hate the people in the city the most.

Peng Deming is playing the plank road in the Ming Dynasty, and the darkness is Chen Cang?

Or is it a resurrection of a corpse? Or is it a stiff Li Daitao?

On the surface, he gave himself a 406 Research Institute, but in fact, he wanted to act with the help of the signboard of the 220 Research Institute.

In the name of the 220 Research Institute, the resumption of research on the Apocalypse Tank is obviously the most satisfactory thing.

Peng Deming's smile was a little embarrassed.

Of course, he knew that it was not easy.

After all, it is definitely not so simple to restart a project that has been sentenced to death.

Except for Wang Buan, no one else can do it.

Only Wang Bu'an can turn decay into magic. to be able to turn stones into gold.

Many people say that the Apocalypse tank is useless.

But what if it helps?

What if Wang Bu'an developed it?

The Apocalypse Tank is also not set in stone. It can be improved according to the requirements of the times!

For example, the tasks of air defense in the new era are even more important. That can increase the power of anti-aircraft weapons! If you feel that two barrels are not necessary, you can cut one! Or, if you feel that two barrels are not enough, it is not impossible to install three barrels.

Everything is man-made.

As long as Wang Buan is willing, there is nothing he can't do.

Maybe he can even give wings to the Apocalypse Tank, which greatly improves mobility!

How did the mecha in the TV movie come about?

Isn't it developed on the basis of the Apocalypse tank?

"Chief Engineer Wang, hello, my name is Zhong Hui. ”

"Hello. ”

Among the four technicians, the leader is called Zhonghui.

The reason why he is the first is because he graduated from Tsinghua University with a serious degree of physics. Learn to be rich in five cars, full of economy.

Unfortunately, he was not very popular in his original unit.

He himself did not want to be popular.

As a result, he was transferred to the 406 Research Institute.

Others may not like the old and dilapidated 406 Research Institute. Zhong Hui felt that it didn't matter. It's quiet. Interpersonal relationships are simple. Just about.

His favorite thing to do is to study the Three Kingdoms. Only in this way will he not be worthy of his name.

Wang Bu'an and Zhong Hui discussed several physics problems.

Zhong Hui's response was quick.

Talent or something may not have it. But the basic theory is solid.

Don't look at him being obsessed with the Three Kingdoms all day long. In fact, I also know a lot about vacuum cataclysm, quantum mechanics, extra dimensions, and so on.

In the era of the development of the Internet, he actually searched for a lot of rather obscure information.

For example: the Higgs boson.

For example: Kabibo-Kobayashi-Ikawa matrix.

For example: quark confinement.

However, Wang Buan soon found out again. This guy is purely theoretical knowledge. Speaking of which, the head is the Tao, and the talk is endless. But there is no insight into how to apply it in practice. Either it's scripted. Either it's far-fetched. Anyway, it can't be linked to practical application.

"This is Zhao Kuo. Wang Buan's preliminary judgment.

Of course, Zhao Kuo is not a mediocre talent.

He just wasn't used right.

If it is used as a staff officer, Zhao Kuo is actually good.

It's a pity that he was designated as the head coach.

Some people are not naturally suitable to be managers.

Wang Buan doesn't need a coach.

He needs a staff officer.

The bell will be very suitable.
