Chapter 455 Caliber 255 mm main gun

Back to the office.

I sat down and felt bored.

I feel depressed when I go to work. It's as if it's constrained by something. Uncomfortable.

Get up.

Go to another office.

Chairman's Office. The pattern is pretty much the same. It's just that the decoration is different.

The general manager's office is an ordinary modern minimalist style with popular elements. There's nothing special to say. It's basically a matter of following the crowd.

The chairman's office looks antique. All around, it's all solid wood furniture.

There is also a whole set of large kung fu tea sets.

It's a pity that Wang Buan won't use it.

At the back of the office, there are no luxury suites. There is only one reference room.

All the information stored inside is top secret. There is a seal.

Sit back and get back to work.

From now on, it's time to go to work.

It's going to be 9 to 5, and it's going to be done step by step. Just thinking about it makes me feel a headache.

He was the last thing he wanted to be tied down.

Luckily, he's the biggest in the company, and he can do whatever he wants.

Suddenly, I saw Shangguan Yuqiang coming in with a pile of materials. Ready to be placed in the back room. The materials in the data room are top secret.

Except for Wang Bu'an and Shangguan Yuqiang, there was no way for anyone else to open it.

"What's that?"

"That's all there is to the Blue Whale. ”

"Blue whales?"

"Just received. ”

"Show me first. ”

"Okay. ”

Wang Buan stretched out his hand to take the information.

The Blue Whale is a domestically produced quadcopter tiltrotor aircraft, and the picture is very beautiful.

It's a pity that it stays on the page and doesn't have a physical object yet.

Many interested people are asking when it will come out, and the relevant parties have not answered positively.

The V-22 Osprey tiltrotor has only two rotors. From time to time, there is a mysterious problem of the disappearance of lift, which leads to a crash. In order to make up for this shortcoming, technicians have thought of many ways.

One of them is to increase the number of rotors. From the original two to four. Or even six, eight.

From the original parallel parallel, it has become a parallel series.

There are two rotors in parallel, and there are two rotors in tandem.

In this way, the problem of air flow disorder should be improved to a certain extent.

Theoretically, the greater the number of rotors, the fluctuation of the air flow, should tend to flow normally, and the cutting ability will decrease.

However, the technicians underestimated the power of nature.

The appearance of the four rotors makes the airflow more complicated, and the appearance of malfunctions is more mysterious.

Counting the air flow between the two rotors interfering with each other, it is already a big head. Now it is necessary to calculate the mutual interference of the four rotors...... It's just deadly!

If the calculation of two rotors is 4, the calculation of four rotors is 256. That's 64 times more!

Until now, the V-44, with its four rotors, has not been put into practical use.

As for the mysterious tiltrotor fighter studied by Cobra, Wang Buan is not clear.

Judging by the little information that has been revealed so far, it is not a simple helicopter. It also incorporates the capabilities of a fighter jet. It can launch missiles and attack air, ground, and ships. Or even firing laser weapons. Or even the launch of tactical nuclear bombs. It can be said that it is a very comprehensive weapon.

It is not for nothing that Cobra has been able to become one of the three arms giants. Their technical reserves are indeed very advanced.

Once they unleash all their technology, it will shock the world.

In addition, four rotors, four engines are required.

Four engines will definitely lead to a significant increase in costs.

The previous V-22 Osprey, the price of each aircraft, was already more than 80 million US dollars. That's almost the price of a Su-35 fighter.

Between the Osprey and the Su-35, it is estimated that the vast majority of people will choose the Su-35 fighter.

It can be seen that if the price is too high, there will be no market.

As a domestically produced quadcopter tilter, the price of the Blue Whale must not exceed 15 million US dollars.

If it is more than 100 million yuan, the military will definitely not want it.

At any given time, military spending is very tight.

Strictly speaking, a tiltrotor is the icing on the cake.

Now, what the country needs most is actually charcoal in the snow. It's from nothing.

The problem of ordinary helicopters has not been solved, and the demand for tiltrotors is naturally not so urgent. First improve Wuzhi 9, Wuzhi 10, Wuzhi 11, and Wuzhi 20.

"Is that all?"

"That's all for now. ”

"Then there's no need to put it in the data room. ”

"Okay. ”

Shangguan Yuqiang took the information away.

The technical information of the Blue Whale quadcopter is only available to the public. The core secrets are completely untouched.

It's obvious. How can someone else hand over a core secret to you?

The Blue Whale quadcopter is a commercial research that is meant to make money.

If you hand over all the technology to Wang Buan, wouldn't that be a wedding dress for others?

As long as you are a person with a normal brain, you will not be so stupid......

Wang Buan shook his head.

There is still a long way to go!

If you want to take advantage of people, that's impossible.

No one else can give you the results of their own development. He also disdains borrowing the results of other people's research.

He has the ability.

He can rely on his own skills to fight the world.

Before you know it, it's evening.

Looking at my watch, it was exactly six o'clock when I left work.

Wang Buan didn't bother to go back. Let's take the lead in working overtime.

"You get off work. ”

"I'm going to eat. ”

After letting Shangguan Yuqiang go, Wang Bu'an went down to eat.

Of course, the company has a canteen.

By the way, I checked out the dining hall.

The area of the canteen is still very large, which can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.

The environment is okay. There are a lot of aunts who are engaged in hygiene.

Eat for free.

Buffet.

Take what you want.

Drinks, fruits, and so on, are also eaten casually.

The dishes can't be said to be good or bad. Adequate portions. The taste is so-so.

Placid.

No one knows who he is.

No one came to greet him. Treat him as if he were transparent.

The people who came to eat were all thorns from various research institutes, disobedient guys, and most of them were young people, and they were all full of complaints. The whole dining hall was noisy.

Eating a meal is 15 minutes, and Wang Buan has received a lot of information one after another.

Among them, the deepest feeling is that I am at a loss.

Most of the personnel don't know what they're going to do.

Almost all the personnel don't know what the future development strategy of White Feather Whale Technology is. In which direction is it going.

Many people came to the White Feather Whale Technology Company in a daze to report. There was no preparation.

More people will report in the coming days.

It is estimated that it will be more dazed and confused.

After eating, go upstairs.

Take a bath, watch TV, and operate two marine industrial parks.

They are deliberately allowed to reappear in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans to stimulate the Western world. But there was no damage. I quietly dived.

Trigger but not trigger.

It works better.

When I got up the next morning, Shangguan Yuqiang had already arrived.

"When you get off work, time is yours. I'm not going to look for you. Wang Buan said straight to the point.

"Thank you. Today's itinerary ......" Shangguan Yuqiang took out her notebook.

"Huh?"

It feels a little awkward.

Is this the day of a domineering president?

And what are the itinerary options?

Where to go?

"Shinno Heavy Machinery. ”

"Good. ”

Wang Buan nodded.

Shinno Heavy Machinery, which is trial-producing the Apocalypse Tank, just went to see how it progressed.

Downstairs.

Go to the airport.

Pei Lan was already waiting.

Nodding his head, get on the plane.

Takeoff.

Close your eyes and refresh yourself.

An hour later, the helicopter slowly landed on Shinno Heavy Machinery.

I have to say that it is good to have a helicopter to travel. Squint and you'll be at your destination. If you're traveling by car, it will take at least two hours. After all, it's 250 kilometers in a straight line.

Without prior notice. Naturally, no one greeted it. Only the doorman hurried to report.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

It was the sound of artillery.

Wang Buan walked forward quickly.

Zhong Hui, this guy, I feel urgent!

Started to test fire tank guns so soon? Guys who don't play according to the routine at all! Samples were produced so quickly?

Quickly walked to the test site and found a half-finished tank test-firing the main gun.

It's a huge guy, it's 18 meters long and 7 meters wide.

The height is almost two floors.

This is no longer a behemoth.

It's a living steel monster on land!

"Huh, Chief Engineer Wang?"

"How?"

"Recoil is being tested. ”

"The chassis is unstable?"

"The data is not out yet. ”

Zhong will rub his hands anxiously.

He was indeed an impatient.

It's probably because I've held it for too long before, and all the inhibitions have been released.

Since he took over Shinno Heavy Machinery, all projects have been rushed 24 hours a day.

No, only half-finished tanks were also pulled out for testing.

The main purpose is to test the recoil.

To be precise, it is to test how much impact the tank's main gun has on the chassis when it is fired.

For the Apocalypse tank, the most important component is, of course, the chassis.

This behemoth, the requirements for the chassis are very high.

You know, it's equipped with two 140mm guns!

One is a smoothbore gun.

One is a rifled gun.

rifled guns and smoothbore guns, each with its own advantages,

Whether the same type of tank uses a smoothbore gun or a rifled gun is actually always controversial.

The rifled gun has high accuracy, long firing range, straight ballistics and strong armor-piercing ability.

The advantage of a smoothbore gun is that it can fire many types of shells, unlike rifled guns, which are not as "picky".

In addition, the cost of smoothbore guns is relatively low, and there are things like repairs, which are simpler than rifled guns. The life span is also longer than that of rifled guns. The repair and maintenance of rifled guns is difficult.

Now, the Apocalypse Tank combines the characteristics of both and installs both.

Ordinary shells were fired from rifled guns.

Special shells were fired from smoothbore guns.

"How much armor-piercing capacity?"

"It's 1100 mm at the moment. ”

"So little?"

"Trials are still ongoing. ”

"Oh. ”

Wang Buan frowned.

This result is disappointing. How is it only 1100 mm?

You must know that the armor-piercing capacity of a smoothbore gun with a caliber of 125 mm is already 700-1000 mm.

Your rifled gun with a caliber of 140 mm and armor piercing is only 1100 mm, that's a joke.

Without armor-piercing capabilities above 1500 mm, the Apocalypse tank is useless.

Where the Apocalypse tank is to be used, it must be the roadblock encountered by the ordinary Type 96 and Type 99 tanks.

The latest armor-piercing capacity of the Type 99 tank, which has already exceeded 1000 mm.

Zhong Hui's mood also seemed a little deflated.

It didn't work out as intended.

"Report!"

"Say it. ”

But it's the recoil data that comes out.

After Zhong Hui read it, he handed it to Wang Bu'an.

Wang Buan looked at it carefully, frowning. Only less than 50 tons?

Isn't that a waste?

The chassis of the Apocalypse Tank can withstand at least 300 tons of recoil! The current recoil is only one-sixth?

You know, the total length of the Apocalypse Tank has reached a terrifying 18 meters.

More than the length of two tanks.

The length of the Type 99 tank is only more than 7 meters!

"Let's change to a larger caliber. ”

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Zhong Hui was stunned.

Wang Buan was also a little surprised.

Zhong Hui's reaction...... Didn't he ever think of increasing the caliber of artillery?

"You think 140 mm is the maximum?"

"Not ......"

Zhong Hui shook his head slowly.

It was his mind that was imprisoned all of a sudden.

The previous design, the caliber of the tank gun, was 140 mm. Never wanted to get bigger.

Mainly the design of the time, 140 mm was the limit.

If you increase the caliber of the artillery, the weight will be seriously exceeded.

However, in fact, after the model of the Apocalypse Tank was made, the recoil that it could withstand was greatly improved, far exceeding the original parameters.

The main reason is that Wang Buan increased the width and thickness of the track, which made the bearing capacity skyrocket.

However, how big is the caliber?

Calculations are required......

"Enlarged to 255 mm, 60 times the caliber. ”

"Huh?"

Zhong Hui was stunned again.

Sky!

255 mm!

It's super heavy artillery, okay?

It was once the Army's largest caliber mounted artillery.

However, now, the world's armies have canceled the 255 mm heavy gun.

The main reason is that this caliber is really too large and has many drawbacks. For example, it is too heavy, the rate of fire is too slow, the recoil is too great, and the shock wave when launched is too strong.

At present, the largest caliber artillery that our army is equipped with is only 203 mm.

On the other side of the strait, there were howitzers of 240 mm caliber. But it was fixed on the turret for use. Unable to move in a wide area.

The Apocalypse tank goes directly to the 255mm heavy gun, which is simply terrifying!

"This mobility ......," Zhonghui said hesitantly.

"The Apocalypse Tank is inherently slow. Afraid of what. Wang Buyan disagreed.

However, the weight of the gun itself may be more than 25 tons. With two guns, the weight is more than 50 tons. ”

"Is there a limit to the weight of the Apocalypse Tank? No, no. ”

"Yes......"

The bell will suddenly brighten.

That's right, too.

What do you do with so much weight?

It is not necessary to copy the original design. We can improve it!

In the previous design, the weight was strictly limited due to the lack of engine power. Otherwise, there is no way to guarantee a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.

However, the power delivery of the Rock 150 engine is definitely adequate.
