Chapter 672: Heart Disease of the Fourth Generation Tank!
"This ...... Lu Lao, are you talking about tank engines?"
Seeing Li Fanyu asking, Lu Mingde nodded, "That's right, it's a tank engine!"
"Our current tank engine can't be successful?" Li Fan said foolishly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although he does not know much about military affairs, he also knows that the performance of the Type 99 series tanks currently installed in the army is good, and he has repeatedly achieved good results in tank competitions with foreign countries.
Lu Mingde looked at him with a confused expression, nodded, and shook his head again, "The performance of the 150BH on the active Type 99 tank is just enough, and it is far from excellent. ”
Li Fanyu didn't know the inside story of "Forehead ......".
Tanks, warplanes, aircraft carriers and other weapons and equipment technology are the core of the core for any sovereign country. What was announced to the outside world was also some skin. Except for Uncle Sam, the No. 1 arms dealer in the world, he likes to use war to sell weapons to the outside world, and the performance parameters of his own things are displayed everywhere. But this is just an individual case, at least the domestic weapons and equipment, but they are very hidden.
But Li Fanyu at least knew that the Type 99 series tanks had been in service for a long time. Seem...... It's time for a generational change.
But the tank engine ......
I haven't touched this game!
Li Fan was dumbfounded, and said: "Lu Lao, then you are looking for me, do you want us Zhengxin to help with the research and development of the fourth-generation tank engine?"
Lu Mingde nodded, "Yes." The Type 99 tank has been in service for more than a decade. In accordance with the requirements of the General Staff Headquarters for the first generation, the first generation of research and the first generation of pre-research of our army's main battle tank equipment. We have completed the development of an improved version of the 99-G, and now it has also been put into use with the troops. Therefore, according to the requirements of the General Staff, the research and development of the fourth-generation main battle tank has become our top priority. It can be said that the development of this fourth-generation tank has been carried out since five years ago. ”
"What is going on now?" Li Fanyu hurriedly asked.
Hold the grass of the fourth generation of tanks!
Every man has a worship of weapons in his heart, and as an authentic blue child, Li Fanyu is no exception.
"The main parameters of the tank, in fact, are nothing more than those aspects. Firepower, protection, maneuverability and tactical requirements. Now, if anything...... Those four generations of tanks can be said to be almost complete. But, I'm sitting in front of you right now, you know ......"
"I see. Li Fanyu nodded, "The engine problem has not been solved?"
Lu Mingde nodded, "As early as 99G, we have already improved and upgraded the 150BH engine. But the 150HB engine ...... We are now talking about family affairs behind closed doors, in fact, in the strict sense, it is not our own engine.
Tank engines, unlike engines in your automobile industry, if you can't produce them yourself, you will be completely dependent on imports. We can do this in normal times, but if we have a conflict with a country, will they supply us in the middle of the war?
Obviously, it can't, so the 150HB is actually a big deal of money and the introduction of the German MTU's dual-use engine technology is improved. But now we have reached a fairly high level in the fields of firepower, protection, etc., can't we still use the technology of more than ten years ago in our tanks after so many years of development, right?
And from another point of view, modern tanks are rushing to fight farther, stronger protection, and faster The three goals are developing rapidly, and MTU's set of technology from ten years ago has been squeezed out by us and can no longer keep up with the times. ”
Li Fanyu scratched the back of his head, "Old Lu, then you want to give me this job?"
Lu Mingde nodded again, "I have this idea." You believe that the automotive application technology is doing a good job, and I have been paying attention to it. But before, your ZGX engines were mainly gasoline engines, and I didn't think about it this way. But recently, you are really engaged in diesel engines, and you are engaged in this thing called Fuel Saving Treasure is actually biodiesel, in my old man's opinion, you want to do a career in the field of diesel vehicles, right?"
Li Fanyu smiled, what the old man said was right.
"That's why I hit the idea on you, since you can develop a V6 diesel engine like the D4D, such a large-displacement tank engine, I don't know if you have the ability and confidence to give it a try? Xiao Li, if you can do this job, it is not smaller than the order for the third-generation car. ”
Lu Mingde specially used his tone to mark the key points of the third-generation car, which made Li Fanyu itch in his heart.
The old man is a good man, this is to deliver a meal ticket to himself.
But this meal ticket ...... But it's hard to take!
Zhengxin's several diesel engines were exchanged in the space. It's not easy to let yourself do a tank engine all of a sudden.
A diesel engine is not the same as a gasoline engine. Otherwise...... Mercedes-Benz will not have a special MTU to develop large-displacement diesel engines for large trucks and construction vehicles.
Tank engines don't just require a lot of horsepower, they can run fast. As an engine for heavy weapons, this requires a lot of requirements.
Take a chestnut;
Because of the tactical needs of the tank, the requirements for mobility are multi-faceted. For example, in a constant velocity, if you are locked by an enemy missile or an enemy tank, you need a large degree of sudden acceleration to get rid of it. This mobility is not only manifested in driving, but also in a completely stalled or stationary state. This requires the tank engine to have instantaneous explosive power.
This explosive power is also applied to reversing;
The main reason why the tank is the king of land warfare in modern warfare is because of its powerful firepower, hard armor and mobility. It's like a fortress loaded with artillery and free to move.
But in the midst of war, you never know what will happen on the battlefield. Therefore, the tank also needs to formulate specific parameter requirements according to tactics.
For example, when the war is not favorable for an emergency retreat, even the infantry has to pay attention to alternate cover for the retreat. The meaning of this is not to leave their fragile fart Y to the local eagle owl to act recklessly.
The same is true for tanks, which do not turn around and run when they are urgently withdrawn from the battlefield, but need to meet the local attack with their strongest frontal armor and flee in reverse.
However, explosiveness is only one aspect.
In order to ensure the travel of the tank, the engine must also be able to pull the moving armor and run fast while maximizing fuel efficiency. In order to ensure that the tank maintains continuous action in continuous combat, the cooling of the engine under the cover of armor is still an important point.
In order to ensure that the tank can come and go freely in various extreme battlefield environments, high and low temperatures, cold starts, and other aspects are all big problems.
In a word, tank engines are much more demanding than car engines!
But Li Fanyu wanted to try.
Joke, this opportunity almost fell from the sky.
With such a great opportunity in front of you, don't care if you can do it or not, it's always right to take advantage of the pit first!
