After another two days of construction, the tank simulator was finally installed and commissioned. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the canopy, a simulator is parked above each concrete tunnel. Since the base below is installed in a concrete tunnel, the track is located flush with the ground, and it looks like two rows of real tanks, parked here waiting for repairs.

At this time, the technicians in charge of the installation invited the instructors again and asked them to actually try it, tested the effect of the trainer in actual use, and recorded the problems as the basis for subsequent modifications.

More than a dozen instructors from China had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as they got the notice that they could start the actual test, they immediately stopped the ongoing teaching work and all ran over. Naturally, the commander of the tank brigade and the commander of the firewood brigade and other cadres also rushed over.

"Can you board the bus?" Instructor Chen, who led the team, asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

"That's it! You have been teaching for so long, and the approximate operation is estimated to have taught them, why don't you take a tank group one by one, get on the car and measure it, and see how it works? The technician in charge of directing the installation suggested with a smile.

"Not bad! That's a good idea! As soon as Brigade Commander Chai and the others heard that they were overjoyed, they immediately supported it.

The instructors looked at each other, and they all saw in each other's eyes that they were eager to try and unwilling to admit defeat: "Good!" Let's compare and see who teaches the best apprentices! ”

"I don't have an opinion, it's a mule or a horse, just pull it out and you'll know!"

"No problem! They've been learning for so long, it's time to touch the real car. It's just a training tank, but it doesn't look like a real car, so go ahead and try it. ”

"Okay, you choose people first."

The technicians pushed over a trolley full of cardboard boxes, opened a cardboard box, took out a tank helmet from it, and handed it over.

"This is the helmet you developed?" Instructor Chen carried forward his style and asked his instructors to select people first, and when he saw the helmet handed over by the other party, he took it and looked at it, and immediately said in surprise.

"That's right! The old tank helmet was a soft helmet, and although it had a vertical cushioning strip, it was still easy to break the head, and the sound insulation effect was also very poor. We made this stiff helmet out of the same material as the Kevlar helmet, and the protection was greatly enhanced.

The helmet has a soundproof lining with a layer of memory metal as the skeleton, which can automatically adapt to different head shapes and sizes. When you first put it on, it will feel tight. However, as long as you wear it once, the liner will remember the characteristics of the skull of the person wearing it, and the next time you wear it, you will feel that it fits just right.

The cushioning has a soundproof effect, which can reduce the noise of the engine inside the tank to less than 40 decibels, and the silent effect is the same as in the library.

This is the switch of the intercom, and when it is turned on, you can receive the content of the internal channel call.

This is a laryngeal communicator, so you don't need to speak, you can talk through the vibration of your larynx......"

The technicians distributed helmets and intercoms to the instructors and commanders of the tank brigade who were waiting for the vehicle test, and explained how to use them.

These unheard of equipment attracted the instructors' admiration again. But I heard that once I put it on, the memory metal will automatically remember the head shape, Instructor Chen put down the helmet he was about to put on, and hesitated: "It's not that I have worn it, and others can't use it?" Forget it, I'm still wearing the original helmet. ”

The other instructors nodded.

The technicians smiled and waved their hands: "It's okay, it's okay, as long as the memory metal is heated, it will return to its original state, you can use it well." When you leave, we will send you a batch and go back to help us publicize and see if we can help us get more orders. ”

Everyone laughed.

Since they were not afraid of not going back, of course, the new helmet looked better, and the instructors immediately raised their helmets and buckled them on their heads.

When I first put it on, it did feel a little tight, but after putting it on, the helmet that was originally very tight felt like it was just right against my head, cheeks, and chin, as if it was made to fit my head. The soft leather cushion is close to the skin, it feels very comfortable, and the sound insulation effect is also excellent, the person opposite can only see his mouth open and closed, and he can't hear the sound at all, this high-tech thing, it is really much better than the previous soft helmet.

Unexpectedly, modern technology can even do this.

It's amazing!

Everyone looked at each other and saw each other's appearance wearing helmets, just like pilots, handsome and heroic, and they were very satisfied.

With the one-on-one assistance of the technicians, they practiced the laryngeal intercom, and soon mastered the tricks of using it, and the internal frequency band immediately became lively. Everyone laughed happily for a while, then simply divided the team and divided the dozen or so instructors into two tank companies, each with six tanks.

There are only sixty-four tanks in the base area, and it is basically impossible to replenish them later.

Therefore, in terms of establishment, the tank brigade has two tank battalions, each battalion has two tank companies, and each company has only six tanks. In terms of the number of tanks, it is less than half of the heavy troops of the same level of the US army, and the tank detachment directly under the battalion headquarters has only four tanks, which is very small.

In the absence of an independent political entity, there is no way to do so.

"Up!"

At the sound of an order, more than a dozen instructors flew into the body of the training simulator with their own selected fighters. Compared with their physical strength, the fighters of the tank brigade are much worse, many of them have to step on load-bearing wheels and tracks, and support the body with their hands to climb up, and some of them still need to be helped by their comrades to board the tank.

"What is this?" Instructor Chen helped the two fighters board the chariot, turned to face the turret, saw something unfamiliar to him, and said strangely.

The technicians also put on their helmets, ready to instruct them on how to use it through the intercom, and after listening to the parts of the tank he was looking at, he explained: "Oh, this is the crosswind meter, through which it can detect the crosswind speed and use it as a parameter designed by the fire control computer to improve the accuracy of shooting." ”

"Your tanks are too advanced, and even my old tankmen can't understand a lot of things. But you're too squeamish, even if you don't have a weather vane, why is there an air conditioner hanging behind the turret, do you have one with it on the battlefield? Instructor Chen shook his head, opened the top hatch, and looked inside, and was stunned again.

Inside, it was completely different from the ninety-five cabin he was familiar with.

Most of the old 59 tanks are made of castings, and there are sand holes and burrs everywhere, which is very rough and simple at first glance. The same is true of the cabin where the tank crews are accommodated, and because it is an oval turret, the space inside is even more cramped, and after the tank crews enter, they are basically crowded and crowded.

However, when he looked down from the top, he saw that the interior below was painted white, and at a cursory glance, the space was at least more than half larger than the original 59 tank!

However, as a veteran tankman, he was quick to distinguish the internal structure layout.

The seat on the left side with its back to the turret and a periscope hanging in front of it, this should be the commander's place; On the right is the seat in front of the front, which is clearly the gunner's position.

The rectangular protrusion about a foot high that runs through the entire turret separates the commander and the gunner in the middle, and you don't have to think about it to know that it is the tail part of the tank gun.

Behind it, there should also be a loader.

Originally, there was also a loader position on this, but I heard that it was canceled and changed to an automatic loader. Therefore, there is no trace of the semi-recumbent loader's seat, and even the gun tail and loader are covered by an angular cover, which looks much more refreshing.

This cover can also be used as a workbench, but it kills two birds with one stone.

"Go down!"

Instructor Chen quickly scanned the circle, compared the transformed turret with the inside of the turret of the Type 59 tank in his impression, and then greeted, supported the top cover with his hand, and took the lead in going inside.

He then assists the driver in and takes him to the cab, which is located at the front of the body.

At this time, he also took into account the situation in the cab.

The cab space of the 59 tank can only allow one driver to move forward with his feet. The interior is even more rudimentary, except for a few foot-operated crossbars in front, left-handed shifters, and joysticks. The driver sits half-reclining on a reclining reclining recliner like a hard train seat, waits on the accelerator and brakes, and sees the width of the road ahead through the ribbon viewing window in front of him.

Now, thanks to the increased turret space, the driver is able to crouch and crouch in. However, the cab is inside the body and cannot be changed, so the space is still the same.

Fortunately, the inside has been redecorated, and it has been painted with a layer of white paint like the turret, and the accelerator, brake and other devices have been made as beautiful as possible, and a row of dashboards has been added, which looks like an advanced tank of foreign armies. In addition, the original recliner has also been changed to a soft leather seat, and there is a large support surface under the buttocks, which can allow the driver to sit up a little straighter, so as not to be too aggrieved, and to sit more comfortably.

However, this soft seat can only be used in an improved version with air conditioning.

Otherwise, according to the high temperature of dozens of degrees inside the tank, the driver is surrounded by this leather seat, and I am afraid it is no different from being tortured.

However, the location of the observation window was dark, as if it was blocked.

He asked the driver to reach out and touch it to see if there was a loose leaf in the shutter, blocking the observation window, but heard the technician hurriedly stop: "Don't touch it, it's a monitor screen, and it's not powered on now, so of course it looks like you can't see anything." When the power is turned on, you will be able to see the picture shown above, which can simulate the observation effect of observing the changes in the outside scenery through the observation window in the car. ”

So that's it!

Instructor Chen glanced at the gunner's side, and then at the row of instruments beside him, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The 59 tank does not have so many instruments and meters, and it is unlikely that there will be a screen. But now, not only did he have an extra display in front of him, but the gunner also had one, and by the way, when the pilot got into the cab just now, it seemed that there was also a flat TV screen.

Good guys, this is the various electronic equipment installed in the base!

The number of instruments and meters was at least twice as large as before, and most of them he had never seen before. Fortunately, although there are many instruments and equipment, the layout is very good, all of them are attached to the bulkhead, installed in a closed steel shell instrument panel, clean, neat and tidy, and I feel that the old cabin with fewer instruments and equipment than before, is more concise and does not take up space at all.

But how do you use these things?

He stared at the pile of equipment, confused, and didn't know where to start.

"You're already in place, aren't you?" The technician who was in charge of guiding them also climbed on top of the body, poked his head through the open hatch, saw that everyone was in place, and then instructed Instructor Chen to turn on the red power button on the console.

The power turned on, and a soft white glow lit up at the top.

In the cab below the front, there was also a white glow. You can see that the location where the observation window used to be dark has gradually brightened, and you can see the picture outside. If you don't distinguish it carefully, it really looks like a scene seen through an observation window.

Instructor Chen looked up and saw that a circle of lamps had been installed against the top edge of the cockpit. He took a closer look, stretched out his finger and poked it, and found that it was not an ordinary glass fluorescent tube, but a soft tube made of unknown transparent material, presumably to prevent it from being damaged by vibration.

"Next, let me explain to you the role and operation methods of these devices......"

Under the explanation of the technician, Instructor Chen and others finally understood the function of each equipment, the use of control methods, and tried to use it. However, there are too many equipment, and all kinds of instruments can't be seen, and the control method is even more confusing, and it is far from being able to use it freely.

Although he is an instructor who teaches tank combat in tank brigades, he is a new soldier in the use of these newly added equipment.

"Okay, let's get familiar with it briefly, and then we'll start the actual simulation. Let's do the primary driving training first, Instructor Chen, you turn on the computer, yes, that's it, do you see what is displayed on the screen, select the primary training subject, okay, and then choose the driving subject, yes, that's it, okay, let's start ...... below, hey, don't start, wait for me to go down. The technician in charge of the narration reached back and closed the hatch cover, and Instructor Chen locked the hatch as if he were driving a tank.

A few seconds later, the technician's voice rang through the headset: "Okay, it's time to start the car." ”

Instructor Chen immediately issued an order to the team members through the throat intercom: "Hua Yi, can you hear my voice?" Dong Wenrui, can you hear the voice? ”

"I can hear you!"

"Hear me very clearly!"

Both team members replied at the same time.

"Very good, check the status of the tanks first. We weren't familiar with a lot of the equipment, but we still followed the original steps, checked each of them, and then reported to me. ”

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

The two team members responded in unison, and then began to follow the previous process of checking before starting the car. In this process, Instructor Chen was also in the position of commander and walked through the inspection process of the 59 tank in strict accordance with it. Although most of the meters are different from the original, the basic usage method is roughly the same, except that they are not very used to it, and it is no different from before.

What surprised him was that the readings of these instruments were almost exactly the same as his actual experience on the 59 tank.

If he hadn't been outside and saw the trainer on the base, he would have almost thought he was sitting inside a real tank, doing a pre-launch check.

It's so real!

Each inspection was fed back, except for the equipment that I didn't know how to use, all other inspections were passed one by one.

"Hua Yi, start!"

"Understood!" In the intercom, the driver answered clearly.

As he started the engine, the tank began to tremble, as if the engine was really running.

Even, at the end of their noses, the smell of diesel fuel burning.

True!

It's so true!

Not to mention the two novices who were slightly nervous and panicked, and even Instructor Chen himself, was once again skeptical at the moment, was he really just on a simulator and not sitting in a tank?

"Don't panic! Let's follow the steps and start the car slowly......" Instructor Chen was halfway through his words, and his words were stopped, not knowing where to order him to drive.

The technician said a lot just now, telling him that he could see the outside through the display screen in the car, but he had heard and forgotten how to do it. Now he couldn't remember for a moment, so he simply stood up, opened the hatch, and poked his head out to take a look.

Sure enough, this is just a trainer, not a real tank.

He breathed a sigh of relief, retracted his head, raised the captain's periscope, and leaned in.

Through the periscope, what he observed was not the scene in the training shed, but on a vast plain......

Even if he had only seen it, he still had a sense of time and space confusion for a while.

How did you do that, it's amazing!

He held the handle of the periscope and drilled around, and all he saw was an endless field, and although the ground was slightly undulating, the slope was not large. On the surrounding hillsides, there are all kinds of wild grasses and flowers of various colors, which are full of vitality and vitality.

The tank they were sitting on was parked at the top of a gentle slope.

Instructor Chen was stunned for a long time, let go of the periscope, bent down and looked at the cab, as expected, in the strip observation window above the cab, what he saw was exactly the same as what he saw in the periscope.

It's just, it's not even admirable!

Instructor Chen stood up, realigned the periscope in the direction of the front of the car, took a deep breath, leaned in, and ordered: "Hua Yi, start, the target is in front of you, and the first gear is moving slowly!" ”

Since it is a gentle slope, it doesn't matter where it goes, even if it is Hua Yi's two knives, it won't go into the ditch, and it just so happens that you can practice searching for the subject of advancement.

"Ming, understood!" The driver's voice trembled a little, apparently he was also stunned by the picture displayed in the simulated observation window, and he stammered a little, and after answering, he also asked, "Instructor, we are on the trainer, not on a hillside, right?" ”

"Nonsense! Alright, execute the order! ”

Instructor Chen reprimanded, then silently withdrew his gaze from the periscope, rubbed his eyes, poked his head outside to take a look, and was stunned for a second or two before he retracted his head and leaned over the periscope to observe.

The driver's question is actually his question.

Even if he confirmed it again and again, he still couldn't stop it.

"! Fight! ”

The driver finally adjusted his hand gear and stepped on the accelerator under his repeated urging, and the chariot shook violently, and then it shook violently.

All of them, because of the inertia caused by the sudden start of the chariot, involuntarily moved forward.

Is this really a trainer?

Feeling the violent vibration of the car body, through the helmet soundproof cushion, and hearing the squeaking sound of a very slight metal collision, Instructor Chen and the others once again fell into a real scene, unable to tell whether they were on the trainer or in the tank.

This is especially true when their bodies are still shaking with the tank.

Who can make such a real simulator!
