"Let's do 8×8 directly, just like a tank, with a crew of three and eight to ten people in the back, so that an armored car is an infantry squad directly. As the commander, the commander can direct the driver and gunner to provide fire support and cover during the attack, and can also lead the infantry to carry the battle. ”

What Liu Yijiu wants to come up with most is the Type 09 infantry fighting vehicle, which is a classic of the Republic's 8×8 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, which has been in service in the Republic for nearly half a century!

ZBL-09 infantry fighting vehicle, engine power of 330 kW, maximum speed on the road up to 100 km / h, average off-road speed of 40 km / h, maximum climbing of up to 30 °, can cross a trench 1.8 meters wide, through a vertical wall of 0.55 meters, the ZBL-09 infantry fighting vehicle has a maximum road range of 800 km.

Of course, this kind of demand for Liu Yijiu is not enough.

"One armored car, one squad?" Everyone looked at Liu Yijiu suspiciously.

At present, there is no exact number of infantry squad establishments in the country.

"Yes, this is easy to manage, and it is also more suitable for combat command. According to the simplest understanding, armored vehicles are different from heavy equipment such as tanks, which are mainly used for artillery strikes, and their role is to provide fire support for the protection of tanks and some urban street battles. Therefore, we need to take into account all factors when designing, good off-road ability, faster road speed, strong power. It is also necessary to take into account the aspect of human body functions, and comfort also needs to be considered, so as to avoid the fact that our fighters will not lose their combat effectiveness because they sit for too long after arriving at the battlefield......"

Liu Yijiu has always been very demanding about the performance requirements of the weapons and equipment they developed and designed themselves. This is something that everyone knows.

However, Meng Fan didn't know much about what they had just joined, so after hearing these things that Liu Yijiu put forward, they finally knew. I think it's a little incredible.

Weapons and equipment are designed with maximum power in mind. The best performance will do.

As for the comfort of the fighters inside, is it something to consider? These are rotten capitalist ideas.

Of course, they did not put forward the idea of capitalism to refute it. Many of these systems, they have been in the space for some time, and they can't comment on whether they are capitalist or socialist. But the people in the base are very fond of these systems.

"Old Meng, do you have any opinions?" Regarding the disapproving look on Meng Fan's face, Liu Yijiu felt it very keenly.

Meng Fan didn't plan to question the leader's decision when he hadn't gotten acquainted with the base, originally Liu Yijiu was strong enough, and he also knew about it in Jialing Factory. Engage in the research and development of motorcycles, directly stipulate when the results will be produced, and what kind of requirements will be put forward.

Before the Chinese New Year, because he was not satisfied with the performance of the motorcycle, he directly let the motorcycles sold be recovered.

Now in the base, when Liu Yijiu speaks, no one will interrupt, such a huge base, employees and their families add up to tens of thousands, Liu Yijiu has an extremely special position in this. He thought it was all a little incredible.

If it was a man over forty, he would be able to understand.

However, Liu Yijiu is only 23 years old!

immediately stood up and asked Liu Yijiu his question: "Director Liu." Are we going to get rid of some unnecessary things? We are engaged in military equipment, not ordinary off-road vehicles, and we are considering the comfort experience of the occupants. This will waste a lot of our manpower and material resources. At the same time, it will also increase our R&D and production costs......"

Meng Fan brought these up. Not without reason.

When designing weapons and equipment, the republic never takes into account the comfort of personnel. In the end, the modification in this regard was made because of the request of the customer after the export of weapons and equipment.

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) is a team with excellent ideological quality, and it is not even afraid of death, and naturally it does not care about suffering or anything when it is a soldier.

There is no need to waste limited funds on this.

For such an idea, Liu Yijiu is not ignorant, he glanced at the people who should have such an expression, thought about it for a while, and felt that it was necessary to change the thinking mode of these guys, which often saves a little money and loses a lot, in other words, it is called short-sightedness!

Facing everyone, Liu Yijiu asked very calmly: "Everyone thinks like this?" ”

Everyone was silent.

"I want people to think a little bit more about this, because on the surface, a lot of things add a lot of costs. This cost can be diluted by expanding production. But I hope you can understand the question, where is the rest of the market for our equipment, except for the use of the domestic military! Liu Yijiu's words surprised everyone.

Everyone knows that everything in the base is operated independently, they are departments directly under the logistics department, but the logistics department does not interfere.

Funding is a huge issue.

If there is an order, this is not a problem, the order is small, the cost is naturally much higher.

In order to reduce the production cost of equipment, it is necessary to get more market orders, many countries in the world buy weapons and equipment, but some countries in Europe and the Americas are rich, and they all purchase weapons and equipment from Europe, the United States and the Soviet Union. If you want to compete with the United States, the Soviet Union and even some European powers in the West, you must learn to take into account more details when the technical performance is outstanding.

Many people in the republic think that as long as they can give full play to the performance of weapons, strong attack power, and strong defense power, they can make the army invincible, but in fact, talent is the most important.

"Soldiers are the main body of war, no matter how good the weapons and equipment are, they all need people to operate them. And the comfort of these operators determines whether they can maintain the best condition and thus give full play to the maximum performance of our weapons and equipment. No matter how powerful the weaponry is, this is just a tool of war. Just like our ordinary small arms and various sniper rifles, excellent shooting performance can be maintained in all environments. Without the large-scale professional training of our snipers, ordinary soldiers with these professional rifles, which are countless times more expensive than ordinary rifles, would be able to perform even less than those ordinary firearms that are often used in their hands......"

In order to change their ideological concepts, Liu Yijiu directly started with the simplest example.

The relationship between a sniper rifle and a sniper.

No matter how powerful the trained snipers are, if they don't have an excellent sniper rifle in their hands, then many of the combat abilities they have trained cannot be brought into play, but they are not necessary, without a sniper rifle, they can still exert terrible combat effectiveness.

If the sniper rifle does not have a sniper, it will not work, although the shooting performance is outstanding, however, in the hands of ordinary soldiers, even the wind speed and gravity do not know how to calculate the impact of the bullet trajectory in flight, what is the use? Compared to ordinary firearms, sniper rifles are not suitable for ordinary soldiers. They are more skillful in using ordinary weapons, and at the same time, the rate of fire far exceeds that of sniper rifles, which is easy to maintain......

"In war, weapons and equipment are tools, and people are the main body. I hope you understand that. All equipment is designed and developed for soldiers to accomplish a certain task. This is just like the ancient swordsman, who is the most powerful swordsman when he achieves the unity of the swordsman. Even without a sword, the swordsman is still powerful...... Back then, Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, and the King of Qin walked around the pillar...... If the fish intestine sword in Jing Ke's hand could be sharper and directly cut off the pillars, would King Qin still be able to run away? Now looking back and talking about our armored vehicles, if it was a large-scale war like the previous World War II, our armored troops would have been running for seven or eight hours for a long distance, and then they would have been directly put into the battlefield, and their physical condition would not be good, they would have sat in the car for too long, and their blood circulation would not be smooth, how much combat effectiveness could they maintain when they got out of the car? ”

Liu Yijiu was gushing about the relationship between military personnel and the use of weapons and equipment.

Hearing this, Meng Fan and the others were stunned.

Even Wang Shunyi and Xie Heping were dumbfounded.

"When did this kid become such?" Wang Shunyi asked Xie Heping beside him in surprise.

This is a bit surprising.

Could it be that Liu Yijiu is ready to change his career to writing martial arts novels?

"I don't know!" Xie Heping usually spends a lot less time with Liu Yijiu. However, he can understand what Liu Yijiu said, that is, in weapon design, it is best to make weapons and equipment that can make it easier for the warriors who use them to exert the performance of their weapons, which is the best design. "But what he said is very reasonable, if Jing Ke had been given a gun, would King Qin have been able to escape?"

Every Chinese has a martial arts dream.

And the powerful swordsmen, who are engaged in technology, are very yearning, they are in this mountain, and they hope to be able to walk the rivers and lakes with swords. And guns, tanks, missiles, these are all swords.

Meng Fan didn't expect that these things could be like this, and the young director's brain was really a little open.

However, he did understand that if the troops were equipped on a large scale, the physical condition of the soldiers on board the car was likely to affect the course of a war.

This is the detail that Liu Yijiu said.

The ancestors have clouds, and details determine success or failure.

As for the cost, in the process of military research and development, do you need to consider success or failure? If you can't give full play to your ability, if you can't resist the enemy's attack, the country will die, everything will be in vain, and you still need to consider the cost at that time?

National security, national defense security, that is a long-term and lasting project regardless of investment! (To be continued......)
