An improved diesel engine will not be able to be tested in a while and a half, especially an engine used on the main battle tank, it is necessary to redevelop a high-power engine, the power used by infantry fighting vehicles is too small, even after improvement, the power cannot exceed more than a thousand horsepower. Li Mo did not stay in the power plant for long www.biquge.info, and then inspected other factories accompanied by experts.

Inspecting several important factories, Li Mo came to the assembly workshop. In the huge workshop, six infantry fighting vehicles are doing the final welding and assembly work.

"How much can you produce in a day now?" Li Mo asked, pointing to a chariot. During this time, sales of the Lion King infantry fighting vehicle have remained at normal levels. There are very few large-scale purchases between countries, but small-scale purchase orders have been scheduled for half a year.

This is mainly due to the weak economic power of African countries, which procure a small batch of descendants to assemble a company and a battalion to protect key places such as the presidential palace.

In addition, Viper's Blood Eagle Mercenary Organization has taken over several missions in Chad to assist the armed forces in seizing cities and minerals, and has provided more than a dozen combat vehicles to the Blood Eagle Mercenary Organization, which has played an important role and made a good combat propaganda for those non-political axe forces.

Therefore, during this period, except for orders from some countries, most of them were developed through the Star Organization and some underground arms organizations that had cooperative relations with the Star Organization to purchase a few combat vehicles. These patrons include non-political axe groups, mercenary groups, and some tribal warlords.

Although the order for a few cars is small, how big is Africa as a whole? How many places of confusion are there? It also adds up to a significant number.

The arms organizations and giants of those countries in the world will only sell to those countries that have money and resources, and underground arms dealers, in general, will not have a huge sales network and sufficient supply of goods in batches like Li Mo.

"Boss, with the technical proficiency of the workers and the improvement of some production processes, we have been able to produce combat vehicles at a rate of one day at a time." The expert replied.

"Oh? Isn't that twice as fast? Li Mo asked in surprise. He remembers that when the industrial park was first established, it could only be done at a rate of one in two days, and at that time, 70% of the parts and components of an infantry fighting vehicle were still purchased and assembled directly. Today, 40% of the parts of the tank can be produced by itself, and 15% of the parts can be purchased by enterprises that have been established in China in the past two years. It's remarkable that this can double the production speed.

"Hehe, boss, you should have seen the area under construction on the west side of town when you came, right? Because of the existence of the industrial park, there are now many wealthy businessmen in Somalia who have set up some subsidiary enterprises in the surrounding area to provide us with some parts with low technical requirements. I think as more and more factories open around it, it will form a complete industrial chain and even become an industrial base for Somalia. "The experts were excited as soon as they said this.

If most of the parts can be sourced locally, it will reduce the manufacturing cost of the product and will also reduce the production pressure on the industrial park. In the future, as long as the industrial park controls the core technology industry, it will be able to produce weapons one by one at a very low cost.

Li Mo nodded with satisfaction, this situation was something he was very willing to see. After all, no matter how strong the Xingchen organization is, it is impossible to involve every industry. Only some high-tech, high-investment, and slow-return heavy industries can be invested, and all the rest can be handed over to those businessmen and entrepreneurs.

It is only when the Somali industrial system is established that the products of the Star Organization can be industrialized on a large scale without hindrance.

"For these factories, the political axe should give preferential policies and vigorously support them. For some less important technologies, we can all help for free. Li Mo said happily.

"What the boss said is that the political axe has made full preparations for this, and every enterprise has policy tax incentives. We will also send technical personnel from time to time to provide technical support to those enterprises with good quality assurance and good reputation. ”

Li Mo was even more satisfied, and said, "The quality must be passed, all we produce are military supplies, and if the quality is not up to standard, it will not only delay time, but also affect our reputation, and in serious cases, it will reduce the combat effectiveness of the troops." ”

When Li Mo and the experts appeared in the northeast corner of the industrial park, a fenced-off and heavily defended base, the person in charge of the base was already waiting.

"Boss, this is what we've been doing for the past few months. Design model of the main battle tank, codenamed TSY-0. In the warehouse of the R&D center, He Ping pointed to a 1:1 model of a tank in the warehouse according to the actual scale.

In Li Mo's eyes, there was a tank painted with desert camouflage, but he looked at it carefully for a while, rubbed his eyes, and found that this tank was simply a copy of the T-72. If anything, the tank seems to be shorter and a little shorter. The turret, in particular, appears small.

"Boss, this is a new tank that we have developed based on the T-72 tank. In order to save time, we used data from the T-72 tank for most of the structural design. Modern tanks, in general, are excellent in several aspects: armor, power, fire control system, electronic countermeasures and ammunition. The architectural design, looking at the world's third-generation main battle tanks, is basically the same. After detailed discussions with Iranian experts, we believe that redesigning a new tank will not only take a long time, but also require a large investment, and it will take 3-5 years to equip it. This is too slow for the two countries. Later, the discovery of silicon-uranium alloy allowed us to find a shortcut, that is, to combine the mature design ideas of the current countries, join and integrate our own characteristics and strengths, and form a tank that meets the needs of the two countries, so as to save a lot of design demonstration time, so that the two countries can be equipped with advanced tanks as soon as possible. He Ping reported the results of tank research and development to Li Mo one by one.

Colonel Hardy next to him also nodded from time to time, and the Iranian political axe and military also felt that it would take too long to redesign a new tank, and it was better to improve it with a mature product. Iran also has an advantage over Somalia in this regard, as it currently has a production line for T-72 tanks. If it is based on the T-72 tank as a prototype improvement, Iran can directly produce tanks as long as it makes some modifications to the production line.

Soa-Iran and Iran are, by and large, Soviet-made weapons users. The chosen tank was, naturally, Soviet-made tanks. And the T-72, as a massively equipped third-generation tank, naturally entered the eyes of the two countries.

"TSY-0 We have completed the improvement of the external armor and turret, both using silicon-uranium alloy, the frontal protective armor and the turret are selected composite armor, which is designed and installed by silicon-uranium alloy and alloy steel according to the optimal protection ratio, which can increase the protection capacity of the original tank by 35%. This makes the frontal armor protection of the tank equivalent to 620mm homogeneous armor, and the composite armor used in the frontal turret is equivalent to 700mm homogeneous armor. In addition to the fact that the turret protection is the same as that of the American M1A1 tank, the frontal armor of the tank is 20mm higher than that of the M1A1 tank. But the weight is reduced by a quarter. ”

When Li Mo heard this number, his first reaction was not ecstasy, but a pain in his face. The surname of silicon-uranium alloy can, how does he not understand? The use of this alloy for tank protective armor will of course surpass the so-called 'composite armor' with a ceramic layer.

Don't these losers know the value of silicon-uranium alloys? How much should it be consumed for tank protective armor?

After He Ping triumphantly introduced, he noticed the expression of the boss looking at him gritting his teeth, and he couldn't help but shudder, not knowing where the boss was dissatisfied again.

Colonel Hardy, who was also excited, stared at the tank with greedy eyes, eager to swallow it in one gulp.

Allah is above, know that the composite armor composed of silicon-uranium alloy/steel is not only less thick, but more protective and most importantly, weightless. This is undoubtedly a revolution for the current bottleneck in the development of tanks in all countries in the world.

Modern main battle tanks, in terms of armor protection capabilities, have been studied to a bottleneck. Blindly increasing the thickness of armor in order to protect against anti-armor weapons has been considered a mistake. Hence the emergence of a wide variety of reactive armor. Because increasing the thickness of the armor, although it can protect against the armor-piercing attack of anti-armor weapons, it will increase the weight and reduce the power of the power system. Modern main battle tanks, often fifty or sixty tons, are a great test for roads and bridges, and if the weight is increased again, the combat environment of the main battle tank will be seriously restricted. This is definitely a major bottleneck in the development of tanks.

And this TSY-0 tank, the composite armor used, not only reduces the weight, but also enhances the protection ability. If this news is announced, it will definitely cause a sensation around the world.

Colonel Hadi can already see that when Iran's armored forces equipped with new tanks are making a run in the Middle East.

However, Colonel Hadi soon noticed that Li Mo's face was wrong, and he was not happy. He can swear, swear to Allah, that is absolutely dissatisfied.

Could it be that such an excellent tank armor, this big boss is not satisfied? Allah willing, does he want to build an impregnable mobile fortress?

"He Ping, how much silicon-uranium alloy does this tank need to consume?" Li Mo finally suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice. These guys really don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, and they don't know about silicon-uranium alloy, so they can only have 10,000 tons at present? This is not a composite armor developed by other countries that can only be used on armored combat vehicles, but a special alloy that can be used in many fields.

In Li Mo's thoughts, since the armor protection capability of this tank has been improved so much, it must have used a lot of silicon-uranium alloys, even if it is only one-twentieth of a tank, it is two or three tons. Its value is two or three million dollars, so the production cost of a tank is as high as five or six million dollars. The two countries are absolutely unequipped!
