427 Racing Tank (1)
Different from the round turret of domestic tanks, these two tanks are like the American M1, abandoning the round and huge cast turret of the tank, the body is welded after processing steel plates and castings, the configuration is low and huge, the thickness of the armor varies from 15mm to 135mm, the front and side have inclined angles to increase the protection ability, the bomb avoidance ability is greatly increased, and the entire hull adopts a comprehensive American M1 tank The front and turret are equipped with ceramic composite armor and the German Leopard 2 gap composite armor.
Such a protective force would be a very terrifying number.
These things, people who have not seen the production process, who have not seen the internal structure, cannot see clearly from the outside at all.
The Ninth Academy has the right to initiate projects independently, and what they present to the national military is only the result, regardless of the process, and whether the result is adopted or not is also a matter for the military. Whether there is an order or not, they don't care, anyway, they only care about research and development, regardless of production, of course, the military wants technology, which has to be paid.
The Pakistanis have a fanatical pursuit of the excellent performance of tanks, and in several Indo-Pakistani wars, their tanks have taken advantage of and suffered losses, so they are very satisfied with Liu Yijiu's heartbroken protective design.
They even hope to be able to make a tank that will not be outdated for decades, which will save them more military spending.
After seeing such a design, I didn't have any opinions except that I hoped that Liu Yijiu would lead the design team of the Ninth Academy to design more frenzied tank defensive armor and more ferocious firepower.
There are weapons and equipment that money can't buy in this world.
Otherwise, Pakistan would never have painfully thrown out $50 million to participate in this design from the outset. This is when China needs foreign exchange.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "As soon as the tank reached the gate of the assembly shop, a loud explosion sounded outside.
"What's going on?" A group of bigwigs who didn't understand the situation were suddenly shocked. Could it be that something happened out there?
Qian Dayong smiled and explained to the bigwigs, "Chiefs, please don't worry. This is a big firecracker made by those guys in District Nine......"
A string of black lines suddenly appeared in everyone's heads.
Liu Yijiu was in a cold sweat when he watched it, these guys were really a little excessive. Although this is the tradition of the Chinese people, you have to set off a few firecrackers to celebrate the start or completion of any project, and it will not make such a big noise!
Outside the assembly workshop, the workers and their families of the entire base who were waiting here were already surrounded, and people were surrounded on both sides of the valley.
When Liu Yijiu saw this, maybe the people in the entire base appeared, he never thought that there would be so many people in the entire base.
There were so many people that the tank didn't travel far except the workshop when it was forced to stop by the crowd that was rushing in frantically. Countless technicians, countless workers with crystal tears in their eyes, crowded towards the tank, and even Liu Yijiu saw Xie Heping with two people holding two big red silk in their hands tied to the barrel of the tank raised high!
This is a unique way of celebration for the Chinese.
In any case, this is the first piece of heavy equipment that everyone in the entire Ninth Courtyard base has been dissatisfied with for a year and a half.
For those engaged in the military industry, large heavy equipment such as tanks, airplanes, and artillery is the real military equipment. A small thing like a firearm is the main force of war. But it cannot show the strength of a country's military-industrial system.
"What's going on with these guys? Actually engaged in this set of feudal superstitions that hung red on tanks! Seeing the situation in front of him, Rao is well-informed Li Yunlong, Liu Qingshan and others were also dumbfounded, and the corners of Li Yunlong's mouth twitched. looked at Liu Yijiu.
Liu Yijiu spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and shook his head to show that he didn't know what was going on.
"It's not a big deal. This is our way of celebrating, and it has nothing to do with feudal superstition! Didn't you see that every soldier would bring a big red flower when he joined the army? That's a glorious symbol! Long Yaohua's words made things not make any waves.
When Qian Dayong and Jiang Ming were both hoarse with loudspeakers shouting, the crowd moved out of the way of a road that was only less than five meters wide. Let the tank of more than three meters move slowly......
In addition to the driver, the commander and gunner opened the hatch and got out of it, they were wearing the newly developed desert camouflage summer long-sleeved military uniforms of the eighth district, these people were from the base garrison, and they started training early in the morning.
Due to the Soviet-style hydraulic reloading mechanism, the entire tank consisted of only three people.
As if being inspected, the two tanks slowly drove towards the front at a synchronized speed, and it took half an hour to reach the main road more than three kilometers away from the workshop in the fifth district.
Looking at the distant tank, Wang Shunyi and Liu Suxue, who rarely appeared here, put down the binoculars in their hands at the same time, glanced at each other, and saw the serious joy of both sides.
"You have to be angry!" Wang Shunyi spit out this sentence, and the whole person was much more relaxed.
"You owe me a drink!" Liu Suxue said calmly.
No one knows whether Wang Shunyi is talking about making these two prototypes that have started performance tests compete or Liu Yijiu fighting. They were surrounded by only a few internal security personnel in black uniforms with the word NB embroidered on their shoulders.
"Lao Li, you don't care about this matter? Lao Liu didn't come forward to talk about it? The two test tanks drove towards the test site with black smoke from the assembly workshop, the speed was not very fast, at first it was only one or twenty kilometers per hour, and a group of bigwigs got into the 212 jeep waiting outside, and chased forward through the road made by the base personnel and their families with excitement and tears on their faces.
Long Yaohua saw that there was a conflict between the team between 617 and the Ninth Academy, and he wanted to stop it, he was a member of the General Staff.
Li Yunlong watched his department very closely, and they were not allowed to meddle in the affairs inside.
Liu Qingshan smiled bitterly, "Chief, the Ninth Academy no longer belongs to our Fifth Machine Department now, and only Minister Li can take care of this matter." ”
"It's a good thing that there is competition to develop." Li Yunlong said with a smile.
Liu Yijiu was on top of a jeep in front of him, and now there are still more than 30 kilometers of mountain roads from the test site, how long will it take to reach it at this speed!
In the face of Li Yuming's provocation at the 617 base, Liu Yijiu didn't care, it was a mule or a horse, just pull it out and walk it.
The tests of their new tank will not only begin at the test site, but also on the road speed. All kinds of components are assembled together to go through a variety of rigorous tests, which is unique to China, especially the manufacture of various heavy equipment that is very difficult for the Chinese, and the testing of various components is simulated in the equipment environment.
So, they don't need to be like the Americans and Europeans, who have to go through a long static test after assembly before they can be started.
The 212 jeeps behind are not too fast on these mountain roads, and the road paved with carbon slag is no different from flat ground for the two tanks, and the land base of the road is very good when heavy equipment is pulled in, and the tanks weighing less than 40 tons basically do not crush any traces.
Li Rui drove, Liu Yijiu was a little impatient with the slow speed of the tank in front, and he directly pressed the horn of the steering wheel in Li Rui's hand while sitting in the co-pilot, urging the two tanks in front to speed up.
"Commander, what is our little Instructor Liu doing? Keep honking the horn, or should we speed it up? "The gunner Xiaozhuang heard the horn outside, he was very bored, and the driver had something to do, as long as the tank moved. The commander also has to command, and at the same time contact with other tanks, and when he is not **, he is a wood.
"Bang!" The captain's hand slammed on his head, "It hasn't rained for days, and if we are fast, the dust raised high will not let the chiefs eat a mouthful of dirt!" These chiefs are all cautious, be careful that when the time comes, we will be thrown into the cooking class and watch this other person drive a tank to play! ”
"It's still the commander of the car!" These guys are not honest people, they can be called elite in the capital garrison, even if they are eliminated by the dragon's teeth, they are not comparable to ordinary soldiers.
In particular, he took turns to see blood on the battlefield on the southwestern border.
"Drive your car well, don't fucking overturn the tank in a moment!" The commander was amused when he said this.
You can overturn the tank on a flat road, but you don't have this technology!
It's not wheeled.
"Hole two, hole two, what's going on? Speed up, climb at the speed of a turtle on such a road, don't you spoil our tanks, if you can't go back to being a cook......" Under the command of the commander, the idle gunner put down the soundproof baffle and was too lazy to listen to the horn behind him.
Unexpectedly, the radio communication station in the car rang.
As soon as he connected it, he heard Liu Yijiu's angry voice.
"Chief, if we are fast, you will have to eat ashes. It doesn't matter if you eat ashes, the key is that we can't afford to mess with the leaders in the back! "The commander was helpless.
"You mean you can't afford to mess with them, but you can afford to mess with me? Do you want to change to the women's special forces team right away? They are much more obedient than you! When Liu Yijiu heard this answer, he immediately became angry, these guys simply don't take themselves seriously.
It seems that can't be too nice to them.
Hearing Liu Yijiu's anger, the two cars in front of him contacted each other channel, Liu Yijiu threatened like this, they were definitely able to do it.
After some discussion, the tank began to slowly pick up speed, and the roar of the engine became louder and louder......
"What are they doing here?" Seeing that the engines of the two tanks in front of him suddenly roared, Li Yuming's brows furrowed. (To be continued......)
