"The front composite armor of the tank is composed of two layers of 60mm homogeneous armor and one layer of 40mm silicon-uranium armor...... The front of the turret is composed of 280mm homogeneous armor and 50mm silicon-uranium armor, according to our accurate calculations, a TSY-0 tank is expected to use 1.1 tons of silicon-uranium alloy...... "Although He Ping didn't know why the boss reacted like this, he still answered the boss's question in detail. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

1.1 tons of silicon-uranium alloy, this part alone is worth 1.1 million US dollars, which is still the cost price of its own industrial production.

It costs $1,000 to produce one kilogram of silicon-uranium alloy, which is relatively expensive. However, the good news is that the cost is mainly calculated on the consumption of substance Y, and as for the value of substance Y, the data given by the expert group at present are calculated on the basis of the value of the highly enriched uranium produced by the consumption of a unit of substance y.

A new tank improved from the T-72 tank costs $1.2 million for armor alone, and if it is a complete tank, the cost of industrial production will reach more than $3 million. The numbers are scary. You must know that the T-80 tank, which is far more advanced than the T-72, costs only a little more than 2 million. Of course, the T-72 here is only a basic version, not some tank of special modifications.

At a unit price of $3 million, a Somali Defence Force armored regiment needs nearly $150 million to equip 48 tanks. This is also the cost price of internal procurement. If the price of sale is more expensive, and the size of the Somali armored regiment is smaller, if the United States is like the full armored division, there are 348 tanks alone, and the cost of purchasing tanks will exceed $1 billion.

Li Mo secretly said to himself, these advanced heavy weapons are really piled up by money, it is said that the unit price of the American M1A1 main battle tank is 4.8 million US dollars, and more money is needed. Only a country with deep pockets like the United States can purchase thousands of main battle tanks to equip the army in one go.

"He Ping, isn't the tank divided into five parts, can you tell me what's wrong with the other parts?" Li Mo temporarily pressed the thoughts that jumped in his heart and asked He Ping.

"Okay boss, I won't talk about the armored part of the TSY-0 tank, anyway, it has the world's advanced level. We also have a vision for the powertrain. He Ping glanced at Colonel Hardy with a calm gaze and said, "Iran is willing to provide a 900-horsepower low-speed diesel engine for our reference research, if it can replace the combustion chamber and cylinder part of the diesel engine with silicon-uranium alloy, and replace the relevant parts with heavier loads...... Although the manufacturing cost of the engine has risen sharply, it can increase the amount of heat released during fuel combustion and reduce the amount of heat consumed when converted into mechanical work. ”

The research and development of modern engines has been very mature, but why only a few countries have mastered high-power qualified engines, while other countries have the corresponding production processes in time, but they still cannot imitate it?

First of all, there is the problem of materials, many countries do not have high-power engines, but because the materials used to make engines are not up to standard, even if the output power is large, but the service life is extremely low, even only a few tens of hours.

Secondly, the machining accuracy of engine parts is not enough, and the machining accuracy of parts is not enough, which not only makes the engine life low and prone to failure, but also leads to large power consumption and affects the surname energy.

Xingchen has a high-performance material called silicon-uranium alloy, and an ultra-precision machine tool that only a few countries in the world have, but it lacks the production technology of high-power engines. In this regard, Iran is much stronger than the Star Organization, but because of the constraints of congenital conditions, it has not been able to transform many technologies into practical objects.

The discussion between the two sides before this cooperation, there was a very detailed understanding and understanding of the power system, He Ping took a fancy to Iran's technical reserves in the engine, plus some secrets of the Xingchen organization secretly not being manpowered, the combination of the two, an advanced high-power engine naturally appeared.

However, these are only arguments on paper, and the specific implementation still needs to be done step by step, which is why He Ping asked experts to help study the diesel engine of infantry fighting vehicles first.

Li Mo understood this, so he was relieved. Just now he was still wondering in the power plant. Although the engine of an infantry fighting vehicle has 500 horsepower, it is obviously not enough for a steel monster like a tank, which weighs dozens of tons. Now with the manufacturing technology of 900 horsepower diesel engines provided by Iran, it is not difficult to develop a 1000 horsepower engine. Although it is not as good as the engine of the main battle tank of Western countries, the Russian T-90 is still the Huaxia Type 99 tank, and the engine is only 1,000 horsepower.

"The fire control system is simpler." The first thing He Ping said next made Li Mo very stunned.

At the beginning, for the fire control system of infantry fighting vehicles, Li Mo can be said to have created Afghanistan in exchange for Huaxia to obtain the intelligence of the 'East Turkestan Islamic Movement' terrorist organization. More than two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the fire control system is very simple?

"At present, the world's main battle tanks are basically composed of an integrated fire control system, including optical sights, night vision devices and laser rangefinders, fire control computers and ballistic correction sensors. Among them, there are still some difficulties with our current technology, which is the ballistic correction sensor; Among the ballistic correction sensors, the laser rangefinder is our advantage. Other sensors such as target angular velocity, air temperature, wind power, etc., I think it is better to wait for the tank to be developed, and then make specific plans according to the combat objectives. ”

Sensors are automatic and manual, with the overall technical level of the current world, it is not that the more automatic sensors, the better, because many technologies are not mature, the more equipment, the higher the cost, and the failure rate will also increase greatly. Taking the German Leopard 2 tank as an example, the first batch of Leopard 2 tanks were equipped with a large number of automatic sensors, but due to various problems, the second batch of Leopard 2, Germany has reduced a lot.

In order to improve the accuracy of ballistic calculations and the first hit rate, as well as reduce costs, the failure rate is reduced. At present, the mainstream of all countries is to take into account some of the most influential factors and install automatic sensors, while some less important ones are changed to pre-war manual input.

"Electronic countermeasures systems are one of the biggest challenges we face today. There are too many categories of adversarial systems, and we do not have much research progress in many aspects, which require further research or access to technical resources internationally. ”

"The last ammunition system, we currently have hemispherical hollow charge depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, which is a killer feature for tanks, and in addition, we have also divided a group into a group to study some armor-piercing/armor-piercing shells, and I believe that soon there will be a series of complete ammunition systems."

After listening to He Ping's narration, Li Mo had an intuitive understanding of the progress of the new tank, and the new tank was basically designed at present, although most of the designs were borrowed. The main problem is the electronic countermeasure system, which has always been the weak point of the organization, and the Iranian side does not seem to have a good solution, so it is necessary to 'borrow' the technology from other countries in the world.

In addition, the power system, when the high-power engine is developed, the new tank can basically be put into production.

Of course, the most important thing is the silicon-uranium alloy. Whether it is armor or power system, it is applied to this high-energy alloy. Whether it is He Ping or the Iranian side, the expectations for this alloy are very large. But the two didn't know that the industrial production of this alloy requires the consumption of Y substance, and there are only so many Y substances, which must be studied by the expert group, and the produced silicon-uranium alloy cannot all be used in tanks. Li Mo is also going to keep some as bargaining chips to exchange things with others.

He Ping and Colonel Hardy both looked at Li Mo with blank eyes. Now that the general framework of the tank has been demonstrated, it is just a matter of building a few test vehicles to test the capabilities and problems of the new tank. However, here in the R&D center, there are only a few silicon-uranium alloys approved by Limott, which are simply not enough to produce a test car. The two of them now hope that Li Mo can batch some more silicon-uranium alloys.

"In this case, I will greet the leader of Abic later, and when the silicon-uranium alloy is produced, I will send it to you." Although Li Mo was not satisfied with the need for so many silicone oil alloys in the new tank, he also understood that with the technology of the Star Organization and Iran, it would be impossible to develop an advanced main battle tank without the existence of silicon-uranium alloys.

Fortunately, the total amount of silicon-uranium alloy is also 10,000 tons, and this kind of tank can survive to two tons, which is enough to produce 5,000 tanks. However, at the unit price of the new tank, it is obviously impossible for the two countries to purchase such a quantity. Especially in Iran, in the original agreement, Li Mo only provided 40 tanks of silicon-uranium alloy, and the rest needed to be paid by Iran.

Li Mo regretted it a little when he thought of this, he thought that silicon-uranium alloy could be like the production of steel, as long as there were raw materials, it could be industrialized on a large scale, but now he knew that before he found a substitute for substance Y, he could only have 10,000 tons of alloy, and he gave Iran forty tanks for nothing, which was equivalent to 80 tons of alloy, worth 80 million US dollars.

However, since we agreed at the beginning, it is not easy to regret it now, and Iran has contributed a lot in the development of new tanks, so we can't let our allies suffer too much.

Li Mo thought to himself.

After the two of them respectfully sent out the door, the smile on Li Mo's face disappeared.

"Boss......" The expert thought that the boss was still dissatisfied with what had just happened, and shouted in a low voice.

"It's okay, I'm thinking, since silicon-uranium alloys are so useful and scarce, at what price should I sell them to the outside world at that time? How much to sell is appropriate. ”

Now Iran knows the most about silicon-uranium alloys and knows that the value of this alloy is immeasurable. Syria and North Korea have also heard about the alloy through Iran and other networks, and have personally discussed cooperation with Mr. Limo.

It is believed that with the birth of the new tank, the silicon-uranium alloy will bring a whirlwind to the world, and what will be the global reaction at that time?

One thing Li Mo is sure of is that there will be greedy tentacles reaching out to Somalia.
