"I'm not a soldier, but I also like to study the military, hehe, maybe this is every boy's hobby since childhood! Therefore, I am usually more concerned about international military trends. This time you came to me to develop a new combat vehicle for the military, and to be honest, I was very happy, but I looked at the conditions and specifications you gave, and I had some doubts. According to your requirements, this car can be said to be completely based on the Humvee, but we should also note that in the development of the world's military pattern to this day, especially after the test of the second Iraq war, the US military, as the world's most powerful military power, their requirements for military vehicles have changed, and the Hummer can no longer meet their needs, and they are also seeking a replacement car. I checked the new needs of the U.S. military on the Internet, and their requirements for the new combat vehicles are not only to be able to quickly and conveniently meet the transportation and transfer work for the army, but also to be able to provide powerful firepower and cover tasks, so I think the new combat vehicles of the U.S. military should be defined as, a new type of light armored combat vehicle! And it's not just about transportation. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang began to talk to Qian Longjiang, and his remarks also made Qian Longjiang nod frequently, obviously he also agreed with Jin Xiaoqiang's ideas.
In fact, the actions of the Americans are still quite sensitive on the military side of the Celestial Empire, and the speed of getting the source is of course much faster than that of Jin Xiaoqiang's.
"Our military is now adhering to the military concept of the former Soviet era, and the mainstream view is still that the army fights, but we should also note that the mode of modern warfare has changed, the way of over-the-horizon warfare has become the mainstream, and the requirements for the army are more direct and closer combat. In this way, there seem to be few opportunities for large-scale battles in the wilderness, and once there is closer contact, it means that there will be more street battles. In this way, I don't think the armored transporters we originally developed for old-fashioned warfare have much chance of playing a role, after all, in an environment like street fighting, the size of light armored personnel carriers still looks a little clumsy, and the loading method of ten to twelve people in a single vehicle is also very easy, causing great casualties to the team. Therefore, the mainstream method of warfare at present is to make combat units smaller and smaller. We don't have as much money as the Americans, and we can equip four or five people with a light armored combat vehicle, so can we equip six or seven people with one! ”
Based on his observation of the military development of later generations, Jin Xiaoqiang began to peddle his own understanding of military concepts to Qian Longjiang and them, although he could not guarantee that it would be right, but it was also very meaningful for the military to establish a team of experimental significance.
In fact, the military of later generations has been doing this, especially after the new leadership group in the next few years has realized the backwardness of the country's armed forces and the lack of funds for the troops, and has begun to increase military spending in large quantities.
In fact, this time the military came to him to seek a new type of combat vehicle, what did they mean? It's all about trying and experimenting!
I just introduced this new and more flexible and mainstream infantry combat method to the military in advance, and avoided the military from going through the detours taken by the Americans, and directly went directly to the hybrid monster with better armor protection and stronger firepower.
Jin Xiaoqiang said very long, and his mouth was a little dry, so he picked up the water cup and drank a sip of water, and at this time, Qian Longjiang on the other side also bowed his head and pondered, he didn't look at Jin Xiaoqiang, obviously what Jin Xiaoqiang just said, he listened to it.
"In this Iraq war, we have also seen that the most harmful weapons to the US military are roadside bombs or landmines, and the reason why the US military has suffered such losses is because their Humvee protection is insufficient. So why should we have to go through the detour of American fever again? We are developing a new combat vehicle this time, then we can learn from the experience of the Americans, and while focusing on transport forces, we are strengthening the protection system for our transport vehicles. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang continued, but as soon as his voice fell, Qian Longjiang on the other side said loudly.
"But Xiaoqiang, in this way, the body we designed will be weighted, and the weight of the body means that the flexibility of the vehicle, and the durability of the surname, will be greatly tested, and the power will also be a big problem, and there is fuel, you have to take into account that our military is a big oil user, but our funds have not been very sufficient."
Qian Longjiang's questions are very critical, obviously he really thinks what Jin Xiaoqiang said is feasible, but if you develop it according to this idea, you will indeed have to face many problems.
"Well, the weight of the body is indeed a big problem, so I will consider the modular design, so that this model, there will be a lot of derivative varieties, and we can also design detachable armor, just like the ancient heavy cavalry, only when it needs to be reloaded, it will be equipped with armor, if it is not needed, the armor plate can be removed. In terms of power, you can rest assured, I believe that from the new engine we announced at the Frankfurt Motor Show, you should also know that we have high-pressure common rail, direct injection in the cylinder, and turbocharging technology. As long as these technologies are transplanted to the diesel engine, then the power problem, you don't have to worry about it, as for the flexible surname, this will test the chassis design skills of our engineers, hehe, but please rest assured, as long as you have a project on the military side, then we can immediately start the project, let go of the study. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang smiled and gave Qian Longjiang a reassurance.
It is also true that the current mainstream technology of diesel engines is actually only in-cylinder direct injection technology with high-pressure common rail, and the other is turbocharging technology.
With the assistance of these two technologies, the diesel engine can achieve fuel saving at the same time, but it can burst out with more powerful power.
These technologies were originally tightly grasped by the Germans, and I was the first to develop the direct injection technology of diesel oil, which solved the problem of low combustion efficiency of diesel engines in the carburetor era.
Later, the Germans developed a high-pressure common rail and a variety of different injection state technologies, which made it even more diverse in the diesel combustion mode of the diesel engine, so as to achieve the purpose of more fuel efficiency.
You must know that when Hummer was developed, there was no such technology, but they can still achieve diesel consumption of only 0.16 liters per 100 kilometers.
Jin Xiaoqiang is convinced that if his side also follows up and pays close attention to the research, then they will definitely be able to do it, and it will definitely not be higher than the fuel consumption of the Hummer.
However, considering that the vehicle they want to develop may be larger and heavier than the Hummer in the future, then Jin Xiaoqiang feels that the model he has developed can reach the fuel consumption of the Hummer, it will be good.
In fact, the biggest problem in front of them at the moment is the chassis!
"Well, your idea is indeed very novel and interesting, of course, the technical ability of your Huayang Power, our military must be trustworthy."
Qian Longjiang did not agree to Jin Xiaoqiang's request, but it could be seen that he was very interested in Jin Xiaoqiang's suggestion.
Jin Xiaoqiang also saw Qian Longjiang's interest, so he hurriedly said to Qian Longjiang.
"Actually, last night, after I combined the Americans' summary of the Hummer and their needs for the new model, I already had some ideas, and then I spent some concept drawings coming out."
"What? Where's the picture? Take it out and take a look? ”
When Qian Longjiang heard this, he was immediately shocked, no wonder Lao Liu often told himself that this guy was a genius, and he could even be said to be a ghost.
This night's hard work, I figured out the design of the car, this guy is indeed quite awesome, but it's a pity that this kid is a car designer, and he didn't do physical chemistry or anything, otherwise this guy might really be able to win the Nobel Prize!
Jin Xiaoqiang took out several model drawings of the Knight XV that he copied last night, and of course some are modified versions, such as military pickup trucks and so on.
Qian Longjiang snatched it up, and then Pan Yifan and the other officer also surrounded him, and the three of them gathered together, carefully inspecting the drawings drawn by Jin Xiaoqiang, and even the old man Liu Hong came over and began to look inside......
"It's so beautiful......"
After a period of silence, it was Pan Yifan who unconsciously expressed his opinion on these sketches, and the other men were even more fascinated.
It is indeed taller than the Humvee, but it has a more aggressive appearance, and it can be seen from the thick doors that this car has more protection than the Humvee, and a machine gun turret or even a small turret can be added to the rear row......
"Xiaoqiang, you give me a good introduction to the design concept of your car, I'll go back and discuss it with the above!"
"Well, because this car needs better protection, I gave up the Humvee's wide and shriveled shape, the body will look a little taller, but the protection capacity will be greatly improved, and the body will be longer than the Humvee, can reach six meters, so that you can choose the number of combatants on the car more flexibly......"
