Chapter 111: The Tank Starts at Low Temperature

The cold wind is whistling, blowing on the face, as if it is a knife cut, the inside of the train is still relatively warm, this out, rashly contact with the cold wind, it is really a little unaccustomed.

Exhaled white breath out of his mouth, exhaled in, the cold air was also stimulating his lungs, at this time, when he just got out of the car, Wang Xiaoyu was still a little uncomfortable for a short time.

But then, she saw her lover and Qin Zhenhua, who was standing there, looking at her with a smile, and then stretched out her hands.

At this moment, all the thoughts and all the feelings came to mind in an instant, Wang Xiaoyu felt that her eyes turned red all of a sudden, and then, her body was tightly hugged by Qin Zhenhua, and the two hugged each other on the platform.

"Qin, your wife is very powerful." Beside him, Thomas sighed and said, in the Western world, it is not necessary for the husband and wife to hug when they meet, even if it is a kiss, or even a more intimate move, it is possible, and now, Qin Zhenhua and his wife are reunited after a long absence, this kind of action is not an exaggeration.

In the tank modification in the United States, Wang Xiaoyu and other employees from a machine factory also joined in and assisted in the modification, which greatly improved the progress, and Wang Xiaoyu and others' work ability was recognized by them.

Now, listening to Thomas's words beside her, Wang Xiaoyu finally suppressed her thoughts, left Qin Zhenhua's embrace, and then gave her husband to someone else.

Thomas's hand and Qin Zhenhua's hand were shaken, and then Dr. Wright.

"Mr. Wright, welcome to our machine factory to inspect, we would like to extend a warm welcome to you, we are all engaged in tanks, and we hope to have the opportunity to cooperate."

Of course, this is a polite remark, when he learned that Dr. Wright was coming, and he wanted to see his 85 tanks, and even put forward a request to see the production line, Qin Zhenhua was very annoyed, for the sake of this foreigner, he had to arrange it, and those that might leak secrets had to be temporarily hidden, just like being a thief, it was really unpleasant.

However, when I first went to the United States, after all, people warmly welcomed me, so I can't show my childishness now.

Zhao Guodong has been busy since he became the chairman of North Industries Corporation, and in the past few days, he has gone to other factories, so the hospitality here is handled by Qin Zhenhua.

"Yes, we are also honored that at the International Defense Exhibition a few months ago, your 85 tank turned in place and made a big splash." Dr. Wright said, "We're here to see your tank, but now, I'd like to see how to get the Jaguar down." ”

At this time, the camouflage net behind has been gradually uncovered, and the beautifully shaped tank appeared in a machine factory for the first time.

Although I have seen the design drawings, I have not seen the real thing, and now, seeing this tank in front of me, everyone has a feeling of brightness.

It's just an M1 tank that is one size smaller!

The shape of the tank is angular and angular, the turret that looks majestic and magnificent, giving people a sense of majesty, the hull of the tank has also added an additional layer of armor, and the side skirts have been perfectly wrapped.

The own side is also changing the 59 tank, but none of them have been changed to this extent, even if it is equipped with explosive reactive armor, it is not as atmospheric as the Jaguar tank in front of them, giving people a feeling of brightness, and the shadow of the previous 59 tank can no longer be found.

However, after reading it, the first question in front of everyone is how to launch it.

The tank is driven up directly, and it must be driven down directly, otherwise, a large crane must be used to lift it, but on the railway first, the overhead is a high-voltage line, and the crane is not convenient to operate at all.

If you want to drive it down by yourself, you have to start it first, and in this cold weather, it is not easy to start a tank.

In particular, although the shell has changed, in fact, it is still a 59 tank!

59 tanks, the three most difficult things, moving the battery, wiping the gun breech, changing the track, among the three things, moving the battery should be ranked first!

Even in later generations, lead-acid batteries are the most commonly used, the kind of lightweight lithium batteries, which will be closed in cold weather, although lead-acid batteries will also have insufficient capacity, but they are much stronger.

In cold weather, in order to facilitate the easy start of the tank, after the tank is turned off, the battery will be removed, put in a warm room, and when it is used, it will be moved out and installed on the tank.

The space is small, it can only accommodate one person, how to move, there is a trick, but no matter how trick there is, strength work is strength work.

The Jaguar tank in front of you, how to start?

If you follow the normal operation process, then you should remove the four batteries in the tank, replace them with four batteries that have just been moved out of the warm room, and then...

Needless to say, dismantling the battery and installing the battery, it will take half an hour to say less, right? It is definitely not possible not to change it, after all, in this kind of weather, driving all the way, the four batteries inside the tank are estimated to have been unable to release the internal power due to low temperature.

In the army, it doesn't matter if you are a commander or a loader, you can move one piece by one, and you will not be biased.

So, the big guy doesn't need to watch here, let's disperse, what should I do, this weather is too cold.

However, it is clear that a machine factory has been prepared for a long time.

A truck with a special Mercedes-Benz chassis started over, the engine of this car is still spinning, it sounds very energetic, and there are a few words written on the side of the car: Tank low-temperature start test vehicle.

Of course, Dr. Wright and the others couldn't read Chinese characters, and they were there at this time, watching each other's operations as fierce as tigers.

"That's the starting cable?" Dr. Wright asked, looking at the thick cable that had been pulled down from the car.

Tanks, or other vehicles, at the moment of starting, are a high-current discharge of a battery, often hundreds of amperes, which is difficult to do with lithium batteries, so lithium batteries can be used as power batteries, but rarely as starting batteries.

Such a large current requires the starting cable to be as short as possible, but also as thick as possible, just like now, the thick cable is really not short, is it intended to be connected to the battery, and the battery in parallel?

However, I'm afraid that's not enough, right? In winter, the battery capacity is insufficient, this thing is like a starter power car for an airplane, the outside world is powered, but the starter of the engine can't stand it.

For a short time, the stimulation of large current, the starter is very powerful, but it cannot run for a long time, otherwise it will burn out, so the vehicle that cannot be started in winter, the time of each start, and the interval between two starts, are regulated.

Now, is this a stance to burn the starter?

"Turn on the fuel heater." It's still going on in an orderly manner.

In fact, starting in the cold area is nothing, Lao Maozi is cold and snowy all year round, don't you start the vehicle yet? People roast on fire, where it is cold, whether it is the engine, the fuel tank, or even the tires.

Now, it is naturally impossible for this special low-temperature starting test vehicle to use an open flame, with a special fuel heater, burning diesel to provide heat, and then converting it into hot air, blowing along the air duct to the engine compartment.

If it is an old 59 tank, ordinary water is used as coolant, at this time, it is necessary to heat the water and constantly pour hot water into the tank until the hot water flows out, and now, this advanced engine has used a special coolant, but this step is saved.

Five minutes later.

"Start the engine."

Puffs of black smoke came out, and after the starter motor was spinning for half a minute, the crisp sound of the high-pressure oil pump was heard, and the engine had been started with a clatter.

Dr. Wright on the side was dumbfounded, he has been advocating that gas turbines, good low-temperature starting performance is an advantage, and now? It seems that people have also specially developed corresponding equipment to solve the problem of low temperature starting.
