If you can run a qualified tank now, even if it's 1223, that's fine! At this time, Qin Zhenhua sighed very much in his heart.

A person's strength is small, he already has a project of the Panther diesel engine, so there is no way to take care of more, and the research and development of the second-generation tank can only be a sigh.

If the power match is not good, it will definitely not work, after all, the second-generation tank is heavier, and what is needed is a stronger power system.

With such regrets, Qin Zhenhua is still making introductions while walking.

"Our current tank chassis uses large-diameter load wheels, which have many advantages, such as long life of the torsion bar, low wear and tear, and especially, low price." Qin Zhenhua can only introduce the chassis now, so while heading to the destination, he gave everyone an introduction.

The last cheapness is the most important thing, but the disadvantages of this kind of load wheel are also obvious.

"However, this large-diameter load wheel is inherently not stable and noisy, so we followed the trend and developed a new chassis for medium diameter load wheels."

Large-diameter load-bearing wheel, poor smoothness, because of its up and down movement of the stroke is large, naturally it is more bumpy, the most terrible thing, is that there is no carrier pulley on it, the track is directly pulled on the load-bearing wheel, so that when traveling at high speed, the crawler will keep bumping, knocking, and producing impact noise.

"Our six-pair load-bearing wheel chassis, which has been developed for many years, is now fully mature." While introducing, I came to the R&D room, and the hull of the tank was fortunately already taking shape.

The chassis of this tank is larger, and when viewed from the side, six pairs of load-bearing wheels support the weight of the entire body, and there are three carrier pulleys on it, and the entire running mechanism looks more coordinated and beautiful.

The turret on it has not been buckled up, so a large round hole has been exposed, and the engine behind it has not been loaded in, and it is also empty, in short, the whole tank looks, that is, a semi-finished product, there is only one chassis, just such a thing, can Lao Ba take a fancy to it?

Yes, they did.

Although the tanks of the West are advanced, the price is high, while the weapons and equipment of the Eastern powers have always been of high quality and low price, and under the same performance indicators, the price of the Eastern powers is only half of that of the West.

Therefore, under various factors, if Lao Ba wants to have more advanced tanks, the best plan is to start from the big countries in the East.

This new second-generation tank chassis is the beginning of a higher level!

Sharif walked up, circled around the six pairs of load-bearing wheels, and then nodded non-stop: "Such a chassis, which can bear a weight of more than forty tons, is also a good choice for us, what about its engine?" ”

For a tank, whether it can succeed or not, the engine and transmission system, play a large role.

Engine, is an important measure of a country's industrial strength of the symbol, tank engine requirements in a limited volume to achieve the highest power output, metallurgy, materials, etc., from the basic industry put forward a high demand, the reason why the Germans can lead the world, the first to make the Leopard-2 this three generations of tanks, advanced 1500 horsepower engine is one of the important factors.

And for the technical strength of the Eastern countries, Sharif also knows clearly, welding this body, making this chassis, the Eastern countries are no problem, but the problem of the engine, that is a roadblock.

"When it comes to the engine, we use advanced design concepts." Qin Zhenhua introduced: "It is installed in the form of an integral power unit, and it only takes 15 minutes to complete the battlefield replacement, and it adopts a longitudinal installation method, which is more convenient, and we plan to use a variety of transmission systems, including the scheme of hydraulic transmission automatic transmission." ”

Let's talk about the ideas first, because these ideas must be in line with the other party's appetite.

Sure enough, after Sharif heard this design plan, he nodded again and again: "That's right, such a plan is the most suitable." ”

Although Lao Ba does not have much money on hand, after all, he has always had a good relationship with the West, he has seen the world, and they also have ideas about how to build tanks.

Soviet tanks have never paid attention to this kind of ergonomics, it takes a day's work to replace the engine, and it is even more impossible to change the equipment on the battlefield, only the design concept of the overall power unit can be done, and now, he is also very satisfied with the design concept of being able to hear such a design concept from a machine factory.

The big countries in the East have opened their doors to the world, and have begun to integrate with the world.

Wait, it seems that the other party still didn't say what engine to use?

At this time, Qin Zhenhua had already introduced the turret: "We plan to use a welded turret, install a 120 mm large-caliber gun and an automatic loader, and become a world-leading main battle tank." ”

Anyway, it is a shell of the car body, against this shell, first flicker, if they take a fancy to it, to place an order of hundreds of vehicles, even if it is just to make a foreshadowing, with this shell to hang their appetite, so that they often remember, often come to see, it is also a great benefit.

"Which engine are you going to install?" What exactly is the motivation? Sharif asked.

"At this stage, there are several engine programs, we have our own research and development of 730 horsepower engines, as well as 1000 horsepower engines imported from Germany, if you are interested, we can compare from it, choose qualified engines, and even, you can also go to the international market to purchase engines, we package installation."

In the last sentence, Qin Zhenhua was actually joking, but he didn't expect that the other party would get serious about this joke.

"Yes, we can purchase engines from the world, and we can also purchase fire control systems, so can the final assembly be carried out in our country?" Sharif asked.

Do you want to assemble in your country? So what do we do? Qin Zhenhua felt a little strange about this unexpected proposal, but he understood it later.

Lao Ba has taken a fancy to his own six pairs of load-bearing wheel chassis! Their sworn enemy, India, has now begun to develop its own Arjun tank, and of course Lao Ba is also holding back a lot of energy, hoping to develop and produce tanks by himself.

In other words, Lao Ba is now looking at this semi-finished product of his side, if it enters their eyes, then this is a major breakthrough in a machine factory!

This is not only an export product, but also an export of the entire production line, which is the first time in China!

Among them, I don't know how many difficulties will be waiting for you, after all, this tank has just been developed, but this is definitely a new beginning!

Qin Zhenhua, who was full of excitement, heard Sharif continue: "This also needs to go through our strict domestic tests, and we are looking forward to it." ”
