Now that the physical limits of basic materials have been reached, it is necessary to make a breakthrough in principle if you want to continue to increase the performance of your weapon. ”

The impressive armor-piercing experiment has ended, the armor-piercing bullet is pierced on the sixth steel plate, like an arrow shot into the butt of a wild boar, after pulling it out, there is really a depth of about 50 millimeters inside, and the overall penetration depth, 550 millimeters is proper!

Now, the two cars are side by side, and while everyone continues to discuss, Xie Huimin is also introducing to everyone, why is it burning?

"If we want to have a deeper armor-piercing ability, we have to find a harder material, tungsten alloy is one of the most ideal materials, and the No. 4 special alloy material is a more advanced material than tungsten alloy, because in the process of armor-piercing, the dust and debris that are rubbed down will burn." Xie Huimin introduced: "It is precisely because of its combustion, so it will accelerate the softening of the armor, so that we can get deeper armor-piercing ability, at present, our tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet, has reached a bottleneck period, and the No. 4 special alloy, is just showing its might, we expect that the development of this material, the performance should be improved by about 10 percent, when the time, our 120 mm tank gun, also has 600 mm armor-piercing ability." ”

I can burn! It is a characteristic of this material at present, and it is precisely because of this characteristic that the armor-piercing ability of one's own side has been significantly improved, ten percent, which is already very powerful.

"At present, as far as we know, the United States, the Soviet Union, are studying such armor-piercing shells, which is already a new direction of development, and I suggest that our relevant departments continue to improve the current No. 4 special alloy and strive to improve a certain performance." Xie Huimin continued.

There are many characteristics of this material, self-sharpening is one thing, and being able to burn is another, and now, after hearing Xie Huimin's words, some people have raised questions: "So, will this kind of shell have an impact on the health of our soldiers?" ”

Just now, everyone has taken strict measures, the overpressure three-proof system was started, and when I came back, I sprayed it several times with a fire faucet, what about the battlefield?

"When it comes to manufacturing and equipping, its impact is minimal." Xie Huimin said: "Only when it is used, will it have a certain impact. ”

"So, we don't have to think about these effects at all." At this moment, Qin Zhenhua spoke.

Everyone is not a virgin, there is no need to pity anything, war is originally the most cruel, Qin Zhenhua, who has been on the battlefield, understands this very well.

On the battlefield, if you can't penetrate the opponent's armor, then you have to die, this is the most basic law, what is environmentally friendly, what damages health? Who cares about that, what can't you do when you're alive or dead?

Now those two rivals are fighting, and they have already begun to attack each other's oil tankers!

If tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets already work, then use tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets, if not? In order to destroy the enemy's tanks, with this special alloy No. 4, so what?

Everything is aimed at defeating the enemy! This is just an insignificant amount of radioactive dust, if you are really in a hurry, nuclear war is possible, and hundreds of thousands of casualties are likely at every turn, do you still care about this damage?

Needless to say, if the Soviet Union in the north fights and bulldozes the rolling torrent of armor, when the time comes, the own side will definitely not hesitate to use nuclear bombs.

So, considering this effect now, it is simply a woman's kindness.

Actually, the claim about the issue of radioactivity is also exaggerated, but did Hiroshima, which was the first to be hit by the atomic bombing, become a no-man's land?

Of course not, it was rebuilt in 1958, and by 2019, it had even become the 149th among the top 500 cities in the world.

The Chernobyl nuclear power plant, a serious nuclear accident, and then it was said how terrible it was, what kind of rats the size of wild boars and so on, in fact, after the reactor that exploded at this nuclear power plant was disposed of, the other units, still in operation, the last unit, was not shut down until the new millennium.

"yes." He Lao said: "Whether you need it or not, that is our choice, but whether there is it or not, this is a matter of principle, we must have." ”

He Lao's words set the tone for this matter, back then on a certain island in the north, none of our weapons could penetrate the armor of the T-62 tank, what was our army like at that time?

Aggrieved!

Now, if the penetration depth can reach 600 mm, it is of great significance to the troops, and the current self-propelled anti-tank gun is already the most powerful anti-tank weapon!

Do you need it? Absolutely!

Its armor-piercing ability, more than half of the current 105 mm tank gun, is the most powerful in the country, once the Soviets have something more powerful, our 105 mm tank gun can't penetrate, at least there is this self-propelled anti-tank gun!

"How was the problem of its reloading solved?" At this moment, another question was raised.

There were many reasons for denying the 120 mm tank gun, in addition to the concept that the larger the caliber, the greater the firepower, and the other thing was that its loading problem was not easy to solve.

Now, on this self-propelled gun, how can such a problem be solved?

"You can see it from here." Xie Huimin happily continued to explain to everyone.

Wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are destined to only be a supporting role, and this self-propelled anti-tank gun of their own, that is the protagonist.

"After careful research and consideration, as well as Zhenhua's suggestion, we adopted a semi-automatic loading method." Xie Huimin pointed to the device inside and introduced: "We have a relatively wide tail compartment, in which you can put shells, and the loader will move the shells to this semi-automatic loader, and then, the semi-automatic loader will complete the loading action, because it is integrated, so the gun does not need to return to a fixed elevation angle, at any angle, it can be loaded." ”

This system is also mature at present, and next, you can also let the troops see its maximum rate of fire.

Everyone was very interested in this plan, and several people crowded into the turret, studied it, and were quite satisfied with the design of the Second Machine Factory.

The 120mm tank gun, after a bumpy fate, finally ushered in a bumper day!
