"Welcome to Nizhny Tagil, old friends, you haven't been here for many years, you must miss this place." Standing at the door of the conference room of the Nizhny Tagil Design Bureau, looking at the tank designers who walked in one by one, Kartsev was in a particularly good mood today.

Although he is retired, he can naturally participate in this forward-looking seminar on future tanks, and Moscow's approval of their participation in Tagil has given him a big face.

Many old friends moved away after the end of World War II, and now, it can be regarded as a return to the old place, and Kartsev's welcome is very warm now, but there seems to be a special meaning in those words.

For a long time, those famous tank designers have a condescending attitude towards Lower Tagil, thinking that people are the orthodoxy of [Cuiweiju], and this is a leftover leftover.

As a result, the T-72 tank turned out and slapped many people in the face, and those people looked at the attitude of Tagil, which was even more intriguing, at such a time, the meeting was held in Nizhny Tagil, and many people actually did not want to come.

However, this meeting sounded very exciting, and the document written by the Nizhny Tagil Design Bureau was quite weighty, and the wonderful ideas coincided with their ideas, so they still came.

After coming, he was sneered at by Kartsev.

In the Morozov Design Bureau, the patriarch Morozov has long since retired, and now, inside the design bureau, the chief designer Nikolai, is standing there, looking at Kartsev.

Once? Both worked under Morozov? Kartsev was able to jump at the speed of a rocket in a few years and become the leader of Tagil? In addition to their own ability? There is also credit for Molozov's promotion.

Now, Nikolai had a playful smile on his face: "Dude? We meet again, why don't you want to enjoy your old age? Tossing all the time? Tossing and turning until now, won't you stop? ”

Isn't this meeting, held in Nizhny Tagil, just a toss-up? Not enough tossing on the T-72 at the beginning?

"Life goes on and on? The toss is endless. "At this moment? Qin Zhenhua happened to be passing by and interjected, and Nie Qianqian on the side helped translate, and Qin Zhenhua had already stretched out his hand: "It's a great honor to meet you, Mr. Nikolai." ”

"This? Is that Mr. Qin Zhenhua? We are very envious of the achievements of your great eastern powers in recent years. Nikolai said, "But? Do you still have to learn more and strive to make the tank better? In five to ten years, to reach the level of our T-80 tanks? That's good. ”

This sentence is high above? Read between the lines? Obviously, you are still dissatisfied with their tank ranking, it will take you five to ten years to catch up to the level of our T-80 tanks, and your list is to slander the technical level of our tanks.

Qin Zhenhua couldn't hear it, Nie Qianqian's translation was quite accurate, and she made the other party's meaning clear, Qin Zhenhua smiled: "I thought it was a T-64 tank, it turned out that you also thought that the T-80 tank was the best tank in the Soviet Union." ”

He skillfully steered the contradiction to the opposite side.

The Morozov Design Bureau designed the T-64 tank, and as a result, the Kirov plant was replaced with a gas turbine, which became the T-80 tank, and according to the number, at present, before the newer number, the T-80 tank should be the most advanced tank.

The other party mentioned the T-80, of course Qin Zhenhua also mentioned it, just to stimulate and stimulate the other party, was picked by someone else, how does it taste?

Hearing this, Nikolai shook his head: "You don't know this, do you?" The T-80 tank, of course, is our best tank, and at present, our Malyshev plant is producing the latest T-80UD tank, which is the strongest model in the T-80 series. ”

I really don't know, the Soviet Union has been installed for several years, but the Western world has not found any clues, and the tank of its own model is so powerful. Qin Zhenhua sighed secretly in his heart.

"Really? I thought it was the T-64B tank, this tank, it sounds very powerful, I don't know if I have a chance to see it. Qin Zhenhua said.

Since the other party mentioned it, of course he had to open his eyes, and Qin Zhenhua, who was ashamed, made a request to watch it, and I don't know if the other party can agree.

Hearing this, Nikolai, who was beaming with pride, was stunned for a moment.

The tanks of the Morozov Design Bureau, of course, could not let the Kirov plant steal the limelight, so when the Kirov plant began to produce T-80 tanks, the Morozov Design Bureau was holding back a breath of fire, and they began to continue to improve their T-64B tanks, working hard to improve the performance of the fire control system and improve the combat efficiency in the turret, and then, the Moscow side also seemed to feel that it was too unfair to the Morozov Design Bureau, so there was a batch of T-80U tanks equipped with gas turbines, It is also produced at the Maryshev plant in Ukraine, which is installed at the Molozov Design Bureau.

Although the gas turbine sounds tall and mighty, its procurement cost is ten times that of a diesel engine, and the cost of use is more than twice that of a diesel engine, and the Soviet army also felt that it could not afford to use it, so the Morozov Design Bureau stuffed the 80TD engine into the 6TD engine on the basis of this T-6U tank.

That's right, this 6TD is based on the original 5TD diesel engine, adding an additional set of cylinders, so that the displacement increases, the power is enhanced, and it reaches the level of 1,000 horsepower, although the maneuverability is still not comparable to the gas turbine version, but it is cheaper! The Soviet army was satisfied with this tank and finalized it as the T-80UD tank.

Now, this tank is the product being produced by the Malyshev plant, and it is also the most proud of Nikolai, and if there is a global tank ranking, their tank should be ranked first!

Show it off, just let Qin Zhenhua know that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, where do you know, Qin Zhenhua actually said that he wanted to go and see it, what he produced there was a tank for the Soviet army's own use, can you see it casually?

"We still want to catch up with the T-80 tank in five to ten years, but since we can't see it, forget it." Qin Zhenhua's words were full of regret, although the tone of the translated words was a lot more euphemistic, but they could also hear it, Qin Zhenhua's meaning was very simple, he didn't let him see it, and he claimed that he had good performance, that is, Wang Po sold melons and boasted about herself.

Qin Zhenhua knew that relying only on the agitation method would not work, and he was about to leave, when suddenly, looking at the assistant behind Nikolai, he was suddenly shocked.
