After all, in the minds of the Soviets, everything is premised on fighting a nuclear war, which is already a deep-rooted assumption, and when they engage in all kinds of weapons, they are aiming at nuclear war.

"You have been preparing for nuclear war, how many years have you been preparing for it?" Qin Zhenhua continued to talk eloquently: "From the beginning of the fifties to the present, we are about to enter the nineties, has a nuclear war ever broken out? No, because everyone knows that once a nuclear war is really fought, it will be the end of the world, when the two super blocs have the strength to destroy the earth, the two sides will inevitably be more careful, at this time, a nuclear war cannot be fought, only one side supports or personally intervenes in regional conflicts, such as the war of the mountain country, for example, the war of the monkey country, in this kind of war, will nuclear weapons be used? Do you find it useful to put any concept of the design of weapons into a nuclear war, and as a result, this war will never break out, and even more so in the future? Is it necessary? ”

"But we have to prepare." Questions were raised.

"Ready? What to prepare? The general trend of the world is inevitably to gradually move towards peace, and your leaders don't they say the same? Otherwise, how could I be standing here? Qin Zhenhua's words are sanctimonious, but they are also justified.

The general trend of the world is indeed towards peace, and now look at it, the Soviet Union is no longer as aggressive as it used to be? Has the USSR begun to shrink? But want to be truly peaceful? That's by your own fists? Peace, is it fought? Can you defend your motherland only if you have enough strength to resist external aggression? In exchange for peace? Like a few years ago, if the country had not fought that war on the southern border, would there have been peace on the southern border?

Weak monkeys, nothing more than with the support of the USSR? A local war fought? This just confirms what Qin Zhenhua just said, a direct confrontation between the two superpowers will not happen, only one country will personally intervene, or will it support a country to fight a local war? In this case, there is no need to make any nuclear warheads, right? Conventional warfare is enough.

At the end of the day, thinking too much about nuclear war? And to ignore the development of the electronic systems of the tank is rather irrational.

"Can you take a look? What has the rapid development of electronic technology in the West in recent years? Although the effects of a nuclear war are also taken into account? But we will definitely not be stumped by this premise, we can also speculate that in the future, the use of electronic systems will be more and more, if there is no advantage of electronic systems, then on the battlefield, there is no chance of survival, now, the West has begun to put forward the theory of information warfare, I believe, you must have heard of it. ”

Although there are still a lot of questioning expressions on the people present, some people are beginning to believe that in the future era, there will definitely be more use of electronic systems, and the cockpit of this tank driver will become more and more advanced, and in the end, it will be like in a science fiction movie.

"Okay, when we discuss the future tank design concept, there will definitely be disputes, and we have a sentence called the argument of truth, so when we finish introducing it, we can continue to discuss." Qin Zhenhua said: "I will then introduce our power system to you. Two columns, change the slides. ”

It can be found that every time he asked Erzhu to change the slides, the Dulaba engineer would raise his head intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was waiting for a new slide, but in fact, he was observing Wang Erzhu, and his eyes were extremely complicated.

Qin Zhenhua smiled secretly in his heart.

"In terms of engines, we predict that the demand for tank power in the future will be increasing." Qin Zhenhua said: "Think back then, in the fifties, the tank engine was still hovering around 500 horsepower, but now? A 1,000-horsepower engine is already standard, a 1,500-horsepower engine is the goal that everyone is pursuing, and further, we believe that the new generation of tanks needs at least 2,000 horsepower, and the maximum speed of the tank needs to exceed 80 kilometers per hour. At the same time, in order to reduce the volume of the tank engine, the X-type engine will gradually emerge, which uses most of the technology of our current V-engine, as if the two engines are combined, so the power should be able to break through to two thousand horsepower. ”

Anyway, bragging about not paying taxes, you can say whatever you want, what's wrong with two thousand horsepower, in the fifties and sixties, who would have thought that a tank engine would be so powerful as fifteen hundred horsepower?

Now we are thinking about the technology of the future, 2,000 horsepower, and that's just the standard.

"Of course, this kind of engine will encounter various problems in the research and development, but we believe that as long as we make great efforts to study, we will definitely gain something." Qin Zhenhua introduced: "In the fourth generation of tanks, this engine system will definitely be applied, and at the same time, I know that everyone present must also have doubts. ”

"That's right, we believe that the engine of the gas turbine is the future of power." Sure enough, the visitors to the Kirov plant were not satisfied, you are here, boasting about what diesel engine, whether it is V-type or X-type, as long as it is a diesel engine, the performance is not enough, if you want to achieve 2,000 horsepower power, gas turbine is better.

Don't look at the shortcomings now, in the future, as long as we continue to study, the shortcomings of gas turbines will definitely be overcome, and future tanks must use gas turbines.

The Kirov plant has been studying gas turbines for many years, and finally put them into the T-80 tank, but the troops dislike the high fuel consumption of gas turbine tanks, so they commissioned the Morozov Design Bureau to develop a T-80UD tank with conventional power using 6TD diesel engines, which made them very annoyed, and now, this opportunity is good, and it is necessary to fight for the future power!

Nikolai's voice was loud: "The gas turbine can increase the power to two thousand horsepower, and also reduce the difficulty of the development of the transmission system, do you only consider the engine, take into account the transmission system?" ”

Strong power, how to transmit to the track, is a problem, the West is to take the tall hydraulic transmission system program, the Soviet Union is engaged in a simple and practical two-sided planetary gearbox program, with the power system to continue to increase, how to design the transmission system, will become a big problem.

The gas turbine has a high speed and is not easy to be suffocated, so it reduces the difficulty of the development of the transmission system.

"That's right, considering the problem of the drivetrain, we believe that the ultimate solution in the future must be the electric drivetrain." Qin Zhenhua said: "Two pillars, slides of the power-on drive system!" ”
