The 80 tank, that is, the 1223 experimental prototype, uses the 730 horsepower diesel engine of the Coal Provincial Diesel Engine Factory, and the 1224 experimental prototype uses a 1,000-horsepower civilian diesel engine imported from Germany.

"Change to a 331 diesel engine? That's not going to work. Zhao Guodong shook his head: "A tank phalanx, at least nine tanks, 331 diesel engines have only been imported in total, and two have been given to the engine institute, we are simply not enough to count, besides, with this diesel engine, the body behind the tank has to be enlarged, and it is not 80 tanks." ”

Since it is to be displayed at the military parade, it is necessary to be a real stereotyped equipment of the troops, the diesel engine of the Germans, the test effect is very good, but, after all, it is only a small number of imported tests, since the domestic surveying and mapping imitation project has failed, it is impossible to use this diesel engine.

"Not the diesel engines of the Germans, but our own." Qin Zhenhua said: "A diesel engine with 730 horsepower is not enough, but if the power is increased to 800 horsepower, it will be more than enough. ”

This diesel engine, which is owned by the Coal Provincial Diesel Engine Plant, has now been able to work stably to 730 horsepower, and after the introduction of the T-72 tank, the study of the 780 horsepower diesel engine above can draw a conclusion that it is possible to increase the power of this engine to 800 horsepower.

After the power is increased, the reserve power is more sufficient, and the black smoke will naturally be reduced.

Hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Zhao Guodong frowned: "What you said, it is even more unreliable, the finalization of an engine takes a long time, and we don't have enough time to improve the test." If there is a problem with the engine, it will be a big problem, and when the time comes, not only you, but also me, will not be able to bear this responsibility. ”

Motivation is easier said than done, and a small problem that is not well thought out can have serious consequences.

Pull a hair and move the whole body, Zhao Guodong knows.

The plan proposed by Qin Zhenhua is very ideal, the engine is basically the same, the engine compartment is the same, and the engine can still be easily stuffed in, but can this engine work stably? You can't see the fire control system in the parade, you can't see the armor protection, what you can see is actually mobility, if you drop the chain there, it will be a serious bad accident!

"The 1,000-horsepower engine has been running stably now, and besides, the Coal Province Diesel Engine Factory has already started to engage in this 800-horsepower diesel engine, so we are confident." Qin Zhenhua said: "When there is pressure, there will be motivation and change. ”

Looking at the development of weapons, in peacetime, the development is very slow, but war, but it can greatly promote the development of weapons, take the Second World War as an example, the war brought about the progress in weapons, in peacetime, it takes hundreds of years!

When there is pressure, there will be motivation!

Now, there are still two years to go before that day, and these two years are enough, and Qin Zhenhua has this confidence.

This is also an opportunity, and before the Panther diesel engine matures, if the 80 tank can use an 800 horsepower engine, it will also be a big upgrade.

Who doesn't want to have a better power reserve for their tank?

"That's right, you can try, if it's done, it's on, if it doesn't, then it's not on." Luo Ronggen said: "Anyway, this matter has not yet been decided, and if there is an 800-horsepower diesel engine, it will be successfully developed under this pressure, which is also good news for our army." ”

As a result, the participation of 80 tanks in the parade became a goal within a machine plant, continuing to promote various tests of tanks, improving problems in all aspects, and at the same time, developing an eight-hundred-horsepower diesel engine!

Although the arrival of this sudden event caught people off guard, it did not disrupt the work rhythm of a machine factory, what to do, what to continue to do, everyone is in their own positions, conscientious, serious and careful, that is enough. The construction of the automobile branch plant has not been delayed, and is still steadily advancing.

The 10,000-ton hydraulic press is also being formed step by step, and when the three beams are processed, the difficulty of the four columns is placed in front of us.

Three beams and four columns form the general framework of the 10,000-ton hydraulic press, and these four columns are also a difficulty, each of which is 18 meters high and weighs nearly 100 tons.

There is no way to cast such a big guy directly, so it can only be a section and then welded.

This puts forward new requirements.

"We have two ways of thinking." Elite soldiers gathered, speaking of welding, of course, it was Lu Feng, at this time, he was proposing his own design plan.

"One is the way to set up chopsticks." Lu Feng said: "We think of a column as a combination of chopsticks tied together. Welded into it one by one, and finally form a thick enough column, however, this scheme welding operation is very difficult, the other is the bamboo type, vertical, layer by layer welding, this way, need to burn through the entire welding surface, it is not easy, in short, two ways, each has its own difficulty, it depends on what kind of scheme we choose. ”

If you can't pour and form at one time, you have to weld, so the segmented parts depend on whether they are split vertically or horizontally.

Now, Lu Feng was introducing the big guys, and a voice came from outside: "Where is Assistant Qin?" We want to see Assistant Qin! ”

The voice is very loud, it is the same people who came to the Ice City Factory last time.

"No, there's a meeting going on inside, you people, are you unreasonable?"

Now it is in the newly built automobile branch, the wall of this factory has not yet been completed, if it was another branch of the first machine factory, these people would have been stopped at the gate.

"We have an urgent matter, a hundred thousand urgent! The stakes are high! Don't stop me, boy, you can't afford it! Wang Ding's voice sounded.

This person should be an old load-bearing, right? Why are you so anxious?

Qin Zhenhua was a little amused, and said to the people around him: "Since it is a brother factory, please invite them in." ”

Wang Ding strode in and said to Qin Zhenhua, "Assistant Qin, we need your help!" As long as you help us with this, in the future, if you plagiarize our 321 chassis, it will be written off. ”
