Chapter 668: The Problem with the Loader
This has nothing to do with the No. 2 Machine Factory, they only have to build artillery, as long as they build a good gun, they will succeed, but for the No. 1 Machine Factory, more must be considered.
Especially Qin Zhenhua, he must take into account the use of the troops, if the tanker needs to operate like this every time, the hidden danger will be greatly increased, this can not be solved through training, this is a problem brought out in the womb.
Now, the big guys are here, so Qin Zhenhua made a performance here, which is more vivid, in fact, when he completed all this, he was also deeply touched by these operations, this is torturing the loader!
At present, the tank crew is still a four-person system, in which the commander, gun commander, and driver, the labor intensity is not large, but this loader is a full physical work, of course, he needs the lowest level of technology, even if he is illiterate, he can be trained.
The domestic tanks, inherited from the Soviet tanks, are quite narrow inside, so the Soviet tankers are those who are recruited in Central Asia with a height of no more than 1.6 meters, and in China, they are basically recruited small people.
Small man, to meet the needs of the tank's low body, but at the same time, small size, strength is also small, this is not through the usual training can be trained by lifting shells, and then training, there is a limit to strength, loading 105 mm shells, it is already considered a limit, now, when it rises to 120 mm, it is really difficult.
The advantages of the 120 mm tank gun have been said, and now, since it is necessary to choose a gun for the tank in the future, it is necessary to take into account all the advantages and disadvantages.
Now, Xie Huimin is a little dissatisfied, but his dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, facts are facts, and they will not change because of his dissatisfaction.
"So, how did the West solve this problem?" After seeing Qin Zhenhua's performance, Zhang Lao first smiled, and then the expression on his face became serious, this problem was unthinkable to the Second Machine Factory, and only when the tank was loaded could we find out how serious this problem was.
How did the West solve it?
"Western tanks are solved with a large turret." Qin Zhenhua said: "The tank turret in the West is quite large, and the internal space is very good, so it can accommodate tall tankers, and the Americans even used Uncle Black as a human loader, so for them, this is not a problem." ”
When he heard the word Uncle Hei, Huang Lao couldn't help but laugh there, this Qin Zhenhua! Even if he can say witty things, it is estimated that he is the only one who dares to say this in front of Zhang Lao.
Actually, for Qin Zhenhua, this is really nothing, because, that's what the information says, foreigners are humorous, they say that the Americans' Black Uncle Meat Loader is very well introduced, and he just said it is smooth, and now that he has said it, he can't take it back.
If you look at it roughly, the turret of the new domestic tank is very similar to the Western one, with edges and corners, and some of them are similar to the turret of the Leopard-2 tank after adding a milk cover, in fact, it is just the same shape, if you look at the size, you can see it very clearly from the side, the Western turret, the tail is almost to the tail of the hull, quite huge, like a big-headed doll.
And what about the tanks of the East? The turret is very small, as if it is a small-headed father, and it doesn't look very coordinated.
This is, of course, the result of a different way of thinking.
Now, Qin Zhenhua proposed: "If we want to solve this problem, we have to build a large turret to accommodate taller tankers in this way, if they are all big men of one meter eight, then loading these dozens of catties of shells is not a problem at all." ”
"However, this is very different from the scheme used by our tanks." The old Huang above spoke.
Qin Zhenhua nodded: "Yes, the large turret represents a larger projection area, on the battlefield, it is easier to be hit by the enemy, all along, we have been following the path of the Soviet Union, and the probability of being shot is reduced through short tanks, so this will bring a big difference in the use of tanks." ”
"And for us tank factories, this means more problems." Qin Zhenhua continued: "First of all, the increase in turrets means that the weight of the tank will increase, if we replace the turret in the West, at least we will increase the weight by more than five tons, and now the forty-ton tank will increase to forty-five tons, which puts forward higher requirements for our engine and gearbox, if we use a larger engine, maybe the hull will increase, and if this continues, it will lead to a surge in the weight of the entire tank, which may exceed fifty tons." Even if we can build it, it will impose greater restrictions on all kinds of bridges in our country and so on. ”
Qin Zhenhua told all kinds of situations.
In fact, the army is a rather nostalgic branch of the army, until now, the army is still holding the cast turret, the second generation of tanks, 80 tanks have been decided, this is the tank with the cast turret, welding the turret, many people are shaking their heads.
"Even in small details, if we want to use a large turret, it means that our turret moment of inertia will be greater, and we will have more powerful turret rotary motors, which will increase the complexity of our system." Qin Zhenhua continued: "These are a series of problems that we are currently facing in design. ”
1224 tanks, 1226 tanks, all with 120 mm tank guns, and they are all manually loaded, something, when it is on paper, it is good, but when it comes to actual use, all kinds of problems are exposed.
"This problem, we can solve it with an automatic loader!" Xie Huimin said: "If the technical strength of your first machine factory is not enough, we will develop it in the second machine factory!" ”
This series of problems all revolves around reloading.
The ammunition is too heavy for the loader to hold, and the big loader needs a large turret, which in turn brings more weight, a bigger engine, and so on.
Just, let's get on the automatic loader and solve this problem once and for all, won't we?
If you refuse to do it in the first machine factory, we will solve it in the second machine factory, so you don't believe it, and this little problem can't be solved? Didn't you Qin Zhenhua always have words in the past, as long as you use your brain, you can solve the problem?
