The use of electronic chips on the tank, has been more and more, when the gearbox towards the hydraulic automatic transmission, also began to use a special microcomputer control, even if the driver's hand still retains the manual operating lever, but in the normal operation, there is no need for human intervention, the four forward gears can be automatically selected, the driver only needs to step on the accelerator, step on the brakes these simple actions can be.

This kind of electronic control system, of course, needs chips to support, and there is still a blank in China in this regard, but with the development of Wang Xiaoqiang's chip design, the corresponding chips will be manufactured.

After all, if you say that the mechanical device can also be surveyed and mapped and imitated according to the scoop gourd, in the research of the chip, you really can't survey and map the imitation, you don't know what the structure inside the small chip looks like, so it is easy for people to get stuck in themselves.

Now, everyone has concerns about the gearbox, after all, it is someone else's thing, and when it is used, there will be all kinds of accidents, but no one thought that the changes would come very quickly, so that when the second prototype was produced, it had to stop and make major changes to the tail engine compartment of this tank.

"By the way, you went to Lao Ba this time and officially signed the agreement on the Khalid tank, how about it, is it difficult?" Zhu Lao asked.

Because he is dedicated to the third generation of tanks, Zhu Lao has rarely cared about the various projects of the first engine factory anymore, and now he asks about the Khalid tank, also because of the design indicators of this tank? It is also aimed at the third generation of tanks, so if a machine factory wants to engage in this tank? Is it also a third-generation tank? And the 123 tank in front of your own eyes? We can learn from each other.

With the technical strength of a machine factory, there should be some problems in engaging in this kind of third-generation tank? So? While Zhu Lao was here, he wanted to see if there was anything he could do to help.

"The biggest problem is the engine." Qin Zhenhua said: "What we prepared before was a 1,000-horsepower engine scheme? As a result, Lao Ba had to ask for 1,200 horsepower? Say that's a hard indicator of a third-generation tank? And? They also want engines that are already mature at the moment. ”

This should be the biggest variable in the Khalid tank project? As for the gearbox? Although it is also used in LSG3000, but because it is used by Lao Ba, it is not used by its own side, so even if the Germans have opinions in the future? Don't provide it to yourself? Won't you get stuck in the old bus? After all, Lao Pakistan has a better relationship with the West.

Hear this request? Zhu Lao also frowned and said, "So, you plan to use British engines?" ”

Qin Zhenhua's speech at the airport? It should have spread, so now, Zhu Lao thinks that Qin Zhenhua's words are talking about using British CV12 diesel engines.

The first URL

Qin Zhenhua shook his head: "That's just an alternative, well, it's used to fish Kaizi, and our main recommendation is the MTU396 engine." ”

"What?" Hearing this, Zhu Lao also frowned: "That engine is very large, you want to use this kind of engine and install it on the tank?" ”

"Yes, our domestic, mature, enough power, except for the 396 diesel engine, there is nothing else, I am now, is to imagine that the supercharger of this engine can be changed, so as to reduce the volume, can be done, that's all, in short, make it first, the old bus is urging tight, our goal is to build a prototype car for them at the end of the year. It will be tested next year, and it will be exported the year after next. ”

Although this time is a bit tight, but at present, the first machine factory has a lot of experience, they have been able to design and manufacture their own second-generation tanks and continue to improve, and now the third-generation tanks are also off the assembly line, so such a goal can also be achieved.

After all, for foreign trade projects, time is the most important, once the time drags on for too long, the project is prone to problems, the last time I went to Lao Ba, Qin Zhenhua also saw that there was a lot of opposition to this project.

Hurry up to make it, test it and put it into production, so that you don't have to be afraid of anything anymore when the raw rice is cooked and matured.

Zhu Lao nodded.

The fatigue of the journey did not let Qin Zhenhua rest, in front of the prototype of this third-generation tank, Qin Zhenhua stayed for several hours, and only went home in the middle of the night, and the next morning, he came to the workshop again.

At this time, the 123 tank prototype has been ready for the off-line ceremony, the front of the body, tied with a big red flower, just along the V-shaped wave shield, looks very foreign, this wave shield, like two blinking eyebrows, two headlights, is the small eyes under the eyebrows.

People kept gathering, and Zhu Lao stood next to the tank and introduced himself to the people who came from the capital.

Qin Zhenhua also saw more and more old faces, Huang Lao, Qin Lao and others, after hearing about it, they all deliberately put aside their work and came over in the dust.

"After decades, we are finally looking forward to the third generation of tanks produced by ourselves." Huang Lao said with emotion: "On the world tank rankings, our tanks will not only be in the top three, but also become the first in the future." ”

Hearing that the big guys are talking about the world tank rankings, Qin Zhenhua's heart also has a special taste, that ranking still stimulates many people, after all, everyone wants to have the world's advanced first-class tanks!

"That's right, if anyone dares to laugh at the tanks of our eastern powers in the future, then let him pull them out and compare them with our tanks!" Qin Lao was also very excited on the side: "Pull it to our He Rizhu base to compare and see how many brushes they have, hmph, I don't believe they can compare to our tanks." ”

"This kind of tank must be equipped with our ace army first."

Everyone is appreciating this tank, and as for the reason, the hearts of all present are also clear.

It's been a lot of repression.

At that time, on the northern border, the Soviets had millions of soldiers, and they could fight at any time, but at that time they could only use 59 tanks, and the tank guns could not destroy the opponent's tanks from the front, and the protective power could not block the armor-piercing shells fired by the opponent, and the tank troops were ready to pay huge sacrifices.

Later, with 69 tanks, 79 tanks, self-developed smoothbore guns and introduced rifled guns, it finally gave a reassurance in terms of firepower and was able to penetrate the enemy's tanks from the front.

However, mobility, protection, is still far from perfect.

The most advanced tank that the troops are now equipped with is the Type 80 tank, but it has been replaced with a chassis with six pairs of load-bearing wheels, and its mobility is slightly better, and there is still not much progress in other aspects.

The 88 tank, which is still being tested, is not equipped with troops, and now, the third generation of tanks has been born, so to speak, the second generation of tanks, the third generation of tanks, finally considered to be complete.

In the future, there will be no need to charge with the determination to die, and there will be no need to tragically use the tactics of dying with the enemy. Thinking of these changes, almost everyone present was embarrassed.
