Qin Zhenhua will not be carried away by any joy, he is very self-aware, and he can clearly recognize the current situation at any time.

Now there is an export intention, but this does not mean that it will be successful, after all, the weapons of those countries are mainly made in the United States.

What will be the attitude of the Americans? Will they watch this fat get into their mouths? The helplessness on Ibrahim's face at that time already showed how much the Americans had a say in them.

So, we have to be prepared, what do we rely on? It depends on excellent strength.

With a 45-mm gun of 155 times caliber, it is just in terms of firepower, however, for a self-propelled gun, it is not enough to have fierce firepower.

M109, just a rough model, there are still different suffixes at the back, and there are different suffixes, which are also very different.

From A1 to A4, there is not much change, and when it comes to A5, it is equipped with a new 39 times caliber howitzer, as well as the engine, etc., which is considered to have been greatly improved, and now, when it is upgraded to the A6 model, the focus is on improving the electronic system.

In addition to the addition of a semi-automatic ammunition loading system to increase the sustained rate of fire, it is equipped with an advanced automatic fire control system, a global positioning/navigation system system, a single-frequency ground-to-air radio system, and an artillery automatic fire control system. Therefore, this improvement is mainly an upgrade of the electronic system.

In the past, artillery could not fight independently, and must be combined with the superior shooting command vehicle to fight, but this A6 model can directly obtain the shooting command from the single-frequency ground-to-air radio system, and the shooting control system quickly calculates the shooting parameters, and then automatically adjusts the gun pitch angle and firing angle, and completes the shooting independently, and the time can be controlled to within one minute.

These are the latest technical standards of the M109A6, of course, they are still being improved, and these projects have not been completed, and they also need to be improved according to this standard, so that when the Americans push out their howitzers, they can continue to maintain superiority or level in various technologies, and will not fall behind.

Now, hearing Qin Zhenhua say so much, Xie Huimin feels that his head is about to explode, these things, I'm afraid we can't handle them!

Especially what kind of global positioning system, now there is no one in China at all!

"Zhenhua, these follow-up improvements you mentioned, we're afraid we don't have the strength." Xie Huimin said with a frown.

"With the development of technology, the trend of electronicization and informatization will definitely come, and if we don't start doing it now, then it will be outdated in the future." Qin Zhenhua said: "If the times want to abandon us, they will not greet us, only by constantly working hard can we catch up." My plan is to set up a special department to be responsible for the development of these projects. ”

Xie Huimin nodded: "Of course you can, we believe in you." ”

It's that easy? Qin Zhenhua is a little strange, I want to take all your profits, and you just agreed?

"Follow you Qin Zhenhua, then we will have meat to eat." Xie Huimin said: "Our second machine factory has figured it out, the more investment now, the more returns in the future, the big deal, let's tighten our belts, we will have a good life in the future, how to do it, it will be up to you." ”

This kind of blind trust made Qin Zhenhua also moved, Xie Huimin has said this level, what about himself? What else can I say? Go ahead.

Vehicle electronic technology must be developed, after all, this trend in the West has begun to become more and more obvious, especially the global positioning system, once used, it has huge benefits. Especially for the military, the benefits are even greater.

It's a pity that those satellites are all American.

"Then let's just say it, the matter of modification, we will do it in the first machine factory, and your second machine factory is mainly making artillery, I suggest that you can continue to develop 155 mm guns."

Continuing to develop?

Xie Huimin was a little confused again, Qin Zhenhua's thinking has always been higher than others, and others can't keep up with it many times.

What was he thinking?

"Continue to increase the multiplier." Qin Zhenhua said: "Now it is 45 times the diameter, has reflected the overwhelming advantage of 39 times the diameter, we can win the favor of foreign customers, but also because of the advantage of range, we want to continue to develop this advantage, you two machine factory, try to improve the process, if you can make 52 times the diameter, it is estimated that the range can be greatly improved." ”

In China, there is an unusual obsession in lengthening the barrel, taking its own 105 mm tank gun as an example, in order to circumvent export restrictions, the barrel was increased once, and then, in order to improve the firepower, the length of the barrel was increased again.

The cannonball is fired by the propellant, when the cannonball is fired, you can see the flames burning at the muzzle, in fact, those are wasted firing energy, if you want to continue to use this energy, that is, to continue to increase the length of the barrel.

Tank artillery is like this, howitzers are naturally like this, Qin Zhenhua suggested that they raise it to 52 times the caliber, although it is only a personal suggestion, but it is in line with the thinking of the domestic army.

After all, the current 155-mm howitzer, the army has not shown recognition, and if you want to be recognized by the army, you have to continue to improve, so that the army has nothing to say, let them rush over and ask for it.

"Also, regarding our bomb supply vehicle, please also ask a machine factory to take the lead." Xie Huimin continued.

At this international defense exhibition, the 155-mm gun was out of the limelight, and at that time, in the introduction, there was a supporting bomb supply vehicle, which was also an innovation.

It's just that this thing hasn't been skimmed yet, and if you want to combine it with your own self-propelled howitzer, there are more difficulties, and these projects are simply handed over to a machine factory to do a good job.

Leave professional projects to professional people.

Qin Zhenhua shook his head helplessly: "Uncle Xie, you are going to be the shopkeeper." ”

"Of course not, this should be called a strong combination." Xie Huimin said: "We all have our own strengths, in order to be able to win the first opportunity in international exports, we are in the country, we should engage in strong alliances, it is said that the superiors also have this meaning, Zhenhua, you have a machine factory to live, but also have to think about everyone." At least, our second machine factory is definitely not lagging behind. ”
