"This is our new tractor."

Sodavar pointed to a large tractor in front of him and said to the three of them. Yesterday's wine fight didn't have a big impact on the few people who were still young. Today, the three of them visited the new products of the machine shop under the guidance of Sodavar. Forehead...... Originally, they planned to visit in the morning, but because they had a lot of fun yesterday, they could only do it in the afternoon.

Biak, who had been drinking last night, looked at the tractor in front of him, which had not yet been painted, and still shimmered with a metallic sheen, and praised. "That's good."

As the leader of the three, Herke was most concerned about the data, so he asked. "Can you ask for the data on this tractor?"

"Absolutely."

Sodavar replied and began to present the data on his tractor. "The tractor is 4.25 meters long, 1.6 meters wide and 1.7 meters high, and its body length is 3.05 meters. The power is a four-cylinder 80 horsepower horizontal diesel engine developed by Professor Diesel, I believe you are no stranger to this diesel engine. ”

"It's not new, we're all familiar with it."

Wang Chaoqiang replied to Sodavar. They only used this diesel engine to make the power of the tank last year, and of course they know the roots of this diesel engine.

"The tractor is capable of running 35 kilometers in the mountains, which is when it is fully loaded."

Herke said impartially. "Very nice product."

Biak didn't speak, but he gave a thumbs up, and the meaning was the same. Seeing the performance of the two, Sodavar was happy to show them something new.

"We're working on other products based on this tractor, do you need to take a look?"

"Of course."

Sodavar then led the three of them to another workshop, and on the way he said to them. "When we designed this tractor, we were ready to extend it to other types. For example, bulldozers, excavators, etc. are all new products developed by us based on this diesel engine. Therefore, this 80-horsepower four-cylinder horizontal diesel engine is the key to the development of our machinery factory. ”

Herke could hear what Sodavar meant, but he couldn't help but ask. "So, you're going to continue to invest in diesel engine research and development?"

"Why not?"

Sodavar turned his head and asked Helke, seeing that you Herke didn't answer, he continued. "Our cooperation with Power Lab will continue, and the only question now is the level of its sales, which will determine the amount of money we continue to invest."

Hearing Sodavar's ambitious words, the three couldn't help but think of the Volkswagen plant. With the Model T and two types of trucks, they have been dominating the European car market for many years. In recent years, a 5-ton heavy truck has been developed, if it were not for the outbreak of the war to stimulate the sales of trucks, especially the five-ton heavy truck that can drive in complex terrain. Regardless of sales, only from the perspective of research and development, Volkswagen has been doing nothing in recent years, which makes the three of them feel heavy in their hearts.

But the trio soon put their concerns about Volkswagen behind them, as they walked to another workshop and saw a tracked vehicle. This is what the three people who are now tasked with developing a new tracked combat vehicle are what they need to care about. Now it's time to take a look at the best tracked vehicle factories in the country, what can we learn from.

"This is the bulldozer we developed."

Sodavar said, pointing to the tracked bulldozer with a thick shovel head in front of him. "This is the bulldozer we developed."

Belt bulldozer is the American Benjamin Holt in 1904 successfully developed, it is in front of the crawler tractor to install the bulldozer device of manpower lifting and formed, the power at that time is the steam engine, and then successively developed by the natural gas power drive and gasoline engine driven by the crawler bulldozer, the bulldozer blade is also developed by the human power to the wire rope lifting.

And the invention of the bulldozer by Benjamin Holt brought to the attention of the director of the Bodoscu factory, who had been considering the variety of products and sales of the machine factory. He saw at a glance the role of this machinery in the construction of infrastructure, and he estimated that the market for this machinery was definitely not small, so he also asked the machinery factory to develop a model to compete with its American counterparts. This tractor is much better than Holt's own factory, first of all they replaced the steel wire fixation with steel structural rivets, which can improve its sturdiness, and also changed the power to a diesel engine.

But for the trio, these were secondary, mainly because the bulldozer was fitted with a unique suspension system. Free-standing cylindrical coil spring suspension system. The machine shop installed a free-standing cylindrical coil spring suspension system on this bulldozer, which was originally intended to prevent the tractor from shaking too much while working, and the result was the fastest bulldozer with the fastest belt. When Sodaval introduced the interesting facts about this suspension system, the trio couldn't help but want to drive it themselves.

"I'll have someone show you."

Sodawar complied with the trio's request, and he hired a test driver to let him drive around the proving ground. The three of them were stunned as they watched the speeding bulldozers running at the complex test site.

"Look at it and it doesn't slow down when it drives through the dirt pit."

One of the three, Biak, yelled at the bulldozer speeding around the proving ground, and the other two behaved like him. Don't blame the trio for such a big reaction, the main thing is that they were hurt by the suspension system of the first tank.

On the first tank they designed, the trio used the car's non-independent suspension, which was the rhythm that the members of the tank wanted to vomit. They also had no other way, and the funds given did not allow for the redesign of a suspension system, so the 37 short gun on the tank was not allowed at a distance of 300 meters. And because it is a non-independent suspension, it is easy for the tank to have various small problems while driving, which is also because it is not an independent suspension.

Now they look at an independent suspension system that could be used on tanks, how can they not be excited. And at present, it seems that this suspension system can easily meet the requirements of the military for the tank they designed. But before that, you need to ask about the reliability of Sodaval's suspension system.

Thinking of this, Herke asked about Sodavar beside him. "Is the suspension system of this car reliable?"

"So far we haven't found any problems. Why do you want to use this suspension system? ”

In the face of Sodavar's inquiry, Herke did not hesitate to say. "Yes, we would love to use it in the new tracked armored vehicle, can you tell us about this suspension system?"

"No problem."

Sodavar told Herke the main principles and data of the independent cylindrical coil spring suspension system, and Biak and Wang Chaoqiang, who stood next to him, pricked up their ears and listened attentively to Sodaval's explanation. When they heard that the principle was to convert the vertical movement of the road wheel into the expansion and contraction of the spring, and the resulting elastic deformation provided the supporting force to the car body, they couldn't help but feel admiration for the technicians of the machine factory.

Who would have thought that it was just a change of thinking, which was to make the tracked vehicle with this suspension system walk like a fly. For this reason, the three of them thought that they had come to the right place this time, and they should have come to Ploiesti a few more times if they knew it.

PS: Mom, I feel like I'm wrong with the title, so forget it and don't change it, so let's do it. ()
