Tonight is the 1999 Lunar New Year, and it is also an epoch-making milestone for the 71st Group Army. After tonight, the Dragon Country Type 99 main battle tank, the king of land warfare, in the 71st Group Army, officially verified the success of the test!

At tonight's celebration party, Chief Master Zhu, who usually does not drink alcohol, also held a cup of "August 1st Spear Table".

"Everyone, please be quiet, I will tell you two things. First of all, on behalf of the Longguo Science and Technology Commission and the General Armament Department, I announced: The Type 98 main battle tank, the actual combat data of the Lingmu project, fully meets the design requirements, and the acceptance has been passed. The tank division of the 71st Group Army, which allowed full access to the upgrade and modification of the Lingmu system. The cost of modification has been issued by the Central Military Commission. ”

As soon as Chief Zhu finished speaking, all the officers and men began to applaud and shout, venting their inner excitement.

Master Zhu made everyone happy for a while, then made a quiet gesture and continued:

"The second thing is to report to the Central Military Commission and the State Commission of Science and Technology for the Lingmu Research Group, and apply for meritorious service commendation for the members of the Lingmu Research Group, especially for Comrade KK."

As soon as the chief teacher finished learning, the scene erupted in applause and cheers.

Next, Master Zhou announced the official start of the celebration banquet.

"Great!"

"Our 71st Group Army has to try it in advance"

Everyone applauded enthusiastically and shouted loudly.

"Treating me as a comrade, does that mean I'm going to join the army?"

KK held the nutrient solution specially provided for him, and his brain spun rapidly.

Commander Wang Haifeng, Political Commissar Zhao Kunshan, Division Commander Liu Ming and Chief Zhu of the 71st Group Army came to KK together. Commander Wang spoke first

"Our big hero, our little hero, on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the 71st Group Army, I would like to thank you for your outstanding contribution to the national defense of the Dragon Country. It's you who empower the king of land warfare with technology! Let's have a drink. ”

KK does not have a word of nonsense. Pick up the nutrient solution on the table.

"!"

An old man and a young man toasted together and drank it all.

"Master" KK said to Chief Master Zhu:

"Although we have verified the feasibility of the spiritual vision system. However, the Lingmu system relies on the chip of Intel, which has potential security risks, and we dare not let the data link be shared between cars, because once we transmit data through the network, it is easy for Intel to steal our data from the back door of the chip. We can only use the stand-alone version now. Moreover, once Sam Nation discovers our spiritual eye system, will it jam our necks on the chip? Next, the Type 71 tanks of the 98 Group Army, the chips needed for the magic change, are very large. Six on a car, and if you change it entirely, it will cost thousands. ”

"Yes, it's still the key link to drop the chain. We must have our own loongson! ”

"Master, the development of our chips is important, and now, the most urgent thing is to purchase a batch of chips before Sam Country has not implemented the Batumi Agreement and blockades us."

A week later, the commendation orders of the Military Commission and the Science and Technology Commission came down. Due to the requirement of confidentiality, the award and commendation meeting could only be held quietly in the combat conference room of the 71st Group Army.

There is no suspense, I wish the chief teacher and KK each to be recorded as a first-class meritorious service. The Lingmu research group was awarded the collective first-class merit once.

KK was also specially recruited by the army, and he was exceptionally given military status and was awarded the rank of captain.

Of course, the news of KK's joining the army is also highly confidential. The reason for this is that the country has deeper strategic considerations for KK.

At the same time that the Lingmu research group received the award for meritorious service, Longguo secretly purchased more than 20,000 32-bit tone chips through Lianxiang Computer Company.

The Armored Division of the 71st Group Army began to magically transform all Type 98 main battle tanks, and the integrated system of hunting and watching and fighting.

At the time of the magic reform of the armored division of the 71st Group Army, the 961001 Research Institute formulated a number of educational growth plans for KK. However, each plan is not perfect enough to achieve the unity of opinion of the expert group.

On the contrary, KK's approach to taking topics as a growth route is refreshing to the experts at the institute. Vice President Ding decided to take the project topic as the development direction, focus on KK's research topic, and make every effort to allocate human resources and equipment resources, so that KK can grow in research and progress in application.

With Chief Engineer Zhu, Vice President Ding and KK as the leadership core, the Type 98 main battle tank magic reform team was established. The project was codenamed "Nine Devils Project".

As soon as the project was approved, the code of the project team flew in all directions, and experts and scholars in various fields related to tanks, as well as military industry experts, gathered at the 961001 Research Institute in the hinterland of the 71st Group Army.

The core of the Nine Demons Project is to improve the tank's power, protection and attack power on the basis of the integration of Lingmu and Fighting. Let the 99 main battle tank run fast, hit accurately, and resist.

The so-called hoist power is to increase the output power of the engine, and the other is to reduce the weight of the tank. If it is replaced with a higher power engine, it will inevitably increase the weight of the tank. Moreover, the high-power engine cannot be developed for a while, and the transformation of the engine is a systematic project.

Increasing protection, or increasing the thickness of homogeneous armor on the sides. Or add a reactive armor module. At present, there is no room for more in the Type 98 reactive armor. Increasing the thickness of homogeneous armor will inevitably increase the weight of the tank. It is equivalent to increasing the protection force, which reduces the mobility. This is clearly a pair of contradictions.

To increase the attack power, it is necessary to increase the length of the barrel, and the increase in length will also increase the weight of the tank, affecting the mobility. At present, the 125-mm smoothbore gun is considered the largest caliber tank gun in the world.

A series of contradictory indicators that make it difficult to choose and balance. These problems have also been plaguing military experts in various countries.

KK doesn't want to be bogged down by these stereotypes. He wants to think outside the box and find a solution once and for all.

If you can find a lighter material, you can reduce the weight of the tank, which is indirectly equivalent to improving the mobility of the tank. If this lightweight material is harder than the current tank, then the protection of the tank will also be greatly improved.

If this hard material becomes the inner coating of the tank barrel, it can increase the chamber pressure of the barrel, and the increase of chamber pressure can increase the charge of the shell, which in turn increases the flight distance of the shell.

A series of questions all point to the intersection of a new material, a new coating, or an invention.

KK's head is like opening a skylight, which is what everyone calls a brain hole.

After dinner, KK went to the fitness center for a half-hour swim, but his brain kept thinking about the problem of new materials.

Near half past nine, KK returned to his bedroom, began to meditate on the bed, and entered the state of meditation and study again.

Minute by minute, minute after minute, KK's consciousness became more and more blurred, more and more detached from the constraints of this world.

In the middle of the sky, a celestial body made of graphite slammed into another planet at a rapid pace. KK's head is playing out a picture of celestial bodies colliding. Under the impact of high temperature and high speed, graphite is instantly transformed into an extremely hard substance.

Planar two-dimensional structure, single layer of carbon atoms, hexagonal arrangement, lattice-like graphene. This graphene material is very thin, very light, but 500 times stronger than steel. Graphene is also extremely resistant to corrosion and thermal.

KK's brain has gained an extremely important word, graphene.

In today's world, it is impossible for celestial bodies to collide and not have so much energy to convert carbon into graphene. This requires a process that we can do to produce graphene.

KK's mind once again traverses a curved space and comes to a square that resembles a metal copper sheet paving. The temperature around the roasting reaches more than 1,000 degrees. Then, another stream of carbon-based gas drifted in, and thirty minutes later, a gust of wind blew the excess carbon-based gas away...

KK looked at his feet again, and the ground in the square had been completely covered with graphene film...

Finally, KK's sparkling eyes opened again.

KK has broken through a new material thinking box.

Without a moment's delay, kk ran to the computer by the wall, ten fingers flying, writing the project plan, process flow, material list of the Nine Devils Project...

At nine o'clock in the morning, KK convened the first project report meeting of the "Nine Magic Project". Vice President Ding, Chief Master Zhu, and dozens of experts in related fields were all present.

KK spent nearly two hours explaining the content of the Nine Demons Project. All the experts, including Vice President Ding and Chief Master Zhu, felt in a cloud. The content in the KK program subverted all their knowledge accumulation and cognition.

The participants all agreed that either KK was an alien or everyone was dreaming.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. This is an irrefutable fact.

"Why don't we do the experiments according to KK?"

"If this approach works, the Dragon Nation tank will be at least 30 years ahead of the world's tanks"

In private, there was a lot of discussion.

"Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now we are stepping forward from the beginning, do it first and then say" I wish the chief teacher a final word.

"Okay, I'll assign the material task," KK said, holding the bill of materials.

"No. 7075 aviation aluminum 100 tons, who does this task belong to?"

"I'll solve this," replied an expert from Xifei who raised his hand.

"98 tank engineering mold, who will solve it?"

"I'll come here," replied the military representative of the first machine in Huameng Province with a raised hand.

Each piece of work is quickly arranged, and one piece of work is quickly picked.

On March 1, the work required by KK has been implemented one by one. The rest of this big dish is up to KK himself.
