Section 11 Graphene

A large number of parts of the Nine Devils Engineering Tank have been processed into 7075 aviation aluminum parts by Huameng Provincial Military Industry No. 1 Machinery Factory.

In this second step, these parts are plated with copper. The copper plating process is to use aluminum as the cathode, copper as the anode, and copper sulfate as the electrolyte. That is, the part of the tank that is plated acts as the cathode.

All parts to be plated are placed in the plating cell. The original silver aluminum tank turned into a golden copper tank in a while.

The copper-plated parts of the tank were placed in a large oven.

The oven is injected with a mixture of hydrogen and argon shielding gas, and the oven is heated to 1000 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes for surface reaction treatment.

After stopping the shielding gas injection. We started to inject carbon-based gas, this time using methane. The methane gas was kept for another 30 minutes for reaction time.

Hydrogen and argon shielding gases are then introduced to drive all the methane out of the oven.

Then slowly cool to room temperature. All copper parts are covered with a thin black graphene film.

When a group of experts faced it again, it was transformed from golden and transformed into a black-looking tank part. Every expert has no bottom in his heart.

KK beckoned to the guard sentry not far away. The sentry immediately ran over. Before the sentries could stand up and salute, KK ordered the sentries to shoot at the coated parts.

A group of experts, in order to prevent ricochet, have to hide far away.

The sentry lies down and aims at a tank part, which is a burst of fire, and all the bullets of a ** are exhausted. Then the sentry finished firing and put away his gun and stood by.

At this time, a group of experts rushed to the tank parts that were shot, and the tank parts did not have the slightest scratch. All the experts were completely petrified by the facts in front of them, and everyone had bewildered expressions on their faces.

"What's going on?"

"KK must be an alien"

The success of the graphene coating process means that a solution has been found that combines strength and lightness. Some mild materials will become extremely hard when treated with graphene nanofilms.

The first thing to consider is to treat the 98 main battle tanks as much as possible where graphene can be processed. Change the all-steel tank to 7075 aviation aluminum as much as possible.

According to preliminary calculations, the hull of the 98 tank was changed from alloy steel to No. 7075 aluminum alloy material, and the weight of the hull was reduced by at least 70%.

The density of tank alloy steel is 8 g/cm³, while the density of aluminum alloy 7075 is 2.8 g/cm³. The 51-ton 98 main battle tank, which is treated with No. 7075 aviation aluminum and graphene film, will weigh about 15 tons.

A significant reduction in the weight of the tank is in itself equivalent to a significant increase in the mobility of the tank. If you increase the output of the tank's engine, the tank's speed will fly completely.

In order to increase the output of the tank engine. The tank engine is also treated with No. 7075 aviation aluminum and graphene coating. Aviation aluminum and graphene both have extremely strong thermal conductivity, while the engine's water-cooling and air-cooling systems don't need to be improved much.

98 tank engine combustion chamber, was increased by 20%. The enlarged combustion chamber and piston are coated with graphene. The weight of the entire engine is only 30% of the original engine weight.

The output of the improved tank engine has also been increased from 883 kilowatts (1,200 horsepower) to 1,471 kilowatts (2,000 horsepower).

If converted according to this power output figure, the speed of the magic change 99 will theoretically reach an astonishing 180 km/h.

When the 99 after the magic change, if they encounter the M1A2 of Sam's country, or the leopard 2 of the Hans country, they can only follow the magic change 99 to eat ashes, and it is still the kind of person, only smelling the smell of farts and not seeing their people, and they can't even see their figures, saturated ash eating mode.

This is not called throwing off a few streets, it should be called throwing off dozens of streets.

Let's talk about fire control. The 98 main battle tank originally used a 125 mm/L50, ultra-high pressure smoothbore gun. It is possible to shoot through 2000mm homogeneous armor at a distance of 850 meters. Originally, the aggressiveness of the 98 main battle tank belonged to the top three positions in the world today.

The plan given by Magic Reform 99 is a subversive revolution. The Magic 99 was completed in one step, and the 125mm/50L was directly replaced with a 52 times body barrel and an ultra-high chamber pressure 155 smoothbore gun.

A smoothbore gun of 155 mm caliber, which belongs to long-range strike firepower. The effective firing range reached 32 km. In other words, after changing to a 155mm caliber smoothbore gun, the Mogai 99 can not only be used as a weapon for close defense and close attack, but also as a weapon for long-range suppression and strike. It is equivalent to empowering the tank with the ability of self-propelled artillery.

The Mogai 99 uses a graphene coating process on the inside of the barrel. Traditionally, gun steel is chrome-plated. Generally, after 750 firing of a barrel, the barrel will age and can no longer be used. The barrel treated with graphene, theoretically calculated, has a service life of more than 7,000 times.

Moreover, the superthermal conductivity of graphene can quickly and effectively cool down the barrel.

The artillery strike capability of the Magic 99 can turn any tank into a tofu block in today's world. Absolutely realize one shot and two eyes, through the car body.

The third goal of Magic Reform 99 is to improve protection. After the 98 main battle tank is draped with reactive armor, the frontal protection is equivalent to 1200mm homogeneous armor. The sides correspond to 700mm homogeneous armor. After the Magic 99 has completed the graphene coating treatment on the body, the front is equivalent to 12000mm homogeneous armor protection, and the side is equivalent to 11500mm homogeneous armor protection.

It's been improved tenfold or more. After all, graphene is the hardest material in the world today. It is 500 times harder than steel.

The protective power of the Magic Transformation 99 is almost a protective shield that cannot be penetrated by conventional light and heavy weapons.

Due to the addition of graphene and 7075 aviation alloy aluminum, the 98 main battle tank was completely reborn. The significance of the change is definitely not only a significant increase in mobility, aggression and protection.

The Magic Change 99 has also been changed in the shape of the car body. The hull height was reduced from 2370mm to 2020mm. The reduction of the hull height effectively reduces the bomb area of the tank. Although ordinary shells can't break the magic 99, the concussion after being hit will still make the crew uncomfortable.

The width of the car body has also been increased in the Magic 99. Increased from 3500mm to 3900mm and length from 7300mm to 7900mm. The increased length and width space mainly greatly increase the bomb load and fuel load.

The ammunition load was increased from 46 to 160 rounds. The fuel capacity was increased from 2,000 litres to 6,000 litres. With a full load of 19.8 tons, the Mogai 99 became a light tank, but it had the power of a self-propelled gun.

It's like the banduest boxer, who has the most agility and the iron fist of the heaviest fighter.

The magic change of the 99 tank is completely reborn. Magic Reform 99 has completely become a weapon of the country in the next century. Become a veritable king of land warfare.

On 10 March, four tanks had been completely transformed. Four magic 99, the car number paint are: ZTZ990001, ZTZ990002, ZTZ990005, ZTZ990007.

The cadres of the 71st Group Army came to the ordnance modification factory one after another, and looked at the domineering and mighty Magic Reform 99, and a sense of awe suddenly rose in their hearts. Everyone can feel the king's breath exuded by Magic Reform 99.

On 11 March, four Mogai 99 main battle tanks were driven into the shooting range for verification tests.

The first item of the test is the mobility test. KK chose the No. ZTZ990005 car and took control of it himself.

The first is the mobility test and the tolerance test. The amount of diesel fuel in the car allows 8 hours of running wildly. At a speed of 180 kilometers per hour, it is 1,440 kilometers in eight hours.

The four cars started almost at the same time, and the horsepower was high. Four vehicles advanced at high speed for all-terrain testing. Ditches and slopes, ponds and swamps, nothing at all. The four Magic Reform 99 were galloping, and the smoke and dust covered the sky.

After a day of testing, the data on mobility, flexibility, assault, adaptability and tolerance were all excellent.

On March 12, it was the fire control ability test.

First a static strike test is conducted, followed by an inward strike test. The targets are all 1000mm homogeneous armor alloy steel. Distances range from 2 km, 4 km, 6 km... up to 30 km. The 155mm 52-fold smoothbore cannon pierces a piece of target steel with one shot.

Almost all the targets of the attack, in front of the magic reform 99, completely turned into a piece of paper and a piece of tofu.

The final test data is all excellent, and the magic change is 99 powerful!

On March 13, protective testing began.

In this test, 10 Type 98 main battle tanks were invited to participate in the live-fire strike test of the 99 magic tank.

The shooting began at 2 km, with four Type 98 tanks and four 125mm smoothbore guns aiming at a 99 Magic Modified Tank parked at the range.

Considering that this was the first live-fire strike, the Magic 99 did not have a crew.

"Knock, knock, knock, knock" four cannon sounds. Four 98 tanks, one after another, fired from the front, back, left and right, and in four directions.

I saw that the magic change 99, every time a shell was shot, the reactive armor of the hull would explode to cancel out the impact of the artillery. At the same time, you can also see the shaking of the body of the Magic 99.

After the first round of four live ammunition strikes, the on-site evaluators quickly conducted a flaw detection assessment of the Mokai 99.

As you can see, the impact point of hitting the reactive armor did not cause any damage to the hull except for the reactive armor that exploded.

And from the side blow, the impact point of the tank track, except for some blackened marks, the tank track, there is no damage.

The graphene thin film coating, which has 500 times the hardness of steel, provides enough protection for the Magic 99 tank. Technology is hard power.
