Chapter 428: Redefining the Standard of American Tanks (Part II)

Just as Lieutenant Colonel Wharton predicted, the exposition of design ideas is just a general outline of Professor Colin's "video open class" on the technical standards of the new generation of American tanks, and if you want to completely grasp the hearts of those bigwigs in the US military and political circles who are about to watch this set of video materials, it is obviously not enough to rely on this little illusory concept, but also to have specific performance indicators.

Therefore, the focus of Professor Colin's next talk is on the three core technical indicators of tank mobility, firepower and protection, not to mention the mobility ability, the Americans can be said to be unique in the world in the field of engines, so in this regard, Colin only slightly kicked the benefits of diesel engines and revealed them.

Instead, the focus is on firepower and protection, as Chrysler and GM are the two core metrics that Chrysler will not be able to win anyway without a landslide victory in these two.

Professor Colin is also anxious to reach the customer, after a professional and breakthrough opening outline, he changed the conversation and continued: "There are many people who assert that the biggest threat to tank armor targets in the next ten years is armor-piercing shells, yes, the high-temperature metal jets in armor-piercing shells are the natural nemesis of homogeneous armor, so that they can easily break through homogeneous armor like a hot knife cutting butter.

Therefore, many people think that the traditional cast alloy steel cast turret is outdated, because they simply cannot withstand the blow of armor-piercing shells in future wars, so it really needs to be so troublesome to invest more money and spend more energy to explore a new material that can resist armor-piercing shells? ”

Colin made an exaggerated shrug in front of the film camera, then turned sideways, exposed the wreckage of Tank 117 behind him to the camera again, and then pointed to the black scrap metal and continued: "This new Chinese tank tells us with real battlefield performance that it is actually very simple to solve the armor-piercing crisis, oh, dear Lieutenant Colonel Wharton, please bring me that toolbox." ”

In fact, without waiting for Colin's beckoning, Lieutenant Colonel Wharton brought a simple toolbox to Colleen, Colin opened the toolbox, took out a screwdriver from it, and walked to Tank 117, looked at a piece of additional armor on the side, which was still intact, and without saying a word, unscrewed the four bolts that were fixed.

Immediately turned on the cutting machine that had been prepared, and cut off a good piece of additional armor in response, revealing the cross-section of the rubber and steel plate intertwined inside, and then pointed at the camera and explained: "Their method is to use special rubber and armor steel to form two multi-layer sections with different densities, as we all know, when the high-speed heat flow penetrates the material of different densities, the drastic blocking change will form a strong cutting effect, resulting in the jet scattering effect, so as to achieve the protective effect of the armor-piercing projectile."

This armor applied this theory very well, and successfully resisted multiple rounds of armor-piercing shells in actual combat, if it had not been destroyed by two armor-piercing shells hitting an additional armor at the same time, I believe that this tank would have broken through our blockade and returned to their camp like the rest of its companions, all in all, this additional armor is the most shining technical highlight of this tank. ”

Listening to Colin's words, Wharton on the side couldn't help nodding secretly, if it is said that the artillery two-way stabilization system, infrared night vision device and tank gun smoking device, because there are already more advanced models in the United States, Professor Colin, who is above the top, is a little disdainful;

Then Wharton has reason to believe that the layer of chocolate-like additional armor covered by the No. 117 tank, even Colin has to put away his arrogant arrogance, because in the tank battle that took place on the south bank of the Imjin River, Wharton, even if he did not personally experience it, but after looking at the wreckage of the battlefield, he was sincerely amazed by the superior protection of the improved T-34 tank.

Therefore, Wharton did not believe that Colin could not see the value of those additional armor, and this was one of the reasons why he suggested that Chrysler should use the No. 117 tank for himself, if Chrysler could operate this matter well, it would be able to get the closest technical information to actual combat, so as to be invincible in the competition with GM.

Obviously, Professor Colin was well aware of his and Chrysler's top management, and although the opening remarks were a bit lengthy, the focus of the additional armor was highlighted, and this video recording was half the battle.

However, just when Lieutenant Colonel Wharton was glad that Professor Colin was still on the right track and everything was under control, Colin, who had gradually found the feeling of being photogenic, was completely let go, and in a word, Lieutenant Colonel Wharton, who breathed a sigh of relief, raised his heart to his throat again: "But there are bright spots in the technology of this armor, but there are bright spots, but ...... The designer who made this armor is really disgusting, there are so many special rubbers, what is not good, I have to fill it with family planning supplies, I really don't know if there is a problem with the designer's technical level, or because of his bad taste......"

Hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Wharton almost didn't vomit three liters of blood in the sky, if it was all about it, the key was that Colin was fortunate enough to take out a ball of milky white rubber materials inside, and pulled it with two hands, so he almost didn't bring it himself to try two pounds.

To tell the truth, this is where the film camera is filming, and Lieutenant Colonel Wharton is not good at attacking, otherwise he would have rushed up with an arrow step a long time ago, first slapped Colin a few times, and then put on a milky white rubber substance himself, and told the goods with practical actions that this thing can not only prevent metal jets, but also block human jets!

But Colonel Wharton was still mad with anger, but just as he was about to come forward and tell Professor Colin that he had no professional ethics about the remaining 100,000 dollars.

Seeing that Colin threw away the milky white rubber substance in his hand in disgust, he immediately said with a happy face: "Fortunately, our American tank designers have an incomparably rigorous scientific spirit and an unattainable sense of responsibility, so the additional armor they designed will not use this kind of dirty family planning supplies at all, but a new type of special rubber specially designed for tanks."

In the armored laboratory of the Detroit Tank Factory, additional armor filled with new special rubber has undergone extremely rigorous tests, but unfortunately for various reasons, the production of this armor has reached some obstacles, but it is undeniable that in the field of additional armor, we in the United States are not lagging behind any country in the world......"

Lieutenant Colonel Wharton, who was thundering, suddenly heard these words, and instantly stopped talking and did not speak, and the whole person was even more stunned, and said in his heart, when did we have some additional armor in the United States......
