Dig down the three-meter-three foundation and reserve the construction space for the underground civil air defense consensus. Although Li Quanbin told Li Lu with his rich experience in building houses by the sea that there was no need to dig such a deep foundation, let alone build a total of 22 load-bearing columns, Li Lu still demanded it.

For a production workshop with a total height of 12 meters, a length of 100 meters, and a width of 33 meters, 22 stout reinforced concrete structural load-bearing columns with a cross-sectional area of 80 centimeters by 80 centimeters are enough to support a high-rise building with more than a dozen floors.

Li Quanbin didn't know what Li Lu thought, since the employer asked for this, then do it, he believed that more than half of the construction cost of this production workshop would be smashed on the foundation and the 22 load-bearing columns.

Strictly speaking, Li Lu should hire a geology-related business department to test the location of the building to prove that the soil conditions are suitable for the construction of the factory. It's just that Li Lu knows a lot about the big wasteland where the Red Star Tractor Factory is located, and the geological conditions are very strong, so he can save this step.

In the absence of construction machinery, more than a dozen workers, several of whom have experience in building large reservoirs, are busy, and the small geological problems that Li Lu worries about will be dealt with casually.

At such a large cost to build foundations and load-bearing columns, Li Lu took into account the typhoon. This is the south side of the western section of the harbor, if the typhoon lands from the front of the inland port city, half of the factory will face the typhoon, and the unstable foundation will have considerable hidden dangers.

The dry port is a typhoon-prone area, with long summers, thunderstorms, and strong gusts, and the waterfront plant has to consider these factors.

In addition to the production workshop, the leveling of the site, the layout of water and electricity, the direction of the commuter road, including the renovation of the wharf, are all put in the back. Li Lu's most urgent request is that the Red Star Tractor Factory cannot exist on paper for a long time, it must at least be a factory that can be seen and touched and does have a production workshop.

Li Lu explained to Li Yaohua the aspects that needed to be paid attention to, and then hurriedly drove back to Guangming Factory. He is the translator of the project team, and at present, he is the only one who can communicate with Wade unhindered, and in his absence, the work of the project team will undoubtedly be affected.

The Asian Tiger project is a key plan, and the importance of the project is unprecedented for Guangming Factory and Li Lu himself.

A tiger that dies in another time and space must not die in this time and space again.

Because of the refusal of the US side to provide a 120-mm smoothbore gun, Li Lu has thought a lot about it in the past two days. For the current Wehrmacht, the main battle tank developed by the integration of advanced technology is not the best choice, for the simple reason - there is no money to buy it.

What the Wehrmacht needs most at present is a high-cost tank that is mature and reliable and can equip the troops in large quantities.

The Asian Tiger equipped with a 105-mm rifled gun is mainly aimed at foreign trade, and the model used by the Wehrmacht itself, at the technical level, is bound to be lower than the foreign trade model, or for that reason - there is no money to buy it. Even with new tanks of the same level, perhaps there will not be too many of them.

The whole environment is like this, even if Li Lu has the ability, he can't change the status quo in a short time. The main task at the present stage is to first strengthen its own strength, and only then can we have the capital to talk about the revitalization of the national military industry.

With the attention of the top management, the technical team of Chrysler Defense Company immediately began specific research work on the second day after arriving at the Guangming plant. Pei Lei had made full preparations in advance, and some of the preliminary research work had already been done, just waiting for the people from Kleist Defense Company to be in place. Therefore, the preliminary work was carried out smoothly.

The factory learned that Li Lu was very proficient in English, and asked him to officially serve as Wade's translator, so Li Lu was able to access the core technical information and related information of the project team. This is a great opportunity for him. Niu Jun mainly follows Pei Lei to ensure that Pei Lei and Kleist's team can communicate well.

Zheng Dongyun has been following the project team, and the chief steward of the entire factory office naturally wants to send people to follow the project team and coordinate and solve things other than technology at any time. The factory has issued a dead order, and the requirements of the project team must be met unconditionally, and if necessary, they can be implemented first and then go through the procedures. With the green light and privileges, the status of Zheng Dongyun, who is specifically responsible for this matter, has also risen.

At least before the departure of the foreign technical team, he was definitely the most powerful person in the factory office except for the director and deputy director.

He intentionally or unintentionally leaned to Pei Lei's side, and it was also in line with Pei Lei to follow Pei Lei, Pei Lei was the technical leader of the Chinese side of the project team, but his purpose was not on Pei Lei, but on Niu Jun.

When he saw Niu Jun for the first time yesterday, Zheng Dongyun was shocked, and his heart was beating very much. Such a woman is worthy of me Zheng Dongyun.

Niu Jun felt Zheng Dongyun's ill intentions, she carefully avoided it, in front of these foreign experts and the leaders of the Guangming Factory, she was not good at losing her temper, but remembering Zheng Dongyun's disgusting face last night, and then looking at his flattering smile now, Niu Jun felt more and more that he couldn't control his temper.

In desperation, he could only take the next step and avoid it.

Li Lu accompanied Wade around each group, and only occasionally bumped into Pei Lei's side, so he didn't notice that Zheng Dongyun was sticking to Niu Jun like a fly.

At this time, Wade turned to the power team and discussed the power system with the technicians on both sides, and Li Lu made a fast and accurate translation for his own technicians in a timely manner, which directly made one of the technicians who knew English useless.

Li Lu thought while translating, and only after Wade walked away, did he find an opportunity to say to Wade, "Mr. Wade, I just noticed that the final weight of the Asian Tiger tank may exceed 40 tons, don't you think that the current 8V-92TA 8-cylinder diesel engine of Detroit Diesel Engine Company can only provide 560 kilowatts of power, and the unit power is less than 15 kilowatts per ton. I don't think it's appropriate for such a drive. ”

The Type 59 medium tank weighed 34 tons and used a 12150L1 diesel engine from Plant 616, which could provide 520 kilowatts of power.

One kilowatt is about 1.35 horsepower, and 560 kilowatts is 756 horsepower. In other words, the 8V-92TA 8-cylinder diesel engine produced by the Detroit Diesel Engine Company supplied by Chrysler Defense is only 56 horsepower more than the 12150L1 diesel engine used by the 59. This little improvement is simply negligible.

What kind of tank is the Asian Tiger tank?

It is based on the chassis of the 59 tank, lengthened and stretched, retains the suspension system, increases the seeker, replaces it with a heavier 105 mm gun, the turret determines the prismatic design instead of the Soviet-style turtle shell, the armor has also been strengthened, and the weight of the car has soared to forty tons at once, and I believe that by the final use version, the weight of the car will definitely exceed forty tons.

In such a situation, the diesel engine used provided only 40 kilowatts more horsepower than the 59 tank, so you can imagine how bad the power will be. The unit power barely reached 14 kilowatts per ton.

The unit power of the world's mainstream main battle tanks has reached the level of more than 17 kilowatts per ton, and some have even reached the level of 20 kilowatts per ton. Indicators that represent maneuverability, even if there is a gap, cannot be so different.

You can't work so hard and spend so much foreign exchange to get what you get from old things that people have eliminated for many years - don't think that the US is cooperating for free, that is to charge high fees!

Wade said with some embarrassment, "Road, which diesel engine to use, to be honest, we don't have the right to decide." You know, it's not just about technical cooperation. ”

Under contact, Li Lu felt that Wade still had the pure characteristics of a technical official, not a slippery administrative official, so Li Lu basically believed what he said.

Li Ludao, "But you have the right to suggest." Mr. Wade, I believe that the Asian Tiger will be equipped with many national troops in the future, and the standard 105 mm caliber artillery has already explained a lot of problems. The purpose of the Asian Tiger tank is to provide many countries with a main tank that can be used until the 21st century, in this case, the backward power system is completely inconsistent with the original intention of the project. ”

Wade pondered for a while and asked, "Lu, is this what you mean, or is this what the Bright Factory means?" ”

Li Lu said with a smile, "I'm just a security guard, just a personal opinion, and it doesn't represent the Guangming Factory." ”

Walking outside, Wade said, "Lu, I'm not happy with the Asian Tiger's power standards either." If the bright factory can come up with an opinion, I can ask the company's top management to replace the diesel engine with higher horsepower. ”

Li Lu grinned happily, "I think Mr. Pei Lei will officially submit his opinions in this regard soon." ”

Pei Lei didn't mention it, it wasn't him Li Lu who had the final say, after all, Pei Lei was basically obedient to him now.
