Chapter 713: Expectation
Jiang Tian is very professional, although he is not from a military major, but starting from scratch, he started with the Datang military industry, and Jiang Tian, who has progressed, undoubtedly has a huge say in the chariot industry.
During this period, Li Chengguang just kept asking and listening, even if he expressed his own opinions, he also asked in the way of discussion, and when he got Jiang Tian's answer, Li Chengguang would not delve into these questions.
The two chatted happily for almost half an hour, chatting about the new tank from the inside out.
And it was only at this time that Li Chengguang really understood why this chariot appeared.
Why did they have the ability to make a vehicle with a larger size, safer armor defense, and a larger caliber of artillery, but still chose this seemingly weak vehicle, which is not the best in all aspects?
The reason is simple, the environment of use, the situation of enemy troops.
These two points alone are enough to determine the status of the tank in front of you.
The total weight of the new tank is 12,700 catties, which is 6.35 tons, which is almost the limit.
No matter how heavy it is, the current cement highway bridge can be supported, but the problem is that the military use environment is not always on the cement road.
And this weight is exactly a certain distance from the maximum load of the pontoon bridge of 8 tons, counting the weight of the members and ammunition, just enough to make it pass the pontoon bridge safely.
This is the point, you can't build a more awesome tank, when you meet a river, you will be confused, that is the biggest embarrassment, what is the use of this iron tool?
Another enemy situation, the previous generation of tanks have been able to be invincible on the battlefield, although the new generation of tanks is slower, but still enough, the two generations of tanks are mixed together, forming a fast and a slow, a commando, a firepower attack team, can form a playful match.
And Li Chengguang also learned an unknown news, at present, Jiang Tian and they have mastered the relevant technology of the enhanced version of the combat vehicle, and this related technology is to increase the thickness of the armor, increase the weight of the combat vehicle itself, and then increase the caliber of the artillery to improve the attack power of the combat vehicle, but this problem is back to the original point, and the traffic situation does not allow it.
However, so far, these two generations of tanks are completely sufficient, so Jiang Tian's next plan is not to study new tanks.
The first is to wait for the steam unit to come up with a new powerful machine, so as to replace the current one, so as to improve the power performance of the vehicle.
On the other, they intend to make all-round improvements to this combat vehicle.
It is on the basis of the original of this vehicle that the handling performance has been improved, so that the handling of this vehicle can be better than the current one.
Next they will mainly PR the rotation of the turret, at present the turret rotation is a big problem, the left and right rotation needs to be manually shaken by the loader, although the principle of lever is used, but it is still very difficult to operate, an ordinary person, the strength is not too great, and the turret will be tired and panting when it turns around.
And Jiang Tian will only maneuver two times at most, and if he has more, his arm will not be his own.
Adjusting the barrel up and down is a bit less labor-saving, but it is only relatively labor-saving.
And this kind of performance is obviously a burden for the battle, and now this situation is easy to say, but it will inevitably delay some fighters, but once there is artillery and other equipment on the opposite side that can directly destroy the combat vehicle, their performance is not enough.
Li Chengguang wanted to continue the discussion, but the problem was very embarrassing, and he didn't understand these things, so he didn't have the capital to continue the discussion, and the matter had to be stopped.
The factory in Zhengzhou will take about two years before it can be put into production, so for Jiang Tian and them, there is still time to go, so there is no need to be too anxious.
Of course, with Datang's current ability, if you concentrate your efforts, a machinery factory can be completed in less than half a year, but personnel are the key points.
And these are technical personnel, it takes a lot of time to train, even if the other two factories can support, but the support will not be too strong, or they need to solve the problem themselves.
So it will take more time, but this is also normal, when there are more and more factories in the later stage, the number of professional talents will also increase, and at that time a new factory will be built, and it will be enough for each factory to transfer some people to the past, so it will not be as troublesome as now.
……
After returning from the test site, Li Chengguang made a special visit to the camp of the forbidden army and personally watched the drill of the forbidden army's armored units.
For this torrent of steel, Li Chengguang is still a little afraid in his heart, although this is the power of the Tang Dynasty, but he has already seen what kind of scene the flesh and blood will look like when resisting this torrent of steel?
No one can stop it, absolutely nothing.
Over the years, the development of Datang has been too fast, every day has a new look, every day is writing a new history, and every day is the most glorious day of the Chinese nation.
Such a country will be handed over to his own hands in the future, and Li Chengguang is also under pressure at the moment.
Yes, pressure.
There's excitement, there's excitement, but more of it is stress.
He knew that he would not be able to take Datang to the present without any means, his own thoughts, his own consciousness, was still too far behind his father, this is not something unseemly, this is a fact.
The current Datang has shocked everyone, no one knows what Datang will look like tomorrow, everyone is crazy about learning, crazy to replenish nutrients.
I went to meet Xiao Yu, who had just retired for less than a year, but when chatting, Xiao Yu kept lamenting that she was outdated and couldn't keep up with the footsteps of Datang.
Although the imperial court has deliberately slowed down in recent years, hoping to give everyone more time to adapt, get used to, and learn, the shock still exists.
Time passes day by day, and the twelfth year of Shenyuan is also about to come to an end, ushering in a new thirteenth year of Shenyuan, a thirteenth year of Shenyuan that no one knows what it will look like.
And for the Zhengdan court, everyone is looking forward to it.
Li Yuanji has already ordered that the results of the past year should be announced at the Zhengdan court meeting.
It is no longer a formal report as before, but it is necessary to come up with detailed data as a support.
This is the first time that the imperial court has announced these things in such a delicate manner, and it is no longer the same as before, how good the form this year is, how much harvest and other unnutritious good news.
And Li Chengguang is also waiting and looking forward to it.
