One hundred and eighty-four. Torrent of money
What agreement did the Dawen Empire and the Europa Empire reach, Li Rujin didn't have the heart to care, since the Great Dynasty Meeting, Li Rujin had been devoted to the research institute, and the tanks of the Europa Empire gave Li Rujin a relatively large stimulus.

After nearly a month of research, Li Rujin and his team finally overcame all kinds of difficulties, successfully solved the power transmission problem of the tank, solved the heat dissipation problem of the tank engine, and the noise problem still exists, but the flaws are not hidden.
In mid-May, the weather was already quite hot, but there was still a hint of cool air in the morning and evening, and in a military camp on the outskirts of the imperial capital, with the roar of the engine, the new generation of tanks of the Dawen Empire finally took the first step.
The tank smoothly drove out of the bunker and drove to the test site, which was about 20 acres long, and a large number of obstacles were set up in the field to imitate the natural terrain and the battlefield, including soil slopes, trenches, small rivers, bomb craters, and so on.
The tank went up the dirt slope smoothly, crossed the trench, and basically passed all obstacles, and passed the first simple test. The tank drove into the edge of the test site, and the driver and crew began to report how they felt during the ride.
No matter how powerful or delicate your design is, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how delicate your design is, and it is not suitable for human use, then your new weapon will fail, because the weapon still has to be operated by people.
Therefore, Li Rujin attaches great importance to the human-computer interaction between the weapon and the user. A comfortable environment still has a very good effect on improving the combat effectiveness of combatants. Of course, this comfort is only limited, and the conditions are there.
Engineers quickly stepped forward and began to inspect the tank, and later on to test the complex environment and live fire.
The engineer's inspection is reassuring, the tank's indicators are still excellent, at this time the staff on the side began to transport shells to the tank, the shells tested this time are only ordinary shells, and armor-piercing shells, incendiary bombs and other special shells are no longer within the scope of this test.
The roar of the engine sounded again, the tank went to the first test target, off-road climbing, as a result, failed, the tank did not go uphill smoothly, and the engineers quickly rushed to the scene to find out the cause.
The reason was found out, the turning angle was too small, the tank did not accelerate enough, so the thirty-degree dirt slope could not go uphill smoothly, the first problem appeared, write down. The tank reversed and started over.
This time the driver paid attention, the tank came to a big bend, the acceleration was sufficient, the thirty-degree slope was successfully crossed, the next level was a muddy swampy terrain, and the tank also passed smoothly, but in the process of passing, there was a slippage of the tracks, write down.
The complex environment test revealed a number of problems, but fortunately there were no major failures and problems, and the tank returned to the starting point, this time with a live-fire test.
There are also two crucial points to pay attention to in the live firing of tanks, first, the problem of hit rate, which goes without saying, everyone knows very well. Second, the problem of parking and firing time, that is, from the time the tank stops, aims, shoots, and starts the tank again. This is extremely important for the tank itself.
After all, the tank is driving on the battlefield, and when you stop to shoot, your target is in danger, but you are also in crisis, and it is not easy to hit a moving tank.
During World War II, not many tanks were hit while on the move, and most of them were hit by tanks outside the target when they stopped to shoot. So the shorter the time the tank stops to shoot, the safer the tank itself is.
Of course, this shooting time can be shortened with a lot of practice. This test focused more on the problem of the tank's hit rate. Basically, they are all shooting in a relatively ideal state.
The tank starts, quickly drives to the firing position, a sudden brake, the body shakes back and forth for a while, and then the tank stops steadily, the turret rotates rapidly, and there are two ways to drive the turret to rotate, one is electric drive, the other is hand drive, the large angle of rotation is mainly electric, and the small angle is mainly hand crank.
The long barrel gradually aimed at the target with the rotation of the turret, and the shooter adjusted the firing angle of the barrel, calmly pulled down the string of the gun, and the shell whistled and flew towards the target, but unfortunately, it did not hit.
The loader quickly reloaded, fired a second shot, lived up to expectations, and hit the target. The tank quickly started and drove to the next firing point. There were a total of 10 targets in this live firing.
The shooting results came out, and the starting hit rate was only 30%, which was a bit disappointing, and in the actual war, a good tank shooter was able to hit more than 90% in the first shot, but these can be gradually improved in future training.
And the shooting time is long, on average, a stop shot takes about three minutes, in the real battlefield, three minutes of stop shooting, enough for you to die several round-trips.
In fact, there are objective reasons for such a low hit rate and a long stop and firing time, first, this is the first live firing of the new tank. Second, the operators of the tank are not too familiar with the tank, and the cooperation between the members is not very smooth.
To sum up, it is not surprising that the results of this live firing were not satisfactory.
But judging from the overall test results, the test was satisfactory, the whole test lasted for two hours, the tank's indicators performed excellently, and the engine was trouble-free.
There are still small problems and problems, which can be solved with a little improvement, and there is no major problem to the tank as a whole.
After the test, Li Rujin and his colleagues held a meeting on the spot with the recorded problems, and then assigned the problems to solve each problem.
The test will be repeated after three days. Then Li Rujin drove home, not daring not to return, Li Rujin's mother gave a death order, in the imperial capital, if you don't go home for dinner at noon, when you go home again, you will be served by the family law.
In the afternoon, Li Rujin was just about to rush back to the test site, when a phone call dragged him to the palace, and the emperor looked for him.
When he arrived at the palace, the emperor took him to a courtyard outside the palace, and it turned out that the old emperor wanted to see him.
The old emperor is less than sixty, and his spirit is not bad, this time I saw Li Rujin because the tanks of the Europa Empire put too much pressure on the Dawen Empire, and the old emperor was anxious, so he talked to Li Rujin about what the Dawen Empire should do to get out of the predicament.
In fact, there is a more important reason, the old emperor is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Dawen Imperial Bank, he has a huge amount of money in his hands, and now that the crisis of the empire is imminent, it is time to let this money play a role.
The biggest crisis of the empire does not come from Europa, but from its own problems, the economic development has not improved much, and it is limited by transportation problems, and neither the flow of people nor logistics can really circulate.
Without an efficient, high-speed flow of goods, the economic development of the Dawen Empire could only be limited to the development of one place. If the transportation problem is not solved, the economy of the Dawen Empire is running with shackles, and it will not be able to speed up at all, let alone take off.
Without the take-off of the economy, there will not be enough funds to invest in science and technology, and if science and technology do not develop, it will not be able to drive the development of the economy.
