Chapter 1692: Material Problems
In the face of the huge foundation, the Americans showed a strong ability to seize the opportunity, the method of tank attack, after a simple brewing, deduction, and finally became a real plan, in the initial stage, the number of tanks will be reduced to about 8000-10,000, with such a number of tanks, it is enough to launch an attack on the Juno front, as long as the other side does not have bazookas, they can arbitrarily wreak havoc on the defensive positions heavily guarded by the Japanese, except for a few large-caliber heavy artillery, most of the other weapons, For tanks, there is no impact.

The industrial production capacity of the United States, as long as the core engine of the tank, can produce the tank in place in a short period of time, and even arm, and the previous training of tankers is basically enough, but it is really not easy to transport these tanks from the hinterland of the United States, even if there are only 8,000 units, it is enough to play a role.
When the tank was just born, the mechanical problem is huge, the motor vehicle itself has just appeared, many parts are not mature, and the service life of itself can not reach the highest level, which is mostly some processing problems, it looks like a smooth surface, in fact, there are many subtle burrs or mechanical damage, even the machining ability of China, can not reach the level of later generations, we must slowly explore, increase the processing capacity and metal research continues, and strive to solve this problem.
China is a little better, the use of all-in-one machine found a lot of quenching, reduce stress, and even solve mechanical damage, but these are mostly used in military equipment, China's military tank engine, the service life is at least more than 4 times that of this civilian engine in the United States, even if it is an ordinary military vehicle, under the premise of the same horsepower, the service life of Chinese military trucks is more than 2 times that of this civilian engine imported from the United States.
Although the United States imported Chinese engines, for the overall design of the tank, there is still some overload, although the quality of China's engine is very good, overloaded operation, can still be used, but the final consequence is that the life of the engine is greatly reduced, which is also the fundamental reason for the high breakage rate in the United States, which the Americans did not find at all, in the new design, under the premise that the horsepower has not been significantly improved, but the weight of the tank, the protection capacity and firepower are up, However, the speed is reduced, which has a greater impact on the overall engine life.
Since the Americans dare to travel thousands of miles like this, they are also ready, but the failure rate of the tank still makes them a little unacceptable, the railway is good to say, all are placed on it, the tank does not move at all, but from the beginning of entering the road, there will be a failure, small problems will be quickly recovered with the help of mechanics, major problems will be replaced parts, once the engine fails, there is no need to repair at all, if the vehicle is in good condition, the engine will be replaced, among their spare parts, It carried some engine spare parts, but the number was not much, that is, about 500 units. If there are some problems with the condition of the whole vehicle, it will be directly discarded with the whole vehicle, after all, the Americans cannot produce it themselves, and the engine of this level of the tank is also the fundamental reason that restricts the number of American tanks.
The Americans are also very depressed about the core card owner, they haven't thought about imitation, patents have appeared in Europe for a long time, and even some patents have begun to gain a steady stream of benefits, such as alternating current and direct current patents, which are like Jinshan things, endlessly.
Although there are patent rights, there is a special patent office for the management of patents, but for the country, the important materials related to the fate of the country, there has never been any patents, to be a little face, change the face, do not face directly copy as it is, these abound in the history of the country, for a strong country, do everything, in the future generations are still so, in this is still in the jungle era, between countries is the naked law of the jungle under the premise, these little things are even more fine.
The shape or something, as early as when the United States could import Chinese trucks, about cylinders, combustion chambers and even spark plugs, etc., it has been copied a long time ago, but the effect of copying is not good. According to the analysis of American dynamicists for engines from China, in the past few months, when the engine entered the United States, at least 200 units were split and studied, and the monthly consumption was as high as 30 units, but the United States still spared no effort to invest, and the high price of the engine They also knew that as long as it was solved, the price of tanks and engines would drop significantly.
Through the study of China's engine, it is found that some design things will make the American engine more reasonable, the United States' own engine, horsepower has exceeded 92 horsepower, the most important thing is that the reliability and maintenance performance is very poor, but with China's 180 horsepower engine, there is a huge gap, the engine is copied as it is, every part is mapped, and finally produced, the performance and quality can not reach China's origin, and the limit barely breaks through 110 horsepower, However, the reliability cannot be compared with China at all, not even one percent, if you are lucky, you may be able to run smoothly for two or three days, and in most cases, it will not exceed 1 day, and it will break and pull the cylinder.
Kineticists have studied the problem in depth, from the layout and shape, there is no difference, machinery this kind of thing, is in front of everyone, they are almost using vernier trucks, accurate to about 0.1 mm, in this case, even if there are subtle differences, but the impact on the overall is not large, the power is almost 4 percent, reliability, only one percent, such a big difference, what is the reason.
In fact, this problem is also what American experts want to know, many engines, after a simple test, proved that the engine is original, and it was dismantled.
After all, hundreds of engines, inch by inch inspection, especially the division and destruction of the metal inspection, the final result is that the material is not good, the American material and the Chinese material has a huge difference, even if it is exactly the same shape, the final result is completely different, the Chinese side can easily resist the temperature and strength, the United States can not resist, and finally caused a decrease in horsepower and life.
It is the material, the Chinese engine, a very unique alloy, so that the Chinese engine not only has outstanding performance, but also very good quality, which is the United States is puzzled, before there were only large-caliber naval guns, armor, high requirements for materials, without enough quality materials, these finished products can not be made, but now even the engine is like this, this is something that has never been thought of before, but apart from this, there is no other reason to explain.
If the problem is found, it is possible to solve it, although the cost is a bit large, more than 200 units, more engines are needed in the future, the Americans are also very in-depth in the material, and even the new 15-inch gun is better than the British product, the reason for super industrialization makes the United States quite confident in its own materials.
However, after carefully studying these materials, the American engineers were stunned, because they found that a seemingly huge iron lump, large and small metal marks at least hundreds, and even in the continuous subdivision, the number of metal materials with different properties is still increasing.
It seems that quietly, these car power or something has also become a high-precision thing, not to mention that the Americans will integrate more than 100 different grades of metal into a complete machine, even if it is to achieve more than 100 marks of metal research, it will take a short time. According to the research of materials engineers and dynamicists, the United States will continue to study from this physical object, and wait until the finished product is born, reaching and surpassing China's power, it will take at least 5 years, which is still the premise that everything is going well, once there are some unsmooth situations, this time will be greatly extended.
5 years may not be too long for ordinary people, 4 years of college plus 1 year of internship, it is almost 5 years, but for a country, it is even more so, a hundred years will pass in a flash. But in the time of the war, everything needs to race against time, 5 years is too long, so long that the war may end, the Americans still cannot produce a qualified, usable engine, the tank is a weapon that can continue to be researched and carried forward, but the final core of this weapon is trapped in the hands of the Chinese.
China and the United States have already severed diplomatic relations, and the Americans cannot take shortcuts, and it is almost impossible to obtain the technology to produce engines from China, so in addition to investing as much money as possible and seeking a breakthrough in technology, they can only wait for a miracle to occur.
The acquisition of 30,000 tank engines from China is enough for the current war in the Americas, and as for the future dispute with China in the Pacific, it is impossible to continue regardless of victory or defeat, and it is difficult to do anything with the Pacific Ocean separated by a Pacific Ocean.
For the United States, the most critical issue now is not China, even if China is the closest place to the United States, it is only Hawaii, which is the closest to the West Coast, and it is more than 4,000 kilometers away from the mainland of the United States, or across the choppy Pacific Ocean, Japan has proved its strength with its actual combat effectiveness, and if it does not clean them up, it will be like maggots on the tarsal bones, after gaining a foothold in North America, it will continue to threaten the United States, and the United States cannot ignore such a huge direct threat. Their first task must be to solve Japan, and then consider the competition with China in the Pacific, the main force of the battle is the navy, the army, God knows whether there is a possibility of entering the war.
