Chapter 742: Arms Boss

Zimbabwe is sanctioned by the United Nations, and military supplies are desperately scarce, and there is only one arms dealer who dares to defy the sky. Therefore, Mugabe, who cherished this "friend" to the fullest, asked Turai: "Do you have tanks?" ”

Wanki * armed in the construction of the feared 62. 5-ton main battle tank, Mugabe was scared. Now Zimbabwe has only a very small number of Type 96 tanks imported from the Chinese Federation, which is a generation behind the other side and only more than 40 tons.

Thurai: "Are you a challenger who is afraid of BAE?" Rest assured, as long as you buy our tanks, the other side will definitely lose. I'll need a little time, though. ”

After a few days, Li Xiantai finally figured it out.

The Soviet Union, a traditional tank power, never dared to build a super-heavy tank, and even the latest Amata was only 48 tons. It turned out that the infrastructure of the USSR was not well developed, and it was too heavy to crush the highway bridges.

No matter how bad the infrastructure of the Soviet Union was, it would always be a little better than Zimbabwe, so Li Xiantai felt that Saberii would definitely run into big problems in mobility if it adopted the design of the original Challenger as it was.

How to solve this problem? Lee found the answer from the Japanese Army. The weight of the Japanese Type 90 tank reached 50. 2 tons, as a result can only be deployed in Hokkaido, and most of the road bridges that are also impassable through them.

So the latest generation of Japan is the Type 10, starting at 40 tons, and with armor that can be combined, it can be transformed into 44 tons and 48 tons. It's a great idea.

In order to follow 62. The 5-ton Challenger tank decisive battle, Li Xiantai's own design also uses modular armor, and the maximum armor is also 60 tons, which is not too different from the Challenger tank, and then a tow box can be towed on the march.

With a standard weight of 40 tons, the tow box can tow 20 tons of armor modules, and before the decisive battle on the plains, the armor in the tow box will be automatically assembled to the tank with the help of the motor, so you can't miss anything!

The trailer can also be used as an armored personnel carrier in peacetime, transporting more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers at a time.

The Japanese Type 10 tank also has a unique skill that can fire while doing an S-shaped maneuver. This is a flashy martial art, because the terrain on the ground is undulating, and once you do an S-shaped maneuver, the bumps in the body of the car can allow the soldier to spit out E. coli.

But...... In Li Xiantai's hands, he can turn waste into treasure, he will invent a super shock-absorbing seat, with a balance perception suppression helmet, which can inhibit the balance perception ability of the hard-pressed tank crew when doing S-shaped maneuvers, and greatly improve the combat comfort.

The saturation attack of the missile maniac is really terrible, for the great Zimbabwean national independence war, Xiantaijun is really exhausted, he is ready to find a way to cheaply improve the anti-reconnaissance capability of the tank, according to the terrain of Zimbabwe with a 3D printer to print out several kinds of camouflage nets.

This camouflage net is ejected from the top of the turret with compressed air, allowing the tank to blend in with the ambient color for a second. It's also silky smooth, won't get attached to objects like the main gun, machine gun, etc., and can be automatically recycled in a matter of seconds.

As soon as these design concepts were announced to Mugabe, the presidential cabinet was immediately quite satisfied. If the whole vehicle is imported, Li Xiantai will pay 7 million US dollars, but he knows that the people of Zimbabwe are living a tight life, and they can use various mines and land labor to deduct it, and the production in Zimbabwe will be reduced to 2 million at most.

This variable-armoured tank has a common name: the Spotted Lion, an extinct African beast of great beauty.

Zimbabwe, of course, does not have the capacity to conduct weapons tests, and in fact the Greek company Pyrkar undertakes the testing of various designs, and here Li Xiantai has already pushed a very high-end test factory reads();;.

It is also illegal for the British BAE company to secretly deliver the materials of the production line to the Wanji area, and it is not certain who can build the production line faster than Li Xian's strong design ability.

While developing tanks, Li Xiantai was thinking about how to break the restrictions of the embargo. In the end, I came up with a trick to invest in Shimoyo, Mozambique, Zimbabwe's neighbor, which is less than 100 kilometers away from Umtali in Zimbabwe, making smuggling convenient.

Shimoyu is only 200 kilometers from the port, where Li Xiantai can use submarines to transport contraband.

There is a version of the trimaran designed by Li Xiantai that can be submerged with magnetofluid propulsion technology, and it does not need to dive too deep, and it is OK if it is unlikely to be detected by surface patrol boats at 100 meters.

This trimaran is also an established product of the Pyrcar company, which has long been under development, and Li Xiantai has accelerated the research and development progress of the "stowaway" submarine, striving to build it together with the tank production line, and then transport the machinery and equipment from Greece to there to complete the support for Zimbabwe's great national cause.

In order to develop an advanced aero engine, Li Xiantai got an F35 Pratt & Whitney engine, which has a vector spout and gas after turning on the case 11. 467:1 Terrible thrust-to-weight monsters.

Li Xiantai mainly looked at how it set various parameters, and then used his unparalleled enchantment imagination to design a better metamorphosis engine.

The scientific setting of parameters is the basis for compiling digital simulation programs, and with this guy, Li Xiantai can use his own additive manufacturing process to create structures that are so complex that they are too complex. Ordinary additive manufacturing is fragile, but Li Xian has unique heat treatment and annealing capabilities.

The workpiece that has been annealed by Lee's is even higher than the performance of the guy who grinds it out. He can first create the shape by laser ablation powder, and then pour the molten titanium alloy liquid into the cavity, slowly, without cavities.

When the high-temperature titanium alloy has not yet completely cooled, the hardness of the alloy is called a swan song by using an ice-cold inert liquid to make the alloy shrink to the limit.

The test results found that the thrust-to-weight ratio of the improved engine reached 8:1 when the gas was not turned on, and the same thrust mass as the F35 engine was lighter, and a world-leading heart was born.

With this good thing, no matter what fighter Piercar withdraws, it will attract the attention of international arms purchasers.

Whether it is the Soviet T50, the Chinese J-20, the Japanese mentality, and the South Korean KF-X, these fifth-generation fighters are all subject to the performance of the engine.

Piercar extended an olive branch to these countries, saying that their engines could be adapted to their fighter jets, and that there was no need for design changes that had already been made.

Generally speaking, the mature design of a fighter is to consider the engine first and then adapt to all kinds of structures, radars, large and small bomb magazines, fuel tanks and so on, the engine provided by Piercar is really the conscience of the industry, and it instantly attracted the attention of the air forces and navies of various countries, to see the extraordinary achievements of the Greeks.

Damn, the price of this engine is 20 million dollars, which is really profitable.

Of course, this is the price of buying one, and you can get a discount if you have more.

In addition to this fetish, which stood on the top of the fighter, Piercar also gave the visiting military friends a subversive plan for vertical take-off and landing fighters.

What does it mean to be the first to be stronger? In the seizure of air supremacy, the first party to blow up the opponent's airfield, but the opponent's plane cannot take off, so the vertical take-off and landing aircraft play a key role at this timereads();.

However, aircraft like the British Sea Harrier F35B had to put a huge fan in the cockpit for this need, and the engine was a little worse than that. What is even more unbearable is that the Sea Harrier fighter and F35B with vertical take-off cannot take off with a full load, either with a little less fuel or a little less ammunition.

Because the combat capability of vertical take-off and landing aircraft is significantly lower than that of ordinary aircraft, the technical difficulty is not small, and only the United States and Britain have succeeded in doing it, and the Soviets have also done it, but they have failed because adding one more engine is easy to cause exhaust gas reflux.

Piercar claims that its solution is the perfect solution to this contradiction.

It turned out that they built a quadrotor take-off platform, and first drove the fighter plane onto the quadcopter platform and stopped steadily. The powerful quadcopter platform will take the fighter into the air until it is fast and high enough for the fighter to fly solo, and then the platform will return to continue the operation.

With only such a set of equipment, ordinary fighters can solve the dilemma of not being able to take off from scratch, and if they prepare a few more pings, their ability to resist strikes will be even stronger.

This perverted powerful rotor is an electric motor capable of lifting an aircraft weighing up to 40 tons and sending it to flight speed. Even a heavy fighter like the F22 takes off with a full load, and the F15 is even more trivial.

It uses supercapacitors made of two-dimensional materials as a power source, and can take off 10 fully loaded F15s in a row with a charging time of 30 seconds.

Selling price: $20 million.

Piercar stressed that with it, all warplanes can take off on any merchant ship with enough space for warships, increasing the air force and naval strength of various countries several times.

Piercar said to the Argentines with a smile: "Hehe, back then, your advanced land-based planes just couldn't take off from the small airfield on the Falklands that had been occupied, if we had this thing, maybe the Falklands and its surrounding rich oil and gas resources would be your Argentines!" ”

The intention of sowing discord is beyond words.

The Greeks did not have an F15, and they performed a vertical take-off of a fully loaded F16, which was amazed by the buyers of the air forces and navies of various countries.

The British were most shocked by this flexible solution, and the purchasing rep gave a thumbs up: "Hang." ”

Their Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers had a fatal flaw, catapults were not installed, and large AWACS aircraft could not take off. If you have this product, at least the E2 can take off, and the E3 may be able to fly even if you lose weight.

Whether it is Northrop Grumman, which is good at building carrier-based aircraft, or Lockheed Martin, the owner of the F35, they all feel a deep chill.

The biggest buyer of the engine was India, which was interested in customizing an engine for 6 million yuan for Piercar to power their flawed Tejas fighter. The number of contracts is 72 for a total price of 4. $3.2 billion.

The Federal Republic of China ordered three engines to test fly their J-20 for a total contract price of $60 million.

Japan and Korea each ordered an engine for test flights for their fifth-generation aircraft for $20 million each.

The number of patented VTOLS is 20 units, and the number is likely to grow, with a large wave of potential buyers coming to hear the news. The total contract price for the day was $400 million.

In this large-scale arms delivery, the total revenue of the Piercar company reached 900 million, which is almost the same as the income of Israel, a major arms country, last year.
