——————

Half an hour later, Li Lan and Natasha, who had already changed into a set of clothes, came to the combat laboratory located on the right side of the base.

The combat laboratory, Li Lan built it after he was upgraded to advanced authority, but he rarely came here, and when he came to the training center next to it, he often went in.

It's not that he doesn't care about the scientific research progress of the base, but when he enters it, just like Grandma Liu who enters the Grand View Garden, he can't understand anything. And those old scholars like to pull him to talk about their scientific research ideas and views, and expect him to allocate a little more scientific research funds. The words that flow out of the mouth are technical terms, and various experimental results are summarized and reported.

Anyway, as soon as he entered, he was surrounded by scientists, and all kinds of bombardments were in his ears. In the face of these scientists who are like old children, Li Lan is also not easy to use in the form of orders, and it is not easy to pour cold water on them. This also led to the fact that after coming a few times, Li Lan reduced the itinerary he came.

However, as long as there are certain achievements, Li Lan will come in a hurry, and he will be happy as long as there is progress in military or civilian science and technology.

The combat laboratory is a square building with a length and width of 200 meters, which is very similar to the castle building type in ancient Europe.

This is the core of the base's future scientific and technological research and development, and it is also one of the important factors in the upgrading of the base's weapons and equipment. The spy may have weapons and materials sent here. The wreckage of the Raptor fighter had already been transported to the underground weapons research center of the combat laboratory. A large number of weapons science and technology researchers are gathering to study it.

There are also quite a few scientific researchers in the design and development of naval weapons, who have already brought bedding and washing items to the naval base. Intended to be stationed there for a long time, the American Seawolf-class submarine USS Carter. It has become their biggest excitement.

Today, Li Lan walked into the combat laboratory, not to see these scientists, but to see their achievements.

After more than a year of continuous investment, he has purchased some experimental materials from China and Russia for these people to continue to squander, and if he doesn't get some results, Li Lan will have to supervise it well.

Four heavily armed guards, two third-level elite-level military dogs, guarded the gates of the combat laboratory. There are also a series of covert defenses at the gate to prevent cars from crashing in. At the door, there are even four large jacks, which will be jacked up even if the Apocalypse Tank comes over.

Except for Li Lan, no matter who else is, they have to go through a detailed examination, and under the watchful eyes of the guards, they will undergo pupil scans and fingerprint recognition. Mission weapons are not allowed. There are layers of inspection agencies to prevent all sources of danger.

Li Lan is naturally unimpeded, but in order to lead by example, he comes over every time. It's all about consciously completing these steps.

Today, though, things seemed to be a little different, as he was about to stand in front of the pupil scanning device. The guard then spoke: "Report to the commander, the scientists of the third scientific research laboratory have just left the army. They inform the guardhouse if you come. Please go directly to the testing site. ”

"Hey!" Li Lan muttered and turned to leave, and Natasha smiled slightly behind her and followed.

Half an hour later, Li Lan's special car came to the test site west of Bagua City near the naval port. Under the leadership of the guards at the test site, the special car was parked on an open grass, and in the distance, several people in white coats were directing a group of soldiers, busy in the test site.

The car was parked next to the experimental site, and after Li Lan got out of the car, he walked straight over, and Natasha helped him hold up his umbrella.

"How's it going?" Coming behind this group of people, Li Lan spoke.

"Oh, Commander, you're here." An old man with messy hair who has obviously not rested for many days, with a long beard and that line, he really has a bit of Zhou Botong's charm.

"We have prepared all the targets for the experiment, and we have specially obtained them from the army...... Oh no, it was borrowed two tanks to cooperate with our experiments. ”

When Li Lan walked over, he saw an Apocalypse Tank and a Rhino Tank parked on the side, both of which were already covered with external armor.

"One Apocalypse and one Rhinoceros, it seems that you have a lot of confidence in this experiment!" Li Lan automatically ignored the other party's slip of the tongue.

"No, it's not just these two things, but this little guy?" The old pedant pointed to the terrifying robot hiding in the grass and said.

Following the old pedant's fingers, Li Lan found that a terrifying robot was lying in the grass, half of its body was hidden in the dirt, its big head just hidden by the grass greenery around it, and its two electronic eyes were gurgling around.

"Say it! What is the content of the experiment? Li Lan said.

"This time we have developed a new composite armor that can increase the protection of the main battle tank by 20%. Especially against the weakest top and tail parts of the tank, there is a fairly decent protection boost. However, this is also difficult, because the artillery armor-piercing laboratory has also come up with a new tank shell with a high initial fire, and we have to try our new armor. This one, just come to the test field and experiment with real means. The old pedant danced with his hands, but still didn't scratch his hair, and looked a little excited.

"Here we go again!" Li Lan muttered in her heart, these scientists, the best thing is to compare, and they are showing off their respective research projects all day long, but Li Lan is almost used to it, "Then let's start!" I'd also appreciate your work. ”

Directly in front of the test site, there is an observation deck, which is just right to take the whole test site into your eyes.

By the time Li Lan came to the observation deck, the experimenters below were almost ready.

"Commander, let's get started."

"Then don't waste time."

Li Lan waved her hand, signaling that the experiment could begin.

Soon, at the test site, both tanks roared at the same time, and at a distance of 800 meters, 1,200 meters, 1,600 meters, and 2,000 and 3,000 meters away, four fixed homogeneous steel plates were placed.

"The thickness of the first two steel plates is 800 millimeters and 1,200 millimeters respectively, representing the defensive capabilities of the front armor of the Rhino tank and the Apocalypse tank, and the third and fourth steel plates are our newly developed composite materials, which are produced based on the armor of the Apocalypse Tank."

"The shells used in the two tanks are the latest armor-piercing shells, which will first attack ordinary homogeneous steel plates to test the power of the armor-piercing shells, and then the Apocalypse tanks will then test the protective power of the new armor, first use the existing armor-piercing shells, and then replace them with the latest armor-piercing shells."

Listening to the introduction of the staff, Li Lan also began to look forward to it.

With a wave of the flag that the experiment could begin, the two tanks began to hum, and the turrets turned, aiming at the steel plate at a distance of eight hundred meters. Immediately after that, the body shook, and the earth seemed to sway, and the body of the tank seemed to sink a little. The barrel of the cannon flickered, the flames erupted, and the shells were discharged at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, as if they had hit a target eight hundred meters away in an instant, which was much faster than the blink of an eye.

"Bang!" A dull sound came out, and a shot from the Apocalypse Tank instantly submerged the steel plate eight hundred meters away by an explosion.

When the smoke of gunpowder quickly dispersed under the rain, Li Lan couldn't wait to pick up the telescope and take a look, the originally smooth homogeneous steel plate, with a thickness of one meter and two, had already appeared a huge crater, which directly pierced through the heart. And the entire steel plate is as if it has been absorbed by a black hole, and the four sides are squeezed towards the middle, forming a huge concave. Although Li Lan couldn't see the other half of the scene, he could completely simulate a huge steel plate, which was directly beaten into an iron funnel with one shot.

"Good!" Li Lan was very satisfied with the attack power of the Apocalypse Tank, although the distance of 800 meters was the strongest killing range of the Apocalypse Tank, but it was able to directly break a steel plate with a thickness of one meter and two into a colander, which showed the armor-piercing power and impact power of the tank shell.

Li Lan's cheers did not stop the experiment, and this time it was the turn of the Rhino Tank to exert its might. Whether it is the sound or the power of the explosion, the rhinoceros naturally cannot be compared to the apocalypse. But after accurately hitting the target, Li Lan also saw the same picture. The 800-millimeter-thick steel plate was no better than the previous one, and the flat surface was distorted instead, and a hole in the middle pierced through the armor, leaving a jet-black slate of impact.

"It is worthy of being able to kill the T-72 and T-82 rhinoceros, which is really extraordinary."

Although Li Lan is very aware that in the environment of modern warfare, it is difficult for tanks to have a one-on-one duel, but he is naturally very happy to see that his weapons and equipment can be shown to be powerful.

The world is inherently unfair, and there is a huge gap between countries and between rich countries, and rich countries will not have less equipment just because weapons and equipment are expensive. In terms of tactics, don't think that only you can come up with surprising winning tactics, in this information age, there will not be the same tactics that can win two wars, how many can you come up with? Wars between major powers are compared to national strength, and there is no time to be opportunistic.

However, Li Lan attaches more importance to the informatization of tanks than firepower and protection. Because in modern warfare it is impossible to see two tanks going head-to-head there.

The experiment continued, and although the two tanks differed a lot in size and tonnage, they showed little difference in striking capabilities in the face of different targets.

Below two thousand meters, the Rhino Tank and the Apocalypse Tank have been illuminated as direct penetrating damage to these targets. At two thousand meters, the armor-piercing ability of the Apocalypse tank is still strong, and the target is penetrated without suspense, and it is still 1,200 millimeters thick. The performance of the Rhino tank against targets at a range of 2,000 meters is not as good as that at close range, and although it also penetrates the steel plate, the lethality it shows begins to be reduced.
