With such a strangeness, Yang Yuanzhao went directly to the tank research and development center after entering the research base, he came to Durhan on the one hand to celebrate the birth of the new Jeep, on the other hand, he also wanted to see what happened to this tank, why in his opinion, everything that should be solved has been solved, there will still be problems, how long will it take to appear prototype car.

The tank room, compared to all the real rooms, is the most heavily defended, here is not only concentrated in the northwest on the essence of diesel engines, but also concentrated on artillery, power, steel, the essence of materials, all the latest materials, almost all the first time used here, the entire guard regiment of the most elite troops are also concentrated here.

Even if Yang Yuanzhao is the first person in the northwest, he has a special pass, and the necessary inspection must be done, and even changed the car twice, the internal and external vehicles are not universal, the formation of the inspection is strict, after more than a dozen procedures, it took almost an hour and a half, Yang Yuanzhao finally entered the tank room, the person in charge of the room is called Wu Tianxi, is a native of Shanxi, once a wealthy family, studied Western studies since childhood, and finally studied at the University of Pennsylvania in the United States, It was mechanical design that he studied, and returned to China in 1910, because the family was a subsidiary family of the Yang family, and was recommended to Yang Yuanzhao for the first time.

To be able to have a mechanical engineer is for Yang Yuanzhao. It is also an excellent thing, Wu Tianxi is in terms of background and resume. Definitely trustworthy, and therefore became the dominant player in the tank room. has always done well, and the breakthrough on the chassis is also led by him, which is also the biggest achievement.

"Let's bring the number of prototype cars and the progress of research!" Yang Yuanzhao didn't say much, but Wu Tianxi knew, he quickly took out all the information, and the first place was, of course, the chassis. Flip through the report. Yang Yuanzhao couldn't help but nodded, the chassis is one of the various tanks, the fastest development, compared with two months ago, the chassis has taken a big step forward, the chassis has been relatively mature, under the impetus of the 430 horsepower high-power diesel engine, it has stronger kinetic energy, mechanical transmission and kinetic energy use above. It is 1.57% higher than before, which looks inconspicuous, but it is improved on the original height, so that the performance of the vehicle has been improved in principle. The maximum speed, in the case of 23 tons, can be maintained at more than 50 kilometers per hour.

That's probably the best news ever. Yang Yuanzhao also understood why Wu Tianxi put this on top. This also proves that their 2 years are not a mess, and he knows it very well. On the chassis, how many difficulties have been passed, from the beginning of 200 horsepower to the present, even the utilization rate, has doubled, it can be said that this chassis will not be much lower than T34, and even higher in the case of the same horsepower.

After reading this, Yang Yuanzhao's mood was not only not happy, but even more raised, such an excellent chassis, there is no reason why you can't get a tank, get a good one, it's not easy to get a good one, it's not easy to get a T34, Yang Yuanzhao didn't plan to, Northwest is the first time, it's the standard of T34, at least a finished product comes out.

Next, carefully look at the other parts, especially the vehicle system, artillery, etc., he finally found the problem, it turned out that the problem was not in the tank research group, but in him, when he drew the tank drawings, he casually mentioned modularity, that is, with the chassis of the tank, modular self-propelled artillery, rocket artillery, and even anti-aircraft guns, etc., when he said it, he just said it unintentionally, and he didn't care, nor did he want to make a request, just a feeling, but the speaker had no intention, and the listener had a heart, This thing sounds very convenient, and its combat effectiveness is outstanding, including Wu Tianxi, so he really takes this as the supreme instruction, and studies it separately, and there are good results in all aspects, but it is a little difficult to integrate, and it takes so long to get nothing.

Yang Yuanzhao sighed, modularization, that is until the seventies and eighties of the 20th century gradually developed, in the CNC machine tools and precision processing reached a certain period of time, only to complete, not only tanks, ordinary guns have also progressed from a single attribute to the gun family, which has a huge role in logistics and modern command.

It's a good thing, but beyond this era too much, even if there is a clear instruction, it is impossible to complete, not to mention anything else, that is, the processing capacity, for this era, it is a moat, this is not a problem that cannot be solved, this is a problem that cannot be solved at all.

Yang Yuanzhao was depressed for a long time, fortunately he came to see, otherwise, the tank would really have come to a dead end, he was still thinking about what restricts the development of the tank, now it seems that it is really too much, the various components of the tank are no longer a problem, as long as modularization is not considered, it is estimated that within two or three days, there will be a prototype car, a qiē is ready-made.

Brought Wu Tianxi here, Wu Tianxi's head was low, he didn't dare to look at Yang Yuanzhao's face at all, Yang Yuanzhao attached great importance to the tank, of course he knew that he was helpless when there was no progress, countless things were integrated into one thing, even if he had some ideas, he couldn't solve it, so he had to bow his head and listen to Yang Yuanzhao's reprimand.

However, what Wu Tianxi didn't expect was that Yang Yuanzhao did not directly reprimand, but took the initiative to admit that it was his problem. Wu Tianxi listened to it for a long time, but he didn't understand much, but there was a sentence that he understood, that is, with the current level, he didn't think about the problem of modularity, and first came up with a tank, a few basic, 88 mm guns, 7 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and the rest can be arbitrary, without deliberately thinking about modularity, and even the convenience of the military does not need to be considered.

It's so simple, as the leader of this project, all aspects of the progress are under his control. The breakthrough achieved by the chassis is the largest, and it can be said that it is overwhelming. As for the rest, the artillery is not bad either. After being mixed with special cannon steel, the gun can withstand the pressure and wear resistance, extremely good, the rate of fire is also quite fast, the steel plate, because it is the latest tungsten alloy, I don't know what material is doped in it, the overall performance is more than 3 times that of the carbon doped steel plate, and the turret is made with him. In terms of weight, there is not a big increase, these have been able to be integrated.

Yang Yuanzhao's instructions are of course the highest instructions, don't worry about modularization, put aside some things that are not very suitable, just get a whole vehicle, this is easy, similar to the design of the whole vehicle, there are a lot of them here in Wu Tianxi. It's just not very suitable for modularization, just start it, get the electric welding, and start equipping. In just 2 days, a large steel monster appeared in front of Yang Yuanzhao, because of the drawing. Yang Yuanzhao's drawing is based on the tank that he once saw, which is. The most are Chinese tanks, and the 59 and so on are seen a lot. It's basically born out of the Soviet system.,This thing is also very similar to T34.,It's a little lighter than T34 in weight., The unladen reached 23.4 tons, with 45 mm of average armor, arranged in an inclined way, because of the performance of alloy tungsten, to exceed the ordinary armor, so the protection capacity of the 45 mm average armor is more than the T34 carbon-doped surface hardening armor, the protection capacity is almost comparable to the mainstream heavy tanks of World War II, as for the speed, it is even better, the northwest is excellent in the engine and transmission, so that its vehicle speed on the road, can reach 55 kilometers per hour, even if it is a battlefield off-road environment, it can also reach about 30 kilometers, which is very good for a big guy of more than 20 tons.

Yang Yuanzhao didn't expect that just a slight mention would get such a monster, and he was also a little surprised by the research and development capabilities of the research institute, especially in another report, there was a plan for a self-propelled gun of more than 110 mm, which was basically verified, which was equivalent to getting the design scheme of two tanks at one time.

Think about it carefully, it's nothing, T34 is the first tank to install a diesel engine, its general shape, also drawn by him, most of them are references to 59 and T72, the performance is more outstanding, Baotou because of the relationship between the all-in-one machine and Yang Yuanzhao, in the engine, has surpassed this era, as long as he wants, it can even reach the level of heavy engines in the seventies and eighties of the 20th century, without a small horse-drawn cart, it is a large horse-drawn cart, in terms of design, there are some deficiencies, It will also be overshadowed by the powerful performance and power, which are all mature because of two years of painstaking research by researchers.

The tank has finally been successfully studied, and the next step is to promote mass production, which is a relatively long process, and even after mass production, the performance of the tank will be reduced to a certain extent compared with the present, because the real yàn room is the best material and the best, and it is really into the stage of mass production, it is impossible to use such a good one, such as high-performance alloy tungsten, which can only be produced by guò all-in-one machine, but Baiyun Obo Iron and Steel General Plant, with the support of Williams real yàn room, has obtained some information from Krupp at a cost. Not the latest, the earliest is also 5 years ago, coupled with Yang Yuanzhao's vision of later generations and the comparison of the all-in-one machine, the new surface hardening process selected, can be in the case of surface hardening of 25%, to achieve the same steel armor 45% of the Cheng dù, hardness, basically reached the current alloy tungsten about 7 percent, as for the engine and others, there are a lot of changes, different Cheng dù has about 7 percent of the reduction, but Rao is so, the production of the whole vehicle, in terms of protective performance, will also exceed the T34, the attack power is also exceeded, 88 vs. 76.2, the only difference is the rate of fire of the artillery, the speed of the whole vehicle and the ability to assault

An epoch-making weapon was born, Yang Yuanzhao still named it a tank according to custom, because it was completed in 12 years, and named it T-12 according to the number, this later known as the Slaughterer's tank T-12 was born, and in the future on a larger scale, T-12 is the same as another weapon in the northwest, known as an unsolvable weapon.
