Boar Tank ......

Shang Zhu and the others couldn't help but sweat profusely, what is this name? It doesn't sound like it has anything to do with this mighty and domineering tank. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, the main creative team has already chosen a name for this tank, and it is called the Ghost Tank.

As the world's first armored force, in the face of the torrent of steel, the ancient and traditional odd army will be mercilessly slaughtered.

Neither the 37 mm guns on the tanks nor the coaxial machine guns were something that those cavalry could fight.

Although the maximum speed is not comparable to the speed of the war horse's charge, this is a tank after all, and it represents the highest technical level, manufacturing process, and advanced design concept in the world.

With its sustainable athleticism, the cavalry is simply vulnerable in front of it, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as disappearing without a trace.

Therefore, the name Ghost won the support of most people as soon as it was proposed.

But no one thought that before they came up with this name, Wang Sirui had already named this 'ghost tank' that they had high hopes for as 'Wild Boar Tank', and this Nima didn't seem to be the plot arranged by the script.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Trust it not to disappoint. Although he was not very satisfied with the name, Shang Zhu still expressed his gratitude to Wang Sirui respectfully.

What does it mean that the emperor himself bestows the name?

Even if he is a fool standing here, he knows very well what this means, which means that this tank has been accepted and recognized by Wang Sirui, and in the short period of time in the future, it will be quickly equipped for use by the troops.

In other words, the fruits of their hard work have been successful.

It's not a great name, but so what? As long as you can kill the enemy, what do you care so much?

"I know that this name is not very satisfying to many of you, and you may think that this name does not match its great strength, but I want to tell you, don't be complacent because of it, there are many things that need to be worked on in the future.

Hundreds of years ago, the former Qing Dynasty believed that China was a vast country and a country that could still maintain prosperity even if it did not have contact with the outside world.

You are scientific researchers, you are the front-line strugglers of the empire, and only if you succeed can the army succeed. It looks perfect, but what if other countries also develop tanks? What if their performance was more advanced than ours? We will still be the weakest of the people.

An excellent design engineer, when he saw this tank, he should have thought about what aspects should be improved in the future to improve its combat effectiveness and survivability, instead of always thinking that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, such an attitude is undesirable.

I chose the name of this tank for you, and if you can develop the next generation of tanks within a year, then the naming rights will be handed over to you people.

However, I would also like to make a request to you here, whether you are designing tanks yourself or teaching your disciples to design tanks, you must keep this in mind.

When designing the next generation of tanks, make it as interoperable as possible with the previous generation of tanks, at least 10% of the parts are interoperable, and the fighters will thank you. Wang Sirui said absent-mindedly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your careful teachings, and the ministers are ashamed......" Listening to Wang Sirui's words, the scientific researchers couldn't help blushing a little, and hurriedly apologized.

They felt that this name was not domineering and could not be worthy of it, but Wang Sirui told them with facts that it doesn't matter what kind of name to take, what matters is its strength.

If even these researchers are complacent about designing a tank, and they sing day and night about this achievement, then what should the front-line troops do? At the end of the day, they may end up with a clear one.

The empire spent so much energy, finance, manpower, and material resources to train them, not only so that they could only design a tank, nor to find them some capital to brag about in the future.

It can even be said without hesitation that the reason why the empire spends so much money on them is actually to use this money to buy the lives of front-line soldiers.

Science and technology are not just for the sake of being able to defeat the enemy easily, the reason why human beings spare no effort to develop science and technology is not for their own survival?

Subsequently, Wang Sirui personally boarded the wild boar tank and entered the interior for a visit.

I have to say that this tank is really simple to the extreme, there is basically no paint on the outside, and even some solder joints have not been polished, but because it is a test vehicle, these appearance factors are not important.

And the interior is also chaotic, although it seems to be very reasonable, but many places are still flawed in Wang Sirui's opinion.

The most speechless thing is the few small horses placed inside the tank, is this Nima going to fight or to listen to the play?

Wang Sirui decisively put forward rectification suggestions, removed all the small horses, and replaced them with wall-mounted foldable chairs, and then put forward some suggestions on the interior layout.

Because this tank is designed to have a crew of only four people, this will inevitably increase the workload of the internal crew, and if the space design cannot be optimized, then the people inside will definitely be suffocated.

The changes aren't too big, but the gunner and sub-gunner--loader positions have been swapped to make it a bit smoother.

Similarly, Wang Sirui also proposed to develop a new soft hat to avoid unnecessary damage to the crew caused by the bumps of the tank in extremely poor road conditions. Of course, the internal handrails were also mentioned by Wang Sirui, which will not take up too much space, but can ensure the safety of the tank crew.

Subsequently, Wang Sirui personally experienced the process of a tank, stopping and firing, shell loading, as well as the feeling of coaxial machine gun and driving position.

If Wang Sirui's suggestions can be fully realized, the combat effectiveness of this tank will be improved, of course, mainly because of ensuring the comfort of the tank crew, a good state, naturally able to fight a beautiful battle.

After experiencing a tank, Wang Sirui found that this tank seems to be far beyond his imagination, it can be said that it is very powerful, once this tank is officially put into service, then from the beginning of his arrival on the battlefield, in the next five years, it will be the master of the battlefield, and other countries do not want to surpass it at all.

In this way, it seems that the subsequent improvement models are somewhat unnecessary, and this time is completely enough for them to design a new tank based on the design experience of this tank.

Although there is experience, it seems that there is still a lack of experience, after all, only one tank has been designed, and if you directly design a new tank, I am afraid that there will be all kinds of problems.

"Next, you will personally take charge of the formation of the plant, and the rest of the people will continue to carry out technical research on this tank, with the main goals on the engine and wading. In addition, at the same time as the formation of the factory, you can also prepare for the design of the next generation of tanks, the weight can be increased, but it must be controlled to 20 tons, the caliber of the gun needs to be increased, and the crew can be increased to five people. Wang Sirui instructed Shang Zhu.

He wanted to study medium tanks and heavy tanks directly, but the current conditions simply don't have the opportunity to study these. There is no bridge that can make him pass, is it possible to build a bridge when he encounters a river? This must not exhaust the sappers to death?

Moreover, at present, the engine is a little reluctant to even drive this 11-ton tank, and if it is heavier, wouldn't it be like a snail?

Therefore, the main goal is to design a light tank of less than 20 tons in the short term, anyway, they have an absolute lead in this regard, and the world's first tank will not really come out until the First World War, and that tank is a little too inadequate compared to the Boar tank.

Perhaps, the only disadvantage of the Boar tank is that the 37-mm gun cannot penetrate the opponent's armor, besides, how can a tank be equipped with a small-caliber gun? This is not the trend of future wars.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I heard that a new 60 mm caliber gun is being tested at the research institute, and I wanted to equip this artillery with a wild boar, but the research institute did not agree." Shang Zhu echoed while thinking of ways to increase his strength.

The research of tanks is too influenced by other departments, although they can make things, but they can't make artillery, and they need to be provided by the artillery research institute.

Just like the 37 mm gun equipped with the Wild Boar Tank, in fact, after Shang Zhu put forward the request, the Artillery Research Institute used a 37 anti-aircraft gun that had just completed the test, and in order to increase the power of the gun, the length of the barrel had to be increased.

On the other hand, due to the limitations of steel technology, without steel of sufficient quality, they could not ensure the safety of their armor. The main thing on the steel side is that the technology is not very qualified, but even so, after testing, the same 37mm tank gun cannot penetrate the Boar tank.

The 100 mm gun was able to penetrate the side armor, but it was somewhat reluctant. Of course, as long as the large-caliber artillery hits directly, it doesn't matter whether the breakdown is broken down or not, the shock wave from the explosion of the shell is enough to kill the crew inside.

"That's a new type of artillery designed for you, but the technology is not yet mature, and it is estimated that the next generation of tanks should be able to use it. You don't have to worry about this. Wang Sirui shook his head, the 60 mm gun was personally ordered to be studied, mainly high-explosive armor-piercing general-purpose artillery, mainly used for tanks and infantry anti-tank guns.

However, at present, it has encountered some difficulties, and no one dares to give Shang congratulations to the artillery that has not yet been designed.
