Chapter 7, Experimental

As an experimental type, the requirements are not too high, just measure the data first, and slowly improve it in the future. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The artillery of the new tank uses a 120mm rifled gun, which was originally intended to be a smoothbore gun, but considering that the smoothbore gun technology in this era is not yet mature, let's use a rifled gun.

This tank is 2.5 meters high, which is 0.25 meters shorter, and 59 is only 2.75 meters. The car is 3.6 meters wide, and the 59 is 3.27 meters, which is wider than the 59, mainly because of the engine. The length of the car is 7.4 meters, the barrel is 10.4 meters, the 59 plus the barrel is 9 meters, and the body is only 6 meters. In this comparison, except for the height, 59 is much smaller.

Because of the horsepower increased to 800, his speed naturally increased a lot, the maximum speed on the road is 56km/h, the maximum speed off-road is 51km/h, climb 1.1 meters high, cross the ditch 3 meters. Wait a minute!

In terms of theoretical data, it is much more beautiful than the Type 59, but what about the specific situation?

As an experimental type, it was named SY-1 type, taking the pinyin of the word test, and it was the first one.

After driving out of the workshop, the tank drove to the test site, and the driver did not dare to drive fast at all, because the engine was not perfect enough, and he was worried that the engine would have problems if he drove it fast.

However, the SY-1 did not give face, even if it drove slowly, only at a speed of 20 yards, after driving 1000 meters, it broke down, stopped there, and could not catch fire.

The engineers who were following the tank saw that the SY-1 had broken down, and immediately ran over with their tools and began to overhaul it.

The driver who climbed out of the tank saw that the engineers ignored him and didn't ask what was wrong, so he just stood there, a little embarrassed.

Several Jewish engineers climbed in and out of the tank, opened the hood and looked everywhere for problems, and the driver watched from the side, dazed, he didn't understand anything.

After more than half an hour of overhaul, the engineers restored the SY-1 and asked the driver to go up and continue the test drive.

"Faster, faster!" The driver drove the SY-1 slowly, and the engineers who followed him stopped doing it, urging him to drive faster.

Drive faster, drive faster, can you get up faster? I'm afraid that the engine will go out again if I drive fast, what should I do? The driver sneered, didn't dare to say it, and still drove slowly.

When the engineers saw that he was still driving so slowly, they urged even harder.

Until the driver couldn't stand it anymore, "Okay, since you're letting me drive fast, I'll drive fast." After whispering, he immediately put up the gas pedal to speed up.

The needle of the computer turns upwards, and the needle crosses 30 and continues upwards.

When it was close to 35, suddenly the engine spewed out puffs of black smoke, panting vigorously, like an old cow panting, and then the engine turned off with a buzz, and lay down again.

The pilot climbed out of the cockpit and innocently looked at the engineers who rushed up again, "You made me accelerate." ”

"It's none of your business, it's about testing the new engine and finding out what's wrong with it, you just have to do what we ask you to do and get the tank in place.

"Well, I see." The driver nodded knowingly.

The test continued, still at an accelerated pace, and this time, he successfully raised the speed to 40 yards, and the tank did not turn off, continuing to move at a steady pace.

As the driver continued to gear up to speed, the tank suddenly stalled, but there was no black smoke.

"Flames out again?" The driver sat in his chair blankly, and then got out of the tank in a daze.

Subsequent engineers immediately conducted a physical examination of SY-1 to find out what was wrong.

"The engine is broken and needs to be replaced!" An engineer looked up and said to the crowd.

"The engine is broken." The driver repeated.

"Yes, I want to return to the factory to rebuild." The engineer replied.

"Then this test..." The driver asked.

"Pause, wait until the engines are all fixed before testing." The engineer said.

"How long will that take?" The driver asked.

"I don't know, if it's fast, it will take a day or two, and if it's slow, it will take ten days and half a month." The engineer gave a vague answer.

"Okay!" The driver gave up.

This tank is comfortable to drive, much better than the 59, which is like the 59, the lever has to be wrenched hard, even with a hammer. This steering wheel is much simpler and very labor-saving. So he was quite optimistic about the tank, it was easy to drive, and if it could solve the engine problem, it would be great.

This SY-1 tank was towed away, after all, the engine was broken, and it could be towed by a trailer, but it weighed more than 50 tons, and the trailer was laborious to tow, and it was slow to go.

The first test failed, the biggest problem of SY-1 is the problem of the engine, although the power reached 800, but because of the imperfection of the transformation, resulting in a lot of problems, this test also found a lot of problems about SY-1, easy to improve.

This tank was nominated and developed by Lu Qiang, and the data in all aspects are very similar to the future Type 99 tank, mainly because Lu Qiang was greatly influenced by 99, plus some of his ideas, and this tank was born.

In terms of appearance, it is very similar to Type 99, but its equipment performance is poor, and the difference is not one or two points, but the difference between cloud and mud.

However, once this tank is off the production line, it is definitely the strongest in the world, and no one can wear 300mm armor, plus reactive armor, almost no tank can penetrate him head-on.

On the main gun, it is equipped with a 120mm gun, such a large caliber, only the Mao Xiong family has, the IS series, equipped with a 122mm gun, is not bad, but the armor penetration is poor, and it is difficult to penetrate even the front of the Tiger King.

The test of this tank, I don't know how to get to Lu Qiang, suddenly, Lu Qiang became interested, a tank ahead of its time, it looks very powerful in the data, Lu Qiang notified the engineer of the tank manufacturing, and called him in the next test.

Lu Qiang's news was conveyed to the engineers, which made them panic, now this SY-1 tank has not been completely perfected, there are many problems, and it is still very early to go to the battlefield.

But now Lu Qiang wants to come to the test, which is almost the same as going to the battlefield, and the tank must be thoroughly perfected.

Fortunately, Lu Qiang didn't say that there was no time, there was no time limit, and they were more relaxed and didn't need to tense their nerves.

In order to make the tank shine in the next training, these Jewish engineers immediately inspected all kinds of repairs and repairs of the tank, tried to eliminate all the problems, and took away the engine, and set up a special team to solve the engine problem. (To be continued.) )
