Xiao Weiguo is a military worker, although he is only 35 years old, he has already served as the deputy chief engineer of several types of tank armored vehicles, can be described as a new force in the Ordnance Industry Group, and it is not impossible to independently undertake the design task of the future main battle tank in the future. However, he did not wait for this day, because he crossed.

Not only did he cross over, but he crossed over to the foreigners! A side child of the Krupp family. This made him very unhappy, you must know that his body and soul are completely Chinese nation, and he suddenly became a German, and he really can't adapt to it.

It's really sad to say, Xiao Weiguo was testing a new type of power technology, and he had an accident and crossed over.

On September 3, 2015, this day was supposed to be a day of national celebration, the 70th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the victory of the Anti-Fascist War, a grand military parade will be held in ** Square, in which the ground team has several types of tanks and armored vehicles developed by Xiao Weiguo.

It's a pity that he didn't have a chance to see it, because on this day their institute was going to conduct a major experiment, that is, to test the new power system of the future main battle tank.

The tested new power system uses diesel-electric hybrid, all-electric drive, hybrid drive - diesel power drive motor works when maneuvering at medium distances; Electrically driven by a battery pack during covert maneuvers on the battlefield to reduce noise and infrared radiation; When maneuvering at high speed, it is driven by two power forces in parallel, and the strongest power bursts out.

The diesel engine adopts an 880 kilowatt compact diesel engine, and the battery pack adopts a graphene battery pack, which can output 420 kilowatts of power, and the total power is 1,302 kilowatts when connected in parallel. When the diesel engine power is used alone, the diesel engine drives the engine to generate electricity, and the current sent by the generator supplies power to the traction motor through the electronic control center unit, and then drives the driving wheels on the left and right sides to drive through the transmission shaft, and the steering power is provided by the steering motor when steering, and the track speed on both sides is adjusted by the steering transmission shaft to realize steering; In the case of hybrid or pure electric power, the power is output via an electronic control center unit. The graphene battery pack weighs only 200 kilograms and can provide the tank with a range of 40 kilometers per hour and 600 kilometers in pure electric mode, 90 kilometers per hour in hybrid mode and 800 kilometers in alternating mode.

Because this new power system is also designed and tested for the first time in China, there is no experience to follow, so it can only be carried out, so as a new generation of technical backbone of the institute, Xiao Weiguo can only lead the team to test the test site.

Because China has always pursued a national defense policy of a defensive type, it has actively pursued a defensive military strategy, strategically adhered to the principles of defense, self-defense, and striking at the rear, cultivated the army's ability to conduct joint operations, mobile operations, and carry out a variety of tasks, and based itself on winning local wars under the conditions of modern technology, especially high technology. Therefore, future wars will no longer be isolated operations of a single service, but an integrated combat mode of multiple services and land, sea and air, and the main battle tank will become an important organic part of its combat system.

China's future main battle tank combat area is China's border area, due to China's large territory, so the future main battle tank must have a good strategic delivery and tactical mobility capabilities, to meet the needs of rapid mobility, China will be equipped with a large number of Yun-20 large transport aircraft in the future, so the future main battle tank must meet the Yun-20 and the current Il-76 transport aircraft loading requirements; China's terrain is complex, with plateaus, Gobi, deserts, hills, mountains, plains, water networks and rice fields, and other terrains, which require the future main battle tank to have high tactical mobility and can smoothly pass through various terrains.

At the same time, the "real-time information" and "information resource sharing" of the combat system will double the overall effectiveness of the main battle tank's firepower and support firepower, and the information control capability of the main battle tank will become the key to determining the mobility, firepower, and protection level of the main battle tank.

The main opponents that China's main battle tanks may face in local wars under high-tech conditions in the future include the United States M1A2 main battle tank, the Japanese Type 10 main battle tank and other ground main battle tanks and various armed helicopters in the air such as the Apache known as the tank killer, fixed-wing attack aircraft and individual anti-tank weapons, anti-tank mines, etc., with the development of weapon technology, the future tank will mainly face in addition to the fire strike of the opponent's tank, it will also face omnidirectional attack ammunition such as terminal sensitive bombs, airborne anti-tank missiles, The attack of anti-tank mines and other weapons can only improve the survivability of the tank by reducing the probability of the main battle tank being discovered in the future, and simply improving the armor protection can no longer meet the survival needs.

As soon as all these new technical requirements were put forward, Xiao Weiguo and the others felt that it was too difficult to develop! First of all, not to mention the technical difficulties in tank stealth, the new power system of the tank alone is a huge challenge! 1,300 kilowatts of power, or a hybrid of oil and electricity, how to arrange it in a small tank power compartment? And how to make two completely different dynamics well combined, give full play to their respective advantages, and produce the effect that one plus one is greater than two?

The chief engineer entrusted Xiao Weiguo with the task of developing a new power system for the future main battle tank. The development time node requirement is to complete the development of demonstration products within two years, which can stump Xiao Weiguo, you must know that this technology is still very immature all over the world, graphene batteries and tank electric transmission are new things, and they can also be tested on small vehicles, but it is difficult to install and use them on dozens of tons of main battle tanks.

Therefore, Xiao Weiguo had to hurry up and finally do a good job in the design and various basic tests, and then installed the reduced demonstration product on a light tank for testing.

Everyone didn't expect that when the power of the battery pack was turned on, the graphene battery pack exploded violently, not only the demonstration product and the light tank were blown up beyond recognition, but Xiao Weiguo and another technician sitting in the tank were also blown to pieces!

I have to say that the work of scientific research on weapons is very dangerous! There are many researchers who have dedicated their lives to this cause! However, it is precisely because generation after generation of ordnance scientific research personnel have devoted themselves to the research and development of advanced weapons and equipment that we have modernized our armed forces today!

Xiao Weiguo can't care about what is behind him, because he has traveled to Germany in 1930!
