There seems to be some kind of misunderstanding about tanks among many people.

When the two mouths touch, what is so difficult about building a tank? To put it bluntly, isn't it just to build a car and put a cannon on it? It's easy! What technical challenges can there be?

If you insist on saying that, you can't help it, but it's really not that easy to get a car and put a cannon on it.

Let's talk about this power plant first, no one is really stupid enough to think that building an internal combustion engine is equivalent to building a tank, right?

The performance of the internal combustion engine is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, look at the current military transport vehicles, even the armor plate on it does not dare to install a few more pieces, because when the time comes, the materials on the car are loaded, it is very likely that it will not be able to drive.

The engine output is insufficient, and you can drive a tank of thirty or forty tons?

At this time, some people wondered, why could the battleship move?

Because the battleship has a size of one or two hundred meters, you can cram a turbine the size of a room on it, but can a tank fit in? Seriously, the size of a battleship's engine alone is not much smaller than a tank.

Now to get back to the point, it is obviously a bit impractical to develop an engine that allows the tank to do whatever it wants, based on the current state of technology.

And such technical problems can often not be solved in a short period of time, so in this way, you can only choose to control the tonnage of the tank, do not want a tank of thirty or forty tons, and build a light tank of ten or ten tons, right?

Okay, after making a trade-off and barely solving the power problem, let's look at the weapon system.

The main armament of the tank, of course, was the long main gun.

But according to the tonnage of a light tank, if a 125-caliber main gun is mounted on it, can its small body withstand it?

Don't toss yourself away as soon as the cannon is fired.

Therefore, for the sake of insurance, and also to take into account the stability of a whole tank combat vehicle, it is better to control the caliber below a hundred.

Now let's talk about the protection system, the most direct is the armor plate, the tank has to charge on the battlefield, and the soldiers behind follow the tank, so the armor plate must be thick enough and the defense must be strong!

But now the problem comes, due to the fact that the front power plant is not very powerful, if you have too much armor plate and too thick, it will be too heavy and you will not be able to drive.

In this way, in order to ensure mobility, you can only reduce the thickness and quantity of armor relatively speaking, or make the turret shrink a little more, or even directly change to a relatively light weapon.

At this pace, you'll soon be able to build a well-balanced tank that sounds good and doesn't sound good.

Later, when you go to the battlefield, you will find that your tank and combat vehicle, which has average power and insufficient armor defense, cannot show the combat effectiveness you expected at all.

In the end, I came to a conclusion, that is, I am like a fool, and I have spent a lot of money on this currently very cost-effective thing, and if I have that spare money, why don't I match the army soldiers with two more grenades, get a body armor, and upgrade the rifle?

Yes, you've managed to build a tank, but we can do the same thing in a cheaper and more cost-effective way.

This is also the main reason why at this stage, players do not have tanks and combat vehicles, they are not stupid, many problems have not been solved, why spend so much money now, and do things with such low cost performance? Wouldn't it be good to wait until all the problems on all sides are solved, and then do it in one step?

That's what players do at this stage.

Of course, in addition to the above things, there are actually many things to be done on tank fighting vehicles.

Let's say, artillery two-way stabilizers.

To put it bluntly, everyone should know that the battery above the tank will turn.

It is even possible to turn the main body of the vehicle to the left and the tank turret to the right.

The function of the two-way stabilizer of the artillery is to ensure that the artillery will not be affected by these factors in the process of moving and turning the tank, so as to carry out a stable shelling.

This thing is very important, because to a large extent, it determines the accuracy of the shelling of this tank fighting vehicle.

It is no exaggeration to say that when judging whether a tank is powerful or not, it is also a very important factor to see whether its two-way stability is awesome.

After all, as long as the cannon misses the target, it is for nothing.

And the technology in this thing is also bigger.

Of course, you can also build a fixed turret, but in that case, why do you build tanks? Everyone builds tanks because of the mobility of the tank on the battlefield, and at the same time, the turret rotates, which can strike the enemy from all angles.

It's impossible to spend so much money, just to get a front-row meat shield out, right?

If you are in a tense war and there is no time to produce later, it is understandable to make a compromise and build a fixed battery, but it would be too speechless to rush to the fixed battery at the beginning.

In addition, there is also a communication device, and you must also install a communication device in your tank, otherwise you will be deaf and blind when you go to the battlefield.

And then the electrical equipment, this must also be necessary, otherwise how can you run so many devices and equipment on your tank and combat vehicle?

At the same time, there are many more.

And if you want to install so many devices, equipment, and weapons in such a limited space, you have to test your design ability.

There is a good saying, insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the liveliness.

To the uninitiated, when you look at tanks and battleships, they all look similar, and you can't see a difference after looking at them for a long time.

But some insiders can just report an accurate model after two glances.

As a simple example, take Yuan Xi as an example, Luo Ji can't see many ways to look at those battleships by himself now, but you just need to point to a fleet and ask Yuan Xi, how are those warships, and he will tell you a lot of them in minutes.

Yes, tanks have been around for a long time, but combined with all the technical difficulties, in real-world history, tanks actually really rose to prominence during World War II.

As for the tank combat vehicles of the dwarf civilization of the Tang and Song dynasties, although Luo Ji did not see their performance with his own eyes, but at that time, Calgan had actually arrived in the sky over this area with his troops, so he saw some.

Luo Ji just listened to Kalgan's report, and knew that this dwarf tank and combat vehicle was simply black technology.

Are you kidding? At this stage, a tank and combat vehicle of thirty or forty tons can run and fight, and in the case of good mobility, the defense is also quite amazing, and even the attack of the Hydra can be hard twice, isn't this enough black technology?

After bidding farewell to the Tang and Song dynasties, Luo Ji took a brisk step and rushed all the way back to his tent for temporary rest, and then quickly opened the system panel, and while sending a message to Ye Qingxuan, he directly traded the gold-level design of the dwarf tank tank.

Obviously, according to the situation on the front line, he won't be able to rush back for a while, but this dwarf tank tank, he must study it first, and the sooner it is built, the better.

In this way, it has become the most convenient way to directly trade with Ye Qingxuan and let Ye Qingxuan order this matter.

After all of this was done, it was getting dark outside.

Luo Ji, who had a simple dinner, was ready to sleep first.

After all, the previous long-distance trip was not something that could be fully recovered by sleep, and he was still quite tired now.

Until Wang Kai, the chief of the guard next to him, reminded him......

"Your Majesty, Lieutenant Colonel Gert is still holding that Pompeii Rand and waiting under the surface of the sea."

Luo Ji, who heard this, slapped his head, okay, there are a lot of things, and he forgot about Gert if he was not careful.

"Wang Kai, you go and check whether the manpower of other forces is gone in this port outside, after confirmation, find a hidden location, and let Gert catch that Pompeii Rand, pay attention, be hidden, try not to be discovered."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
