Chapter 48 Communication
The test was completed, and it was almost noon, and the lunch that everyone ate in the canteen of the headquarters was not bad, there was meat today, it should be a pig, after all, there were a lot of people who came today, and there were more than 20 technicians from the military factory, and Li Zhao didn't know how so many people came to the test. Including Li Zhao and his party, there were more than 30 people here.
After eating, I took everyone to visit the troops' station, first of all, of course, the exhibition room, where the glorious history of the regiment, the main battles it experienced, and the various achievements it achieved, Li Zhao was silent in front of a wall, and the whole regiment from its formation to the present, there are more than 19,000 soldiers, more than 8,000 people have sacrificed, more than 3,000 people have retired due to injuries, and only more than 4,000 people have retired normally, and these people are mainly concentrated after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
After reading the showroom, everyone visited the equipment in the regiment, this is a semi-mechanized infantry regiment, and Li Zhao also visited the Type 59 tank for the first time, whether it is in the previous life or this life, these active equipment are not likely to be displayed casually, and Li Zhao has no way to see these equipment.
This tank is still relatively advanced in this era, but the national foundation is weak, and it is still somewhat difficult to produce this. There are many improved models of the 59 type, and it is said that there are also those carrying 125 mm guns, and after a general look, Li Zhao still has some ideas for this tank, and you can ask later, can you get the drawings and study it yourself.
Li Zhao saw three of them when they visited, all of them were under maintenance, and some of the other equipment was also seen, all of which were relatively conventional equipment. There are more artillery, mainly towed artillery, self-propelled artillery Li Zhao did not see, the most famous 107 rocket artillery is quite a lot.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone came to the conference room to prepare for the meeting. Li Zhao thought that the people who came from the military industry were from a factory, but he didn't expect that there were five families, and four or five people from each family came, which was different from what Li Zhao thought.
First of all, the project summary, but because Li Zhao is exoskeleton was designed by Li Zhao, Li Zhao was asked to speak first. After a humble pause, Li Zhao also said first: "This exoskeleton is mainly to provide assistance to the soldiers, so that the soldiers can have a place to borrow, such as carrying materials at normal times, the items will first act on the human body, and then the body will transfer the force to the ground, so that the amount of materials carried is affected by the human body's bearing capacity, and now it can be directly transmitted from the exoskeleton to the ground, so it is labor-saving, which is also the central idea of the design." ”
"The effect this time is not bad, but there are also shortcomings, mainly the lack of consideration of the pylons, we can add some pylons as needed, such as guns, various ammunition, and even artillery, etc., which can be customized according to the needs of the troops. As for the structural problems, it is necessary to consider strengthening the fixed points to prevent such deformation today. ”
"This set of equipment should have a great effect on the plateau or mountainous areas, which can effectively reduce the load of the soldiers, so that the materials that can be carried will increase, which is conducive to improving the self-sustaining ability of the soldiers and improving their lives. And we can also design new accessories according to the characteristics of the mountain to help the mountain, which may require a field visit, I don't have any good ideas, I need to rely on everyone here to solve it. That's all, thank you. "Li Zhao doesn't need to participate in the follow-up research, just hand it over to the military industry department.
Then everyone said their opinions, much the same, but the military is very satisfied, hoping to mass produce as soon as possible, this does not cost much, but the improvement of the soldiers' self-sustaining power is huge.
In the next technical exchange session, the first question was not asked by people from the military industry, but by people from the military, and the first thing they asked was the core question, how to improve the armor-piercing ability of tank guns. The current armor-piercing projectile has a penetration depth of only about 150 mm, which is too powerful, and in this case, there is actually no good way in the military industry, unless it is replaced with a larger caliber artillery, but it is too difficult to modify the design.
The question was raised, and everyone looked at Li Zhao, and Li Zhao scolded in his heart, is this going to take turns asking himself questions? It seems that it was agreed in advance, this is Li Zhao looking at the leader, and as a result, he got a look that let him go on stage, it seems that this time he really let himself do the answer, forget it, he knows it and answers.
After coming to power, Li Zhao pondered for a moment and said: "In fact, everyone understands that only the progress of basic industries can bring about the leapfrog development of various equipment, and the current 59 tank production has encountered many problems, right?" That's why the basic industry is weak, so I've designed electroslag remelting furnaces, new alloy steel formulations, and more importantly, I've provided a number of machine tool drawings that should be realized in the next one to two years, and the realization will effectively improve the machining accuracy and capabilities of your factories. ”
"The electroslag remelting furnace can refine the metal, and the gun steel you are using now can be directly refined and then processed, and then the body tube self-tightening and boring internal chrome plating can be carried out, which can effectively improve the pressure bearing capacity of the artillery, and the power of the gun can naturally be increased. This amounted to an effective upgrade of the artillery. ”
Then Li Zhao wrote on the blackboard the words tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing bullet and depleted uranium bullet, and explained. Then the process of calculating and talking began, and finally the influence relationship between the weight, speed and diameter of the bullet was obtained, that is, the greater the weight of the bullet, the greater the speed, and the smaller the diameter of the projectile, the stronger the power of the armor-piercing projectile. Finally, the general diagram of the tail stabilized deshelling armor-piercing projectile is given, and the need for a smoothbore gun to increase the muzzle velocity is emphasized.
Then there is the depleted uranium shell, which is also a tail stabilized deshelling armor-piercing projectile, which explains the reaction of uranium-238 in the event of a high-speed collision, and compares this with tungsten alloy, the power can be said to be directly doubled, of course, it also emphasizes the harm of this shell. I don't know if the military industry will study it, it is estimated that it will not be equipped in a short time, but it will definitely be studied.
Then, as expected, the question is how to strengthen protection, what else can be done about this, it is unrealistic to change tanks, first talk about composite armor and reactive armor, these are also what Li Zhao saw on the Internet in his previous life, but he just talked about the principle. For example, composite armor, some people say on the Internet that it is actually inferior to homogeneous steel armor to resist armor-piercing bullets, but Li Zhao just said the method, and the specific test needs to be completed by the military industry itself.
And the reactive armor Li Zhao only knows about the explosives that will explode when it hits a high-power collision, Li Zhao doesn't know, the reactive armor will not react when hit by a high-power sniper rifle. The schematic diagram on the Internet also appeared firing a cutting blade to cut incoming shells, and Li Zhao told him.
Li Zhao said very happily, but the people in the military industry, the more they listened, the more their hearts sank, and they felt as if they had lived in vain, and the gap was too big, just like they and Li Zhao did not live in the same world. This has been a problem with the direction that has plagued me for a long time, and I have no clue if I want to break my head, so when it comes to Li Zhao, I will give a few of each.
Seeing this, Li Zhao talked about camouflage painting again, these people in the military industry department understand it, and they use it a lot, such as making grass on the body to cover it up when it is lurking, such as getting a white costume for yourself in snowy weather. And Li Zhao asked them to put camouflage paint on the equipment, they really didn't think about it. Then Li Zhao gave a general description of what he knew, such as jungle camouflage, desert camouflage, ocean camouflage, etc., which could effectively improve his concealment ability, so let them study it.
The next problems are even more varied, fortunately Li Zhao has a better solution here, but it is not so easy to really study. Li Zhao said it happily, but the hearts of the people in the military factory sank to the bottom.
The first is the tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing projectile, tungsten alloy manufacturing and processing is the first problem, and then if you want to launch this armor-piercing projectile, the artillery is also a problem, the shell increases by a few kilograms, and if you want to still reach this speed, you need to increase the charge, and the requirements for the artillery itself are higher. This is the relationship between one shot and the whole body, the weight of the shells increases, and the number of shells carried is another problem.
External armor also involves the weight of the tank, and increasing the weight will affect the speed and travel of the tank. Then you have to change the engine, you must know that the engine speed used now is relatively slow, only 2000 rpm per minute, and the gas compression ratio is also small, but it is not so easy to improve, and it needs to be improved after the material, processing technology, and assembly accuracy are broken through.
In this exchange, everyone who came felt that they had gained a lot, only Li Zhao was a little helpless, it was easy to say, how could it be so easy to achieve.
