Chapter 608: Testing
Of course, Li Zhao originally wanted to install air conditioning on the tank, but considering the current environment, this idea was not realized in the end, and the air conditioning facility was not installed, but now at this time, the weather is relatively good, neither hot nor cold, and it is very friendly to the test, which is why Li Zhao will take the initiative to come over as a driver. If it was July or August, Li Zhao would never have made it in, and would rather teach someone than come in by himself.
You must know that in order to have a good protection, the tank generally does not leave much vents, you must know that in the environment of the battlefield, ventilation is very likely to be fatal, of course, later tanks have filter ventilation, or air conditioning systems, which are out of place in this era, of course, Li Zhao still intimately installed a fan, but that thing really doesn't play a role in summer, when it's hot, in such a small space, the effect can only be hehe.
If it is really a test run in the summer, Li Zhao will definitely hand over the task of testing to others, and the weather will be lukewarm, so he will be willing to try it himself, after all, the opportunity to operate the tank is still relatively rare, and after the test is completed, if he wants to drive this thing to have a good time, it will be more troublesome.
One is that even if this tank is in service, it is also a secret equipment, and Li Zhao will not know where to put it, and the second is that it will definitely not be tested in a conspicuous place, in this case, in addition to looking at the assembly plant, it is difficult for Li Zhao to see this tank in actual use, and now it is a rare opportunity.
In fact, there is another reason, that is, this thing is really fuel-intensive to use, it is estimated that it will cost more than 100 kilograms of oil in an hour, and with this fuel consumption, it is estimated that the training intensity will be relatively limited, which is too expensive.
After making sure that everyone was seated, Li Zhao restarted the tank, and at this time, the people who did not squeeze up all went to the special stand, and during the test, no one around was the best, which could effectively prevent accidents.
This tank Li Zhao has made a lot of changes, the previous tanks are two operating levers to control the operation of the track, just like the current excavator is the same, so the design is the simplest, a lever can control a track, and due to the design, the lever is also very heavy, generally need to use one or twenty kilograms of force, it is said that some of the strength is relatively small, may not be able to operate the tank.
And even if it is able to operate the tank, it is also a strength work, let's say that Li Zhao is going to carry out the test, ready to run for ten days and eight days without interruption, if it is that kind of operating lever, it is estimated that a driver will not be able to operate for a long time to be replaced, for the operator, it is estimated that it will be tired enough. The main problem is that when turning, you have to pull the right lever and then push the left lever when you turn right, which is of course a sharp turn.
For a lever that may need to be operated with both hands, take the serpentine curve, think about it and you will know that if you don't believe it, you can try some relatively backward excavators, in fact, excavators are generally used in old-fashioned tank chassis, and some excavators at the beginning are even directly changed with tanks, so those who can drive excavators are generally able to drive tanks, of course, this refers to the older design in the past.

If it is a new design, there is obviously still a need to learn, after all, there are still many changes. Li Zhao is obviously the one who will change, he is completely how to facilitate the operation and how to design, such as the operating lever was discarded and changed to the steering wheel operation, of course, the operation will still be heavier, but it is much easier than the operating lever. The operating lever basically requires one or twenty kilograms of force, while the steering wheel only requires a maximum of a few kilograms of force.
In this way, it will be almost the same as driving in peacetime, but such a design is likely to be problematic, after all, in the environment of war, the simpler things are often the more reliable, compared with the operating levers on both sides, this tank is considered to have chosen a more complex design, so there will be more content to test. Especially for the reliability test of machinery under extreme conditions, there are more tests that need to be tested, otherwise it is difficult to ensure reliability.
Of course, the first point is to run for a long time, this is mainly to detect the operation of the machinery, whether there will be problems because of the long-term operation, and in this process, tests such as aiming will also be carried out, the main purpose is to fully run all the machinery, to see if the machinery can operate normally in the long-term operation. This is also the main test content today, but Li Zhao will only open for a while, and let others come at other times.
After starting for a while, Li Zhao also began to move forward, first of all, the maximum speed, the kind of throttle that is stepped on to the end, of course, it is impossible for the tank to run how fast, this thing itself is not designed for racing, this wants to experience the feeling of speed, or to drive a car, of course, it is best to drive a sports car or even a racing car. Soon the speed stabilized, Li Zhao also looked at the speedometer at this time, and it was okay, running to fifty-five kilometers per hour.
Li Zhao is quite satisfied with this speed, you must know that this tank is very heavy, originally it was going to be about fifty-five tons, after all, if it is sixty tons, it will be too heavy, and the power required will be greater, Li Zhao is not sure about the performance of the newly designed engine for the time being, but due to the problem of armor, it is still overweight.
This is also a matter of no way, after all, it has just begun to study the armor, for the filling of the armor, it is really backward, just say fiberglass, in fact, the protection capacity is really not very good, according to the data from the tank factory, fifteen mm thick fiberglass, at a 68-degree inclination, the protection capacity is about equal to 134 mm of average armor, this data is much lower than Kevlar armor.
This is also the reason why the armor is so much heavier, after all, Li Zhao's requirement is that the armor protection capacity needs to be equivalent to the average armor thickness of one meter, and in order to achieve this protection ability, the thickness of the armor layer can only be increased. But there's no way around it, after all, I already have such an attack ability, and I can't prevent it. At this weight, it is enough to run 55 kilometers, which is a very good speed.
After the speed increased, Li Zhao began to bury his head in laps, but in order to verify the performance, Li Zhao had no intention of slowing down at all. It is estimated that this training ground was also built under the influence of Li Zhao, and the content contained in it also includes shoals, hills, and serpentine turns, which is the content of the tank competition that Li Zhao understands, and there should be no such thing in this era, these projects can better imitate the environment faced by the tank, and can also test the performance of the tank better.

For such terrain, it is really too friendly to this tank designed by Li Zhao, such as serpentine turns, and the tank controlled by the steering wheel is definitely better than using two operating levers, after all, that turning is completely dependent on your own training, and you must cooperate with the operating range of the two operating levers, otherwise the turning will definitely not turn well. Especially in this kind of serpentine corner, it is much easier to do with a steering wheel, and the tank can't run fast, so it's much easier to turn.
And the so-called hills are constantly uphill and downhill, in order to verify the performance of the tank, here, Li Zhao did not slow down, just a few times up and downhill, but directly tossed everyone in the car enough. After all, the tank is not designed for enjoyment, although the suspension system is more advanced, but such a large change in height and low, bumps are inevitable, it can only be said that the speed is not fast, and the bumps are still within the range that can be tolerated.
In this way, he ran two laps first, and in the next test, Li Zhao also asked everyone in the car to start cooperating with each other, mainly to turn the turret for aiming tests and the like, after all, only in such continuous tests can we know how the performance is and find problems. At this time, Master Zhang and the others became excited and kept shouting, but Li Zhao could understand this situation, after all, this was on the march.
After having an auxiliary system, as long as the target is locked, the gun will automatically follow and aim, although the system is really rubbish, but this ability also gives the tank the ability to attack on the move, otherwise it can only stop and aim again.
It's just that just as Li Zhao was worried, I don't know what the problem was, after using it for a period of time, the electronic side directly struck, which also made the tank directly return to the second-generation state. This is a great headache for Li Zhao, but fortunately, it can be regarded as letting the generals know the ability of this function.
They are still very satisfied with this feature, and of course it would be best if there were no problems. It's just that in this case, Li Zhao also has no good way, you must know that the welding of electronic components in this era is manual welding, and it is still easy to have problems, such as virtual welding, which is a very easy problem, in addition to this, it is also possible that the electronic components are damaged, after all, the environment used in the tank is too bad.
As for the specific reason, Li Zhao is not clear, and needs to be checked after getting it back, but fortunately, it is just that the observation and sighting system has failed, and the mechanical system has not found a problem, in this case, it does not affect the follow-up lap test, at this time, Zhang Shichang and others are not willing to sit in it and suffer, they all got out of the car and went to the observation point to chat together, and Li Zhao also called a few electronic researchers to get on the car to check.
