PS: Ask for a ticket......

More than 16,000 officers and men of the 118th Armored Division turned south to meet the invading 1st Armored Army of East Africa after a hearty hippopotamus feast. More than 2,000 vehicles of all kinds are speeding through the African wilderness, and flying smoke and dust obscure the sky.

A few minutes after Gao Bowen poked his head out of the turret of a giant panda, he was covered with mud and sand in his mouth and nose by a large amount of smoke and dust, and he quickly closed the top door and shrank back.

"Oh Bah, this is a terrible dirt road, and the dust is too big. I can't even see the road ahead......" Gao Bowen complained with a gloomy face: "Didn't you say that it is the rainy season here? Why is the road still so dry?"

The gloating voice of Sergeant Fang Hushan, the commander of the car next door, sounded in the company's channel: "Lao Gao, it's true that it's the rainy season, but this rainy season doesn't mean that the rain won't stop when it falls." And it's tropical, and it doesn't take a few hours to dry out when it rains. ”

At this time, the voice of platoon commander Wen Zecheng sounded: "What does it matter if you can't see clearly on the road? Panda has so many advanced instruments, battlefield data link, automatic navigation, electromagnetic detection, infrared detection, low-light detection, and magnetic field detection...... Even in the car, you can figure out what's going on outside. Besides, now you don't have to drive the car yourself, so why don't you use automatic navigation? You don't need to probe out at all......

Gao Bowen smiled awkwardly: "Hey, platoon commander, I know." But I'm not used to using this thing, it's too advanced, it's like a dream, so I often feel unsure. ”

"After using it a few more times, you can get used to it, no matter how advanced this thing is, it needs someone to use it. You turn on the autopilot, click on the [March] directory, there is a [Follow] option in it, yes, it's the one in the upper right corner, there are command vehicles at all levels in the subdirectory after clicking, the default is me, the platoon leader car. Okay, I've got a signal here, and now your car has automatically followed my platoon leader's car, and then you can leave it alone......"

"Hahaha, this thing is really easy to use, I wasn't used to it before......"

"Fool, you have to believe in science! It is much more reliable than you, this function is used when marching, especially when marching long-distance, a platoon of cars can take turns to be the leader, so that the physical exertion of each car group can be greatly reduced. Of course, if you encounter a situation, you must immediately switch to manual operation. Now our Panda's computer can handle general road conditions, automatically bypass obstacles, and automatically shift gears when turning and going up and down hills, but it's still not too complicated. The company commander, Captain Gao Dengwan, scolded with a smile: "I don't even know how to use such a good thing, it's just that the boar can't eat fine chaff, I really want to just get you to the logistics to drive a refrigerated truck." ”

"Spare me, company commander......" Gao Bowen repeatedly said to forgive.

Another commander also interjected: "Company commander, if you want to say, our current giant panda is really amazing, when I used to drive the Siberian Tiger, I thought there would be no better chariot in the world." But it didn't take long for the giant pandas to come again, and our Chinese scientists and engineers are really amazing. Whether it's a giant panda or a red panda, it's a pleasure to drive, and it's comparable to driving a car......"

In the history of the original time and space, for a long time, driving a tank was a very hard and physically demanding thing, far from being as majestic as it seemed.

As we all know, the noise of internal combustion engines, especially diesel engines, is very loud, and in internal combustion engine tanks, even the communication between the occupants must pass through the in-car intercom system, otherwise it is impossible to hear what the other party says. The high noise, combined with the sweltering and bumpy environment, makes it absolutely a sad thing to drive such a tank, and if you sit in it for hours and drive, you will basically be exhausted.

The giant panda they are driving now is a gas turbine electric version, but it is also equipped with a one-ton Silver Dragon battery pack, which is used as a power source in the cruising state. As long as it is fully charged, the gas turbine can be shut down and stopped, at this time, just relying on the battery pack to provide energy, can make the vehicle move at a speed of up to 60 kilometers, although not as far as the pure electric version of the Panda, but at an economic speed of 40 kilometers, there is also a range of about 320 kilometers. Moreover, the special type of DC motor is most suitable for vehicles with great variations in power demand such as tanks.

What's more, both gas turbines and electric motors are much quieter than internal combustion engines, especially electric motors, which are negligibly quiet. When it's battery-powered, it's almost non-heat-free. The new hydraulic suspension system, which is automatically controlled by the computer, can automatically adjust the undulating state of the body in real time according to the road conditions, and the stability performance is excellent. During the test drive, the testers put a half-full glass of water in the car and then ran around the field, but when they came down, the half-glass of water did not spill at all.

Coupled with the new low-noise track system, the panda is silent even when traveling at full speed, with only a very small sound. In addition, the high heat transfer without the engine and the semiconductor air conditioning system have greatly improved the interior environment.

The mission of the tank is to fight continuously for a long time, so it is important to maintain the good physical and mental state of the tank crew. The introduction of all these new technologies has greatly improved the working environment of the new combat vehicle, and the work intensity has also been greatly reduced. Now China's new tanks do this perfectly, even if they drive inside for a day, it takes less physical effort than staying in the old tank for an hour.

After the use of the front-line troops, they were greatly praised. Think that driving such a tank is simply a pleasure. The superiors and the logistics department are also very satisfied, and it is rare in the history of weapons development to see such a thing as a significant increase in performance while a significant decrease in production and maintenance costs.

........................................................................

At this time, on one of the "Lynx" infantry fighting vehicles of the Jibu Infantry Regiment, several Ethiopian leading party members were also admiring this vehicle. They were sent by the Ethiopian Workers' Party to serve as guides, and they were also regular officers and soldiers in Ethiopia. Contrary to what most people think, the Ethiopian army is actually a very advanced army, not a primitive black army with broadswords and spears. On the contrary, their weapons and equipment are not outdated at all, but they also have the equipment of several major powers in the world, which can be said to be well-informed.

However, as soon as the Ethiopian officers entered the car, they were stunned by the advanced equipment in the car. The semiconductor refrigeration device silently sent them a cool breeze, from the hot environment of more than 30 degrees outside to the car at 24 degrees, so that they couldn't help but shiver. The ensuing experience made them feel more like they were dreaming.

The "Lynx" tracked heavy infantry fighting vehicle is also a new type of vehicle that has been reinstalled this time, and unlike the Pandas, it is directly powered by pure batteries and does not have a gas turbine version. It started silently, then increased from a standstill to 50 km/h in ten seconds, and sped away in the field at a speed of 50 km/h, and at this time, the Ethiopian officers and soldiers sitting in the car did not feel that the car had driven unless they saw the scene outside the window of the car retreating.

"It's as comfortable as a car...... a major in Ethiopia blew the air conditioner and drank the cold drink in the car, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, there is an air conditioner and a refrigerator in this car, but why don't I see the compressor...... This is also a knowledgeable person.

Yes, unlike the original time and space, compression air conditioners were released by Xingke Group for a long time, and they were sold all over the world in 1910, so it was put on tanks very early, and almost all tanks in various countries during World War I were equipped with air conditioners. Especially in a hot region like Africa, if there is no air conditioning, it is not driving, but playing "iron meat".

However, the air conditioning of the chariot is similar to that of the civilian one, and a huge compressor is hung on the outside of the chariot. At that time, the officer saw that the Chinese tanks did not have compressors, and he still vomited in his heart and said: The Chinese do not understand the situation, and they actually sent the tanks without air conditioning to see how long you can hold on. He was already mentally ready to go in and be a "monolithic human flesh", but he didn't expect this to be the case.

"Of course there is no compressor, this is a semiconductor refrigeration system, Comrade Delisi ......" Peng Xuefeng, who received him, said with a smile: "This is also a new car, our previous car also used a compression air conditioner, and a compressor was also hung outside." ”

Semiconductor refrigeration is not a new high-tech, the phenomenon of semiconductor refrigeration was discovered as early as the middle of the nineteenth century, which is called the "Peltier effect". The refrigeration device manufactured by this principle has a very perfect performance, this kind of device has high efficiency and no moving parts, and does not need refrigerant as a medium, and the operation is noiseless, no vibration, and small size, light weight and other characteristics, and reliable work, easy to operate, easy to adjust the cooling capacity. Compared with the common compression, absorption and other refrigeration methods, it is beyond eight streets. However, this kind of semiconductor refrigeration has two serious shortcomings, the first is that the purity of the semiconductor is very high, and the second is that the stability of the current and voltage is extremely high. Either of these two conditions is insufficient, and it will greatly reduce its efficiency.

So until the beginning of the 21st century, this kind of thing was only used in applications with low cooling consumption and small floor space, such as the cooling of certain elements in electronic equipment and radio communication equipment. Semiconductor refrigerators and air conditioners for household use have also been used, but because of the problems of materials and currents, its efficiency is extremely low, and the energy consumption is extremely high, which is very uneconomical, so it hits the street. Only the Yankees, who are not bad for money, have engaged in a semiconductor cooling system on nuclear submarines.

But these problems are not a problem for China, which has opened a space production base. The semiconductors produced by Tiangong-1 can fully meet the purity requirements, while the internal resistance of high-energy iron-sodium batteries is extremely low and almost negligible, so the current and voltage are very stable. So since last year, there has been a leap forward in China's refrigeration technology, semiconductor refrigeration or heating technology has begun to popularize, and of course it has been widely used in warplanes, warships, submarines and combat vehicles to provide a good environment for their crews.

Major Delis looked around the car, and his eyes were straight as he saw the vehicle's computer control system, the driver's display with the cameras on the outside, the satellite positioning system, the electronic map, and the touch screen used by the soldiers. Even Delis is also an elite of the young Zhuang faction in the Ethiopian army, who has been to Europe and the United States for investigation and has seen a lot of the world, but at this time he was also scorched by thunder. This is still only a superficial view, and there are more in it, and of course the content and functions involving confidentiality will not be shown to him.

He couldn't help but praise: "The chariots of the Chinese comrades are really too advanced, and after the success of the revolution in our country, we also want to import such advanced chariots to your country......

Peng Xuefeng spit out the African hillbilly in his heart, but on the surface he was still very friendly and said: "Hehehe, of course this is okay, all the allied armies in the organization of the People's Revolutionary Federation have imported from us." Only our brother countries can use ......"

He added in his heart: Of course it's the monkey version!

At this time, the horn in the car sounded: "Report to the battalion commander, we found the vanguard of East Africa, there are 10 fried buns, 15 pot sticker dumplings, direction XXX, course XXX, speed 20 kilometers ......"

Peng Xuefeng asked, "Didn't see Hans Meow?"

"No, only fried buns and potsticker dumplings, neither Hans Meow nor Hans Meow have ......" Scout said with certainty, and then he added: "Their air conditioner seems to be broken, hehehe, they are all so hot and sweaty, like ...... fished out of the water"

"Okay, it seems to be a reconnaissance unit, quickly mark the location for me......" Peng Xuefeng came to the touch screen and switched the content to satellite map mode.

Soon, there were a few more blue cursors on the map, and the Scouts in front had teleported the location of the target through the communication equipment they were carrying. In fact, this East African army has long been discovered by satellites, and now they have been under the surveillance of satellites and high-altitude reconnaissance planes. Scouts were sent only for further confirmation and for more detailed observations.

"Well, it's about 75 kilometers away from our main force, and we will run into ...... in about an hour" Peng Xuefeng operated on the touch screen, and said to Major Delisi, who was looking strangely next to him: "Comrade Delisi, are you familiar with this place?"

Delisi leaned over and looked at it carefully for a while before nodding: "I know, this should be between Dolara and Bercoggy, on the east coast of the East African Rift Belt......"

"Comrade Delisi, could you please tell us about the local terrain......

"No problem, I've lived here for ten years...... "Delis smiled and began to introduce......

In fact, with China's current detection technology, even if there is no local leading party, the whole map can be opened. Of course, it is better to have it, after all, whether it is a satellite or a reconnaissance plane, no matter how advanced they are, it is impossible to observe some details, although the scouts can do the detailed observation, but this takes time, and it is of course more convenient to have a local introduction.
