Winter went to spring, the days passed day by day, and soon came to the end of 65 years, the weather in Sijiu City this year was much colder than the previous year, but the production plant of the military department was in full swing, and there was a joyful scene everywhere.

I saw Jiang Yan leading a group of technicians, preparing to assemble a batch of parts.

In the past six months of public relations, design, and production, each team has completed the tasks scheduled by its own group, and almost all the parts produced have gathered in the production plant of this military department.

"Come on, come on, let's move these parts one by one." Jiang Yan greeted.

"Yes! Let's move!" Several sturdy young men stepped forward and carefully removed the delicate parts from the storage room - there were cylindrical barrels, curved turrets, and gear mechanisms of different shapes, but the shape of the turret was not much different from the Type 59, but it used a new alloy material, so it was much harder than the old Type 59.

"Put them on the assembly table one by one, and I'll see if the sequence is right." Jiang Yan said as he looked at the design drawings.

Everyone placed the parts neatly in turn, and after Jiang Yan checked it carefully, he nodded with satisfaction: "The position is well placed, and then we can officially start the assembly work!" I'll call by number in a moment, and you can just send the stuff over."

"Great, it's finally ready to be assembled!" I can't wait to see what the finished product looks like!" The technicians were excited.

"Don't worry, you have to take it one step at a time." Jiang Yan said with a smile, "Let's start assembling the chassis according to the standard process." ”

So everyone quickly got into the groove and started working in an orderly manner. Two sturdy workers carefully lifted a large chassis component: "Report, the chassis is in place!"

"Report."

Reports

Under Jiang Yan's methodical command, the chassis of the tank gradually took shape, and the high ground of the chassis was a little higher than that of the Type 59, and the area was naturally a little larger, and the most conspicuous thing was the five pairs of load-bearing wheels on the tank.

In later generations, it was precisely because of the excessive number of modifications of the Type 59 tank that it was difficult for ordinary military enthusiasts to identify the origin of the Type 59 from the external structure of the tank. Eventually, a quick-witted military aficionado discovered a common feature of the Type 59: it had exactly 5 pairs of load-bearing wheels!

So there is a poem that says: "Looking at the turret from a distance and scaring people to death, looking at five pairs of load-bearing wheels up close!" ”

So 5 pairs of load-bearing wheels have also become 59 Peugeot changes, this Peugeot Jiang Yan naturally copied it as it is, this is really not fashionable, five pairs of load-bearing wheels can effectively improve the mobility of the tank, as well as the load-bearing capacity.

Once the chassis of the tank is installed, the next step is to install the engine, gearbox, and other complex transmission mechanisms. This thing is delicate work, and you have to be careful

"Be careful, this gear must not be scratched." Jiang Yan reminded while personally installing a precision variable gear on the spindle.

"Okay, we'll be careful." Technicians are also on hand to help, in case one accidentally damages these lean components.

After some effort, the drivetrain was finally installed.

Jiang Yan wiped his sweat and exhaled a long breath: "The transmission system is done!" Now comes the main thing, let's start assembling the turret and main gun!"

"The turret parts are ready to be assembled!" A military expert reported.

"Okay, let's get started right away." Jiang Yan nodded.

The crowd carefully stitched together the ring-shaped parts one by one, and soon, a huge turret skeleton rose from the ground.

"Bring the main cannon up!" Jiang Yan waved his hand and ordered.

Two strong men slowly lifted a cannon onto the turret.

Then, with a gantry crane, the turret was mounted on top of the tank.

"Alright, let's try turning the turret." After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he pressed a button.

Just listening to the "creak", the entire huge turret slowly rotated in a circle, and the movement was very smooth.

"Great, this mobility is perfect!" Seeing this, everyone cheered and congratulated each other.

Jiang Yan smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, we have more important tasks next." The people who signed the non-disclosure agreement stay, and the rest of the people please go back! ”

Although most of the workers were reluctant, they also knew that others had more confidential work to do, so they reluctantly left the workshop.

After they left, the person in charge of security sent by Chief Wang counted the people who stayed in the workshop, nodded to Jiang Yan after counting, and then sent people to guard all parts of the factory, and then a team of soldiers came to the workshop to protect some boxes.

This box contains some things such as the artillery control system, aiming system, and on-board radar that Jiang Yan researched.

Under Jiang Yan's command, all the parts began to be assembled into the tank's body.

After a busy morning, all kinds of equipment were gradually installed on the tank, so that all kinds of indescribable parts were hung on the tank, but these did not affect the appearance and function of the tank in the slightest.

At this time, the military personnel could not wait to come to the door.

"I heard that the assembly work is nearing completion?" A middle-aged man in a military coat walked out of the jeep that had just landed - this was Chief Wang

"Yes, Chief Engineer Jiang said that it will be accepted soon." A technician replied graciously.

"Great!" Chief Wang rubbed his hands excitedly, "I really don't know what kind of surprise Xuecheng has prepared for us, the data and prototypes he provided, the old scientists of our institute are stunned!"

Several senior experts from the Academy of Military Sciences who followed Chief Wang also nodded yes.

"That's right, the technical parameters provided by Xuecheng are really unprecedented." An old expert with gray hair pushed his glasses and said, "The fire control system he gave us is undoubtedly advanced, that is, it is estimated that it will take us five years to produce it ourselves, and he has greatly saved us time." ”

"Yes, there is also this artillery radar, which can not only be used on tanks, but also on our artillery, which greatly increases our target recognition and improves the accuracy of design." Another middle-aged expert chimed in,

"Yes, that new armor material is also very magical, it can withstand all kinds of attacks but is unusually light." The first veteran expert continued to sigh, "If these things are used in military equipment, the improvement of combat capability will be a qualitative leap!"

As the three of them spoke, they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

As he spoke, the door of the workshop snapped open.

I saw Jiang Yan walking out with a smile.

"Ah, Chief Wang and several professors are here!" Jiang Yan stepped forward and greeted him warmly.

"Little Jiang, is the work inside done?" Chief Wang couldn't wait to ask.

"Haha, please come with me." Jiang Yanshen smiled mysteriously and led everyone to the workshop.

I saw a huge behemoth standing in the center of the workshop.

The streamlined hull, the rounded turret, and the guard-like barrel all demonstrate the majesty and uniqueness of this new weapon.

"This, is this the final product?" Chief Wang nodded again and again, staring intently at the behemoth in front of him.

"That's right, all the indicators have met the design requirements, please ask Chief Wang to accept." Jiang Yan generously invited.

Chief Wang and several experts couldn't wait to step forward and begin to carefully inspect each part.

"The shape is very beautiful and streamlined, this design idea is so unique!"

"The barrel of this caliber is also too handsome, and it looks like heavy firepower!"

"The armor is layered on top of each other, it's like a mobile fortress!"

A few people praised me every word, and they were all amazed.

Chief Wang was even more excited and speechless, and he repeatedly rubbed the hull of the tank, as if caressing a work of art.
