In fact, it is normal for everyone present to be surprised.

Now, it is only 82 years, the world's main battle tanks are still mainly of the second generation, the electronic equipment in the car is actually very small, and there is basically no need for air conditioning to cool the equipment, and this is also one of the most important functions of the car air conditioner, and heat dissipation for the crew is secondary.

Not to mention the stupid and coarse Soviet system, as well as the Chinese system as an imitator, even if it is American, British, German and the entire Western tank, there is no talk of installing air conditioning on the tank.

And for the first time in the world, we will have to wait another nine years for the tank to be air-conditioned.

In the course of the Gulf conflict in 91, the U.S. military found that the armored units were fighting in the hot desert area, and the inside of the tank could dry to more than 70 degrees Celsius at every turn, and the soldiers were seriously dehydrated and suffered from heat stroke, so they had to start installing air conditioners.

As for Maozi, they didn't do anything after the new century, the reason is very simple, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, they have almost no need for long-range transnational operations, and their country is located in the cold zone, so they have little demand for cooling functions.

In the end, tanks were exported to the tropical country of Algeria, and at the request of the customer, they had to be fitted with air conditioning.

The reason why it is so difficult to install air conditioning on tanks can be summarized as follows.

The first point is that the equipment of backward tanks has low cooling needs, and the high temperature of soldiers can be overcome by drinking water, blowing small fans, and even steely will.

The second point is that the tank itself is a weapon of war, and all the space serves the battle, armor, artillery, loaders, shells, various equipment, and internal space are really valuable, where is the place to install air conditioning?

The air conditioner must have an internal unit and an external unit, in order to efficiently complete the exchange of hot and cold air, there is no place to put the internal machine inside the car body!

The third point is that the air conditioner is a relatively power-consuming device, and the power of the tank is very precious, so if the air conditioner is added, it will inevitably have to increase the power of the generator and use a larger on-board battery, which will further compress the "combat space".

Fourth, when the air conditioner is used for heat exchange, it will cause high temperature in the local position outside the vehicle, showing a strong infrared response, and many anti-tank missiles are infrared-guided, which will cause the tank to be more easily hit.

But there are many reasons for this, and one premise is that the tank is not advanced enough.

Enough "advanced" tank, a lot of delicate electronic equipment inside, after all, a computer has to be equipped with a few fans, and even has to be water-cooled, which shows how terrible the heat of electronic equipment is, a little heat dissipation is not smooth, high temperature is stuck, if the tank is aimed at locking when the system is stuck, it is really a big joke, so at that level, the car air conditioner is a necessary equipment.

Not for people, for equipment!

After all, the crew can rely on the iron will to resist, but what if there is no iron will? For example, those young masters and soldiers of the big dog family, then they can only coordinate the installation of air conditioning!

At this moment.

Seeing Wang Ye say so solemnly in front of herself, Sun Xiuli nodded heavily with a small face and said:

"Yes! Director! ”

At present, Sun Xiuli is in charge of the technical affairs of the entire manufacturing plant, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the head of the technical section, but in any case, she is only a girl who is less than 20 years old, and her education is only high school and the college entrance examination has dropped out.

In the past, when the factory produced electric fan washing machines, she was still at ease, and she could also ponder what products of the radio Wang Ye explained, but now she still has great pressure to hold meetings with these professor-level old people.

Wang Ye is very clear about her pressure, but this is the only way to transform.

If she can find a way to survive, then her future is a smooth road, if one day she asks Wang Ye to apply for a change of guard, Wang Ye has nothing to say, a stable and leisurely life is also what people want, but at the moment she is doing very well, Wang Ye just wants to wait and see what happens.

When Sun Xiuli's words fell, the old man, who was a big bull in the field of optoelectronics, looked at Wang Ye and asked:

"Director, it makes sense that the tank needs a display screen, but this air conditioner."

"Is there any way to say that?"

It is really the shadow of a famous tree, Wang Ye is not only a thing with outstanding vision, first-class means, and super scientific research ability, everyone present has heard of it, so no one can despise Wang Ye's reason for saying this.

In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Wang Ye explained with a smile:

"It's easy to say, but it's actually just two points."

"The first point is that it is obvious that the modernization of the future tank is the inevitable development of electronic technology, which I think everyone should recognize, so as more and more electronic equipment is added to the car, heat dissipation has become a problem."

"In my opinion, either add a water cooling system or use air conditioning, after all, the equipment is hot, but it won't work properly."

"As for whether there are other ideas, you can brainstorm ideas."

For Wang Ye's statement, many researchers in related fields present have revealed something that suddenly dawned, and the reason why they couldn't think of paying attention to this angle and problem in the past is nothing more than because the tank has no electronic equipment now, and the heat is not worth mentioning, but it is indeed as Wang Ye said, according to the current development trajectory, there will inevitably be such a day in the future.

"The second point is that our weapons will be exported in the future to earn foreign exchange, so in everyone's opinion, who is our biggest potential buyer in the future? Or which countries in the world are very rich and could be our big customers? ”

In the face of Wang Ye's question, everyone present looked at each other, don't look at them as weapons, but for arms sales, they basically belong to a state of knowing only one thing, after all, in the past, there was no arms sales in China, only foreign support, and arms sales are also in recent years, but they are all led by the Ministry of Defense and other ministries and commissions, and the technical personnel know very little.

"Tanzania? Algeria? Albania? Iro? ”

Then Wang Ye got many answers from everyone's mouths, and Wang Ye nodded with a smile, shook his head and said:

"You're right, these are really our important customers, or potential customers."

"But definitely not our biggest customer!"

After Wang Ye finished speaking, he looked at Li Baojun next to him, Li Baojun was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said:

"Saudi! Kuwait! Qatar! Oman! U.A.E! ”

"Countries in desert areas are likely to become our most important customers, because they are located in the land of four wars, have experienced many desert wars, and the conflicts of regional ethnicities, beliefs, and resources are very fierce, and there is a great demand for weapons."

"And they have money, the ground is full of oil, oil is an international hard currency, and we will go to the desert to do business in the future!"

"It's all what the factory director told me before, and I memorized it all."

In the end, in the face of the burning eyes of so many old people, Li Baojun was also under a lot of pressure, and after finishing speaking, he swallowed his saliva, pointed to Wang Ye, who was sitting in the first place, and then explained.

Taking advantage of Li Baojun's strength, Wang Ye picked up the teacup and took a sip, before continuing:

"Desert areas, located in the tropics and subtropics, coupled with the high temperature of the desert, lead to a very strong demand for on-board air conditioning and refrigeration."

"As I said before, for different customers, we need to provide the right products that can meet the needs of each other, so that we can facilitate transactions and earn foreign exchange that others can't earn."

"And they're not short of money, so air conditioning is an essential option."

"Now do you understand why I said that?"

Accompanied by Wang Ye's voice, for a while, some people in the conference room nodded, some people were dazed, and some people were thinking, Wang Ye didn't care about this, and then coughed lightly before continuing:

"When it comes to research, the last project is the metals lab."

"In fact, in the era of the Red Star Machinery Factory, I set up a metal laboratory, but for various reasons, the metal laboratory was just an empty shell and had no technical output."

"But then, this will be the focus of our scientific research direction, and I decided to change its name to the Special Materials Project Group, and we will not only work on metals, but also other industrial materials."

"Because materials are the foundation of industry, if you can't handle materials, everything else is empty talk!"

"At present, I will be personally responsible for this project, and the first project to be launched is electroslag remelting technology!"

Hearing Wang Ye say this, many people present nodded frequently in agreement, but their expressions were also very solemn, those who are engaged in industry know that materials are king, but if you want to overcome the difficulties of materials, it is tantamount to ascending to the sky!

To a certain extent, the experiment of materials science is a process of trial and error, and the "relatively best" solution may be after the next experiment, maybe after a thousand experiments, maybe after 10,000 experiments, or maybe after 100 million experiments, no one knows.

The high experimental investment, the long return cycle, and the accumulation of pre-technology have stumped and dismantled countless project teams.

"Director, do you want to engage in tank guns?"

After a moment of silence, the artillery expert sitting there hesitated to say this, Wang Ye did not deny this, nodded and said:

"That's right."

Just as Wang Ye's words fell, the expert was just about to say something, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, Wang Ye shouted in, and then the door of the conference room was pushed open, it was the girl who often served tea and poured water for the big guys in the old conference room.

At present, she is temporarily acting as Wang Ye's orderly, herald, and secretary on duty, her name is Bai Tingyu, but she is actually just a girl in her early twenties, and she said with a smile at the moment:

"Factory director, Director Li is here, just over there at the registration office at the door."

"Would you like to come over and receive you?"

Hearing Bai Tingyu say this, Wang Ye nodded to indicate that he understood, and then explained with a smile to the old people who were slightly puzzled:

"Director Li who Xiaobai said just now is the deputy director of our Yuntai Industrial Bureau, the director of the Industrial Development Office, and the superior direct leader of our consortium, and he has helped our consortium a lot in the past."

"But it has nothing to do with everyone, I'll just go to the reception, and everyone can be busy with whatever they want."

"In that case, then today's conference is over, anyway, everything that should be said has been said, and the rest is the internal problems of each department, you plan and coordinate to solve them internally, and report to me if there are problems."

"Now I'll go first, go to the door and simply receive Director Li!"

In the end, Wang Ye stood up, pressed the table and said with a smile, and many old people were very satisfied with Wang Ye's arrangement, and then Wang Ye and the old factory director and other administrative personnel rushed towards the gate of the consortium.

Meanwhile.

Yanjing, the fifth machine department, the office of the old man Zhou Jinlie.

"Huh? Laughing at me? What is Wang Ye going to do with this kid? Buy the chassis of the 59 tank? Don't want turrets? Preferably second-hand? The cheaper, the better? And twenty more? ”

Just as the old man Zhou Jinlie was looking at Wang Ye's application submitted through Director Liang's channel, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Enter!"

Accompanied by Zhou Jinlie's old man's voice, I saw a staff member walk in, and said excitedly at the same time:

"Good news! Good news! Tanzania has added another order! ”

"And this time to put it bluntly, you can use gold or ore for delivery, the amount is quite large!"

The joy on the face of the old man Zhou Jinlie, who was sitting there in an instant, became bigger and bigger, and he hurriedly said to the staff:

"Quick! Show me! ”

After the old man Zhou Jinlie took the telegram and read it seriously, he couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Good! All right! This is a big order, the war over there is tight, and there can be no delay, so hurry up and send it to Wang Ye, let him deal with it as soon as possible, and it is best to give priority to delivery, this is our big customer! ”

"Gotta take good care of it!"

Hearing the old man Zhou Jinlie say this, the staff member who had been waiting in the office for a long time asked hesitantly:

"What about the tank chassis, should we give it or not?"

In this regard, the old man Zhou Jinlie waved his hand and said directly:

"What not to give? Sell! That's selling! ”

"200,000 yuan a piece, love or not!"

Just after the staff nodded, and then left in a hurry, Wang Ye and the others also came to the gate, only to see Director Li and his driver hanging around at the door, with an intoxicated expression.

"You kid, you're doing a good job!"

"And what's there to sell over there? It's too fragrant, isn't it? ”

"There are still sodas? I heard that you still drink it casually? You're generous enough! ”

"I'm too embarrassed to go and take a look."

The first time he saw Wang Ye, Director Li shook Wang Ye's hand vigorously and said, since the mechanical factory merged with the steel plant, Director Li has never been here, and when he came again today, he found that everything had changed, although he had already expected it, but he still couldn't help but sigh.

"Didn't you live up to your expectations?"

"Has our Red Star Machinery Factory changed a lot?"

"Let's go, there are snacks sold over there, filling the stomachs of students and parents, it just so happens that I am also hungry, I invite you to eat fried sausages and drink soda!"

Wang Ye couldn't help but say, pulled Director Li to the vicinity of the stall, and asked for fried sausages and soda, originally Director Li was quite embarrassed, but after looking around, it seemed that they were all eating like this, and finally he was calm.

The two of them were eating while standing, and at the same time, Director Li said with a smile:

"Come today, I won't leave in the evening, waiting for your opening ceremony tomorrow."

"But I have bad news for you!"

Hearing this, Wang Ye swallowed the fried sausage in his mouth, pretended to be surprised and curious and asked:

"What's the bad news?"

I saw Director Li pointing in one direction with a soda, and said with a slight joking:

"Your electric fan competitors are here."

"The Yuntai shipyard has also got the electric fan out!"
