At that moment, fireworks flashed a kilometer away.

The faces of everyone at the scene were full of curiosity and anticipation, and many people were trying to look at it, as if they wanted to see the picture a kilometer away, but it was obvious that this was absolutely impossible.

"Buzz Buzz"

Farouk could hear the sound of his own tinnitus, but the agitation in his heart couldn't be suppressed, and even he forgot to put down his raised right hand until Wang Ye's voice sounded next to him:

"Mr. Farouk, let's go!"

"Let's go to the target position and take a look to see if our performance is a success or a failure!"

Hearing Wang Ye say this, Farouk came back to his senses, handed the 54 pistol in his hand to the consortium staff next to him, and said excitedly:

"Of course, it's my pleasure!"

Then everyone got into the car, and the distance of one kilometer passed with one foot of the accelerator, and before getting out of the car, even Wang Ye was three points uneasy in his heart.

And the reason is very simple, this gun only went through a test firing yesterday, and it was only a "launch" test, and there was no quantitative test of power at all, and even the initial velocity of the muzzle can only reflect the power of this gun when firing a stable shell-piercing shell with a tail to a certain extent, which is actually a "not reliable enough" data.

Because after the shell leaves the chamber, it will be affected by many factors in the air, the most important is wind resistance, and the current Soviet T-72 tank on this gun, in fact, the performance of the artillery body is very strong, but the design and performance of the supporting shell is actually very stretched, that is, the shell with ten times the aspect ratio, its initial velocity is considerable, but the tail velocity after two kilometers drops very much, which leads to a great reduction in its armor-piercing ability.

There are many reasons for this phenomenon, the most critical of which is its large diameter and small aspect ratio, and the deeper design and production reasons can actually be summarized into three.

On the one hand, this shell was designed and mass-produced in the mid-to-late seventies, when research on the aspect ratio was still very superficial, and the importance of the aspect ratio was not yet recognized.

The second aspect is because of the Soviet Union's "violent aesthetics" gene, if the man-hours and costs required to produce a shell ten times the length-to-diameter ratio are one, then the man-hours and costs to produce a fifteen times the length-to-diameter ratio may be five.

In addition to these two points, the most critical point is the third point, that is, the material problem, although the tail stable shelling armor-piercing bullet armor-piercing rod is now the world's mainstream tungsten alloy, and even the composition is relatively certain, at most tungsten, and then nickel, perhaps these two components can account for more than 97%, but the problem is that the remaining three percent is the key.

After all, the difference between gene sequencing between humans and chimpanzees is only two percent, but the actual performance is too bad, not to mention, the alloy composition is one thing, the manufacturing process, whether there is a sandwich, whether there is a mixture, whether it is segmented, how to heat treat it is a very complex process, this thing belongs to the field where the ratio of input and output is very exaggerated, so Lao Maozi is actually not very good, just like a MiG-25 interceptor fighter, stainless steel can fly anyway, what the hell is aluminum alloy?

"Hah! Amazing attack! ”

After the car stopped, Farouk was the first to get out of the car, he had no consciousness as a guest, and seemed to have become half a master since the shot.

With his exclamation, everyone got out of the car, and then everyone's eyes lit up!

At this moment, the time is already more than five o'clock in the evening, the sky has darkened, I saw the Type 59 tank parked in front of everyone, there is a small hole on the left side of the turret, and the entrance place, under the action of huge kinetic energy, like a blooming chrysanthemum, and even because of the high temperature at the moment of impact, there is a faint sense of redness in the dimness of the twilight, reflecting the silver-white metal that has been rolled out, which looks particularly beautiful.

At this moment, Wang Ye was also relieved to see this scene!

In any case, there is no shame, it is a great success!

Although theoretically there will be no problems with this attack performance, after all, the 59 tank used for testing belongs to the earliest 59 tank, and the thickness of the frontal armor of its turret is only more than 200 mm, and it is only the most ordinary casting steel process, in a sense, it may be similar to the scale, and the defensive effect is extremely outdated today.

After all, composite armor has begun to become popular in the world nowadays, even if the composite armor of the consortium is impressive, they can no longer look down on the glass fiber and asbestos fiber composite armor at the beginning, and began to study ceramic composite armor, special fiber material composite armor, etc., according to Wang Ye's proposal, and even in Western countries and the Soviet Union, explosive reactive armor has begun to study and small-scale equipment.

In fact, this is also the reason for the panic of Western countries, after all, the Soviet Union has tens of thousands of T-72 tanks, if they all use composite armor and explosive reactive armor, then this steel torrent can directly bulldoze the whole of Europe, so they hurriedly engaged in a 140 mm size giant tank gun, but I didn't expect that the Soviet economy has begun to collapse after seeing that the cannon is about to come out, and the Soviet economy has begun to collapse.

"I think there should be a round of applause at this time."

"Celebrate the success of our show! Mr. Farouk, I guess you have no opinion! ”

Hearing Wang Ye say this, Farouk, who was standing there staring at the turret, couldn't help laughing directly, and took the initiative to start applauding, and at the same time said in a joyful voice:

"No problem! Of course there is no problem! ”

"Such a success deserves to be celebrated with the warmest applause, hahaha!"

"Congratulations, my friend! You've made it! ”

In an instant, there was a warm applause at the scene, and Wang Ye wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, to be honest, although theoretically speaking, this performance will not be ashamed, but how it is, God knows!

And this is also the reason why Wang Ye keeps emphasizing that this is a "performance", because the performance can fail, and if it fails, it can come back, but if this is a test, it may have a greater impact on laymen, after all, they don't know what the level of this test is, and they can't present it intuitively.

After all, there is an old saying in later generations, anyway, three to zero, the dog is okay, and the key dog is also different from the dog! People who don't know how to do it only see three to zero, and only those who know how to understand it understand whether this zero is not good, or whether this three strength is too terrifying.

And in this experiment too, failures can be varied, but the layman doesn't understand, he only knows that you have failed, whether you have failed in the first 1 percent, or 99.99 percent of the time you are about to succeed, he does not understand, you can't explain clearly, the more you say, the more you want to cover up.

As for why Wang Ye took the risk to take this matter, the reason is also very simple.

Just by virtue of the current Pakistani old American M48 and Lao Tie's old 59 Lao 69, they are definitely not the opponent of India's T-72, so it is conceivable that soon they will find out about this problem, and then want to ask for help, and when the time comes, help will either find Lao Mei or Lao Tie, if Wang Ye does not make such a trip, they will most likely have to find Lao Mei, after all, Lao Tie is the most advanced, and there is only 69 at present, and there is no more advanced mass production model!

But Wang Ye did this, at least Pakistan will know that Lao Tie also has technology in his hands, maybe he will find Lao Tie, and if the test is almost done, if the situation allows, won't this business come?

"Bang Bang!"

The applause at the scene was particularly warm, after all, for the leaders and those researchers, they couldn't say anything in front of outsiders, they could only applaud all the excitement and joy!

Just when the applause was endless, suddenly an impassioned and high-pitched voice suddenly sounded!

"my God! Look! Look! ”

With this exclamation voice, everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to the past, even if Farouk couldn't understand Chinese, he could hear the joy and amazement in this voice!

In the eyes of everyone, I saw a young man standing behind the tank, as if he wanted to see what was going on behind it, and in an instant, all the attention was on the people in front of the turret, and he walked around, and suddenly everyone's faces showed expressions of amazement and ecstasy!

There is no other reason!

I saw that behind the turret of this 59 tank, a hole was actually penetrated, and the hole seemed to be pierced by an invisible hard stick, and the silver-white metal rolled up, which looked particularly charming!

"Shhh

At that moment, the scene sounded the sound of gasping cold air!

It's really this picture that is too spectacular, a tail stabilized armor-piercing bullet actually directly penetrated the turret of this old 59, leaving a penetrating hole!

"I see!"

Suddenly, Farouk, who was standing there, said, and under the gaze of everyone, he looked very professional and analyzed:

"Normally, this would not happen on the battlefield."

"Because there are a small number of shells stored in the tail of the turret of the Type 59 tank, if the incident armor-piercing rod can penetrate the frontal armor, then it will inevitably detonate the shells stored in the tail, and the final result is most likely to be a martyrdom in the cabin, and the explosion will also interfere with the flight trajectory of the armor-piercing rod, and then form a ricocheting projectile in the cabin, and there will be no such a regular penetrating picture!"

"Mr. Wang Ye, do you think my analysis is reasonable?"

Regarding Farouk's statement, Wang Ye nodded with a smile and said:

"You're right."

And the facts are actually similar to what Farouk analyzed.

After all, the front of the turret of the Type 59 tank is also the thickest part of the armor of a normal tank, with only a little more than 200 mm of armor, and the armor at the tail of the turret is even weaker, only about 80 mm, and the sum of the front and back is not enough for 300 mm, which is not a very exaggerated value, and it has fallen behind in this era.

In addition, this is an abandoned tank, the interior has been disassembled, there is no other equipment and structure in the cabin, it is a large cavity, which cannot form a sufficient barrier to the armor-piercing rod, and this situation will finally appear.

So this penetrating wound, although it looks quite shocking and very bluffing, but in fact it does not fully explain the power of armor-piercing shells, after all, today's tanks, such as the T-72 turret frontal thickness has reached 400 mm, not to mention that it also uses reactive armor, not to mention penetration, it is not easy to penetrate.

In a sense, the cannon just now can be regarded as really responding to Wang Ye's words, this is a performance!

"But anyway."

"The power of this cannon is worthy of admiration, and even it is still experimental, and I think its power will further increase with subsequent research and improvement."

Finally, Farouk said, and a deep envy could be heard in his voice.

The reason is also very simple, Pakistan is a country, perhaps because of many conflicts between India and Pakistan, so they have a strong sense of crisis, and they hope that there is enough defense industry in the country to be able to independently produce weapons and protect their own country, so in normal history, they also developed like this, such as the "Thunder Dragon" fighter jet made by Lao Tie, which is what they worked hard and hoped to get, and in the end they also succeeded in getting it.

Now, it is understandable that Farouk looks at this cannon with envy, after all, they can't say that it's a tank gun, and even ordinary small howitzers can't be produced completely independently.

"Mr. Farouk, this is the end of our visit and display today."

"Shall we go to dinner first? What do you think? ”

In the end, Wang Ye said this to Farouk, and Farouk's gaze was removed from the pierced tank turret, and then nodded and said:

"Of course, I was too excited to see it just now."

"I don't feel hungry!"

Suddenly, there was a chorus of laughter at the scene, and then everyone got into the car and rushed directly to the canteen.

After dinner, everyone returned to the conference room and sat down, Wang Ye took a document from the staff, glanced at it and said with a smile:

"Mr. Farouk, are you satisfied with the visit we arranged today?"

"If you have any questions or suggestions, you can always put them forward, after all, we are friends and can speak up!"

Hearing Wang Ye say this, Farouk took a sip of tea and said with a smile:

"I'm satisfied, there's nothing wrong with that."

Then Wang Ye nodded, pushed the document in his hand to Farouk, and then explained:

"Inside this document are the quotations for the products we visited today."

"You can choose to buy according to the mission you are carrying, and in this regard, please forgive me for not being able to give you any effective advice, after all, I don't know much about the situation in the war zone."

"Please take a careful look and make a decision!"

Under the gaze of everyone in the conference room, Farouk nodded and took the document, and then looked down to look at it, which listed the prices through a combination of photos and tables, which looked very clear and intuitive.

"Grenade weapons"

The first item listed at the top of the table is the price of three grenade weapons and grenades, which was skipped by Farouk, because this price is known to the whole world, and what Wang Ye gave himself was a nine-percent discount.

"$20,000 for a gyroplane, including maintenance and consumables."

Seeing this line, Farouk couldn't help but pause for a few seconds, according to the previous meeting, this time there would be no purchase of rotorcraft, after all, at that time, everyone thought that this thing was a "dirt plane", playing in Africa, or fighting a dozen wandering armaments may be useful, but it is impossible to use it for regular combat.

After all, the regular army is generally accompanied by air defense, and this thing flies over to attack, which is to kill you!

However, Farouk remembered what Wang Ye said in the afternoon, Wang Ye said that this kind of thing was not originally used for attacks and bombing, just because customers like to use it like this, and its original purpose was to carry out special forces delivery!

"Drop!"

When this thought flashed through Farouk's thoughts, he suddenly had an idea, an idea that he didn't have time to finish in an afternoon, that is, if this rotorcraft was really used for the delivery of the special combat team according to Wang Ye's words, and the special combat team only carried light weapons, a small number of rockets and grenades, could it cross the battle line and the mountainous area and launch a deadly sneak attack on the enemy's important targets?

It seems, yes!

At that moment, Farouk decided to invoke his mobile procurement authority and buy a part of the gyroplane!

Then his gaze continued downward, and a happy color began to appear on his face.

"Pickup truck, $3,000 each."

"The rear bucket is strengthened and has fixed anchor points, so you can directly mount various weapons?"

"Four-wheeled light transport truck, five thousand dollars a piece?"

"Six-wheeled all-terrain military off-road vehicle, eight thousand dollars each?"

"A heavy-duty transport truck costs $35,000 for the front and $15,000 for the rear bucket?"

As Farouk couldn't help but muttering to himself, the expression on his face began to become more and more enthusiastic, because the prices of these products on the list were completely beyond his expectations, not high, but low!

After all, anything can be cheapened as long as it is stained with the word military, but Wang Ye is an exception here, these products are all the prices of civilian products, and compared with the same type of products in the world, they are even much cheaper, such as that kind of heavy truck, Pakistan has bought a lot of German Mercedes-Benz companies in the past, with a load of thirteen tons and a price of thirty-two thousand dollars, while the Red Star Consortium has a load of twenty tons and the price is only thirty-five thousand dollars!

At that moment, Farouk almost couldn't help but sigh with emotion!

In the end, he vigorously suppressed his urge to sigh, and continued to look down, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and he couldn't contain it at all!

"Twelve-barrel rocket launcher nest trailer, a thousand dollars?"

"All rocket products, two thousand dollars a shot?"

"59-k fire support vehicles, a million dollars each?"

"59-m self-propelled mortars, a million dollars each?"

With the corners of Farouk's mouth raised as if he saw a bikini beauty and his voice full of surprise, Wang Ye, who was sitting opposite, explained with a smile:

"And because we're friends, you can get a 10% discount on all military products on the list, that is, in addition to vehicles."

"Whether it's a small grenade, or a big fire support vehicle or a self-propelled mortar, it's all nine percent off!"

"We focus on small profits and quick turnover!"

At that moment, Farouk couldn't hold back at all, and said with a smile:

"That's right! That's right! We're friends! ”

"We are the hardest friends in the world! The most reliable friend! ”

"Small profits, quick turnover? I like it! My friend, I like your business strategy, hahahahaha! ”

Accompanied by his hearty laughter, the leaders on the scene just showed a faint smile on their faces, obviously worthy of professionalism, but they can hold it!

Finally, a moment later, when Farouk finally laughed hard, Wang Ye stood up and said:

"Alright, Mr. Farouk, you've been tired all day today."

"Why don't you get ready to rest early!"

"Tomorrow morning, you can choose to experience our products, and in the afternoon, we will confirm the final order, what do you think?"

For Wang Ye to say this, Farouk nodded in agreement, after all, such a large amount of orders is not something that can be determined, you have to discuss and check with the team!
