Chapter 183: This is how the winter tank is activated
The west gate of the capital, at the foot of Yan Mountain.
To the north is a towering hillside, to the south is the winding National Highway 110, and the open space in the middle is covered with snow, on which you can see the traces of a very tracked run-over, and the closer you get to a certain area, the more traces there are.
When you get to this area, you can see tanks with high barrels, neatly arranged outside the barracks, five pairs of load-bearing wheels, round turrets, and gun barrels without smoking devices, which can be recognized at a glance, this is the largest production of 59 tanks in the East.
The barracks were still quiet, as if they were sleeping, but when the first rays of the morning sun fell, a loud voice suddenly sounded: "Urgent attack!" ”
The camp, which had just been quiet, suddenly became lively, and the flow of people rushed out of the dormitory and rushed towards a certain room, which hung a big sign: battery room.
A moment later, the crowd ran out of the battery room again, and when they went in, it was a single person, and when they came out, it was already a row of people.
Four people in a row, they hold hands... No, between their hands, they each carried a rectangular thing, which looked heavy, and the strings on both sides were tightly tightened. On the shell of this black thing, the words 6TKA155A are written, and there is 12V155AH handwriting underneath.
As long as you look at these, you can know that this is the most important part of the tank: the starting battery, referred to as the battery, is the same as the old lead-acid battery electric vehicle, but it is larger, one is eighty pounds, and four pieces need to be used on the 59 tank!
The two people on the side only carry one side of one of them, and they are relatively lightweight, so they are generally the shortest drivers and car captains, and the middle two are miserable, and they need to open the bow left and right: the left hand and the right hand, each carrying one end of the battery, so as to complete the task of four people carrying three batteries!
Moreover, since it is an emergency attack, it can't be slow, you need to run!
The soldiers in the army were holding back their strength, and no one wanted to admit defeat, so they came out with the battery, ran desperately, rushed to their tank panting, and then put down the battery.
The two men in the middle turned their heads and ran back again, carrying the last battery, and the driver, who had just been carrying only one piece outside, ran into the tank, untied the tarp, and the other commander, who was carrying only one piece, opened the turret door and got in.
There was a creaking sound, and the turret began to turn to the left, which was also almost a unified step, and all the tanks were rotating at the same time, brushing in unison, and it looked very spectacular.
The barrels of the guns that had been all forward were all shaken to the left 90 degrees, and the commander opened the preparatory door at the bottom of the tank inside, and the driver had already connected the external power supply, and the car became bright.
The cooperation between the two was very tacit, the commander drilled out of the preparatory door, pulled the battery under the preparatory door, and the driver also got in, helped pull the battery into the inside of the tank, and began to connect the battery.
When the 59 tank was first equipped with troops, the soldiers also used to use the way of loading batteries from the driver's cabin, but it soon became clear that this method was not good, after all, the battery was too heavy, and it was very troublesome to lift it up and down, and it had to be cooperated by four people, and once the battery was tilted, the sulfuric acid in it might flow out, flow to the clothes, and it was good to say, to the skin, or even to the face, then it was over, if the battery fell to the ground, it was an accident.
Therefore, after some research and pondering, the tank soldiers found the installation method of the preparatory door at the bottom of the hull, the battery rack is next to the preparatory door, it is very easy to lift the battery, and only two people can complete it, so that the remaining two people can go back to carry the last battery.
When the fourth battery is lifted, the first three batteries are already installed.
At the same time as the fourth battery was installed, the other two people also began to get busy, helping to start the engine together, first pressing the alarm, then manually turning on the oil, turning on the preheating device, and when everything was almost done, half an hour passed.
The most exciting moment has arrived: the launch!
Tanks hummed their engines, puffs of black smoke came out of the exhaust pipes, and the driver's feet pressed on the accelerator so hard that he wanted to step into the tank.
If you're lucky, you'll hear a rhythmic vibration from the back of the tank, indicating that the engine has started! This also indicates that the emergency assembly operation is finally over, and then, you can sit comfortably and gasp for breath, waiting for the tank to run for about ten minutes before it can be started.
The tankers gasped and looked at the unlucky ones: one of the tanks did not start successfully three times in a row!
Every time it starts, the battery is discharged with high current, so it can't last too long, and the number of times at the same time can't be too much, otherwise it will permanently damage the battery, so what should I do next?
Of course, remove the battery and go to the battery room to change the spare battery!
It's tiring enough to lift once, these people have to lift three times!
Watching the four unlucky guys run in and out in a hurry, in the winter, they even threw their tank caps aside, always sweating on their heads, and the eyes of the big guys were full of sympathy.
As they continued to idle, their eyes looked at the snow not far away.
A few days ago, there was an extra tank there.
Below are six pairs of load-bearing wheels, the driver is in the middle of the hull, the barrel sticking out of the turret is thick and long, and what is even more strange is that the outside of this tank is full of breadcubes!
What kind of tank is this?
They didn't know the model, but they knew that the tank must be a secret, because before the tank arrived, they had already received orders not to approach the tank, let alone talk about it!
It's just that for the past few days, the tank has not been dispatched, and it has been quietly parked there, as if waiting for something.
At this moment, on National Highway 110 in the distance, several cars drove quickly, and those cars were boxy, like boxes, and they looked very high-end.
The commander of the tank unit, Feng Jinxi, who was also short in stature, ran out of the warm room, and he didn't even have time to put on his military coat, and when he ran to the camp gate, he only had time to salute, and the convoy drove in and drove towards the miraculous tank.
The car stopped, and a group of people got out of it, almost all of them very old, who seemed to be senior leaders of the troops.
Wait, there are also familiar faces among them, is that person Yang Lao?
Yang Lao smiled and circled around the tank.
"It's not interesting to see that disassembled tank in your 201, it's better to come here and see this tank that works!" Elder Yang said: "Lao Zhu, how long will it take for this tank to start?" ”
"A minute." Zhu Lao said, waving his hand to a young technician beside him, who took off his military coat and got into the cockpit of the tank.
Then, the engine at the tail whistled and sounded like an airplane.
The other tankmen knew about secrecy, so they didn't look that way, but they could hear it! They were stunned when they heard the distinctive roar of that tank, how could it be so fast?
Their 59 tank starts in winter, it takes a full half an hour, and what about the unique tank next to it? It was parked in the snow and ice for several days, and it was the most difficult to start, and it might even need to be heated by a fire.
That tank did not change the battery, did not do any preparations! Relying on the original battery, I am afraid that only about one-third of the power storage capacity is left, and in this way, it is a successful start, or a successful start!
At this time, the unlucky guys are still humming and carrying the battery out, ready to do a second round, if the restart is not successful, then they have to change to the third round.
Just as they were carrying the battery, the roar of the plane became louder, and the sound of crawlers rattling in the snow was heard!
Everyone was shocked.
Nima, start when you come up, start when you start? Don't you need to warm up? Running like this, you can't hold the bearings?
They didn't dare to turn their heads to look, but if the tank was going to go out, it would inevitably drive away in front of them, and they still had a chance to see it.
The howling grew louder and louder, and the special tank came to their side, swept past them, rushed out of the camp, and rushed into the snowfield, and everyone looked at the tank with wide eyes.
Hurry, too fast!
It's not that it's fast, it's fast! As if there was no need to change gears, it jumped out all of a swoop, and when it encountered the uphill slope, it was obvious that the engine came out of black smoke, and it would suffocate to death at the moment, but looking at the state of the tank, there was still no shift action, and it continued to rush forward, and after the tank passed with black smoke, it was magically gasped again.
This engine is too strong, isn't it?
"Report to the leader, Unit 1872 is preparing for routine winter training, please instruct!" Feng Jinxi's voice sounded.
The superior leaders came a lot, and they didn't say hello in advance, and after they came, they ran directly to the tank here, Feng Jinxi didn't interject, and now, ten minutes have passed, and his tank has been warmed up, so should he continue training next, or park the tank and wait for the tank to finish performing before training?
"Keep training!" Elder Yang said: "You train yours, we test ours, and we don't interfere with each other." ”
Undisturbed?
Feng Jinxi didn't understand what this meant, the tank training ground was so big, if the training scope was not demarcated, it would definitely interfere with each other, he had to give an order, let the tankers pay attention to the training and stay away from the tank.
Thinking of this, he looked at the tank, and then his eyes widened, where did the tank go? The tank actually went up a steep hill! The tank actually went inside the shooting range?
The training ground is at the foot of the mountain, this side is flat land, for the tank to carry out driving training, piggyback can also be trained on the slope below, the upper slope has been changed to a shooting range, standing a variety of targets, because the top is too steep, so, the 59 tank can not climb up at all, so that driving training and target training will not interfere, and will not cause danger, as for the target is not at the same height? Tankers, of course, have to take these elements into account.
What now?
The tank that tested its performance actually drove on the shooting range!
The engine in the tail was roaring, belching puffs of black smoke, and everyone watched with wide eyes and incredulity.
The 59 tank can only climb a slope of twenty or thirty degrees under normal circumstances, and the slope over there has exceeded thirty-one degrees, so how did the tank climb up?
Of course, it relies on the advantages of gas turbines!
Here, Yang Lao and the others were watching the charge of the tank intently, and Zhu Lao was introducing it on the side.
"Compared with the diesel engine, the gas turbine has a great advantage, its power turbine and the front compressor are not directly connected, so it will never hold the engine, even if it encounters obstacles, the speed is reduced from 10,000 to several hundred revolutions, the engine will continue to work until it leaves the obstacle, the engine starts fast, the power is sufficient, climbing or anything is not a problem, if you take the zigzag route, even more than 40 degrees of slope can climb."
A total of two tanks were obtained, one was placed directly in Huaishuling, for the technicians to study, and the other was sent here for testing, a few days ago they didn't care, so they put this one aside, today, Yang Lao they were full of interest, so Zhu Lao and others accompanied them together.
Now, Zhu Lao introduced the results of the past few days, and he was very emotional.
With the ability of the big guy, it's good to get the T-72, thanks to Mr. Qin, we got the T-80, in Lao Maozi's equipment, these two tanks are high and low, and the T-80 is a high-end model.
The tank finished its climb and rushed down again, and as it swerved, the turret turned, and the muzzle was aimed at one of the targets.
At this time, the tankers below had already driven the 59 tank out, slowly, many commanders were looking at the tank with envious eyes, and when the barrel was aimed at the target, they were stunned again, this is to hit the target?
Unit 1872 also often hit targets, however, there is a fixed routine for target shooting, the 59 tank rumbles for a while, then stops, aims, fires, and then starts, if you want to shoot quickly, it is just the driver's foot on the clutch, and suddenly stop and fire.
That tank was actually going to fire on the move? It's not easy!
Just as they were watching, a fireball suddenly erupted from the muzzle of the tank gun.
Rumble!
Shoot on the march!
The shells flew out of the barrel and towards the target in the distance.
Rumble!
The next moment, the red flag planted on the target was gone, and the entire target was knocked away.
Didn't stop, fired directly, and actually hit it? What kind of tank is this?
"Lao Maozi's tank has long been able to shoot on the move, using the same stable image scheme as the West." Zhu Lao introduced: "In comparison, Lao Maozi's tank is not inferior to the West, except that the night combat device is a little worse. ”
"Well, this tank looks good. Zhu Lao, can we imitate this engine? ”
"Mr. Qin said that we are not suitable for gas turbines."
"Did he say it again?" Yang Lao frowned, the helicopter was imitated, he said that we can't imitate it ourselves, and now the gas turbine of the tank, he said that we are not suitable, these equipment are all obtained by him, what is the result? He actually said that none of this was appropriate?
"When I go back, I will stop by the Pingwang Motorcycle Factory to have a look." Yang Lao said: "I have to go to him in person to theorize theories, how can he say that these advanced things are not suitable?" ”
"Elder Yang, we have analyzed it, what he said makes sense, it is really inappropriate."
"What do you say? Does he have a point? What's the point in him? Old Yang's eyes widened: "What do you know, young man, you have to knock and knock to save him from working hard." ”
Everyone suddenly realized that Yang always wanted to see how great Qin Feng's potential was.
In the afternoon of the same day.
The weather is cold, and there is no one in sight in the countryside in the suburbs, all huddled in their homes waiting for the New Year, while the factories in the suburbs are still lively.
Pingwang Motorcycle Factory is full of horsepower, the production line is busy, the faces of the workers are filled with happy smiles, not only the salary is twice that of peers, the New Year's goods are also twice that of peers, this will be the most comfortable New Year they live!
In the workshop next to the motorcycle production line, some people are also busy, the modification of the four is not a streamlined operation, or a station type, and there are several workers in each station who are busy, producing unique Oriental Dragon brand trucks.
Near this workshop, in a warehouse, there are still some people sweating like rain.
They were busy around a chassis.
The Hummer is very wide, but the chassis girder is not wide, it is just that the engine and transmission assembly are placed in it, and the occupants of the car sit outside the girder.
The biggest benefit of this is the reduction in vehicle height.
The city SUV has been scolded by a group of so-called experts for a long time as a pseudo-off-road, a car without girders, can it be called an off-road vehicle? The brick family never opens their eyes, and the customers who buy urban SUVs are not there to go to the wild at all, but just to have a wide body to put things and occasionally go on the road. What kind of off-road do ordinary people play, aren't they afraid of overturning? The Prado is a hardcore off-road vehicle, and it also has the title of the king of rollovers.
Before the body stability system, Prado's car with girders is easy to overturn, because of the girders, the body is pulled up, the center of gravity is moved up, even the Cherokee knows the defects of the girder, so the original load-bearing body of the hard off-road, only at the bottom of the body more than 2 thickened steel plate composed of longitudinal beams.
The Hummer definitely needs girders, but the height of the body also has to be low, so it is designed to be such a structure that when the car runs over a mine, the occupants will definitely greet the designer's family.
One of the young men wiped the sweat from his forehead, but accidentally wiped the oil from his hands, and he became a big face.
"Okay, finally the chassis is made, and then a shell is set up, and it will live, this car must also be called the Oriental Dragon, but it has to be followed by a suffix, what is it called? Dragon Knight? No, a motorcycle is called a knight. ”
"What can be a rare thing to live with Mr. Qin." At this moment, a loud voice came from outside: "Mr. Qin, do you always like to say no recently?" ”
