Chapter 1692 Heavy Firepower Armored Transport Vehicle (Second update, please subscribe)
While the first national car was launched, although it has only been more than ten years, SEA's car ownership has exceeded 17 million NT mark.
As the world's second largest automobile country, although there is still a big gap compared to the United States' 120 million vehicles in terms of quantity, cars have long become a means of transportation for thousands of households.
At the same time, many people still choose public transportation. There are very convenient rail transit in SEA, with subways and light rail intersecting, connecting the city with satellite cities.
Sometimes, rail transit is even more convenient than private cars.
In the subway car, the lights are soft and bright, and the friction between the wheels and the tracks echo regularly in the ears. Wang Mingyuan was looking down at the newspaper when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
"Mingyuan? Is it you?"
He raised his head and saw a familiar face - Li Qingxin, his high school classmate. Li Qingxin was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, holding a briefcase in his hand, and a surprise smile on his face. "Qingxin!" Wang Mingyuan immediately stood up, the two shook hands, and then sat together.
"What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here!" Li Qingxin said with a smile, his tone with the excitement of meeting again after a long separation.
"Yes, it's been a long time since we met."
Wang Mingyuan also laughed,
"How are you doing recently?"
"It's okay. I work in Nanyang Defense Equipment Company and mainly do some equipment designs." Li Qingxin replied, with a hint of pride in his tone.
"Nanyang Defense Equipment? That's a big company!"
Wang Mingyuan raised his eyebrows, with envy in his tone. Nanyang Defense Equipment - the largest military-industrial enterprise, a subsidiary of North Borneo Company, can it not be a large company?
Li Qingxin smiled and asked:
"Where are you?" Wang Mingyuan said in a relaxed tone: "I do public relations and specialize in helping some companies 'tailored problems'." "'Customized problems'?" Li Qingxin repeated it in some confusion.
"What exactly is it to solve?"
Wang Mingyuan smiled mysteriously: "It is to help the company deal with some... special needs. For example, crisis public relations, resource integration, etc. In short, it is to help them deal with problems that are inconvenient to deal with."
Although Li Qingxin was a little confused, he didn't ask too much, just nodded:
"It sounds quite interesting. But your job is much more flexible than mine. I draw and modify pictures on the drawing board all day long, and I almost become a robot."
Wang Mingyuan laughed:
"Everyone has their own fun. By the way, let's leave a contact information to get together more when you have the opportunity."
The two exchanged phone numbers, and of course the most popular emails, and then talked about interesting stories from high school. The atmosphere in the carriage was relaxed and pleasant, as if time had just returned to more than ten years ago.
Soon, after the subway arrived at the station, Li Qingxin stood up and patted Wang Mingyuan on the shoulder: "I have to get off the car, let's chat another day!"
"Okay, stay in touch!" Wang Mingyuan waved his hand and watched Li Qingxin walk out of the car.
Li Qingxin walked out of the subway station, but he was still thinking about what Wang Mingyuan said about "Taiwan's problem solving". He always felt that something seemed to be hidden behind this sentence, but he couldn't explain it clearly. Shaking his head, he decided not to think about it anymore and walked towards the company quickly.
When he arrived at the company, Li Qingxin immediately devoted himself to work. He stood in front of the drawing board and recalled the design drawings of the 8*8-wheeled armored vehicle.
Three years ago, the SEA Ministry of Defense proposed to develop new armored vehicles, requiring the use of wheeled vehicles - compared with traditional tracked armored vehicles, the handling and maneuverability of wheeled armored vehicles is more flexible. This allows it to maneuver quickly under various complex terrain conditions. Of course, SEA's own highway network is very developed, and wheeled armored vehicles have strong road mobility and long range.
After weighing the pros and cons, the military chose wheeled armored vehicles and put forward the requirement to develop 4×4 or 6×6 armored conveyor vehicles. In the same year, the prototype 6×6 armored conveyor vehicle developed by Foton Company was selected by the military.
Last year, during a military operation in Java, the military seized several Soviet BTR-60 armored vehicles. Although this wheeled armored vehicle is weak and the rear engine makes it inconvenient for personnel to get on and off, the superior passing performance of the 8×8 armored vehicle still makes the military quite excited.
So while testing the 6×6 armored conveyor vehicle, Foton also required to develop an 8×8 armored conveyor vehicle on the basis.
Soon, Foton launched the 8×8 armored conveyor vehicle. During the military's testing it, new requirements were put forward for the problems of the armored vehicle's slightly insufficient bearing capacity and the inability to equip heavy weapons.
While testing the armored vehicles, the military proposed to equip them with heavy weapons.
"We need a new heavy fire armored transport vehicle with a caliber cannon above 20 mm as the main gun!"
The heavy fire armored transport vehicle!
In the Java military operation, the military was very dissatisfied with the M113's poor firepower - the Point 50 machine gun. So there was a requirement for heavy fire armored vehicles.
Obviously, this is not just a direct turret onto an armored vehicle, but a turret is needed. The military's requirement is to design a "universal turret" that can be installed on an M113 tracked armored vehicle or an 8×8 armored conveyor vehicle. Although Foton is the best heavy-duty automobile manufacturer, it has no experience in designing turrets, so it thought of cooperating with Nanyang Defense Equipment Company.
The design team where Li Qingxin is located is responsible for this task.
Because of his youth, Li Qingxin had some unexpected ideas when designing the turret.
Start carefully checking the details of the turret section. The stability of the turret, the integration of the fire control system, the protection ability of the armor... every detail needs to be repeatedly pondered and optimized.
"Qingxin, how is the turret adjusted?"
The colleague came over and asked. "The current plan still has some problems, and I am trying to find a way to optimize it." Li Qingxin replied without raising his head, staring at the drawings of the armored vehicle. There are many factors to consider when designing a universal turret. "Thank you for your hard work, this project is time-consuming, we have to hurry up."
"I understand." Li Qingxin nodded, his eyes still staring at the armored vehicle.

In his mind, the design drawings of the turret were constantly rotating, decomposing and reorganizing. The size, material, and weight of each part are accurately adjusted in his calculations.
"Are you sure you want to use a 30mm main gun?"
The colleague picked up a photo from the drawing board, which was a MK100 gun.
This 30mm cannon was developed by the military for armed helicopters. In order to give it anti-tank capabilities, it used powerful ammunition. The 30x184 ammunition was developed based on similar German shells in World War II, and the shell shell was thicker and more powerful.
"Yes, that's it,"
Li Qingxin nodded and said:
"When the military designed it, the armor-piercing bombs it used could easily penetrate 50mm of armor, and now we are still designing a new tail-stabilized armor-piercing bomb, which has more powerful armor-piercing capabilities.
Using it as the main gun can give the armored vehicle a certain anti-armor capability."
Listening to Li Qingxin's thoughts, the colleague said: "But it is very heavy and very large. The military requires only 20 mm." "20 mm is too small, and the amount of the grenade is only a dozen grams. As for the armor-piercing bomb, it can only penetrate more than 20 mm thick armor, which is basically a decoration." Li Qingxin said in a disdainful tone, thought for a moment and said: "There is a Western proverb that even ten pregnant women cannot give birth to children in one month. This sentence is used here, even ten cannons with a depth of 20 mm cannot penetrate 30 mm thick armor."
His answer made his colleague smile and retort:
"Use 30mm machine guns to produce armor that cannot be worn through tanks."
"But using light tanks is like cutting melons and vegetables. In combat, armored vehicles can take advantage of their maneuverability. It can still be done to attack the weak parts of the tank's armor. It can destroy its engine or sighting equipment with a few points of fire."
Li Qingxin has his own idea of the use of heavy fire armored vehicles. His idea is very simple - firepower is the first. If it weren't for the 35mm anti-aircraft gun that could not be installed into the turret, he would even want to install it.
"The most important thing is anti-tank missiles."
The colleague put the photo on the drawing board and said: "If you want to attack the main battle tank, just install anti-tank missiles on the turret." Li Qingxin nodded and said: "Yes, but it's always a bit of harm to have stronger firepower,"

...
At the same time, Wang Mingyuan, who had just taken the subway, has already transferred to the high-speed rail at the station, which is also the most convenient place for the subway. You can transfer to the high-speed rail at the same station. For many people on business trips on the island, they often prefer to take the high-speed rail.
After entering the business class of the high-speed rail and finding a seat to sit down, Wang Mingyuan took out a file from his briefcase, opened the folder, looked at the photos in the file, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Lin Caihan, 32 years old, Kuching Immigration Bureau..."
Looking through the information, Wang Mingyuan nodded from time to time. Finally, when he saw the information about Lin Caihan's family on the information, the corner of his mouth raised slightly and said softly: "Okay, this matter is done!"
As he spoke, he stuffed the file back into his briefcase. This task was simply too simple and was not difficult at all.
"I'm not afraid of you being greedy, I'm afraid you don't need it..."
For so many years, he has long understood what the core of this job is - need it!
Just just provide what the other party needs, and more often, people's needs are a kind of desire!
He looked at the plantation passing by quickly outside the window and whispered to himself:
"Taiwan's problem...it's just to provide you with some services."
The sun shines through the car windows and reflects on Wang Mingyuan's face. The corners of his mouth are raised, and his smile looks particularly mysterious.
