Chapter 84 Gao Zhendong’s small class has begun
Thinking of this, Gao Zhendong had a flash of inspiration in his head, and simply told these tankers some characteristics of future tanks in advance. There was no way he could do this. , then come up with ideas. Maybe they won’t be used now, but maybe they will be used by the next generation, so we can avoid detours.
And some of these concepts can eliminate homogeneous steel armor early. Although this generation of tanks cannot solve the problem, it is still better than what we saw in the previous life, where the next generation of tanks still has not solved the problem.
So, Gao Zhendong weighed his tone and said: "Mr. Guan, you just heard that I was on the battlefield before. At that time, when my comrades and I were holding explosive bags to blow up enemy tanks, We're just looking forward to it, if only we have enough tanks."
Before Mr. Guan answered, Staff Lin and his friends' eyes turned red.
Gao Zhendong changed the subject: "So, I didn't think much about this thing during the breaks between battles."
Mr. Guan's eyes lit up: "Practice is the best teacher, Gao Gong, at that time you were as a The opponents of tanks must have their own considerations about tanks. Let’s talk about it. Let’s study hard.”
After saying that, he took out his notebook and pen, as if he was asking for advice humbly and preparing to record it.
Gao Zhendong himself didn't understand things like transmission and engine, and it would not improve the situation at all if he told them. However, he still remembered some other things.
Gao Zhendong thought and said: "At that time, I remember that once the engine was blown up by us, the Citizen Devils would not repair the tank again even if they temporarily regained control of the battlefield. Because it is very difficult to disassemble the engine and gearbox, I thought, if the engine and gearbox can be made into a unit that is easy to lift and replace directly, will this situation be improved? ”
In fact, Gao Zhendong said this because he remembered what he saw in his previous life. Foreign trade tanks went to foreign customers for testing, but they were eliminated because they did not have an overall power package. Fortunately, other aspects were good, and the customer's international environment changed, and in the end, it went round and round. The tanks were still sold, but a batch of orders were still lost.
And the idea of the overall power package, whether for takeout or for personal use, is a way to improve the rapid maintenance capabilities on the battlefield. Future international third-generation tanks will generally use this technology, and it is not purely for takeout.
Mr. Guan thought while taking notes: "Well, yes, yes, this is a good idea. It is very good for rapid repairs on the battlefield. People who have been on the battlefield personally have different ideas from those of us behind closed doors. Zhendong , you continue.”
“When we fight enemy tanks, if we can choose, we will definitely choose tanks with more braids on their heads.”
For this, Mr. Guan was completely confused: "Huh? Why is this?"
Gao Zhendong smiled. This is really a purely practical problem, and it is completely unexpected from a technical point of view: "Because there are many braids, it means that there should be the enemy's commander inside. If they are removed, the command of the enemy tanks will be disrupted." < br>
The pigtails Gao Zhendong mentioned are actually the communication antennas of tanks. Because of communication needs, command tanks often have a few more pigtails than ordinary tanks.
All tanks are equipped with camouflage antennas, which was originally one of the improvements added when the 5DL tank was later improved.
Mr. Guan suddenly realized: "Ah, I understand. The tanks under command should have more communication equipment to be easily recognized. Yes, yes, a camouflage antenna should be added to all tanks so that the enemy can distinguish them. I can’t tell who is who.”
Mr. Guan wrote quickly in his notebook.
Factory Director Yang, Lao Chen, and Staff Lin next to them were even more impressed. They knew when an expert made a move. Although Gao Zhendong himself did not engage in tanks, what he said was very close to actual combat in terms of tank design. experience.
Gao Zhendong continued to talk about some things he still remembered in his head, such as infrared headlights, two-way stabilization, automatic fire extinguishing and explosion suppression systems, laser ranging, automatic calculation, collective three-proof devices, etc.
Of course, Gao Zhendong did not mention things like millimeter-wave radar + hard-kill active defense system that would not be reliable for decades. Although some matters were not within Mr. Guan's professional scope and were related to other subsystems, he still wrote down Gao Zhendong's words very seriously.
What Gao Zhendong said are all aspects of experience or suggestions. Remember it more. If other professionals can achieve it, they may be able to kill one more enemy and save one more. A warrior.
As we talked, the topic returned to Mr. Guan’s professional scope.
"Mr. Guan, do you think we can embed some screws or weld some screws outside the turret or on the front of the car body?"
Gao Zhendong originally wanted to say about welding the turret. , but after thinking about it carefully, at this time, the difficulty and cost of welding the turret is much higher than that of casting. Welding large-thickness plates makes the weld strength difficult to achieve, and it is unrealistic to eat a big fat man in one bite.
However, the concepts of modular armor and composite armor can be proposed.
Mr. Guan was a little confused about this proposal, so: "Embedded or welded screws? What is the use?"
Gao Zhendong took a basin, turned it over and placed it on the table with the mouth facing down. Then he took a book and gestured on the basin.
“Assuming this is a turret, I wondered if the turret could be cast a little thinner, and then more armor could be made into modules piece by piece and fixed to the surface of the turret with screws.”
Mr. Guan was a little interested: "Modular armor?"
Gao Zhendong slapped his thigh: "Yes, that's the name. Mr. Guan immediately thought of the key. I think, in this case If the armor is damaged, it is easy to replace. If technology improves and newer and better armor is available, there is no need to replace the turret. As long as the original cast base armor of the turret is acceptable and the new armor has better performance, just replace it. This layer of modules will do.”
Mr. Guan’s eyes lit up: “Oh, that’s right. Upgrading and improving the tank armor in this way saves money and trouble, and it’s even easier to repair. Let’s forget about it. Regardless of the power-to-weight ratio, just installing an extra layer of armor modules will do the trick.”
Gao Zhendong added: "If the materials are not enough, just build the cast turret with only the base armor first. Then when the conditions are mature or when it is needed, it will be too late to add the armor module."
"And, one day we will have If the welding technology improves and the cost comes down, we don’t even need to cast the turret. We can just weld a turret with a suitable steel plate. When it comes to automated production, welding the turret is definitely faster than casting the turret.”
A few words. Mr. Deguan was extremely excited: "Zhendong, your idea is very feasible! All aspects are taken care of. It is flexible and convenient. It can quickly enhance and improve the protective performance of the tank without increasing the cost or technical difficulty. Not too high.”
Gao Zhendong said with a smile: “Also, I have some ideas about the armor block.”
Finally, the situation has basically returned to normal, and the two chapters have been published together.
The following book is the work of a netizen whom I got chatting with last month when I was preparing to write a book and looking for information. It’s not that I pushed the chapter because I dared to play. This kind of thing has nothing to do with our young authors, but the mutual blessings and promises between the two young authors before writing the book for the first time. However, his preparation time was much longer than mine. , so the book was released.
