Chapter 170: Those who learn from others will live, those who resemble others will die (3k)
Liu Wenwu’s face collapsed: “The spraying speed is still not good, it takes more than 10 seconds to spray the fire extinguishing agent, and by the time it is finished, the day lilies are all gone. "It's cold."
Mr. Guan asked: "Can't we pressurize more?"
"The pipe for transporting the fire extinguishing agent is only so thick, and the length is reduced to the minimum. Pressurize again." Something else is going to happen.”
Systematic things are like this. It affects the whole body, even for simple systems such as fire suppression and explosion suppression.
Mr. Guan originally wanted to ask the pipe to be thicker, but when he thought about it, Liu Wenwu couldn't have thought of such a simple solution. Since there is still a problem, it means there must be a defect that cannot be solved.
Hearing this, Gao Zhendong asked Liu Wenwu strangely: "Why do we need to connect a pipe."
Liu Wenwu was a bit stupid: "In order to spray the fire extinguishing agent in the most dangerous places Come out, like the ammunition rack.”
Gao Zhendong was also a little stupid: “You wouldn’t put the fire extinguishing agent bottle directly in the most dangerous place like the ammunition rack, without the pipe, the mouth of the fire extinguishing agent bottle. Open it wider and put a diffusion plate on the opening. Non-critical spaces can be spread quickly by pressure."
Mr. Guan and Liu Wenwu: "Ah."
The two thought for a while, why am I so stupid? Didn't you think of such a simple solution?
Actually, it's not that the two of them are stupid, but that the tank design at this time was all learned from Lao Maozi, and this is what Lao Maozi did.
Whether it is tank fire extinguishing or automatic fire extinguishing and explosion suppression systems, up to the T-80, thermocouples + gas pipe injection were used. The response was already slow, and it took more than 10 minutes to spray the fire extinguishing agent. Seconds, by that time, "bang", the tank's head flew off.
So the original design has to be changed when it’s time to change it.
Liu Wenwu was excited and admired: "Mr. Gao, it's you who solved the big trouble we have been having for a long time."
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "That's not the case, I guess you just didn't turn your head for a while."
Mr. Guan looked at Gao Zhendong: "Mr. Gao, don't be humble, this kind of thinking inertia , no one jumped out of the inherent framework to wake him up, I guess he will have to fight with the pipe spray for a long time. "
This inherent framework refers to the method of the current imitation object, Lao Maozi.
As for Lao Maozi's method, he can really put a bunch of bad things together into a pretty good finished product, but when it comes to details, they are also habitually confused.
For example, the T-54B around 1960 was equipped with a thermal smoke generator. However, Lao Maozi’s idea was extremely simple. The fuel supply of this thermal smoke generator was not connected to the main engine. It is an oil supply system, that is to say, every time it smokes, the oil in the special auxiliary oil tank is used. After it is used up, it has to be refueled separately, which is very difficult.
Later, Lao Maozi realized that something was wrong and connected the oil supply to the main oil supply system.
In fact, it’s hard to say that their idea is wrong. In Lao Maozi’s combat scenario, all aircraft, artillery and tanks are disposable in real fighting. If the main fuel supply system is changed, an auxiliary fuel tank can be directly hung up and used up. If you pull them down, if they are used up and are not destroyed, count your luck and add more.
In addition, although the technical foundation is stronger than that of China, it is actually still weak compared to its opponents at that time, so we can see that their early jet fighters only had an overhaul life of 100 flight hours.
Thinking of this, Gao Zhendong simply made his words clearer: "After I came here, I learned a lot about the development status and equipment situation of the equipment. I feel that the advantage of the north side is the system integration work. Very good, but in terms of small details or equipment research and development ideas, we still have to boldly break through their rules and regulations."
Mr. Guan and Liu Wenwu nodded after hearing this.
After a few clicks, I felt something was wrong, especially Liu Wenwu. You can make bold breakthroughs casually. I am trying too hard here, and I can only achieve half of it: boldness. breakthrough? It may not be possible to copy the gourd and draw the scoop.
No, no, it’s impossible to implement what Mr. Gao said. Those who imitate others will live, and those who imitate others will die.
——
Gao Zhendong’s life at the Grassland Tractor Factory is still very fulfilling. The report on the dual stability between him and Mr. He has not yet been typed up, but Mr. Luo organized it first. I'm going to invite him to a meeting.
The topic of the meeting is just one. No matter when the demonstration of the next generation tank starts, the Prairie Tractor Factory can first conduct an internal demonstration by itself to formulate thoughts and preliminary suggestions for the next generation of tanks.
In this way, when the National Defense Work Committee really starts the next-generation tank demonstration work, they will also have a preliminary plan for everyone to discuss. Thinking from air to air, many things are not fully considered. There is a foundation, no matter how bad it is. , it can also allow people participating in the discussion to have goals and objects to compare with, making the meeting more specific.
No matter how bad the software developers are in the future, they must first present a plan to Party A. This is probably what it means. In addition to subconsciously guiding Party A to tilt in a direction that is beneficial to them, This can also be regarded as a necessary stage in order to smoothly promote the work.
Although the bi-stabilization plan has not yet been determined, this subsystem does not affect the determination of the overall tank plan. It can be summarized in just one sentence that "the new tank adopts a bi-directional artillery stabilization system". As for which one to use? , let’s talk about it at that time, the overall plan does not necessarily need to be so detailed.
In fact, there are many undecided systems here. Pre-research and demonstration are not all based on already implemented technologies. In fact, when planning and demonstration, quite a few subsystems have not yet been born. It's the norm. This is somewhat different from "in new equipment, the application of new technologies should not exceed 30%." New technologies are not equal to new systems. The technologies of some new subsystems are actually old technologies.
All the people in charge of the subsystem and above gathered together. The person in charge of this subsystem was probably at the level of Liu Wenwu, and the level and administrative level had nothing to do with the title, but referred to the position in the project.
Even if you are a technician, as long as you are the person in charge of a certain subsystem, then you should come to this meeting. If you don't come, it won't work.
In fact, the most typical one here is the deputy chief engineer-Gao Zhendong.
Seeing that everyone was here, Mr. Luo started talking about the opening remarks. They were all internal people, and there were relatively few procedures for introductions and politeness.
"The purpose of inviting everyone here today is actually for one thing. What will the next generation tank look like? We have to come up with something first. It just so happens that our deputy chief engineer, Comrade Gao Zhendong, , I also rushed here from the capital for the matter with the Pao General. It’s better to take advantage of this opportunity than to hurry up. Let’s settle this matter.”
After speaking, he took out a preliminary plan that he had written and introduced it to everyone at the meeting.
The content of the preliminary plan focuses on indicators and requirements, as well as basic technical routes, and does not go into technical details, so it is introduced relatively quickly.
This depth, if it is difficult to understand, can be compared to the project proposal stage of a construction project. It does not involve any technical details. It only talks about this matter, how far I am prepared to achieve it, what method I will probably use, and the cost and What is the approximate construction period?
Even here, the cost and construction period are not the focus. It is purely an estimate. It is just a reference point for everyone. It will not be deepened until the plan is finalized internally.
After introducing the situation, Mr. Luo smiled and said: "Next, let's go through each item one by one and discuss it. It's an internal argumentation meeting. There are not so many rules. Everyone can speak freely."
Someone raised a question: "Mr. Luo, who is the imaginary enemy? How is their development? Without this, it would be difficult for us to decide."
In everyone's opinion, now we are followers, The technical and financial resources are limited. There is no doubt that it is best to identify an imaginary enemy first.
Compared with the "I don't care what you are like, I just care how good I can be" attitude of Citigroup's Raptors in the future, under the current conditions, this method is undoubtedly the best.
Of course, Citigroup later suffered from such arrogance and self-talk, such as the Littoral Combat Ship that was decommissioned just after it was commissioned.
Mr. Luo and Gao Zhendong looked at each other, what should they say.
After thinking about it, Mr. Luo said: "Let's use the situation in the north as a benchmark for the time being."
"North?" This answer surprised the people below.
Gao Zhendong smiled and added: "Our understanding of our enemies is limited due to various conditions, but there is no doubt that the comrades in the north know much better than us. So. Let's just take a detour. As long as we follow the north, we should be confident about dealing with our enemies."
Everyone put aside their doubts. It turns out that this is the case. It makes sense.
Mr. Luo smiled and said: "Now that everyone understands, let's get started."
Of course, several people like the Artillery Chief and the Defense Chief knew that what the two Chief Engineers said might not be entirely true.
Firepower is relatively simple. The core big tube is now very powerful. It has doubled the penetration depth of the original gun of 5DL. There is no end in sight yet. According to the information collected Look, they are no worse than the next generation in the north, even slightly better.
So the core is this thing, which is nothing more than a sight and an auxiliary weapon.
Everyone is engaged in tanks, and they still know about anti-tank missiles, so in terms of weapons, the biggest dilemma is whether to use missiles, although at this time, there are no domestic anti-tank missiles. Hold on to one, but the preliminary research on the demonstration is to be done in advance.
After discussing this for a long time, Mr. Luo saw that Gao Zhendong had not spoken, so he took the initiative to ask Gao Zhendong: "General Master Gao, what is your opinion?"
In his opinion, Gao Zhendong has an advanced intuition about many things on tanks, from large aspects to technical details, such as the news that just came about casually solving the problem of spraying fire extinguishing and explosion suppressing agent.
Gao Zhendong raised his head from deep thought: "My opinion is, no, but not all."
