Chapter 17 Determining the Final Design Plan
“Although the research and development project of the 120mm smoothbore gun of the 212 Machinery Military Factory is currently stagnant, after our plan is adopted, their projects will also be rescued by the military. of."
If the Yanguo military really wants a new main battle tank to be equipped with a 120mm smoothbore cannon, it will definitely allocate funds to the 212 Machinery Military Factory to allow them to continue to develop the 120mm smoothbore cannon.
In this case, Song Xiyun took out his notebook and recorded on it, replacing the original 115mm smoothbore cannon with a larger caliber 120mm smoothbore cannon.
Although the 120mm smoothbore gun research and development project currently in charge of the 212 Machinery Military Factory is in trouble and has stopped moving forward.
But as long as the design and development plan of the main battle tank provided by their 077 Machinery Arsenal can be recognized and adopted by the Yanguo military.
Then the design and development project of the 120mm smoothbore gun of the 212 Machinery Military Factory is likely to receive support from the military and be restarted.
Indeed, if the Yanguo military plans to equip a new main battle tank with a 120mm smoothbore cannon, it will inevitably allocate corresponding funds to the 212 Machinery Arsenal to promote its further research and development of this type of artillery.
Thinking of this, Song Xiyun immediately crossed out the original 115mm smoothbore cannon on the original main battle tank design and development drawings, and instead recorded the change to a 120mm smoothbore cannon.
"In terms of armor, I have some good stuff here that can come in handy." Lin Chenran said with a mysterious face.
"Good thing?" Song Xiyun was immediately confused.
And secretly murmured in his heart: Could it be that our factory director still has a magic weapon in his hand that can improve the defense of tank armor?
"Actually, I didn't really stay in the factory director's office last week. Instead, I spent all day in the factory's laboratory doing research. The goal was this special steel." Lin Chenran explained calmly.
"What?"
"Special steel?"
"Chen Ran, could it be that...you succeeded?"
When Song Xiyun heard this, a look of astonishment immediately appeared on his face.
If Lin Chenran really succeeds in developing special steel, it will definitely be an earth-shattering event for the 077 Machinery Military Factory.
According to him, this special steel can not only be used in main battle tanks, but can also significantly enhance their defense.
As a result, 077 Machinery Military Factory will surely usher in a historic leap!
Lin Chenran raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled softly: "It's almost the same, but it still needs further verification."
"Really?" Song Xiyun's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief on his face.
It only took a week to find a new special steel material!
"this……"
"That……"
Song Xiyun was stunned and didn't know how to respond.
This kind of speed and ability is far beyond the scope of genius, it is simply a genius.
"Mr. Song, in fact, it's not just this week's efforts. Before I came to the 077 Machinery Military Factory, I had already started researching new special steels."
Lin Chenran lowered his voice and spoke quietly to Song Xiyun.
"After arriving at the 077 Machinery Arsenal, my inspiration burst out like a fountain, which is why I achieved the current results."
He added so as not to cause too much of a stir.
After Song Xiyun heard this, although he was no longer as shocked as before, his heart was still filled with admiration.
After all, it is absolutely amazing to be able to discover new special steel materials on your own.
"That's pretty awesome!" Song Xiyun exclaimed, with admiration shining in his eyes.
"I estimate that the special steel I developed will be several times or even dozens of times stronger than the steel on the existing Type 69 tank."
Lin Chenran said calmly.
If vibranium material is added, its strength will be even more powerful, perhaps hundreds or even thousands of times greater.
The vibranium material is not just in vain.
In the Marvel Universe, Captain America's shield has withstood attacks from countless weapons but remains intact.
This fully demonstrates the power of vibranium materials.
…
After two hours of intense discussion, the preliminary form of the new main battle tank was finally successfully sketched out with the joint efforts of Lin Chenran and Song Xiyun.
Compared with the original old model, this newly designed and developed new main battle tank has undoubtedly achieved a qualitative leap.
"Hey! It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach."
"As the saying goes, the young are better than the old!"
Song Xiyun was filled with emotions instantly.
When Lin Chenran heard this, he scratched his head, a helpless smile appeared on his face, and said softly: "Mr. Song, you are really overdue."
He shook his head slightly and said that he was not that outstanding: "I know exactly how capable I am." Lin Chenran knew his strength and status well and did not dare to be too conceited or exaggerate in front of seniors like Song Xiyun.
Song Xiyun is recognized as a top talent in the Yan Kingdom.
His talent and achievements are remarkable.
In comparison, Lin Chenran now seems much more immature.
Faced with such an outstanding figure, Lin Chenran maintained humility and awe.
After expressing his appreciation for Lin Chenran, Song Xiyun picked up the brand new, carefully designed and developed main battle tank design drawings, feeling full of satisfaction in his heart.
He carefully rolled up this precious drawing and prepared to leave Lin Chenran's office and return to the 077 Machinery Arsenal to work with other engineers on the subsequent fine decoration and improvement work.
When Song Xiyun walked to the door of the office, Lin Chenran suddenly raised his voice and shouted loudly: "Mr. Song, please note that there is only one week left before the tank bidding meeting held by the military!"
In this way, he hopes to remind the other party of the urgency of time and ensure that they can complete the task on time.
Although Song Xiyun had already walked out of the office, his response was clearly heard in the room: "I know!"
This short answer showed that he had understood Lin Chenran's reminder and would take it seriously.
Afterwards, the office door slowly closed, and Song Xiyun left with the important design drawings.
Lin Chenran was left alone to think about the next work.
At the same time, Lin Chenran watched Song Xiyun move away and disappear from sight, then slowly turned around and sat back on the large and wide office chair.
The pile of documents in front of him was a silent reminder that the busy work of the past week had not yet been completed, and he needed to deal with it personally.
Lin Chenran sighed deeply helplessly: "What a miserable person!"
It was as if he wanted to spit out all the fatigue and resentment in his body with this sigh.
However, he didn't have much time to express his feelings, and then quickly accelerated his movements, hoping to finish processing these documents as soon as possible and end today's work as soon as possible.
Time passed by, and Lin Chenran was immersed in the documents. His eyes were focused and firm, and he quickly flipped through each document with his hands, picking up a pen to make comments or modifications on it from time to time.
There was only one thought in his mind - finish these damn documents quickly, then clock out and go home.
Just when Lin Chenran thought he was about to be done, his assistant walked in from the door at an inappropriate time, holding a thick stack of new documents in his hand.
These documents obviously require him to make the final decision.
Lin Chenran stared at the increasing workload in front of him with wide eyes, and finally could not suppress the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart, and let out a low roar: "Ah! It's not over yet!"
After all, you have to work hard.
