Chapter 22 Lin Chenran: The military doesn’t want it? Then I export
How strong the 077 Machinery Military Factory is, the executives of the many Machinery Military Factories present are very clear about it.
Although they have a relatively solid tank manufacturing foundation, they once OEM-produced the Type 59 tank.
But compared with any other mechanical arsenal here, it is still slightly inferior.
077 Machinery Military Factory’s magical modification of the Type 59 civilian engineering vehicle?
That was just a fluke, "a blind cat meets a dead mouse."
However, today is different from the past. In the second-generation tank design and development plan of the 077 Machinery Arsenal, its main weapon is the same as the 617 Machinery Arsenal and the 625 Machinery Arsenal, both using a 120mm smoothbore gun.
"this……"
Everyone was surprised, it was really impressive.
Especially Mr. Wei, who was sitting on the main seat, was even more shocked.
Originally, he thought that the finalists of the second-generation main battle tank bidding conference should be the 617 Machinery Ordnance Factory and the 625 Machinery Ordnance Factory.
The 077 Machinery Arsenal is just a foil.
What surprised him was that 077 Machinery Arsenal also made it to the finals.
No, because time is very precious.
At the same time, in order to prevent leaks, Mr. Wei asked representatives from the already eliminated mechanical arsenal factory to evacuate the conference room first.
Representatives from several mechanical ordnance factories left the conference room with expressions of reluctance.
After everyone had left, Mr. Wei smiled slightly and congratulated Lin Chenran and the others: "Congratulations, everyone!"
"The second-generation main battle tank solution you designed and developed successfully entered the final round."
Then Wei Lao said half-jokingly: "I really didn't expect that 077 Machinery Arsenal could squeeze into the finals."
"I originally predicted that 617 Machinery Arsenal and 625 Machinery Arsenal would advance to the finals."
"Director Lin, I didn't expect that the design and research and development capabilities of your 077 Machinery Military Factory are so strong!" (In public situations, refer to your job title)
Faced with Mr. Wei's praise, Lin Chenran behaved very humbly, and he responded Said: "Wei Lao is very complimentary. In fact, we ourselves did not expect to reach the finals at all."
"We came to the military's second-generation tank bidding conference with the attitude of coming here to learn from the beginning."
Then Lin Chenran said jokingly: "Even if the design and development plan of our second-generation tank is not favored by the military, we still have other ways to sell it abroad."
The indifferent look on his face instantly made everyone present laugh.
I see!
077 Machinery Arsenal came to the Yanguo military's second-generation tank bidding conference to try their luck.
Even if the Yanguo military really doesn't like the second-generation tank solution they designed and developed, they still have the ability to sell their military to foreign countries.
And all this is thanks to the Type 59 civilian engineering vehicle.
Nowadays, the sales of Type 59 civil engineering vehicles have not only increased significantly in China.
It has also successfully opened foreign sales channels.
Especially for developing countries, their demand for civil engineering vehicles is very large.
The Type 59 civilian engineering vehicle from Yanguo is quite affordable.
With the funds used to purchase one civil engineering vehicle from a developed country, one can buy two Type 59 civil engineering vehicles.
Also, the Type 59 civil engineering vehicle is of high quality and very powerful.
The most critical and important point is undoubtedly the after-sales maintenance service provided by 077 Machinery Military Factory.
Its level can be said to be far ahead of other peer companies in the industry.
This move directly led to many civil engineering vehicle companies following suit and successively improving the maintenance and support of their own products.
Why does this happen?
The reason is actually very simple. It is precisely because the 077 Machinery Military Factory is too powerful. Taking the Type 59 civil engineering vehicle as an example, it is far ahead of other competitors in every aspect.
If these civil engineering vehicle companies still continue the past after-sales maintenance model of delay, confusion and even arbitrary charges.
Then it can be foreseen that one day their share in the civilian engineering vehicle market will be taken away by the 077 Machinery Military Factory.
It is impossible to reduce prices.
Then they choose to improve the quality of after-sales maintenance services.
In this case, they can still have a considerable sales market.
It may harm the interests of a group of engineers who go abroad for repairs, but in the face of the overall interests, if they are sacrificed, they will be sacrificed.
Later, Wei Lao signaled Su Yiming to continue explaining the design and development plan of their second-generation main battle tank at the 625 Machinery Arsenal.
Su Yiming did not show any pretense and continued to introduce in detail the plan of the second-generation main battle tank designed and developed by his own mechanical arsenal.
At this time, Lin Chenran in the audience frowned more and more as he listened, and the doubts in his heart became more and more serious: "This..."
He murmured to himself: "Isn't this an improved version of the Type 79 main battle tank?"
Lin Chenran stared carefully at the design and development drawings of the 625 Machinery Arsenal on the stage with wide eyes. After confirming that there was no doubt, he was filled with shock and confusion.
That's right, it's the Type 79 tank. (Note: The Type 79 tank in this article has not been born yet, please do not connect it to the real world.)
It just changed the main weapon to a more powerful 120mm smoothbore cannon.
But otherwise not much seems to have changed.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Lin Chenran's mind, making him suddenly enlightened.
He remembered that the Type 79 tank was produced by the 625 Machinery Arsenal.
Lin Chenran couldn't help but patted his head and said to himself: "Hey! That's it! Why didn't I think of it earlier!"
At this moment, he finally understood why he felt so familiar.
Since the design and development plan of the second-generation tank of 625 Machinery Arsenal is the Type 79 tank.
So what is the 617 Machinery Arsenal?
Lin Chenran secretly speculated: It couldn't be a Type 80 tank, right?
The thought lingered in his mind.
Next, when Mr. Zhu came on stage to introduce the design and development plan of the second-generation tank of the 617 Machinery Military Factory, Lin Chenran's idea was verified.
After Su Yiming introduced the design and development plan of his second-generation main battle tank in detail, the entire venue was in a state of excitement, and thunderous applause came from the audience.
Among them, the reaction of Yanguo's military was the strongest.
They were full of praise for the second-generation tank design and development plan proposed by 625 Machinery Arsenal.
In terms of firepower, this second-generation main battle tank is equipped with a powerful 120mm smoothbore cannon, which can easily penetrate enemy armor;
In terms of speed, it is equipped with a domestically developed 12150L-7BW diesel engine.
Its rated power is as high as 580 horsepower, and its rated speed reaches an amazing 2000 rpm! Such a powerful power system gives the tank lightning-fast maneuverability.
The most eye-catching thing is its innovative breakthrough in armor defense.
The second-generation main battle tank uses the most advanced special steel material, which is not only extremely strong.
It can effectively resist attacks from various weapons, and also has excellent anti-ballistic performance and lightweight characteristics.
This undoubtedly provides solid and reliable protection for the tank, making it an indestructible mobile fortress on the battlefield.
After Su Yiming came down, Zhu Lao, who came to the 617 Machinery Military Factory next, took the stage to introduce the design and development plan of his second-generation tank.
