Chapter 24 Is the Type 59 tank old and worn out? Don’t panic after the magic transformation
The second-generation main battle tank of the 077 Machinery Arsenal actually underwent a large-scale magic transformation based on the original Type 59.
This makes people wonder, does the 077 Machinery Arsenal have special feelings for the Type 59?
Knowing that Type 59 is already so backward, why do they still insist on making magical modifications based on it?
Facing the uproar from many military bosses and machine arsenal bosses in the audience, Lin Chenran's lips slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible smile.
Of course he knew why these people were so surprised.
Lin Chenran explained calmly: "Everyone should know that our 077 Machinery Arsenal does have a certain foundation in the field of tank manufacturing, but in terms of design and research and development, there are still some gaps compared with other large tank manufacturers."
"So choosing to use Type 59 as the basis is really a helpless move."
Lin Chenran's words revealed a hint of helplessness.
Then, he changed the subject, with a mysterious smile on his face, and continued: "However, don't underestimate the Type 59, although it may be a little behind compared to some of the current new tanks."
"But the design and development plan of the second-generation main battle tank based on it by our 077 Machinery Arsenal is not lagging behind at all."
He paused and then said: "Some people think that the Type 59 is old, worn out and broken? That's just because they haven't seen the magic modification technology of our 077 Machinery Arsenal."
His tone was full of confidence and pride, as if he had seen the future scene where this second-generation main battle tank, which was modified from the Type 59 tank, would show its prowess on the battlefield.
Upon hearing this, all the Yanguo military leaders and the heads of the other two mechanical arsenals at the scene nodded, expressing their agreement with his statement.
At present, the design and development plan of the second-generation main battle tank of the 077 Machinery Arsenal has not yet been explained.
It would be too hasty and childish to directly deny the results of their efforts based on just one original drawing!
After Lin Chenran saw everyone's reactions, he felt a little calmer, so he continued to introduce the design and development plan of his second-generation main battle tank to everyone in detail.
First of all, in terms of weapons and equipment, the main weapon of this second-generation main battle tank is an amazingly powerful 120mm smoothbore cannon, which can easily penetrate enemy armor.
Its secondary weapon is a 7.62mm parallel machine gun, which has powerful close combat suppression capabilities.
In addition, the rate of fire of this parallel machine gun is as high as 350 rounds per minute, the initial velocity has reached an astonishing 865 meters per second, and the effective range is as long as 1,000 meters.
In terms of weapons and equipment, the second-generation main battle tank of the 077 Machinery Arsenal is comparable to the firepower design of the previous two mechanical arms factories.
In terms of power system, the second-generation main battle tank of the 077 Machinery Arsenal does not use the common domestic diesel engine.
On the contrary, they use the same four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 as the Mao Xiong T72 tank. Diesel engine. This engine has a horsepower of up to 760 horsepower and is extremely powerful.
If the most powerful 760-horsepower version is not available, the 700-horsepower four-stroke V-12 V-46 diesel engine is also a good choice.
After all, for Yan Guo, even the lowest-configuration 700-horsepower V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine can meet the needs.
At this moment, Mr. Wei suddenly interrupted Lin Chenran's explanation.
"A 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine, is Mao Xiong willing to sell it? This is the core technology of their T72 tank!"
"Moreover, what we want to buy is not just the diesel engine itself, but also the technology and production lines that match it."
This is the common thought of many Yanguo military leaders.
Indeed, according to the vision of the Yanguo military leaders, not only the engine needs to be purchased, but also the corresponding technology and production lines must be purchased.
Otherwise, like domestic fighter jets, they lack a strong and powerful "heart" as support. Lin Chenran said calmly: "As long as the price is right, Mao Xiong should still be willing to sell these backward technologies."
"After all, the current economic situation in Mao Xiong's country is not optimistic."
"And even their country's third-generation main battle tank has abandoned the traditional diesel engine and switched to a 985-horsepower gas turbine modified from an aviation gas turbine engine."
Immediately afterwards, he added: "Our 077 Machinery Arsenal's second-generation main battle tanks can also choose to use domestically produced engines."
"The overall weight of the second-generation main battle tanks we designed and developed is much lighter than the second-generation main battle tanks of the 617 Machinery Arsenal and the 625 Machinery Arsenal."
"Assembled with the same style of domestic diesel engines, the second-generation main battle tank developed by our 617 Machinery Arsenal can travel much faster than the second-generation main battle tanks of the other two mechanical arms factories."
It has to be said that the main focus of 077 Machinery Arsenal is a convenient and practical machine that can be used as conveniently as possible!
There are also domestic tank engines that are modeled after Mao Xiong, so they are pretty much the same.
077 Machinery Military Factory did not limit its sights only to orders for the Yanguo military's second-generation main battle tanks. They also set their sights on the vast foreign military sales market.
Hearing this, everyone at the scene suddenly realized.
Originally they thought that 077 Machinery Arsenal was just acting on impulse and blindly without a plan, but now it seems that they obviously have more far-reaching considerations and plans.
It turns out there is a "Plan B"!
At this moment, Elder Wei couldn't help but have many thoughts in his mind.
After hearing this, other military bosses also expressed their agreement with Lin Chenran's statement.
If, as Lin Chenran said, Yanguo successfully introduces Mao Xiongguo’s advanced 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine technology and its related production lines, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the overall strength of Yanguo’s military. strength.
Who doesn’t want to have a more powerful and advanced main battle tank?
Everyone wants it!
According to Lin Chenran’s idea, even if the technology of Mao Xiong’s 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine and related production lines cannot be introduced in the end.
They can eventually be exported to other countries.
A piece of cloth on the head, Saudi Arabia, the richest country in the world, will definitely be happy to buy it.
And its other "big brothers".
Anyway, 077 Machinery Military Factory will not lose money anyway.
The Yanguo military can request a batch of second-generation main battle tanks equipped with a 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine.
If the worst happens, it can be replaced with a domestic diesel engine. Although it is slightly inferior in terms of power and not so powerful, the firepower and armor should remain intact.
"If Mao Xiong doesn't sell a 760-horsepower four-stroke V-12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine, we can also buy the same type of engine from the nearby Eagle Sauce."
Song Xiyun in the audience said calmly.
The two countries are still in the final "honeymoon" stage.
