Chapter 48 617 Mechanical Arsenal: Damn, are you being taken care of?
The senior executives of 077 Machinery Arsenal followed Lin Chenran and came to the front of the special steel plate for testing.
As soon as they got closer, they felt a wave of hot air hitting their faces, making their skin feel a burning sensation.
Still, their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation.
Because they knew that this heat wave was caused by the explosion of special steel when it collided with the armor-piercing projectile of the Type 59 tank, which meant that their research and development results were about to be verified.
According to the current test results, this special steel has been successful!
Its appearance will bring a huge breakthrough to the 077 Machinery Arsenal, giving it a pair of "wings" to take off.
"Mr. Song, look, the armor-piercing projectiles of the Type 59 tank seem a bit weak."
Lin Chenran raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of a smile, and pointed at the steel needle stuck on the special steel plate.
Everyone followed his gaze and saw that the steel needle was deeply embedded in the special steel plate and could not penetrate through.
As an old tank, the Type 59 tank's main weapon, a 100mm smoothbore cannon, is indeed slightly less powerful in modern warfare.
If it can be replaced with a more advanced tank, such as Mao Xiong's T-72 or Yingjiang's M1 tank, it may be possible to better test the true performance of the special steel.
In the future, the second-generation main battle tanks made of special steel will compete fiercely with the main battle tanks of these two countries.
Song Xiyun smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Director, although I agree with your idea, we still only have the T72 tank of Hairless Bear and the M1 tank of Yingjiang!"
Because the main weapon of these two tanks is the 125mm smoothbore cannon, which can be said to be the most powerful in the world. If you use them to test the special steel produced by your own company, the data obtained will be the most authentic and reliable.
However, although Song Xiyun knew this truth, he had no choice but to have no such equipment at all.
At this moment, Lin Chenran suddenly remembered something. He lowered his voice and said to Song Xiyun: "Mr. Song, I remember that our country imported a T72 tank from other countries a few years ago. It seemed that it was sent to Went to the 617 Machinery Arsenal.”
Hearing this, Song Xiyun was shocked and asked quickly: "Do you want that T72 tank to test the special steel in our factory?"
Lin Chenran nodded, indicating that he did have this idea.
But Song Xiyun frowned and said worriedly: "I don't think the 617 Machinery Military Factory will agree to do this. Moreover, there is another problem. This T72 tank was introduced several years ago, and it still doesn't exist yet." Whether it can be started normally is still unknown.”
According to common sense, the 617 Machinery Military Factory has long disassembled this T72 tank and conducted in-depth research and analysis.
Therefore, it is not easy to find a T72 tank that can operate normally.
"We can give it a try and contact Mr. Zhu when the time comes. He probably won't refuse our proposal."
"After all, the birth of this special steel will allow our country's military industry to take off."
Lin Chenran thought he could give it a try.
Senior military officer: I have no objection!
What worries Lin Chenran and others the most now is: Can this imported T72 tank be installed back?
Able to fire armor-piercing projectiles?
…
The senior executives of the 077 Machinery Military Factory returned to the factory from the test site with satisfaction and quickly got into more busy work.
At the same time, Lin Chenran and Song Xiyun also returned to the office together.
As soon as he entered the office, Lin Chenran couldn't wait to pick up the phone on the desk. He wanted to contact the Yan Kingdom military to inform them that his special steel had been successfully developed.
So, in front of Song Xiyun, Lin Chenran did not hesitate to call Wei Lao, the head of the military equipment department.
"Dududu..."
The phone continued to ring, but no one answered.
After a while, a voice finally came from the other end of the phone:
"Hello? Who is this?"
The person who answered the phone was Wei Lao, the head of the military equipment department, and his voice sounded confident.
After hearing Mr. Wei's response, Lin Chenran said quickly: "Hello Mr. Wei, I am Lin Chenran. Is it convenient for you to answer the phone now?" Mr. Wei replied:
"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Lin! Tell me if you have anything to say."
“There will be a very important meeting that I need to chair later.
"You only have three minutes."
Lin Chenran immediately reported after hearing this: "Mr. Wei, our 077 Machinery Military Factory's special steel has been successfully developed!"
"And we just did a test on it."
He deliberately did not tell Mr. Wei the test results, but playfully whetted his appetite.
"Tell me, what kind of tests did you do? What were the results of the tests?"
Wei Lao asked anxiously, his voice full of expectation.
The corners of Lin Chenran's mouth raised slightly, and then he replied with a smile: "We directly let the 59 tanks fire armor-piercing projectiles at a distance of two hundred meters...one hundred meters...twenty meters!"
After saying this, Lin Chenran stopped talking and quietly waited for Wei Lao's reaction.
Mr. Wei on the other end of the phone frowned and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.
He felt that Lin Chenran was so naughty that he dared to tease him like this.
He took a deep breath, resisted the urge to curse, and said in a stern tone: "Boy Lin, don't let me scold you when I'm happy!"
"Understand?"
When Song Xiyun on the side saw this scene, he couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hand, for fear that he would laugh out loud.
Although he tried his best to hide his restraint, the expression of laughter still showed up from time to time.
He secretly thought: I am a professional, and I will not laugh unless I can't help it.
I can’t help it, it’s so fun!
"No, no, no! Wei Lao, I was wrong!"
When Lin Chenran heard this, he immediately admitted his mistake.
"Say it!"
"What was the result of the experiment?"
Although he was teased by Lin Chenran, he was more concerned about the performance of the special steel produced by the 077 Machinery Military Factory.
"Old Wei! Sit tight!"
Then Lin Chenran said slowly: "The Type 59 tank fired an armor-piercing projectile each at two hundred meters... one hundred meters... twenty meters."
"As a result, only the armor-piercing projectile at a distance of twenty meters could 'get stuck' on the 80mm steel plate, but it did not penetrate!"
"At other distances, the armor-piercing projectile only exploded and did not cause any damage to the 80mm steel plate."
Lin Chenran was very proud to announce the good news to Mr. Wei.
"real?"
"Boy Lin, you didn't lie to me?"
Although Mr. Wei believed Lin Chenran's simple words, the matter was very important, so he needed to ask clearly.
“More real than pearls!!!”
