Chapter 54 "Xuanwu" Steel: Powerful and Invincible
The armor-piercing projectile was shot from the barrel of the 125mm smoothbore gun of the T72 tank, with a sharp whistling sound, like a ferocious fire dragon, galloping towards the target at an alarming speed.
In just a few seconds, a deafening explosion sounded.
The armor-piercing projectile fired by the T72 tank violently collided with the special steel plate, triggering a violent explosion.
In an instant, a blazing high temperature arose around the special steel. Even Lin Chenran, who was next to the auditorium, could clearly feel the heat.
The loud noise and shock wave caused by the explosion shook the entire venue, and at the same time, thick smoke rose into the sky, making it impossible for anyone to see clearly what was going on inside through telescopes.
At this moment, Lin Chenran still had a smile on his face.
He was full of confidence in the special steel made at home and seemed to have expected such a result.
"Um?"
When everyone saw Lin Chenran being so calm, the impatience in their hearts gradually calmed down.
They began to look forward to the final results of this test.
After a while, the thick smoke from the explosion gradually dissipated.
"hiss!"
When everyone finally saw the result clearly, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The armor-piercing projectile fired by the T72 tank at a distance of 120 meters failed to penetrate the special steel plate manufactured by the 077 Machinery Military Factory!
This fact shocked everyone present.
It only left a faint explosion mark and a relatively shallow crater on the special steel.
It can be said that it was unscathed!
The steel needle of the armor-piercing bullet fell not far away.
"this……"
"That……"
After everyone saw the result, they all looked incredulous.
Especially Abdul and others from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the Camel Region were stunned.
They couldn't believe what they were seeing!
This is so powerful!
At one hundred and twenty meters, the 100mm special steel manufactured by the 077 Machinery Arsenal successfully withstood the attack of an armor-piercing projectile launched by one of the best T72 tanks on the planet.
If Yingjiang or other developed military powers can do this, Abdul thinks it is still possible.
How could Yan State, which has always been regarded as a technologically backward country, be so powerful in producing such outstanding special steel?
Everything seems so weird! ! !
The target reporter looked at the situation in front of him in shock, and then slowly said: "One hundred and twenty meters away, the T72 tank armor-piercing bullet left a small crater on the No. 1 special steel plate, but it did not penetrate!"
As the target announcer finished speaking, the entire scene instantly erupted into a burst of warm cheers.
And this burst of cheers came from the staff of 077 Machinery Arsenal.
They jumped excitedly, their eyes full of pride and pride.
Because they know what the success of this experiment means.
It means that their efforts were not in vain and they finally succeeded in proving their ability.
They have tested their own special steel plates on the 59 tank before.
But the 59 tank and the T72 tank are not at the same level at all. The gap between them is really too big.
Before the start of this test, the staff of the 077 Machinery Military Factory had always been uneasy.
Now that the results are out, everyone can finally let go of most of their worries.
Because this test was very successful!
The special steel plates from their 077 Machinery Arsenal can withstand the bombardment of T72 tank armor-piercing projectiles at a distance of 120 meters!
…
In the early years, when the Yanguo military first obtained this T72 tank, they tried to use the most advanced special steel in the country to engage in a "spear and shield" duel with this tank.
The final result was extremely disappointing - their special steel was completely unable to withstand the T72 tank's armor-piercing projectiles.
This is why the Yanguo military is eager to hope that the 617 Machinery Military Factory can reverse engineer the T72 tank.
Because the combat effectiveness of the T72 tank is really not limited, and the results!
That is of course a failure!
And now the special steel developed by the 077 Machinery Military Factory can actually withstand the armor-piercing projectiles of the T72 tank.
The thickness of the special steel tested previously was 250mm.
The 077 Machinery Military Factory used a thickness of 100mm for this test.
The thickness difference between the two is: 150mm.
what does that mean?
It means that the special steel of 077 Machinery Arsenal is very good.
The big bosses of the Yan Kingdom's military looked happy. Such a powerful special steel could be used in many places.
It will make Yanguo's military industry take off completely!
"Chen Ran, congratulations to your 077 Machinery Military Factory for developing such a powerful special steel."
Zhu Lao on the side came forward to congratulate enthusiastically.
Later, all the senior officials of Yan Kingdom at the scene also came forward to congratulate him with smiles on their faces.
Facing everyone's congratulations, Lin Chenran responded with a smile: "Thank you everyone!"
"But this is not the final limit of our basalt steel!"
"More intensive testing is also needed."
After saying that, Lin Chenran smiled slightly.
He did not feel complacent because the basalt steel withstood the armor-piercing bombardment of the T72 tank at 120 meters. On the contrary, he was in a very calm mood at the moment.
Lin Chenran looked at the staff beside him and said, "As planned, let the T72 tank fire armor-piercing projectiles at a distance of fifty meters!!!"
Following Lin Chenran's order, the commander immediately began to send signals to the driver of the T72 tank.
After receiving the signal, the driver of the T72 tank slowly started the vehicle.
This behemoth drove slowly to the No. 2 shooting range.
Everyone in the audience held their breath again and looked ahead.
Soon, the T72 tank arrived fifty meters in front of target No. 2.
Waiting for the instructor's orders.
Lin Chenran calmly gave instructions to the instructor on the side: "Let's start!"
After receiving the order, the gunner of the T72 tank started operating again.
After a while, an armor-piercing projectile shot out from the muzzle of the T72 tank's 125mm smoothbore gun.
A few seconds later, there was another explosion, and thick smoke billowed around the No. 2 "Xuanwu" steel plate, and heat waves radiated irregularly to the surroundings.
And everyone in the audience looked at it nervously.
They also want to know that the "Xuanwu" steel plates from the 077 Machinery Arsenal can withstand the armor-piercing projectiles of the Mao Xiong T72 tank at fifty meters.
After a while, the thick smoke dissipated, and everyone stared at target No. 2 in the distance with binoculars.
They want to see the results first!
The target reporter began to report the situation of target No. 2: "The T72 tank made a small crater on the 100mm target No. 2 at fifty meters. The steel needle remained on the steel plate and left traces of the explosion. There was no penetration. Transparent basalt steel plate.”
Lin Chenran and others looked at target No. 2. The armor-piercing bullet of the T72 tank was "stuck" on it, and a small crater was created around it after the explosion, but it did not penetrate the basalt steel plate.
"this……"
"hiss!"
Fifty meters away, it withstood the full blow of Mao Xiong's most advanced T72 tank.
Abdul felt like the world was so crazy.
Lin Chenran directly "strike while the iron is hot" and tested the experiment at 20 meters!
