Chapter 97: Technology exchange

Compared with Hans, the people of Niu are more polite. Once, Niu was the terrible empire that never sets in the sun, but it has declined, and now the Niu country is getting worse.
However, the lean camel is bigger than the horse. After all, the country of Niu is still an industrialized country, and the country of Han is only the early stage of industrialization.
"You are very welcome." Zhu Lao met two groups of people on this day, and he was really tired. He looked at the Niu Guoren in front of him, full of expectation.
Niuguo Leeds State Royal Arsenal, the main tank development and production plant, as well as representatives of the veteran Vickers factory, about a dozen people also came.
At this point, the two sides are settled and the negotiation begins.
"You have proposed to purchase all the production technology and equipment for our 105mm tank gun. In terms of technology transfer, we have no major problems, but in terms of cost, we must seriously discuss it." Leeds State Royal Armory Said the old John.
The people of Hans are not willing to provide technology. At least they have to buy 500 vehicles before discussing the export of technology. Niu is different.
Niu Guo doesn't care about providing technology. Now, the 105mm tank gun is almost the main equipment of their camp, and all tanks are using this gun.
At the same time, the 105mm tank gun has begun to fall behind, and everyone has begun to move closer to the 120mm. In this case, there is not much risk in exporting the 105 tank gun technology.
As for what the Han people do, it should be to improve their existing huge 59 tank troops. The 100 mm guns used by those tanks are too poor in performance. Now, if Han people get this technology, they will definitely use it. Their 59 tanks changed their guns, thus having more powerful firepower.
It is okay to export some technologies, but the question is what price Han Guo can afford.
Of course, Niu is aware of the negotiations between Han and Hans. The two sides have repeatedly talked down. The main reason is that Han has no money and does not have enough foreign exchange reserves to purchase these equipment. He can't be Lei Feng, right?
Therefore, Old John set the tone first. Of course, it is no problem to sell, but you have to prepare the money!
If you don’t have money, talk a little bit.
"In terms of production equipment, we will invest in purchases. As for technology, we want to exchange technology for technology." Zhu Lao said.
"What?" The Niu Guoren on the other side smiled, changing technology? What technology do you have? What a joke! This is simply today, no, the funniest joke I've heard this year!
"For the technology of the 1500 horsepower engine, we can first provide you with a design drawing." Zhu Lao said.
1500 horsepower engine! When he heard this, the person on the other side suddenly became serious. How could this technique belong to the Han Chinese? It should be Hans nationality!
Could it be...
No matter what, let’s take a look first. Now, Niu Guo desperately needs a high-horsepower engine!
In fact, in the previous world war, Niu Country already had more than 2000 horsepower piston engines, but they were all aero engines.
The aero engine focuses on high horsepower, while the engine used in the tank focuses on low torque. Therefore, if the aero engine is placed on the tank, it is destined to be a tragedy.
In fact, the next generation of tanks was originally planned by Niu Guo and Han Si Guo to work together, but the two sides had different opinions, and the twisted melon was not sweet, so they parted ways.
Therefore, Hans State produced the Leopard-2 tank, and Niu State himself formulated the MBT-80 tank plan to replace the \"Chivotan\". This MBT-80 tank has very high technical indicators, and it took a long time. It didn't come out, and later, Niu Guoren decided to adopt the mature technology of MBT-80 plan, launch FV4030/4, and renamed it "Challenger".
And now, the MBT-80 tank is in the state of abortion. One of its important problems is the engine!
With the emergence of Chobam's armor, Niu Guoren finally made a leap in armor protection, but Chobam's armor is very heavy.
When it was designed, the tank's own weight had reached 55 tons. This is still a preliminary estimate. It can easily reach 60 tons. This is a terrible figure.
It needs a 1500 horsepower engine to drive it better. However, after repeated searches, only Perkins Engine Company promised to develop and produce the Condor 12V-1200 turbocharged diesel engine, which is at 2300r/ The power is 1200 horsepower at min.
Moreover, there is still a long way to go before the development is successful.
This requires a huge amount of capital investment, and the country Niu’s current funds are very tight. It is because of this that they came to Han, hoping to sell their 105mm tank guns at a good price, and go back and continue to toss MBT-80.
And now, the Han Chinese in front of them actually say that they have 1500 horsepower engine technology?
In Niu Guoren's surprised eyes, Zhu Lao opened the briefcase with one of his own hands, and took out a drawing from it. The dense mechanical structure made people dizzy at first glance.
That is the overall structure diagram of the 1500 horsepower engine. Just look at it and you can know that this thing is used on the Leopard-2 tank!
Could it be that they have reached a power system agreement with Hans State? Or did they steal it? Well, I'm afraid the latter is more likely, right?
"Yes, it is a drawing of a 1500 horsepower engine, but you should know that just a drawing is not enough." Old John continued.
If you can imitate it with a single drawing, the world won't need any patent rights. It's useless and can be imitated directly.
The detailed drawings of each component, the processing process, the assembly of the parts, etc., all the technical information of this engine, I am afraid that you have to use a car to pull!
In later generations, a country that thought it was powerful, bought parts of Hans’s 1500 horsepower engine, assembled it by itself, and assembled exactly the same thing with its own hands. It turned out that even 1000 horsepower could not reach .
Under the gaze of the other person, Zhu Lao is quite confident. In fact, he has this drawing in his hand.
"We have the remaining drawings. As long as you provide all the drawings of the 105mm gun, we will provide the remaining drawings together." Zhu Lao said: "Can you accept the technical exchange plan we proposed? "
"We need to contact China." Old John said, he carefully put away the drawing: "Can we take this drawing?"
"Of course." Zhu Lao is very generous, knowing that after the other party returns, he will definitely look at this drawing with a magnifying glass.
