Chapter 348: Battle fortress

day!
This is the gift?
Apocalyptic tank as a gift?
wrong!
It is a drawing!
It is a design drawing!
It's not a real thing at all!
The final object must be made by itself.
He squinted at Peng Deming.
No need to ask, this guy is definitely a tank fanatic.
That is, he will bring out the design drawings of the Apocalypse tank. Changed someone else and regarded it as a product of a madman.
During the Cold War, the military power of the Soviet Union was really too strong. Whether it is design or production, there is no one before and no one has come after. This apocalyptic tank is their masterpiece.
However, there are very few samples of the Apocalypse tank. The quality is not enough. It is far from the original intention of the designer.
Now everyone's knowledge of the Apocalypse tank is basically from the Red Alert series.
In fact, this tank was designed in the 1960s.
It was a crazy age.
The whole earth is in a certain state of fanaticism.
The designer of the Apocalypse tank is obviously also affected by this, pursuing big and comprehensive.
The ground must crush the opponent.
Strong air defense is also required.
The design concept is not wrong. Unfortunately, I can't do it.
Under the conditions at the time, even with all the effort, there was no way to meet the design requirements. Finally, it can only be shelved.
To this day, the so-called No. 138 prototype still exists.
However, no one noticed anymore.
Now is the world of armed helicopters.
If it is not covered by air power, the tank troops go out alone to find death.
What is Peng Deming going to do?
What does the above mean?
Or did he mean it?
It feels like the latter. He may be too persistent.
It is true that the Apocalypse tank is indeed the most powerful ground combat unit. No other tank can compare.
However, these are all design parameters. Not really performance.
In fact, the Apocalypse tank is slow and dumb.
Mainly slow.
The moving speed is too slow. Urgent.
Its maximum moving speed does not exceed 20 kilometers per hour. It is simply a living target.
"Don't worry, let's study it slowly."
"it is good."
Wang Bu'an sat down.
Peng Deming took the initiative to pour tea and deliver water. At first glance, there is something to ask for.
It really was this guy's own idea. Most senior leaders don't know. Otherwise, wouldn't it be easier to directly download the official letter to the 220 Institute?
"What do you think of this big guy?" Peng Deming said eagerly.
"Very good." Wang Bu'an replied conservatively.
In terms of performance, it is really good.
A full length of 11 meters.
A full width of 5 meters.
A full weight of 110 tons.
Can he say bad? If you say something bad, you will be bombarded directly.
Four broad tracks.
Two 128mm caliber 52-caliber guns...
Wrong, not 52 times the caliber.
It is 75 times the caliber.
Why use 75 times the caliber?
Mainly related to the lethality of tank guns. The larger the caliber, the more powerful the shell.
During World War II, Germany’s famous 88 guns were 71 times the caliber, and their power was terrifying. Its ejection speed is very high. Once it hits the target, the penetrating power is very strong.
However, the larger the double caliber, the higher the requirements for the barrel.
Must be able to withstand extreme pressure.
It must be the temptation of natural gravity.
The slender and long barrel is easy to bend due to gravity.
Certain 45-caliber barrels require a supporting device in the middle to prevent long-term static deformation of the barrel.
If it is 75 times the caliber, the influence of this natural gravity will be more serious.
There are two ways to avoid the influence of natural gravity.
First, better materials.
Second, a better manufacturing process.
Obviously, the Soviet Union in the 1960s could not do it. It has no such steelmaking technology.
When it comes to sophisticated things, the Americans and Germans are great.
As a result, this 75-caliber 128mm main gun has not passed the acceptance.
Peng Deming turned out a lot of information.
They were all obtained when the Soviet Union collapsed.
From the translated data, the life span of this 128mm tank gun is only about 50 rounds.
Obviously, this number is destined to be impossible for real combat.
How can it be possible without an actual life span of more than 500 rounds?
The service life of modern tank guns is generally more than 1,000 rounds.
If you use a four-level high-temperature wear-resistant alloy, the life span must exceed 10,000 rounds. Maybe it will be higher.
"Look at this again."
"Missile launcher?"
The most special thing about the Apocalypse tank is its powerful air defense capability.
It is equipped with 12 or 16 air defense missiles.
It may be useless for fighter jets and bombers.
However, it is absolutely deadly for an attack aircraft that passes by at low altitude, or an armed helicopter.
Especially armed helicopters are very easy to lose in front of air defense missiles.
Even three apocalypses were replaced by an armed helicopter, it was completely over.
In the Red Alert series of games, the air defense missiles of the Apocalypse tanks are often used to fight airborne troops, which is simply a waste.
However, in the real world, these anti-aircraft missiles will only be used to destroy aircraft.
Wang Bu'an carefully studied the four missile launchers.
Not to mention, practicality is indeed there.
Each missile launcher is equipped with three anti-aircraft missiles.
Similar to Stinger, Starlight, Vanguard 3 and the like. Various models can be installed without any obstacles.
Not only can a single shot be fired, but also two bursts or three bursts can be fired.
Air targets should also be very headaches when faced with such dense air defense missiles.
At least, if the armed helicopter wants to wreak havoc, it is unlikely.
As far as the weapon system is concerned, the Apocalypse tank is indeed perfect. There is almost no point of fault.
but……
The other parts are bad.
"Do you know what its biggest flaw is?" Peng Deming asked, worrying about gains and losses.
"Motion!" Wang Buyan answered without hesitation.
That's right, it's motivation!
The Apocalypse tank is too heavy, over 100 tons.
It is destined to be used only in the Northern Great Plains.
However, even if it is used in a flat and open place, it is not easy to drive a body of hundreds of tons.
After all, it is not traveling on cement roads. It is to fight. It is to cross country.
How much power does it need?
According to theoretical calculation, at least 3000 horsepower. The more the better.
Under the conditions at the time, it was impossible to make such a powerful diesel engine. Even if there is, the volume will be very large. Or the fuel consumption is very high.
This is the reason why the Apocalypse tank has never been mass-produced.
There is no way to solve the power problem.
The speed is too slow to be useful at all.
The power of just a few hundred horses is definitely a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, it was sealed in dust.
However, the appearance of the Rock 150 gave the Apocalypse Tank a hope.
To be precise, it is the Rock 500, a model with a full 10,000 horsepower.
If it is really 10,000 horsepower, even if it is more than 100 tons of apocalypse, it can be pushed around.
Even with additional weapons and equipment, it can still travel thousands of miles every day.
Isn't that what the Apocalypse tank needs is such a power?
The problem of power is solved.
However, there are still many problems.
Hydraulic system.
Electronic control system.
Such a behemoth has very high requirements for the hydraulic system.
For the time being, it is estimated that the hydraulic system of a super large excavator is needed. It is even more demanding. This hydraulic system is not readily available, and must be specially designed.
The same is true for electronic control systems.
Apocalypse tanks are different from general tanks. The system cannot be used universally.
In other words, it must be designed from scratch and step by step. Including its road wheels and crawlers. There are all other parts.
"How? Can you get some prototype cars out?"
"can."
Wang Buyan also exploded with ambition.
Simply transforming 96A, 99A or something is really not addictive. That is someone else's work.
If you want to do it, do something special.
The most critical issue of the Apocalypse Tank is the raw materials and manufacturing process.
Can he solve these problems?
of course can.
He has enough raw materials.
Each square centimeter of four-grade hard alloy can withstand a heavy pressure of 15,000 tons.
The manufacturing process does not need to worry about.
There are hydraulic presses of 50 billion tons.
There are also robot elves.
There are also robots that are about to appear.
"Where is it produced?" Wang Bu'an asked cautiously.
"You decide by yourself." Peng Deming replied ~EbookFREE.me~ What does it mean? "
"It is impossible for our existing military system to produce Apocalypse tanks. Without such resources, there is no such technology."
"Oh……"
Wang Buan understood.
This is the legendary historical mission.
Anyway, the task is left to you. You find a way to finish.
If you really produce the Apocalypse tank, it is naturally a good thing. Praise immediately.
If it is not produced, there is no problem. Anyway, it doesn't cost the defense industry a penny. Is to give you a weapons and equipment production license. The manufacturing cost is fifty cents.
With a legal certificate, it is not illegal production and illegal possession.
It really is a deep routine.
It happened that Wang Buan took the initiative to get caught in.
Mainly this thing... Hey, it's really interesting!
If you can figure it out, it can be considered a great achievement. At least, I have a sense of accomplishment.
Even, he can also modify various patterns.
I can add two 75mm guns behind the turret and fire it backwards.
Short-barreled howitzers can also be installed on the sides of the turret.
All directions, no dead ends, do whatever you want.
Even more anti-aircraft missiles were installed to turn them into a real battle fortress.
No matter if you come from the sky, come from the earth, and meet me, it is a dead end. This road is driven by me, and this tree is planted by me. I want to pass here and leave my life.
In short, this is not a mere tank.
This is a pure mobile battle fortress.
Fight the sky and the air.
"Have any of you done this research?"
"Yes. I'm all concentrated."
"Where are they?"
"Steel City."
"Okay. Let's go to Steel City at once."
