Chapter 1470: Tank engine and air conditioner

"Chief Qin, this is our tank factory. Now, we are producing the most advanced main battle tanks that we have developed by ourselves."
General Dennis brought Qin Guan to the tank factory. It was also the first time he came here in the last two years to inspect. As a general of the Air Force, he came to inspect the army’s factory. It was a special case, but it was from Rainbow Nation. The military has always been relatively cooperative, so it did not bring any setbacks.
Qin looked at the head and watched Tariq, the head of the factory, introduce to everyone.
"Our tank was developed in 1976. During the development, we absorbed many of the advantages of the Centurion Tank, and made many major improvements in artillery, engine, suspension, and fire control system. Called the horn tank."
The horn is a paraphrase. The word of the name means "horn made of ivory", so many people also call it an ivory horn tank.
Compared with domestic tanks, this tank is exceptionally tall and tall, which is simply an extreme.
You know, in order to improve the survivability on the battlefield, the tanks of various countries are changing to low. The lower the tank, the harder it is to be found. This is especially true when climbing behind the hillside to ambush.
However, the horn tank in front of me is more than three meters high!
This is simply a living target on the battlefield.
In fact, this is also determined by their environment.
The entire Heizhou is quite backward. If a country has more than 20 T-55 tanks, it can be called a military power.
In the surrounding countries of Rainbow Nation, although there are countries with tanks, it is difficult to pose an effective threat to the horn. Therefore, even if it is taller, there is nothing to fear.
After all, the main force around is the level of T-55, at most it is a monkey version of T-62, there is no more advanced product.
For Rainbow Nation, their tank troops often have to carry out long-distance raids. What they consider is the comfort of their members. Its prototype Centurion Tank is a tall tank.
Now, it is tall and big, allowing a lot of space inside, making it easier for members to fight inside.
At the same time, it was developed entirely for the characteristics of the Rainbow Nation's troops. Look at the bathtub behind its tank turret to get a clearer picture.
Behind the of this thing, there is a bathtub!
In the environment of Heizhou, between battles, he was covered in mud, so he could take a bath, which was simply the most enjoyable.
If the T55 tank is packed with four people in a narrow space, not to mention a week, even if it is a day, the tank crew should be smelly all over.
From a geographical point of view, it is located in the subtropical and tropical regions. The summer is extremely hot and sometimes very dry. The tank crews are bitten by mosquitoes in the wild, and they are covered in soil and mud, making them uncomfortable. This "bath" is one of the most popular devices among the tank soldiers of the Rainbow State.
"The biggest disadvantage of this tank is its lack of power." Qin Guan said from the side.
This tank was ranked tenth in the world tank rankings of the year. Of course, this is also the reason for the Western ranking, but it must be said that this tank is an excellent tank, but it still has shortcomings. of.
The tall tank makes its weight very large, a full 56 tons, which is heavier than our latest Type 80 tank. Although the previous 650-horsepower gasoline engine has been replaced with a 750-horsepower diesel engine, the power is still reserved. Seriously inadequate. And their opponents, T-55 tanks, have better mobility than them.
They are also constantly improving the performance of this tank. The current tank is the Horn-1A. When they continue to develop the Horn-1B, they will further adopt a 950-horsepower diesel engine.
However, a diesel engine of this power is only enough. When they developed the Horn-2 main battle tank, the engine power had been increased to 1250 horsepower. It can be seen that they did not want an advanced power system, but only Their own technology is limited and they must constantly improve the performance of the engine. It is impossible to develop an advanced power system at once. For them, it is already a big step forward for them to switch from a gasoline engine to a diesel engine.
"Yes, our tank engine, now only this 750-horsepower diesel engine is the most suitable." Tariq said to Qin Guan.
"If you have demand, we can provide you with engines." Qin Guan said: "Our domestic diesel engines, from 700 horsepower to 1500 horsepower, have a series of products, you can investigate and choose the most suitable one. power system."
Hearing Qin Guan's words, Tariq was immediately overjoyed. Now, what they hope most is to solve the problem of the power system first. If it can be raised to about a thousand horsepower, it would be best!
"Chief Qin, our tanks here need to fight in a hot climate. Can your power system meet the needs of our region?" Tariq asked.
Not everything will work. Even if you bring the Leopard-2 tank over, you will have to lie down. It is too hot here. The temperature in summer can often reach 48 degrees! It was terrible.
"Of course you can. You should know that the tanks we export to date palm countries can work normally in the hot desert. Moreover, you should also understand that in addition to the normal operation of tank engines, we also have The air conditioning system used by advanced tanks can work normally in bumpy environments." Qin Guan continued.
Not only the engine, but also the air conditioner. In such a hot environment, the surface of the tank can spread egg cakes. Don't you want air conditioners?
Although this thing is enjoyable to use, it is of great help in improving the combat effectiveness of the troops. It can be said that as long as they use it, they will definitely love it.
Qin Guan said that, and indeed, Tariq was tempted: "In this case, we hope you can provide us with some samples for us to test."
"Of course there is no problem. Not only are tanks used, but we also have ordinary armored vehicles, including products used in wheeled armored vehicles."
Apart from other things, if all the armored vehicles in Rainbow Nation were equipped with air conditioners, it would definitely be a big deal. Qin Guan could not sell domestic tanks, but he could sell parts.
As long as he makes money, Qin Guan is willing to do everything.
While talking, everyone walked forward. The tank production workshop was opposite the wheeled tank workshop.
For Rainbow Nation, the need for tanks is not urgent. What they need most is a huge number of wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, which are enough to undertake combat missions.
