Chapter 519: The main force of the army in the new century (10,000 per day, happy new year to my brothers!)
Lin Qingsong's report can be called encouraging both in terms of content and his personal performance.
Although the Army has long been the big brother among the various services of the People's Liberation Army, it must be admitted that for a long time, the research and development and equipment of ground weapons have been the most out of touch and backward.
The Type 69 tank was not equipped, and the Type 79 and 80/88 tanks were only equipped in a few batches.
Therefore, until the late 1990s, the absolute main force of the Chinese Army was still the Type 59 tank with a technical status equivalent to the T54A (1953).
Even simplified in some places.
Although the role of the navy and air force in wars under high-tech conditions in the new era is constantly increasing, China, as a continental country with a vast land area and a complex international environment, still cannot abandon its army equipment.
The model projected on the screen in front of you is the third-generation main battle tank developed for the 21st century.
As of 1998, this project has been ongoing for more than 15 years.
From the beginning, it was almost a replica of the T72. Later, it was completely overturned and started to turn to Western design habits. Later, it gradually returned to its own design ideas. It was discovered that the initial indicators could not be achieved in a short time, so the project was Divided into two steps...
Of course everyone wants to build a tank that meets the requirements of the army in one step, but this is the reality.
Although the Air Force can pass through the field in low-altitude formation, considering safety issues, it cannot fly too low.
Prototypes and first-stage mass production models are expected to only carry a total weight of less than 50 tons, and their off-road speed is also greatly limited.
And the effect is also greatly affected by the weather.
The chassis has always been the weakest link in the entire system.
Can understand the tank chassis, let alone lighter and smaller models...
Hence, the first and most important role in the equipment formation can only be the tank.
“The main problem currently faced by the traveling part is the reliability of the gearbox. However, recently some suppliers have told us that they have replaced the gear set and bearings with new special steel materials, and are currently testing them..."
However, the development progress of the third generation tank is not optimistic.
Another deputy chief engineer leaned forward slightly and asked.
Furthermore, more importantly, the hard time nodes of Project 9910 cannot be changed.
As the deputy chief designer, he is mainly responsible for the research and development of the walking mechanism, but compared to subsystem designers like Lin Qingsong, he also has to consider the performance of the entire system.
After all, tanks are basically the upper limit of the weight and impact of ground equipment.
This achievement in Lin Qingsong's report means that the Chinese armored forces have since obtained a pair of powerful and reliable "foot soles."
Future second-stage models are even further away.
After Lin Qingsong finished the last part of his statement, Deputy Chief Mao Ming sat up straight and continued to add another part:
In the National Day military parade, the navy's main battleships cannot sail on dry land, so it is naturally impossible for them to appear.
"In addition to longer life and faster speed, the vertical vibration and pitch angle vibration of the tank when driving also have a significant impact on the high and low aiming and shooting of the artillery. This new chassis is very effective during driving, especially when passing through rough roads at high speeds. The stability is better, which means that the vibration disturbance is more controllable, and it is also conducive to the development of our future gun control system. "
Even, it can be applied to the chassis development of other equipment.
This is tantamount to an Achilles' heel for an armored unit whose second life is mobility.
To this end, they even seriously considered for a time the possibility of using a prototype vehicle to conduct a military parade...
“So in the next stage, we will test a batch of prototypes using the old turret and the new chassis?”
“You can first take out the wedge-shaped armor designed for the first-stage mass production model. It would be too wasteful to install a small turret on such a good chassis. As for the gun problem, we can solve it later.”
At this point, Master Zhu finally stopped writing in his hand, raised his head and said.
ˆ As the project leader responsible for overall research and development, he has more things to think about and record. In addition, he lost his right arm in the war, which affected his writing speed to some extent.
His statement was of course the final word, and it also brought a successful conclusion to the seminar that lasted for several hours.
The remaining topics are relatively easy.
“Xiao Lin.”
Zhu Yusheng closed his notebook and called to Lin Qingsong, who had just stepped off the stage and was about to return to his seat:
“Were all the members of our project team completed what you just talked about by themselves?” The meaning of this question is naturally to ask whether we received help from the die forging press.
Mr. Zhu certainly has no objections to Chang Haonan and the project team there.
But he needs to evaluate the true level of his team members.
Lin Qingsong was stunned when he was suddenly called, and then told the truth:
“In terms of research methods and numerical calculation theory, I must have received a lot of guidance from brother units, especially Mr. Chang himself.”
“However, the specific work related to vehicle chassis development is all completed by comrades in the institute themselves.”
“Mr. Chang and others also expressed their intention to provide some direct help, but I made the decision and refused.”
“After all, we are joining other people's projects, so it's better not to delay too much. Besides, we have to do it ourselves before we can count it as something we have learned..."
Hearing this answer, Zhu Yusheng nodded with satisfaction:
“Okay, okay, in this way, after our third-generation tanks are finalized, you can show your capabilities on other models...”
The meaning of this statement is obviously that the next step is to let Lin Qingsong "go out" and serve as the chief engineer or deputy chief engineer of some minor models.
“I wish you the best…”
Lin Qingsong hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his thoughts:
“I feel that I don't have to wait until the third-generation tank is finalized. As long as the die forging press project is completed, I should be able to free up my hands.”
This answer stunned Zhu Yusheng:
“Isn't the die forging press project just established last year? And it's still a preliminary research project in name.”
“It will take a few years until everything is finished over there, right?”
However, Lin Qingsong shook his head decisively:
“According to the timetable set by President Chang, the equipment should be put into trial production before September 1999.”
The words spoken in a low voice immediately caused the other people who were talking around to immediately become silent and look at Lin Qingsong.
Zhu Yusheng was silent for a while before speaking again:
“Do you think this timetable...is not an exaggeration?”
Lin Qingsong nodded first and then shook his head.
Finally, he simply answered directly:
“Based on their current efficiency, I can't feel that in September 1999…”
ifier
A sound of breathing sounded from all directions.
I have to say, it's a bit exaggerated.
But it's definitely good news.
If the die forging press project is completed one day earlier, a large number of technical forces in the ordnance industry system can be liberated one day earlier.
If you could all be like Lin Qingsong and apply what you have learned and thought to the projects at hand...
It is basically foreseeable that the main battle equipment of the Chinese Army will soon make a qualitative leap.
After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Zhu Yusheng looked at Lin Qingsong in front of him again:
“In this case, there should be a tracked paratrooper combat vehicle project later, which is currently under pre-research, and you can be responsible for the entire work.”
“In addition, in two days, you will go to the Science and Technology Commission with me to report the current development progress of the third-generation tank to the superior leaders.”
The latter's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes! I will be well prepared when I go back!"
