However, to Qin Baoshan, this was nothing at all. Qin Baoshan said: "We have said before that the progress of tank armor technology depends on the update of materials and structures. I have some ideas about this new armor. Now, let's discuss it."
In the time and space where Qin Baoshan came from, tank technology has developed rapidly, and so has armor technology. Simply relying on increasing the thickness cannot meet the needs of the tank at all, so it has to be enhanced through changes in materials and structures. In addition to the need to test with various non-metallic materials, the increase of the tank's protection has also undergone structural innovations.
Conventional armor is called non-confining armor. This restraint armor is a more advanced concept. The armor plate is made into tightly arranged grooves one by one. To describe it specifically, it should be the same as a honeycomb. In the vacant place of the groove, pieces of sandwich-shaped composite armor were put in. Moreover, the area of ??the composite armor is slightly smaller than the area of ??the groove, so that when the enemy's armor-piercing projectile hits this position, the composite armor inside will move back and forth. The multi-layer composite armor moves back and forth repeatedly in this groove, cutting back and forth like a knife. This is called the shear effect. In this way, the kinetic energy of the armor-piercing projectile is weakened, and the tank is ultimately protected.
Karl listened with gusto, just this concept is already very tall, and it does meet Qin Baoshan's prerequisite: to achieve stronger protection through changes in structure and materials, Qin Baoshan said so, he It's amazing to be able to do that
Karl looked at Qin Baoshan full of admiration. Lieutenant Colonel William and Major Cromlin, who were following along to join in the fun, were also very envious and admired.
Qin Baoshan boasted for a while, and then continued: "Besides these, there is another way to obtain a high enough protection. I call it explosive reactive armor. Its principle is that the tank's armor Hang explosives one by one outside, when the enemy¡¯s anti-tank weapons fly over, your own explosives will explode, directly destroying the anti-tank weapons flying over from the opposite side.¡±
These words made everyone stare even more. Can you still do this, the outside of the tank is covered with explosives? Qin Baoshan continued to talk about the design principle of this weapon. Anyway, for him, it doesn't matter if the Americans know about it. A principle is just a principle. If you want to turn a principle into reality, you don't know how long it will take. Take this explosive reactive armor as an example, the principle is very simple, but it is not easy to find a suitable explosive. Ordinary machine gun bullets cannot explode when fired, and only explode when shells fly over, which requires special insensitive explosives. Without ten or twenty years of development, no suitable formula could be found. So now Qin Baoshan is just using it to fool people.
Of course, the effect of deceiving is very good. Just looking at the appearance of these people in front of you, you can tell that they are all convinced by Qin Baoshan's bold imagination. It doesn't matter whether it's Tianan's random guess or not. Only by guessing can it be realized. If you dare not even think about it, how can technology go further?
At this time Karl has also grasped the importance of this armor. He said: "The explosion of this kind of explosive must be very suitable. Machine gun bullets cannot blow it up. Otherwise, when this kind of tank goes to the battlefield, the enemy's machine gun will destroy all the armor."
This is an excellent engineering and technical personnel, one point is clear. You can also add your own analysis and judgment. Qin Baoshan nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, the development of this kind of explosive is the key. But I believe you, the United States has a strong industrial base, and if you want to develop it, you will definitely be able to develop it."
In fact, the Americans have never used this kind of thing at all. It was really amazing when the depleted uranium armor developed by the Americans later, but they don't have these things now.
These things of Qin Baoshan's popular science are worth the 100 motorcycles. This is called knowledge is wealth. Even if Qin Baoshan's science popularization work has come to an end, there is no need to talk about other things.
But just as Qin Baoshan was about to leave, the man named Philips came again. After this person came, he looked at Qin Baoshan for a few more times, and then said to Carl: "There is something wrong with a batch of equipment we produced. The technicians couldn't find the reason in the past. Mr. Carl, if you If you have time, can you help us? And this friend, can you go with us?"
Qin Baoshan was actually invited to troubleshoot for them. Qin Baoshan found it very interesting, but he actually knew nothing. But just understand some advanced ideas. But in the eyes of the opponent, it is already very powerful.
It's like when Qin Baoshan first came, he helped them solve the centrifuge pipeline problem. Simply, as long as a layer of nickel is electroplated, it can be solved. They have followed Qin Baoshan's suggestion and achieved complete success. It is precisely because of this that they want to call Qin Baoshan this time. go together.
"What's wrong?" Carl asked.
"A high-power vacuum pump we produced can't meet the design requirements anyway. The technicians have carefully ground the cylinder and piston parts, but it just can't meet the required vacuum degree."
Hearing this, Qin Baoshan felt that there was no need for him to go. I don't know anything about air pumps, and the other party's technicians can't do it, so what can I do if I go by myself?
Just when Qin Baoshan wanted to refuse, Karl's expression changed. Carl stood up and said to Philip, "Is it from Manhattan?"
When Qin Baoshan heard the words "Manhattan", Qin Baoshan was shocked in his heart. Of course he knew what these words meant. It was definitely not just the simple Manhattan district of New York, but it had a special meaning, and it was also a high-power vacuum machine. What this thing is used for, Qin Baoshan also has some understanding.
This kind of machine is used in the production and research and development of nuclear weapons. This Manhattan area is actually the research and development base of nuclear weapons. Qin Baoshan never thought that he would be able to join in such a lively event when he came to the United States. It can be seen that the other party is indeed anxious, otherwise, he would not have called him over, since he is an outsider after all.
If that's the case, no matter whether you are making a fool of yourself or not, you have to go and have a look. Now that you are here, how can you miss this good opportunity? (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
