Now Kartsev is just a young lad, just like Kalashnikov. He came to Moscow this time only for a business trip, and after hearing about the guests from the East, he made a special visit. He would never know how important this visit would be to his life.
Tanks, the king of land warfare.
Qin Baoshan also made tanks, but his tanks were made by local methods. Everything is rustic. In order to make the tank move, Qin Baoshan used the simplest single-cylinder diesel engine, which only solved the problem of whether it is available or not. There are various defects in use, such as very loud noise, and not very powerful. foot, so the speed of the tank is not fast.
Even so, this kind of tank is also the most precious thing of the Eighth Route Army, and it is used as a strategic weapon by them. The Eighth Route Army headquarters specially formed a tank unit. Even if Li Yunlong wanted to stretch out his hand, it was impossible.
Looking at the Soviet Union, the famous t34 tanks are everywhere. Although the performance of this tank has been seriously outdated, it can only be destroyed in front of the German Tiger tank. However, relying on their large numbers, they can still rush forward to engage in tank sea tactics, and beat the German tank troops into a mess.
The Soviet Union won World War II in this way, so they also think that their way is the most classic, and it has been maintained for decades, and they have a strong tank force. The rolling torrent of armor has always made the West very afraid.
Specifically how strong it is, you can look at a simple comparison, that is, the sum of all Western tanks is not enough for a fraction of the Soviet Union.
In the Soviet army, it is absolutely impossible to just look at the number of tank divisions. Because even the ordinary Soviet motorized infantry has at least one tank regiment in it. Once the war broke out and the tanks all over the mountains and plains rolled over, Western Europe simply couldn't resist it. It can be said that Soviet tanks could appear on the French coastline in a week.
This is inseparable from the contribution of Kartsev. During the Cold War, the t64 and t80 tanks equipped by the Soviet Union were high-end products with high procurement costs, so they could not be equipped in large quantities, while Kartsev's t72 tanks were prepared for the torrent of armor. Such tanks are cheap to manufacture and can be mass-produced.
When Kartsev appeared in front of Qin Baoshan, Qin Baoshan was very moved and recalled many things.
If Kalashnikov ushered in a new era of light weapons, then Kartsev ushered in a new era of heavy weapons. Even when our own country developed its own third-generation tanks, it borrowed the technology of the t72 tank. When the Type 98 tank was built, its appearance was very similar to the T72 tank at that time.
At this time, Kartsev was still an unknown person. It was precisely because of this that he came to visit Qin Baoshan. If he was a famous Soviet tank designer in this era, he would not have looked at Qin Baoshan at all. They don't admire Qin Baoshan's creativity like Air Force aircraft designers. They are very proud, because their tank technology is the strongest in this era.
"Mr. Kartsev, I am very glad to see you." Qin Baoshan respected Kartsev very much. This made Kartsev feel in his heart that these guests from the east were so enthusiastic, and he was also very moved deep in his heart.
"I heard that your Eighth Route Army has also produced a tank," Kartsev said, "It's amazing that you can produce tanks under the conditions of your own backward military industry. I want to know how your tanks are made. made?"
Kartsev first wanted to inquire about Dongfang's tank, so Qin Baoshan didn't hesitate, and directly introduced his own tank. He introduced all the parts of the tank in detail.
After listening to Qin Baoshan's tank plan, Kartsev began to think seriously.
?From a technical point of view, this tank is not too novel, and it reflects the backward style of the local method everywhere, and even the engine of the tank is still a single cylinder. I don¡¯t know how strong the vibration is?
But Kartsev was also able to notice some good design in it.
For example, the transmission system of the tank is eye-opening. This tank does not transmit the power to the front, but directly transmits it to the track at the rear.
With this question in mind, Kartsev began to ask: "This tank of yours. Why not use the front drive solution?"
What else is there to say? Of course it is to save space. Qin Baoshan began to introduce, and at the same time, he felt that this Kartsev was really good enough, and he saw this fall at a glance.The advanced technical concept contained in the ?? tank.
In this era, the engine of the tank is at the back, and it is driven to the front through the drive shaft, just like a car upside down. No one has thought about putting the engine and drivetrain all in the back.
In fact, as long as a simple improvement is made, this brand new power transmission method can be perfectly used.
At this time, listening to Qin Baoshan's introduction, Kartsev only felt a new door opened in front of him. The engine transmission system of the tank can still be designed in this way.
The power mode of the tank is changed from vertical to horizontal, and then two planetary gearboxes are set on both sides to directly transmit the power to the driving wheels on both sides. In this way, the problem of power transmission is perfectly solved, and the volume will be more compact.
There are too many benefits to doing this. If you put all the powertrain at the back, then the space in the front will be freed up.
"It is better for a tank to be lower in shape, so as to reduce the hit area. Tanks in this era are too tall. I have another idea to effectively reduce the height of the tank."
Now that he met Kartsev, Qin Baoshan didn't have any ambiguity, and said everything he thought of.
This can promote the progress of Soviet tank technology, and it is also good for our motherland, because after the war, China and the Soviet Union still have a honeymoon period. The Chinese Type 59 tank is the t54 tank imported from the Soviet Union.
Under the impetus of Qin Baoshan, the tank technology of the Soviet Union has developed greatly. Then when the war is over, when China imports, it may import more advanced tanks, for example, it is already at the T72 level.
As for making enemies with the Soviet Union in the future, that is not something Qin Baoshan has to consider. It is already very good that he can promote the development of the domestic military industry.
Qin Baoshan continued to introduce, and hearing Qin Baoshan's idea of ??lowering the height of the tank made Kartsev's eyes widen even more. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
