Chapter 2375 Layout for the future

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Your engine layout plan is very creative, and the overall height reduction problem is also very ingenious. Now we want to ask you for advice on the firepower of the tank." Morozov began to ask Qin Baoshan:  "What is the most suitable caliber for our tank guns in the future?"

    In this era, the caliber of tank guns is getting bigger and bigger.  When the t34 tank came out, it used a 76mm barrel.  At the beginning, it was invincible, but after the Tiger and King Tiger came out, these tank guns could not penetrate each other, so they raised their barrels to a caliber of 85 mm.

    Since they still use their own anti-aircraft guns, it is easy to modify, but the caliber of this gun is still not enough.  If you want to continue to increase the armor-piercing performance of the tank, you must continue to increase the caliber.

    However, this caliber is not unlimited. After all, the larger the caliber, the more recoil the turret has to bear, and the fewer shells it can carry.  More importantly, the larger the caliber, the heavier the shell. In this case, it will bring a lot of burden to the loader inside the tank. If the loader cannot load the shells in time, then the enemy may be the first to attack.  Open fire and destroy.

    Now Soviet tanks use a variety of artillery, except for the 76mm and 85mm, and there is even a tank gun that uses a 122mm naval gun.  Although the firepower is powerful, the reload speed is too slow.

    At this time, Morozov first asked Qin Baoshan about this question.

    "If you look at the current demand, a 100mm tank gun is enough. This kind of tank gun is also the limit for the loader to load the shells. Our navy has a 100mm naval gun, which can be used as a new type.  But if you want to deal with the threats that you will face in the next ten or even 20 years, then the caliber of the 100mm tank gun is not big enough. Then you need a larger caliber gun, such as 125mm.¡±

    Anyway, it's just bragging now, just talking on paper, you can say whatever you want.  Qin Baoshan immediately mentioned the caliber of tank guns during the Cold War.

    "But with such a large-caliber artillery, our loaders will not be able to complete the loading of the shells." Morozov said to Qin Baoshan.

    "Of course, this kind of artillery will bring great problems to the loader. However, we can also solve the problem through technical means. For example, we can use an automatic loader."

    Morozov looked at Qin Baoshan as if he was looking at an alien. He opened his eyes wide and asked Qin Baoshan, "What did you say? Automatic loading machine? How is this possible?"

    In this era, there were indeed mechanical loading of shells, which were mainly used on naval warships.  The caliber of naval naval guns is very large, and the shells are also very heavy.  Some shells are even taller than the sailors. How can such shells be loaded by manpower? Mechanical equipment is needed.

    In their eyes, the volume of equipment loaded with machinery is very large, so how can it be stuffed into the tank?

    Morozov was very surprised, and other tank designers were also very surprised. Looking at their eyes, Qin Baoshan smiled: "I have a design principle of an automatic loading machine here, which can be used as a reference for you.  .¡±

    Having said that, Qin Baoshan asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and began to draw on the dining table.  This is a very simple rotary autoloader, commonly used on Soviet tanks.  Although it is not needed now, the Soviets will definitely be able to use it in the future.  If they have been familiar with each other in the past few years.  Maybe our first five-year plan will be able to introduce this kind of tank.

    Qin Baoshan drew it with ease, and then explained the principle of his automatic loading machine. These people were surprised again.

    This thing seems to be very mysterious, but Qin Baoshan's explanation seems very simple.  It can be done with normal mechanical equipment. Of course, if you want to be able to choose the right type of ammunition, you must have advanced electronic equipment, but this is not within the scope of Qin Baoshan's consideration.  It's pretty good that he can draw these mechanisms for them.

    The ammunition of the automatic loader is divided into upper and lower rows, one row is the propellant, and the other row is the warhead. The matching ammunition is lifted to the top by a lifting mechanism, and then pushed into the barrel by the push rod.  The whole process basically does not require human intervention.

    It took the people present more than ten minutes to comprehend the mystery. When they went to see Qin Baoshan again, everyone's eyes were already full of admiration.  The design idea is so ingenious that people can hardly believe that this is an automatic loader that can be used on tanks.

    ??In this way, one loader can be reduced inside the tank, and only two people are needed inside the turret,¡± Qin Baoshan said: ¡°In this way, we can also have more tank crew members.  "

    In this era, German tanks had five crew members, while Soviet tanks generally had four crew members, and one radio operator was missing.  Now Qin Baoshan's design can further reduce the number of people, as long as three people are enough.  what does that mean?

    In this war, the Soviet Union fought a war of attrition.  A large number of their tanks were destroyed by the Germans. If there is one less crew member in the tank, it means that one less person can be sacrificed, which means that one third more tanks can be compiled.  There can be more tanks and personnel to consume.

    Morozov sighed for a long time. He already accepted Qin Baoshan's suggestion. Even if it can't be used now, it can be used in the future. After all, the caliber of tanks is getting bigger and bigger, which is a trend.  Maybe five or ten years later, their tanks will be all automatic loading machines.

    From this point of view, the plan Qin Baoshan provided them has greater significance.  Morozov said: "You are such a genius, it would be great if you could stay in our tank design bureau."

    Qin Baoshan shook his head: "I'm sorry, my motherland is at war. Now, my motherland needs me. If there is a chance in the future, I hope we can cooperate again. I really want to bring advanced Soviet tanks to our country."

    After seeing off Morozov and others, Qin Baoshan glanced at his watch and found that it was actually late at night again.  Ever since he came to the Soviet Union, Qin Baoshan's previous good routine has been completely disrupted.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
