Chapter 1865: Technical seminar

    Thinking of not knowing what engine to use, Karl was a little embarrassed there.  Seeing his appearance, Qin Baoshan said, "Do you have any questions?"

    Hearing Qin Baoshan's question, Carl was embarrassed. He said to Qin Baoshan: "We don't have a suitable tank engine at present. We have many gasoline engines in our country, but there are few types of diesel engines, and the power is not enough.  .¡±

    For a long time, diesel was considered an inferior fuel and many vehicles were reluctant to use it.  Whether it is a car or a tank, gasoline engines were basically used in the early days.  In fact, even the Soviet Union used gasoline engines in the early days. It was not until the famous t-34 tank that diesel engines were used, and a generation of classic legends began.  Not only the t34 tank, but even later, even after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the improved model of this engine was still in service.

    Hearing Carl's words, Qin Baoshan just wanted to laugh.  It's as if you have a special gasoline engine for tanks. The famous m3 tank still uses an aero engine. Americans don't seem to be very interested in tanks at all.

    Qin Baoshan held back his laughter and said to Carl: "The United States is a powerful industrial country. Can't it even find a suitable diesel engine? If you can't find it, then develop it yourself, or find a mature diesel engine from abroad.  It¡¯s not a problem to imitate it. For example, the Soviet tanks used diesel engines. With your current relationship, needless to say, you need a sample engine. Even if you want to use a tank, the Soviet Union will provide you with it.  Yes, even the estimated design drawings can be given to you.¡±

    What Qin Baoshan said is not wrong. Now the Americans are providing assistance to the Soviet Union. They can provide the Soviet Union with anything useful. There are tens of thousands of tanks, aircraft and artillery.  Isn't it a child's play to ask the Soviets for a tank they produced?

    But this sentence sounded a bit wrong to Carl's ears.  The United States is industrially developed. Does it still need to copy other people's tanks?  Saying this kind of thing is simply insulting.

    So hearing what Qin Baoshan said, Karl immediately shook his head: "Of course not, we can solve the diesel engine problem by ourselves."

    The United States has many well-known automobile factories. These cars are now mainly gasoline, but in the future, they will be mainly diesel.  So the United States still has to come up with their diesel engines.  Now Qin Baoshan is just urging them to make an early move.

    Qin Baoshan is just a simple aggressive method, which has already aroused the fighting spirit in Karl's chest. For the United States, this is indeed a child's disease.  They will definitely complete this task, and use advanced diesel engines for the tank to reduce the chance of the tank burning.

    Qin Baoshan continued to say there: "When tanks use diesel engines, there are many benefits. For example, the fuel consumption of diesel engines is relatively low, so the cruising range of tanks using diesel engines will be greatly increased. Your current tanks use gasoline fuel.  It can run 200 kilometers. But if you switch to a diesel engine, you can easily reach 500 kilometers."

    This is another benefit of the diesel engine, Karl nodded repeatedly.  The Soviet t-34 can run 500 kilometers with one refueling, because it uses a diesel engine.

    At this time, Lieutenant Colonel William has been watching from the side.  He was supposed to be the protagonist, but now it has been given to Qin Baoshan.  Today was originally to test the shooting situation of the rocket launcher.  Who would have thought that it would now become a discussion meeting on tank technology.

    Lieutenant Colonel William finally found an opportunity, and said there: "Everyone, you are all elites in this industry. Do you think our airborne troops can use tanks?"

    It seems that there is nothing to discuss about this issue. When the Soviets showed their airborne troops for the first time, they dropped a tank by air.  It's just that the tank broke down at that time, and it was dragged away in the eyes of everyone on the Red Square, which can be regarded as an accidental episode.

    But that's just a demonstration, if you really want to airdrop tanks, it still needs a lot of work.

    The airborne troops can only use light weapons, which makes the airborne troops have great disadvantages in actual combat. They can only walk on two legs and fight with rifles in their hands. Compared with the armored troops, their strength is too weak.

    Now Lieutenant Colonel William just wants to turn the topic around. It would be great if he could equip his paratroopers with a batch of tanks.

    Hearing his words, Carl shook his head: "I don't think it's a good idea to throw the tank off the plane."

    Even if it is an ordinary light tank,??There is also a lot of uncertainty about landing from the plane, and Carl immediately dismissed the idea.

    So William looked up at Qin Baoshan again, hoping that Qin Baoshan could give him hope. At this time, Qin Baoshan also shook his head there: "I also think that it is unrealistic to equip the airborne troops with tanks. Even light  Tanks can't be easily stuffed into the cabin of a transport plane. Without a suitable transport plane, the tank can only be hung on the wing, which is simply acrobatics."

    Qin Baoshan said it from another angle. After all, the airframes of current aircraft are very narrow, and they are not suitable for transporting large items such as tanks.

    William was a little disappointed, and he was still thinking about getting more powerful equipment for his paratroopers.  Who would have thought that Qin Baoshan would not support his idea at all.

    Seeing his disappointed expression, Qin Baoshan continued: "But if the paratroopers want to improve their mobility, it is still possible. For example, you can have a lightweight folding motorcycle with a simple design."

    At this time, Qin Baoshan was just talking nonsense, and he was playing the role of a military designer here.  And Qin Baoshan also knew that there were indeed motorcycle guns used by paratroopers during World War II.  Motorcycles can be very simple and light in weight, making them easy to throw from airplanes.

    Although it's just a motorcycle, it's much faster than walking on two legs.  Paratroopers can have greater mobility.

    This is more or less a solution.  Lieutenant Colonel William thought about it and felt that this plan was still feasible.  So he nodded: "You are right, we can design a special motorcycle. I wonder if you can give us some help in this regard?"

    Before Qin Baoshan could speak, Carl said from the side: "Our factory has produced motorcycles before. So, if you have any ideas, you can come to us and turn them into reality." (Remember the website address  : www.hlnovel.com
