Chapter 304 Designing a New Tank
Although they had heard of terms like radar and computer, they had never thought of using them on tanks.
Seeing this, Li Yang immediately picked up a pen and started to draw on the map: "Here, there is a laser rangefinder installed on the turret, thermal imagers and electro-optical sights on both sides, and meteorological measurement equipment on the top.
These are all connected to the central computer to calculate trajectory in real time and transmit fire control data.
The gunner only needs to look at the display, follow the voice prompts, pull the trigger, and the computer will do the rest.
Everyone was stunned and speechless for a long time.
After a long while, General Lin finally came to his senses and excitedly slammed the table and said, "Xiao Li, your fire control system is a revolutionary breakthrough! With it, our tanks will be even more powerful and invincible, right?"
"That's right!" Li Yang was full of fighting spirit. "With advanced fire control and powerful firepower, the combat effectiveness of Project 99 will surely be the best in the world!"
Even if the two countries have cutting-edge tanks, they may not be a match!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the blood of all the soldiers present boiled.
They have already witnessed the extraordinary talent of this young genius, so how could they not believe his bold words?
General Lin was extremely excited and wanted to make a decision immediately.
He held Li Yang's hand tightly and said firmly: "Xiao Li, I leave this matter to you! Just go ahead and do it. I will get you any resources you need!"
We will strive to build our own cutting-edge tanks as soon as possible and impress the world!"
Li Yang felt that the responsibility was heavy and nodded repeatedly: "General, rest assured, I will do my best and live up to everyone's expectations!" In this way, the meeting ended successfully in an exciting atmosphere.
Li Yang left the venue in high spirits, with great enthusiasm in his heart.
He didn't expect that the idea he casually mentioned would become a real task so quickly.
For him, this is both an opportunity and a challenge.
In a sense, the future of the new Yan country's tanks lies in the hands of this young man.
……
After returning home, Li Yang was thinking hard at his desk, with a mountain of information in his hands?1?8
Among them, there are both Type 59 and other models of tanks currently in service in the New Yan State, as well as those under development.
We also introduced the technical parameters of the Russian T-54?1?8T-55.
Li Yang flipped through them one by one and soon had a general understanding of the development of the new Yan country's tanks.
Currently, the main tank of Xinyan Country is the Type 59.
59式是50年代在毛熊T-54基础上改进的,采用100毫米滑膛炮,最大射程14公里,配备稳定器,可实现行进间射击。
The armor is made using welding technology, with a front thickness of 200 mm, and alloy armor is used for the first time.
The power is a 12150L diesel engine with 520 horsepower and a maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour.
The entire vehicle weighs 36 tons and is a medium tank.
Li Yang couldn't help but admire in his heart that the Type 59 was unique in those days and comparable to the T-54 series, especially the fire control system, which integrated a rangefinder, direction finder, slide rule and other equipment, which was really rare.
Looking at the Type 64, it basically follows the design of the Type 59, but with some minor improvements.
For example, the main gun was upgraded to a 100mm rifled gun, and the initial velocity was slightly increased;
The armor adopts casting technology to improve the protection; the power is replaced by 12150L-7 engine with 580 horsepower and better maneuverability.
In general, it is a step forward from the level of the late 50s.
The main gun is still a 100mm rifled gun, but it is equipped with an advanced laser rangefinder to greatly improve shooting accuracy.
The power is increased to 730 horsepower, and a hydromechanical transmission is adopted, making the control more flexible.
The latest one is said to be equipped with a 105mm rifled gun, composite armor and a periscope.
If new equipment such as gun control radar can be successfully developed, it will surely enter the ranks of modern tanks!
Li Yang remained silent. As a "son of the future", he knew the performance of these tanks very well.
Although they were considered the most advanced in the 21s and 1s, the gap is huge compared to the cutting-edge models of the 8st century.
Just as Li Yang was thinking, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind:
[System prompt: The host has unlocked the tank engineer skill, currently at the primary level, continue to read relevant information to upgrade the level]
So, Li Yang studied the materials more carefully.
Soon, a large amount of information flooded into my mind:
From the 50s to the 21st century, from the East to the West, famous tanks from various periods and regions flashed before our eyes.
毛熊的T-54、T-72、T-90,美国的M48、M1A2,德国的豹1、豹2,法国的AMX-30,日本的74式?1?890式......
Li Yang was eagerly absorbing it, as if he had opened a treasure house of knowledge.
At the same time, cutting-edge technologies are emerging one after another:
【系统提示:125毫米滑膛炮技术已解锁,射程4000米,穿深600毫米?1?8】
[System prompt: The third generation composite armor technology has been unlocked, frontal protection 1000 mm equivalent? 1? 8]
【系统提示:1500马力柴油机技术已解锁,最大功率1500马力,油耗降低30%?1?8】
[System prompt: Advanced fire control system technology has been unlocked, including gun control computer, laser rangefinder, thermal imaging, all-weather combat capability?1?8]
......
Li Yang only felt that a strange power was continuously pouring into him, making his mind more active than ever before.
It was as if a pair of skillful hands were constantly assembling something in his brain, and it was as if countless gears were spinning rapidly, making a rumbling sound.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Yang suddenly raised his head, with beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead.
Only then did he realize that he had been completely immersed in the new field and had completely forgotten the passage of time.
At this time, the system's voice came again:
[Congratulations to the host, the experience accumulation has reached 100%, the tank engineer has been upgraded to advanced, and a large number of modern tank design drawings have been unlocked? 1? 8]
Li Yang's heart was shocked and he felt extremely excited.
He didn't expect that just looking up information once could lead to such a huge improvement in his skills.
It seems that I am no longer far away from Project 99.
At this moment, Li Yang devoted himself to his work without sleep or food.
With the tank technology from various countries and the endless stream of brilliant ideas in his mind, he was like a completely different person.
I saw him sketching quickly, conceiving, and pondering over the design on the drawing.
Gradually, a brand new future tank appeared on paper:
Streamlined body, tilted and variable armor, equipped with reactive armor and active defense.
The 125mm smoothbore gun stands proudly, with a flash suppressor at the muzzle, capable of firing armor-piercing shells, armor-piercing shells and guided shells;
The all-electric advanced fire control system includes the gunner's periscope, the gunner's thermal imager, laser rangefinder, and meteorological measurement to quickly lock onto the target;
The automatic loading machine replaces manual work, with a speed of 10 rounds per minute and full coverage of firepower;
1500 horsepower engine, gas turbocharged, capable of operating at full power in plateau environments;
Hydromechanical transmission, with steering and braking, flexible and maneuverable;
Advanced electronic countermeasures suite enables multiple interferences such as radar, infrared, and laser, greatly improving survivability.
......
In Li Yang's mind, the image of Project 99 became clearer. The design idea was not only innovative, but also further injected with the most cutting-edge technological elements of the 21st century.
Compared to those old imitation models, it looks like a new one, brand new and shining!
Li Yang realized that he not only had to design a new tank, but also to create a brand new future combat platform?1?8
This platform not only possesses conventional combat capabilities, but also has extraordinary information-based, integrated, and systematized capabilities, making it the undisputed king on the land battlefield!
Li Yang searched quickly in his mind, mobilizing all relevant knowledge and experience.
He was clearly aware that relying solely on heavy armor was no longer enough to withstand the attacks of modern anti-tank shells.
Weapons such as armor-piercing shells and armor-piercing shells can easily penetrate steel plates of hundreds of millimeters. Homogeneous steel plates of only a few hundred millimeters are simply useless.
Li Yang suddenly had an idea and came up with the concept of composite armor.
By combining different materials and utilizing their respective characteristics, a gradient structure is formed, thus achieving a protective effect with minimal effort.
Li Yang quickly sketched on the blueprint, and soon, the armor plan of Project 99 appeared on the paper:
The outer layer of the armor is covered with a layer of ceramic patches to offset the shock wave of the armor-piercing projectile; the inner layer is high-strength alloy steel, which is responsible for resisting the kinetic energy core; between the two, lightweight honeycomb aluminum is filled to play a buffering and isolating role.
Such a combination can not only bring out the strengths of each material, but also greatly enhance the protection through multi-level crushing and deformation, gradually consuming the breaking process.
Theoretically, only 500 mm square composite armor is needed to resist 1000 mm thick homogeneous steel plate!
Li Yang agreed with this and quickly simulated various attack angles and destruction processes in his mind, constantly correcting the parameters and layout of the armor.
Soon, more ideas came to mind:
On the basis of composite armor, an additional layer of explosive reactive armor is added, using explosive packs to offset chemical energy ammunition;
Modular additional armor is added to sensitive areas, which can be quickly replaced without affecting the overall protection;
The armor tilt angle is optimized to 68 degrees, combined with the low scissor-shaped body to minimize the frontal projection area.
......
Many design ideas intertwined and collided in Li Yang's mind, and finally formed a comprehensive and three-dimensional armor protection system, which can be regarded as the most advanced solution today.
