C120 Qin Guan's Negligence
C120 Qin Guan's Negligence
In the south of the Han Country, there was a water net everywhere. There were bridges everywhere. If the bridge could not withstand the pressure, then the tank could crush the bridge at any time.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Han Country did not dare to develop heavy tanks.
Now, large caliber cannons, large horsepower engines, and cumbersome armor, once assembled, the weight would definitely exceed 50 tons. Under such circumstances, could the country accept it? Could the army accept it?
After all, the official indicators for the new tank had not been announced yet. Everything was just a preliminary research and development of the various sub-systems. Under such circumstances, what standard should they follow?
They could discuss it with Qin Guan.
Thinking of this, Elder Zhu opened his mouth and said, "Qin Guan, how much weight do you think is the most suitable for our new tank?"
"More than 50 tons." Qin Guan said, "If we want to get a compromise of firepower, defense, and mobility, 50 tons is the most basic number. As the armor continues to develop, this weight will continue to grow. It will even reach 58 tons, 68 tons. If it's any lower, then what's the difference between 59 and 59 on the battlefield?"
Qin Guan's words gave Elder Zhu a huge hint.
That's right, if they were only limited to 59 tanks, which weighed more than 30 tons, if they wanted to develop... They had to increase the weight of the tank. When it reached 50 tons, everything would be easy.
A 1500 horsepower engine to drive a 50-ton tank should be more than enough.
"However, the battle in the south will be greatly affected" Elder Zhu continued to say. This problem seemed to be unsolvable.
"Our tanks are not prepared for the south to begin with." Qin Guan said, "What is in the south? In the war at the border, having light tanks is enough. Do you need our Main Battle Tank?"
It was impossible to make the entire terrain suitable. If a conflict broke out in the south, it would not be their Main Battle Tank's turn to fight.
"If we want to develop a new tank, then we will aim at an enemy. It will be the Bear Country in the north!" Qin Guan continued, "Our battle zone will be in the grassland, a vast grassland that stretched as far as the eye can see. It will be the stage for our tanks to roam freely. Under such circumstances, what's the disadvantage of having a bigger tank? "
It's a problem with the target. Our new tanks are not meant for the south at all. It's for the north. Right now, the Bear Country in the north has been eyeing us covetously for many years. In times of crisis, even the capital was ready to move.
Qin Guan's words solved Elder Zhu's worries. That's right. When they had a meeting at the higher ups again, he would explain this point of view.
It was impossible to satisfy the south and the north at the same time. This was the current situation. He had to aim at the biggest threat, the Bear Country in the north!
Now, even the 105mm cannon production line had to be secretly introduced. He was afraid of provoking the people of Bear Country. The newly developed tank would be the opponent of Bear Country.
"Besides, our country has already begun to enter a new era. As time passes, it will develop. The construction of our south will also change day and night, and tall buildings will rise from the ground one by one. The bridges cross the river, so, in a few years, the bridge in the south will be enough for our tanks to pass through. There's no need for us to worry. "
Qin Guan was even more confident in the construction of his motherland. The title of Crazy Building Devil wasn't for nothing.
If he didn't increase the tank's self-importance, then everything wouldn't be able to develop. He absolutely couldn't let a simple self-importance restrict him.
"Then what about our tank gun?" Elder Zhu continued, "Now, the tanks in Hans Country and other countries all have a diameter of 120 mm, while the ones in Bear Country have a diameter of 125 mm. Which do you think is better?"
"The bigger the better." Qin Guan almost did not think about it. In his mind, he was still thinking about the mighty appearance of the 99 tanks in the future.
"That's weird. Why did the cannonballs split up?"
At this moment, a technician took out a cannonball from the inside of the tank.
The cannonball was divided into two parts. The cylindrical one was a projectile, and the one with the tip was a warhead. These two parts looked a little strange.
When Qin Guan saw the cannonball, he suddenly realized something. Oh no, he seemed to have forgotten something.
Now, with the knowledge from his previous life and the system in his brain, he seemed to be omnipotent. However, he still had a lot of negligence.
For example, the difference between a full load and a full load.
The 120 mm tank gun in Hans Country used fully loaded ammunition. The warhead and the firing drug were together, and the 125 mm cannon in Bear Country was separated into two parts.
When it was loaded, the Hans Country only needed to be loaded once, and the Bear Country needed to be loaded twice.
Of course, this was no big deal. Because the tank in Bear Country was an automatic Loader, there was no need for people to operate it.
However, there was a big problem with this. It was the effectiveness of armor-piercing bullets!
The tank was the king of land battles, and it wanted to destroy the enemy's tank. Therefore, to the tank, most of the high-bore tank gun fired armor-piercing bullets.
The long and thin kinetic energy core used to destroy the enemy's tank was not only related to the material of the core, but also the long distance!
The longer the core was compared to its diameter, the better the armor-piercing performance of the bullet.
The fully loaded ammunition could be extended all the way to the end of the propellant because they were together. It was equivalent to the length of the entire shell, which was the length of the core.
The bullet was only half the length of the fully loaded ammunition.
Therefore, no matter how it developed, the fully loaded warhead would not have as high armor-piercing ability as the fully loaded warhead!
Thinking of this, Qin Guan had a headache. For armor-piercing warheads, other than having a relationship with the caliber of the cannon, it also had a lot to do with its structure. This innate flaw was almost the fatal point of the 125mm cannon!
Why didn't it be designed into a single ammunition? Because the automatic Loader didn't have the ability and could only be installed separately.
Replace the ammunition manually? The tall and strong Westerners, filling 120 mm cannonballs was the limit. If the 125 mm cannonballs were to be combined into one and installed by a small Han people, then... That would definitely be a tragedy.
Qin Guan thought about it for a long time, but it was not as smooth as before. Elder Zhu also saw the strange look on Qin Guan's face and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I suggest we get a Leopard-2 like car. Let's make a comparison with this T-72 model car. After comparing it, we can choose the tank that is most suitable for us. " Qin Guan said, "The model of the tank is very important. We must not be hasty."
