C1470 Tank Engine and Air Conditioner
"President Qin, this is our tank factory. Right now, we are producing the most advanced Main Battle Tank that we have developed."
General Dennis brought Qin Guan to the tank factory. This was the first time he had come here to inspect in the past two years. As an air force general, he came to inspect the military factory. It was an exception, but the army of Rainbow Country... Therefore, there were no twists and turns.
Qin Guan nodded and looked at the person in charge of the factory, Taric, introducing them to everyone.
"This tank of ours started to be developed in 1976. In the process of development, we absorbed a lot of advantages from the hundred-man captain tank. We have made many major improvements in cannons, engines, hanging devices, and fire control systems. We call it the Horn Tank. "
The Horn was translated from the meaning of the word "Horn made from ivory," so many people also called it the Horn Tank.
This kind of thing. Compared to domestic tanks, this type of tank was particularly tall and looked like an extreme.
It had to be known that in order to increase the survival rate on the battlefield, the tanks of various countries were all changing from low to low. The lower they were, the harder it would be to discover them, especially when they were lying in ambush behind the hills.
However, the bugle tank in front of them was more than three meters tall!
It was simply a live target on the battlefield.
Actually, this was also decided by their environment.
The entire Black State was quite backward. If a country had 20 T-55 tanks, they could be called a military superpower.
In the surrounding countries of Rainbow Country, even if there were countries with tanks, it would be very difficult to pose a threat to the horn. Therefore, even if it was a bit bigger, there was nothing to be afraid of.
After all, the surrounding main force was at the level of T-55. At most, it was a monkey version of T-62. There was no more more more advanced goods.
To the Rainbow Country, their Tank Force often had to conduct long distance raids. What they considered was the comfort of their members. Its prototype was a hundred-man captain tank, which was a tall tank.
Now, it was tall and big. It could make the space inside very big, making it convenient for the members to fight inside.
At the same time, it was completely developed for the use of the Rainbow Country troops. Looking at the bathtub behind the tank gun Tower, it was even more clear.
There was actually a bathtub behind this thing!
In the environment of the Black State, during the time of battle, one's entire body was covered in mud. It was simply the most enjoyable thing to take a bath.
If it was a T55 tank, with four people stuffed into the narrow space, it would not even take a week. Even if it was just a day, the tank crew would be covered in a stinky smell.
Geographically, this place was located in the subtropical and tropical regions. Summer was unusually hot and sometimes very dry. The tank crew were bitten by mosquitoes in the wild. They were covered in dirt and mud, making them very uncomfortable. This "bathtub" was one of the most popular equipment in the Rainbow Country's Tank Soldier.
"The biggest weakness of this tank is its lack of power." Qin Guan said from the side.
This type of tank was ranked among the world tanks in the past. Of course, this was also because of the Western rankings. However, it couldn't be denied that this type of tank was an excellent tank. However, it still had its shortcomings.
The tall tank had given it a lot of self-importance. A total of 56 tons, even heavier than their newest Type 80 tank. Even though it was replaced by a 750 horsepower diesel engine from the previous 650 horsepower engine, however, the power was still severely lacking. And their opponent, a T-55 type tank... Their mobility was better than theirs.
They were also constantly improving the performance of this tank. The current tank was a bugle -1A. When they continued to develop it and produced a bugle -1B, they used a 950 horsepower diesel engine.
However, such a diesel engine was only enough. When they developed the bugle -2 Main Battle Tank, the engine power... It could be seen that they wanted an advanced power system. It was just that their own technology was limited and they had to continuously improve the performance of the engine. It was impossible to develop an advanced power system at once. For them, changing the gasoline engine to diesel was already a huge improvement.
"Yeah, our tank engine only has 750 horsepower diesel." Taric said to Qin Guan.
"If you need it, we can provide you with the engine." Qin Guan said, "The diesel engines in our country go from 700 horsepower to 1500 horsepower. We have a series of products. You can choose the most suitable power system. "
Hearing Qin Guan's words, Taric was delighted. Now, what they wanted the most was to solve the problem of the power system. If it could be increased to about 1000 horsepower, that would be the best!
"President Qin, the tanks here need to fight in hot weather. Can your power system satisfy the needs of our region?" Taric asked.
Not all of them could do it. Even if they brought the Leopard-2 tank over, they would probably be at a loss. It was too hot here. In the summer, the temperature could often reach above 48 degrees! It was simply fatal.
"Of course you can. You should know that the exit is for the tanks of Coconut Jujube Country. They can all work normally in the hot desert. Also, you should know that besides the tank engine working normally, we also work normally. We also have the air conditioning system used by the advanced tank tanks, which can work normally in bumpy environments. " Qin Guan continued.
Not only the engine, but also the air conditioning. In such a hot environment, the surface of the tank can even be covered with egg pancakes. Don't you want air conditioning?
Although this thing was for enjoyment, it was very helpful in increasing the combat strength of the troops. It could be said that as long as they used it, they would definitely love it.
Indeed, when Qin Guan said this, Taric was tempted. "If that's the case, we hope that you can provide us with some samples for us to test."
"Of course, there's no problem. Not only are there tanks, but we also have ordinary armored vehicles, including the products used by the armored vehicles."
Other things aside, if all armored vehicles in Rainbow Country were equipped with air conditioners, it would definitely be a huge business. Qin Guan could not sell domestic tanks, but he could sell the parts.
As long as he could make money, Qin Guan would do anything.
As they spoke, everyone walked forward. The production workshop of the tank was opposite the workshop of the rotating tank.
To the Rainbow Country, the demand for tanks was not urgent. What they needed the most was a huge amount of rotating Infantry Tank, which was enough for them to take on the task of fighting.
