A few days passed.
Northern Wilderness Military Region's land combat training ground.
Black cars drove into the muddy field.
The people who got out of the car were researchers in suits.
After a while.
More than 20 researchers of different ages gathered at the venue.
However, none of them were the main characters today.
After a while, a car drove over. All the researchers who had arrived earlier surrounded it.
The front passenger got out of the car and opened the back door.
A white-haired old man was helped out.
"Elder Huo! Welcome to the Northern Wilderness Military Region!”
In the crowd.
Wei Keyong brought his men to Elder Huo.
Today.
It was the day that the Northern Wilderness Military Region had long set for the test of the new tank.
This tank was developed by the Lun City Vehicle Research Institute of the Academy of Sciences and manufactured by Qingshan City's First Machinery Factory.
Be it research and development or production.
They were all handled by the strongest researchers in the domestic wheeled vehicle industry.
In the early stages.
The industry had already warmed up to this tank many times.
Many people agreed that the new tank that was unveiled this time was a major upgrade in our army's land equipment.
It was also the only fourth-generation tank in the country.
For these reasons, the father of tanks, Huo Jianzhang, also came to the test site in person.
Elder Huo arrived.
Whether it was inside or outside the army, everyone had to look up to him.
Even Wei Keyong, the military commander, had to run around like a lackey.
"Elder Huo, this time, the fourth-generation tank is mainly in charge of our First Machine Factory. I've been involved in the entire process, and Factory Manager Ma has also put in a lot of effort.”
As a junior.
What Wei Keyong could do was to let Elder Huo see the hard work of the tank people and use it to comfort Elder Huo's lifetime of contribution to the tank.
Elder Huo nodded in relief.
"I have no doubt about the combat power of this generation of tanks.”
Although this generation of tank projects was not led by Old Huo.
However, the scientists who studied this tank were all Old Huo's students.
Now was the year to fight.
Elder Huo was absolutely confident in his ability.
"However, we can't be satisfied with the current situation.”
"The speed of technological development is something we can't predict.”
"Just like the information you gave us a few days ago. If that information can be put into practice, the field of tanks will advance by another 30 years.”
Wei Keyong nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"You said that the other day."
"But to put it bluntly, theory is theory, and practice is practice.”
"As a frontline commander, I would rather see tangible results like the new tank.”
Hearing Wei Keyong's words, Huo Jianzhang smiled.
If you don't follow the same path, you can't plan together.
Elder Huo was a theoretical scientist.
He was obsessed with the latest academic progress.
Wei Keyong was a commander. He only wanted tangible results.
Huo Jianzhang could understand.
" Don't worry," he said with a smile." I've already personally led those theories and carried out the theoretical attack."”
"Before I die, I must put these amazing mechanical theories into practice.”
These bold words were from Elder Huo's heart.
People in their seventies rarely had such ambitions.
However…
That novel theory made Elder Huo feel like he had returned to his youth.
When he heard that Elder Huo would personally take charge of the work.
Wei Keyong was relieved.
With the father of the tank personally stepping into the field, those theories could really become a reality in a few years.
"But…"
Old Huo changed the topic and asked.
"Where did you get these theories from?”
"Elder Huo, you don't have to worry about this." Wei Keyong said with some difficulty.”
"No matter where it comes from, as long as it can be used by me, it's ours.”
Hearing this.
Huo Jianzhang could roughly guess.
This might be the intelligence from another country that Wei Keyong had sent over through special channels.
If it was in other fields of scientific research, there would still be intellectual property rights.
However, in the military industry.
It belonged to whoever owned it.
Huo Jianzhang did not ask further.
After a few exchanges.
The test site and the armored soldiers responsible for carrying out the test mission were all ready.
Everyone was looking forward to it.
A traveling tank with forest camouflage paint appeared in front of everyone.
The designer of this tank, Huo Jianzhang's beloved disciple Meng Xiangwei, introduced,""Everyone, what you see is the fourth generation main battle tank codenamed Type 20.”
Everyone looked over.
This tank still followed our military's consistent aesthetic in the manufacturing of wheeled vehicles.
Its appearance was relatively short, and its survivability was outstanding.
The entire vehicle was equipped with double-layered armor.
Coupled with the firing control system developed by the entire line, the firepower of this car was about three times higher than the previous Type 99.
Amidst everyone's exclamations.
The tank began its dynamic display.
Meng Xiangwei introduced loudly," For power, we have abandoned the usual diesel engine and selected a gas turbine engine. The maximum power is 1900 horsepower.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Many people exclaimed in amazement.
This motivation was definitely at the top of the world.
However, Elder Huo whispered in Wei Keyong's ear,"The gas turbine is a good choice, but if the diesel-hydrogen hybrid engine can be rolled out, the gap will suddenly widen.”
Wei Keyong could only nod.
It seemed that the change in power of this generation of main battle tanks would soon be realized.
When Elder Huo's research landed, this generation of tanks could be equipped with double the power.
Meng Xiangwei continued," We designed the turret with a 140mm main cannon. Currently, among all the main battle tanks in the world, the caliber of the cannon barrel is also the largest known.”
Our army's requirement for firepower is only greater, not the greatest.
Perhaps it was because of the lack of firepower back then.
As long as there was permission, the caliber of the cannon would always be the largest.
Correspondingly.
The power of the tank would also increase.
In Meng Xiangwei's commentary, the Type 20 tank was almost completed.
After letting the management guests who participated in the experiment witness the elegance of the 20 forms.
Meng Xiangwei turned around and looked at everyone with confidence.
"I am confident."
"Type 20 is the most advanced main battle tank at the moment.”
