The reason why Lu Xuan personally came to experiment with the tungsten and tungsten alloy was mainly to improve the technology of cannon steel.

After returning from the southwest front line, Lu Xuan realized that the rabbit's cannon steel technology was really not up to par.

Be it the howitzers, mortars, 336 rocket launchers, Red Arrows individual rocket launchers, or tank cannons, they were all made of old-fashioned tungsten alloy.

Although the tungsten alloy steel was hard and had excellent heat resistance, it was still very hard.

However, it was also because of its hardness that the toughness of the barrel was low.

After multiple shots, the gun barrel would quickly reach the metal fatigue strength due to the high temperature and high pressure produced when the shell was fired.

This way, when the barrel reached its lifespan, it would have to be replaced.

Otherwise, the accuracy of the cannon would decrease, and there might even be an explosion.

Especially the tank cannon, it was the rabbit's weakness.

If they couldn't fire 300 rounds, they would have to change the barrel.

Furious Bear's tank cannon could fire 400 to 500 rounds.

The tank cannons of Eagle, John Bull, Hans Cat, and other countries could fire 500 to 600 rounds.

The rabbit army had long realized this problem and attached great importance to the research of cannon steel.

However, the basic industry of rabbits was too weak. It was not possible for them to catch up to the hairy bears or even the western countries in a short period of time.

Now, Jia Yiming, the materials expert, would soon be able to get back to work and help Lu Xuan improve his cannon steel technology.

Therefore, Lu Xuan came to give some guidance first. When Jia Yiming arrived, he would be able to produce the new cannon steel directly.

"Are rare earth elements really that important?”

All the experts were puzzled by the fact that Lu Xuan kept mentioning the importance of rare earth elements.

"Of course it's important. The gun steel with a small amount of rare earth elements will greatly improve its performance. You'll know after testing the new gun steel.”

Lu Xuan could not explain it clearly to these half-baked experts, so he had to prove it with facts. At the same time, it would also attract the attention of the higher-ups of the country.

Rare earth elements were not only important to the military industry, but also indispensable in aerospace, satellite guidance, electronics, and other industries. However, B. Rabbit did not realize that at the moment.

Rabbit's rare earth resources were the most abundant in the world.

However, the countries with the most research on rare earths were countries with developed industries such as Yingjiang, Jiapenji, and Hans Cat.

After the reform and opening up of Rabbit, in order to obtain more foreign exchange to develop the economy, rare earth resources were sold in large quantities at the price of pork.

This was especially true for the chicken in the pot. If there was none in the country, they would desperately import it from the rabbit's house and then hoard it.

It could be said that the chicken's advanced electronics industry was built on the cheap rare earth resources of the rabbit.

By the time B. Rabbit discovered the huge effect of rare earths, the domestic rare earth resources had already been sold out.

This was a huge loss of resources for the rabbit. Now that Lu Xuan was here, he naturally would not let such a situation happen again.

Just as Lu Xuan was immersed in the experiment and research of new cannon steel materials, Yang Changgen came to him with a group of people.

What surprised Lu Xuan was that other than Yang Changgen, Wang Mingyi, and Liu Dayong, the commander of the security company, there was also…Zhao Min.

"Comrade Little Lu…"

Yang Changgen was about to speak when Lu Xuan raised his hand to stop him.

"Why is she here?" she asked, pointing at Zhao Min.”

Yang Changgen's mouth twitched. You should ask Company Commander Liu."

Liu Da Yong's face was red as he said innocently,""Battalion Commander, Commander Zhang sent her here. Her female team came with him. They brought two T72 tanks.”

Lu Xuan's face darkened. He was about to flare up when Zhao Min saluted him first and said,""I'm here under the orders of Commander Zhang of the Shudu Military Region to assist Comrade Lu Xuan in developing a new type of tank. At the same time, I'll continue to serve as Comrade Lu Xuan's orderly.”

"I don't want an orderly. I can take care of myself.”Lu Xuan refused flatly.

Zhao Min was very beautiful and looked very pleasing to the eye, but Lu Xuan could not afford to have her around.

Even Lu Xuan himself felt that it was ridiculous to have the daughter of Zhao Xingguo, the commander of the Jingdou garrison and the head of the General Staff of the Weapons Department, as his orderly.

At the same time, he didn't want to do anything by himself. There was a pair of eyes staring at him.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Lu Xuan. If you're dissatisfied with this order, I'll let you know.”

"You can report to Commander Zhang of the Shudu Military Region or Minister Zhao of the Weapons General Staff.”

"Before the higher-ups revoke this order, I'm your orderly.”

Zhao Min stood upright with an expressionless face. She looked like a soldier who was obeying orders.

The corner of Lu Xuan's mouth twitched." You were sent here by Commander Zhang and Minister Zhao? What's the use of me, a mere battalion commander, reacting?"

Lu Xuan rolled his eyes at Zhao Min, then turned to look at Liu Dayong, who had a strange expression on his face, and asked,""You just said that the Shu Du Military Region transported two T72 tanks?”

" Yes, Battalion Commander," Liu Da Yong replied." Commander Zhang hopes that you can develop a new tank with excellent performance."”

"Base 618 isn't a tank research and development base.”Lu Xuan was speechless.

To be honest, Lu Xuan had no plans to develop a tank for the time being.

His research direction was artillery, rocket launchers, and various missiles.

After all, Base 618 had the technological reserves, research, and production capabilities.

"Commander Zhang said that Base 541 will fully cooperate with you."”

Lu Xuan knew that both Base 541 and Base 611 were the research and production bases for the Type-59 tank.

However, after Base 611 launched the Type-69 tank first, Base 541 did not come up with a better project.

" Comrade Little Lu, tank research and development is a big project. With the help of Base 541, I believe you will be able to come up with a tank with better performance than the Russian tank," Yang Changgen said with a smile.”

Lu Xuan was speechless. Do you think it's that easy to build a tank?

Wang Mingyi pulled over an old man who was about his age and introduced him."Comrade Lu, this is Director Yan Qingshan from Base 541.”

"Comrade Little Lu, I've long heard of your great name. Seeing you today, you're indeed a hero from a young age.”Yan Qingshan flattered as he reached out his hand.

"Director Yan, you flatter me." Lu Xuan shook hands with Yan Qingshan.

"Comrade Lu, when are you coming to Base 541?”Yan Qingshan looked a little impatient.

"I won't go over for the time being. I still have some things to do here.”What was Lu Xuan going to Base 541 for if he did not even have a design idea?

" Then the new tank development…" Yan Qingshan was anxious. Did Lu Xuan not want to participate in the development of the new tank?

Base 541 and Base 611 both built tanks, and Base 611 was already ahead of Base 541.

If 541 couldn't produce a better tank, they would have to face the consequences of switching from military to civilian.

The country was now on the right track, and many redundant projects would be cut down mercilessly.

Lu Xuan also knew about 541's situation.

Base 541 was later converted to manufacturing trucks and car chassises.

From a famous military unit to a state-owned unit that produced civilian products.

"To develop a tank, we first have to develop a tank cannon and a cannon aiming radar. I'm currently improving our cannon steel technology, so I can't leave for the time being.”Lu Xuan soon came up with his own plan.

The eight-year war between the Icamels and the Persian lions was about to begin, and tanks were a necessity for both countries.

He wanted to see the rabbit's tanks galloping on the battlefield of the Icamels and the Persian lions.
