Chapter 1659

"Yes, after all, the design concept of tanks and our infantry combat vehicles is completely different. If you want to change them, you must find a way," Qin Guan said.

The two are completely different. Infantry combat vehicles need a wide internal space to carry a large number of soldiers. At least one infantry squad is needed. After all, in combat, they are carried out with the infantry squad as the basic unit.

However, tanks are different. Tanks are used to attack and trap. Tanks must have a turret and advanced tank guns to attack the enemy's position. The internal space is quite narrow and only accommodate three or four people. It's difficult for everyone to turn around inside.

So, how to change it?

Qin Guan certainly has a way.

"First of all, remove the turret and empty all the places where shells are loaded. In this way, the internal space is large enough."

Qin Guan began to introduce his specific ideas. In order to make it clear, he simply picked up a model on one side of the table.

This model is the model of your own 79 tank. Now Qin Guan took it out and just showed it for everyone to see clearly.

To remove the turret, remove all those related to tank guns!

The interior of the tank is full of land and gold. We must try our best to make use of any useful space. If we have a little place and design, we can install one or two shells. Even so, the number of shells loaded inside the tank is still very small. In World War II, there were hundreds of shells at every turn. Now, it can exceed 40, It's already very good.

Of course, it is rare that 40 shells can be fired in a single operation.

In this way, the internal space becomes larger. However, even so, it can accommodate up to five or six people, and it is impossible to carry an infantry squad. Moreover, the internal space is so narrow that everyone has to squat or lie there?

Suddenly, commander Cheng thought of something and said, "if so, how should our soldiers go up and down?

The tank goes up and down from the top hatch. This way is nothing to the tank crew. After all, they will not come down until they exit the battlefield. What about the infantry combat vehicle? The soldiers will get off at any time. If they go up and down from the top hatch, it is definitely a tragedy.

The wheeled infantry combat vehicle developed by using the truck chassis, or the specially developed larger infantry combat vehicle, is reasonably designed. This is to enter and exit from the rear. In this way, it is best for the infantry to have a wide body to block the threat in front. Even they use the door as an additional shield.

If this problem is not solved, even if this infantry combat vehicle is refitted, it will definitely be chicken ribs.

Looking at your questions, Qin Guan knew that you were really thinking seriously.

"Yes, this problem must be solved. Otherwise, this infantry combat vehicle is unqualified. There are two main solutions."

Qin Guan doesn't need to use his brain, because later generations have mature plans to provide Qin Guan.

Infantry fighting vehicles can do this because the engine is in the front, the side is placed in the front of the armored vehicle, the right, the left is the driver, and the back is full of passengers.

However, unlike tanks, the engine of the tank is at the back. Only mecava is a wonderful flower. It looks like the front. This is also because they don't have that kind of high-power engine and don't occupy too much space. Otherwise, the last 1500 horsepower engine? The space is certainly not enough.

The rear is occupied by the engine. How to solve this problem?

"One way is to change the engine." Qin Guan said: "now, our North heavy truck factory has developed a series of high-power diesel engines, the maximum power can even reach 700 horsepower, and the volume is small and the fuel consumption is low. It can be stuffed into the back of tank 59. In this way, a channel will be reserved for the soldiers to get off from behind."

This kind of engine is prepared for that kind of huge missile launching vehicle, but after it is developed, it is developed according to civil standards. It can also be equipped on its own truck and, of course, can also be used on tanks.

What's the difference between civilian and military?

Military mainly depends on the performance. The service life can be reduced. In fact, it is to squeeze the service life of the engine through supercharging in exchange for the improvement of performance.

With the same displacement, more air blowing and more fuel injection, we can naturally produce more power. However, this way will damage the service life.

This is the same as those who brush the horsepower of cars in future generations. In their eyes, they think that cars, like any electronic product, can improve power at any time by brushing.

In fact, of course, this is impossible. An engine is divided into two versions of high and low power. It is definitely not just that the computer settings are different. The piston, connecting rod and other mechanisms are different. If you brush the low power into high power, there is only one result, that is, cylinder explosion.

When the cylinder is really broken, they want to find the manufacturer to claim for compensation. They won't say they broke it.

In short, civil and military are different, so why should military squeeze power? Because they want a stronger engine.

However, the technology is constantly improving. At the beginning, it was necessary to press the engine of tank 59 to produce 500 horsepower. Now, the fuel can burn more fully through the high-pressure oil pump, through the more precise fuel injection device, and absorb more energy through the more special piston are all effective ways to improve the power.

In this way, civilian power can reach the same level. Moreover, civilian power is more durable and fuel-efficient, which should be a better choice.

Except for one thing.

After all, it still needs to spend money to buy. Those engines that have reached their service life and can operate at low power can still continue to work hard. They are quite old and can eat more. They are still able to work.

Therefore, when Qin Guan said he wanted to change the engine, they all hesitated. If the army didn't think of the money, it must carry forward the spirit of hard work and simplicity.

"Mr. Qin, what's the second way?" someone continued.

The second way?

Qin Guan smiled and turned the tank model in his hand in a circle: "the second way is to turn the whole tank 180 degrees, with the back as the front and the front as the back."

In this way, the engine is directly in the front, and you can do whatever you want in the back!
