Chapter 1079： Tap the potential of tank guns

As a traverser, Cyrenk certainly knows the importance of aircraft carriers. If you look closely, you can find that the current German aircraft carriers are not only as simple as an angled deck, but have even reserved a steam catapult position on the deck. Even in Germany, there are already specialized scientific research institutions that have begun experiments with catapults. Their goal is to accelerate aircraft weighing more than ten tons to a sufficiently high speed.

Now ordinary heavy fighters are only four or five tons. This ten-ton target is of course prepared for future jets.

However, in terms of foreign affairs, Germany is quite low-key. The enrollment of aircraft carriers is almost silent. A large number of **** aircraft carriers are constantly joining active service and organized into a huge sea fleet.

At the same time, regarding battleships, the German side is constantly propagating. For its own battleships of 70,000 tons, the specific data will almost be leaked. The range of the artillery and the armor-piercing capability can be as many as kilometers away. Send the opposing fleet into the sea.

Of course this is to fool you!

Fudge the Americans and let the Americans throw themselves into a new round of military competition. In the construction of this battleship, the United States will be completely destroyed!

The United States is inferior to Germany. Now, Germany has integrated European resources and has a large number of colonies in North Africa and the Middle East. Germany is no longer the Germany in history!

If there are any disadvantages in Germany now, it is population. This population problem will take time to resolve.

Now, what Cyric is most concerned about is still the war against the Soviet Union. 40 years are about to end. In the spring of 41 years, the German army will complete all mobilization and go to Moscow in one go!

On this day, Cyric came to Krupp to inspect its own Tiger tank.

Gustav has become the shopkeeper, he is old after all, and his energy is limited. Now the helm of the Krupp company is Alfred Krupp.

The two had known each other very early. When they were in India, they had a pleasant cooperation, and it was also when Cyric and Hannah met.

Now, as the helm of the Krupp family, Alfred is doing everything every day and contributing his youth to the empire.

"We are continuing to work hard to increase the output of Tiger tanks and tap the potential of the 88mm tank gun. At the same time, we are also developing the next generation of tank guns," Alfred said.

In fact, several companies, such as Henschel, are producing Tiger tanks, while Krupp is mainly responsible for the production of Tiger turrets and cannons. At the same time, the pre-research of the next generation of tank guns is also intensively proceeding. Among.

Obviously, this is also the normal reaction after seeing the new Soviet tank at this military parade.

In fact, both KV-2 and Stalin tanks have a strong patchwork style. The short-barreled 152mm howitzer and 122mm tank gun are not suitable for tank installation, but the Soviets did it. , Which puts a lot of pressure on Germany.

The German Tiger tank must have an absolute advantage, which puts a lot of pressure on many people.

This pressure turned into motivation.

"The sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile we have developed for the 88mm tank gun has penetrated 200mm armor in the test firing. It is still being optimized. However, we have decided to finalize the next generation of tank guns. It’s a 105mm caliber."

Last time, it was Cyric’s suggestion that the air-tightness problem can be easily solved by constructing a shrapnel. At the same time, due to the slender armor-piercing projectile, the armor-piercing ability has been greatly improved.

Historically, Germany liked to brush the length, which caused the production of tank guns to fail. Now, with Cyric's suggestion, they finally started the choice of a new caliber.

105 mm, this is a well-known caliber in later generations, almost dominating NATO for decades!

"According to your requirements, we are overcoming the various difficulties of electroslag remelting steel. Once this excellent steel matures, we can greatly improve the performance of our tank guns." Alfred said Cyric reported on the direction of work in the recent period.

Krupp also has research and development tasks. Advanced artillery requires high-quality steel. On tank guns, the most advanced is electroslag remelting steel.

As the name suggests, this smelting method is to use the metal that has been smelted by the general smelting method as an electrode. Through a strong current, the metal is heated for secondary remelting. The electrode is melted into the **** pool and the molten metal crystallizes at the bottom of the **** pool The formation of ingots is electroslag remelted steel.

Electroslag remelting is the second purification and better crystallization. Simply put, it is to further reduce the harmful elements such as sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen and obtain basically the same granular crystals This kind of technology, in history, the United States Hopkins first proposed this kind of refining in the 1940s. The principle of the method. Now, the Americans have not thought of this method, and Germany has begun to try it.

The principle of this method is simple, but the control in the middle is quite complicated. In the later China, electroslag remelting steel is everywhere, but most of the smelted steel is low-quality steel, and the quality of the product Still quite unstable.

There will be various computer controls in later generations, but now it is the workers who rely on their own experience, which requires accumulation. Once this kind of steel matures and is used to make tank guns, it will definitely bring about completely reborn changes.

Simply put, the chamber pressure can be increased, the charge can be increased, and the tank gun will not explode. Of course, the performance of the tank gun can be improved with the same caliber.

In later generations, the British L7 tank gun is simply a NATO standard tank gun, which is absolutely inseparable from electroslag remelting steel, and the other is the process of self-tightening and chrome plating.

Perhaps this 105mm tank gun was not used during the entire war. The performance of the 88mm tank gun was enough to dig deep. However, in case a more abnormal opponent appears, Germany has technical reserves and can take it out at any time.

It is absolutely impossible for a tanker to shout that he can't wear it. This is simply the crime of the rear scientific and technical personnel!

Regarding the development of the tank gun, Cyric continued to put forward some opinions. After the report of the tank gun project was completed, Alfred then reported to Cyric on the second project: "After our continuous efforts, now, we have Successfully developed an alumina ceramic armor. Compared with our current nickel alloy armor, it has better ballistic performance under the same weight.)
