Chapter 320 Bear Tank

He was wearing a tank-handed uniform, but no military signs or medals were hung. Huang Shaoguang spent three months practicing how to use tanks for this gimmick appearance.

He had a handsome smile on his face, and his voice was also full of magnetic: "Dear gentlemen, generals of the Chinese army. I am commissioned by Cangjiao Research Institute to show you the latest 20-ton heavy tank prototype. Our Hualian Future Military Horse - the Blast Bear Tank I-type, the 75mm caliber smoothbore gun designed by Cangjiao Research Institute."

"What? 75mm caliber smoothbore cannon?" After hearing Huang Shaoguang's introduction, almost everyone present was shocked. Generally speaking, the tanks nowadays are obviously equipped with small cannons, and many light tanks are even equipped with heavy machine guns and other weapons.

The 75mm caliber cannon is already a very amazing thing. What's more, everyone present knows that this so-called Cangjiao Research Institute is actually a large-scale comprehensive research institution controlled by Zhong Yang. It involves very high-end products and technical fields, and spans many subjects.

The design mark of the entire car is to include the chassis of the vehicle, the turret of the body, the weapons on it and some other auxiliary equipment. Although the bidding form marks the specific specifications of the 20-ton vehicle.

However, since the 20-ton design task book was issued relatively tightly, it was not until August this year that relevant details were issued to various companies.

Therefore, the design of a chassis alone has made various companies feel a bit difficult. Although they are rushing, most companies still have not completed the design. From the current perspective, only three companies have completed the design of the 20-ton tank. In addition to the Cangjiao Research Institute, the other two companies have only produced the design of the chassis.

So on the application form, they only used the chassis number given to him by the Army Weapon Design Bureau. However, the Wind Bear I-type tank used the design code of the whole vehicle this time. After listening to Huang Shaoguang's introduction, everyone understood one thing for a moment: "The vehicle design of this tank has been completed."

Perhaps in response to everyone's speculation, Huang Shaoguang turned his head and nodded slightly to Zhong Yang behind him. Then, after a burst of intense drums, the gray curtain was slowly pulled away from behind, and a heavy tank slowly appeared from behind.

Like an exquisite stone sculpture covered with silk coat, everyone was stunned by the tank in front of them. The huge body, as they thought, was installed on it, and the tilted body in front and the turret in a spoon shape on the chassis, showed a beautiful overall beauty.

What surprised everyone the most was that the cannon used in this tank was not twenty-four times the caliber of the broken tube, but more than forty-eight times the caliber. The long gun barrel was harmoniously installed on the turret, making it look very majestic.

"This is a prototype car designed by Cangjiao Research Institute. The length, width and height of this tank are 6.5 meters and 2.58 meters respectively. The bottom of the car is 420 mm high. There are five members of the battle weight." Huang Shaoguang saw that the time was ripe, so he took the opportunity to start his introduction next to him.

"The entire body and turret are all made of pressed and refrigerated steel plates and fully welded structure. The front of the body is made of 50 mm thick forty-five-degree inclined armor. According to mathematical calculations, it can be regarded as armor about meter thick, so the bulletproof effect is excellent."

For this heavy tank with a very novel design in this era, both the military's procurement department and the arms industry competitors present are very interested in these data.

"The turret uses a spoon-type turret with artillery shield. The side armor thickness of the turret is 24mm, the front armor thickness and the thickness of the shield are 70mm in total, and the inclination angle of the entire turret is 60 degrees. In order to make the entire vehicle body show good bulletproof, there are no other accessories except a machine gun design hole and an observation port."

After a pause, Huang Shaoguang continued: "Of course, the height of the turret and the height of the body of this car are also the lowest among all tanks at present. However, these are not the most special places for this kind of tank."

He came to the front of the tank, patted the thick and long gun barrel with his hand and continued: "In order to support this meaning, we used the 75mm cannon developed by Cangjiao Research Institute itself. This cannon uses a new 48-caliber tube weighing 700 kilograms. It uses a new armor-piercing projectile developed by Qingzhu Chemical to penetrate 90 mm thick armor with an inclination angle of 75 degrees over a distance of one thousand meters."

Such technical indicators made everyone present take a breath. As Huang Shaoguang introduced, the firepower of the Brutal Bear I-type tank can be said to be extremely powerful.

In addition, after a detailed disassembly and introduction, the walking system and suspension system of this tank are also very perfect. The spring suspension similar to the elastic suspension makes the stability and off-roadness of the vehicle more perfect, and the six medium-diameter load-bearing wheels on both sides of the vehicle make the vehicle more balanced and off-roadness.

The car now uses the third generation vortex engine independently developed by the Cangjiao Research Institute, which gives the Blade Bear i-type a reliable and powerful engine. This engine is specially tailored for this kind of tank: 12 cylinders, the power is 200 kilowatts at a rated speed of 4,000 rpm, and the maximum power is 240 kilowatts at a maximum speed of 4,000 rpm.

The maximum driving speed of the vehicle is 45 kilometers per hour, and the theoretical off-road speed is 22 kilometers per hour. It is combined with a new type of gearbox. The entire body shows a good dividing point that integrates beauty, practicality and reasonable prices. It is the ultimate achievement of Hualian's vehicle manufacturing industry.

Huang Shaoguang pointed to the tank in front of him and talked, as if he was no longer the commander of the watchtower, but a tank designer who had been engaged in tank research for a long time, and was working as an arms salesman.

"Oh, Shaoguang said it very well." Wang Liwen nodded slightly after hearing Huang Shaoguang's introduction, "However, I think nothing of what anyone says can't be used as a reference certificate before rigorous testing. Everything must be tested by practice. I wonder if you mean it is the same as me?"

Speaking of this, Wang Liwen also looked at Huang Shaoguang meaningfully. As the commander-in-chief of the future Hualian Armored Army, he naturally hopes to have a more powerful heavy chariot in his hand. The original Gray Wolf I-type and Gray Wolf I-type were both overshadowed in front of this Rain Bear I-type.

"Yes, I think so too." Huang Shaoguang nodded immediately.

Then his words were full of confidence: "Our excellent tank can only become a real lion when it comes to the battlefield. The beasts that cannot be hunted are not real beasts. Although I am full of confidence in this tank, I decided to preside over the practical test of this tank myself."

Turning his head, Huang Shaoguang smiled and kicked the ball to General Mo Rongxin. This old man still maintained a very tough temperament at this time. Since he became the principal of Nansha Military Academy, his life has been comfortable and his body has been recuperating.

"I have no problem, let alone as a guest, I have no say." After hearing the other party's question, Mo Rongxin smiled slightly, and then he pulled Chen Yongshan, the director of the Army Weapon Procurement Bureau, and said: "Major Chen is the person in charge of this test. I think there is anything that should be discussed with him first. Are you right?" Mo Rongxin's smile was also humorous and joking.

"Your Excellency the Chief of the Army is right." Huang Shaoguang nodded slightly, then he turned his head to Chen Yongshan and smiled slightly at him, "So, what about your suggestions, Major Chen?"

"Me? I have no advice," Chen Yongshan shook his head indifferently, and nodded again, "Since Mr. Huang is so interested, I have nothing to say." After that, he slowly moved away.

Chen Yongshan survived the disaster and now he has a key position in the technical department of the Chinese army. The Prime Minister's procurement of military supplies and weapons, his power and status are enviable. He was originally the first technician under Chen Jiongming, and now he has returned to his post.

Hearing the other party say this, Huang Shaoguang hurriedly nodded, jumped onto the tank's body, and put on the headphones: "Everyone pays attention to all the ideas." He turned on the headphones and ordered the following: "The engineer starts the engine and prepares for a test drive."

A few seconds later, three people wearing mechanics' clothes quickly walked to the back of the chariot and began to shake the engine's transmission handle. After trying a few times, a slight sound was heard. The heart of the chariot finally slowly started, and then the tank began to move forward slowly.

"The engine is normal"

"Transmission shaft is normal"

"Gearbox is normal"

"Everything is normal, ready." The drivers below kept reporting the internal data of the chariot to Huang Shaoguang on radio. These people were all test runners invited from the army for a lot of money, and several of them had more than five years of work experience.

In fact, the car has already passed the running-in period, but to be on the safe side, the transmission has just undergone special maintenance. In addition, in the previous three tests, a large number of vehicles had problems, so Zhong Yang and Huang Shaoguang still thought it would be better to be careful, so the test runners are now careful and careful.

The vehicle slowly drove away from the parking warehouse at the slowest speed and slowly drove into the wild.

There, the two tanks of Liu's Heavy Industry and Shuize Metal Company were already waiting for him. Like the generals' expressions, the technicians of the two vehicles were a little stupid when they looked at the completed Raven Bear I-type armored tank.

Because they had a very obvious advantage when competing with a turret, but the other party did not object, so they didn't say anything, so the three chariots were quietly waiting for signal flares in the wild.

Taking advantage of this idleness, Huang Shaoguang glanced at the cars on both sides. The car of Shuize Metal Company, a subsidiary of Tianyu Group, uses a suspension-type balanced suspension system. There are four pairs of two small load-bearing wheels connected to a bracket, which looks a bit like the American m4 Sherman.

The tank chassis produced by Liu Haoran's Liu's Heavy Industry almost fell to the ground because they actually used six large-diameter interleaved load-bearing wheels. This suspension system used by Black Panther in the future made him feel very novel. However, before he was surprised, the signal flare had risen. The first round of competition began.

"All people pay attention, target, right ahead, prepare to set off." Wearing the protective suit of the tank hand, Huang Shaoguang stood majestic on the platform of the commander's station, and then shouted loudly at the radio beside him, and the driver below immediately understood.

He began to step on the accelerator under his feet, and then bursts of black smoke erupted from the exhaust pipe behind the tank and moved forward. Huang Shaoguang took this opportunity to look at the two prototype cars of other companies beside him.

On his left, the prototype car of the Shuize Metal Company had slowly started, and a faint stream of blue smoke rushed out from his tail.

"Yeah." Zhong Yang, who was standing beside him, looked curiously at the green smoke emitted from the other party's car, but thought to himself. Then he looked at his right side, where the car was parked by Liu's Heavy Industry. However, this car was quite unlucky, because the motorcycle has not started yet, so there may be some small problems with the battery.

However, after all, it is a core heavy industry enterprise under Xinghua Community. It can be regarded as a large company with a deep technical background. With the efforts of several technicians, the huge car finally started, and the test officially began. A man like an officer stood in front. He raised a red flag, and then waved the red flag suddenly, just like a racing competition.

"Forward, Forward." Huang Shaoguang shouted loudly after seeing the signal finally drop, so the driver below slowly released the clutch pedal, and another burst of black smoke ejected from the back of the car, and then the chariot slowly slid forward. The two cars next to him also slowly started forward at the same time, and the competition finally began.

"The road conditions in front of him are accelerating normally." Huang Shaoguang looked at the short cement road ahead with his naked eyes and issued the following order. Another burst of black smoke, he felt that the speed of the vehicle was significantly accelerated, and his shaking also intensified.

Tanks are actually tractors wearing heavy armor. The tracks are crushed on the rugged roads. They are definitely not as stable and comfortable as cars or off-road vehicles, and bumps are inevitable.

However, the speed of the two cars next to him was faster and faster than that of himself. Seeing this, Huang Shaoguang smiled bitterly. Because the Bear I-type tank had an additional turret weighing several tons, it was of course not as good as the other person's naked chassis.

This situation is like a truck with a few tons of goods and a car with nothing in competition. Although the horsepower is high, the things on the body are carrying more than others. Fortunately, this is not a comparison of speed. If you compare speed alone, you can completely remove the armor and turrets. However, in this way, the shocking effect will be lost.

What's more, the mud behind is the headache for everyone, and the design of the Wind Bear series tanks initially considered the practical issues of various terrain factors.

Eight minutes later, all the chariots drove into the vast mud like a river. December was originally a very cold season, but the temperature in Liuzhou this year has not been very normal. The test plant, which had been established, has become a bit desolate now.

Coupled with the cold and cold rain that had just fallen two days ago, the temperature suddenly rose in the past two days, so the originally desolate place turned into mud. At the beginning, several light tanks were deeply trapped inside, which caught almost all manufacturers off guard, but Huang Shaoguang was confident at this time.

Because as a watchtower commander who works on intelligence, all the terrain conditions here are under his control, including the unpredictable weather, and he has already had countermeasures against the mud.

After the vehicle entered the mud, the vehicle swayed even more violently, and the vortex iii engine made an intermittent roar. Several steel giant beasts desperately swung the mud-filled tracks.

"Accelerate and accelerate again" Huang Shaoguang kept ordering at the radio, because he knew that as long as he was not careful and let his chariot be turned off, the 20-ton monster would be like a wounded weak knee, unable to hold on to his heavy body and slowly collapsed in the mud.

Thinking of this, Huang Shaoguang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, at the beginning of the design of this car, the main scientists at the institute insisted on using relatively wide tracks, and the width of the load-bearing wheels was greatly increased, making the pressure and shear damage of his chariot on the road surface smaller.

Moreover, the design of the exhaust pipe of this car is curved upward, and its height exceeds its chassis. Although Huang Shaoguang inevitably ate a lot of putty while standing on the command tower, the possibility of the exhaust pipe being blocked by mud and water is much smaller.

Feeling the increasingly violent shaking, his heart became more and more nervous. Such a deep mud had far exceeded his previous judgment. Although he had made preparations in advance, he was not afraid of ten thousand, but he was afraid of it. If the engine overheated and went on a strike, he would be really dirty.

Fortunately, my machine did not have any problems first, but the prototype car from Shuize Metal Company fell into trouble first. The disadvantages of the suspension balanced suspension system are fully exposed in this big quagmire. The high body, small-diameter load-bearing wheels and narrow tracks are not suitable for driving in thick mud.

Soon, the car body was deeply trapped in the mud. Although it was barely driving for a short distance, more and more mud and stones rushed in from both sides.

Although those things are small, they really can't bear the large amount of things. So, soon, the load-bearing wheel was stuck by stones and mud. Looking at this scene, even Zhong Yang shook his head slightly. It would be great if the tracks were designed wider.

Now, the gap between the wheels is narrow, and with such a narrow track, it would be strange if the whole car doesn't fall into it. However, Huang Shaoguang did not spend more time on others because he saw a huge stone ten meters ahead of him. If the car hits it, it would be strange if he doesn't fly out. It's not fun to dive on two meters of mud.

So he picked up the microphone again and started shouting loudly: "Be careful of the obstacles ahead. There is obstacles ahead. Turn left and go to the left."

With his orders issued, the tracks on the left side of the tank began to rotate in the opposite direction. The black soil and gray mud splashed outwards. Two minutes later, the tank successfully completed the steering and quickly corrected the direction. Like a fierce giant bear, it slowly crawled forward, and behind it was a deep snake-shaped mud trace.

After testing here, it was actually completely enough. Zhong Yang used his military products to once again let Liu Haoran and Chen Ze understand that the heavy industry development path they were going to take was still a long way to go.

The Brutal Bear I-type tank does show its potential as a predator at the top of the battlefield food chain. This extremely terrifying weapon is emerging in this chaotic era with a tough attitude.
