Siheyuan: The Era of Core Generation

Chapter 243 Blizzard Tank
Explosive reactive armor is the easiest of all modifications.

His design itself is not complicated, the key lies in the formula of the inert z drug.It took less than half a month for Zhao Ye to produce the product.

It was still a military base on the outskirts of Beijing, and a tank was being refitted at this time.His modification is very simple, that is, welding some fixing parts on the body and turret of the tank, and then hanging pieces of reactive armor on it.

Of course, the position of the fixing part is strictly designed.This will make the reactive armor as dense as possible without affecting some performance of the tank itself.

By the time this is all assembled, from the outside, the original shadow of the tank can hardly be seen.

The whole tank has gained a lot of weight, and its appearance is more powerful and domineering.

"Zhao Ye, can this armor of yours really withstand close-range attacks from tanks?" General Chen still doesn't believe it. He has already seen the reactive armor. There are only two layers of steel plates that are not too late. The large-caliber bullets can't hold it.

"Will it work? You'll know if you try it! It's useless to talk more, let the live pigs you prepared come here?"

"Here, you want to use pigs for testing?" General Chen finally realized that Zhao Ye wanted to stuff pigs into the tank for testing.

Does he want to eat pork?If the pig is killed, he will be able to eat pork. There is no need to find a reason for this. As for the experimental product, of course it is up to their researchers to deal with it.

A pig weighing more than 100 kilograms was stuffed in by four or five soldiers with a lot of effort.The interior space of the tank is not big, and it is really not easy to stuff a pig into it.

The tank was driven to the training ground, and after everyone around them entered the bunker, another tank drove over.

This tank is loaded with live ammunition, and the task is to shoot at the tank that has just been refitted at a distance of 100 meters.

"Report, the 801 has finished aiming, the position of the target test tank turret, please instruct!"

"Fire!"

"Yes, fire!"

"Boom" with a loud noise.

"Hit the target." 801 commander's report came, and General Chen immediately ordered: "801 keep the barrel empty and don't reload."

"Yes, the barrel is empty and unloaded."

Hearing this, General Chen led the crowd out of the bunker and walked towards the tank that had just been hit.

Even if the 801 tank was not loaded, it still turned the muzzle in one direction and no longer pointed it here.

The commander also opened the top cover, looking curiously at the target they just shot.In his heart, he hoped that he had destroyed the target, but also hoped that he had not.As a tank soldier, he certainly knew what it meant to have an armor that could withstand such a close-range attack from him.

"Ah! There are no scars on the surface!" A researcher looked at the reactive armor that had just been hung up, and seven or eight pieces exploded, and the position was only a little blackened, and it was not hit by the armor-piercing projectile at all. trace.

General Chen was also in a state of shock, but he reacted immediately, and immediately shouted: "Quick, see if the pig inside is dead!"

A soldier quickly jumped onto the tank, and opened the hatch of the tank.

"Report to the chief, the pig should be fine."

"What do you mean should be fine? Is there anything you can't see?" General Chen was quite dissatisfied with the soldier's answer.

"Report, the pig has no external injuries, but it doesn't move. I don't know if there are internal injuries." The soldier replied aggrieved.

"Well, it may be injured by the shock." General Chen said with a frown.

Zhao Ye didn't think so. The explosives inside the reactive armor on the outer layer were limited, so it was impossible to injure the pigs inside.

"Then, find a stick, poke it, and see if it's frightened by the battle just now." After Zhao Ye finished speaking, the soldier didn't look for a stick, and directly used the rifle's gun He stabbed the pig's butt twice with his mouth, and the pig immediately grunted.

"Okay, it seems that the pig is fine, and the yelling is quite confident." General Chen also felt relieved. Of course, he hoped that this kind of armor would be limited. If it can withstand a hundred mm armor-piercing projectile, it is enough to prove that this armor is strong enough to resist the attack of any tank gun in the world.

Afterwards, the pig did not escape the fate of being frightened to death, and the test continued. The 801 tank fired eight shells at the test tank, attacking the front armor, side armor, rear armor, and even the tracks. Reactive armor was not spared.

The result of this kind of test is the most direct. If you can resist it, you can resist it. A test tank that is still intact after being hit by eight armor-piercing bullets and can continue to operate is the best proof.

Immediately, the result was reported to the top management.For such an armor with low cost and excellent effect, no one can refuse.

It didn't take long for our country to develop a kind of armor that could not be pierced by any armor-piercing bullets, and the news began to spread.

Zhao Ye didn't care about this, he was currently instructing everyone to continue upgrading the tank.

The laser aiming system is installed, the commander command system is installed, the infrared system is installed, the on-board computer is installed, the battlefield radar system is installed, and the stabilization system is also upgraded.

In the end, the 125mm tank gun was also invented by Zhao Ye.In a workshop of the Red Star Rolling Mill, a brand-new technology was developed by Zhao Ye, and the quality parameters of the produced tank gun were much higher than those of the 72.

It can be said that this kind of tank gun will not be outdated after 30 years of use.The high-level of the army attaches great importance to it. After repeated experiments and tests, it is regarded as an artifact and kept secret. He will not be seen on the foreign trade version of the tank.

It doesn't matter to Zhao Ye, the big deal is to make a weakened version.Just follow the performance indicators of the special 72 tank gun.

A few months later, a newly upgraded new type of tank was displayed in front of everyone.

It is said that it is a new type of tank, but in fact its site, power system, and armor have not changed much.It's just that there are too many reactive armors mounted on the outside, which makes it look fatter.The artillery has been upgraded and some equipment has been installed on the top of the turret.In addition, a fence and smoke grenade launchers were installed around the turret.

This is only an external change. If you enter the car, the change will be more obvious.In the positions of the commander, gunner, and driver, there is an additional display screen to assist combat and night driving.For the high planes at the top, it can even be operated from the inside, automatic fire.

More importantly, this tank is also equipped with an air conditioning system that is very luxurious in our opinion.

Installing air conditioners on tanks is simply incomprehensible to professional soldiers.Tanks are used for war, so what's the point of installing an air conditioner?In other words, there is no such condition in our dormitory.

But how could Zhao Ye think it was useless!That's in the desert area, those young soldiers are not our soldiers, they pay attention to hard work, that's not their style.Moreover, in the desert environment, making soldiers more comfortable is also a way to improve combat effectiveness.

Ever since, the world's first air-conditioned tank was named "Blizzard Tank" by its superiors, which means it is cool.
