The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 110 Type 80 Self-Propelled Anti-aircraft Gun (Please collect and read)
There are nearly 20,000 employees and their families in the three factories.

At present, the houses in Panshan Machinery Factory are definitely not enough to accommodate people.

More houses will inevitably need to be built.

Twenty thousand people would require almost four thousand houses!

For long-term planning, Liu Tao decided as early as last year to build another 8,000 houses!
At this point, the residential areas within the entire jurisdiction have basically been locked down.

It will not be possible to build more dormitory buildings in the short term.

All the places that can be used to build dormitory buildings have been built.

Unless cars become popular in the future and everyone can drive themselves, they can build houses on the mountains, or wait for construction technology to develop and build taller floors.

Otherwise, within the jurisdiction of Panshan Machinery Factory, there are only so many houses that can be built and so many people that can live there!
Since the large-scale construction of Panshan Machinery Factory began last year, the idle labor force in the surrounding towns and villages has been absorbed.

The troops even called in more engineers to carry out construction.

This year is even more terrifying. The other three factories are expected to start construction in two months. Plus the construction of the Chaishitan Reservoir, 200,000 people will be mobilized to participate in the construction.

One can imagine the horror of the organizational capabilities at this time.

If you don’t have an excavator or a bulldozer, it doesn’t matter, just use a hoe to dig the soil!

If there’s no dump truck, no problem, just use a shoulder pole!

Liu Tao sometimes finds it incredible when he thinks about it. It really is endless fun to fight against the sky, the earth and people!

The will to fight against heaven and earth is the noble will that people of this era possess!
After making the arrangements, Liu Tao continued to drive the Type 59 tank most of the day.

Others thought he was obsessed with driving tanks, but in fact he was developing armored vehicle technology.

Before I knew it, two months had passed.

Production workshop.

Liu Tao looked at the tank in front of him which had changed greatly. Or perhaps it was not appropriate to call it tank, it should be called a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.

"This self-propelled anti-aircraft gun will be called the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun!" Liu Tao directly named it the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun according to habit.

With his hands on the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, Liu Tao looked at the virtual panel in the corner of his eye.

[Item: Type 80 Self-Propelled Anti-aircraft Gun]

【Manufacturer: Liu Tao】

[Item Level: LV10 (not upgradeable)]

[Upgrade Points: 500]

[Item status: intact, analyzable]

Liu Tao looked at the "not upgradeable" prompt inside and knew that this was the limit of what could be achieved with current materials and processing technology.

Then he checked the detailed indicators. The vehicle is 10 meters long, 3.71 meters wide, weighs 47 tons, has a crew of 3, and is powered by a new turbocharged intercooled diesel engine with 1500 horsepower and a peak power of 1800 horsepower. It has a maximum off-road speed of 60 kilometers per hour, a maximum road speed of 90 kilometers per hour, a maximum range of 600 kilometers, and a maximum wading depth of 1.2 meters.

武器系统：装备两门80式35mm高射炮，有效射程6000米、有效射高5000米、口径35毫米、理论射速为550发/分、火炮的方向射界为360°，高低射界-5°~+85°，炮管寿命5000发。适配弹药由燃烧榴弹、曳光燃烧榴弹、穿甲燃烧爆破弹、曳光穿甲燃烧爆破弹等组成，配用弹底电子印信榴弹和弹头机械引信。

The basic ammunition quantity is 640 rounds, of which 600 rounds are loaded inside the turret with fragmentation ammunition equipped with proximity fuses, mainly used for air combat guided by radar; 40 rounds are stored in the external magazines on both sides of the turret, loaded with armor-piercing shells and anti-personnel grenades, mainly used for attacks on ground personnel and lightly armored targets guided by optical sights.

Portable air defense missiles can be carried on both sides. The "Vanguard" air defense missile weighs 18 kg, the missile is 1.59 meters long, the missile weighs 11.32 kg, the missile diameter is 72 mm, the warhead weighs 1.42 kg, the interception altitude is 10~4000 meters, the maximum combat slant range is 500~6000 meters, the guidance mode is passive infrared homing, the control mode is proportional guidance, the system response time is 2 seconds, the missile speed is 600 meters/second, and the power system is a two-stage solid engine.

It adopts a full-type dry pulse Doppler system air search radar with an S-band operating frequency band. In addition, it combines infrared and television tracking to form a composite tracking and guidance system with excellent anti-interference ability. The maximum effective range is 20 kilometers, the antenna rotation speed is 60 circles/minute, and it can perform 360° omnidirectional search when stopped and moving. The system response time is 4 to 6 seconds.

At the same time, two periscope optical sights are installed on the turret, one for the commander and one for the gunner, and are equipped with a stabilized gyroscope. The sight has a magnification of 1.5 times for air shooting and 6 times for ground shooting.

The integrated fire control is also very powerful, using a digital fire control computer. The commander and gunner's control panels of the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun use displays. There is also an auxiliary computer in the turret, which can continue to run to correct the trajectory of the anti-aircraft gun after problems with the host computer. It is also connected to a friend-or-foe identification system, which can automatically identify the enemy and open fire.

The hull and turret are both fully welded steel armor, with Kevlar bulletproof lining inside. The front armor of the turret can withstand attacks from 100mm armor-piercing projectiles at 14.5 meters, and the sides and rear can withstand shooting from 7.62mm armor-piercing projectiles. It is equipped with a three-defense system, with 4 electric-shock smoke grenade launchers on each side of the turret. At the same time, the vehicle has a fire prevention and explosion suppression device that can respond within 0.3 seconds, and there is a hatch at the rear of the vehicle for quick escape.

It can be said that this is definitely a low-altitude air defense artifact that will greatly enhance the low-altitude air defense capability.

At least helicopters will no longer appear on the battlefield at will.

Liu Tao was very satisfied with the performance of this self-propelled anti-aircraft gun. This was already the most advanced self-propelled anti-aircraft gun that China could produce at present with all its efforts. No matter how advanced it was, it could not be produced without the technology.

"The tracked self-propelled anti-aircraft gun is done, the next one is the wheeled self-propelled anti-aircraft gun!" Liu Tao's eyes flashed with brilliance.

Tracked and wheeled self-propelled anti-aircraft guns each have their own advantages and disadvantages. You don't have to choose one or the other, you can choose all of them.

"After we have finished developing the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, we can then develop the tanks!" Liu Tao had a plan in mind.

With this experience, he is very confident that China can have the third-generation tanks ahead of schedule.

Instead of being like now, where we don’t even have a second-generation main battle tank!

"System, analysis!" Liu Tao muttered to himself.

In an instant, the system completed all the analysis of the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.

A complete set of technical information has been formed on the virtual panel.

It can be said that this complete set of technical information is not only useful for self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, but can also have an impact on many fields in China.

For example, radar technology, anti-aircraft gun technology, armor technology, and diesel engine technology.
Of course, there is also the production technology of many materials, which, in a sense, is the most important.

Just looking at so much information, Liu Tao felt excited, thrilled, and bitter.

He has a lot of work to do to turn these materials into paper form.

Even if it is just copying, it will take a lot of energy.

　The third update is here!

　　I beg you to collect, read and vote for me!
