Chapter 336 Design Issues of M7o Main Battle Tank

The new tank code-named "m7o" is in the process of testing.

The last trial model performed very well, so the plan for a new tank was put on the agenda.

It continues part of the design of the M series, but internally, it has completely switched to a new automatic fire control system. The shooting accuracy has been greatly improved, and because the internal structure is different, the Sixth Army simply gave this tank

A new name "m7o" is used to distinguish it from the "m6o" series. After all, although the architecture is the same, the things inside are very different.

Billy Barber, a researcher at Ark Group, is currently measuring data in front of this M7O series main battle tank, which has not yet been fully finalized.

In order to take care of various internal automatic systems, the key protection parts of the m7o series tanks are also very different from current tanks. Because the new machine gun will become almost fully automatic, the machine gunner can completely

;This is also very different from the previous semi-automatic remote-controlled machine gun system.

The first point is to save a lot of space. For tanks, it can save part of the space. For the narrow internal space of the tank, this is of great significance.

In addition, because it is automatically controlled, the fire control system that needs to be installed at the base is very different from the m6o series.

Billy Barber is currently communicating with Chrysler personnel, all of whom are from Chrysler's Delaware Defense Plant.

"No, no, that is the most critical part of the mobile device. It is impossible to modify it. Otherwise, it will affect the rotation performance of the tank!"

Billy Barber originally designed the tank to be able to rotate easily, but it took a long time to solve this problem, but now the people at the Delaware Defense Factory actually cancel it if they say it is cancelled? Of course Billy does not

Dry.

Billy Barber is not a pure white man. He is a mixed race. He has a quarter of yellow blood in his body. He even has a Chinese name "Meng Ban", which sounds very good, but is Chinese.

I always laugh after hearing this. Sometimes Billy Barber often feels strange about this. It seems that precisely because he is a mixed race, Billy Barber is very talented - the perfect interpretation of hybrid vigor - so at this time

, he really hates others touching his designs.

In terms of the design of the fire control system and automation structure, Ark Group was responsible for completing it. To be more precise, it should be i Company and Apple.

As for the exterior design, it was all designed by Chrysler's Delaware Defense Plant.

The Delaware Defense Factory, a subsidiary of Chrysler Automobile Company, is the factory that has produced the M6O and many other tanks that have been adopted by the People's Liberation Army and are currently in service. It is also a well-known military industrial enterprise in the United States.

In order to enable new tanks to be manufactured as soon as possible, the Sixth Army simply adopted this model.

Allowing the Delaware defense factory with rich experience to cooperate with Ark should be able to quickly transform this product into a real finished product - this is what the Pentagon considers.

"If we follow your design, our armor will have to be redesigned. The prototype tank has almost no defensive power. If that shape is used in actual combat, it is simply not advisable!"

The researchers at the Delaware Defense Factory still rejected Billy's opinion.

"You just want to follow the design of m6o. You just want to save time and money! But the Pentagon has already given you enough money!"

Billy argued hard.

The other party paused at this time: "We... don't have that much time. If we start the design again, we need to modify a lot of places, and then we need to demonstrate again. In this case, we will probably need more than half a year.

Only then can m7o be finalized..."

"That's your business! You should be paid to do things!"

"No, that's extra work. If it weren't for stupid designs like yours, the m7o would be out of the factory by now!"

The two people started to quarrel, and other employees realized that something was wrong and immediately separated the two... God knows what would happen if they continued to quarrel - Billy still had a wrench in his hand, and the other person had a wrench in his hand.

The hammer is also shaking.

The prototype tank only tests the shooting accuracy and dynamic control system, but if it is a real tank, there are many things to consider.

Because the "skeleton" structure of the new m7o is very strange, it is impossible to redesign the appearance according to this skeleton. And such a thing has never happened in the past. And Billy's anger also makes some sense, because the other party

I just lazily modified the m6o slightly and took it over, and then asked Ark Group to modify the design.

The two sides were in a stalemate like this, and now, Billy finally couldn't bear it anymore. If he followed the other party's request, he would have to revise all aspects of it, and Ark had been preparing for this for more than a year. How could it be possible?

In this way, everything can be overturned just because of one action of the other party?

And in that case, Ark Group will also take a long time to design, and it will never be more time-saving than the design of the Delaware Defense Factory. And in that case, it will definitely not be able to achieve the current machine performance.

Even if the tank is finally designed, it will still be produced by the Delaware Defense Factory, but the other party obviously wants greater benefits - the characteristic of capital is profit-seeking, not pure high-tech development.

Technology, because high technology can bring them enough profits.

As long as they can obtain higher profits, they don't care about the performance of American tanks - as long as they deceive the Pentagon enough and flatter enough, everything will be settled.

On the contrary, the Ark Group is different.

The rise of Ark Group relies mostly on young technicians with ideals and ambitions. Their ideas are very different from those of employees of established companies such as Chrysler Automobile Company. They have just left the ivory tower of university.

The edges have not been smoothed out by society, and although there are still quite a few experienced technicians, young people make up the majority after all.

The conflict of ideas will inevitably lead to contradictions. This is just a microcosm...

…

"A conflict with Chrysler?!"

Catherine was shocked when she heard Sanders' report. When she originally purchased "The Godfather" and prepared to adapt it into a script, Sanders suddenly came over and told her such news, which was indeed a bit unexpected.

"Yes, it almost turned into a physical conflict, but luckily it was stopped."

"That's good……"

"Chrysler Motor Company..."

Catherine rested her chin on her pen.

Chrysler Motor Company is the third largest automobile manufacturer in the United States. The company is headquartered in Highland Park, Michigan.

In 1925, Walter Chrysler separated from General Motors and founded Chrysler Motors. In the same year, the company bought Maxwell Motors. In 1928, it bought Dodge Brothers Motor Company. From 1936 to 1949, it once passed the Ford Motor Company and became the United States.

The second largest automobile company, but in the early 1950s and 1960s, production was in a period of decline. In the mid-1960s, the company stabilized its position after restructuring.

For now, Chrysler is in a stage of stable development. However, Catherine does not know that if the historical trajectory remains unchanged, Chrysler will face a major crisis in the 1970s, with a rigid system, product quality problems, and poor sales...

...Chrysler almost went bankrupt because of it.

"What's going on?"

Although Ark is the leader in the electronics industry, she feels that she should be more cautious in front of traditional military enterprises. After all, the other party is an old Pentagon supplier, and its market value is higher than the entire Ark Group combined. At this time, its advantages cannot be exploited.

.

"Because the design drawings of the Delaware Defense Plant conflicted with our designs... they asked us to make changes to the design drawings."

This sounds really ridiculous: "Isn't that their job?"

Catherine looked at Sanders with puzzled eyes, and Sanders looked at Catherine with "you know" eyes.

The answer is already clear.

Catherine curled her lips: "Tie Gongji! I want money to the death!"

The two comments made Sanders look very embarrassed - but Catherine summed it up quite appropriately...

"What to do now?" Catherine was thinking.

"I heard that Mr. Walker has already gone over to negotiate. I guess nothing will happen, right?"

Walker, director of the Office of Quality Supervision and Management.

Catherine has dealt with this person several times. In Catherine's opinion, there is a word that can describe this person very well, and that is "angry youth".

Although he is in his forties or fifties, Walker is still an "angry" person. This characteristic can be reflected no matter when he is doing things or in the tone of his words.

Since he is such a person, he probably won't cause trouble for Ark, right?

Sure enough, within two days, the Delaware Defense Factory recognized the situation, but Ark Group also made certain compromises.

The two parties have finally decided to work together to develop a new type of tank, and both parties must sit together and discuss openly and honestly.

Catherine didn't have any objections to this. After all, without the cooperation of Ark Group, the quality of the "Assembled Tucker" finally put together would definitely not be as good as that produced through cooperation.

The plan was finally finalized, but Catherine couldn't take any time off. Eight years was also a busy year for Catherine...
