Rebirth of Military Workers

"Come on, drink water." Leading Xie Kai into the office, Zheng Yucheng personally poured him a glass of water, and the two sat on the sofa made of poplar wood.

"Weapon projects, everyone wants to engage, and the country also needs advanced weapons and equipment to enhance its national defense capabilities. The problem is that advanced weapons projects are technically difficult and consume a lot of funds, and everyone has not made much breakthrough. The performance is not advanced enough, and the military will not. Yes." Zheng Yucheng saw that the kid Xie Kai didn't speak, he cursed secretly in his heart, and took the initiative to speak.

This kid is too unkind, aroused his own interest to sell off.

"If the U.S. Emperor sells the F14 to the military, can the military afford it?" Xie Kai picked up the enamel cup, took a drink, and asked Zheng Yucheng.

Zheng Yucheng was stunned.

The more advanced weapons and equipment, the more advanced technologies and materials are used.

As a result, the price is naturally extremely expensive. With the current poor annual funding of the military, it is really impossible to equip an expensive fighter like the F14.

"So, weapons and equipment are not as advanced as possible, but practical." Xie Kai was very satisfied with the kind of astonishment on Zheng Yucheng's face. "The ability to narrow the technological gap with foreign countries and keep catching up with foreign countries is what we should consider. The technological foundation is not good, and if you directly go to advanced projects, you will either have results for many years and decades, and you will fall behind; But foreign countries will never sell us too advanced technology..."

"Just say what you want to do." Zheng Yucheng couldn't wait to slap the kid's head to pieces, and then watch his thoughts for himself.

It's so disturbing.

"Tanks! Rockets! Helicopters!" Xie Kai thought a lot.

In the early stage, it was impossible to participate in such a huge project as a fighter jet.

"Both 617 and 541 are engaged in tanks. Most of the production capacity of 541 has been transferred to civilian production! Let's make tanks again, it's appropriate? Besides, we only have the technology of Type 59 tanks, which can't compare with 617." Zheng Yucheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. .

Sure enough, it's a child, and it's not too thoughtful.

It is not enough to have a passion for military research.

The base has technology, but it is backward technology decades ago, and there are not many technical personnel. There is no way to compete with 617 at all.

"What if the performance of the Type 59 modification we researched exceeds the latest 617 tank? We don't compete with them, only modify the type to improve the Type 59 combat performance and battlefield survivability..." Xie Kai said.

Originally, he intended to let his father use these as promotion capital and gradually launch it.

The old man is in Hongqi Machinery Factory, so he can't have the support of the base headquarters.

There are more than 10,000 people in Hongqi Machinery Factory, many of whom are skilled workers, and not many who specialize in design research.

However, there are a large number of technical designers left by the Ministry of Industry in the base.

"Didn't your dad change the 59 tanks into military excavators? Are you trying to sing a drama with him." Zheng Yucheng looked puzzled.

Xie Jianguo knows that Xie Kai's idea is to obtain a large number of domestic orders for 59 tank modifications. If the combat performance of the 59 tank can be improved without spending too much money, the military will naturally be happy.

"I mentioned it to him. He said that my little child was thinking about it and not doing his job properly." Xie Kai didn't say that Dad's digging machine was all made by himself.

"Oh, just thinking? How do you think about it? If you are engaged in military technology, you have to dare to think. If you didn't dare to think back then, who could make a mushroom bomb that could destroy the earth?" Zheng Yucheng became more interested. "Tell me how you think about it."

Both Long Yaohua and Zhao Xingbang are full of praise for Xie Kai's unconstrained ideas.

Who dares to say that there is nothing achievable in it?

"It's very simple. Put a 125-caliber tank gun on the 59 tank!" With a small body carrying a cannon, this is the craziest and most frenzied magic modification of the Type 59.

The 59 tanks with 125mm cannons and top-of-the-line electronic warfare systems are not even far behind mainstream Western tanks in combat effectiveness.

Hearing this, Zheng Yucheng's eyes instantly widened.

It's crazy to think about it.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

However, how come I feel so exciting.

The larger the caliber of the gun, the more powerful it is, of course there is no need to say.

Zheng Yucheng didn't know the technology in particular, and he didn't know whether installing such a large-caliber tank gun on the small body of the 59 tank would cause the tank to overturn due to too much recoil when the gun was fired.

He felt that such an idea should be realized.

If so, people in the military will definitely be happy.

"There is no such large-caliber tank gun production technology in China. If you want to realize this idea, you have to build a tank gun!" Zheng Yucheng said with some embarrassment.

"The previous WZ-122 tank is going to be equipped with a 120mm smoothbore gun. Does the base have technical reserves?" Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng.

Zheng Yucheng's eyes almost fell off. "Your kid seems to know the secrets of our base well?"

"It's not a secret. At the beginning, we helped to move the drawings!" Xie Kai said disdainfully, "I was only 9 years old at that time, and I heard two movers say that such an advanced project would not continue. It's a pity. If it can be done, the U.S. and Soviet repair tanks will not be opponents... Then I will remember, so I will be interested in tanks..."

Xie Kai didn't tell a lie.

The WZ-122 tank was a project in the mid-sixties. The main targets were the Soviet T545562 and the American M60, as well as the medium and heavy tanks that may appear in the near future. The performance indicators are much higher than the 69 tank.

However, due to technical and financial constraints, the performance indicators were too high, and the mainstream international tank guns were rifled guns instead of smoothbore guns. China's materials and machining technology were not good enough, and eventually had to be dismantled.

I've heard it before, but Xie Kai didn't feel anything.

Now that he is reborn, how can he not use it?

The domestic 125mm smoothbore gun was developed after the introduction of the Soviet T72 tank in the mid-1980s and the 2A46 125mm large-caliber smoothbore gun equipped with it.

At the same time, the WZ-122 tank 122 smoothbore gun is still being improved in China. The 120mm tank gun that was finally produced has various performances comparable to the German Leopard 2 tank 120mm smoothbore gun.

Unfortunately, the 120mm did not have enough funds for research and development, coupled with logistical considerations, and it was too late to complete the development and completion of the 125 tank gun.

In the most advanced main station tank selection, the country still uses the more mature 125mm tank gun.

Of course, this may also be related to the influence of the domestic artillery ideology. The greater the caliber, the greater the power.

"..." Zheng Yucheng faced Xie Kai's explanation, and he had nothing to say.

There is no way to refute it.

The base does have technical reserves in this area.

"So, I think it can still be done. As long as the 125mm tank gun is made out and installed on the 59 tank, the power will definitely not be small. After all, our technology is much higher than that of the 1960s." Xie Kai Fudge With.

He knows that the two most critical technologies for the new generation of tank guns-electroslag remelting and barrel self-tightening are the key.

You can't wait until you have technology in the future, right?

Slowly doing it is better than waiting.

"That's true, you can discuss this with them and see if you can do it." Zheng Yucheng nodded and said yes. "What's the matter with the rocket launcher? We only have straight -5 technology for the helicopter thing..."

"The rocket launcher is still based on the fifty-nine tank chassis. The technical difficulty is not big. The main thing is to study a longer range and greater power... The base also has basic technology, and then install the launcher. On the chassis..."

The domestic rocket launcher is the number one in the world.

However, it has not yet reached the level of advanced technology.

If the rocket launcher is successfully developed, there will be technology to develop in the direction of the missile. With so many people in the base, there must be enough projects.

Xie Kai didn't want the base to eventually return to the old road.

When Zheng Yucheng was the director, he had been working hard to save the base, but his mind remained unchanged. He didn't want to engage in civilian products. He always wanted to engage in military products. Therefore, the base has always survived, relying on other things. The unit gives some processing orders...

"What about the helicopter? The Zhi-7's technology is too poor and its performance is lagging behind, so the military won't want it out." Zheng Yucheng frowned and said.

The base is full of old technology foundations.

"We don’t engage in transport helicopters, armed helicopters, and specialized armed helicopters. Combat with tanks and get a complete set. Leader, think about it, the tank opens the way, the armed helicopter protects it, and the rocket launcher is hundreds of kilometers behind. Hidden and supported, this battle is easy to fight. The previous fight is almost the same. When there is no threat, we will send a transport helicopter to transport our army to clean the battlefield..."

Modern warfare will shake the world in the Gulf War.

The torrent of steel in the Soviet Union no longer fits the development model.

In this regard, Xie Kai knows that the thinking of the Republic’s military is still the Soviet model.

After all, the West-81 military exercise conducted by the Soviet Union in 1981 scared the whole world.

The torrent of steel in the Soviet Union made the whole world tremble. On the Sino-Soviet border, the Soviet steel torrent has not yet been withdrawn, and the entire northern border of the Republic is under threat.

"Of course, if there are more advanced fighter jets that maintain air dominance in the higher air, this war will be easier." Xie Kai said quietly.

As for the fighter jet, now the base can't get in at all.

In the 1990s, if there is a chance and the base has enough funds, it will directly develop in the direction of technology with stealth fighters.

Three-dimensional combat is the future direction of development.

Xie Kai's ideas will not be taken seriously, but Zheng Yu's achievements are different.

He came down from the battlefield, understood the war, and had a good relationship with the military leaders, so he would naturally pay attention to what he said.
