Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

"Why don't you just open up your engine and take a look?" Qin Yang said.

Qin Yang had been working day and night for the past few days, and he had only just finished installing the engine and gearbox. The engine compartment was directly covered with an armor plate, without any welding at all.

Following Qin Yang's introduction, the people next to him lifted the armor plate, and the engine compartment appeared in front of everyone.

Clark widened his eyes: "You actually tilted the engine inside?"

This inclination significantly reduced the height, and coupled with the improved turbocharger, they actually managed to stuff the engine into the back of the 59 tank without creating a bulge!

Clark became excited: If their light tanks could also be placed like this, the engine compartment could be smaller! This is really a good idea! As expected, Easterners are still very smart, they are good at breaking conventions, they are good at whimsical ideas!

As for affecting the engine's lifespan? He didn't think so much about it. For him, he was already shocked by this improvement, leaving only emotion.

"Not bad, you guys did a great job." Clark nodded and said, "Can this tank be started up and let us see it?"

"Of course, no problem." Qin Yang nodded: "We have already improved the transmission system, reducing speed and increasing torque, the performance is first-class. See how the performance is, someone, start the tank and show our guests! Don't install the cover plate yet!"

When they were negotiating, the transmission ratio of the gearbox was also a difficult point, which was also solved by Qin Yang. It was just a matter of changing a few planetary gears in the side transmission, very simple.

So, this 59 tank with the exposed engine sped wildly on the outside shooting range, with fast starting, rapid acceleration, sometimes climbing slopes, sometimes braking, and the steering was even more swift, making everyone nod in satisfaction.

"President Qin, it's indeed no problem to leave the improvement to you. Next, we will hand over this tank to us to improve the appearance. When the improvement is completed, we can officially launch it to the outside world under the name of the 'Americana Tiger' tank."

Now, there are so many T-54 series tanks on the international market, all of which can be improved in this way. He seems to have seen a bright future.

"Well, I'm afraid there are still some difficulties." Qin Yang said.

"Why?" Clark immediately became vigilant. What does President Qin want to do? We have already given you the Hummer, don't you want to hand over this improved tank to us?

"Our domestic army has already heard about this improved 'Americana Tiger' tank, and they are very interested. Now that we have modified the chassis, the army can't wait to take this tank for testing." Qin Yang said: "You should also know that once our army takes a fancy to it, it means a large number of orders!"

Clark nodded: "That's right, if your army wants to test it, you can give them priority for testing. By the way, how long will they test it for?"

"One or two years should be enough."

"What, one or two years?" Clark frowned: "Why so long?"

"Our country's terrain is too complicated. The north is very cold, the south is very hot, and the northwest is a plateau. We must test all the different environments before we can judge whether the tank is suitable for our needs."

"But, we can't wait, we are also looking forward to taking it back as soon as possible for appearance modification." A month or two is acceptable, but they can't wait for one or two years.

"Unfortunately, there is only one." Qin Yang also frowned: "I can't be in two places at once!"

This sentence reminded Clark: "In this way, we will provide another set of engine and gearbox, and you will improve another one, so that it can meet the testing needs of your army, and we can also take one back for modification, how about that?"

"This is not very good, is it? We agreed on only one set at the beginning, and you sent another set, how can we be embarrassed?"

"It doesn't matter, it's all for the 'Americana Tiger' project. It is right for our company to provide another set. It's just that we have a request. When our engine and gearbox are shipped over, can we ship the current prototype to us, and the second one you assembled will be used for your troops to test?"

"Of course, no problem! However... after testing by our troops, I am afraid that the lifespan of the engine and gearbox will be very little left."

"It doesn't matter, it is necessary to have high-intensity testing to show how strong the performance of our engine and gearbox is. It doesn't matter if it runs to the end of its lifespan. When your troops get used to the automatic transmission, they will definitely eliminate the original power system."

Nie Xiaoqian followed beside him, and she was very emotional. Did she get another set of engine and gearbox over again with empty hands? Moreover, this set is not intended to be returned to the Americans at all!

Although it is an engine and gearbox on a car, it is still of great help to the development of the tank power system.

"Okay, then it's settled." Qin Yang said, "It's getting late, let's go to the cafeteria for dinner, just to welcome you."

While Qin Yang was busy, another large group of people were also busy, the Black Hawk's rotor was assembled, and the test officially kicked off.

In these news, the matter of Qin Yang, on behalf of Fangbei Company, buying a Hummer at a super low price, seems not so eye-catching. Only a few people smelled the problem from it.

When night fell, Leader Dong rushed to the 960 factory. After Qin Yang accompanied the guests for dinner and reluctantly parted, he had the opportunity to talk to Qin Yang.

Develop for the troops?

Leader Dong frowned: "Tell me about it."

"So far, our army is still using ordinary 212s as standard off-road vehicles, which are already outdated. We need advanced models to replace them. Last time I went to the Americans, when I saw the Hummer, I was moved, and I had to find a way to get one back for our army to test."

"Then you can directly say it clearly."

"Say it directly? Wouldn't that cost money? Would the army be willing to pay? If the Americans knew that the army needed it, wouldn't they promote it in large quantities? They are selling products, not improving our military industry strength. So, I used this method to let the Americans send us one. I, Qin Yang, am wholeheartedly for the country and the army, and I won't take other people's rumors seriously. Uncle Dong, you won't be like those vulgar people, will you?"

Qin Yang said it seriously. If it were someone else, he would definitely believe in his sincere heart, but Leader Dong could only shake his head helplessly: "Okay, since you have thought it through, then I will take my words as superfluous."

This picture will be used later, let's guess what this is doing first.
