Rebirth of the 1980s: The Military Industry Empire

Bang!

Dr. Wright slammed his hand heavily on the table, making it sting a little.

"Mr. Qin, is this thing really worth so much money to us? You're clearly trying to rip us off!"

Dr. Wright was very angry, and the consequences would be severe. Fahata, who was beside him, also felt a thump in his heart, not knowing how to persuade him. He looked at Qin Yang with worried eyes, only to find Qin Yang sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking very relaxed.

"Dr. Wright, you're a technical expert, you should know that a genius's creativity is priceless. Our design draft is not worth much, but the design方案 we came up with is very valuable. For Fahata's sake, a million was reduced to 8.88 million, and you're actually saying we're ripping you off? If you take it out, this idea can sell for hundreds of millions."

"What idea? Isn't it just putting all the tank crew members in the front? This idea isn't yours; many tank designers have thought of it!"

"Then why did you come to ask us?" Qin Yang said casually: "Isn't it because you didn't have any ideas yourself, so you came to ask us? Now, how can you say that you have this idea yourself? Alas, many people, after achieving success, start to think they are superior and no longer have the spirit of diligent learning and questioning they once had."

After speaking, Qin Yang stood up: "In short, our transaction is complete. We have fulfilled our promise. It's pointless to argue. Goodbye!"

"Wait!" Of course, Dr. Wright wouldn't let Qin Yang leave easily. He pointed to the design drawing: "You promised a physical defense thickness of one meter. Is it there? If not, you have to refund us!"

"Of course, it's there." Qin Yang said: "Measure it with a ruler. Is the equivalent thickness of our armor on the front one meter?"

Fahata looked at the design drawing with interest, and his eyes lit up. This tank design is truly special!

The engine is at the back, the automatic loader is in the middle below, and the turret is on top. The entire weapon system occupies all the space in the center of the vehicle, so the three tank crew members can only sit in the front.

The advantage of this is that it eliminates the need for armor protection on the turret. After all, what the tank needs to protect is the people. Just increase the frontal protection of the people.

The M1 tank uses a hull-down defense method, but the current design reverts to the conventional one. The front side is designed as a wedge shape, like the additional bustle rack on later tank turrets, with large angles of inclination at the top and bottom. Although the armor in the front is only three or four hundred millimeters thick, when converted to the horizontal direction, it really is one meter thick!

Moreover, this one-meter-thick armor is only installed on the front of the vehicle body, and there is not too much armor on the turret, which greatly reduces the weight!

"Even if the physical thickness meets the standard, can you guarantee it won't be overweight?" Dr. Wright continued to ask: "You just promised that the armor weight would be similar to our existing one. This would add at least ten tons. You're lying! I want compensation!"

"That's right, the front has increased a lot, but the turret can be lightened." Qin Yang said: "Your previous turret had to accommodate three people, so it was a large turret, and it also had to ensure the safety of the people. The armor of the turret was the thickest part of the entire tank. Now? The volume of the turret is greatly reduced, and it doesn't need to accommodate people, so reducing the weight by ten tons is no problem at all."

The total weight of the M1 tank is over fifty-five tons, and the turret accounts for twenty-five tons of the weight. This is because the turret is very large, the armor is very thick, and there is also a basket underneath, which increases the weight. Now, there is no one in the turret, so the weight can naturally be reduced significantly.

With one increase and one decrease, the final total weight can still remain unchanged.

Dr. Wright's face was ugly: "Putting all three people in the front is unscientific! How should we design our fire control system? How can we allow them to observe the outside situation easily and fight calmly as before?"

"This problem can certainly be solved." Qin Yang said: "However, this is another project. If you want to buy it, it's still ten million. Based on your attitude just now, we won't lower the price this time. Ten million is ten million."

Another ten million!

Fahata sighed in his heart. This Mr. Qin was right. The design drawing sold yesterday was just the beginning. One problem leads to another. If you want to solve it, you have to keep spending money!

Dr. Wright's face became even uglier. He had already been fooled twice. Could he be fooled again?

"What you can think of, we can also think of. America's technology is definitely not worse than the East!"

"But you only have a good industrial base. Your intelligence may not necessarily be as high as ours. Are you really sure you don't want to purchase our plan?"

"Of course not!" Dr. Wright roared: "We will definitely solve it. You just wait and see."

Nie Xiaoqian sighed on the side. Brother Yang is really amazing, playing the Americans like a fiddle!

In fact, there are no further designs.

After all, we are at a disadvantage in terms of fire control systems. Brother Yang doesn't have a suitable solution to solve the problem of how the people in the front aim at the target. The optical path will be more complicated. Brother Yang didn't draw this kind of design drawing either.

That's why Brother Yang is so sarcastic and provocative. The other party also has self-esteem and will definitely not buy it again. One ring sets another. The other party has to cut their losses in time. This way, let the other party think for themselves! This problem is likely to be unsolvable.

"Dr. Wright, you are very emotional right now, which is not conducive to communication. Wait until your emotions have recovered, and then come to us. Our plan is a fixed-ammunition plan, which is more scientific in design. Forty rounds of ammunition can be loaded and fired at any time…"

Fixed ammunition? Forty rounds?

The West likes to use fixed ammunition because the core of the armor-piercing projectile can always be poked to the bottom of the propellant charge, in front of the primer. This allows the armor-piercing projectile's penetrator rod to be made as long as possible, increasing penetration ability. However, continuing to increase the caliber will also increase the weight of the shell, making automatic loading more difficult, so the armor-piercing projectile can only be divided into two sections, which is less technically difficult.

"Moreover, the physical protection thickness of the tank crew members will exceed two meters. However, since you don't want to spend money, then forget it."

"I have a maximum of 1.12 million here. If you are willing, take this money and tell me your design方案." Dr. Wright's words stunned Fahata. Changed so quickly? He is willing to continue spending money?

However, it's only a little over a million. Will Mr. Qin care? Isn't he still planning for the next ten million?

With this thought in mind, Fahata looked at Qin Yang, only to see Qin Yang nodding: "Okay, then I will reluctantly accept it, but this little money can only draw a structural diagram on the spot, definitely not a detailed diagram."

"Okay!"
