The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Zhu Yusheng is a participant in China’s second-generation main battle tank.

However, the development team faced many difficulties, such as unclear technical indicators.

Even during the demonstration, it was discovered that it was almost impossible for China to develop a second-generation main battle tank that would compete with the American M60 main battle tank.

Therefore, the initial development goal was to develop a main battle tank that could compete with the T55.

Unfortunately, the second-generation main battle tank development project came to nothing before it was included in the national plan.

With the ‘Type 80’ main battle tank, the country will naturally not waste money on developing a main battle tank that is far inferior to even the M60.

But after all, the research in the past few years has always yielded results.

Everyone is thinking about magically modifying the Type 59 tank to improve the performance of the Type 59 tank, thereby improving the combat effectiveness of the Type 59 tank.

As China's first main battle tank, the Type 59 tank can be said to be everyone's pride.

Watching these Type 59 tanks disappear and be sealed up is definitely not what everyone wants.

As a participant, Zhu Yusheng naturally wanted to modify the Type 59 tank.

This involves two core technologies. Others, such as improving armor protection capabilities and improving main gun performance, can all use the technology of Panshan Machinery Factory.

But there are two things that have to be considered, one is the fire control system, and the other is the tank engine.

Fire control system, the fire control system of the new tank cannot be copied to the Type 59 tank, because the structure of the tank is completely different. It is simply not feasible to copy the fire control system of the new tank to the Type 59 tank.

The second is the tank. Although the engine performance of the Type 81 medium tank can definitely meet the requirements of the modified Type 59 tank, you must know that the engine size of the Type 81 medium tank is different from that of the Type 59 tank.

This means that the engine of the Type 81 medium tank cannot be directly copied to the Type 59 tank.

If they want to magically modify the Type 59 tank, they must at least have a thorough understanding of the engine technology and fire control system technology, and then on this basis, they can design a fire control system and engine suitable for the Type 59 tank!

But in this regard, they also encountered huge problems.

Although they also watched as technicians produced engines and installed fire control systems.

But that is simply knowing it but not knowing why.

They just went step by step, producing engines and installing fire control systems.

As the top expert in this field, Liu Tao can provide solutions for the magic modification of the Type 59 tank. However, Liu Tao's view has always been that the Type 59 tank should be gradually replaced and equipped with new tanks, and the eliminated Type 59 tanks are All exported overseas as much as possible.

Besides, Liu Tao is so busy, how can he have time to modify the Type 59 tank?

Beijing, Siheyuan.

Liu Tao and others returned to the courtyard. Liu Tao washed his hands, then eagerly came to the room and picked up his daughter.

At this time, the baby is not yet a month old, but it is much cuter than when he was born.

The skin is very white, the eyes are big, very energetic, and the hair grows very well.

In terms of facial features, she looks more like Zhu Lin. I think she will be a little beauty in the future.

Liu Tao just hugged her, and her daughter started to laugh. This pure smile made Liu Tao burst out laughing, and then he couldn't help but kiss the child once, twice, or three times on the forehead!

"You, be careful of your son being jealous." Zhu Lin said with a smile.

She is still in confinement, less than a month old at this time.

In addition, it was snowing lightly outside, and Zhu Lin would not even step out of the room.

"The ancients said that a daughter is the caring little cotton-padded jacket of her parents, so naturally she should be pampered more." Liu Tao didn't care at all.

The poor raise a son, the rich raise a daughter.

Sons are meant for beating, daughters are meant for pain.

"How are you? Are you feeling unwell during this period?" Liu Tao held his daughter and looked at Zhu Lin.

Zhu Lin smiled and said: "Sister, they take good care of me. They stew chicken and red mushrooms for me to drink once a day. They also stew some stew for me to replenish my body. I have gained several pounds. "

"Don't worry, it's okay." Zhu Lin said, "You are at work, so don't worry too much about your family. Everything is fine at home."

Liu Tao put the child on the bed, picked up Zhu Lin's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I can only come back once a month!"

"This is already very good, I am already very satisfied." Zhu Lin said, "I am also worried that if you come back every month and take a plane, it will leave a bad impression and whether it will implicate you in the future. ”

Zhu Lin is still very satisfied with Liu Tao. He comes back eight days every month, and every time he comes back he brings big and small bags.

Every time I come back, I try to spend as much time with her as possible.

As for Liu Tao's family, they were also very kind to her, and she had never suffered any grievances.

It is said that there must be conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but since she married Liu Tao, she and Liu Tao's mother have not quarreled. Liu Tao's mother treats her as her own daughter.

"Eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink, and after the confinement period, you have to lose weight before losing weight." Liu Tao said, "The body is the most important thing."

"Got it!" Zhu Lin said.

I chatted with Zhu Lin for a while and even teased my daughter.

Then my daughter started crying, but it was time to feed.

Seeing his daughter sucking milk, Liu Tao couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Gently leave the room and close the door to prevent the wind from blowing in.

Although Zhu Lin is no different from a normal person now, it has been less than a month since she gave birth, and her body is still much weaker than that of an ordinary person. She can easily catch a cold when exposed to the wind.

Seeing that the chicken soup was already cooked, Liu Tao went to the room with chicken soup, rice and vegetables.

When Liu Tao returned to the room, his daughter had already eaten her fill and was sleeping.

Children are like this, they need to sleep for more than ten hours a day.

"Eat it while it's hot, don't eat it when it's cold." Liu Tao said.

Zhu Lin got up from the bed gently and started to eat.

Zhu Lin had a good appetite and didn't pick and choose, so he finished his meal quickly.

"You should also hurry up to eat, so that everyone won't be waiting for you. You should ask my dad to drink less." Zhu Lin said.

Liu Tao nodded. Zhu Lin's father had been on winter vacation during this period. After the winter vacation, Zhu Xiongxin would come here every day and even live in the courtyard. Zhu Lin's mother also came here today to celebrate the New Year together.

This year, they definitely couldn't go back to her parents' home like last year.

Fortunately, they lived not far from each other, so it was convenient to go back and forth.

When Liu Tao went out, everyone was still not moving. Today they were eating mutton hotpot. In fact, eating mutton hotpot in winter is more suitable than beef hotpot, because mutton is warm in nature, warms the middle and kidneys, and replenishes qi and blood. Eating mutton hotpot in winter is simply the best medicine for people who are afraid of the cold in winter. After eating a few tons of mutton, the whole body will be warm.

In addition to mutton, the bottom of the mutton pot also contains medicinal food, which exudes a strong medicinal fragrance.

The mutton hotpot cooked in this way will not have the smell of mutton.

And Liu Tao's mother has been boiling chrysanthemum tea in a pot, because eating mutton hotpot is more irritating, so it is more appropriate to drink a cup of chrysanthemum tea after eating.
