"This...Mr. Lu, are you talking about a tank engine?"

Seeing Li Fanyu ask, Lu Mingde nodded, "Yes, it's a tank engine!"

"Isn't our current tank engine good?" Li Fan asked curiously.

Although he does not know much about the military, he also knows that the Type 99 series of tanks currently in use in the army have good performance and have repeatedly achieved good results in competitions with foreign tanks.

Lu Mingde looked at him with a confused look on his face, nodded, and then shook his head, "The performance of the 150BH mounted on the Type 99 tanks currently in service is only adequate, and it is far from excellent."

"Um..." Li Fanyu didn't know the inside story.

Weaponry and equipment technologies such as tanks, fighter planes, and aircraft carriers are at the core of any sovereign country. What is announced to the outside world is only superficial. Except for Uncle Sam, the number one arms dealer in the world, he likes to use war to sell weapons to the outside world and show off the performance parameters of his products everywhere. But this is just an example. At least domestic weapons and equipment are very well hidden.

But Li Fanyu at least knew that the Type 99 series tanks had been in service for a long time. It seems...it's time for a replacement.

But the tank engine...

I have never been exposed to this kind of thing!

Li Fanyu calmed down and said: "Mr. Lu, are you looking for me to ask us, Zhengxin, to help develop the fourth-generation tank engine?"

Lu Mingde nodded, "Yes. The Type 99 tank has been in service for more than ten years. In accordance with the General Staff's requirements for our army's main battle tanks to equip one generation, develop one generation, and pre-research one generation. We have completed it The research and development of the improved Type 99-G has now been put into use by the troops. Therefore, according to the requirements of the General Staff, the research and development of the fourth-generation main battle tank has become our top priority. , we started working on it five years ago.”

"So how is it going now?" Li Fanyu asked quickly.

The fourth generation tank is holding grass!

Every man has the worship of weapons in his heart, and as an out-and-out blue boy, Li Fanyu is no exception.

"The main parameters of the tank are actually simply those aspects. Firepower, protection, mobility and tactical requirements. Now, if anything... the fourth generation tank can be said to be nearly completed. But , I am sitting in front of you now, you know..."

"I understand." Li Fanyu nodded, "The engine problem has not been solved?"

Lu Mingde nodded, "As early as the 99G, we have improved and upgraded the 150BH engine. But the 150HB engine... Let's talk about family matters behind closed doors now. In fact, in a strict sense, Not our own engine.

Tank engines are not like engines in your automobile industry. If you cannot produce them yourself, you will completely rely on imports. We can do this in normal times, but if we have a conflict with a certain country, will they supply us during the war?

Obviously not possible, so the 150HB is actually improved by spending a lot of money to introduce a complete set of technologies for dual-purpose engines from Germany's MTU. But now that we have reached a very high level in the fields of firepower, protection, etc., we cannot, after so many years of development, still use other people's technology from more than ten years ago on our tanks, right?

And from another perspective, modern tanks are developing rapidly with the three goals of hitting farther, having stronger protection, and running faster. MTU’s technology from ten years ago has been replaced by ours. It has been squeezed out and cannot keep up with the times. ”

Li Fanyu scratched the back of his head and said, "Mr. Lu, do you want to leave this job to me?"

Lu Mingde nodded again, "I have this idea. You Zhengxin Automobile Application Technology is doing well, and I have been paying attention to it. But before, your ZGX engines were mainly gasoline engines, and I didn't think about it. But Recently, you have been working on diesel engines and this thing called Fuel Saver, which is essentially biodiesel. In my old man’s opinion, you want to make a career in the field of diesel vehicles, right? ?"

Li Fan smiled foolishly, the old man was right.

"That's why I gave you the idea. Since you can develop a V6 diesel engine like D4D, a tank engine with such a large displacement, I wonder if you have the ability and confidence to try it? Xiao Li, if you can do this job, it won’t be smaller than the order for the third-generation car.”

Lu Mingde specifically emphasized the key points of the third-generation car in his tone, which made Li Fanyu feel itchy.

The good old man is here to give himself a meal ticket.

But this meal ticket... is not easy to get!

Several diesel engines of Zhengxin were all exchanged in space. It’s not easy to make a tank engine all at once.

Diesel engines are different from gasoline engines. Otherwise... Mercedes-Benz wouldn't have created a special MTU to develop large-displacement diesel engines for large trucks and engineering vehicles.

Tank engines not only require high horsepower but also fast running speed. As an engine mounted on a heavy weapon, it needs to meet many requirements.

Give me a chestnut;

Due to tactical needs, tanks have multi-faceted mobility requirements. For example, if you are locked by an enemy missile or tank at a constant speed, you will need a large degree of sudden acceleration to get rid of it. This kind of mobility is not only reflected in driving, but even when the engine is completely turned off or stationary. This requires that the tank engine must have instantaneous explosive power.

This kind of explosive power should also be used when reversing;

The reason why tanks have become the king of land combat in modern warfare is mainly because they have powerful firepower, hard armor and mobility capabilities. It feels like a fortress loaded with artillery and able to move freely.

However, in war, you never know what will happen on the battlefield. Therefore, tanks also need to formulate specific parameter requirements based on tactics.

For example, when the battle is unfavorable and an emergency retreat is carried out, even the infantry must pay attention to an alternate cover retreat. The point of doing this is not to leave your fragile **** to the local eagle to act recklessly.

The same goes for tanks; when evacuating from the battlefield in an emergency, tanks do not just turn around and run away. Instead, they need to use their strongest frontal armor to meet local attacks and escape by reversing.

However, explosive power is only one aspect.

In order to ensure the travel of the tank, the engine must also be able to pull the armor and run fast while saving fuel as much as possible. In order to ensure that the tank maintains continuous mobility during continuous combat, the cooling of the engine while covered by armor is still a key point.

In order to ensure that the tank can come and go freely in various extreme battlefield environments, high and low temperatures, cold starts, etc. are all a big problem.

In a word, tank engines are much more demanding than car engines!

But Li Fanyu wanted to give it a try.

Joke, this opportunity almost fell from the sky.

With such a good opportunity in front of you, regardless of whether you can do it or not, it is always right to seize the pit first!
