Chapter 1822 The Problem of Tanks

For tanks, many people seem to have some kind of misunderstanding.

What's so difficult about building a tank when the two lips touch? To put it bluntly, isn't it just a car and a cannon on it? Very simple! Could there be any technical difficulties?

You can't help it if you insist, but it's really not that easy to get a car and put a cannon on it.

Let's talk about this power unit first. Wouldn't someone be so stupid that they thought that building an internal combustion engine was equivalent to building a tank?

The performance of the internal combustion engine is also divided into three, six, nine, and so on. Looking at the current military transport vehicles, even the armor plate does not dare to install a few more pieces, because when the materials are loaded on the vehicle, it is very likely that it will not be able to drive.

The output power of the engine is insufficient, can you drive a tank of thirty or forty tons?

At this time, some people are wondering, why can the battleship move?

Because the battleship is one or two hundred meters long, you can put a room-sized engine on it, but can a tank fit in it? Seriously, just the size of a battleship engine is no longer much smaller than a tank.

Now back to the topic, according to the current technology, it is obviously unrealistic to develop an engine that allows the tank to do whatever it wants.

And technical problems like this often cannot be solved in a short period of time. In this case, you can only choose to control the tonnage of the tank. The tanks of thirty or forty tons are not needed, and a light tank of ten or ten tons is built. Come out, head office?

Well, after making a choice and barely solving the power problem, let's look at the weapon system.

The main weapon of the tank, of course, is the long main gun.

But according to the tonnage of a light tank, if a 125-caliber main gun is installed on it, can its small body withstand it?

Don't toss yourself away as soon as you fire the gun.

Therefore, for the sake of insurance, and also considering the stability of a whole tank, it is best to control the caliber below 100.

Now let's talk about the protection system. The most direct one is the armor plate. The tank has to charge on the battlefield, and the soldiers behind it follow the tank, so the armor plate must be thick enough and the defense is strong!

But now the problem is coming, because the front power unit is not very powerful, if your armor plate is too much and too thick, it will be too heavy and it will not be able to drive.

In this way, in order to ensure mobility, you can only relatively reduce the thickness and number of armor, or shrink the turret, or even directly change to a relatively light weapon.

According to this rhythm, you will soon be able to build a tank that is good, balanced, and ugly, and it is not very good.

After that, when you send it to the battlefield, you will find that your tank with average mobility and insufficient armor and defense simply cannot show the combat effectiveness you expected.

In the end, I came to a conclusion that I was like a fool. I spent a lot of money on this low cost-effective thing. If you have the spare money, it is better to equip the army soldiers with two more grenades and a body armor. How about upgrading an upgraded rifle?

Yes, you have successfully built a tank, but we can achieve the same results in a cheaper and more cost-effective way.

This is also the main reason why at this stage, players do not have tanks and chariots. They are not stupid. Many problems have not been solved yet. Wouldn't it be better to wait until all the problems in all aspects are solved, and then do it all in one step?

This is what players are doing at this stage.

Of course, in addition to the above things, there are actually a lot of things to be done on the tank.

For example, artillery two-way stabilizers.

To put it bluntly, everyone should know that the battery on the tank will turn.

It is even possible to turn the main body of the chariot below to the left, and the tank turret to turn to the right.

The function of the artillery two-way stabilizer is to ensure that the artillery will not be affected by these factors during the movement and steering of the tank, so as to launch a stable shelling.

This thing is very important, because to a large extent, it determines the accuracy of the artillery fire of this tank.

It is no exaggeration to say that when judging whether a tank is strong or not, it is also a very important judgment factor to see whether its two-way stability is awesome.

After all, as long as the cannon fails to hit the target, it will be given in vain.

And the technology in this thing is also big.

Of course, you can also build fixed turrets, but then why do you build tanks? Everyone builds tanks because they value the mobility of the tank on the battlefield. At the same time, the rotation of the turret allows the flexibility to attack the enemy from all angles.

It's impossible to spend so much money just to get a front row meat shield, right?

If you are tense in the war, and it is too late to produce, you can make a compromise and build a fixed fort, but it is understandable, but it is too speechless to go to the fixed fort at the beginning.

In addition, there are communication devices. You must also install communication devices in your tank. Otherwise, you will be deaf and blind when you enter the battlefield.

And then the electrical equipment, which must also be required, otherwise, you have so many installations on your tank, how do you operate it?

At the same time, there are many more.

And if you want to install so many devices, equipment, and weapons in such a limited space, you have to test a design ability.

There is a saying that goes well, the expert sees the doorway, and the uninitiated sees the fun.

For a layman, looking at things like tanks and battleships, it seems that they all look the same, and you can't see a difference after looking at them for a long time.

However, some experts, but they can report an accurate model just by looking at it.

To give a simple example, take Yuan Xi as an example. Luo Ji is looking at the battleships himself, but he doesn't actually see much of it. But you just point to a fleet and ask Yuan Xi how the battleships are. I'll tell you a lot.

Yes, tanks have been around for a long time, but combined with various technical difficulties, in the history of the real world, tanks actually only really rose during World War II.

As for the tanks and chariots of the Tang and Song dwarves civilization, although Luo Ji did not see their performance with his own eyes, Kalgan had actually arrived at the sky with his troops at that time, so he saw some.

Just listening to Kalgan's report, Luo Ji knew that this dwarf tank chariot was simply black technology.

What are you kidding? At this stage, a 30 to 40-ton tank can run and fight. With good maneuverability, its defense is also quite amazing. It can even withstand the attack of the Hydra twice, which is not black enough. Tech?

After saying goodbye to Tang and Song for a while, Luo Ji took brisk steps and rushed all the way back to his tent for temporary rest. Then he quickly opened the system panel, and while sending a message to Ye Qingxuan, he directly sent the dwarf tank to the chariot. The Gold-level blueprints traded in the past.

Obviously, according to the situation on the front line, he won't be able to go back for a while, but this dwarf tank chariot, he must study it first, the sooner it is built, the better.

In this way, it is the most convenient way to directly trade to Ye Qingxuan and let Ye Qingxuan instruct this matter.

After finishing all these things, it was getting dark outside.

Luo Ji, who had simply eaten dinner, was already ready to go to sleep.

After all, the long-distance travel before, can not be completely recovered after a sleep, he is still quite tired now.

Until Wang Kai, the head guard next to him, reminded him...

"Your Majesty, Lieutenant Colonel Gert is still holding that Pompeii Rand and waiting under the sea."

Hearing this, Luo Ji slapped his forehead, "Okay, once there were too many things, he accidentally forgot about Gert.

"Wang Kai, go and confirm whether the other forces have left the port outside. After confirming, find a hidden location and ask Gert to capture that Pompeii Rand. Be careful, hide yourself. Try not to be discovered."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
