Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

About ten clones were tinkering around with two tanks. These two tanks were previously destroyed by the special forces with sniper guns. The internal structure was almost undamaged, but there were holes in the armor, and the inside was full of minced meat, which needed to be thoroughly cleaned.

The clone of the repair shop used a crane to remove all the tank armor, and now the internal structure of the tank is completely exposed.

The person in charge of the repair shop was a younger brother who used to pretend to be a gangster with Li Xiaojia. After arriving at Hutoushan, Li Qinwu said that he wanted to set up a small repair shop. This guy took the initiative to stand up and say that he was interested in mechanics, and changed his name to Li Jiba on the spot, and asked people to call him Big Jiba from then on.

When the big machine tyrant saw Li Qinwu coming, he wiped his oily hands on his blue work clothes, walked up to him with a smile and said, "Boss, you see, we have already stripped the clothes of these two girls, and we plan to replace them with the latest ceramic steel armor!"

He pointed at the car shell on the ground. Just by looking at the appearance of the car shell, it was obvious that it could fit onto the frame of a Type 89 tank. Moreover, compared to the riveted armor of the Type 89 tank, this one-piece cast ceramic steel armor structure was much stronger.

Li Qinwu went up and used his fingers to measure the thickness of the armor and asked, "Our ceramic steel is lighter than ordinary steel and has better defense than ordinary steel. Have you made any improvements? The armor of the Japanese tanks is too thin. Equipping our brothers with such tanks is irresponsible for their lives."

The big machine tyrant nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, I have made a lot of improvements. First of all, the hull armor, the front armor is thickened to 30mm, tilted 45 degrees, I estimate that the defense can reach the best armor on the market now 60mm defense capability.

I have tested it. The front of this thickness is completely immune to 37mm sniper guns. If it is fired by Type 900 mountain gun with armor-piercing shells, it is completely immune beyond 800 meters, has a chance of ricocheting between 600 and 550 meters, and can only be guaranteed to penetrate within meters.

The side armor is only 20cm, immune to 400mm sniper guns at 37 meters, and the rear armor is 10mm, completely immune to all the heavy machine guns currently in service with the Japanese. "

Li Qinwu was amazed.

"It can withstand 75mm field artillery armor-piercing shells from the front. Wow, it seems that no tank in this era can do this? Our weapons are completely ahead of their time!"

The big machine tyrant nodded and said, "Yes, for the current Japanese, this thing is a top-level existence. Their individual weapons are not capable of destroying it. Even if they bring out a big thing like a mountain cannon, we have legs and can retreat out of the threat range.

Moreover, with the defense increased to this extent, the tank not only did not increase in weight, but it reduced its weight by more than 1 ton. Ceramic steel is really fucking awesome. It's just a pity that it is not wear-resistant. Otherwise, if all the parts of the car were made of ceramic cylinders, I'm afraid it would be possible to make a medium tank with the size of a jeep!"

Li Qinwu gently stroked the ceramic steel car body with his hand. The texture of the ceramic steel was very smooth, probably because it had been polished. There were no bubbles on the surface. It looked very solid and was gray-black in color.

The plasticity of No. 2 ceramic jar is very good. It can be put into a mold before solidification to form various shapes. Like the large car shells in front of us, we only need to use wooden boards to make the mold shape in advance, and then pour the ceramic steel semi-finished product into it. After solidification, remove the mold to get the finished product.

However, there is a disadvantage to using wood as a mold. It is easy to burr, the mold is not durable, and the product needs to be polished after it is made. This can be solved by using steel molds, or using ceramic steel to make molds.

Li Qinwu saw two huge round turrets next to the car body. He pointed at the two turrets that looked like T34 tanks and asked, "Are these new turrets you made? Can they be installed on the car?"

The big machine tyrant nodded and said, "That's right, the turrets made by the Japanese are too flimsy. Previously, when we ambushed a Japanese train, the tanks fell off the trailer. The turret of one of them was completely disintegrated by the smash, and the riveted armor plates were flying everywhere. This is not acceptable.

We simply dismantled the Japanese's artillery and optical aiming equipment and cast an oval turret in one piece. Anyway, the Japanese's turret has no blue paint and no electromechanical drive system. It is all turned by manpower, so the technical difficulty is not high.

Boss, you see, the ovoid turret has a very high bounce rate. Unless the enemy's armor-piercing shells are fired at a very tricky angle, it will be completely useless. The turret is 35mm thick in all directions, and it is the strongest part of the entire tank!"

Li Qinwu nodded. Indeed, this egg-shaped turret could easily deflect the enemy's armor-piercing shells, and it was almost impossible to destroy the tank through the turret.

Seeing that the gun barrel had not yet been installed on the turret, Li Qinwu asked in confusion: "Why haven't you installed the gun yet? Hurry up and get it ready and take it out for a test drive?"

The big machine tyrant waved his hand and said: "The Japanese Type 89 tank is equipped with a short-barreled 57mm gun. This gun is powerful enough, but the barrel is too short and the range is not good. Our tanks cannot be equipped with such guns. We must have long-barreled guns.

The Japs are an industrialized country that has the ability to manufacture tanks on its own. Our tanks must have anti-tank capabilities, right? "

Li Qinwu nodded and then shook his head.

"You're right, but we can only count the number of artillery pieces in our Punishment Army on one hand. How can we find you a long-barreled artillery piece?"

The big tyrant rubbed the oil off his hands and showed a smirk on his face.

"Boss, don't we have the Type 41 mountain cannon? That thing is a long-barreled cannon. Why don't we use this thing..."

Li Qinwu's expression suddenly became horrified.

"Fuck! If you put such a big gun on such a small tank, I'm afraid the small tank will flip over if it fires one shot. No, no!"

"Boss, I think it's possible! Let's give it a try. What if it really works? If it works, our tanks will be invincible in this era!"

"What are you thinking about? I don't have the power of thinking here to enchant you. The enemy tanks are so big that they will fall apart if they are fired at. No, no!"

The big machine boss shouted for a long time, but Li Qinwu did not agree, and warned him to quickly install the 57mm short-barreled gun back and not to think about the 75mm mountain gun. Damn, if he fired a shot, the gun barrel might slip back into the turret and kill the gunner.

Seeing that he couldn't convince Li Qinwu no matter what, Da Jiba could only scratch his head and said, "Okay, let's not install the 75mm cannon. Then come here, boss, I'll show you a new thing."

Li Qinwu was curious about what he was going to show him. The big machine master pulled out a wooden box from under the tool bench and took out a rifle wrapped in oil paper from the box.

Li Qinwu took the rifle and tore off the oil paper. Isn't this just an ordinary Type 38 rifle? It should be a gun made from spare parts in the repair shop. However, this gun is different from the other guns. The barrel is gray and black.

"Fuck! You use No. 2 ceramic steel for the barrel?"
