Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

The more Li Qinwu thought about it, the more excited he became. The money printing machine must be started immediately, otherwise he felt that he was losing money every second!

The approach device is relatively easy to make, and he already has a simple design in his mind. However, he has an even simpler way, which is to go directly to No. 0. No. 0's tentacle-like robotic arm is perfect for this task.

Li Qinwu found No. 0 in a large factory building. There were metal scraps everywhere in the factory building. In the center of the metal scraps was a tank chassis that looked particularly huge.

In order to maximize the combat effectiveness of the Leman Russ engine, Li Qinwu asked No. 0 to build this super battle fortress. Now the chassis of the battle fortress is almost completed, and its ferocious aura has been revealed.

Li Qinwu was amazed. This giant was over 20 meters long and 10 meters wide. As for its height, Li Qinwu couldn't reach the top even if he stretched out his hand and jumped high. It was about the same size as two parallel heavy trucks.

In order to bear the weight of this behemoth, this thing has 8 huge tracks! Two on the left front, two on the right front, two on the left rear, and two on the right rear. Each track adopts a staggered road wheel design to maximize the load-bearing capacity.

The staggered road wheels here are not the version that caused logistics problems on the early Tiger tanks, but an improved version adopted on the later Panther tanks.

Staggered road wheels are said to have strong gravity, and almost all German heavy tanks use them. However, they are staggered, with wheels stacked on top of each other. If the outer layer is broken, it is not difficult to repair it directly. But if the inner wheel is damaged, it will be a real pain for the crew to repair it. They need to disassemble the entire outer track before they can reach the inner part.

Later Leopard tanks were improved with staggered road wheels. During maintenance, there was no need to remove all the outer road wheels. Instead, only the two outer road wheels needed to be removed to expose the covered inner one. This reduced the logistical pressure a lot.

Li Qinwu stood in front of the huge car body, and was so dazed for a moment that he even forgot why he came to look for No. 0.

At this time, No. 0 was lying in front of a large piece of steel. The blade of its robotic arm was rotating rapidly. After a while, a part was completely cut out.

It transferred the parts to the body of the vehicle, the main body of No. 0, and the mechanical arm from Warhammer 40K was aimed at the gap between the body and the parts. A red light flashed, a laser shot out, and the gap was welded firmly.

Since Li Qinwu was unable to provide high-performance steel, the design of No. 0 was quite tricky, choosing cutting parts.

After the molten steel flows out of the steel furnace, it is made into metal sheets and then forged by a forging press. During this process, the metal sheets will be pressed very tightly and the quality of the parts cut from them will be better, barely meeting the requirements of No. 0 to manufacture the super fortress.

However, as we all know, the cost of cutting things is very high. Look at the metal waste around you, they are all left over from cutting and can only be recycled.

Fortunately, the Julong Steel Plant mines high-quality open-pit ore, so this cost is nothing.

After Zero installed a part, he turned around and saw Li Qinwu standing on the side. It was like a mechanical octopus, swinging dozens of huge mechanical legs to come to Li Qinwu.

"Master, are you here to inspect the progress?"

"Ah? Oh, how's the progress of this car? When will it be finished?"

"Master, please give me three months. I will finish the hull. The work after that will be easy. Just add the firepower turret you need."

Li Qinwu licked his lips, looking at this war fortress with great enthusiasm. He couldn't wait to see it entering the battlefield and killing everyone.

"Number 0, can this big guy really survive on the battlefield? Will it collapse under its own weight?"

At that time, No. 0 said that this thing could weigh more than 600 tons. Li Qinwu was really worried that it would crush him with such a big thing.

"Master, please rest assured. My design has been carefully calculated. A lot of redundant weight has been piled on reliability. The load-bearing main beam of the vehicle body is still the large gun steel you provided me. The strength of the gun steel is more than enough to carry a giant tank."

Li Qinwu nodded. The 240mm gun barrel that he had pulled out from the Fengtian Arsenal came in handy.

"Master, you must believe in the performance of No. 2 Ceramic Steel. The larger the area of ​​No. 2 Ceramic Steel is used, the more obvious its weight and defensive advantages will be. The burden on this tank's armor will be very small.

Moreover, the Leman Russ tank engine is not large, and the engine compartment is small, so the burden is even smaller. "

The P1000 Giant Rat, a land battleship that only existed on paper in history, used a submarine engine that could output hp. But how big was this engine? It took up the entire tank body, and how much horsepower was wasted due to the engine's own weight.

In comparison, the Leman Russ tank engine is about the size of a chopped pepper fish head and weighs less than 3 tons. The ratio of its weight to power output is amazing.

Li Qinwu expressed his approval of No. 0's work, and then he remembered that he had other important things to do here.

He took out the Desert Eagle that could fire unlimited rounds and told No. 0 about the characteristics of the gun and that he needed a device to quickly pull the slide.

After No. 0 understood Li Qinwu's needs, he extended a huge mechanical arm to clamp the handle of the Desert Eagle and fixed it, then extended two smaller mechanical arms to grab the left and right sides of the pistol slide, and then quickly pulled it left and right.

The mechanical arm pulled very fast, so fast that Li Qinwu couldn't see clearly. He could only see a large number of yellow bullets spraying out and falling to the ground with a bang.

No. 0 quickly stopped and said to Li Qinwu: "Master, I can remove these three mechanical arms and build a device. You only need to connect it to a generator to power it.

It is estimated that this machine can pull the sleeve 20 times per second. If you allow me, please give me a day to debug the machine. "

Li Qinwu was quite satisfied and let No. 0 go ahead and do it. No. 0 finished the machine that night and Li Qinwu immediately sent someone to install it.

He asked his clones to build a factory specifically for the Desert Eagle, and installed the Desert Eagle and the machines on a high platform. Under the platform was a tall cylindrical barrel with a funnel under the barrel. When the barrel was filled with a certain number of bullets, someone could be sent to transport the bullets away from below with a trailer.

Li Qinwu asked the Julong Steel Plant to recruit workers. He needed people to manually disassemble the warheads, primers and propellants. This job was delicate, and now there was no production capacity to build special disassembly machines, so he could only use manpower. This could also be considered as creating more jobs for the people living near Chongqing.

After arranging the production of bullets, Li Qinwu entered the drawing room again. Next, he would design automatic rifles and general-purpose machine guns.
