1959: Carrying the achievement system, she rolled

Chapter 487 Planning for the Future

The fourth brother and his team stayed in the research institute for three days and then went back. Before leaving, they took away an amphibious all-terrain armored personnel carrier, and two technicians from their research institute also went with them.

The terrain of the Kunming Military Region is relatively complex. No one can say for sure whether this armored vehicle can survive there as it has not yet been field tested.

Of course, she also wanted to do Commander Qin a favor. Not only did she want to give the fourth brother a push, but she also wanted to lay the foundation for her own future.

She wanted to move up, but she couldn't go far alone, so she needed connections.

At the same time, they were pulling a truck full of things. This time, Du Yimeng did not attack the big fat pig because the distance was a bit far and she was afraid that the pig would die on the way.

However, they took away a truckload of canned food and the things she had prepared for the fourth child's wedding.

These cans were obtained by exchanging refrigeration equipment with food factories. The current Director Liu is no longer the Director Liu who used to fleece people everywhere.

Strictly speaking, he is now a diplomat of the institute.

He took all kinds of equipment and went out to exchange for food and daily necessities. He used to live on the advice of his old comrades, but now everyone came to curry his favor.

Hoo hoo... He is tired but happy!

As for whether doing so would violate regulations?

It’s not a problem at all. The spirit of the above is to do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.

Du Yimeng also considered that someone would make a fuss about this matter, so she had previously specifically sought out Director Wei to explain the situation, to prevent someone from jumping out and secretly tripping her up.

When she learned from Director Wei that many of the higher-ups donated their salaries, including Director Wei himself, she became even more unscrupulous.

She used her own salary to manufacture equipment, and then gave the supplies in exchange to the border troops who were in poor conditions.

She didn't put a penny into her own pocket, how could this be considered speculation?

……

As for the two tanks sent by the Kunming Military Region, as expected, they were still attacked by all the scientific researchers and eventually torn to pieces.

The person taking the lead was Du Yimeng. At that moment, Director Hao felt that he was alone.

The first thing everyone dismantled was the M26 Pershing tank, whose advantages mainly include powerful firepower, excellent defense capabilities and good mobility.

However, compared to other countries' excellent tanks, it has fallen behind. It once made great achievements on the battlefield, but was eventually eliminated by the times and became an old guy.

Of course, although the design concept and technology of the M26 Pershing tank were only used for a limited time in World War II, its design features were preserved and also promoted the development of heavy tanks in the United States.

For example, the later M46, M47, M48, etc., all inherited and improved.

"Have you seen this turret? Compared to the turret on our tanks, soldiers need to lean out when operating the machine gun. But their turret can provide better armor protection when operating the roof-mounted machine gun." Du Yimeng pointed to the turret of the M48A3 Patton tank and introduced it to everyone.

Every country's tanks have their own advantages. Even though their Type 68 tank has become the most advanced tank in the world, it still has its shortcomings.

Everyone looked at the tank in front of them and fell into deep thought. In order to make the tank more maneuverable, they had been reducing its weight.

The tanks of the United States are just the opposite. They are a whole circle larger than their tanks.

Don’t they know that the weight of the tank will affect its maneuverability?

This is a problem that everyone who studies tanks knows, and it is impossible for researchers in the United States not to know it. So there is only one conclusion, that is, large tanks also have their advantages.

"The space inside the turret is very large, so the elevation angle of the tank's main gun will become larger. Our tanks are relatively low, so sometimes the elevation angle will be very low. In this way, when fighting in some complex terrains, such as shooting down from the top of a hill, there will be blind spots." Du Yimeng said.

"As the saying goes, you can see far only when you stand high, but this tank does not have this problem. It seems that the tall body can provide more space for the artillery to move up and down inside the body." Du Yimeng continued.

It has been proven that this tank has a greater firing range and adaptability when fighting on mountainous terrain, and is more suitable for utilizing the terrain to improve its concealment.

"President Du, do you mean that we should copy the turret of this tank?" Engineer Liu asked. The reason why he only said to copy the turret was because in his opinion, there was really nothing worth mentioning about the other parts.

The caliber was so small that he had to squint his eyes for a long time before he found it.

M48A3 Patton Tank: Are You Polite?

"I have this plan. Our tanks have blind spots in their field of vision. If we fight in the mountains, this will be the biggest fatal flaw, so it must be improved," said Du Yimeng.

They had previously researched tanks to be shorter, partly because of national strength issues and partly to improve the tanks' survivability on the battlefield.

But now she finds that their tanks are no match for others in mountain warfare, so they need to improve. Survival of the fittest is an eternal truth.

"Comrade Du, when are we going to start making improvements?" Wan Ping asked anxiously. He couldn't wait any longer. He loved working; work made him happy.

The others also looked at Du Yimeng with anticipation. In their minds, as long as their tanks had even the slightest flaw, they would want to improve it.

Until it becomes the most perfect cub in the tank!

"We still need to wait for this. After all, our research project still needs approval from above, and the report still needs to be written." Du Yimeng explained with a smile.

After these words were spoken, everyone nodded silently. It seemed that the matter was settled.

Ever since they knew that Director Song was the deputy director of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, they no longer worried that their research projects would be blocked by their superiors.

Director Song: There are endless reports to write every day, and he feels both pain and joy!

"This tank is not only the turret, but also its hydraulic shock absorber. Have you noticed that the first, second, and sixth road wheels here all have a hydraulic shock absorber." Du Yimeng pointed to several places and introduced them to everyone.

"With the hydraulic shock absorbers and rubber tracks, it can ensure that the crew inside feel comfortable and avoid fatigue, thus maintaining combat effectiveness when driving for a long time or on complex terrain," said Du Yimeng.

In her opinion, no matter how advanced the weapons are, people must be put first.

If the vehicle is bumpy for a long time and the crew members are exhausted, no matter how advanced their tanks are, it will be in vain if the crew members have no combat effectiveness.

Everyone nodded in agreement. The weapons and equipment they developed were to serve humans, and their roles could not be reversed.
