Rebirth of the Flying Era

After starting, the next step is some simple actions.

The tank slowly and rattlingly drove down the production line, drove directly outside the factory, and then turned the turret... carefully, as if it was not a tank, but a piece of porcelain, for fear of being damaged.

It wasn't until half an hour later that there seemed to be no problem, and the tank crew inside began to let go.

Drive the tank to the backyard of the tractor factory.

There is a relatively large open space here, and some of the tractors that were originally manufactured will be parked here.

Because there aren't that many orders, this space is free, just in time for the tanks to run in.

Now, unlike a few decades later, CNC machine tools have high machining accuracy and almost no running-in of mechanical parts is required.

At this time, newly manufactured machinery, regardless of whether it is Japanese or independent, has a running-in period.

After the running-in period, you can use it happily.

Therefore, regardless of whether it is a tank or a car, a brand new one is not as easy to drive as one that is 80% new.

At this time, the tank was circling in the open space at a speed of less than twenty yards.

Time passed by, and the large-displacement diesel engine was running, emitting black smoke with a special smell.

The steel behemoth weighing more than thirty tons ran over the ground, leaving deep track marks.

Half an hour passed, and there was no mechanical failure in the tank.

This made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.

Especially Yang Tong, who is specifically in charge of the engine, has not broken down so far, so there should be no problems with the power and transmission system.

Yang Tong took the first two steps and said, "Manager, Worker Sun, I think we can speed up a bit and go to third gear to maintain thirty yards."

Sun Qiwen looked at Du Fei.

Du Fei said: "You make the decision on technical issues."

Sun Qiwen nodded, picked up the radio at hand, and gave orders to the tank.

Soon, the tank circling in circles speeded up significantly.

The maximum speed of the original T62 tank is only 50 kilometers/hour.

Now this prototype car is no longer considered slow when it reaches over 30 years old.

After all, this prototype car still uses the old transmission system derived from the T54, so it cannot fully utilize the performance of the new engine.

But when the top speed reaches more than 40 kilometers, it should be about the same.

In addition, what must be tested is the imitation 115mm tank gun.

The demonstration of the tank in a few days will be nothing more than driving the tank, going across the country, having fun, and then firing a few shots at the target.

The most intuitive impression is whether the player is running fast or not, and whether the shot is accurate or not.

Unfortunately, there was only one prototype, and the tractor factory had no place to test the cannon.

We can only wait until tomorrow to bring the tank to the testing ground in the suburbs.

Twenty minutes later, Sun Qiwen asked the tanker to briefly increase the speed to 45 kilometers per hour.

It was a test of the ultimate speed.

Immediately after stopping, Li Geng rushed forward with a large group of technicians and began to collect data and check mechanical wear...

Du Fei stood aside and waited silently.

If it was an exam just now, now it’s time to hand in papers and get grades.

After working for half an hour, Li Geng finally came back with a piece of report paper, sweating profusely.

There was oil on his face, but he said with a cheerful face: "Manager! Dear leaders, after inspection, the power and transmission system are working normally, and no abnormal wear and tear was found..."

Hearing this, everyone smiled.

Du Fei also praised it.

The next step is to pull the tank to the countryside, and the next target test will have to be conducted tomorrow at the earliest.

If all goes well, Du Fei plans to officially display it to the public in three days.

Back at the factory director's office, everyone was in a good mood.

In the past few months, several factories, from top to bottom, have been working on this tank, not to mention forgetting to eat and sleep.

Now finally victory is in sight.

However, as happy as it is, follow-up work still needs to be done.

After all, a prototype car is a prototype car, and it is put on the shelves to show those who take advantage of it.

But when it comes to really selling things, Du Fei knows he can't do it half-heartedly.

Because he is not a good person and does not have the endorsement of strong political influence.

If you want to continue doing business for a long time, you must talk about product quality.

In the future, the copycat version of the T62 tank will be Du Fei's flagship product.

In Du Fei's view, it can run less fast or hit less accurately, but it must be durable and reliable in performance.

And we can't be as arrogant as Su Ge. The tanks sold are not only crazy and simple, but also do not consider the customer's usage environment.

For example, those sold to Li Yuanchao and the Huang family must take into account the combat environment of the tropical jungle, while those sold to Ka Dazuo must adapt to the desert environment. You can also ask him to increase the price for air conditioning. This thing is not high-tech. As long as the money is available, it can be solved. .

Du Fei talked a lot, leaving everyone present stunned.

Even though Sun Qiwen claimed to be the best tank expert in the country, he couldn't help but nod his head.

The next day, tank guns were tested at a field in the countryside.

Du Fei was still present in person.

A total of twenty rounds were fired during the entire test, and the results could only be considered satisfactory.

At least not one of the twenty rounds missed the target.

But taken together, the new sighting system and tank gun are still not fully compatible.

The ability to achieve such results is largely due to the excellent gunners.

In order to show his best condition, Du Fei specially borrowed the strongest tank crew this time.

From the driver to the commander, gunner, and loader, they are all elites who stand out from hundreds of thousands of people.

If he were an average tanker, Du Fei would estimate that at least one-third of his shots would miss the target.

However, this result is not unacceptable. After all, it is the first prototype car, so it is normal to have problems.

However, Tan Zhigao's tank gun exceeded Du Fei's expectations.

Probably because the blue-light upgraded gun steel has superior performance, coupled with a 115mm tungsten steel armor-piercing projectile, it can directly penetrate 300mm of homogeneous steel plate armor at a distance of one thousand meters.

This performance is close to the power of the original T62 smoothbore gun.

At a distance of one thousand meters, it can theoretically destroy any tank today.

This result made Du Fei very satisfied.

At least this imitation tank gun has no flaws in its technical specifications.

Next, you only need to adjust the sight and fire control system.

With this result, Du Fei's heart finally dropped.

But there are some things, don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the eventuality.

Although after two days of testing, there were no problems with this tank prototype built by rushing the ducks, but it was difficult to guarantee that the chain would not fall off at the critical moment.

Dufy would not allow that to happen.

After the test was simply completed, the tank drove back to the warehouse and sent the others away.

Crows were arranged around the area to make sure no one could see it. Suddenly, with a thought, the tank suddenly disappeared.

In the portable space, a blue light instantly enveloped the earth tank.

Du Fei had no intention of significantly strengthening this tank, that would make no sense at all.

He has only one purpose, which is to ensure that nothing goes wrong. The tank cannot lie down when crossing obstacles and cannot jam when firing live ammunition.

Half an hour later, Du Fei came out of the warehouse.

Wave to the two people in the distance.

The two men were from the security department of the tractor factory. They stayed to watch the tanks and were dismissed by Du Fei just now.

These two people behaved themselves. There were crows watching nearby, and they didn't move where they were just now.

Du Fei came out and each of them stuffed a box of Peony cigarettes, told them to keep an eye on them, and then left.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the unit, he received another call from Lin Tiansheng.

Last time, the two of them almost got into trouble because of the tank.

Lin Tiansheng has not been in the capital since then, and he doesn't know where he went.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Lin Tiansheng got straight to the point: "Lao Du, I heard that you really made a replica T62 tank!"

Du Fei laughed and said: "Brother Lin, you don't know that I can't meet the targets in the plan, so I can only make my own mistakes. I don't want to take advantage of the autumn festival and hurry up. Let’s get the tanks out and see if we can sell a few.”

It's no secret that Du Fei has been testing the tank's performance over the past two days. You can get the general idea by asking around a bit.

Otherwise, Lin Tiansheng would not have called specifically.

"Lao Du, you can't be too modest." Lin Tiansheng was in a good mood and said with a smile: "I heard just now that it can easily penetrate 300 mm armor at a distance of one thousand meters, which is much stronger than the Type 59's 105 gun."

Du Fei understood what he meant and had never thought about cherishing his broom.

However, some situations must be explained clearly to avoid misunderstandings.

Du Fei sighed and said, "Hey, it hurts me to say this."

Lin Tiansheng on the other side of the phone was obviously stunned.

Du Fei continued: "In order to imitate the 115 smoothbore cannon, I searched all over the country, but could not find qualified gun steel. In the end, I had no choice. Through the relationship in Xiangjiang, I made a batch on the international black market, which was barely enough to make two hundred A gun barrel."

"Is there still this matter?" Lin Tiansheng didn't know this detail beforehand.

Du Fei complained: "No, the price is five times higher than normal! By the way, Brother Lin, you are so proud. Let's see if you can ask Fusteel or Ansteel to set up a technical research team to solve our gun steel problem." question?"

Lin Tiansheng was speechless.

In fact, when he heard about the results of the tank gun test today, he was a little worried.

No matter what kind of tanks Du Fei builds, at least this imitation of the 2a-20 tank gun on the T62 is definitely not bad.

Unexpectedly, Du Fei blocked his words first.

However, Lin Tiansheng had no selfish motives and promised: "This is not a problem. You can get some remaining gun steel scraps later and I will deliver them to you personally..."

The two of them talked about gun steel by the way.

In fact, Du Fei had not considered giving the upgraded gun steel to the steel factory to see if it could be copied.

It’s just that Beijing Steel Plant is not good at this.

As for Angang and Fusteel, Du Fei couldn't stretch his hand too far.

He is the son-in-law of the Zhu family, so he must be concerned about certain things to avoid misunderstandings.

Now it is much more convenient to have Lin Tiansheng come forward.

As for whether it can be reversed, Du Fei has no idea about the technical difficulty, so he can only say that he must do his best and let fate.

After saying this, Lin Tiansheng said again: "By the way, I will take a few people to have a look the day after tomorrow, no problem~"

Du Feihun didn't care, since there were a lot of people coming the day after tomorrow, so one more person wouldn't be much.
