Rebirth of the Flying Era

In an instant, everyone present looked at Du Fei.

Du Fei took the microphone calmly and said with a smile: "Comrades and friends, hello everyone, you are welcome to take the time to come, I won't say any more nonsense, let's get started directly."

Du Fei knew what these people were here for, and saying useless things was meaningless except wasting time.

It’s better to go straight to the dry stuff.

As the words fell, the door of the nearby warehouse where the tanks were parked slowly opened.

Following a burst of "clack-clack" movement, a huge car with only yellow anti-rust primer slowly drove out from inside.

Without exception, everyone focused their attention, some were surprised, some were calm, and some were suspicious...

At the next moment, Firefighter No. 1, which was traveling slowly, suddenly accelerated.

In the blink of an eye, the speed soared to the limit, reaching 45 kilometers/hour.

The roar of the high-power diesel engine echoed around, and thick black smoke poured out from the exhaust hole on the side, like a roaring giant beast.

This was specially arranged by Du Fei. Through the simple enhancement of the portable space, many flaws of this tank were made up. Even if it was racing like this, there was no fear of mechanical failure.

This desperate attempt not only brought a visual impact to the people present, but also made them subconsciously think that Du Fei had absolute confidence in this tank.

Otherwise, it is impossible to allow the driver to act like this.

In the blink of an eye, Fire No. 1 had run around the test site. Although the speed dropped slightly later, it was still maintained at more than 40 kilometers.

Then came the second lap.

This lap is no longer on flat ground, but on an off-road course.

The test site is equipped with trenches, craters, and roadblocks to simulate a field battlefield.

Entering the off-road section, the speed of Firefighter No. 1 dropped significantly and was controlled at 25 km/h.

This speed is not fast, but it is definitely not slow either.

Suge's original T62 tank has an off-road speed of only about 25 kilometers.

In actual combat, the speed of infantry and tanks will be even lower.

At this point, many people have been shocked.

In fact, most of the people who came here today, no matter what they say on the surface, are disapproving in their hearts.

Just based on the technical level of flower cultivation, the T62 tank was copied in less than a year, let alone the Type 59 with a new shell~

But laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the door.

Without too much introduction, just by running these two laps, you can see that the power system of this tank is one level better than the Type 59 tank and Sugo's T54.

Come to think of it, this is not a simple shell replacement of the Type 59 tank.

Especially those who came with Lin Tiansheng, their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.

They are either experts in the industry or chief officers of the armored forces, and they know the level of domestic tanks very well.

In the past few years, the Type 59 tank, which was improved by thoroughly understanding the T54, has been struggling for more than ten years. It is only in the past few years that it has become mature.

But weak power has always been a problem for the Type 59 tank.

How does this tank do it now?

Carrying a turret that is obviously larger than the Type 59 tank, it can actually hit nearly 50 kilometers per hour. What a concept!

One of them immediately called out "Director Lin"...

However, Lin Tiansheng waved his hand, indicating that he should stop talking.

Lin Tiansheng was an expert himself, so he could certainly tell the difference, with a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes.

Originally, he came today partly because he wanted to see the excitement.

Although he knew that Du Fei was not a talkative person, he still didn't believe that he had copied Sugo's T62 tank in just over half a year.

Now it seems that no matter how other performance is, at least this vehicle platform must be fine.

If the Type 59 had this power, its maneuverability would be greatly improved.

Meanwhile, others began to whisper.

The happiest person is Vincent.

Recently, their family has been severely squeezed in Yingguo, and now they can only stay in Xiangjiang.

If Du Fei really brings out a tank here, it will undoubtedly be a shot in the arm for him.

As an ideal arms dealer, firearms are only the lowest level, and mortars and rocket launchers are of limited quality.

Being able to get tanks and armored vehicles is the real prestige, and you are treated like a VIP in any country in Africa.

As for higher-end ones, such as fighter jets and missiles, they can’t afford them, so they don’t need to consider them.

Bush next to Vincent looked a little complicated.

He served as a naval aviation pilot during the Pacific War.

And I learned something about t62 before coming here.

He was also very surprised that flowers could be imitated so quickly.

Just at this moment, Firefighter No. 1 finished the cross-country section, braked and stopped at the gun emplacement, preparing to fire live ammunition.

The next moment, there was a bang!

The tank body shook violently, and a ball of fire erupted from the muzzle.

At the same time, a bright line passed across and hit the target one thousand meters away steadily.

The artillery shells use tracer bullets. Although it is daytime, the effect is not as obvious as the dark sky, but it can still show the approximate trajectory of the artillery shells.

Just now, everyone had already picked up the telescopes in their hands.

Watching the artillery shell hit the target steadily, a large hole was drilled into the 200 mm thick steel target.

Then came the second shot.

After two consecutive shots, the tank moved to another gun position and continued shooting...

"Boom~boom~boom..."

Continuously fire the guns, move the gun positions, adjust the elements, and fire again.

He fired more than twenty rounds in one go, and all of them hit the target.

This completely calmed everyone down.

The most important things for a tank are mobility and firepower.

Now it seems that Du Fei’s ‘Firefighter No. 1’ is online in both categories, and it’s quite good.

This has laid the foundation for a good tank.

After a while, the shooting ended and the tanks stopped here.

A crowd of people immediately gathered around, looking here and there.

Several people also asked to see the steel targets used for shooting.

Du Fei had already expected it, arranged for Li Geng to explain in advance, and even prepared bicycles in advance.

If you want to see the steel target, you can go there by bicycle. After all, walking back and forth on one kilometer is not a short distance.

At the same time, several technicians began to check the condition of the tank after intense use.

Among the four people who came with Lin Tiansheng, there was a middle-aged man wearing glasses who looked a little surprised.

After saying hello to Lin Tiansheng, he immediately walked quickly and called out: "Old Sun, is that you?"

Just now, Sun Qiwen had been leading people in the warehouse to perform final inspections on the tank.

Only then came out and continued collecting data.

When someone stopped me, I turned around and said 'Hey': "Old Li! Why are you here?"

Lao Li took a few steps forward and said, "Old Sun, it's really you! I didn't expect... we would have a chance to meet again."

Sun Qiwen had a complicated expression, and sighed with a wry smile: "Yeah~ I didn't expect it either."

Lao Li said: "You are here now? Did you build this tank?"

Sun Qiwen was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Logically speaking, he is the chief designer and chief engineer.

But the problem is that he was not able to solve several key technical problems on the tank.

This is more embarrassing.

Sun Qiwen was not someone who used other people's achievements to put money in his own face, so he hesitated and said nothing.

Lao Li thought he had something to hide, but he didn't ask further.

Regarding the tank, neither of them mentioned a word.

After all, there are a lot of people talking here.

The two said hello and chatted briefly, and then Lao Li went back and said to Lin Tiansheng: "Director Lin, the man just now is called Sun Qiwen. He used to be the top tank expert in our country, but it's a pity... "

Lin Tiansheng frowned, and he could guess what was going on.

Lao Li continued: "However, even for him, in such a short time, it is too... too..."

Lao Li said "too" twice, but still didn't know how to describe it.

Sun Qiwen's level is good, but he is not a god.

At least the power system and the tank smoothbore gun are basically unsolvable in China.

After thinking about it, he could only marvel.

On the contrary, Lin Tiansheng, after listening to Lao Li's narration, set his sights on Du Fei.

He believed in Lao Li's judgment in the technical field.

Since Sun Qiwen couldn't solve these problems, and now the results are here, who solved them?

At this time, Hasim, who represented Ka Dazuo, came to Du Fei talking and laughing.

"Du, congratulations, your industrial capabilities impress me with admiration!" Hasim said without hesitation: "This tank of yours is no less than Sugo's T62 tank."

This is not a time for modesty.

Du Fei did his part and acknowledged his compliment in person.

He also added: "Of course, my friend, not only is the performance not bad, our price is also much cheaper."

As for how much it is cheaper, we definitely cannot say it in public. We must discuss it privately with each family afterwards.

Hashem understood and agreed to visit again tomorrow morning.

Du Fei could feel Hasim's fiery eyes.

He tasted the sweetness last time and knew that Du Fei was a sensible person.

Moreover, Ka Dazuo personally tested the rocket launcher he bought and was full of praise for it.

After two visits, I was very impressed with the equipment provided by Du Fei.

This time, if we can negotiate an order to purchase tanks, it will be based on the current tank market.

The purchase price of Midea's M60 is about 700,000 US dollars, while Sugo's T62 is cheaper and is also available for 500,000 US dollars.

This is still their domestic price. If it is exported, the price will be increased by 30%, 50%, or even doubled.

As for Du Fei's imitation version, if the final calculation is based on 500,000 units, purchasing 200 units will cost 100 million US dollars.

This is only the price of the tank itself. Other supporting maintenance parts, shell consumables, and many other things have to be calculated separately.

Even if it doesn’t count, for a 100 million US dollar contract alone, as the manager, Hashem’s 1% kickback is not too much~

That's a million dollars.

After Hashem left, Said from Pakistan immediately brought people to join him.

This person's attitude has changed a lot. He is rather arrogant and respectful. He no longer has a sullen face and speaks very politely.

Du Fei smiled inwardly, but he didn't pretend to be a slap in the face, and smiled more politely than him.

When you open the door for business, you will be taken advantage of. Only a standard smile and enthusiastic service can make people willing to pay.

Motives do not exist.
