Chapter 158

“Everyone, this is our third-generation tank modification plan. As you have seen, here are all models! To demonstrate our design…” In the 359 workshop, a large group of Middle Easterners appeared, letting this usually empty workshop take a look. It became crowded.

Xie Kai, who was named by a Pakistani as a project introduction, was arrested and had his final exam in three days. You can imagine his helplessness.

The Pakistanis and some people in their team had no idea that these models were really made of wood.

The workshop is not an assembly workshop for the production of tanks. I haven’t seen many metal parts. Many of the parts are models, or molds in the natural color of wood.

The faces of Mubara and Kachihead showed anger after being tricked.

They were brandishing US knives, crying and crying for cooperation with this company. The president personally called China to find some leaders to intercede, but he actually showed them wooden models.

“Thanks, this is your plan? A plan made of wood?” Musharraf couldn’t help but speak when the general couldn’t speak. “A three-generation tank made of wood?”

The gold masters in the team looked at their smiles playfully.

Was cheated by the Chinese!

Even Long Yaohua, Li Mingshan and others were so angry that their faces were gloomy.

Call them ahead of time to tell them, let’s be prepared, and bring the Pakistanis directly to this workshop.

Even in this workshop, don’t make a wooden model, don’t you?

It hasn’t been painted yet, revealing the true color of wood.

Under such circumstances, they can’t even help with words.

“What else is not made of wood?” Luo Zhiyu sneered. Now the other party is making a lot of jokes. The fire in his chest because of being robbed of the project, at this moment, instantly dissipated, “General, wooden tanks can be used to scare the enemy. The sturdy barrel, the wedge-shaped turret with a western face, and the missile launcher at the back are very good to scare the enemy.”

When Luo Zhiyu said this strange thing, he was glared at by Long Yaohua and others, but he was not embarrassed at all.

It was obvious that Long Yaohua and the others were partial. As a result, there was such an international joke that left the old faces of Long Yaohua and others with nowhere to put it.

He wants to see how 404 and others end up.

Seeing the fat sheep get angry, Zheng Yucheng secretly scolded Xie Kai, the little bastard, and asked him to talk about the plan last night. He left a sentence and ran back to sleep when he saw a trick. Why didn’t they ask more!

The base managers are all ashamed.

If you look at other technical results, such as the Chobham model, and then look at the finished wood product, wouldn’t it be the case?

You can only cast “you do it yourself” eyes at Xie Kai, and even threaten it.

If you don’t get it done, let alone the funding is gone, even Long Yaohua and others will not help them in the future.

They couldn’t explain this matter.

He already saw the fifty million dollars in project funding as money in his pocket.

“Yes, these are all wooden models.” Xie Kai nodded calmly.

“What we want is a third-generation tank, and your introduction is also a third-generation tank plan!” Musharraf’s anger in his tone did not hide the slightest. “This is our cooperation project? Cooperating on wooden models?”

Mubara and others all looked at Xie Kai, as long as they couldn’t explain well, they turned around and left.

The jokes made by this unit are really big.

Long Yaohua, Li Mingshan and the others all had their old faces flushed, and the soldiers who followed them did not comment, and the expressions on their faces already reflected their hearts.

Glorious misfortune, worry, anger, etc. all appeared.

“Sir, if that’s the case, will we take you to visit here?” Xie Kai looked at everyone in time.

He knew that the anger of the Pakistanis had reached the brink of eruption, and his purpose had been achieved. Then I went directly to the topic, “When I first came into contact, the entire project was introduced. You have seen the technology of the fire control system for the command ceremony; you have already visited the 541 factory and saw the trial production 125mm tank gun…”

As Xie Kai said, the anger of the Pakistanis did not rise any more, and they began to become confused.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“This is indeed a wooden model, but a full-size wooden model! First of all, I will show you all here, not to make a joke, but to tell you that we attach great importance to the cooperation between the two parties. The cost of a metal full-size model is tens or even hundreds of times different!” Xie Kai’s face is very serious.

Even if the face is naive, no one takes lightly at this moment.

Even Luo Zhiyu was stunned.

Help customers save costs and tell each other that we will not arbitrarily spend money just because the funds are provided by the customer.



They also do this, and have never let customers know how they save money so directly.

“This kind of model manufacturing has been used since the existence of our domestic military enterprises. Our fighter jets, tanks, helicopters and other large equipment are all verified in full size in this way…” Xie Kai didn’t say nonsense.

In order to save development costs, foreign countries make experimental samples of full-size metal models, while domestic ones use wood models. Wood is not as difficult to process as metal and is costly.

“It’s just an assembly design drawing, it doesn’t look intuitive.” Xie Kai continued, “With this model, everyone can understand what our design will look like in the end.”

“That’s good,” said a Middle Easterner in his forties. “Very good way.”

Even Long Yaohua and others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the anger of the Pakistanis and special guests dissipated.

It is true that this method has been used in China, and they do not want to be known by outsiders. Many people find it ashamed.

Every military-industrial unit in the country is equipped with a woodworking workshop.

The design of many equipment is to continuously improve the design after the model is manufactured.

As a result, the cost of equipment research and development is far cheaper than abroad.

“The entire model is manufactured one-to-one according to our design. If there is a problem with the assembly, or a part of the design does not match the part assembled next to it, we will improve the design of all the parts in these places, and Guaranteed performance…” Xie Kai continued.

“This model, you can clearly see, only the chassis, road wheels, and engine.” Xie Kai pointed to the front chassis made of wood model, without armor, not enclosed, you can intuitively see the position of the engine on the chassis .

The metal engine is very large. This is the 730 horsepower engine transferred from the 617 factory.

Luo Zhiyu’s mouth twitched when he saw the engine.

The redesigned engine of their unit has fulfilled the competition.

“Because of the need to reserve the ability to replace the 1000-horsepower diesel engine, the layout needs to be more reasonable in space. The improvement in the drawing makes it impossible to experience the true feelings of the combatants.” Xie Kai continued to introduce.

The Pakistani who was still angry just now nodded constantly after listening to his introduction.

They are not designers, and they know that unreasonable design of the internal space of heavy weapons and equipment will seriously affect the combat capability.

The 359 workshop is not big, and there are no other finished products except for the finished product that was made at the beginning.

The chassis of several 59 tanks all show different assembly states. Some can see the layout design of the ammunition compartment and the engine behind, and some can show the space of the cockpit.

The model gave Pakistanis a very intuitive feeling about the 404 base tank project, and no one said that 404 was a joke anymore.

Before switching to it, they had no idea that they would be able to intuitively experience all aspects of this weaponry when a project has not made much progress.

Incorporating into each system you see, you can intuitively feel the performance.

“You don’t use wood to make models? Why are there metal models in it? Full-size metal models?” Musharraf has served in armored forces and knows the performance of tanks very well.

The people in front of me said at first that they used wood models to save costs, but in the end they showed them full-size metal models.

“That’s it. In order to verify whether the power system can meet the design requirements, we must make a metal model that is at least equivalent to or even higher than the weight of the tank we designed. If the power system cannot meet the design requirements, we will continue to improve the power system… “Xie Kai introduced.

“In this way, the research speed can be speeded up, and a certain system can be prevented from affecting the progress of the entire project.” Zheng Yucheng is now beginning to feel convulsed again.

When I said this, I glanced at the special guests in the Pakistani team from time to time.

Although those people have always been in the Pakistani team, they are not so harmonious.

They kept recording something Xie Kai said, and then communicated with people around them.

Zheng Yucheng found them long ago, and this is the fat sheep.

“Because of this, we dared to guarantee that with sufficient funding from you, we would produce samples within three years.” Xie Kai continued.

Mubara asked curiously, “If the funds are not sufficient, how much time do you plan to spend according to your current situation?”

“Ten years, or even more time.” Xie Kai said categorically. “Of course, in this process, advanced technology emerges, we will incorporate it, so that our project will not fall behind because of too long time.”

In the military industry, a sword has been sharpened in ten years, everywhere.

Many of them have been sharpened for more than ten years, such as the J-10 and 99 tanks.

The J-20 even took nearly two decades.

Of course, this is actually for Long Yaohua and others as well as Pakistanis.

If you really want a unit like the 404 base without the support of the state to engage in such a costly project, if you can’t see the benefits for so long, Xie Kai will definitely not do it.

Tanks are not big airplanes. Large airplanes will disappear after stopping all over the country.

“How much have you invested in this project so far?” Katchhead asked Zheng Yucheng.

“About 50 million yuan. This project has been going on for almost ten years…” This was discussed by Zheng Yucheng and Xie Kai.

When Long Yaohua and others heard this number, their eyes suddenly widened.

black!

Really TM black!

How much invested in the early stage, this is what they can extract from the hands of the Pakistanis at their own disposal.

“Aren’t they all wooden models? How could it cost so much!” Katchhead was not a fool.
