Regarding tanks, many people seem to have some kind of misunderstanding.
What's so difficult about building a tank when two mouths touch each other? To put it bluntly, isn't it just a car and a cannon on it? It's very simple! Could there be any technical difficulties?
If you insist on saying that, there is nothing you can do about it, but it is really not that easy to build a car and put a cannon on it.
Let¡¯s talk about the power plant first, wouldn¡¯t someone be so stupid as to think that building an internal combustion engine is equivalent to building a tank?
The performance of the internal combustion engine is also divided into grades, grades, grades, and grades. Looking at the current military transport vehicles, they don¡¯t even dare to install a few more armor plates on them, because once the materials are loaded on the vehicle, it is very likely that they will not be able to drive.
The engine output power is insufficient, can you drive a tank of thirty or forty tons?
At this time, some people wondered, why can the battleship move?
Because the battleship is one or two hundred meters tall, you can put a turbine the size of a room on it, but can a tank fit in it? To be honest, the size of a battleship engine alone is not much smaller than a tank.
Now let¡¯s talk about the topic, according to the current technology, it is obviously unrealistic to develop an engine that can make tanks do whatever they want.
However, such technical problems cannot be solved in a short period of time. If this is the case, the only choice is to control the tonnage of the tanks. Instead of tanks of 30 to 40 tons, build a light tank of ten tons or more than a dozen tons. Come out, head office?
Well, after making trade-offs and barely solving the power problem, let's look at the weapon system.
The main weapon of the tank is, of course, the long main gun.
But according to the tonnage of a light tank, if a 125-caliber main gun is installed on it, can its small body bear it?
Don't kill yourself when you fire the cannon.
Therefore, for the sake of insurance, and considering the stability of a whole tank and chariot, it is best to keep the caliber below 100.
Now let¡¯s talk about the protection system, the most direct one is the armor plate. The tank must charge forward on the battlefield, and the soldiers behind will follow the tank, so the armor plate must be thick enough and the defense must be strong!
But now the problem is coming, because the front power unit is not very powerful, if you install too much and too thick armor plate, it will be too heavy and cannot be driven.
So and so, in order to ensure mobility, you can only relatively reduce the thickness and quantity of the armor, or make the turret shrink a bit, or even directly replace it with a relatively light weapon.
According to this rhythm, you will soon be able to build a tank that is balanced at best, and nothing at all.
After you send it to the battlefield, you will find that your tank with mediocre mobility and insufficient armor defense cannot show the combat effectiveness you expected at all.
In the end, I came to a conclusion, that is, like a fool, I spent a lot of money on this currently very low cost-effective thing. With that spare money, it is better to equip the army soldiers with two more grenades and a body armor. How about an upgrade to upgrade your rifle?
Yes, you successfully built the tank, but we can use a cheaper and more cost-effective way to achieve the same results.
This is also the main reason why players don't have any tanks at this stage. They are not stupid, and many problems have not been solved yet. Why spend so much money on things with such low cost performance? Isn't it good to wait until all the problems in all aspects are resolved, and then do it in one step?
This is what players do at this stage.
Of course, in addition to the above things, there are actually many things to do on the tank.
For example, the artillery two-way stabilizer.
To put it bluntly, everyone should know that the turret on the tank can rotate.
It is even possible to turn the main body of the chariot below to the left, and the tank turret to turn to the right.
The function of the two-way stabilizer of the artillery is to ensure that the artillery will not be affected by these factors during the movement and turning of the tank, so as to launch a stable artillery attack.
This thing is very important, because it determines the shelling accuracy of this tank to a large extent.
It is no exaggeration to say that when judging whether a tank is powerful or not, its two-way stability is also a very important factor in judging.
After all, as long as the cannon fails to hit the target, it is free.
And the technology in this thing is too big.
Of course, you can also build fixed turrets, but in that case, why do you build tanks?Everyone builds tanks because they value the mobility of the tank on the battlefield. At the same time, the rotation of the turret allows the flexibility to attack the enemy from all angles.
It's impossible to spend so much money just to build a front row meat shield, right?
If you are in a tense battle and there is no time to produce later, it is understandable to make a compromise and build a fixed fort, but it is too speechless to go to the fixed fort from the beginning.
In addition, there is also a communication device, and you must also install a communication device in your tank, otherwise you will be a deaf and blind person on the battlefield.
And then electrical equipment, which must be necessary, otherwise, how can you run so many devices on your tank and chariot?
At the same time, in more detail, there are many more.
And if you want to install so many devices, equipment, and weapons in such a limited space, you have to test a design ability.
There is a saying that goes well, experts watch the doorway, and laymen watch the excitement.
For laymen, looking at things like tanks and battleships, they seem to look similar, and you can't tell the difference after looking at them for a long time.
However, some experts can report an accurate model just by looking at it twice.
To give a simple example, take Yuan Xi as an example. Luo Ji can't see much of the truth when he looks at those warships, but you just point to a fleet and ask Yuan Xi how those warships are. I'll tell you a lot.
It is true that tanks have existed for a long time, but combined with various technical problems, in the history of the real world, tanks actually really rose during World War II.
As for the tanks and chariots of the dwarf civilization in the Tang and Song Dynasties, although Luo Ji did not see their performance with his own eyes, Kargan had already led his troops to the sky at that time, so he saw some.
Luo Ji just listened to Kargan's report, and he knew that this dwarf tank was simply black technology.
Are you kidding me? At the current stage, a 30 to 40 ton tank can run and fight. With good mobility, its defense is also quite amazing. It can even withstand two attacks from Hydra, which is not black enough. Technology?
After bidding farewell to Tang and Song Dynasties, Luo Ji walked briskly all the way back to his tent for temporary rest, then quickly opened the system panel, sent a message to Ye Qingxuan, and directly sent the dwarf tank chariot The gold-level design blueprint traded in the past.
Obviously, according to the situation on the front line, he won't be able to go back for a while, but he must study this dwarf tank first, and the sooner it can be built, the better.
In this way, it is the most convenient way to deal directly with Ye Qingxuan and let Ye Qingxuan instruct this matter.
After getting all these things almost done, it was getting dark outside.
Luo Ji, who had a quick dinner, was ready to go to bed first.
After all, the long-distance travel before could not be fully recovered with a sleep, and he is still quite tired now.
Until Wang Kai, the chief guard next to him, reminded him
"Your Majesty, Lieutenant Colonel Gert is still holding that Pompeii Rand, waiting for orders under the sea."
Hearing this, Luo Ji slapped his head, well, as there were so many things to do, he accidentally forgot about Gert.
"Wang Kai, go and confirm whether the other forces have left at the outer port. After confirming, find a hidden location and ask Gert to catch Pompeii Rand up. Be careful, keep a little concealed. Try not to be discovered."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
