1959: Carrying the achievement system, she rolled

Chapter 231 Tentative Research Direction

If they fail to develop better tanks by the end of the war, the disadvantages of the Type 59 tank will be exposed to all enemies.

It is fatal to them, even though the Type 5 tank already has powerful tungsten steel alloy armor-piercing shells.

It doesn't mean that it can act recklessly on the battlefield. In the end, there may be a one-for-one situation. The problem lies in its defensive capabilities.

"If we want to improve the tank's ability to resist the shock wave of a nuclear explosion, we must reduce the area of ​​the tank that is vulnerable to bullets. A large tank is easy to be discovered and more likely to be hit. We also have to take into account issues such as transportation, serviceability, and passability," Du Yimeng said again.

Everyone nodded in agreement with her. If they wanted to develop a new type of tank, these issues must be taken into consideration.

"Comrade Du Yimeng spoke very well, let's applaud." Director Song nodded with satisfaction when he saw that Du Yimeng spoke very well.

It’s easy to understand, and he can understand even long speeches, which is great!

He decided that in future research meetings, he would let her speak first.

"Quack, quack, quack..."

For a moment, the conference hall was filled with warm applause.

The applause stopped, Du Yimeng nodded to everyone and sat down, and the speech ended successfully.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Director Song spoke again.

"Comrade Du Yimeng, please continue..." Director Song said to Du Yimeng with a smile.

Du Yimeng: She has already said everything, what else do you want her to say?

Well, since her superiors have called her, she can say more.

"For example, the engine that our Second Department is responsible for needs a more powerful engine if we want to improve the tank's mobility. However, the engine's size cannot exceed that of a B2 series V-type 12-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine."

"Not only that, we also need to reduce the size of the engine as much as possible. In this way, the space in the power room will become smaller, which can reduce the burden on the tank." Du Yimeng said.

Qin Chulong nodded with satisfaction. They had not yet discussed the research direction of the engine, but he did not expect that she already had a research direction.

Well, this student has never disappointed him since he came to the institute, which is great.

Suddenly he thought of Du Yimeng, who had given him so much headaches when he was in college.

He reflected on himself again and decided that there must have been something wrong with his teaching method at that time.

Wan Ping's eyes sparkled. Now that they have a research direction, does that mean they can start work at any time?

He likes to work and work makes him happy?

"I suggest that the combat weight of the new tank should not exceed that of the Type 59 tank, otherwise it will affect its maneuverability." Du Yimeng continued.

She didn't say much about other aspects, but she did say a few more words about the engine that their second department was responsible for.

She has no idea now. If she says too much, and if it is wrong, it will lead other laboratories in the wrong research direction.

After Du Yimeng finished speaking, she saw that everyone was looking at her with bright eyes, and there should be applause here.

Is it that what she said was not good enough, or does she need to continue speaking?

"Comrade Du Yimeng, please give us a summary!" After Director Song said this, he immediately took out a pen, then looked at her seriously and gestured to continue.

"I think the most basic requirements for a new type of tank are solid armor protection, powerful firepower, and better maneuverability. We should try our best to make a tank with light combat weight, simple structure, and more reliable performance." After saying this, Du Yimeng sat up directly.

She really had nothing to say this time. If she wanted to say anything more, she would have to wait until she finished the next step of research.

There was silence in the conference room. Putting aside other things, the sturdy armor protection alone was enough to stump everyone.

The armor steel required for the Type 59 tank has been discontinued because it cannot be imported.

To be honest, it is impossible for them to develop stronger armor protection now.

If they could make it, they would have already made the armor steel needed for the Type 59 tank.

Now there is a fatal problem: how can they make stronger armor protection?

Even if this problem is solved, the next step is powerful firepower, and the tank cannot be too big or too heavy, which is a problem!

Even a small problem requires huge efforts to solve, not to mention that each one is a big problem, what should we do?

Everyone looked at each other, and saw the bitterness in each other's eyes. But no one stood up to refute, because Du Yimeng's idea was correct.

"Comrade Du Yimeng has finished speaking. Does any other comrades have anything to add?" Director Song wrote down Du Yimeng's final summary word for word, and then asked everyone.

He thought that using her final summary directly as the content of this report would save him from racking his brains.

It’s great to copy it. He is so smart.

He was quite happy at the beginning, especially when Du Yimeng spoke so clearly.

To be honest, he was very happy and even had a feeling that maybe in the near future they would really develop a new type of tank.

But when she finished speaking, he felt his scalp tingling. Fortunately, he was wearing a hat, so the goose bumps did not push his hair away.

Even though he was not an expert, he knew it was as difficult as climbing to the sky, not to mention that what she said was just a preliminary idea.

Seeing that everyone was lost in thought, he stopped asking questions and the conference room fell silent for a moment.

After a few minutes, everyone was discussing with each other. They were so engrossed in the discussion that their voices gradually became louder. At this time, the conference room was like a vegetable market.

That's how it was, Director Song didn't disturb anyone, and it continued like this for another hour.

"Old Joe, what ideas does your laboratory have?" Director Song asked after everyone had almost finished discussing.

Since no one took the initiative, he would call out the names!

The first person to be called was, of course, Engineer Qiao, the head of the general components laboratory.

"Xiao Du said it very well. At least I can't come up with a better preliminary plan to refute her. Next, we should discuss whether the research direction Xiao Du mentioned is feasible. If it is feasible, we can temporarily decide on the research direction." Engineer Qiao said.

Finally, he looked at Du Yimeng with admiration. If it were him, he would ask himself, he was not as comprehensive as she was.

Last night, everyone in their laboratory worked overtime until midnight, and they studied the information of the Type 59 tank over and over again.

I still had no idea, but after listening to her words today, I felt like everything suddenly became clear.

As expected of a young man, his mind works very quickly.

One person working overtime all night is better than dozens of people working overtime until midnight.

"What do others think?" Director Song asked others.
