1959: Carrying the achievement system, she rolled

Chapter 404 discusses the research direction of 103

Director Song turned to look at Du Yimeng in shock, wondering if Du was being too demanding of himself.

But no matter how shocked he was, he did not raise any objections.

Because he clearly defines himself as a leader who climbs up the ladder by stepping on the achievements of his subordinates. So no matter what his subordinates say or do, it is right.

As for Political Commissar Yang and Director Liu, they would not raise any objections. They were just there to accompany us.

"Student Du's suggestion is very good. If we are going to do it, let's do it on a big scale." Qin Chulong spoke first when he saw that no one else was talking.

He usually doesn't like to talk, but for the sake of his students, he has to help out. The sudden silence will dampen the students' enthusiasm.

"I agree!" Wan Ping followed closely behind, glancing at Qin Chulong as he spoke. He had always supported her, but he hadn't expected that his teacher would beat him to the punch in a moment of distraction.

Great!

"I agree..." Everyone echoed. They were used to silence. Who knew they had to express their opinions now?

"Since everyone agrees, then this matter is settled. Let's discuss the research direction. If you have any ideas, please feel free to speak up." Du Yimeng said to everyone with a smile.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Director Song and Wan Ping opened their notebooks at the same time.

Wan Ping turned to look at Director Song, as if asking if this was his job?

Director Song: He doesn't want to stay in the same place like a feudal scumbag forever. He wants to stand up.

Director Liu, who was in the middle of the two people, was relaxed and at ease. He was just here to slack off.

"I think we can increase the caliber of the main gun to increase the firepower. Once our tanks have huge firepower, they will definitely terrify the enemy on the battlefield." Compared to the previous silence, Engineer Liu spoke first this time.

He spoke with great ambition as soon as he opened his mouth, vowing to let everyone in the world know what he does.

Since we have to do something big, we should start by increasing the firepower. Because the previous Type 65 tank also used a 125mm smoothbore gun, they did not have much work to do.

So in his spare time he could only support other laboratories, and he, who was in charge of firepower, was almost becoming a handyman.

What bad intentions could he have? He just wants to do more work in the field he is good at.

Many people were about to open their mouths, but then silently closed them. They were too hasty, and Lao Liu got ahead of them.

"I think we should still choose the 125mm smoothbore gun as the main gun. Powerful firepower is good, but we also have to consider its later usage." Du Yimeng said to Engineer Liu with a smile.

As everyone knows, tanks are expensive, while cannons are worth a fortune. She wanted to develop a 150mm smoothbore cannon, but the country's current strength did not allow it.

If they really build a tank with more powerful firepower but are reluctant to use it, it will just be a pile of useless metal.

Upon hearing this, the smile on Mr. Liu's face instantly disappeared. Well, after all, he was still just a handyman, and his free speech had become a lonely thing.

The others nodded in agreement. Indeed, no matter what they did, the first thing they considered was whether the country's financial resources could support it.

If a country has enough money to build guns at will, what does it matter if it increases the caliber of the main gun?

Of course, we need to replace it with a heavy gun, such as a 200mm main gun.

The size of their capabilities depends on the country's financial resources. There is no doubt that they have this confidence.

If Du Yimeng knew what everyone thought, she could only say that she was too low-key.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, there will be work for you. In addition to being able to fire conventional artillery shells, the 103 must also be able to fire anti-tank missiles." Du Yi continued.

However, these words failed to arouse Engineer Liu's high spirits, but instead made him even more depressed. Because anti-tank missiles had been developed long ago, they still had no use for them.

"I think the range of the anti-tank missile is still too short. We will strive to increase the range to four thousand meters. This task will be handed over to Engineer Liu." Du Yimeng said with a smile. Her requirements were not low, directly doubling the original range.

"Don't worry, Chief Engineer Du, we will take care of this." Engineer Liu immediately stood up and assured righteously.

He is not afraid of difficult tasks, but he is afraid of having no work to do.

"As for auxiliary weapons, a 7.62mm machine gun is installed side by side to the right of the main gun, and a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun is installed on the commander's cupola. Like the Type 65 tank, in order to improve the tank's survivability on the battlefield, in addition to using automatic loading machines to feed ammunition, manual feeding also needs to be retained." Du Yimeng said to Engineer Liu, and the latter nodded.

"However, due to the limitation of the turret angle, the magazine supply was reduced. Should we change the automatic loader or improve the turret, or both? Engineer Liu, this task is also handed over to you. We will discuss the specific situation later." Du Yimeng smiled at Engineer Liu, her tone was so gentle, just because she liked the person who worked the most.

The magazine feed directly affects the rate of fire, so this problem must be solved.

Engineer Liu, who had originally been beaming, gradually lost his smile. Either he was benched or he was forced to work himself to death.

He really wanted to ask, can we neutralize it?

"Chief Engineer Du is right!" Engineer Liu nodded vigorously, fearing that if he was late, Du Yimeng would assign the work to someone else.

Then he glanced at Wan Ping secretly, because his biggest competitor was Wan Ping.

I don’t know what’s wrong with this guy’s brain. It’s clearly an area he’s not good at, but the other party still manages to steal his job.

"Since we have chosen to use the 125mm smoothbore gun, other devices need to be greatly improved or innovated to improve the performance of 103." Du Yimeng continued to speak to everyone.

Her words made everyone fall into deep thought. This would become a huge project. Could they complete the task within the specified time?

In just a few seconds, everyone's eyes were filled with determination. They could do it.

"In order to improve the maneuverability of the tank, it is necessary to reduce its weight as much as possible. I think the 103 can imitate the structure and appearance of the Type 64 tank. The cockpit is still set on the central axis of the vehicle body, and the turret is still in the center of the vehicle body. The gunner continues to be on the left, the commander on the right, and the engine is still at the rear." Du Yimeng said.

"Of course, if you feel there are some shortcomings, you can make improvements." Du Yimeng proposed again. They are just discussing now, not drawing conclusions.

Unfortunately, no one raised any objections and everyone nodded in agreement because everyone thought so too.
