Building a Technological Power Starting with the Type 59 missile and Going Astray in Technological Development

Chapter 17 Finalizing the DesignChapter 17 Finalizing the Design
”Although the research and development project of the 212mm smoothbore gun of the 120 Mechanical Arsenal has stagnated, once our proposal is adopted, their project will be rescued by the military.”

If the Yan country military really wants to equip the new main battle tank with a 120mm smoothbore gun, it will definitely allocate funds to the 212 Mechanical Military Factory to allow them to continue to develop the 120mm smoothbore gun.

In that case, Song Xiyun took out his notebook and made a note on it to replace the original 115mm smoothbore gun with a larger 120mm smoothbore gun.

Although the 212mm smoothbore gun research and development project that the 120 Mechanical Arsenal is responsible for has run into difficulties and has come to a standstill.

However, as long as the design and development plan of the main battle tank provided by their 077 Mechanical Military Factory can be recognized and adopted by the Yan State military.

Then the design and development project of the 212mm smoothbore gun of the 120 Mechanical Arsenal may be supported by the military and restarted.

Indeed, if the Yan country’s military plans to equip the new main battle tank with a 120mm smoothbore gun, it will inevitably allocate corresponding funds to the 212 Mechanical Arsenal to promote its further research and development of this type of artillery.

Thinking of this, Song Xiyun immediately crossed out the original 115mm smoothbore gun on the original main battle tank design and development drawings, and instead recorded the change to a 120mm smoothbore gun.

”As for armor, I have some good stuff that can come in handy.” Lin Chenran said mysteriously.

”Good stuff?” Song Xiyun was suddenly confused.

And he muttered to himself: Could it be that our factory director has a magic weapon that can enhance the defensive power of tank armor?
”Actually, I didn’t stay in the director’s office much last week. Instead, I spent the whole day in the factory laboratory doing research, and my target was this special steel.” Lin Chenran explained calmly.

”what?”

”Special steel?”

”Chen Ran, could it be that... you succeeded?”

When Song Xiyun heard this, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

If Lin Chenran really succeeds in developing special steel, then it will definitely be a earth-shattering event for the 077 Mechanical Military Factory.

According to him, this special steel can not only be used in main battle tanks, but also significantly enhance their defense capabilities.

In this way, the 077 Mechanical Arsenal will surely usher in a historic leap!

Lin Chenran raised the corner of his mouth slightly and smiled softly: ”Almost, but it still needs further verification.”

”Really?” Song Xiyun widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

It only took one week to find a new special steel material!

”This……”

”That……”

Song Xiyun was dumbfounded and had no idea how to respond.

This speed and ability have far exceeded the scope of genius, it is simply a genius.

”Mr. Song, in fact, it’s not just this week’s efforts. Before I came to the 077 Mechanical Military Factory, I had already started researching new special steel.”

Lin Chenran lowered his voice and whispered to Song Xiyun.

”After arriving at the 077 Mechanical Arsenal, my inspiration burst forth like a spring, which led to the current achievements.”

He added one more sentence so as not to cause too much sensation.

After hearing this, although Song Xiyun was no longer as shocked as before, his heart was still full of admiration.

After all, being able to discover new special steel materials on your own is definitely a remarkable thing.

”That’s pretty impressive!” Song Xiyun exclaimed, with admiration gleaming in his eyes.

”I estimate that the special steel I developed will be several times or even dozens of times stronger than the steel used in the existing Type 69 tanks.”

Lin Chenran said calmly.

If vibranium material is added, its strength will be even stronger, perhaps hundreds or even thousands of times stronger.

Vibranium is not just a name.

In the Marvel Universe, Captain America’s shield has withstood attacks from countless weapons and remains intact.

This fully demonstrates the power of vibranium material.

……

After two hours of intense discussion, the preliminary form of the new main battle tank was finally successfully outlined through the joint efforts of Lin Chenran and Song Xiyun.
