Chapter 232 New Tanks (Part 2)

"This is our new tractor."

Sodaval pointed to a large tractor in front of him and said to the three. Yesterday's wine fight didn't have a big impact on the young people. Today, the three of them visited the new products of the machinery factory under the leadership of Sodaval. Eh... It's not at all to say that there is no impact. Originally, they planned to visit in the morning, but because they had a good time yesterday, they could only visit in the afternoon.

Biaq, who had been drinking wine last night, looked at the tractor that had not been painted and was still shining with metallic luster, and praised it. "really not bad."

As the leader of the three, Hulk was most concerned about data, so he asked. "Can I ask about the data on this tractor?"

"sure."

After Suodaval replied, he began to introduce the data of his tractor. "This tractor is 4.25 meters long, 1.6 meters wide, 1.7 meters high, and 3.05 meters long. The power is a four-cylinder 80-horsepower horizontal diesel engine developed by Professor Diesel. I believe you are familiar with this diesel engine. "

"It's not unfamiliar, we are all familiar with it."

Wang Chaoqiang answered Sodaval. They only used this diesel engine as the power source for the tank last year, and of course they know the basics about this diesel engine.

"The tractor can go 35km in the mountains with a full load of cargo."

Hulk said fairly. "Very good product."

Biak didn't speak, but he gave a thumbs up, meaning the same thing. Sodaval saw the performance of the two, and when he was happy, he planned to show them something new.

"We are developing other products based on this tractor, do you want to see it?"

"certainly."

Then Sodaval led the three to another workshop, and he spoke to the three on the way. "When we designed this tractor, we were ready to extend it to other types. For example, bulldozers, excavators, etc. are all new products we developed based on this diesel engine. So this 80-horsepower four-cylinder sleeper Type diesel engine is the key to the development of our machinery factory.”

Hulk heard Sodaval's implication, but couldn't help but ask. "So, you're going to continue investing money in research and development on diesel engines?"

"Why not?"

Sodaval turned his head and asked Hulk,

Seeing that you Hulk didn't answer, he continued. "Our collaboration with Power Labs will continue, and the only question now is how well it sells, which will determine our continued investment."

Hearing Sodaval's ambitious words, the three couldn't help but think of the Volkswagen factory. They have dominated the European car market for years with the Model T and two trucks. In the past few years, a 5-ton heavy truck has been developed. If the outbreak of the war had not stimulated the sales of trucks, especially the 5-ton heavy truck that can travel on complex terrain. Regardless of sales, only in terms of research and development, Volkswagen has been mediocre in recent years, which makes the three feel heavy.

But the trio soon put their concerns about the Volkswagen behind, as they walked to another workshop and saw a tracked vehicle. This is what they need to care about for the three people who are now on the task of developing a new tracked combat vehicle. Now I just look at the best tracked vehicle factories in China, what can I learn from.

"This is the bulldozer we developed."

Sodaval pointed to the crawler bulldozer with a thick shovel head in front of him and said. "This is the bulldozer we developed."

The belt bulldozer was successfully developed by American Benjamin Holt in 1904. It was formed by installing a human-lifting bulldozer in front of the crawler tractor. The power at that time was a steam engine, and then it was successfully developed by natural gas. Drive and gasoline engine driven crawler bulldozers, bulldozer blades are also developed from manual lifting to wire rope lifting.

And the bulldozer invented by Benjamin Holt caught the attention of the director of Portos Riku, who had been considering the types and sales of the machine shop's products. He could see the role of this machine in engineering infrastructure at a glance. He estimated that the market for this machine was definitely not small, so he also asked the machine factory to develop a machine to compete with its counterparts in the United States. This tractor is a lot better than Holt's own factory, first they swapped out the wire mounts for structural steel rivets, which made it more sturdy, and they swapped out the power for a diesel engine.

But for the three, these are secondary, mainly because the bulldozer is equipped with a unique suspension system. Independent cylindrical coil spring suspension system. The machinery factory installed an independent cylindrical coil spring suspension system on this bulldozer, which was originally intended to prevent the tractor from shaking too much during work, resulting in the fastest running bulldozer. When Sodaval introduced the interesting facts about the suspension system, the three couldn't help but want to drive it for themselves.

"I'll let them show you."

Sodaval complied with the requirements of the three, and he hired a test driver to drive it on the proving ground. The three of them were stunned as they watched the fast bulldozer running on the complex test site.

"Look at it driving through the dirt pit without slowing down."

One of the three, Biaq, yelled at the bulldozer speeding in the proving ground, and the other two behaved similarly to him. Don't blame the trio for such a big reaction, mainly because they were wounded by the suspension system of the first tank.

On the first tank they designed, the three directly used the non-independent suspension of the car, which was the rhythm that the members of the tank would want to vomit. They also have no other way, and the funds given do not allow to redesign a suspension system, so the 37 short gun on the tank is not allowed to be 300 meters away. And because it is a non-independent suspension, it is easy for the tank to have various small problems during driving, which is also because it is not an independent suspension.

Now they are looking at an independent suspension system that could be used on a tank, how could they not be excited. And it seems that this suspension system can make the tanks they design easily meet the requirements of the military. But before that, you need to ask the reliability of Suodaval's suspension system.

Thinking of this, Hulk asked Sodaval beside him. "Is this car's suspension reliable?"

"So far we haven't found a problem. Why do you guys want to use this suspension system."

In the face of Sodaval's inquiry, Hulk said without hesitation. "Yes, we would like to use it in the new tracked armored vehicle, can you introduce this suspension system?"

"no problem."

Suodaval told Hulk the main principles and data of the independent cylindrical coil spring suspension system. Standing next to him, Biak and Wang Chaoqiang raised their ears and listened intently to Suodaval's explanation. When they heard that the principle is to convert the vertical motion of the road wheel into the expansion and contraction of the spring, and the resulting elastic deformation provides the support force for the car body, they could not help but admire the technicians of the machine shop.

Who would have thought that it is just a change of thinking, that is, to make the tracked vehicle with this suspension system fly like a fly. For this reason, the three of them even thought that this time was the right one, and that they should have come to Ploiesti several times.
