Chapter 308 The powerful Type 99 is out
Upon hearing this, everyone was amazed at this advanced design concept. One expert couldn't help but knock on the ceramic patches. They made a "clang clang" sound and felt very hard.
"Using ceramics to prevent bullets? What a creative idea!" He exclaimed with his eyes wide open.
Li Yang smiled proudly and explained: "This is not ordinary ceramics, but special alumina ceramics. It is extremely hard and can effectively destroy the tip of the armor-piercing projectile. Combined with the inner layer of steel armor, it is enough to withstand the frontal attack of a 100mm rifled gun!"
Everyone nodded and marveled at what they heard.
This is truly an extraordinary design, not only well thought out but also far ahead of its time.
General Lin was so excited that he danced with joy, patted Li Yang on the shoulder and praised him for his foresight.
Just as everyone was praising the armor, Li Yang led them to the other side of the vehicle, pointed to an inconspicuous square device there, and asked mysteriously: "Everyone, guess what this is used for?"
Everyone looked at each other, confused for a moment?1?8
"Isn't this a searchlight?" someone asked hesitantly.
Li Yang laughed loudly and slammed the table and stood up: "Yes! This is the killer of the Type 99 - the active defense system!"
He explained: "This system, which consists of millimeter-wave radar and infrared detectors, can detect incoming anti-tank missiles at the first opportunity, and then automatically launch interceptor missiles to detonate the warhead tens of meters away from the vehicle body, eliminating the threat in advance!"
"What? Installing interceptor missiles on tanks?"
Everyone was stunned, dumbfounded, and felt that their worldview was completely shattered.
You know, active defense is reasonable on aircraft and ships, but it is simply a fantasy on tanks!
"But, but has this thing been developed?" an expert asked stutteringly.
Li Yang smiled confidently: "Don't worry, the development progress is very smooth! The millimeter-wave radar can already detect targets 5 kilometers away, and the interceptor missile has completed multiple launch tests with a success rate of over 85%!" As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Exclamations and praises came one after another, and the whole workshop was boiling.
Everyone was discussing it at once, full of curiosity and anticipation for this new concept of active defense system.
After all, no one wants to lose his life to a small missile.
With this protective umbrella, tank soldiers will be able to be more powerful and sweep across the battlefield!
General Lin was overjoyed and gave Li Yang a thumbs up. In his opinion, with this technology alone, the Type 99 would be able to stand out from the crowd and be invincible!
Amidst exclamations, Li Yang led everyone to the rear of the car, and everyone's eyes lit up.
The familiar roar of car engines resounds through the air here.
On the platform, running at full speed, was a huge machine with immense power.
"This is the power heart of our Type 99 tank - the 12V150 diesel engine!" Li Yang proudly introduced, "I improved it based on the Dongfeng heavy truck engine. It uses turbocharging and intercooling, is equipped with a high-pressure common rail, and has a power of up to 1500 horsepower!"
Everyone's eyes lit up and they couldn't help but applaud.
"1500 horsepower? That's pretty impressive!"
"This, this is as fast as a heavy truck, right? How can a tank be this fast?"
"How fast can it run? I estimate that it must be almost as fast as a light tank!"
......
Facing everyone's exclamations, Li Yang raised his lips proudly: "Of course! This engine not only has strong horsepower, but also has great torque. It can make a 50-ton Type 99 tank run at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar and could not believe their ears.
A main battle tank can actually reach 70 miles per hour. Isn't this too sci-fi?
You know, tanks of the same tonnage generally only have a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour.
"Xiao Li, I think you are joking? This is too exaggerated!" An expert was skeptical.
General Lin spoke first, and said firmly: "I know Xiao Li, he always keeps his word! Since he said 70 kilometers, he must be very sure! You guys, just wait for your eyes to be opened!"
His words inspired Li Yang so much that everyone present couldn't help but have confidence in this incredible "big guy".
However, no matter how fast a tank is, without powerful firepower, it is just a moving target.
Everyone quickly focused their attention on the Type 99's majestic main gun.
"Xiao, Xiao Li, this cannon... has a history?" Someone stammered, "Could it be the legendary 1mm?"
Li Yang smiled when he heard this, leaning against the gun barrel, and said leisurely: "That's right! This 125mm smoothbore gun is the main weapon of our Type 99 tank.
Whether it's range or penetration, it can be said to be first-class in the world!"
He went on to explain: "This gun is 6.2 meters long, with a chamber pressure of 500 MPa, an initial velocity of 1800 meters per second, and a maximum effective range of 5000 meters!"
"It fires special ammunition such as armor-piercing shells, armor-piercing shells, and guided shells.
Among them, the tungsten alloy long rod core of the armor-piercing projectile, combined with the new propellant, is enough to penetrate 1 meter thick homogeneous armor!" As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into a state of stagnation again.
One meter thick armor, how terrifying would that be?
Even the legendary T-62 has only about 200mm of frontal armor, but what about the Type 99 tank? It can actually penetrate 1 meter!
What a huge gap! It's like a toy car versus a heavy truck. There is no comparison at all!
"This, this is too awesome, right? Who can withstand one shot?" A military expert muttered to himself, his face turning pale.
Everyone suddenly realized that this was the reason why the Type 99 tank swept the world! With this ferocious main gun, what target could it not penetrate?
As for the guided artillery shells, I heard that they can accurately strike helicopters and anti-tank missile positions 5 kilometers away. It is simply a protective umbrella tailor-made for infantry and armored forces?
Facing the admiring gazes of the crowd, Li Yang was very calm. For him, the advanced nature of the 1 smoothbore gun was no secret.
The real killer weapon is actually the Type 99's extraordinary "central nervous system" - the fire control system!
With its super-strong information collection and processing capabilities, the Type 99 can truly achieve "discover and destroy", becoming a true information-based combat platform.
Thinking of this, Li Yang's eyes flashed, he cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Everyone, please look, what I am going to introduce next is the real brain of the Type 99 tank - the advanced fire control system!"
Amid the curious and expectant gazes of the crowd, Li Yang walked confidently to the main combat position, where he saw display screens and buttons of various colors forming an eye-catching T-shaped control panel.
"The first thing that comes into view is this 1A42 fire control computer," Li Yang said, pointing to the large display screen in the center. "It is the core of the entire fire control system. It can automatically aim, calculate ballistics, and quickly guide shells to accurately hit the target. 1?8"
"Here is the periscope installed at the gunner's position. In addition to observation and aiming, it can also search for the enemy independently and conduct 'hunter-killer' attacks under the command of the commander?1?8"
"The gunner receives target information from the fire control computer through this integrated display and control terminal. He only needs to pull the trigger to automatically send the shell into the chamber and complete the loading and firing. 1?8"
Then, Li Yang pointed to several inconspicuous square devices on the roof and said, "These are advanced optoelectronic devices, from left to right they are laser ranging, thermal imaging, and meteorological measurement.
Even in high-speed maneuvers and turbulence, it can continue to track the target, providing a reliable basis for shooting.
"In addition, we have also installed advanced gun control radar on the main gun, changing the manual search for the enemy by the gunner to intelligent automation. In this way, the entire attack process does not require human intervention. All the processes can be automatically executed as long as the commander issues instructions..."
Li Yang spoke incessantly, introducing every aspect of the fire control system as if he knew them all by heart.
The people in the audience were fascinated by what they heard. They opened their eyes wide and nodded continuously.
They seemed to finally understand why this young man could be so unique and lead the times.
It turns out that this seemingly inconspicuous engineer actually has a grand blueprint to change the world!
……
Under the leadership of Li Yang, all systems of the Type 99 main battle tank were completed as scheduled, including wiring of electrical equipment, debugging of information modules, and installation of steering systems...
Each process is being carried out intensively?1?8
A full month later, when the last piece of armor was welded, the Type 99 main battle tank was finally fully armed and stood before the world with a brand new look!
The low and streamlined scissor-shaped body, coupled with the angular modular armor, exudes a kingly aura;
The 125mm smoothbore gun stood proudly, and the double-layered flash suppressor installed on the muzzle was like a huge mouth of the abyss, showing its rampant killing intent;
The periscope on the turret is as alert and sniffing as a cheetah, ready to give a fatal blow to its prey at any time;
The track belts are wide and thick, weighing several tons, and they make a dull roar as they roll over the ground, as if they want to crush everything that stands in their way.
Standing in front of this steel beast, everyone felt awe and shock.
This, this is our Type 99 tank? Is this really the case?
For a moment, everyone was stunned and speechless for a long time?1?8
This thing is a real monster!
