Chapter 1004

In the noisy factory, the workers are working hard, just as the English seamen are all over the street, so are the German workers. ... every worker here is an old technician who has worked for about ten years. Their every action has been tempered by time and they seem to be so meticulous.

On the one hand, German workers have a solid foundation; on the other hand, German super factories are trying their best to replace people with machines. Germany started to advocate mechanical automation several years ago, but the progress has been limited because of the hardware defects and lag.

However, with the progress of the times and more and more investment in automatic production, the German who advocated precision manufacturing finally developed a complete set of semi-automatic production lines for various parts. Among them, Turing, a British computing master who was included by Germany one year ago, has provided many suggestions, which has enabled Germany to take the lead in this important field in the world.

What's more terrifying is that Germany's industrial heritage has been released by German leaders including Speer. In a Europe that has not been destroyed by war, its industrial manufacturing capacity even tends to catch up with that of the United States. Although there may still be gaps in other areas, the German military production has improved a lot compared with that in another time and space.

"Put the parts over there on the conveyor belt! Speed up A person in charge of the workshop pointed to the exquisite parts that had just been sent and processed by a French factory, and a group of apprentices under his hand gave a loud order.

So these students, who just graduated from technical school, rushed forward with laughter and began to put the parts engraved with the manufacturer, production date and quality inspector number in a neat row on the conveyor belt.

Then, driven by the conveyor belt, these parts move towards the remote installation machine. Then the skilled workers on the other side skillfully welded the parts sent here to a protruding position on the steel plate. Their action is very simple, just use the welding gun to spot a little, the parts that have been separated for a long distance just arrive at the position.

Soon the part was welded, and then pushed to another conveyor belt with a cart and sent to the next processing position. Each such manual welding link is a rotation of eight groups of personnel. Each group only works three hours a day to ensure the safety of the manual link.

The steel plates produced in this workshop will be welded into the floor in the next workshop and laid inside the tank as the floor. This is a relatively backward process of chassis processing. Generally, after installing these floor parts, the chassis of the tank will be almost completely completed.

At the other end of the high wall not far from here is the German tank gun production workshop. In the experimental warehouse there, a new type of tank gun with long barrel is being slowly hoisted on a strange welded turret. This turret is very different from the integrated shield turret that has been used in Germany. It adopts the installation form of split shield.

Similar to the modern tank, the front armor of this turret is welded on both sides of the turret and does not move up and down with the tank gun. This structure destroys the integrity of the front armor. However, this structure is easier to weld and produce, and other benefits are more obvious.

For example, this structure can make the gun itself have better activity ability. After all, carrying one armor plate, and carrying one third of armor plate, are not comparable in weight. With the decrease of weight, the pitching motion of gun system will become more convenient.

This new turret is the latest turret of the tiger king tank developed by German technicians. It uses the 105 mm caliber anti tank gun that akkado and all the armored forces on the front line have been waiting for. Although the caliber is slightly smaller than that of the 122mm gun on Stalin's tank used by the Soviet Union, its armor piercing power exceeds a whole section.

In order to install the gun, the tiger king tank was equipped with thicker side armor plate skirt, and the body armor thickness was increased by 5mm. The thickness of the front armor should be increased by a full 30 mm, so that the future main tank of Germany will have a more terrible ability to fight.

The added weight is to give the tank a steady shot at any angle. Although these weight increases have reduced the mobility of tiger king tanks by 5 kilometers per hour, everyone thinks that the price of speed is very worthwhile.

The 105 mm caliber main gun version of the tiger king tank has surpassed Stalin's tank, which the Soviet Union is proud of, in any way. The tiger king is far better than his opponent in terms of driving speed, armor thickness, firepower strength, etc. In terms of targeting system and reliability, it is also the benchmark of industrial products in this era. After the system integration, the German industrial system finally reflects its own technical advantages, and once again steadily overtakes its competitors on the weapon platform.

The lifting work was completed soon, and then the whole turret was slowly lifted up by the same crane. In the center of this workshop, there is a huge cement base, which is specially used to test the turret of tiger king tank. The installation work was soon completed, and the rest was the power test of the 105mm caliber gun.

Many instruments and equipment are connected to the turret, because the experiment not only tests the hitting accuracy and power of artillery, but also tests the recoil force and many other numerical values. No weapon is as simple as it looks. Even a rifle with complete design and structural drawings can almost fill a large box.

"Aim at the steel plate!" A German technician with a record board in his hand and a white coat yelled to the workers who were operating the turret: "be careful, make sure the turret is safe! Try to be gentle, gentlemen Those workers are also carefully operating this new experimental turret. After all, this turret will be used as a sample to produce tens of thousands of them in the future. After the German Tiger King tank is equipped with this new turret, it will really give play to the advantage of aiming system“ Aim over A worker finished the aiming action very easily. He has been testing the turret here for many years, so he finished the simple operation very easily. He aimed the turret installed on the cement base at the steel bull's-eye in the distance“ Fire With a command, the powerful 105mm tank gun also gave out a roar, and a roar reverberated back and forth in the workshop. The workers who were not on the production line put down their work and looked up in the direction of the roar“ Observation post, report the target hit A staff member who put the telephone microphone on his face asked the observation station near the target about the report of target breakdown“ At a distance of 1100 meters, it can easily break through the front armor plate of Stalin's tank. It's very easy to run through... Maybe we should test the shooting effect of 1500 meters directly. " On the other side of the phone, the staff of the observation post answered very inspiring“ The recoil of the gun exceeds the expected value... I think a muzzle brake should be added to offset part of the recoil. " A technician turned around and sketched on a piece of paper with several of his colleagues and assistants. The heavy shot just now obviously exceeded the load-bearing capacity of the tiger king tank. They had to use the original plan to install a muzzle brake to alleviate the recoil impact on the whole car body“ Aiming accuracy is good. Because of the wind force, the shell has shifted a little to the right, but it is completely within the acceptable range. " Another technician said while looking at the stopwatch in his hand, and then nodded, which was praise: "the aiming speed is good, which is nearly 0.6 seconds less than the original turret."“ Any other questions? " The head of the technical director looked at other test groups, which came from various departments, including materials, smelting, and even chemical experts, as well as some representatives from Germany and Japan“ No more Other people shake their heads. After all, this test has been carried out for several weeks. For wartime weapon production, such a strict technical test is already in place. There were some problems at the beginning, but after so many solutions, most of the teams couldn't come up with any new problems. As for the muzzle brake, a new problem was discovered only after the chassis experts of tiger king tank were called in yesterday to discuss it. After all, the tiger king tank in this time and space is not a big monster with a weight of more than 70 tons, so it needs to be careful to deal with the recoil caused by the artillery“ Then, we should work out the muzzle brake with the fastest speed, and then test out the latest data... The weight added to the gun, especially near the muzzle, is a very serious problem. We need to recalculate the aiming time, as well as the impact on other aspects. " The person in charge looked at the various groups, and then concluded: "now go to solve their own problems immediately, if you can, let the latest model turret put into mass production as soon as possible." Everyone began to disperse, and several officers were standing in the corner discussing the power of the new tank turret and other issues. It seemed that they were very interested in this kind of weapon. After all, they heard that the tiger king tank on the front line performed very well. Four days later, with the signature of akkado, Speer and others, the latest Tiger King 2 tank began mass production. The German armored forces once again took the lead in the world, and once again completely defeated their rivals in equipment - Valentine's day. Longling wishes everyone a happy holiday and everyone can find a satisfactory partner, Live a happy life without shame as soon as possible//
