Chapter 884

For tanks and armored vehicles, the thicker the armor, the better! I believe every new military fan must have felt this way after seeing the data of tank armor. But is this the case? I believe that after knowing more relevant knowledge, it is not difficult to find that the armor thickness of early tanks is generally inversely proportional to the trafficability, and it is difficult to achieve unity between defense and mobility.

The discovery of armor equivalence solves this problem well. The Soviets have obviously come to the front, which can be seen from the tanks during World War II.

When the impact speed is 2610fps and the armor is vertical, the 57mm gun penetration depth is 4.2 inches, while when the armor is at an inclination of 60, the 57mm gun penetration depth is 1.5 inches. The ratio of the two is called the inclination effect, and the ratio here is 2.8.

However, looking at the black cloud George Barton military vehicle, the armor equivalent value did not reach the maximum. Why is the old guy so excited? Is there any surprise in it.

No one dares to underestimate the engineer who is over 80 years old. After all, his identity is too shocking. As one of the designers of German tank No. 8 during World War II, no one dared to question his authority in vehicle armor.

Many people don't know tank 8, but when it comes to the name, it's a thunderous existence.

No. 8 tank rat; It is a super heavy tank designed by German Porsche company at the end of World War II. The total combat weight is 188 tons. It is the heaviest tank at that time. It is precisely because of the extremely heavy body that the cross-country ability of the rat tank is very poor, and finally miscarried due to the lack of practical value.

This type of tank is mainly produced by Krupp and assembled by alkett. Only two tanks are produced, and one is unarmed for verification only. Equipped with a 128mm main gun and a 75mm coaxial sub gun, it was enough to destroy any armored vehicle at that time.

The development history of tank 8 can be traced back to the investigation report of the German army on Russian T-35 tanks a, B and C before the war. It is rumored that the Soviet Union is developing a tank weighing 100 tons. This seemingly powerful "land battleship" has deeply attracted the German head of state.

Professor Ferdinand Porsche, a famous German tank designer, proposed the development of super heavy tanks when meeting Hitler. The latter immediately appointed Porsche as the chief designer to develop a combat vehicle similar to the Soviet Union's 100 ton tank.

In addition, Krupp received an order from the army weapons Bureau as early as 1941 to develop a combat vehicle similar to the Soviet Union's 100 ton tank. So the designers of Krupp company have done a lot of research on the development of 110, 130, 150 and 170 ton tanks, but none of them has gone out of the drawing stage and become a real vehicle. Because of their heavy body shape, the first code name of these super heavy tanks was called "mammoth", which was later renamed mouse type in order to confuse the enemy's intelligence.

After mid March 1942, the Porsche depot received a contract to produce a new 100 ton model 205 vk10001 Porsche 205 tank. In mid April 1942, the German army weapons Bureau added that the bomb load of the new tank should be as high as 100 rounds. In May 1942, at the personal request of Adolf Hitler, Professor Ferdinand Porsche and Dr. Muller of Krupp began to cooperate in the whole plan. Hitler also demanded that the tank should weigh 180 tons, be highly protective, and be equipped with high-performance 128 mm tank guns 55 or 71 times the diameter or 150 mm guns; So far, the mouse tank has been officially finalized.

Although the mouse tank did not play much role in the war, it can drive nearly 200 tons of weapons and equipment to fight on land. It is estimated that only the Germans can think of it and have more strength to do it.

The old engineer who just spoke is the German Mouse tank armor designer, which shows his attainments in armor equivalence.

It's amazing to see that Thyssen can develop such a superior vehicle. At the same time, it also has a strong interest in the designer.

The old engineer said, "mia, did you design this car! It's really young. It seems that Germany's rise is unknown. "

The evaluation was really a little high, which embarrassed the pretentious MIA von lehart. After all, he didn't design this car. It's a little related, but it's not very big.

Mia von lehart: "Dr. Muller, is this car really so much! To tell the truth, he is not a German designed product. The most shell armor is designed by Thyssen company. The armor you just said is equivalent. It's a little bit, but it's unreasonable in many places. "

Dr. Muller was disappointed to hear that it was not MIA von lehart's design. After all, only when this car really understands people can it know the greatness of shape design. The designer has taken many factors into account, and ordinary people can't see his mystery at all.

Dr. Muller smiled and said, "can you tell me which company designed this military vehicle and who the chief designer is?"

Muller is the only old engineer left in Germany, and his achievements were no worse than those of Ferdinand Porsche. It can attract his attention, which shows the superior performance and outstanding design of this military vehicle.

Mia von lehart knew Dr. Muller's character and could only tell the truth: "this car is designed and manufactured by heiyun automobile, and the chief designer is Bao Zixuan, chairman of heiyun group. Thyssen is responsible for the armor part and Motorola is responsible for the communication part. "

Although Dr. Muller retreated to the second line, he still paid attention to the development of world industry. I heard that it was developed by heiyun group, and baozixuan served as the chief designer. Without saying anything more, I can only feel that the future industrial leaders may not belong to Germany.

Dr. muller can't do without talking. After all, people are still waiting for his answer. There are engineers on the site. If you don't understand the problem, you can't even sleep well at night.

But I dare not say more. The main thing is that Dr. Muller is very eccentric. As long as it is related to experience, after all, not everyone can survive the war.

Mia von lehart knew that only she could ask questions, and only she dared to ask questions at present. So he tried to say, "Dr. Muller, is there anything special about the shape design of this car! I hope you can explain that I'm not afraid of your jokes, even though I haven't figured out what's going on. "

Hearing this, Muller smiled and said, "it seems that you still don't understand the mystery; The shape of this car is definitely the most practical design. It can be said that all the problems that can be considered have been taken into account. "

"Although the angle of each inclined plane is different, the equivalent armor is different. But have you found that the armor equivalent can reach the maximum in the most vulnerable areas. Where it is not attacked, the armor equivalent is very small. This is the designer's wisdom. If we blindly pursue the maximum armor equivalent value. Then the design will become very strange and even not suitable for combat. "

"The shape will not be as beautiful and smooth as it is now. It is taking all the problems into account that such a classic model is designed. I'm not a soldier who has experienced many battles. I can't see the mystery. "

"It's just a little puzzling. How did heiyun group do it with such a huge amount of computing."

"Since I retired, I have always wanted to design a similar armored vehicle. Only because the amount of calculation is too large, it has not been realized. Now when you see this military vehicle, the previous research is meaningless. "

When Dr. Muller finished, everyone understood why the old man was so moved. Mia von lehart was even more shocked. The appearance was considered so comprehensively. It seems that the strength of baozixuan is stronger than expected.

Dr. Muller's direction is right. He didn't develop it just because the calculated value is not enough. The black cloud group does not have these problems. After all, the application of large industrial computers makes all this simple.

The Germans are still relatively traditional. Many aspects have not been applied to large-scale industrial computers, and industrial software is in its infancy.

Mia von lehart seemed to understand something at this time, that is, the computer operator who worked with them before. Black cloud designers will input each design element, step and link into the computer. Then the computer will give improvement plans and suggestions. Now it seems that many are not designed by engineers, but calculated by computers.

The future industrial design must be inseparable from computers. Black cloud has come to the front again. If Thyssen wants to surpass, he still needs to make more efforts in computer.

After that, Dr. Muller entered his own world again and constantly tested the George Patton military vehicle.

Everyone is not surprised. As long as he is happy, he is better than anything. Mia von lehart has also completed the test task and can take a satisfactory result to baozixuan.
