Many people seem to have some misunderstandings about tanks.

When two people talk, what's so difficult about building a tank? To put it bluntly, isn't it just a matter of building a car and mounting a cannon on it? It's very simple! What technical difficulties could there be?

If you insist on saying that, there's nothing you can do about it, but it's really not that easy to get a car and put a cannon on it.

Let’s talk about the power device first. Is there anyone really stupid enough to think that building an internal combustion engine means they can build a tank?

The performance of internal combustion engines is also divided into three, six or nine. Look at the current military transport vehicles. They don't even dare to install a few more armor plates on them, because once the materials are loaded on the vehicle, it will probably not be able to drive.

The engine output power is insufficient. Can you drive a thirty to forty ton tank?

At this time, someone was wondering, why can the battleship move?

Because a battleship is one to two hundred meters in length, you can put an engine as big as a room on it, but can a tank fit inside it? To be honest, the size of a battleship engine alone is not much smaller than a tank.

.

Now to get back to the topic, according to the current technology, it is obviously unrealistic to develop an engine that can allow the tank to do whatever it wants.

Technical problems like this often cannot be solved in a short time. In this way, the only choice is to control the tank tonnage. Instead of thirty or forty-ton tanks, build a ten-ton or ten-ton light tank.

Come out to the head office, right?

Okay, after making a choice and barely solving the power problem, let’s look at the weapon system.

The main weapon of the tank is, of course, the long main gun.

But according to the tonnage of a light tank, if a 125-caliber main gun is installed on it, can its small body be able to bear it?

Don't just fire the gun when the time comes and you'll end up in trouble.

Therefore, for the sake of safety and also considering the stability of the entire tank and combat vehicle, it is best to control the caliber below 100.

Now let’s talk about the protection system. The most direct one is the armor plate. On the battlefield, the tank has to charge into battle, and the soldiers behind it charge with the tank, so the armor plate must be thick enough and have strong defense!

But now comes the problem. Because the front power unit is not very powerful, if you install too many armor plates and are too thick, it will be too heavy and cannot be driven.

In this way, in order to ensure mobility, you can only relatively reduce the thickness and quantity of armor, or shrink the turret, or even directly replace it with a relatively light weapon.

Following this pace, you will soon be able to build a tank that, at best, is called balanced, but at worst, is nothing special.

After being sent to the battlefield, you will find that your tank, which has average maneuverability and insufficient armor defense, simply cannot show the combat effectiveness you expected.

Finally, I came to the conclusion that I was like a fool, spending a lot of money on this currently very low cost-effective thing. If I have the spare money, it is better to equip the army soldiers with two more grenades and get a body armor.

How about upgrading the rifle?

Yes, you successfully built the tank, but we can achieve the same results using cheaper and more cost-effective methods.

This is also the main reason why players don’t have tanks and combat vehicles at this stage. They are not stupid, and many problems have not been solved yet. Why spend so much money now to make something with such low cost performance? Wait until all aspects are considered

Wouldn't it be better to solve all the problems and get it right in one step?

This is what players are doing at this stage.

Of course, in addition to the above things, there are actually many things to do on the tank.

For example, a two-way stabilizer for a gun.

To put it bluntly, everyone should know that the turret on the tank can rotate.

It can even be done such that the main body of the tank below turns to the left, and the tank turret turns to the right.

The function of the artillery two-way stabilizer is to ensure that the artillery will not be affected by these factors during the movement and steering of the tank, so as to carry out stable artillery fire.

This thing is very important, because it determines the artillery accuracy of this tank to a large extent.

It is no exaggeration to say that when judging whether a tank is powerful or not, whether its two-way stability is awesome or not is also a very important judgment factor.

After all, as long as the cannon fails to hit the target, it's all for nothing.

And the technology in this thing is also great.

Of course, you can also build a fixed turret, but in that case, why would you build a tank? When we build tanks, we value the mobility of the tank on the battlefield. At the same time, the rotation of the turret allows it to attack the enemy from all angles.

There's no way you can spend so much money just to get a front-row meat shield, right?

If you are in a tense war and have no time to produce later, it is understandable to make a compromise and build a fixed fort, but it would be too frustrating to go for the fixed fort from the beginning.

In addition, there are communication devices. You must also install a communication device in your tank, otherwise you will be deaf and blind on the battlefield.

Then there is the electrical equipment, which is definitely required. Otherwise, how can you run so many devices on your tank?

At the same time, in more detail, there are many more.

If you want to install so many devices, equipment, and weapons in such a limited space, you have to test your design capabilities.

There is a saying that goes well: insiders watch the door, while laymen watch the excitement.

To a layman, if you look at tanks and battleships, they seem to look the same, and you won't be able to tell the difference even after looking at them for a long time.

But some experts are able to give an accurate model number after just two glances.

To give a simple example, let's take Yuan Xi. Luo Ji doesn't know much about the battleships when he looks at them now. But if you just point to a fleet and ask Yuan Xi, how are those battleships, he will do it in minutes.

Let me tell you a lot.

Yes, tanks have been around for a long time, but combined with various technical difficulties, in the history of the real world, tanks actually only really came into being during World War II.

As for the tanks and chariots of the dwarf civilization in the Tang and Song Dynasties, although Luo Ji did not see their performance with his own eyes, Kalgan had actually arrived in the sky with his troops at that time, so he saw some of them.

Just listening to Kalgan's report, Luo Ji knew that this dwarf tank was simply a piece of black technology.

Are you kidding me? At this stage, a tank of thirty or forty tons can run and fight. With good maneuverability, its defensive power is also quite amazing. It can withstand even two attacks from Hydra.

Isn’t this black technology enough?

After bidding farewell to the Tang and Song dynasties for a while, Luo Ji walked briskly back to his camp where he was temporarily resting. Then he quickly opened the system panel, sent a message to Ye Qingxuan, and at the same time directly transferred the dwarf tank to the

The gold-level blueprints were traded.

Obviously, according to the situation on the front line, he won't be able to make it back in a short while, but he must study this dwarf tank first, and the sooner he can build it, the better.

In this way, it became the most convenient way to deal directly with Ye Qingxuan and let Ye Qingxuan handle the matter.

After finishing all these things, it was almost getting dark outside.

Luo Ji had simply eaten some dinner and was already ready to go to bed.

After all, the long-distance running before could not be fully recovered by sleeping, and he was still very tired now.

Until Wang Kai, the guard captain next to him, reminded him...

"Your Majesty, Lieutenant Colonel Gert is still holding Pompeii Rand on standby under the sea."

When Luo Ji heard this, he slapped his forehead. Well, as soon as these things happened, he accidentally forgot about Gert.

"Wang Kai, go and confirm whether the personnel of other forces have left the port outside. After confirming, find a hidden location and let Gert catch Pompeii Rand. Be careful, stay hidden.

Try not to be discovered."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
