Mhamad's last stop in China is Inner Mongolia.

A grass-green tank was ready to go in the shooting range, with high gun barrels and low turrets. The chassis of seven pairs of heavy wheels seemed so powerful.

A one-armed old man stood there looking at the tank, his eyes full of pride.

Beside him was a large group of military personnel, several of whom were foreigners.

"After several years of testing, our tank has now been successfully finalized." The one-armed chief squad said to Mhamad on the side: "Our tank has been officially named the Type 90 tank."

In later generations, China's Type 90 tanks were just an improved model of the Type 85 tank. Although its performance was advanced, it could not compete with other tanks in the 1990s. It was just a transitional model.

Now, this type of Type 90 tank is already the most advanced tank in the world!

Everything is thanks to the 1,500-horsepower engine from Pakistan! This engine from the Leopard 2 tank made the Chinese tank designers no longer restricted by the engine when designing it, and the tank's self-weight was also magnified to more than 50 tons.

Now, this tank uses a chassis similar to Leopard 2, a 1500-horsepower engine, a hydraulic automatic transmission, torsion rod suspension, and first-class maneuverability. At the same time, with the firepower that China has always attached great importance to, the 125mm tank gun, and the kinetic energy of the gun when it is out of the muzzle. The protection ability has already been added to the original armor, and a layer of reactive armor is added outside, which has even better performance.

"This tank has good performance," said Mhamad. "After your country's army is officially equipped, we will also conduct verification. If appropriate, we will also produce a batch in Pakistan."

Pakistan is now producing the subsequent Leopard 2 tanks under the contract. By the end of this year, the last batch of Leopard 2 tanks will be ready for delivery.

The advancedness of the Leopard 2 tank is unquestionable, but the Leopard 2 uses 120mm cannons, four drivers, while the Type 90 tank is 125mm cannons, three drivers. Moreover, the turret of the Type 90 tank is lower, and in tank battles, the low turret means a smaller bullet area. Westerners are all very large. The Asians are smaller, and the tanks designed for Europe do not take into account the size of the Orientals. Therefore, the Chinese tanks should be more suitable for the Eastern battlefield.

Historically, Pakistan imported tanks from China, with the improved Type 90 model named mbt2000, but the diesel engine was replaced by Ukrainian products.

However, now Pakistan's main tanks are all 120mm guns. If they are replaced with Type 90 tanks, the cannons will have a 125mm caliber, which will cause logistical burden. However, there is no way to do this. After all, these Type 90 tanks are equipped with automatic ammunition filling machines and cannot be exchanged with 120mm guns.

"The successful development of our tank is inseparable from the help of our Pakistani friends." The one-armed chief teacher said: "I took the lead and led the development of this tank. I thought it would take more than ten years to develop it. Now, it only took five years to equip the troops. President Mhamad, on behalf of our entire development team, I would like to express my gratitude to Pakistan."

Now, the engines in the tank are all made in Pakistan, and without this 1,500 horsepower engine, the finalization of this tank is nowhere to be achieved.

"Technology is constantly improving, and our tanks also need to be continuously improved to adapt to future wars." Mhamad said: "Especially electronic technology, the future development direction of tanks will be informatization and networking. At the same time, the tank's own performance, engines, armors, and artillery need to be continuously improved."

Just as Mhamad finished speaking, a roar of an engine came from a distance, and the rumbling sound far exceeded any kind of tank.

Mhamad looked over and saw a tank with a turret tilt with its main armor coming, and the tracks stirred the grass and squeaked.

m1 tank! This is the American m1 tank!

"How is the performance of this tank researched?" asked Mhamad.

This tank is the Indian tank seized by the Pakistani army during the East Pakistan War. This is a US-made tank using gas turbines!

After the capture, Mhamad certainly would not put it as scrap iron. Two of them were sent to China and handed over to the Germans. The Germans were very interested in winning a treasure and exchanged several industrial technologies with Pakistan.

The car sent to China was for Chinese military workers to study.

"The performance of this tank is indeed unique." said the one-armed chief engineer. When he was studying the tank, he regarded the American m1 tank as a target. Now, he has seen this tank with his own eyes and can test the various performances of this tank and dismantle one of them. The one-armed chief engineer is very grateful to Pakistan.

At the same time, these days, they have already understood the performance of this tank almost completely.

As he was talking, the speeding m1 tank had arrived and stopped amid the creaking sound of brakes. Several young technicians were afraid of coming out of it and brought a lot of equipment.

"Teacher Zhu, we re-tested it. The acceleration performance of this tank ranged from 0 to 32 kilometers per hour, which only took 5 seconds. The maximum off-road speed exceeded 72 kilometers per hour, which was better than our tank and better than our previous Type 69 tanks." The technician said.

m1 uses a gas turbine, which has a large torque and fast start. In later generations, even if it was changed to m1a2, the total combat weight was 65 tons, and the acceleration performance was only 7 seconds. Now, this basic type of m1 tank has a total weight of only 54 tons, and its maneuverability is even better.

"The gas turbine gives the tank a strong maneuverability." said the one-arm chief engineer: "It's a pity that we can't produce this kind of engine ourselves."

Huaxia lacks aerodynamic power, and gas turbines are based on strong aerodynamic power.

"Did you find the disadvantages of this motivation?" asked Mhamad.

"There are few parts, high efficiency and low weight. If it is a disadvantage, it should be fuel-consuming." said the one-armed chief senator.

"Yes, it's just fuel consumption!" said Mhamad. "This kind of engine is not suitable for being installed on a tank, and the fuel burden will be quite heavy."

In later generations, the Soviets' T-80 was changed back to a diesel engine. The Americans planned to improve the gas turbine, but eventually became a diesel engine. The gas turbine was the equipment cycle on the main battle tank, which was considered to be the end.

Even the US imperialists with rich wealth and complete logistics cannot hold it, let alone other countries, neither China nor Pakistan can be equipped with this power.

Of course, research is necessary. After all, this is also the advanced technology of the United States.

"What inspired us most is the armor." The one-armor chief said: "We decomposed another tank and carefully studied the main armor of the m1 tank." The one-armor chief said: "We found that the American m1 armor uses epoxy resin as a restraint to constrain hexagonal ceramic blocks with a diameter of 10 cm. When the armor-piercing bombs and armor-piercing jets hit the ceramic, the broken ceramic blocks and powder are squeezed inward by the restraining ring and fly out in the opposite direction of the armor-piercing bombs or jets, hitting the core or jets of the bullet, and improving protection capabilities. This method is much better than the armor of the t-72 tank we have come into contact with. Our own armor can further improve bulletproof capabilities if arranged in this way."

The m1 tanks equipped in India are not the most advanced depleted uranium armored tanks, but only ordinary armor. However, even ordinary armor is definitely not ordinary, because this is the technology of British Chobam armor! Historically, the British sold their Chobam armor technology intact once and sold it to the United States. The Germans bought it only a downgraded version of the technology.

This kind of armor is a kind of restraining armor technology, with more outstanding bulletproof performance. Sometimes, it is not a change in materials, but just a structural change, which can improve a level.

"We plan to produce the Type 90 tank at low speed. In the later models, we will replace this updated armor. If Pakistan needs it, we can completely export these armor technologies to your country."

Help is mutual. Pakistan has helped China a lot. China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times. A drop of water should be repaid with a spring. Although armor technology is the top secret technology of a country's defense industry, China can still export it to Pakistan without reservation. This is the love of brotherhood!

"That's great." Mhamad said: "Our own tank will have more advanced performance! We in Pakistan will definitely produce such advanced tanks!"

"At the same time, we are also developing new armor-piercing bomb technology, using higher-strength tungsten alloys to improve the components of the launching drugs, so that the armor-piercing bombs can have stronger armor-piercing capabilities." The one-arm chief sergeant continued: "Especially, we have learned a lot of inspiration when we dismantle the ammunition of the United States, especially the components of the launching drugs. After we analyzed it, we found a way to improve our own launching drugs."
