"Let me report to my superiors first. What are you doing, kid?"
Upon seeing Shen Ding, Major General He actually picked up a file from the table and began filing his own Pu'er tea cake.
"Brother Feng, you can't finish all of this by yourself. I'll take some back to treat the guys down here!"
"Every time you come here to take advantage of deals, you completely strip my office bare!"
"Hehe! Consider this a tip for your trouble, Brother Feng. You should go and report it now. I'll help you tidy up here."
"Don't touch anything else!"
He Yunfeng put the internal documents on his desk into a drawer, locked it, and left the office.
They arrived at General Hua's office in Miaoli.
Miao Lihua, the father of the Type 90 tank in China, is also the director of the Fifth Research Institute of the Army.
He devoted his life to developing the Type 90 tank, the king of the army.
We are now facing pressure to upgrade and renovate the laboratory we previously worked with at Dalian University of Technology.
We're collaborating on this project, but the other party hasn't been able to offer any reasonable suggestions, causing the project to be delayed again and again.
"General Miao, are you busy?"
Major General He entered the office and gave Miao Lihua a standard military salute.
"Look, this is information sent back from before the Gulf War."
Just this year, negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait over oil issues broke down.
The United States launched the famous "Gulf War".
China's frontline reporters and insiders have also obtained firsthand information about the current military equipment of the United States.
Major General He took the documents from General Miao's hand.
Upon opening it,
[M1A1 Main Battle Tank Performance Data and Tactical Analysis in Complex Environments]
According to the information in the document,
As the main battle tank of the United States, the M1A1 is equipped with an M-256 120mm tank gun.
It is also equipped with two 66mm smoke grenade launchers, a coaxial machine gun, and a commander's machine gun, making its firepower and tactical configuration more versatile.
With 80mm of steel plate protection, using depleted uranium alloy and a new ceramic interlayer, its armor-piercing resistance has been further improved.
It is powered by an AGT-1500 gas turbine, which is superior to the diesel engine used in China's Type 90 tank.
They are much stronger than just a little bit.
"These are the opponents we'll face in the World Tank Championship-1990?"
General Miao lit a cigarette and nodded.
"This is our first time participating in such a global military competition."
Whether we can show our strength to the world depends on our Type 90 tank.
By the way, any news from the power system lab at Dalian University of Technology?
Major General He rubbed his palms together, and upon hearing this, he broke out in a cold sweat.
"There is a preliminary design plan to use a larger displacement diesel engine."
It has now entered the experimental phase.
"Diesel engine? The Americans are using gas turbines now. How many horsepower do they produce?"
"In an ideal laboratory environment, it can reach 600 horsepower."
"600??? The Russian T-90M tank now has 880 horsepower."
The M1A1 has already reached 1500 horsepower, 600 horsepower. Are we going to go abroad to win glory or to become a laughing stock for others?
At least 900 horsepower, that's the minimum standard. If it doesn't meet that, we'll find a different partner!
After saying this, General Miao stubbed out his half-smoked cigarette and unconsciously shook his head.
He immediately lit another one.
"General Miao, however, I recently participated in the National Machine Competition, and one of the schools may have the capability to develop a 900-horsepower power system!"
"Tell me, right now the most important project for the Army is the development of the Type 90 main battle tank; all other projects must give way."
Tell me if you have any difficulties, and I'll handle it directly!
"General, it's not that the other party has other people's research projects, it's just that you may not have heard of this school!"
"So what if I haven't heard of it? White cat or black cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat."
Stop playing coy with me, tell me, which school?
"Lanxiang Vocational School!"
"What? Lanxiang Technical University??? What kind of diploma mill is that? I've never even heard of it!"
General Miao served as the chief designer and person in charge of the Type 90 tank. The university also boasts a top-tier engineering and science university and a mechanical engineering laboratory.
I know this Lanxiang Technical University like the back of my hand, but I have absolutely no recollection of it.
"It's not a university, it's a vocational school!!!"
General He, a towering 190 cm tall man, was so weak that he almost bent over when he said those words.
"A technical school? The Type 90 tank upgrade project is being designed and developed by a technical school?"
"Major General He, did they give you too much? Or is the principal a relative of yours?"
For this kind of R&D project, let alone ordinary 985 or 211 universities, without top-notch research capabilities, you wouldn't even qualify to bid.
To take over, you need to be reviewed by the Fifth Research Institute of the Army before you have a chance to compete.
"I thought it was nonsense at first, but look, this is the analysis of Lanxiang Vocational School's performance against Dalian University of Technology in the China Robotics Competition."
General Miao quickly flipped through it.
"You mean to say that Lanxiang Vocational School beat Dalian University of Technology?"
"It's not like you just dry it and then rub it on the ground, leaving the machine as nothing but a pile of scrap metal!"
"No! Absolutely not! Do you know the significance of the Type 90 tank upgrade project?"
This is the Army's biggest R&D project this year! Giving it to a technical school?! What kind of system is this?!
Major General He couldn't say anything either; decisions on this kind of project were simply beyond his purview.
However, the upgrade project for the Type 90 tank is of great significance.
If Lanxiang can provide a better design solution, it will greatly enhance the army's capabilities.
That was groundbreaking.
"General, the finals of the China Robotics Competition are about to begin."
"If Lanxiang Vocational School can win the championship, could we consider cooperation?"
General Miao coughed, almost dropping his cigarette from his mouth.
General Miao knew about the China Robotics Competition; it was called a competition.
It was just another selection competition for an army research institute.
They are in charge of developing combat robots for new-era information-based warfare.
General Miao was quite surprised that a vocational school like Lanxiang could make it to the finals.
"Okay! If you have the title of champion in the China Robotics Competition, Lanxiang Vocational School can participate in the bidding for the design proposal."
But it has to be the champion; even the runner-up is out of the question!
"Yes, General Miao! I will keep a close eye on the progress of the competition!"
"Okay! You go back first. Oh, and keep a close eye on things at Dalian University of Technology too. If there really isn't a better design, then..."
At once........"
"I understand!"
Miao Shang himself was well aware that, in the field of large military diesel engines and gas turbines,
The gap between China and the United States is at least several decades.
It's almost impossible to catch up in a short time, unless you overtake them on a curve!
