If not for anything else, just for the future 99 tank to have the anti-stabilized image fire control system they developed, Xie Kai must rush back.

The structure of the lower counter is simple, the accuracy is not particularly high, and it is okay to use low-grade equipment that belongs to the equipment of the troops like the Type 96 main battle tank, and it can be used on the Type 99 of the main force in the future, which is obviously not enough.

The Type 99 tank is the world's top mainstream tank, and there is almost no gap with foreign advanced main battle tanks.

"If you really want to use this project to apply for funding? On the plane, Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai with some concern. "We can still come up with this little money for fire control system research, right?"

"It's not about the money. Xie Kai shook his head, "I wish the boss that when they engage in design, they must consider choosing a reasonable balance between cost and technology." This is not a good thing, especially for future-oriented main battle tanks. ”

Xie Kai said.

Although Mr. Zhu will not give up on building an advanced main battle tank for the sake of cost, but now that the 404 has suddenly appeared, no one can say.

Historically, China has not had such a 359 tank as the tank, which sold thousands of tanks in the international market.

The technology used on the sold tanks is generally not adopted on a large scale in domestic main battle tanks, just for national defense and security.

The performance of the 359 tank is greatly improved compared with the 85II tank, and in some respects, it even exceeds the 96 series main battle tank, which has a relatively large number of domestic equipment and forms a high and low match with the 99 tank.

125 mm tank guns, Chobham composite armor, etc., are the top technology in China.

The more advanced the tank, the higher the cost.

In order for the 99 tank to meet the needs of the future national main battle tank, it is necessary to make the performance more than the 359 tank, but every time it is improved, the cost increases not a little.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so long, and the third-generation tank team led by Mr. Zhu hadn't even fully determined the design plan.

"Did Mr. Wang go to our side too?" Xie Kai asked.

Usually work and communicate with them, it is the management committee that contacts them.

201 is under the jurisdiction of 404, which was originally only to study the fire control system of combat vehicles, but now with sufficient personnel to replenish it, it is also studying the fire control system of fighters and warships.

The radar research team under 404 can be said to be based on the personnel of the 201 Institute.

As the chief engineer, Wang Xingqiao, the father of the three generations of tank fire control in China, mainly focuses on the stable image fire control system, although Xie Kai once won the debate, this more energy is to improve the accuracy of the lower anti-stable image fire control, and the upper anti is currently only conducting some basic research.

"It must be. Before Mr. Zhu left, he passed, didn't there be a batch of 359 tanks for export and domestic sales? The design standards for the fire control system and tank guns are different from the original, and the prototype has been produced and is about to enter ......the testing stage," Zheng Yucheng said. "Also, with the increase in test items, some flaws of the Flying Shield-359 have also been exposed, which are also the accuracy of firing between the marches. The production of new samples at the Hongqi plant is also waiting for the new system. ”

At present, the production task of Hongqi Machinery Factory is mainly to develop and produce samples for various weapons and equipment in the base, and the rest of the production capacity only processes some core key equipment.

As a professional business aircraft, the Y-10 cabin is much wider than the Y-8, and Xie Kai, who took this plane for the first time, did not pay much attention to studying how different the plane was from what he imagined.

The first mission of the Business Y-10 was to transport milk-producing alpacas to Xie Kai's son Xie 619!

"The Flying Shield-359 is also a fire control system?" Xie Kai asked.

Zheng Yucheng nodded.

Xie Kai stopped talking.

For him, it is clear where the technical flaws of the Flying Shield-359 are.

So far, it has been relatively easy to develop, but it is not easy to improve performance.

It just so happens that these are the defects caused by the electronic technology that China lacks the most.

"The Y-10 is still fast, and the Y-8 is too slow. When he arrived at the 404 airport, Zheng Yucheng sighed.

On the runway next to the airport, three F-14s are taxiing towards the runway, which is preparing for night training.

It didn't take long to return to the base, but now every time Xie Kai came back, he had a feeling that a long time had passed, and the two sides of the airport were no longer as directly bare hillsides as before.

The huge construction site seems to have been reduced a lot.

"In the past six months, the changes in our base have not been small. You see, on both sides of the road to the airport, greenery is starting to be done. Zheng Yucheng said in a snort.

Xie Kai really didn't pay attention before.

Originally, there were bare Gobi on both sides of the road, but now small trees more than one person tall are planted on both sides at intervals, and the bottom of the trunks of these trees is still insulated by grain grass.

These old guys are now determined to make this a long-term base.

"Aren't you afraid of U.S. satellites now?" Xie Kai was a little speechless, and at the entrance, he actually lit the street lamp like this.

"What are you afraid of? The satellites of the Americans will not be able to see this area at all. Otherwise, they wouldn't know about such a big construction project here?" Zheng Yucheng said.

The Americans blew their satellites hard.

"......" Xie Kai didn't know how to answer.

For a long time, although I don't believe that the US GPS system can clearly monitor anywhere in the world this year, I also know that the US GPS has been networked globally.

"Didn't you get Lao Maozi's satellite communication frequency before? Now we wonder if we can get the Americans' satellite system...... The Soviets' satellites are too far away from our side......" Zheng Yucheng's words made Xie Kai's mind even more complicated.

The people in the base actually began to think about invading the satellite system in the sky!

But it's also a good thing.

In future wars, electronic warfare is very crucial, control and counter-control.

I just don't know if these people in the base are from the electronic warfare squad of the special operations brigade or professionals engaged in satellite research.

"Please help send these to Mo Ying's house tomorrow. ”

In the cargo hold of the Y-10, there are some color TVs and refrigerators sold by Gome Electric, which are not only sent to Mo Ying, the old man, but also to each person on the management committee, and there are also people who have a good relationship with Xie Kai's parents.

Sending some electrical appliances is nothing to Xie Kai.

There are not many TVs in the base, there is a staff activity center, and there are not many people who have TVs at home.

As for the air conditioner, Xie Kai didn't send it.

It is not hot in the summer, and although it is cold in the winter, there is a heating supply, and there is almost no air conditioning.

"Let's go, go directly to the management committee, and contact Lao Wang and them before I come back, at this time, Mr. Zhu is discussing with Mr. Wang. Zheng Yucheng said.

The car was parked right in front of the management committee.

On the outside, I feel that the base has changed a lot, but inside, there is no change at all, and even the headquarters building of the management committee is still so old.

No one would look at it and think that this is the headquarters of China's most profitable company.

“...... The performance of the lower anti-stabilized image fire control system is much stronger than that of the disturbance fire control system of the Type 37...... Whether it is tested in various environments, or the performance shown in actual combat is very good, with high shooting accuracy and flexible response......"

When Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng arrived, Wang Xingqiao was fooling the one-armed boss Zhu Yusheng to directly adopt the downward anti-stabilized image fire control system on the 99 tank.

"Mr. Wang, although the reverse style is good, there will be a big pause when attacking on the move, which is also a big weakness for modern warfare where the battlefield environment is becoming more and more harsh. The cost is not low......" Mr. Zhu shook his head and said.

It's not that he doesn't know that a stabilized fire control system is better.

Originally, I wanted to use this fire control system, but the result was good, and 201 was taken into the hands of 404, as an independent research and development project, according to market rules.

404 Robbery is like a bandit, the thing is good, and the cost is ridiculously high.

Originally, I came here to understand the technology of the lower anti-stabilized image fire control system studied by 201, but after reading it, I found that there was not much improvement.

There is no way to follow the movement completely, and the tank must slow down when attacking on the march to ensure the accuracy of the shot.

"Mr. Zhu, the lower anti-stabilized image fire control system is indeed somewhat unsuitable for the army's needs for future main battle tanks. And the disturbance Type 37, a technology imported from the UK, is okay for second-generation tanks, and it is even ......worse than the lower anti-stabilized image fire control system for third-generation tanks," Xie Kai walked in with a smile.

Whether it is Mr. Zhu or Mr. Wang, except that his face looks much older, there is no other change.

Inside the conference room, there was smoke, which was the most common for Xie Kai.

"You're back, kid? I said I was looking for you. Mr. Zhu looked at Xie Kai and smiled.

Xie Kai really didn't know what Mr. Zhu was looking for him.

Except for fooling Mr. Zhu at the beginning, he doesn't seem to have much intersection with this big guy.

"Mr. Zhu, we were originally going to visit you, but you have a lot of old things, and it is rare to have free time all day. Xie Kai said with a smile, "Mr. Zhu came here for the fire control system, right?"

Zhu is so busy with his third-generation tanks all day long that he doesn't even have much time to go home with his family.

"What do you think?" Mr. Zhu looked at Xie Kai and asked with a smile.

"Some of the previous technical solutions have been demonstrated on the 359, and Mr. Zhu is currently worried that the cost of the main battle tank designed according to the current technology is too high, right?" Xie Kai asked.

Only if there is too much conflict between cost and technology, will Mr. Zhu be so entangled.

When I came to Xie Kai in person, it was more likely that it was a matter of cost.

Technical questions?

404 is also all over the country to pit technicians to develop it.

"Yes. At present, this is the case, we are engaged in it for the domestic army, and the output will not be high, so the cost is not affordable for the domestic army......" Mr. Zhu did not hide it.
