Domestic car manufacturing is weak, what does it have to do with our land tanks?

“Has the latest carburized composite steel from the Materials Research Institute been tested?”

Wang Fengnian also knew that it was useless to fuss over it.

In the end, they still had to find a solution.

If there was a breakthrough in the research institute, they could still work hard. They wouldn’t have to stare blankly now.

“Director, the last time the research institute failed in its trial production was less than three months ago. The reason was that the process and chemical reagents were unstable under high temperature and high pressure. The process is still being improved in the latest cycle. It is estimated that it will be difficult to get results in a short time.”

Liu Changming said

“well……”

After these words were spoken,

Wang Fengnian could only sigh.

If there was no breakthrough in materials, then they were really helpless.

Although special steel was not as difficult and complicated to develop as aviation carbon fiber, it was a mature industry chain after all.

It was not a project that could be achieved by breakthroughs. Besides, the domestic top leaders did not attach much importance to it. As long as the progress stagnated and a few more failures hit their confidence, the research and development funds would be less and less every year.

“Otherwise… move the R&D lab in the United States over here and make me some depleted uranium alloy to play with.”

“Our armor strength and technology can be taken to a higher level.”

Wang Fengnian muttered.

Depleted uranium is a byproduct of the nuclear fuel process. It was originally nuclear waste, but the United States did not expect it to be developed and reused. The depleted uranium alloy produced was made into a mesh structure, embedded in a steel matrix to make armor blocks, and then embedded in the tank shell, and finally evolved into depleted uranium armor.

From the technical and actual combat experience, depleted uranium armor is almost the most bulletproof composite armor in the world.

Similar depleted uranium bullets were also born from this, with higher penetration and strength and toughness than tungsten alloy cores.

The United States has kept this technology highly confidential.

At present, the smelting, heat treatment and armor block manufacturing of depleted uranium alloys in China are still in the exploratory stage. The difficulty of developing this technology is no less than that of aviation carbon fiber.

“Director, you are joking again.”

Liu Changming said with a smile.

This is simply a fantasy, but it must be said that the United States can always take the lead and monopoly in emerging materials.

These are first-mover advantages.

It is not easy for China to catch up to this level.

Every step is the blood, sweat and hard work of the older generation.

And their generation is also a link between the past and the future, and they need to be brave and diligent to keep this momentum of catching up.

“Oh, Director, I have a question, but I don’t know if I should ask it or not.”

Liu Changming seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

“If you have anything to ask, just ask.”

Wang Fengnian raised his head and gave him a strange look.

He thought to himself, this student of his has never been so hesitant to ask a question.

“You said… Is it possible that domestic enterprises can produce special steel comparable to the outer armor layer? ?”

Liu Changming couldn’t help swallowing his saliva.

He didn’t know why he asked such an outrageous question.

It all came from a video he watched online.

He felt that this was possible, but he thought it was too absurd.

“Hmm? Special steel produced domestically……”

Wang Fengnian was stunned for a moment, and then he actually thought about it.

“If it is a high-tech industry chain, it should be possible.……”

“But at most it is just close, and it should be impossible to surpass it.”

Wang Fengnian said.

The domestic industrial chain is so developed now, and it is also the most complete industrial chain in the world. Its degree of internal circulation is not just talk.

Some steel and products made by ordinary enterprises can be used for military purposes in small and medium-sized countries.

Some time ago, there was news that a gas tank produced by a Chinese enterprise was actually purchased by a small country and turned into a rocket, and the key effect was good.

Because the quality of the steel produced by China is so good!!

Many people laughed directly after reading it!

This is definitely a realistic magic joke.

When Wang Fengnian saw this report, he saw the sadness of small countries without industrial strength.

This is how China got through it.

So.

It is normal for China’s complete industrial chain to produce something close to military quality.

After all, the industrial chain is a thing that has always been passed down from generation to generation.

Some civilian enterprises can occasionally have unexpected breakthroughs.

But if you want to surpass the things developed by the real military industry department, the probability is very small.

Every year, so many academicians and high-tech talents, the huge amount of funds invested is no joke.

“”Tell me first, did you make some new discoveries… why are you asking this question all of a sudden?”

Wang Fengnian asked with a hint of curiosity.

“Director, please take a look at this video.……”

“I think if the video released by this company is not fake, then I think it is very likely that the performance of the steel they make has surpassed the existing tank external armor.”

Seeing this, Liu Changming immediately took out his mobile phone.

What he saw was the test video that went viral on the Internet after the Hongqi new car was released.

Wang Fengnian glanced at the beginning of the video and was immediately surprised.

Wow.

Two heavy trucks came directly to attack from the front and back!!

Now civilian car companies…are playing so fierce??

Their military armored vehicles will also be deformed by the collision!!

When Wang Fengnian saw the name of the car company’s brand, he felt familiar again. It was”Hongqi”!

This is the familiarity from the older generation.

As the first traditional car manufacturing company in China, it was once known as the”eldest son of the country”

“It actually held up, and barely deformed… or broke!!”

“This instant impact will have a force of at least a thousand tons!!”

Wang Fengnian was very surprised!!

From this test alone, it is enough to show that the material used to make the car body and the main anti-collision beam is extremely hard!

It is not enough to be hard, it must also have super toughness.

Otherwise, under such extreme impact, it will definitely break in the first place!!

A question instantly emerged in his mind.

How did a civilian enterprise produce steel with such strength?

Could it be that it came from the military industry? ?
