"This is our new tractor."

Sodaval pointed to a large tractor in front of him and said to the three of them. Yesterday's wine fight had no big impact on those who were still young. Today, the three of them visited the new products of the machinery factory under the leadership of Sodavall. Um... It's not at all if there is no impact. They originally planned to visit in the morning, but because they had a good time yesterday, it was only in the afternoon.

Biak, who was fighting for wine last night, looked in front of him, and praised the tractor that was still shimmering with metallic luster before being painted. "really not bad."

As the leader of the three, Herk cared about data most, so he asked. "Can you ask me the data of this tractor?"

"of course can."

After replying, Sodaval began to introduce the data of his tractor. "This tractor is 4.25 meters in length, 1.6 meters in width, and 1.7 meters in height. Its body length is 3.05 meters. The power is a four-cylinder 80-horsepower horizontal diesel engine developed by Professor Diesel. I believe you are familiar with this diesel engine. "

"It is indeed no stranger, we are all familiar with it."

Wang Chaoqiang answered Sodaval. They only used this diesel engine as the power of the tank last year, and of course they know the bottom line about this diesel engine.

"This tractor can run at a speed of 35 kilometers in the mountains. This is the case with a full load of goods."

Herck commented impartially. "Very good product."

Biak didn't speak, but he gave a thumbs up, meaning the same. Seeing the performance of the two of them, Sodaval was happy to show them something new.

"We are also developing other products based on this tractor. Do you need to take a look?"

"of course."

Sodaval then led the three to another workshop, and he told them on the way. “When we designed this tractor, we were ready to extend it to other types. For example, bulldozers, excavators, etc. are all new products we developed based on this diesel engine. So this 80-horsepower four-cylinder horizontal The diesel engine is the key to the development of our machinery factory."

Herk heard Sodarval's implication, but couldn't help asking. "So, do you plan to continue to invest in research and development of diesel engines?"

"Why not?"

Sodaval turned his head and asked Helk, seeing that you Helk did not answer, he went on to talk about it. "Our cooperation with Power Lab will continue. The only problem now is the level of sales, which will determine our continued investment."

Hearing Sodarval's ambitious words, the three couldn't help thinking of the Volkswagen factory. With the Model T and two trucks, they have been dominating the European car market for many years. In the past few years, a 5-ton heavy truck has been developed. If the war broke out to stimulate the sales of trucks, especially the 5-ton heavy truck that can travel on complex terrain. Regardless of sales, only from the perspective of research and development, Volkswagen has been ineffective in recent years, which makes the three feel heavy.

But the three immediately put their concerns about Volkswagen behind, because they walked to another workshop and saw a tracked vehicle. This is what they need to care about for the three people who are now taking the task of developing a new tracked tank. Now it's time to take a look at the best tracked vehicle factories in China, what can we learn from.

"This is the bulldozer we developed."

Sodaval pointed to the crawler bulldozer with the thick shovel head in front of him and said. "This is the bulldozer we developed."

The belt bulldozer was successfully developed by American Benjamin Holt in 1904. It was formed by installing a manpower-lifting bulldozing device in front of the crawler tractor. At that time, the power was a steam engine, and then it was successfully developed by natural gas. Crawler-type bulldozers driven by gasoline engines, and bulldozer blades have also evolved from manual lifting to wire rope lifting.

The bulldozer invented by Benjamin Holt caught the attention of the director of Portos Rico, who had been considering the types and sales of the machine factory's products. He can see the role of this machine in engineering infrastructure at a glance. He estimated that the market for this machine is definitely not small, so he also asked the machine factory to develop a model to compete with its counterparts in the United States. This tractor is much better than Holt’s own factory. First, they replaced the steel wire fixing with steel structural rivet fixing, which can improve its firmness, and also changed the power to a diesel engine.

But for the three people, these are secondary, mainly because this bulldozer is equipped with a unique suspension system. Independent cylindrical spiral spring suspension system. The machinery factory installed an independent cylindrical spiral spring suspension system on this bulldozer. The intention was to prevent the tractor from shaking too much when it was working. As a result, the fastest running bulldozer was created. When Sodaval introduced interesting facts about this suspension system, the three of them couldn't help but want to drive it by themselves.

"I will let you see it."

Sodaval met the requirements of the three, and he hired a test driver to let him drive on the proving ground. The three were dumbfounded as they watched the fast bulldozer running on the complex test site.

"Look at it without slowing down after driving through the pit."

Biak among the three yelled at the bulldozer speeding in the proving ground, and the other two behaved similarly to him. Don't blame the three of you for having such a big reaction, mainly because they were completely injured by the suspension system of the first tank.

In the first tank they designed, the three directly used the non-independent suspension of the car, which is the rhythm that the members of the tank want to vomit. They also had no other way, and the funds given did not allow to redesign a suspension system, so the 37 short gun on the tank was inaccurate at a distance of 300 meters. And because it is a non-independent suspension, it is easy for the tank to have various minor problems during driving. This is also because it is not an independent suspension.

Now they are looking at an independent suspension system that might be used on tanks, how could they be excited. And at present, it seems that this suspension system can make the tanks they designed easily meet the requirements of the military. But before that, we need to ask about the reliability of Sodaval's suspension system.

Thinking of this, Hurke asked Sodarval next to him. "Is the suspension system of this car reliable?"

"So far we have not found any problems~lightnovelpub.net~ why do you want to use this suspension system."

Facing Sodarval's question, Helke said without hesitation. "Yes, we really want to use it in the new tracked armored vehicle. Can you introduce this suspension system?"

"no problem."

Sodarval explained the main principles and data of the independent cylindrical spiral spring suspension system to Helke. Standing next to him, Biak and Wang Chaoqiang both pricked their ears and listened to Sodarval's explanation in full. Hearing that the principle is to convert the vertical movement of the road wheel into the expansion and contraction of the spring, and the resulting elastic deformation provides the support for the car body, they couldn't help but admire the technicians of the machinery factory.

Who would have thought that it was just a change of thinking, which is to make the tracked vehicle equipped with this suspension system walk fast. For this reason, the trio thought that they were right this time, and they knew that they should come to Ploiesti several times.

PS: Ma, I feel that my title is wrong, so let's do it without changing it. ()
