Several years passed after that, and it was also some years since the all-out war.

Nowadays, the original preferential policies of those cities that were annexed have expired one by one, and the taxes gradually collected have suddenly filled Daxia's finances.

This day is a very important day for Xia Qi.

Because, the Academy of Science and Technology and the Ordnance Research Department jointly reported that the dwarfs' geocentric engine was successfully developed!

After confirming the news, Xia Qi directly put aside the work at hand and headed for the testing site outside the city.

Among the several projects under development, the dwarf's geocentric engine was the one that Xia Qi finally attached great importance to.

Because according to the next development, whether he is building engines, tanks, or fighter jets, a powerful engine can be said to be crucial.

For such an important component, it would be best if it could obtain the quality and performance guarantee of Dwarf.

However, this thing is a black technology after all. Over the years, the R&D project team has conducted several internal tests one after another, but the results have always been somewhat unsatisfactory.

The last internal trial was conducted three months ago.

Originally, according to Xia Qi's original expectations, it might take a few more years for the dwarf geocentric engine to be successfully developed.

The result made him a little surprised. He thought that only three months later, the R&D project team actually sent a report on the success of the R&D!

Of course, this time the test of the dwarf geocentric engine was different from the conventional test.

Because, at this time, it has turned into the tank in front of you, that powerful heart!

This test was a joint test jointly requested by the Academy of Science and Technology and the Ordnance Research Department.

Whether an engine is powerful or not cannot be seen just by letting it idle. It depends on what kind of vehicle it is installed on.

The same engine, installed on a car, can reach hundreds of miles in a minute.

But if it is installed on a tank, the speed can be said to be quite impressive.

Therefore, if you want to verify the performance of the dwarf geocentric engine, the best way to verify it is to install it on a tank and combat vehicle and see how far it can make this steel monster on the land battlefield soar.

Regarding his latest improved work, Gondor can be said to be full of confidence this time, vowing to wash away the shame of the last time.

During a formal performance test, the track fell off. For Gondor, this was simply a stain on life!

This directly led him to completely abandon other projects in the following years and concentrate on improving the dwarf tanks of the dwarf race.

This time, the joint experiment with a project team from the Academy of Science and Technology can only be said to be a coincidence.

The research and development project team of the Academy of Science and Technology needs a tank and combat vehicle to prove the performance of their geocentric engine, and Gondor also needs a geocentric engine to make his tank and combat vehicle more perfect!

When Xia Qi arrived at the testing site, the test began soon.

First, there are some simple two-way stability tests and a series of basic performance tests such as flexible pole winding. After confirming everything, the main event will come soon.

In front of you is an artificially created test site. Basically, it includes all the terrain that may be encountered in the wild. At the same time, there are multiple artillery targets placed along the way.

The test content is very simple. You drive a tank in and shoot at the target, knocking out at least five.

If you complete a lap within ten minutes, you are basically qualified, and then you just need to wait for the actual combat test.

The testers will not let this tank run too easily. The position of each firing handle has been newly adjusted, and even part of the terrain has undergone small changes.

After the initial command was given, the geocentric engine suddenly started running at high speed, and then the steel monster roared and rushed out.

The speed displayed immediately made the group of people, including Xia Qi, exclaim in surprise.

So fast!

When this dwarf tank was tested last time, it didn't have this speed. Obviously, the geocentric engine started to work!

Even in complex off-road terrain, the speed is jaw-dropping. For this dwarf tank combat vehicle that has already reached black technology standards, the installation of the geocentric engine is simply even more powerful.

Maintaining its ferocious momentum, the galloping dwarf tanks quickly approached the first artillery target.

However, the tank had no intention of slowing down and maintained its galloping speed. The fort rotated rapidly, and its huge muzzle directly locked onto the distant artillery target.

boom!

The sound of a cannon, even though it was a training round, still shattered the entire target into pieces!

"good!"

Seeing this scene, Gondor shook his fist fiercely. The excellent operation of the four crew members also gave this test a good start!

Although you only need to hit five targets and complete a lap around the test site within ten minutes to qualify.

But Gondor, who wanted to wash away his previous humiliation, would not be satisfied with this.

I saw that in the complex wild terrain, the tank and combat vehicle kept driving at high speed and quickly rushed to the first bend.

On a road, tanks and combat vehicles fired a total of five shots, hitting two of them.

In Daxia, after all, tanks and combat vehicles are new weapons that are still being tested and developed, and there is no formal training.

After being familiar with the operation and undergoing simple training, it is already quite good to be able to achieve this level.

Looking at the situation, it shouldn't be difficult for them to hit five targets.

The key point is whether you can complete this lap within ten minutes.

After all, the test site is not a playground track. There are many disgusting obstacles and terrain along the way.

Change source app]

In the previous test, the tracks fell off when cornering at high speed, but this time, when faced with a sharp curve again, the tank vehicle not only did not slow down, but directly showed off its hand and raised the sand all over the sky.

Xia Qi's brows were raised when he saw the dust drifting around the bend.

This kind of cornering method is a great test of the quality of the track wheels. To a certain extent, this is also a performance made by Gondor to show that it has overcome the previous problems.

However, this is not over yet.

As the curve entered, the tanks and chariots that had just completed a drift around the curve had not had time to completely stabilize. They had already discovered the next artillery target and began to turn the turret directly.

A cannonball hit on the spot!

This shows two-way stability.

Although the target is dead and will not move, the super performance of this dwarf tank has been gradually revealed.

Immediately afterwards, the dwarf tanks and chariots quickly passed through the puddle area and ramp area. The next hurdle was directly a wall made of cement masonry.

With no intention of bypassing it or firing a cannon through the wall, the speeding dwarf tank crashed directly into it. With a violent noise, the entire stone wall collapsed on the spot.

At this stage, this is not so much a test as it is that they are showing Xia Qi the performance of this tank.

The dwarf tank chariot built directly from two gold-level props is indeed extraordinary.

After completing one lap, firing sixteen times and destroying nine targets, it took seven minutes, fifty-seven seconds and three.

Xia Qi could not be more satisfied with the current performance of this tank.

However, as a military weapon, performance alone is not enough, it must also be cost-effective.

If the cost is too high and you can't build a few cars, then it's pointless.

Players basically have no natural enemies in their home world, and their years of cultivation and recuperation mean that once a war breaks out, their actions are often much more exaggerated than in the real world.

Considering that he would be promoted to the gold rank next, Xia Qi figured that he would have to build 1,800 main battle tanks in the early stage.

If it is less, it may not be enough for him to fight several battles. Therefore, the manufacturing cost is also one of the important criteria for whether a military weapon can be put into production.

Gondor naturally knew this in his heart, so he quickly handed over the folder in his hand.

Opening the file, there are several pages of content.

On the first page, what comes into view is an analytical diagram of the tank's internal structure, with a lot of numerical information below.

Regarding these contents, Xia Qi was not in a hurry to jump over them. In order to have a better understanding of Daxia's main battle tank, Xia Qi felt that he still needed to take a closer look.

This tank, in combat mode, with all ammunition and crew, has a total weight of fifty-six tons!

The car is 8.1 meters long, 3.9 meters wide and 2.8 meters high.

As for speed, this is a more complicated issue.

Here, it is roughly divided into two types: highway speed and off-road speed.

Highway speed refers to the speed of high-speed driving on the highway, or the speed of driving on some flat terrain.

Off-road speed, of course, refers to the speed of driving in the wild.

For example, the venue used for the tank and combat vehicle test this time simulated a wild area, and the off-road speed was also measured.

According to the data written on this data sheet, the maximum road speed of this tank combat vehicle is 89 kilometers per hour.???????????????

Off-road speed is 64 to 71 kilometers per hour.

The reason why there is such a fluctuation is because it depends on the terrain. Different terrains will have different effects on the speed.

As a fifty-six-ton ​​tank, Xia Qi was already very satisfied with this speed.

In addition, the current maximum road range is 497 kilometers, the maximum cross-country range is about 336 kilometers, it has six pairs of road wheels, and the main gun is a standard 125mm tank

gun.

At the same time, Gondor also installed a Gatling heavy cannon as a secondary weapon.
