Chapter 56: Building a Tank with Internet Thinking (Part 2)
In the future, if someone intends to count the main features of the Internet, I believe that although the collected answers are destined to be strange, the characteristics of cheap, open, shared, popular, advanced, and intelligent will definitely rank at the forefront of collecting answers.
If these characteristics of the Internet are extracted and penetrated into the product design and development, a batch of things that are completely different from traditional products will be obtained.
Before the Internet or before the Internet was popularized, the design and development of traditional industrial products relied on factors such as function, manufacturing, quality, and current market demand as guiding principles.
If Internet thinking is brought into traditional industrial product design and development, the guiding principles will make a huge difference, such as from focusing on product functions to focusing on product experience, from focusing on manufacturing itself to focusing on the sense of technology brought by manufacturing, from focusing on quality to building a brand, to anthropomorphic product celebrities to guiding the establishment of fans, from focusing on current market demand to leading the future development trend.
After the new century, a series of events such as the giant enterprise Nokia, Motorola's sudden death, Apple's rapid rise to power, and Xiaomi's rise all interpreted the typical application of Internet thinking in traditional industries.
Of course, since Liang Yuan came through it earlier, it was impossible to know that because someone was passing the blame, Internet car manufacturing almost became a fraud project that everyone called for.
What will you get if these Internet thinking are brought into the design and manufacturing of tank products?
It will get a series of conflicts or non-conflict characteristics such as cheap, easy to use, intelligent, advanced, multi-functional, platform-based, node-based, informatized, and other features.
For example, advanced intelligence will inevitably conflict with cheapness in a sense.
Although Internet thinking has had a huge impact on traditional industries, it is far from subversive, and even the influence of the industry is limited to related industries closely linked to the electronics industry. Later generations have also summarized a well-known joke on various real or fake Internet products that are rushing towards them. Technology is based on shell replacement.
But this joke, which is a bit complaining and a bit ridiculous, brought Liang Yuan real inspiration.
Well, first throw laser range measurement, image stabilization aiming, 125 artillery, reactive armor, etc., what will you get if you change the tank's shell first?
You said you would get a ball?
It is said that the ball is killed after being pulled out. The spherical tank is a product played by the Soviets. How can I use the Internet thinking so scheming and full of fraud? uh~~~ technology-oriented words.
This replaceable shell must have radar stealth shape, overall it must be a dispersed module, maintenance must be easy to install and disassemble, cost must be low-cost, function must be infrared-reduced~~~.
If all these can be achieved, this shell will have development value. As for what is truly related to the Internet, the electronic equipment in the tank will not be matched with the shell that Liang Yuan is thinking about for the time being.
Thanks to the pressure of Professor Tiemi at that time, although he had been put down for many years, Liang Yuan's engineering drawing level was still at a level that could be understood. When Liang Yuan unfolded the simplified picture of this shell, Balabala talked about his design ideas and expected functions, Zhu Yusheng was a little confused.
I have only heard of long insects molting and changing shells in turtles these days. I have never heard of tanks changing shells. This brain circuit is simply untuned.
Of course, the reason why Zhu Yusheng didn't kill someone at the first time was because of the three-view sketch of the light tank drawn by Liang Yuan on the drawing.
Someone readily learned from the appearance of the pl-01 stealth tank jointly developed by the British Bae Defense Group and Poland in later generations. Although the line drawings drawn by Liang Yuan are definitely impossible to be used as engineering drawings, this mature design style reflected by supercomputer verification and high-speed accumulation of more than 20 years of stealth technology brought great shock to Zhu Yusheng.
Since computers began to enter the aircraft design industry, there is a saying in the aircraft design industry that gradually becomes truth over time - aircraft with truly excellent performance are as beautiful as handicrafts, and this view has been truly verified on both third-generation fighter jets and fourth-generation fighter jets.
The United States and Europe are both good. After the invisibility concept was born, it was not unthinkable that it would be applied to tank design. However, due to the limitations of computer performance, the invisibility concept is immature, and there are no reference targets and other conditions, the designed finished products cannot be seen at all. The stealth tank prototype launched by the United Defense Company in the 1970s and 1980s gave people the first impression that it was a tank rather than a tank.
There is a skill that is well-known in the military industry of the Republic, which is called "a glaring at me" and you can get pregnant. This sentence is not nonsense. As for the black history of plagiarizing the exhibition samples sent by others under the name of the exhibition, I feel embarrassed to mention it.
The concept of stealth is not confidential for cutting-edge scientists in scientific research like Zhu Yusheng and Li Yuanling. What is confidential is the design principles and specific design data. Based on years of tank design experience, Zhu Yusheng intuitively felt that the sketch of Liang Yuan based on the pl01 stealth tank was a playful thing, and it was not obtained by thinking about it out of thin air.
Strictly speaking, the pl01 stealth tank is the first time that humans have seriously used mature stealth technology to develop after the new century, rather than various modifications based on antique platforms in the Cold War in the 1970s. Zhu Yusheng's keen intuition is certainly not wrong.
It’s like a gourmet encountering peerless food, and the navigator discovered land that was not on the map. Zhu Yusheng threw Liang Yuan aside, stared at this simple three-view and looked again and again, hoping that he could directly see the design data and design principles.
Since Liang Yuan did not hide the intention of Zhao Tianshi, let alone Zhu Yusheng, Zhao Tianshi, who was watching, was shocked by this three-view sketch. Although senior executives like Zhao Tianshi vaguely knew that the group had involved arms transactions and were preparing military R&D institutions, the shock that pl01, which was known as science fiction tanks in the new century, brought to Zhao Tianshi in the early 1990s, was conceivable. Zhao Tianshi suddenly magnified Yuanjia's strength in the military field. He really thought that the group was a hidden big crocodile. He never expected that this picture was purely a copy of someone's writing and plagiarism. The big crocodile that Zhao Tianshi imagined did not exist at all.
"Comrade Xiao Liang, where did this piece of paper come from?"
After a long time, Zhu Yusheng asked with a serious face.
Zhao Tianshi also waited for Liang Yuan to answer with curiosity.
"Of course I got it from home."
"Who did I mean that this picture was drawn?"
"I drew it, I said it was just me who drew it casually!"
Someone looked innocent and Zhu Yusheng failed to communicate.
