xx Design Institute.

Mo Xiaoping led his team to finally complete the manufacturing of the first prototype car. The car was parked in the center of the assembly workshop, which was very eye-catching.

A design supervisor: "Mr. Mo, it's time to conduct a river navigation test next."

"right!"

Mo Xiaoping answered very affirmatively. The model of this amphibious chariot can pass the pool tow test, and the theoretical speed can reach up to 27.3 kilometers per hour. So how fast can it be conducted in the river channel?

He is very looking forward to it!

I have long wanted to verify that the actual maximum speed will be higher than 27.3 kilometers, or will there be a certain distance?

However, before the river test progresses, some necessary inspections and tests are still necessary, which took several days.

Some are fine.

Mo Xiaoping personally led his team to prepare for river testing. The location was the Yangtze River. Because the river was wide and close, it was rare that there was a section of river flowing slowly and smoothly, which was the best place for experiments.

"Mr. Mo, you can set off."

As soon as he walked into the assembly workshop, a technician in charge of the test reported this way. Mo Xiaoping waved and said, "Yes, then go to the river."

The amphibious armored combat vehicle started and drove out of the assembly workshop. There were also several technicians sitting in the car, and Mo Xiaoping's car followed behind.

It is not far from the Yangtze River, and it will be on the Yangtze River in about 20 or 30 minutes. This is a relatively secluded river beach with a flat and wide terrain. In front of it is a wide river surface. This amphibious armored chariot can be launched here.

The tank was parked on the river beach, and the technical and testers did the final inspection, especially checking whether each sensor and test instrument were normal and reliable.

"Mr. Mo, everything is normal and you can go into the water."

Mo Xiaoping felt a little excited. Looking at the hard-working sample car, he prayed, "You must not let me down, you must drive more than 25 kilometers per hour."

Taking a deep breath to calm the excitement, Mo Xiaoping said loudly: "Start the river channel test."

"yes!"

Several technicians and testers answered loudly almost in unison. They were all very excited. They worked hard for so long to see the river test.

The chariot started again!

Drive forward and soon enter the river water. The front and rear baffles are opened and adjusted to the most appropriate angle. It heads towards the middle of the river surface. After reaching the appropriate position, it begins to drive along the river surface.

Obviously accelerating.

The speed is gradually accelerating!

Mo Xiaoping and others stood on the river beach, staring at the chariot, and did not dare to leave at all. There were several backbones of their team standing next to them, and some people were holding walkie-talkies in their hands, constantly communicating with the test and technicians on the chariot.

"Mr. Mo, use a telescope."

Someone handed over the telescope.

Mo Xiaoping was not polite either. After taking it, he took the telescope and looked at the amphibious armored chariot moving on the river.

It's getting faster and faster!

An excited sound came from the walkie-talkie, the speed has reached 25.6 kilometers per hour, and it can continue to increase.

Mo Xiaoping waved: "Enhance the accelerator and see how much the maximum speed can be reached."

This order was conveyed to the control and test personnel of the chariot through the intercom, and the speed of the amphibious armored chariot is still increasing.

This is the Yangtze River. Although this section is relatively secluded, there are still some ships sailing on the river surface. Cao Liangmin is a ship boss who has been in the river transportation for 20 or 30 years and often transports things and things in the Yangtze River. Today, his ship is full of cargo and is sailing downstream.

Suddenly, he was stunned!

I seriously thought I had read it wrong, and I looked like a ghost!

A distance of more than a hundred meters, he suddenly saw a tank sailing on the river and coming from behind, and was about to surpass his ship.

What's going on!

When can the tanks sail in the water like ships, and the speed is so fast?

He immediately shouted, "Xiao Xu, come here quickly, come here quickly!"

Xiao Xu was over thirty years old. He had worked as a soldier in an armored division, drove tanks, and drove armored vehicles. After retiring, he followed Cao Liangmin to carry out ship transportation.

Cao Liangmin said loudly: "Xiao Xu, look at it, is it a tank?"

Xiao Xu was shocked when he saw the fast-moving amphibious armored vehicle and completely forgot to answer.

I stared at the chariot blankly, watched it pass past, and then gradually went to the front, leaving the ship behind, getting farther and farther away.

"Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu..."

Seeing that Xiao Xu was always in a dull state, Cao Liangmin was startled and shouted loudly with a little concern, shouting several times in a row.

Xiao Xu finally came back from the extreme shock and murmured: "Uncle Cao, that's not a tank, it should be a new type of amphibious armored combat vehicle."

He has worked in the armored division and is very familiar with tanks and armored vehicles. He also knows that the speed of such tanks in the water is generally the same as a "snail", with a speed generally within ten kilometers per hour, and only a few can reach more than ten kilometers.

The one in front of me is at least 25 kilometers!

Is this our newly developed amphibious armored combat vehicle?

Too awesome!

In the shock, he felt a little excited and proud in his heart. He did not expect that our country had successfully developed such an advanced amphibious armored combat vehicle.

On the river beach.

Mo Xiaoping held the telescope and was watching the amphibious armored chariot moving on the river. Seeing that the speed was getting faster and faster, his heart was slightly excited.

The sound from the walkie-talkie made him unable to calm down. "Report to Chief Engineer Mo, the maximum speed has reached 28.9 kilometers per hour."

Unbelievable, it was actually close to 29 kilometers!

The wheels and tracks are loaded into the car body, and the front and rear baffles are adjusted to a suitable angle, so the speed can reach 28.9 kilometers.

Although this is going down the water, the water flow here is smooth and the influence of the water flow is actually not very big.

Mo Xiaoping personally picked up the walkie-talkie and said loudly: "Change the direction, go up against the current, and measure the maximum speed to reach."

The chariot turned on a beautiful large radius on the river surface, changing from downstream to upstream, gradually, the speed became faster and faster, and there were a large area of ​​white water behind the car.

In the countercurrent, the fastest travel speed exceeded 26 kilometers. Suddenly, everyone felt relieved that the travel speed in the water completely exceeded the request made by the military.

This river channel marching experiment was very successful and the results were very gratifying.

After returning, Mo Xiaoping picked up the phone and reported to the relevant leaders in person. Then, another call was called to the East China Sea Ship Design Institute.

Yang Fan is in the office.

A familiar voice from Mo Xiaoping came from the phone, "Chief Yang, I want to report good news to you!"

Report good news to me!

Yang Fan Yile guessed what was going on and asked: "Mr. Mo, did he conduct a river test of the prototype car and ran at a good speed?"

Judging from the time, the first prototype car should have been manufactured, and some tests may have been carried out, including river channel tests.

It's true!

Mo Xiaoping said: "You are really imaginative. We just conducted the first river test. We ran a speed of nearly 29 kilometers per hour while going upstream, and could reach more than 26 kilometers when we went upstream..."

He roughly introduced the situation at that time.

After listening, Yang Fan was happy, "Such outstanding results, Mr. Mo, congratulations."

Mo Xiaoping said: "The main reason why you have such excellent results is that the design plan you provide is too clever, otherwise we will still be wandering for more than ten kilometers."

Another thank you.

After answering the call, Yang Fan felt relieved and seemed very happy.

I thought to myself that this is an excellent amphibious armored combat vehicle. If we have a large amphibious assault ship in the future, it will definitely be installed on this ship.

The amphibious assault ship of the future!

Which model will it be?

Yang Fan naturally thought of the future 075 amphibious assault ship in his mind.

I just don’t know when the design argument of this ship will start, when the design will start, etc.

…………

The Type 054 missile frigate was being built in an orderly manner. The first ship began to build the platform, and the No. 2 ship also began to enter welding.

The entire 054 project is strictly confidential, but some countries finally know about this frigate.

Among them is the United States!

The success of the Type 052 missile destroyer made the Americans a little nervous. They did not expect that we could design and manufacture a second-generation missile destroyer with phased array radar, missile vertical launch system, and 730 near-defense gun system.

Now, they learned a new situation. According to what they knew, this great Eastern power was designing and manufacturing an advanced missile frigate.

What they are more worried about is that this may also be the second-generation missile frigate.

Suddenly, relevant US intelligence agencies began to investigate secretly and tried their best to understand the Type 054 missile frigate, especially their spy satellites, which increased the monitoring of several possible shipyards in our country.

Of course, our intelligence department is not a vegetarian. The American movement has attracted the attention of relevant intelligence departments.
