A technological powerhouse starts to develop a wrong technology tree from Type 59

Chapter 60 The cost is a bit expensive!
"Lin, I'm not questioning your Yan Country's military strength, but can your Yan Country produce a 760 horsepower tank engine?"

Hearing Lin Chenran's words, Salman frowned and asked in a somewhat doubtful tone.

He knew that this advanced engine technology had always been mastered by a few countries, and Yan Country did not seem to have much advantage in this regard.

"Isn't the 760-horsepower four-stroke V-12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine the same engine that is installed on the T72 tank of the Russian bear?"

Salman's eyes became sharp, and he stared at Lin Chenran, trying to find a flaw on the other's face.

Salman interrupted Lin Chenran's conversation directly, his voice full of doubt and dissatisfaction: "Lin, is Yan Country going down the road of purchasing again and purchasing a batch of 760 horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engines from the Russian bear?"

Facing Salman's questioning, Lin Chenran smiled slightly and signaled the other party to stay calm.

"Salman, my friend, I know you are anxious, but please don't be anxious."

Lin Chenran consoled him, “Although we do not have a 760-horsepower four-stroke V-12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine, we plan to purchase an entire production line and the corresponding production technology from the Russian bear.”

"And we have already started to contact the Russian bear, and I believe there will be results soon."

Lin Chenran said confidently.

Then he continued: "Our Apocalypse tank is an export tank."

"Its biggest advantage is that it can be assembled with existing internationally advanced parts, and then with the basalt special steel developed by our 077 Machinery Military Factory, the strength of such a tank cannot be underestimated, and it can even compete with the main battle tanks of the Russians and the Eagles."

"When the engine breaks down, you can just replace it with a brand new 760-horsepower four-stroke V-12 V-46 diesel engine."

"Of course, you can also import it from the bears like we did."

"And your relationship with Mao Xiong is so strong."

Lin Chenran explained briefly, as if to say, "I'm thinking about you."

Of course, Lin Chenran will make an agreement with them later, that is, the 077 Mechanical Military Factory must first introduce the 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine from the Russian bear.

Later, they introduced or directly purchased a large number of 760-horsepower four-stroke V-12-cylinder V-46 diesel engines.

……

The armor thickness of each part of the Apocalypse Tank is:
Turret front armor: 300mm thick high-strength composite armor, using advanced materials and technology, can effectively resist attacks from various artillery shells and missiles.

Side armor: 150mm thick side skirts provide additional protection.

Rear armor: The rear armor is 150mm thick and protects the important parts of the vehicle from rear attacks.

Turret side armor: 200mm thick sloped armor, which increases the turret's defense.

Armor behind the turret: 150mm thick rear hatch armor to prevent the enemy from breaking through from the rear.

When the representatives of the Saudi Kingdom in the Camel Region saw the thickness of the armor of the Apocalypse Tank, their eyes lit up with gold.

They knew that such armor thickness meant that the tank had strong protective capabilities.

In previous test experiments, 100mm basalt special steel plates were able to withstand the armor-piercing shells of the Soviet T72 tank at a distance of meters.

This makes them full of expectations for the Apocalypse Tank.

And now the armor thickness of the Apocalypse tank directly exceeds 150mm, which makes them ecstatic.

The Soviet tanks will definitely not be able to penetrate the defense of the Apocalypse tanks.

"Abdul, I have to tell you in advance that because the special basalt steel is relatively scarce, the cost of the Apocalypse Tank may be relatively high."

Lin Chenran spoke to Abdul in a serious tone.

He gave Abdul and other Saudi representatives from the Camel Region a heads-up. Hearing this, Abdul laughed heartily: "Lin, no matter how expensive it is, we in the Camel Region Saudis can afford it."

His eyes were firm and confident, and he didn't seem to care about the price.

In fact, the Saudi representatives in the Camel area did not really consider the cost issue.

After all, their country has abundant oil resources and strong economic strength, and can afford the high cost of military equipment.

In the next two hours, Lin Chenran gave a detailed introduction to the approximate parameters of the second-generation main battle tank, the Apocalypse tank, designed and developed by his own 077 Mechanical Military Factory, and demonstrated its powerful performance and advanced technology to the many Saudi representatives from the Camel Region present.

Overall, the Saudi representatives in the Camel region were very satisfied with the Apocalypse tanks produced by the 077 Mechanical Arsenal.

Except for the 120mm smoothbore gun in front, which is a bit unsatisfactory.

But Lin Chenran told them that they could use Yan Country’s 120mm smoothbore cannon.

You can purchase the 125mm smoothbore gun from the Russians or the Americans.

This made them slowly put their minds at ease.

Who would choose a small-caliber 125mm smoothbore gun when they can use a larger-caliber 120mm smoothbore gun!

They also had some concerns about the 760-horsepower four-stroke V-12 V-46 diesel engine.

Will Russia sell the technology and production lines related to its 760-horsepower four-stroke V-12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine?

In general, whether in terms of firepower, protection or mobility, the Apocalypse Tank perfectly meets the expectations and requirements of the Saudi representatives in the Camel area.

Its powerful combat capability will make it a trump card in the hands of Saudi Arabia in the Camel Region, and may even change the pattern of the war.

This makes Saudi Arabia in the Camel region full of expectations for the deal.

"Lin, please give us fifteen minutes to discuss." Abdul made his request to Lin Chenran.

"No problem!" Lin Chenran agreed happily.

He understood that the Saudi Kingdom in the Camel Region needed time to discuss the next steps, so he gave the other party sufficient time without hesitation.

Afterwards, Lin Chenran stood up and signaled the senior executives of the 077 Mechanical Arsenal to follow him and leave the meeting room first.

Give the Saudi representatives in the Camel area enough time and space.

Soon, only the Saudi delegation from the Camel region was left in the conference room for negotiations.

Lin Chenran and others went to another meeting room to wait for the results.

Song Xiyun approached Lin Chenran and asked quietly: "Chenran, do you think this transaction will be successful?"

Whether the cooperation can be achieved is related to whether the second-generation main battle tank designed and developed by itself can take a crucial step forward.

"Mr. Song, don't worry, it should be fine."

"You also saw that they were very interested in the Apocalypse tanks of our 077 Mechanical Arsenal."

Lin Chenran replied very confidently.

Saudi Arabia also needs a powerful tank in the Camel area.

The Apocalypse Tank gave them a glimpse of a different light.
