My Italian
Chapter 540: Water tank plan
While the Navy is working hard to strengthen itself, the Army has not fallen behind, and now they are working on some gadgets.
The Faustino training ground is a medium-sized training ground under the army. The ground covers an area of 27.6 square kilometers. There are mountains, hills, sandy fields, swamps, rivers, and basically all terrains in the field.
The Army conducts some battalion-level training subjects at the training ground every year, mainly to test the small-scale tactical use of the Italian Army.
Of course, in addition to tactical drills, the training ground also has some other functions, such as artillery test firing, machine gun test firing, battlefield use of military trucks or the test of some other technical weapons.
Today, in a corner of Faustino's training ground, a unique experiment is going on.
Trenches, barbed wire, tunnels, ditches, horse denials, bunkers, these fortifications turned the site into a mess, full of potholes. In addition, it rained yesterday, and there was not even a place to go, and there was mud everywhere.
And in such a bad situation, a strange tracked vehicle appeared here. Why is this car strange, because the track of this car is higher than other tracked cars on the market, and in addition to the track is higher than other cars, its body is also different from others, its cab has no window, Only a small viewing hole was opened. And the car is also taller than other tracked vehicles, at least two meters five in height. And the car looks square, like a tin can.
The car looks weird though, but it doesn't do anything weird at all. I saw it came to a steep slope, the crawler covered with yellow mud was pressing on the slope, the roar of the diesel engine in the car pushed it up the steep slope, and then it went down the **** to a few sections of barbed wire, also without pressure. Overwhelm the barbed wire and stakes through. Immediately afterwards, there was no pressure on the puddles and tunnels, and they were all passed. Just when the people behind them wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, the strange crawler suddenly turned off with a thick smoke.
"Quick, check what's the problem this time."
Lieutenant Colonel Valorum, the project leader behind him, was nervous, and immediately greeted others to come forward to check.
I saw a few engineers running forward with tools and began to check the cause.
At the same time, the strange tracked roof suddenly opened a door, and a soldier with a greasy face climbed out, and then three more soldiers climbed out of it. The weather in January is actually relatively cold, but these soldiers are wearing single clothes, and the sweat on their foreheads shows that the temperature in the car is definitely not low.
"What's up with Fellaini?"
I saw Valorum asked one of the people who climbed out of the car.
"Lieutenant Colonel, we don't know either. We only know that before the crawler experimental vehicle stopped, it suddenly heard a few clicks and then turned off." Fellaini, who was called by his name, was covered in oil stains. Answering the lieutenant colonel's question.
After he finished speaking, he took out the cigarette from his jacket pocket, and after a circle, he lit one beautifully.
As for Lieutenant Colonel Valorum, he ignored the test crew and went up to inspect the crawler with a few engineers.
"The car is so hot, it's designed to be airtight, and it's so uncomfortable."
"Who said no, the observation hole is so small, it really requires considerable observation to drive this thing well."
"If you want me to say, the tracked vehicle we are currently driving is the most reliable. The previous ones were basically broken on the road, but this one didn't break until after the test was completed. It's already very good."
While the car groups were chatting, a few engineers finally discovered the problem.
"There was a problem with the power rod. A screw fell off and got stuck at the connection, which directly caused the engine to stop."
An engineer who was checking the situation wiped his body carelessly with oil on his hand, and informed Valorum of the cause of the malfunction.
"Hurry up and restore the power lever, and you will need to continue testing for a while."
Hearing this was the reason, Valorum felt relieved.
As the person in charge of the water tank project, Valorum was under a lot of pressure.
That's right, the project is called a water tank, and it is claimed that they are developing a field water supply vehicle. As for why it is called a water tank, he is not quite sure, it may be because the water tank is more confusing.
As a field water truck, the complexity of the battlefield situation must be taken into account, so it is reasonable to use a tracked vehicle to increase terrain adaptability. Of course, considering the dangers of the battlefield, adding a little bit of protection and self-defense firepower is also logical.
At least that's what they answered when asked about other fraternal units.
However, as the project leader, Valorum knew that what they were developing was a battlefield breakthrough weapon, a tracked chariot that integrated protection, firepower, and mobility.
It sounds exciting, very high-end, but in practice it really makes people high-end.
At present, the project has been in progress for nearly three years, and there are more than ten tracked combat vehicles developed. Lie down. And he didn't just lie down once or twice. When he experienced the most, a test had to be repaired on site seven or eight times.
It's not bad to be able to repair it on site. What he is most afraid of is the kind that can't be repaired and can only be dragged back. That's really terrible. However, this situation was basically encountered in the early experiments, and it gradually improved.
As for now, it's not a small improvement until it can be tested.
Boom, boom, boom!
A roar sounded, interrupting Valorum's thoughts. Seeing that his chariot had finally recovered, he quickly greeted the test team.
"Come on, try another lap again, I need the reliability of this car, at least it needs to be able to complete the test without failure in front of General Benoy."
Valorum's words lifted the hearts of the rest of the project, who also wanted to show their faces in front of higher authorities to let them know that every money they spent was not in vain.
The motivated project staff looked at the restarted crawler with anticipation. Next, in the eyes of everyone present, this strange tracked vehicle underwent another simulation experiment, and the vehicle did not have a single failure during the entire experiment.
Looking at the parked test car, the project team immediately gathered around it and cheered. Everyone sang and danced, venting their inner joy. After three years, I can finally see some results. It's not easy, it's not easy, it's not easy.
Returning to the project that day, Valorum picked up a pen and paper excitedly and prepared to report to the higher-level department. The crawler test prototype vehicle passed the simulation experiment and could proceed to the next stage of research and development work.
