Walking to the driving position, Xiao Jinzi patted the dust on the seat with his hand and sat on it.
But when I pressed the start button, I found that the car didn't respond at all.
"what's the situation?"
Ma Tao looked at the interface that was still completely black and asked Xiao Jinzi strangely.
"I do not know……"
Xiao Jinzi sat there and thought in surprise for a while, then turned around and stood up, and then began to check the chariot in various places. Soon, he found out the reason why he had arrived early.
It turns out that this Panther medium tank combat vehicle has no engine at all at the moment. Not only does it not have an engine, it doesn't even have a C device. The only equipment it has is the main gun and chassis.
"I found the reason, this car has no engine and C device"
After finding out the reason, Xiao Jinzi looked at Ma Tao.
Sure enough, Ma Tao had just vaguely guessed this possibility. In this way, the V24 equipped on Xiao Jinzi's current jeep, the C device they found before, and the 105 cannon currently carried on the minibus should all be like this. In other words, it is very likely that the person who buried these tanks and equipment was the same person.
''what to do? ''
Xiao Jinzi glanced at Ma Tao, looked at him and asked.
"What should I do? The C device is on my car. Now you immediately remove the V24 from your car and replace it with the previous BUL engine. Then install the V24 engine into this car. Take a look at this one first. Can the car be used?”
What Ma Tao is most worried about now is not the engine or the C device, but whether the tank can still be used normally. You know, this vehicle can still be towed without engine parts, but if this vehicle is... If a scrapped car or the chassis is completely unusable, even towing it out will be a big trouble.
"No problem, I'll go now"
Xiao Jinzi agreed, turned around and climbed out of the car to disassemble the V24 engine he had just installed before.
Although switching back to the BUL engine will return the No. 2 Jeep to its previous armored state of more than 700, there is no other way. The size of this Panther medium tank is here, and the specific tonnage is because there is no C The device is not visible yet, but it is definitely not light in weight. Whether the BUL engine can drive a tank of this size is still unknown. Replacing it with a V24 engine is the safest way.
Xiao Jinzi went to dismantle the engine, and Ma Tao looked around. There was nothing in the car except dust everywhere. It was clean. After looking at it for a while, Ma Tao also climbed out of the chariot. He wanted to go to his own car. Get that extra extra C device from the car Nick.
Because the V24 engine was originally installed by Xiao Jinzi himself, he was familiar with all the interfaces, so it was not difficult to disassemble it. However, it still required Sister R to lift the engine out.
It took Xiao Jinzi more than an hour to finally install the V24 engine perfectly on the Leopard medium tank.
The reason why I say perfect is because when Sister R put the V24 engine into the engine compartment of this tank, Xiao Jinzi discovered that the tank and the engine fit perfectly. Even some of the link points fit perfectly. This also indirectly proves that the tank and the engine fit perfectly. This V24 was originally from this car. If it were another type of engine, there would be more or less empty parts like turnbuckles, wrenches, etc. However, the engine compartment of the Panther tank shows signs of wear. It's the same as V24.
After assembling the engine, the installation of the C device is a little simpler.
If installing the engine is a physical job, then installing the C device is a mental job.
This is the first time that Ma Tao has seen the assembled C device with his own eyes. The countless line links are dazzling, and the various wires and threads are even more difficult to distinguish. Anyway, Ma Tao can't understand it at all, and he doesn't know what it is. Knowing how to connect, Ma Tao felt as if his head was getting big as he stood on the side and watched Xiao Jinzi get into the engine room and carefully stroke the lines one by one.
"alright!"
It took about half an hour, and with Xiao Jinzi drilling out the thick metal cover on the engine compartment cover, the Panther tank was completed, and the next step was to inspect it.
Everyone was curious about this medium tank. At this moment, except for Sister R who stayed in the No. 1 vehicle to defend against possible dangers, the rest of the people gathered in the compartment of this medium tank and waited to see it for themselves. Seeing the birth of this fourth tank in their team.
When Xiao Jinzi, who was sitting in the driving seat again, pressed the start button, all the screens in the car lit up instantly, and everyone's face was filled with smiles. I have to say that this sense of accomplishment was quite satisfying. People are comfortable, especially Xiao Jinzi. Nothing makes him more proud than watching the chariot he assembled by himself. After all, this is the first time he has assembled it by himself. Now it seems that it is obviously a success.
After the first function of the C device was set, the tank could be said to have been successfully started. Xiao Jinzi directly named the tank No. 04.
Different from the time when Ma Tao found the No. 1 vehicle, although both tanks were found, the C device of this Panther tank was blank. There are only two possibilities for this. One is This tank was originally a quack-new tank that was just released from the factory, but the one in front of me was obviously not that. Some indelible traces of previous battles could still be seen on some parts of the tank, which shows that the tank was The car must have had an owner before. The other way is that the original owner of the car chose to erase everything on the car and wipe it clean. This is a bit similar to the formatting in Ma Tao's impression. , but this is indeed the reality.
In fact, the display interface and operating system of the tank are almost the same, and they are roughly divided into fifteen component interfaces. If there is a problem in any link, or if there is damage to any part, a reminder will be given at these locations.
After the C device completed a comprehensive inspection of the tank, the general data of the Panther tank was fully displayed in front of everyone.
The current weight of the vehicle has reached a terrifying thirty-two tons, and the vehicle's own weight has reached eighteen tons. You know, Gao Han's minibus is only 13.6 tons. Xiao Jinzi The weight of the jeep is 13.9 tons, nearly 14 tons. Needless to say, Ma Tao's light tank is the lightest.
When talking about chassis, chassis refers to the combination of four parts on the car: transmission system, driving system, steering system and braking system. It supports and installs the car engine and its components and assemblies, forms the overall shape of the car, and withstands the engine power. , to ensure normal driving, is the most core and sophisticated design of a tank. The engine can be replaced, but the chassis cannot be replaced. A good chassis is hard to come by, but the chassis is also quite defensive. It is conceivable that it can If the chassis of a tank is damaged, then what kind of cruel battles has this tank experienced? Therefore, almost every tank with a damaged chassis is a warrior who has just encountered a tough battle and won the battle.
The chassis of this No. 4 Leopard medium tank combat vehicle is a chassis called the BAD model. It weighs 15.5 tons, which sounds like a terrifying weight. This weight is equivalent to any two of their current combat vehicles. The total weight of the chassis of the vehicle, including the main gun and engine C unit, adds up to 18.4 tons, which is as much as Gao Han's No. 3 CMB ambulance when it is fully loaded. a weight.
Fortunately, Ma Tao asked Xiao Jinzi to install the V24 engine back. With this weight, it would be a no-brainer to replace the BUL, and it would even be impossible to move it.
Finally, after calculation and testing by the C device, the current maximum number of armor plates carried by the No. 4 Leopard medium tank combat vehicle is 1,360, which is an acceptable amount of armor, but then again, the Gundam The chassis of more than fifteen tons also has very good defensive capabilities.
For example, if you are ambushed by a bomb turtle or a mine turtle, the advantages of the No. 4 Panther tank will be revealed. The chassis is strong and not easy to damage, which also represents the strength of the body. If it is replaced by a chassis with the worst defense No. 3 minibus, such an attack would most likely damage the chassis of the vehicle.
Talking about some other problems of this Leopard medium tank, which were all checked out by the C device one by one, it also made everyone speechless and confused. That is, not only did the SE muzzle of this tank not have holes, but also the secondary gun. I didn’t drill it, and I don’t know what the last original owner of this car thought. It seemed unbelievable that such a good car had never had the secondary gun drilled. But when Xiao Jinzi finished checking it, Ma Tao immediately understood the special magazine, because the special magazine of this tank actually has a shocking capacity of sixty-four rounds. Sixty-four rounds, which is higher than the maximum ammunition capacity of most main guns. , seeing this special magazine, Ma Tao also understood that the original owner of the Panther tank in front of him must have used the ammunition capacity of the special magazine to sustain long battles. In other words, he had always relied on powerful The number of shells can be used to make up for the inconvenience of not having a secondary battery. No matter what danger is encountered, shells are used to open the way. After the main gun is finished, special shells are used. After all, a replenishment can reach at least nearly a hundred rounds of ammunition capacity. No matter how many monsters you encounter, a hundred rounds of cannonballs are enough to deal with them.
After understanding this, Ma Tao also shook his head helplessly, because although such a method that relies entirely on using cannonballs to open the way can be effective for a short time, once it encounters special dangers, such as the main gun being destroyed by a monster, then It's troublesome, because the vehicle has no other means of attack except the main gun. Although the possibility of this happening is very low, after all, the main gun is the least likely to be damaged part of the tank, because the main gun is the most vulnerable part. Strong, especially with its long barrel.
"congratulations"
Except for the lack of problems with the secondary guns and SE gun holes and the overweight chassis, overall this is a pretty good tank. After reading all the data on this vehicle, Ma Tao patted Xiao Jinzi on the shoulder.
"We congratulate you too"
Gao Han and Su Lanyu, who were also in the car together, also said congratulations.
"Hehe... everywhere, it's my Brother Tao who treats me well and thinks of me."
Although Xiao Jinzi said this, his face was already smiling from ear to ear. His hands covered with dust and engine oil were stroking the surrounding equipment and he couldn't put it down.
It was Xiao Jinzi's dream to own a pure chariot. He didn't expect it to come true so quickly. He would probably laugh himself out of his dream within a few days.
"Okay, stop flattering me."
Ma Tao rubbed his somewhat messy hair, then turned around and said to Gao Han and the others, "Let's hurry up and get out of here."
"I finally thought about leaving. I thought you planned to stay here for the New Year."
Gao Han pinched his waist with one hand and held the passenger seat with the other. Hearing this, Gao Han smiled charmingly, turned around and climbed out of the tank car with Su Lanyu.
"Sister, you go drive car No. 2"
Watching the two heroes leave, Ma Tao raised his hand again and called his sister with his watch.
"No problem, I'll go there now"
The next second, my sister's response came from the watch.
Originally, Ma Tao wanted to hand Jeep No. 2 to Su Lanyu, but recalling the glorious deeds of this woman driving a chariot in the past few times, Ma Tao still has fresh memories. This woman's driving skills are really unflattering. After careful consideration, Ma Tao I thought it was better to forget it, so I decided to let my sister drive the No. 2 car.
"Seize the time to get familiar with the car"
Before getting off the car, Ma Tao said one last serious word to Xiao Jinzi and then climbed out of the No. 4 Leopard Tank.
Xiao Jinzi also understands that after all, he is driving a medium-sized tank. Compared with the jeep, it is not a little bit larger. Its width and length make the turning angle and speed significantly different from the jeep. He needs to adapt to this as soon as possible. Operation of a combat vehicle.
After Ma Tao returned to his No. 1 light tank strategy, everyone was already waiting for him. After asking about it, Ma Tao started the tank.
This time is different. Firstly, everyone remembers the way out and knows where to go. Secondly, the most important thing is that the chariot has been found. There is no need to use a detector to ground the ground like when it came. He moved slowly, this time just to ensure that he could see the road conditions and move at full speed, trying to leave the cave and return to the outside as soon as possible.
The vehicle speed continued along the way, and under the premise that the searchlights could detect the situation in time, the four tanks advanced rapidly at a speed of about 40 miles. They eliminated two mine turtles along the way and killed three laser earthworms with a grenade. They finally Rushing back to the exit leading to the third floor, without any hesitation or even stopping, the four cars rushed straight up the ramp at full speed.
The situation is different when going downhill. The dead weight of the chariot is about ten tons. You can see that it is very easy when going downhill. But if you don't give enough horsepower when going uphill, it will really be like an old ox pulling a cart. It's smelly and slow. Fortunately, almost all tanks nowadays are lightly armored and the armor pieces are almost gone. Even at full speed, the vehicle speed is still not slow. If it is fully armored, it may climb as fast as It will be so slow that people will want to get out of the car and push it.
They climbed from the fourth floor to the third floor. Because the third floor was a small platform space, they almost didn’t stop at all. Then they started climbing again. Soon, they were back on the second floor, but if they wanted to go out, they had to go through the second floor. It is quite a long road, and there is also a relatively narrow section.
"Everyone, please be careful. Once we get out of this level, we will be victorious."
Ma Tao knows that this journey will definitely not be peaceful, so cheering everyone up is also a way to cheer for himself.
"You'd better protect yourself"
Gao Han has always been the kind of character who doesn't care about anything. The more she seems relaxed and comfortable at times like this, but at critical moments, this eldest sister is always the one who rushes to the front without any ambiguity.
"Just do it!"
Having just obtained this medium tank, Xiao Jinzi has always been hesitant to try it, even though his tank now doesn't have a single piece of armor.
The defensive power of the No. 4 Panther tank combat vehicle is still very strong. After all, the tonnage is placed there. Even if more than 30 tons of iron lumps are placed here for you to hit, it will take a long time before it is penetrated. .
The No. 4 Panther tank combat vehicle is now equipped with a 95mm gun. Fortunately, the magazine capacity of the main gun is full, but it is not 48 rounds but 32 rounds. However, Ma Tao is very worried about the 95mm gun that has been stored for ten years. Whether the shells can still be used, you can open the magazine and find that the shells inside are not rusty at all. As for the condition of the gunpowder inside, you need to fire two rounds to test.
Thinking about it, most of the shell materials are copper-clad steel. Copper-clad steel is a composite material with low carbon steel as the matrix, red copper as the composite layer, and red copper-high-quality low carbon steel-red copper as the composite structure. Copper-clad steel not only has Copper has the advantages of high electrical and thermal conductivity, strong corrosion resistance, and beautiful appearance. It also has a series of advantages such as high strength, good toughness, and low cost of steel. In the weapons industry, copper-clad steel is often used to make bullet shells. In order to make steel It becomes softer, easily fits the gun bore, and reduces deformation processing. It is generally made of special steel with very low carbon content and has been annealed.
Artillery shells are also divided into sizes. Small and medium-caliber artillery shells have copper shells and steel shells. Large-caliber artillery shells are mainly brass shells. Copper has good ductility and is not suitable for exploding the bore. Some large-caliber naval guns are fired without shells. Most of the shells are made of cast iron to produce fragments. As for the shells of missiles, they are mostly made of lightweight materials such as aluminum alloy and composite materials.
When talking about artillery shells, there are many types of artillery shells, which are mainly used to kill enemy forces, destroy combat tanks, etc. Therefore, the steel used for artillery shells requires high strength and high hardness. Under the action of explosive load, the fragmentation rate is high. Since artillery shells are consumables and are used in large quantities, the cost of steel for artillery shells is required to be low. The shells of bullets and artillery shells must be clad with copper, otherwise the barrel/barrel will be severely worn. Missile shells are generally made of steel, and some use composite materials to reduce weight.
As for the material of the cannonball, it is actually possible to rust. After all, metal is the best at absorbing heat, and it is easier to condense water molecules. In humid places, it will rust in a week or two, but the ones they have found now This Panther tank is stored at the bottom of an extinct volcano. The temperature is almost a constant temperature environment, and it is very high. However, it is unrealistic to ignite the gunpowder in the shell. After all, the gunpowder inside is not fired. It was in a vacuum at that time. It was precisely because of such an extremely special environment that not only the tank was well preserved, but also the shells in the magazine were intact.
Continue to move forward along the only way out. Everyone must be extremely vigilant and strive to find the enemy in the shortest possible time. Try to kill the opponent before the enemy discovers it. However, ideas are always ideas, and the actual situation will never be based on the actual situation. People's thoughts came to mind. Before they turned the first corner, the convoy encountered laser earthworms twice in succession. In order to resolve the battle as quickly as possible, Ma Tao directly used ice bombs to freeze them into ice cubes. Even so, it was still More than two hundred pieces of armor were lost.
The situation is getting more and more critical, because now only the No. 1 and No. 3 vehicles still have armor pieces, but there are not many left. The two vehicles combined are less than 500.
At this moment, time has become the thing that everyone hopes to speed up the most. After finally passing this super long C-shaped road, there will be continuous battles. The eighty pieces of armor that were just added to the No. 2 car are this time. They were exhausted in the battle, but what awaited them was another five or six mine turtles and a few acid ants blocking the road. After using artillery shells to deal with the two acid ants first, the remaining mine turtles were all scattered. Either sneaking underground or escaping directly, Ma Tao was anxious and worried. He didn't expect that the mine turtles, which had basically zero IQ, would also hold grudges. Ma Tao, who thought he had beaten them away, drove the No. 1 car forward. Not long after, he was below. The ground exploded, directly blowing away nearly 80 pieces of armor of his tank. Ma Tao was so angry that he itched his teeth and hurriedly used a detection instrument to detect the surrounding area. This detection really discovered something again. There is no need to guess at the two suspicious locations. It is certain that the mine turtles that escaped before are preparing to sneak into the ground to carry out their crimes.
But now that Ma Tao had discovered it, how could he let it go? He fired directly at the suspicious positions detected by the detection instruments. Several shells passed by and even the burial pits were sent out.
After going through untold hardships and consuming all the special shells and armor pieces, Ma Tao finally led his team out of the entrance of the cave. It was already bright outside.
Time passed very quickly when they were running around in the cave, fighting desperately, and digging hard. Now when they came out, they discovered that they had actually stayed in that cave for a whole day. It was already ten o'clock in the afternoon. Under the mental stress, people I don’t feel hungry or thirsty anymore. Now that I’m out, all the feelings come out. ,
