s: Ask for votes After feasting on a hippopotamus meal, more than 16,000 officers and soldiers of the 118th Armored Division turned south to meet the invading First East African Armored Corps.
More than two thousand vehicles of various types were racing across the African wilderness, with flying smoke and dust covering the sky.
Just a few minutes after Sergeant Major Gao Bowen poked his head out of the turret of a Giant Panda, he was hit by a large amount of smoke and dust that filled his mouth and nose with sand.
He quickly closed the roof door with a bang and shrank down.
Went back.
"Oh, bah, bah, bah, this bad dirt road is so dusty.
I can't even see the road ahead clearly."
Gao Bowen complained with an unlucky look on his face: "Isn't it the rainy season here?
Why is the road still so dry?"
The company channel sounded the gloating voice of Sergeant Fang Hushan, the commander of the car next door: "Old Gao, it is the rainy season, but this rainy season does not mean that it will not stop raining.
And this is the tropics, it rains It doesn’t take a few hours to dry.”
At this time, the voice of platoon leader Wen Zecheng sounded: "What does it matter if you can't see clearly on the road?
Panda has so many advanced instruments.
Battlefield data link, automatic navigation, electromagnetic detection, infrared detection, low-light detection, and magnetic field detection are all in the car."
You can also figure out what's going on outside.
Besides, you don't have to drive the car now, so why not use automatic navigation?
You don't need to look out at all."
Gao Bowen smiled awkwardly: "Hey, platoon leader, I know.
But I'm not used to using this thing.
It's too advanced, just like a dream, so I often feel uneasy."
"You'll get used to it after using it a few times.
No matter how advanced this thing is, it still needs someone to use it.
You turn on the autopilot and click on the march directory.
There is a follow option.
Yes, it's the one in the upper right corner.
After clicking it, There are command vehicles at all levels in the directory.
By default, it is me, the platoon leader's vehicle.
Okay, I have received the signal.
Now your vehicle has automatically followed my platoon leader's vehicle, and then you can leave it alone."
"Hahaha, this thing is really easy to use.
I wasn't used to it before."
"Idiot, you have to believe in science.
It is much more reliable than you.
This function is used during this kind of march, especially during long-distance marches.
The vehicles in a platoon can take turns serving as the leader, which can greatly reduce the cost of each party.
The physical exertion of the crew.
Of course, if we encounter a situation, we must immediately switch to manual operation.
The Panda's computer can handle general road conditions, automatically avoid obstacles, and can automatically change gears when turning and going up and down slopes, but it cannot be done if it is too complicated.
"Captain Gordon Wan, the company commander, laughed and scolded: "It's such a good thing.
I don’t know how to use it.
It’s just that wild boars can’t eat fine bran.
I really want to force you to drive a refrigerated truck in the logistics department.”
"Spare me, company commander" Gao Bowen repeatedly begged for mercy.
Another commander also interjected: "Company commander, I have to say, our current giant panda is really great.
When I drove the Siberian Tiger before, I felt that there would be no better tank in the world.

But there is no How long has it been since there were giant pandas again?
Our scientists and engineers in China are really amazing.
Whether they are giant pandas or red pandas, they are a joy to drive, even compared to driving a car."
In the history of the original time and space, for a long time, driving a tank was a very hard and physically demanding task, and it was far from as majestic as it seemed.
As we all know, internal combustion engines, especially diesel engines, are very noisy.
In an internal combustion engine tank, even communication between the crews must be through the in-car intercom system, otherwise it is impossible to hear what the other party is saying.
The high noise, coupled with the hot and bumpy environment, makes driving such a tank absolutely difficult.
If you sit in it and drive it for several hours, you will basically be exhausted.
The Panda they are driving now is a gas turbine fly-by-wire version, but it is also equipped with a one-ton Silver Dragon battery pack as the power source in cruising state.
As long as it is fully charged, the gas turbine can be shut down and stopped.
At this time, relying solely on the battery pack to provide energy, the chariot can move forward at a maximum speed of 60 kilometers.
Although it does not run as far as the pure electric version of the Giant Panda, it can run as far as 40 kilometers.
At economical speed, there is a range of about 320 kilometers.
Moreover, the special type of DC motor is most suitable for vehicles such as tanks whose power requirements vary greatly.
More importantly, whether it is a gas turbine or an electric motor, the noise is much lower than that of an internal combustion engine.
Especially for electric motors, the noise is so low that it can be ignored.
When it's battery-powered, it generates virtually no heat.
The new hydraulic suspension system automatically controlled by a computer can automatically adjust the undulating state of the vehicle body in real time according to road conditions, with excellent smoothness.
During the test drive, the tester put a half-full glass of water in the car and then ran around in the wilderness.
After getting off the car, the half-full glass of water was not spilled at all.
Coupled with the new low-noise track system, the giant panda is quiet even when traveling at full speed, making only a very small sound.
No high heat from the engine is transmitted in, and coupled with the semiconductor air conditioning system, the interior environment in the car is greatly improved.
The mission of a tank is to fight continuously for a long time, so it is crucial to maintain the good physical and mental state of the tank crew.
The introduction of the above new technologies has greatly improved the working environment of the new tank and greatly reduced the work intensity.
Nowadays, China's new tanks do this perfectly.
Even if they drive in them for a day, they consume less energy than staying in an old tank for an hour.
After using it, front-line troops all praised it.
I think driving such a tank is simply a pleasure.
The superiors and the logistics department are also very satisfied.
This kind of performance has been greatly improved, while the production cost and maintenance cost have been significantly reduced.
This is also rare in the history of weapon development.
At this time, on a "Lynx" infantry fighting vehicle of the mechanized infantry regiment, several Ethiopian leading parties were also admiring this vehicle.
They are the guides from the Ethiopian Labor Party, and they are also regular officers and soldiers in Ethiopia.
Contrary to what most people think, the Ethiopian army is actually a very advanced army, not a primitive black shad army with swords and spears.
On the contrary, not only are their weapons and equipment not outdated at all, but they also have equipment from several major powers in the world, which can be said to be well-informed.
But when these Ethiopian officers entered the car, they were stunned by the advanced equipment in the car.
The semiconductor refrigeration device silently sent them gusts of cool breeze.
From the hot environment of more than 30 degrees outside to the 24-degree car, they couldn't help but shiver.
The subsequent experience made them even more like a dream.
The "Lynx" tracked heavy infantry fighting vehicle is also a new vehicle that has been upgraded this time.
Unlike the Pandas, it uses pure battery power and does not have a gas turbine version.
It started silently, then accelerated from a standstill to 50 kilometers per hour in ten seconds, and flew in the wild at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour.
At this time, if the Ethiopian officers and soldiers sitting in the car had not seen Even when the scenery outside the car window was moving backwards, I didn't even feel that the car had started moving.
"It's as comfortable as a car."
An Ethiopian major blew on the air conditioner and drank an iced drink in the car.

He couldn't help but curiously asked: "Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, this car has air conditioning and a refrigerator, but why don't I see any compression?"
"Machine" This person is also knowledgeable.
Yes, what is different from the original time and space is that compressed air conditioners were released by Xingke Group to make money very early.
They were sold all over the world in 1910, so they were put on the tank very early.
During World War I, almost all tanks from various countries were equipped with air conditioners.
Especially in hot areas like Africa, if there is no air conditioning, then you are not driving, but playing "iron man meat".
However, the air conditioners in the tanks are similar to the civilian ones.
There is a huge compressor hanging outside the tank.
At that time, the officer saw that none of the Chinese tanks had compressors, and he complained in his heart: The Chinese did not understand the situation, and they actually sent tanks without air conditioning to see how long you can hold on.
He was mentally prepared to go in and become a "hard man", but he didn't expect this to be the case.
"Of course there is no compressor.
This is a semiconductor refrigeration system, Comrade Delis."
Peng Xuefeng, who received him, said with a smile: "This is only found in new cars.
Our previous cars also used compression air conditioners, and the same applies to the outside.
Hang up a compressor.”
Semiconductor refrigeration is actually not a new high technology.
The phenomenon of semiconductor refrigeration was discovered as early as the mid-19th century.
This is called the "Peltier effect".
The refrigeration device manufactured using this principle has very perfect performance.
This device is highly efficient, has no moving parts, and does not require refrigerant as a medium.
It operates without noise or vibration, and is small in size and light in weight.
It is reliable in operation, easy to operate and easy to adjust the cooling capacity.
Compared with common compression, absorption and other refrigeration methods, it is eight streets away.
However, this kind of semiconductor refrigeration has two fatal shortcomings.
The first is the high purity requirements for the semiconductor, and the second is the extremely high requirements for the stability of the current and voltage.
If either of the two conditions is insufficient, its efficiency will be greatly reduced.
So until the beginning of the 21st century, this kind of thing was only used in situations where the cooling consumption was small and the space was small, such as the cooling of certain components in electronic equipment and radio communication equipment.
Some people have also developed semiconductor refrigerators and air conditioners for home use, but due to problems with materials and current, their efficiency was extremely low, their energy consumption was extremely high, and they were very uneconomical, so they were abandoned.
Only Americans who were not short of money built a semiconductor cooling system on a nuclear submarine.
But these problems are no longer a problem for China, which has opened a space production base.
The semiconductors produced by Tiangong-1 can fully meet the purity requirements, and the internal resistance of high-energy iron-sodium batteries is extremely low and almost negligible, so the current and voltage are very stable.
So since last year, China's refrigeration technology has made a leap.
Semiconductor refrigeration or heating technology has begun to become popular.
Of course, it is widely used in fighter planes, battleships, submarines and tanks to provide a good environment for their crews.
Major Delis looked around the car.
He was stunned by the computer control system of the tank, the driving display screen matched with the camera outside the car, the satellite positioning system, the electronic map, and the touch screens used by the soldiers. straight.
It's really too much science fiction.
Even Delis is a young elite in the Ethiopian army.
He has been to Europe and the United States for inspections and has seen a lot of the world.
At this time, he was shocked from the outside to the inside.
He had only seen the surface.
There were more confidential contents and functions inside, and of course they would not be shown to him.
He couldn't help but praise: "The Chinese comrades' tanks are so advanced.
After the success of our country's revolution, we also want to import such advanced tanks to your country."
Peng Xuefeng scolded the African hillbillies in his heart, but on the surface he was still very friendly and said: "Hahaha, of course it is possible.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
All the troops from the allied countries in the People's Revolutionary League have been imported to us.
Only those who are our brothers All countries can use it” He added in his mind: Of course it’s the monkey version.
At this time, the horn sounded in the car: "Report to the battalion commander, we have discovered the vanguard force from East Africa.
There are 10 fried dumplings and 15 pot sticker dumplings, direction xxx, heading xxx, speed 20 kilometers."
Peng Xuefeng asked: "Didn't see Hans Meow?"
"No, there are only pan-fried buns and pot-sticker dumplings, not Hans Meow and Hans Little Meow," the scout said with certainty, and then he added: "Their air conditioner seems to be broken, hahaha, they are all hot."
He was sweating profusely, as if he had been fished out of the water."
"Okay, it looks like it's a reconnaissance force.
Mark the location for me quickly."
Peng Xuefeng came to the touch screen and switched the content to satellite map mode.
Soon, there were a few more blue cursors on the map, and the scouts in front had already transmitted the target location through the communication equipment they carried.
In fact, this East African army has long been discovered by satellites, and now they are constantly being monitored by satellites and high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.
The scouts were sent just for further confirmation and more detailed observations.
"Well, it's about 75 kilometers away from our main force.
We'll encounter it in about an hour."
Peng Xuefeng operated on the touch screen and said to Major Delis who was looking at him strangely: "Comrade Delis, you are familiar with this place. "?"
Delis came over and looked carefully for a while before nodding: "I know, this should be between Dorala and Bokoji, on the east coast of the East African Rift Valley."
"Comrade Delis, could you please introduce the local terrain conditions?"
"No problem, I have lived here for ten years."
Delis smiled and started to introduce.
In fact, with China's current detection technology, the entire map can be opened even without a local leader.
Of course, it is better to have it.
After all, whether it is satellites or reconnaissance aircraft, no matter how advanced they are, it is impossible to observe some details.
Although scouts can observe details, it takes time.
It is of course easier to have local people introduce them
