Chapter 96: Caliber is Truth In terms of power, it can be said to be impeccable. The 760-horsepower four-stroke V-12 V-46 diesel engine is still world-class. "Lin, by then we will need to trouble your factory to send professional technicians to guide and assist us in the construction work." Abdul knew very well that the 077 Mechanical Military Factory was already able to produce high-performance 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engines, so they must have profound accumulation and experience in related technical fields. So he decisively adopted the "take-it-as-it-is" strategy, hoping to use the strength of the 077 Machinery Military Factory to build a factory and obtain technical support and sharing. "Abdul, please rest assured about this. We will definitely send the best and most outstanding engineers to Saudi Arabia in the Camel area to fully assist you in establishing a complete set of tank engine production lines." Lin Chenran patted his chest and agreed without hesitation. “Abdul, since the 760-horsepower four-stroke V-12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine we purchased has no technology transfer, this matter must be carried out in secret.” Lin Chenran looked at Abdul seriously and said. He knew very well that if the truth came to light, the consequences would be disastrous.
It will not only affect the cooperative relationship between the two countries. It will also cause the Russians to doubt and feel dissatisfied with Yan Country. He had to make sure Abdul understood the seriousness of the problem. "I know, Lin, this is our common secret." Abdul nodded in understanding. Lin Chenran continued, "Even if the Mao Bears find any clues, you must insist that this tank engine is not the Mao Bears' 760-horsepower four-stroke V-shaped 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine, and you can't say it was leaked from our Yan Country." His tone was firm and decisive, eliminating all worries. Lin Chenran added: "If the Russian bear really gets hold of our 'chicken feet', then our cooperation will be seriously affected, and may even lead to the termination of the project." Abdul took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. He understood what Lin Chenran meant. He said: "Lin, don't worry, we Saudis will definitely do things in a safe way." His eyes were full of confidence and he assured Lin Chenran. Lin Chenran smiled and said, "That's good. I hope you can get things done properly." Abdul smiled and responded, "Of course, Lin, it has to be done properly." The two smiled at each other, and they understood each other's thoughts. It’s okay if it is discovered by the Russian bear after a while, after all, it still has a few years. The Russian bear is becoming more and more confused now. A few years later, the Russian bear directly "split up" and became "several brothers." By then, who would still blame the 077 Machinery Military Factory for leaking and selling the 760-horsepower four-stroke V-12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine? "Abdul, next is the firepower test of the Apocalypse Tank."
The Saudi Apocalypse tank in the Camel area is equipped with the Russian 125mm smoothbore gun. Its power is self-evident, and everyone knows how powerful it is. At Lin Chenran's signal, the driver of the 077 Mechanical Arsenal started the Apocalypse tank. With the roar of the engine, the tank slowly moved towards the shooting range. After a while, the Apocalypse tank arrived at the shooting range. Its huge body and mighty appearance shocked people. The muzzle of the huge 125mm smoothbore gun was pointed steadily at the experimental target, like a sleeping giant beast, waiting for the flag bearer's order. The flag bearer turned to look at Lin Chenran, waiting for the next instruction. Lin Chenran smiled slightly and nodded gently, indicating that the experiment could begin. After receiving the instructions, the flag bearer gave the order to fire without hesitation. After receiving the firing order, the tank gunners immediately entered combat mode, skillfully operating various instruments and equipment to adjust the angle and range of the artillery. After a while, a deafening roar suddenly sounded above the experimental field. A dazzling beam of fire spurted out from the muzzle of the Apocalypse tank, and then a huge shell shot out from the barrel of the huge caliber, dragging a long flame, and streaked across the sky like a meteor. With a loud bang, the shell and the target collided violently. In an instant, the entire shooting range was enveloped by a powerful shock wave, with flying dust and thick smoke. When the dust settled, people found that the original target had disappeared, replaced by a deep pit. There were still some broken metal fragments and burning debris in the pit, proving the power of the previous attack. Everyone who witnessed this scene was dumbfounded. "This……" "That……" The power of the 125mm smoothbore gun is beyond imagination! In people's impression, the power of the 125mm smoothbore gun is already amazing enough, but when you actually see its performance, it still makes people feel extremely shocked. Especially those bigwigs of the Yan State’s military, they were shocked and frowned. In the past, the military leaders of Yan State believed that a 110 to 115mm smoothbore gun was sufficient. Now after seeing the power of the 125mm smoothbore gun, I exclaimed in my heart: "How careless!!!" The larger the caliber, the more powerful it is, and the greater the destructive power and deterrence it has. Lin Chenran is well aware of this, and he hopes that through this demonstration, everyone can more intuitively feel the power of the 125mm smoothbore gun. So he signaled the testers to drive the Apocalypse tank and continuously aim at the target and shoot. In an instant, the entire test site was drowned in deafening explosions, flames shot up into the sky, and thick smoke billowed. After a round of intensive shooting, the driver skillfully drove the Apocalypse tank back to its original starting point. At this time, engineers from the 077 Mechanical Arsenal quickly started working to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the tested Apocalypse Tank. Abdul, who was standing by, looked at everything in front of him and asked Lin Chenran with a puzzled look on his face: "Lin, what does this mean?"
Lin Chenran smiled slightly and explained directly: "Abdul, we are checking whether there will be any other problems after the Apocalypse tank is fired." The Apocalypse tank has just come off the production line, so various inspections are required. Especially after firing a round of artillery, careful inspection is required to avoid affecting subsequent tests. Abdul and other Saudi representatives in the camel area all gave thumbs up for this. This is really responsible! …… Lin Chenran did not hesitate to let the engineers of the 077 Mechanical Arsenal inspect the Apocalypse tanks in front of the Saudi representatives in the Camel area after a round of salvos. This shows that the 077 Mechanical Military Factory really regards Saudi Arabia in the Camel Region as its true partner. After the engineer of the 077 Mechanical Military Factory checked it out, he said in front of everyone: "There is nothing wrong with the Apocalypse Tank during the test!!!" Hearing this, everyone applauded. In an instant, there was thunderous applause! The firepower test has come to an end, and the next step is the highlight of this test!!! "Armor Defense Test!!!"
