The 077 Machinery Military Factory's introduction of the Bear's 760-horsepower, four-stroke V12 V-46 diesel engine was undoubtedly a major victory.
It directly accelerated Flame Nation's tank development, raising it by more than one level.
It also meant that Flame Nation would no longer be constrained by others in independently designing, developing, and producing tanks.
As time passed, domestic engine technology would gradually catch up as well, leading to an explosive period of growth.
At the same time, Elder Zhang and the other senior naval officials saw the lessons of this success and hoped to apply them to warships.
They were eager for the 077 Machinery Military Factory to introduce a powerful marine gas turbine to meet growing demands.
Considering the tonnage of the Aegis missile destroyer and its possible future development, a suitable gas turbine would play an enormous role and could be used on many types of warships.
Faced with such an important task, Lin Chenran could not help but reveal a bitter smile.
Achieving this goal would not be easy.
Lin Chenran could only do his utmost to introduce a suitable gas turbine from the Bear.
The 077 Machinery Military Factory alone would not be enough.
Flame Nation's navy would have to contribute as well!
At present, Flame Nation's relationship with Eagle Country was nearing the end of its honeymoon period.
They could negotiate to introduce the LM2500 gas turbine from them.
The LM2500 gas turbine had outstanding performance.
It was an aviation-derived gas turbine developed by Eagle Country's General Electric Company in the 1960s, based on the TF39 turbofan engine.
The LM2500 gas turbine's sales were astonishing.
It held the vast majority of the global marine gas turbine market.
"LM2500 gas turbine?"
Upon hearing the name, Elder Zhang's expression turned serious as he fell into deep thought.
