“Mainly all types of machine tools including turning, milling, boring, drilling, grinding, and planing. Whether it is the compressor of the air separation equipment, or the high-power DC motor and the three-hole oxygen gun, all kinds of machine tools are inseparable.
Device Support.”
Zhuang Qianding looked serious and said slowly: "In addition, we also need a forging machine."
A full range of machine tool equipment system consisting of six types of machine tools, plus a forging machine, can manufacture parts and mechanical components in the oxygen top-blown converter.
With these things, not only can we build an oxygen top-blown converter, but we can also build a series of machines and equipment that we want to build.
After all, machine tools are the mother of the industry for making machines.
If you want to engage in industry, you cannot do without mechanical processing equipment. This is the law of things.
There is no other way. You cannot directly rub a series of mechanical parts such as the rotor, stator, crankshaft connecting rod, etc. against a piece of material.
"Professor Zhuang, let me tell you the truth on this point. Machine tool equipment organization is difficult to obtain, and machine tools with advanced performance are almost impossible to obtain." Liu Wei smiled bitterly after hearing this, and had to give the current situation he was facing.
Everyone understands the importance of machine tools. Foreigners understand it, the Japanese understand it, and Chiang Kai-shek understands it. Because of this, the control of machine tool equipment is beyond imagination.
The country does not have the production capacity for large-scale machine tools. Even small machine tools can be manufactured by only a few manufacturers. One is the Peking Machinery Factory and the other is the Shanghai Machinery Factory. These two machine tools have supplied more than 70% of the machine tool equipment produced in recent years.
To foreign countries, the remaining 30% is supplied to the domestic military industry. The machine tools on the market are completely in a state of price and no market.
In addition, if you want to purchase machine tools, you must obtain the purchase qualification granted by the government department. Otherwise, you will not be able to buy domestically produced machine tools even if you have money.
As for foreign large and medium-sized machine tools with advanced performance...
Don’t even think about it!
This thing is really not something you can just do.
What's more, what Professor Zhuang needs is a full range of machine tool equipment and forging machines...
The difficulty was so high that Liu Wei could hardly imagine it.
"Yu Hua and I understand this situation. We have discussed before that the solution is to independently develop machine tool equipment, upgrade and iterate, so that the level of machine tool equipment in the base will gradually increase and approach the performance level of Western machine tools." Zhuang Qianding pushed up the black glasses on the bridge of his nose.
, once again took out a technical document from the briefcase and handed it to Liu Wei: "Establish your own machinery manufacturing industry."
Independent research and development, upgrading and iteration, and establishment of machinery manufacturing industry.
You can rely on everyone to run, but only relying on yourself is the most reliable. This is the eternal truth.
Moreover, as a top mechanical expert, Zhuang Qianding has never thought of spending precious funds on outsourcing machine tools. After being awakened by Yu Hua not long ago, Zhuang Qianding has now become a completely independent research and development faction.
.
No?
It doesn’t matter, I made it myself!
Liu Wei was startled when he heard the words of Professor Zhuang Qianding, with a look of disbelief on his face. Lin Wan on the side also smacked her tongue slightly, not expecting Professor Zhuang's idea to be so crazy.
Make it yourself?!
Don't dare to think about it.
I really don’t dare to think about it.
This is a full range of machine tool equipment and forging machines!
So, can this idea be realized?
If it were anyone else, Lin Wan would have thought it was bragging without hesitation, but the person who said this was Zhuang Qianding, with Yu Hua sitting next to him.
‘This idea’ has been rigorously discussed and verified by the other party. Since I dare to say it, it proves that it is by no means a fantasy.
Although Lin Wan was surprised, she had no doubts.
The same was true for Liu Wei. He took a deep breath. Due to the authority established by Professor Zhuang in the field of machinery and the impression of super genius that Yu Hua had always left, he did not question the solution and carefully took the document. The title read -
—[Solutions to machine tool problems].
When I opened the document, the content was concise and intuitive, and it was divided into three stages.
Phase one:
Develop a compressed air free forging press with 750 kg/19Kj drop performance to achieve the forging of circular materials such as crankshafts, rotors, hydraulic cylinders, artillery barrels, etc. with a maximum diameter of 300 mm.
Research and develop small general lathes, 3-meter gantry milling, small general boring machines, small grinders, and small general planers. Precision machine tools are not involved for the time being.
The estimated completion time is 6 months. The basic machinery manufacturing system, which is relatively weak in China, will be established to meet the basic manufacturing needs of core components of oxygen top-blown converters, air separation equipment, steam turbines, medium and low chamber pressure artillery barrels, gasoline and diesel engines, etc.
condition.
At this stage, the level is domestically backward.
Second stage:
The mechanical manufacturing system established in the first stage will be used to support the research and development of 100-ton free forging hydraulic presses and medium-sized precision machine tool equipment to meet the basic manufacturing conditions for core components of 105mm medium and high chamber pressure artillery barrels, medium-sized air separation equipment, medium-sized steam turbines and other equipment.
.
Estimated completion time is 2 years.
At this stage, the level of the base's machinery manufacturing system is among the best in the country.
The third stage:
With the improved mechanical processing system level in the second stage, we will develop a 1,000-ton free forging hydraulic press and large precision machine tool equipment to meet the needs of manufacturing 150 mm medium bore pressure artillery barrels, large air separation equipment, and core components of large steam turbines.
Estimated completion time is 4 years.
At this stage, the level of the mechanical processing system in the base completely surpassed the domestic mechanical processing system and reached the world's third-rate machinery manufacturing level.
According to the three-stage plan and goals of this solution to the machine tool problem, after six and a half years, the level of the machinery manufacturing industry in the base area will reach an unprecedented height in Chinese history.
Although there is still a gap between humans and pigs compared to the world's top machinery manufacturing industries, led by the United Kingdom and Germany, it is more than a little better than it is now.
The current level of the world's machinery manufacturing industry is divided into top, first-rate, second-rate and third-rate.
Needless to say, Britain and Germany are at the top level, the United States, France, Sweden, the Czech Republic and other traditional European countries are at the first level, Italy and Japan are at the upper and middle levels of the second rate, the Soviet Union is at the middle and lower level, and the third level is based on the inheritance of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The heritage of Austria is the threshold.
Thousand-ton free forging hydraulic presses and large-scale precision machine tool equipment are the lowest standards in the world.
If you want to win the title of an industrial country and an industrial power, a 10,000-ton free forging hydraulic press is the standard equipment, and the ability to innovate and develop cutting-edge machine tool equipment is the core.
Of course, the level and scale of the machinery manufacturing industry are not the same thing. A high level does not mean a large scale.
In terms of manufacturing scale, the United States ranks first, followed by the Soviet Union and Germany, which barely ranks third.
After Liu Wei carefully reviewed the content of the three stages, his right hand trembled slightly. He could not imagine the manufacturing level of the base reaching the world's third-rate level, but he still remained rational, swallowed his throat, and said slowly: "Professor Zhuang, this goal is
Isn’t it a bit big, can it be realized?”
big.
Too big.
The world’s third-rate manufacturing level?
Sorry, Liu Wei has lived for so many years and has never really thought about it. He used to only think that the base team could make guns and mortars.
Making guns and mortars is such a wonderful thing...
However, now a well-meaning and authoritative expert who is willing to help suddenly comes. With a smile, he directly throws the future machinery manufacturing goal of the base in his face...
Not to mention whether it can be realized, but he has to admit that his horizons have been opened.
"With Yu Hua and me here, the first and second stages can be realized."
Zhuang Qianding looked serious and responded with the attitude of a top expert: "As for the third stage... this requires everyone to work together."
"Professor Zhuang has joined the oxygen top-blown converter project. This solution to the machine tool problem was planned by the professor himself for organizational planning." Yu Hua spoke up at the right time, informing Liu Wei of Professor Zhuang's identity and situation.
Now, everything that needs to be said has been said, only Liu Wei's answer is left.
Or rather...
Organization's answer.
There was a brief silence in the conference room.
As Professor Zhuang Qianding finished speaking, Liu Wei slowly stood up under the gaze of everyone, with a straight back and a serious face, and then bowed to Professor Zhuang Qianding.
"Professor Zhuang, thank you for your efforts and your support. Liu Wei would like to say thank you for the organization."
gratitude.
Gratitude comes from the heart.
Liu Wei is very clear about the significance of Professor Zhuang Qianding's "Solution to Mechanical Problems". This document can completely become a blueprint for the future development of the base area's machinery manufacturing industry and specify the direction.
Direction is as important as Mount Tai.
Whether the third stage can be realized is a question mark for now and ignore it. However, the goals of the first stage and the second stage are different. These are visible and tangible goals. The base area only needs to strongly support Professor Zhuang.
Then you can rush towards the road of owning independent machinery manufacturing industry.
Seeing this, Zhuang Qianding immediately understood what Liu Wei meant, and immediately stood up and responded quickly: "It's my duty, so there's no need to say thank you. This is what I should do."
"I will fully support you in this machinery manufacturing plan. Professor Zhuang, classmate Yu, besides the mechanical processing equipment problem, are there any other problems?" Liu Wei's words were sonorous and firm. After saluting, he sat down again and took the
He picked up his notebook and pen and continued to ask.
Regarding the development of the base area, every detail and every issue must be recorded and taken seriously, and no carelessness is allowed.
"This is the list of required materials and equipment. In addition, now that the theoretical design of the air separation equipment, three-hole oxygen lance and alkaline converter has been completed, we are going to the base area to inspect the test site. If nothing goes wrong, this test site
It will become a steel factory in the future." This time it was Yu Hua's turn to speak. He took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to Lin Wan, and said slowly.
Taking the list of materials and equipment with her right hand, Lin Wan was slightly startled when she heard the news. Unexpectedly, Yu Hua and Professor Zhuang were about to leave Peiping and go to the base area.
"Okay, how long is the estimated departure time? I can arrange it easily, but the conditions in the base area are very difficult and may not be as good as those in Peking. Professor Zhuang and Student Yu, you must be mentally prepared." Liu Wei nodded and asked.
"Don't worry, I've traveled tens of thousands of kilometers alone across the continental United States, and I've experienced a lot of hardships." Zhuang Qianding smiled slightly.
Yu Hua didn't say anything, it was just that the conditions were difficult, and he was not a spoiled child. He looked at Liu Wei and gave the departure time he and Professor Zhuang had discussed: "Probably July 12th, next Monday at eight o'clock in the morning, at the west gate of the school.
, I’m with the professor.”
After receiving Yu Hua's answer, Liu Wei nodded, and Lin Wan next to him recorded the time.
With the theoretical design of the oxygen top-blown converter completed, it was time to leave Peiping.
However, before that, he had one more thing to accomplish.
July 10th, this Saturday, is the scheduled transaction time with Mr. Rabe. According to the itinerary given by the other party, the German machine tool equipment will arrive at Tianjin Port on time as much as possible.
This should be as subtle as possible.
Yu Hua could only pray that the German machine tool equipment would arrive at Tianjin Port smoothly. Otherwise... he would have to find another reasonable excuse to delay his departure to the base area.
The preciousness of this batch of German-made machine tools can be described as priceless. Yu Hua must get it and must wait.
