In recent years, the life of state-owned enterprises in heavy industry has been much better, but not all have been better off. Some have been forced to be merged and reorganized. Bingzhou Tractor Factory is one of them. The factory's high-quality resources have been taken away by other companies. There are only a few shabby workshops left that need to be disbanded.
Director Shen is the head of a shabby workshop. He should be at the peak of his experience and ability when he is almost fifty, but now he is in a bleak situation, like a dragon swimming in the shallows and a tiger falling flat on the sun!
Bingzhou Tractor Factory was originally a military factory. Don't think that it only produced tractors. It produced tanks back then, but they were old Type 59 tanks.
The "Lao Wujiu" is now overwhelmed with the heavy responsibility, and the production task of new tanks cannot fall to Bingzhou Tractor Factory. The factory has been engaged in "military-to-civilian conversion" for many years, and the workshop that originally produced tanks can still do some maintenance work. But wait until When Lao Shen came to power, even the maintenance work was gone.
Morale was low, so everyone naturally had to go their separate ways. Lao Shen also stood at the last post, waiting for his superiors to transfer him to other positions. But...
Zhou Qingfeng wanted to refurbish an old tank with a technical level that was decades ago. Xiao Jinlang definitely couldn't find real experts with high confidentiality levels for him. Fortunately, Guoan was very capable and quickly left the matter to Bingzhou Tractor Factory. Old Shen’s head. After all, Old Shen also builds tanks, right?
Lao Shen accepted this task with a wry smile. He led his people to toss all night and came up with a wild plan for Zhou Qingfeng. But when the Bingzhou National Security Bureau came to him the next day and seriously told him that this matter was very important, Lao Shen Shen was completely panicked.
Do we really want to build this kind of old-fashioned tank? But I actually led a group of young people to make nonsense. Even an old design from decades ago cannot be made in just one month. This is a fantasy!
But you can't say this, absolutely can't say it, because 100 million has already arrived. For such a bad project, just give 100 million without giving up. Who is this person? A rich man! For the sake of cute little money, the rich man's requirements must be met. of.
What is Lao Shen's current difficulty? The technical team is not ready to take on the job. The 'Lao Wujiu' was built out of date. The equipment in the factory is outdated and has no value at all. It can only be sold as scrap metal. But the current project is also about technology. The level is not high, it can even be said to be extremely low.
After confirming that he really had 100 million to spend on himself, Lao Shen's heart suddenly became hot - anyway, the money has been obtained. With this money, he can build a new team. With a team, the situation will be completely different. Now, he is still a serious director.
But building a tank, even one from decades ago, is not something that Lao Shen's current team can handle. Last night, he was just bragging and telling Zhou Qingfeng that he could handle it, but in fact, he couldn't handle it at all.
"Old Shen, I heard that you are getting rich?"
A shout woke up Lao Shen, who was full of melancholy. When he looked up, he saw that it was the deputy director in charge of technology of his factory. In the past, the two of them had never dealt with each other, but now that the factory is finished, any grudges and wishes have disappeared. Already.
"What do you want from me?"
"I heard you took on a special project."
"Yes, my superiors asked me to copy the IS-7, which was not mass-produced by the Soviet Union, and to use the technology of the 1950s to strengthen it. But building a tank is not just a matter of words. I don't have anything on hand. It's completely different. Discredit."
Lao Shen is really blind. Even if he now has a complete set of IS-7 information provided by Mao Xiong, the production line is not always available, and the workers are not always available.
However, the deputy factory director obviously came prepared. He smiled evilly and whispered: "There are still quite a lot of old workers in difficulty in the factory. If you are willing to take this project forward and work together, I will mobilize the entire factory to support you."
Are you targeting my 100 million yuan?
Just by looking at his face, Old Shen knew what the other party was up to. But he was at a loss and really needed help, so he immediately whispered and asked: "Do you have a way to build IS-7?"
"Your people have already shown me the plan record last night. Don't you just want an IS-7 shell and find a way to integrate the internal equipment? In fact, what the people who are tossing this thing want is a heavy tank.
What do you think about enlarging our 'Lao Wujiu'?"
This idea made Lao Shen's eyes light up, and he blurted out: "Are you going to do the '59 Magic Reform' again, and get an IS-7 shell outside?"
If you change 'Lao Wujiu', Bingzhou Tractor Factory will be familiar with it, so you really won't be afraid at all. According to Lao Shen's plan, many equipment can actually be ordered externally. For example, high-horsepower electric power systems and large-caliber artillery can be ordered externally.
It's ready-made, and for fire control, just use the 'Lao Wujiu' ones.
The deputy director poked Lao Shen again, rubbed his fingers and said, "I don't know how you got such shitty luck. The key is that you have money now, and people from the National Security Bureau are backing you. You can do a lot with 100 million."
Something happened.
Give each veteran worker in the factory an initial bonus of 10,000 yuan to boost morale. I guarantee that I can recruit a capable team of more than 100 people. Design in one week, prototype in one week, testing in one week, production in one week, and it will be done in one month.
this project.
This tank does not have any advanced equipment, and the body is not valuable at all. As long as we design it well, 100 million is almost a net profit. With this money, the problems of our factory can be easily solved."
The deputy director's words made Lao Shen feel hot in his heart. The other party's analysis was clear and logical, and it was extremely feasible. The key was that if the matter was successful, he would stand up. He might be able to set up a design team by himself, so why would he need to go to someone else's?
Looking at people's faces under the eaves?
"It seems that this project really requires a lot of effort. Although it is not technically difficult, a lot of effort must be put into the integration to make the finished product as high-quality as possible. At least it must be worthy of the 100 million soft girls who started this weird project.
Coins, maybe there are follow-up tasks that can be done."
After Lao Shen figured it out, he just wanted to sing a song to the sky, feel refreshed, and walk with wind. But when he heard that he had a weird project to build an old tank, the entire Bingzhou Tractor Factory was in an uproar, and it took less than half a day, not to mention more than a hundred
There are so many people, and five to six hundred old workers have come out to try to make extra money.
Moreover, money can make a difference these days. In order to keep the 100 million yuan in funding, the deputy director found connections to get several heavy tank design plans that were studied in China and Mao Xiong in the last century. He also subcontracted the project and found
Multiple research institutes work together in division of labor.
In less than a week, under the tinkering of a group of old guys headed by Lao Shen, a heavy tank plan using the IS-7 shell and the 'Lao 59' core, integrating the world's best technologies from the 1950s, was completed.
Already.
Judging from the computer simulation, this retro tank has basically achieved the optimization of firepower, armor, and mobility. It can dominate the land battlefields of sixty years ago and can be regarded as the most powerful heavy tank.
