A few days later, No. 1 Machinery Factory Railway Station.
In this era, railways are the most important means of transportation, so many large factories are directly connected by railways. Needless to say, the No. 1 Machinery Factory, which mainly produces tanks, even a chemical factory in a province has a dedicated railway line.
Access the entire domestic railway network through railway hubs.
At this time, a special passenger car was added at the end of a train transporting steel. After the train arrived at the station, the car door opened and a group of people walked out.
The leader was an old man in his sixties. He was short in stature and his face was already full of wrinkles. Only his eyes still shone with wisdom.
"Minister Zhu?" When he saw this old man, Ma Panshan was stunned: "Why are you here?"
Originally, it was said that the superiors were coming to inspect. Ma Panshan knew that it was the leaders from above who were coming, but he never expected that it was Minister Zhu who led the team.
He has had several ups and downs, and is now the deputy director of the Fifth Machinery Department for the third time. Time has left countless traces on his face, but he still looks optimistic and strong.
"Why, I can't come?" Minister Zhu asked rhetorically with a smile on his face, and Ma Panshan quickly replied: "Of course not, it's windy here on the grassland. Well, welcome, very welcome."
Behind him, a group of people came out, mainly the leaders of the department, and Director Wang of the Tank Design Institute...The one-armed Mr. Zhu was also among the crowd.
The car has already arrived at the station. It is an Yuanzheng brand bus. It has been around for some years. Although the interior of the car is clean and tidy, there is still a lot of seat foam exposed.
"Minister Zhu, would you like to go to the production line first?" Ma Panshan asked.
Every time he came over, he would go to the production line to take a look. After all, the tanks being produced there were the most urgently needed by the army. Ma Panshan still remembered that when Minister Zhu came over last time, he was very dissatisfied with the condition of the production line.
But he got mad on the spot.
However, that period of history has passed, and now the production line has returned to normal. After the leadership's task was issued, the factory even carried out a general cleaning, and everything was tidy.
"No, let's go take a look at the imitation project first." Minister Zhu said: "On the way here, everyone has been discussing, saying that your No. 1 machine factory has very good R&D capabilities."
"Yes, this is an old tradition of our factory." Ma Panshan said: "We have lived up to the trust of our leaders and have successfully completed the task. Now, our R&D room is ready. Lao Song, come up.
In the car, give a report to the leaders."
The minister came to inspect, and the time was very tight, so he couldn't waste any time. After all, since he came here, he definitely not only came to the first machine factory, but also to the second machine factory. Taking advantage of the journey from the station to the R&D room, he
It is quite necessary to report in this way, and it is also a practice of this era.
Song Weize tried his best to calm down, stood at the front of the car, behind the driver, and began to explain to the leaders.
"Here it comes, here it comes." Everyone in the R&D room was waiting. Now, listening to the roar of the bus in the distance, they quickly stopped the last cleaning they were doing, put down the rag, and saw the M48 tank prototype.
, has been polished brand new and shiny.
"Leaders, please come here. Everyone welcomes the leader's inspection!" The bus drove to the side of the M48 tank. Song Weize got out of the bus and began to introduce it.
Amid the welcome applause, he pointed to the tank next to him and said: "Under the wise leadership of Factory Director Ma, all the technical staff in our entire R&D room overcame various difficulties and, with the cooperation of other workshop departments, finally completed the work on time.
Having completed the important task assigned to us by our superiors, the hydraulic transmission system on this tank has been replaced by our imitation product for surveying and mapping. In recent days, a series of tests have been conducted. Compared with the original quality, there is no difference.
Decline."
This is what makes him most proud. It was not easy to finally complete this project.
At the same time, Song Weize could also have a premonition of something.
This time, there must be a purpose for so many big leaders to come and go straight to themselves. Now, the country's production and construction are stably recovering, and many delayed projects can be carried out. This hydraulic transmission system
What are the benefits of the imitation project?
Of course it's for the second generation tanks.
The bosses must be planning to relaunch second-generation tanks!
Whether it is our own surveying and mapping imitation, or the upcoming overseas inspection, in fact, they are all for the purpose of laying the groundwork for the development of second-generation tanks!
And our own research and development room will definitely participate in it!
Thinking of this, Song Weize's heart was filled with excitement.
"Well, we don't know the rest yet, but the hydraulic torque converter has been sent to the testing agency. We have gone through comprehensive tests and the performance is quite good." Together they studied around the tank, Mr. Zhu said from the side.
When Song Weize heard this compliment, he didn't know what he felt in his heart. Yes, the torque converter was quite good, but it had nothing to do with their R&D room.
Sure enough, Zhu Lao spoke again: "By the way, where is Xiao Qin?"
Mr. Zhu, there are so many technical staff in our R&D room, don’t you look down on any of them? Are you mentioning Qin Zhenhua at all times?
"Oh, Qin Zhenhua went on a business trip a few days ago. I don't know if he's back." Song Weize said, "I'll send someone over to have a look. Xiao Tang, please call and ask. If it doesn't work, find someone to work with and come over quickly."
"The power unit of our tank really looks different." Minister Zhu said: "Western tanks have already popularized hydraulic transmission systems. We also need to refuel. Now, let's run around for a while.
have a look."
I lifted up the armor at the back and looked at the engine, transmission, etc. inside. After only looking at it for a while, I couldn't see anything else.
Run and see!
"Xiao Du, get in!" Song Weize shouted. He was eager to start driving quickly. As long as he started driving and circled twice, the inspection of their R&D room would be over. After all, the hardships of imitation were explained in the car.
Now that I have seen the results again, it is enough. At most, I will wait until we are in the conference room and give some specific reporting materials.
As long as no one sees it, that's the best. After all, they replaced the transmission housing with the original one. What if someone with a sharp eye sees it?
"yes."
This is a rare opportunity. In front of so many big leaders, Du Youwen has made a splash.
etc!
"Minister Zhu, Minister Zhu, what are you doing?"
Minister Zhu actually climbed up the tank!
"I'm going up to have a feel. This Western tank is said to be very stable." Minister Zhu said, and with the help of several people, he climbed onto the turret!
Most of today's old leaders came from that war era. They have firm beliefs and are not weapons-only advocates, but they are also full of feelings for weapons.
Minister Zhu actually wants to go up there and experience it for himself?
The space inside the turret was quite good, so after Director Zhu went up, Director Wang followed him up second.
Du Youwen was in the front, making preparations calmly. This was his opportunity to perform. He must let the two leaders feel the smoothness of this automatic transmission tank.
Start, hit the accelerator, push to automatic gear control, step on the accelerator, and start walking!
The roar from behind became louder, and the tank body was shaking. However, the tank body did not start normally like the previous test runs.
Oops!
Du Youwen's heart suddenly sank.
When I tested the car yesterday, it was obviously fine. By the way, when I came back yesterday, I seemed to feel some dragging when I let go of the accelerator. However, I came back so late yesterday, so I thought it was because my feet were tired. Could it be that,
