Chapter 133: Conservative and ignorant of innovation
"Sister Wu, what's going on today?"
The commendation meeting didn't last long, and it adjourned after just over an hour. Walking back while eating melon seeds, Wu Limin met several old acquaintances, female workers of about the same age.
Hearing this question, Wu Limin's face showed a mocking smile: "Humph, Lao Ma and the others were tricked by Qin Zhenhua. You still can't tell, Qin Zhenhua, he is here to avenge Lao Qin."
This is not a derogatory term. Qin Zhenhua can make Ma Panshan and the others defeated. That is Qin Zhenhua's ability. Moreover, there is no need to worry about Qin Zhenhua being put on the back foot. If Qin Zhenhua has made outstanding contributions to technology, it is definitely a must to go to the tank design institute.
A matter of minutes.
"What happened in the original accident?" Someone asked again. After all, the factory was extremely confidential about that incident. Only people like Wu Limin were in the data room, where they were exposed to all kinds of people and could do all kinds of things.
Only those who inquire will know more about the inside story.
"About half a year ago, there was an accident when Lao Qin was testing the artillery. At that time, three people on the tank were dead." Wu Limin knew it as expected: "Later, after the accident was investigated, the factory did not take responsibility and thought
How to shirk the responsibility? Anyway, Lao Qin is gone, so simply put the responsibility on Lao Qin. According to the statement at the time, Lao Qin took action without the approval from the superiors. This is against discipline. Just give it to those people
Chance."
This is also a normal thing. After this era, if you can't pass the blame, is it still possible?
There are casualty indicators in the army, which are not found in the factory. If three people died all of a sudden, it was definitely a major accident. It is normal to blame Qin Zhenhua's father. Then, in order to appease the old Qin family, he also asked
Qin Zhenhua entered the factory, originally thinking that this would be the end of it.
As a result, Qin Zhenhua came and cleared his father's name. Now, the factory leaders had a good time.
"By the way, in the past few months, a group of senior masters from the R&D laboratory have gone to the tank design institute. Could it be related to this matter?"
Wu Limin nodded: "You can relate to it, it must be related. Lao Qin is the soul of our tank design institute. He has been treated like this. Naturally, many people are angry. Look at the current R&D room, it has degenerated into
What's going on? The technological progress in the factory actually came out of the maintenance workshop."
It's rare for Wu Limin to be able to express such a lofty metaphor as the soul, and after today's meeting, all kinds of discussions were endless.
For most people, it is still a spectator, but for those involved, it is not so pleasant.
After the meeting, Minister Zhu acted resolutely and immediately ordered an investigation. Of course, it was very simple. When there was an accident last time, more than one shell was produced. After the accident, the remaining shells were sealed. Now, move them out.
At first glance, they were all rusty.
If there is no suitable composite material, the bullet holder should be made of aluminum alloy. However, at that time, I don’t know whether it was to save money for the factory or for other reasons, but the bullet holder was made of iron. The processing of this thing is definitely not as good as that of aluminum alloy.
convenient.
By simply measuring it with a vernier caliper, you can see that the processing accuracy is seriously inconsistent. Some are too small and will leak when they are inserted, while some are too large and will definitely get stuck when they come out. The shell will get stuck inside and the chamber will explode again.
Nothing more than normal.
Looking at the investigation results, the entire leadership team in the factory was extremely embarrassed. Ma Panshan lowered his head: "This accident is indeed not Lao Qin's responsibility. As the leader of the factory, I have to bear the main responsibility."
.”
"Old horse." Minister Zhu sighed: "Do you still remember the No. 1 Machinery Factory in the past? At that time, where did the vigor and hard work of the No. 1 Machinery Factory go? You are a production factory, but...
You are also a production factory with strong technology. You originally had this foundation, but what about now?"
Minister Zhu's words were filled with a tone of resentment: "How is the mapping and imitation project of the M48 tank going? In addition to the torque converter, have other imitations been successful?"
Don't think I'm easy to fool!
Minister Zhu actually understood it in the morning. He just wanted to give them a chance. Maybe it was a glitch. After all, this was a major project and he also expected good results. Later, he finally
I discovered that the technology research and development here is not in the R&D room, but in the maintenance workshop.
Minister Zhu was very satisfied with the results of the armor-piercing projectiles, and the manner in which Qin Zhenhua’s words were all for the sake of the troops moved Minister Zhu even more. This was the No. 1 machine factory he knew!
Ma Panshan turned his head and glanced at Zhou Xuejun. Zhou Xuejun was shaking his head. Sure enough, the fault had not been eliminated yet. It seemed that there was no way to deny it.
"Lao Ma, a new era has arrived. The country has begun to correct the chaos and focus on economic construction. The past era is over. If you only know how to stick to the old ways and don't know how to pioneer and innovate, you can't master it.
Let me tell you something about the rudder of the machine factory first. Neither the 59 tanks nor the 69 tanks can meet the needs of the troops. Moreover, the number of 59 tanks is huge, so in the future, if there are no new tanks, then the machine factory will
, I’m afraid half of the workshops will stop working.”
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, hitting everyone on the head.
After the No. 1 Machinery Factory was first established, it manufactured tanks. The 59 tank was built for nearly twenty years and thousands of tanks were produced. Now, it is saturated.
Although there are still threats from the north, the performance of the 59 tanks is insufficient and they cannot compete with the advanced tanks on the opposite side. They can only win by relying on numbers. A few thousand tanks are enough.
The small-scale improved 69 tanks simply cannot meet the needs of the troops. When both the West and the Soviet Union have entered the ranks of third-generation tanks, what is the use of still producing one-generation tanks in China?
If no advanced tanks come out yet, the demand for 59 tanks and 69 tanks will be less and less in the future.
Since Ma Panshan became the director of the factory, he has always been striving for stability and ensuring that no mistakes are made under all circumstances. However, if he is determined to make progress, he does not have this ability.
Minister Zhu has also seen it.
When an accident occurs, the first thing that comes to mind is how to cover it up and how to minimize the impact of the accident. The best design has been covered up like this. If Qin Zhenhua hadn't come out of nowhere, there would be no hope for the army now.
of.
It is impossible to live a peaceful life as before, because the size of the army cannot be further expanded.
Now, Minister Zhu is going to give them a beating.
