"Old Zhao, you are really good!" The next day, when Zhao Guodong and Qin Zhenhua and his group appeared at the Second Machinery Factory, Xie Huimin, the director of the Second Machinery Factory, was also very happy.
Back then, when Zhao Guodong was still in the workshop of the first machine factory, Xie Huimin was the director of the second machine factory. There was a friendship between the two parties. Now, everyone's positions are different. Xie Huimin became the director of the second machine factory.
, and Zhao Guodong even went to the capital and became an official there. The Northern Company exported to the outside world, so although he was not a direct superior of the Second Machinery Factory, he was also a good partner.
The relationship between the two sides is very harmonious. Now, Zhao Guodong is here in person, how can he upset Xie Huimin?
At this time, Zhao Guodong was visiting the production of PLZ45 self-propelled howitzer. This howitzer has been successfully exported to Keguo. This is a rare breakthrough. After all, he is a traditional importer of Western weapons, which is enough to show that his products can already be
It was a competition with Western products. In the past, this was something I could not even think about.
Now, the news brought by Zhao Guodong made Xie Huimin even more happy.
The country plans to carry out the 9910 project. What does these words mean? People inside the military industry system are clear. It can be said that this is a beacon of the military industry. Wherever they shine, they are
A piece of light.
So far, the troops are still using 152mm howitzers. No matter how far behind this kind of howitzer is, in short, the caliber of the artillery cannot be changed immediately. After all, this is related to the huge ammunition reserve.
The old caliber, after decades of use, has already had a large number of reserves. If the caliber is changed rashly, it means that the previous shells cannot be used. I don’t know when the war will come, and those reserves
The old shells may work? It’s a pity to destroy them, so once the caliber of weapons is determined, it will not change rashly.
Just like a rifle, after studying in China for so many years, it has only used 5.8mm caliber as the standard caliber of the next generation. This is to consider the large inventory of 7.62mm bullets. As for cannons, you have to be more careful.
The shells are often thousands or even tens of thousands, so how can they be wasted?
The 155mm howitzer has many advanced features compared to the original 152mm howitzer, with nearly doubled range and greater potential in the future. However, the Army is still unwilling to use it immediately.
This 9910 project is a good opportunity.
By doing this, the interval between the last military parade has reached 15 years. Therefore, this military parade must bring out the advanced things within 15 years. It is impossible that every military parade will be displayed with old antiques.
Therefore, there must be advanced howitzers. The backward 152mm howitzers in the past were meaningless. Only when the advanced 155mm howitzers were taken out can they represent the true strength of the artillery of the great Eastern powers.
In this case, the Army has to purchase it. Only after the Army purchases it can it be considered as the Army's weapon. As long as this opening is opened, the Army will definitely continue to purchase this howitzer with advanced performance in the future.
So, now that Zhao Guodong has revealed this rumor, Xie Huimin felt so happy.
"Old Xie, this is just a rumor. It's still unclear whether it is true or not. So, if there is no such project at that time, don't blame me." Zhao Guodong said to Xie Huimin.
Xie Huimin nodded: "That's natural, Lao Zhao, can you tell us this? That's how can we blame our friends? At noon today, we had dinner at our Second Machinery Factory a few days ago, and it happened to be a good one.
Box of Moutai, we won’t be drunk and don’t return.”
I’ll just say, it’s really good, it’s worth installing, but it’s supported by Android and iPhone!
Xie Huimin was very happy. It was not easy for Zhao Guodong to come back, so he had to stay for dinner and have a good time.
"I've thanked, have you developed new models of 155mm howitzer? Or have you been relying on your old capital?" Qin Zhenhua asked from the side.
Hearing this, Xie Huimin had a proud face: "If we don't develop, we will fall behind sooner or later, and we will be eliminated. Our second machine factory is a cannon, so we will build the best cannon in the world. Now
, We are undergoing serial development of this 155mm howitzer, anyway, we have funds now."
The last time I successfully exported, I made a lot of money at once. With so much money, of course I have to continue to do R&D. Xie Huimin knew that if I don’t do R&D or make progress, I will be eliminated in the future.
"Oh? Tell me," Qin Zhenhua asked.
"First of all, it is to lengthen the barrel." Xie Huimin said: "The existing howitzer is 45 times the caliber. Now, if you want to further improve its potential, it is best to lengthen the barrel. We plan to lengthen it to 52 times the caliber
, increase its range a lot."
One of the important reasons for successful bidding from Keguo was that its howitzer was long. Now, Xie Huimin wants to continue to develop this advantage and then increase the range. Moreover, starting from the increase of the gun barrel, the gun barrel will be extended.
Achieve the goal of longer range.
"Extended gun barrel? Can you process it?" Qin Zhenhua asked strangely.
Speaking of lengthening the barrel, it is not easy. After all, the longer the barrel, the more difficult it is to process. The barrel is a steel ingot with electroslag remelted steel. A small hole is processed on it and then put it into it.
The hole gradually expands, and during the processing process, the error must be guaranteed to be within a certain range before it can be made. The longer the barrel, the more difficult it is to ensure accuracy.
"What's the difficulty? There are many excellent technicians in our second machine factory. Now, our task is to be handed over to our boring master." Xie Huimin said, heading towards the one in the distance.
The master of Kong Processing pointed: "Rong Qiang, he was just named a national model worker this year."
At this time, Rong Qiang was working there seriously, and his work required excellence, so he turned a deaf ear to various sounds outside.
"Your machine factory has a group of masters with superb skills, just like welder Master Lu. Our machine factory has a group of masters like this, which is no worse than your machine factory." Xie Huimin said.
Hearing this, Qin Zhenhua suddenly had a thought flashing through his mind and said to Zhao Guodong: "Uncle Zhao, can you report it to your superiors, organize a skill assessment within our system, and then select the chief technician in our industry.
,how?"
Chief technician? Everyone was stunned and didn't keep up with Qin Zhenhua's ideas.
