When the country reopened, everyone was surprised to see a result that they didn't want to admit but had to admit: they fell behind.
During the time when the country was in ruins due to turmoil, Western technology was developing rapidly. When I woke up, I felt that a huge gap had been opened by others.
Wanting to catch up and learn from the West, they also developed an inexplicable admiration for Western equipment. From the late 1970s to the 1980s, and even into the 1990s, this trend continued
Shrouded in the minds of many people, many times, this kind of worship is blind.
The West will never export advanced things to the big Eastern countries. The purpose of the West is very simple. On the one hand, it is to make money, and on the other hand, it is to improve the weapons level of the big Eastern countries within limits, so that it can compete with the Soviet Union. That's all.
So, if you want a 120mm tank gun? No way, we can only give you a 105mm tank gun. If you want a 1200-horsepower engine of the Challenger tank? No way! A 1500-horsepower engine of the Leopard-2 tank is even more impossible.
Although they agreed to export the 8V331 civilian engine, the Germans were like a mirror in their minds. To increase its power to 1,500 horsepower would require an improvement in the country's overall industrial level. And for a long time, the big Eastern countries
It's impossible to achieve.
However, in the eyes of most people, they are still full of admiration for the West and believe that Western things are the best. Therefore, it is not surprising that this project can be recognized by most people.
Moreover, everyone has done this in the past, mapping and imitating Soviet products, and there seems to be no big problem. It is only after we start mapping Western products that we discover the huge differences.
Now, Qin Zhenhua is mentally prepared for these. He will never think that just by relying on his own deception, the country will put the power system of the future tank engine on the first machine factory.
This bet is that after all, the current diesel engine research and development strength of the No. 1 engine factory is the weakest.
Only by making some achievements can they win everyone's recognition and finally become the most reliable driving force for domestic tanks. However, in this process, a lot of hard work is still needed.
Now, when it is brought up for the first time, it is just sensationalism. Although everyone is eye-opening, but when it comes to choices, I still choose the 8V165 project. Qin Zhenhua can understand this.
Of course, this does not mean that he has given up. After all, this meeting, the research and development of this engine is actually only one part of the discussion. Another important part is the question of who will win the second-generation tank project. This project,
This is the one Qin Zhenhua must fight for.
At this time, next to Qin Zhenhua, Ma Panshan was already a little restless.
Isn't this just to make a fool of oneself? In the morning, he spoke so convincingly, thinking that he would be recognized by everyone, and then be approved by his superiors. Ma Panshan's mood ranged from hope to disappointment, and he was naturally a little anxious.
"Among the three plans, I agree with the plan of No. 1 Machinery Factory." Finally, when it was Mr. Zhu's turn to speak, he chose to side with Qin Zhenhua.
"The research and development of our tank engines is very difficult. However, if we only rely on surveying and mapping to imitate, then I will always be in a situation of knowing what is happening but not knowing why." Mr. Zhu said: "In our previous imitation.
There was also a soap incident in China, and everyone present should be aware of it. Although this road of independent research and development will be difficult, we can only know its significance only by going through it once."
In the 1960s, we were surveying and copying a certain type of Soviet equipment, and found a piece of soap inside. There were different opinions on the purpose of this soap. Some said it was used for lubrication, and some said it was used for weighting. In short, everyone said
It's not clear, but no one dares to change it. The same equipment that our own side surveyed and imitated also has a piece of soap in it.
It wasn't until later, when I had the opportunity to consult Soviet experts, that I finally found out. It turned out that the Soviet experts had just put it in there when they were washing their hands!
It was a big mistake, but the problems behind this incident are thought-provoking. China has always been on the road of surveying and imitation. Without any self-research capabilities, it will never be possible to progress or develop.
Zhu Lao has expressed his position, and there are also a few experts who stand on Zhu Lao's position and say that self-research should be followed, including Professor Wang Limin and Professor Cao Jianli. However, not many people hold this view.
We know our own foundation, self-research? How is that possible? We can’t do surveying, mapping and imitation, and we still do self-research? This is just a castle in the air.
They are not optimistic. No matter how good the slides are, they cannot change the current situation of the domestic industry.
Throughout the afternoon meeting, the issues of these three options were discussed. Everyone had almost expressed their positions, and the results were about to come out.
Minister Zhu looked at Qin Zhenhua and asked Qin Zhenhua: "Do you have anything else to say at the No. 1 Machinery Factory?"
The 8V165 plan was proposed by the Coal Provincial Diesel Engine Factory. Although the engine research institute finally took the initiative, it was not a complete failure after all. They would jointly work with the engine institute. Only the No. 1 Engine Factory
A state-of-the-art plan was shot down, but Minister Zhu was still very concerned about his thoughts.
At this time, General Zhang also looked over. It was the first time for him to meet this young man Qin Zhenhua, but he was already deeply impressed. Although his project was abandoned because it was too advanced, it still could not cover up his brilliance.
In the future, he will be an effective member of the industry.
"We respect the opinions of the experts." Qin Zhenhua said: "We know that the experts present have various concerns, and we also obey the organization's arrangements. However, we will not back down on the development of the 150HB diesel engine. Our superiors do not support it.
, we, the machine factory itself, will continue to do it even if we are trying to sell iron at the expense of others!"
Ma Panshan's eyes were in a trance, you guy, you are stupid, you really dare to say anything, you are still not convinced, you want to confront everyone present!
Smashing the pot to sell iron? Do you think you are the director of the factory? I am!
At this moment, Ma Panshan wanted to slap Qin Zhenhua awake, but Qin Zhenhua's next words moved everyone present.
"Although we don't know how many difficulties are waiting for us, and we don't know where we will end up, many experts present will think that we are overestimating our capabilities. However, we know that the interests of the country are above all else, and the interests of the military are higher.
Above all, our first machine factory is to manufacture the best tanks for the country and the army. We also know that our tanks need advanced power, so we must work hard in this field and strive to be the best.
Well, in this way, we can step in at any time when the motherland needs it. Because we know that it is dangerous to put all the eggs in one basket."
