"During the day today, I received instructions from my superiors again," Ma Panshan said.
It is already night now. I don’t know when it will start. Factory affairs meetings of the No. 1 Machinery Factory always like to be held at night. For a military factory, it is also a time of complete silence. Maybe it was during the day and night in previous years.
It is a habit developed by working overtime. Now, although there are fewer orders from the army and the factory can only produce during the day, this style has been retained.
This kind of factory affairs meeting can only be attended by leaders at the workshop director level, so there was a full room. At this time, everyone was waiting for Ma Panshan to continue to issue instructions.
In the past few days, everyone has gotten some news. From the M48 tank being secretly transported to the factory for research, to the factory director going to the capital for a meeting, to Mr. Zhu personally coming here to inspect, to today during the day, Ma Panshan received another call from his superiors.
This series of instructions and this series of events all indicate that the factory is about to have a new heavyweight task!
"The superiors attach great importance to advanced tank pre-research and also value the research capabilities of our first machine factory. Therefore, the superiors have given us the important task of mapping the transmission system of the imitation M48 tank." Ma Panshan said: "This is an honor.
We must not let down the trust of our superiors. This is just the beginning. It is said that our new tanks will be based on the Leopard-2!"
When Ma Panshan said this, most of the people present became excited.
Song Weize said enthusiastically: "I think back then, we were building the first hydraulic torque converter in China at Sifang Locomotive Factory, and later we were manufacturing three-fluid trucks at the 24th Battle. I had long thought that we could make great progress and go one step further.
Now, our country has finally decided to develop a new type of tank. The transmission system is the strength of our No. 1 Machinery Factory. Director Ma, as long as you win the task for us, our R&D room will never lose track! All of our
Technical personnel can write a letter of challenge!"
Domestic tanks are really lagging behind. Even the 69 tanks are tinkering with the 59 tanks. The gap with the West is at least twenty years. Now, we are finally planning to catch up and surpass them.
The other people were also in high spirits. Only Zhao Guodong, who was sitting below, shook his head and said: "It's Dayu Jin again!"
Yes, the hydraulic torque converter on the American M46 tank captured on the Korean battlefield was copied and a hydraulic transmission for a 1,000-horsepower shunting train was developed. This pioneered the use of hydraulic transmission for high-power vehicles.
But what about reliability? That car is dispatched back and forth in the station, and it often breaks down.
As for the three-liquid truck manufactured in the February 4th Battle, it suffered from constant failures and was eventually forced to give up. These were all caused by the poor domestic industrial base. Now, a new project is actually being launched. Of course, Zhao Guodong is not denying the launch of new projects.
project, but negated the goal, and actually proposed to reach the level of Leopard 2!
What is the Leopard 2? It was pre-researched only in 1970. It was only this year, in 1977, that it was officially finalized and equipped with the latest tank for the army! A 120mm smoothbore gun, a 1500-horsepower engine, and an advanced fire control system.
Can these be produced in China?
When engaging in scientific research, there must be no falsehood. Even if it is a new project or a new technology, you will have to fail many times before it succeeds. When engaging in scientific research, you cannot just set lofty goals. This is not the same era.
What are the characteristics of it? The 69 tanks currently produced by our side are still first-generation. We originally planned to develop second-generation tanks, but we don’t have the capability yet. But now, we are about to move forward to third-generation tanks like Leopard-2?
Zhao Guodong's voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it. Ma Panshan could only smile helplessly. This old Zhao was upright and had offended many people. Otherwise, the position of deputy director would be lost.
It's his. However, he still doesn't understand many things. Of course, Ma Panshan knows that self-research is not possible. Now, there is another way!
"Old Zhao, I don't like to hear what you say." Song Weize said: "The past was the past, and the present is the present. If we failed in the past, we would always be afraid of moving forward. Without failure, how can there be success? We must use development
Looking at the problem from a perspective, let alone the projects after the launch of the new tank, for now, we are full of confidence in the mapping and imitation of the M48 tank in front of us!"
Zhao Guodong knew that he could easily offend others. What he just said was just his own emotion, and he could not influence the decision of his superiors. Now, when Song Weize argued with him like this, he was not polite: "Confidence, where does your confidence come from? After studying for a week,
And you haven’t installed the transmission system of the M48 tank?”
This sentence is harsh enough, but it is also the actual situation. They have indeed struggled for a long time. However, after hearing Zhao Guodong's words, Song Weize did not feel embarrassed: "Yes, this is my confidence.
It was Qin Zhenhua, whose craftsmanship was so superb that even Mr. Zhu praised him repeatedly. He visited our R&D room in the afternoon and solved the problem easily."
After saying that, he turned to Ma Panshan: "Director Ma, in the morning, he used CNC machine tools to process the parts for our employee competition and became the first place in today's competition. In the afternoon, he repaired it again
He has mastered the transmission system of the M48 tank. Such a talent is really rare. As long as he enters our R&D room, he will definitely be able to complete the task assigned by his superiors!"
If Song Weize really didn't have confidence before, but today, he has regarded Qin Zhenhua as his treasure. Today, through this meeting, he just got Qin Zhenhua over.
Is this poaching Zhao Guodong? Of course not. Their maintenance workshop is originally to contribute workers to other workshops. Excellent apprentices are trained and then enter other workshops, so he can't hide it.
Ma Panshan nodded: "Yes, this kid is really good. There are not many talented people in our factory who specialize in technology."
"However, director, he still has a condition." Song Weize quickly stated the condition.
After hearing these conditions, sitting next to Ma Panshan, Niu Shilong, the deputy director in charge of human resources, immediately slapped the table: "Humph, you dare to make demands, where can such a worker be found? He is still an apprentice worker, regardless of skill.
No matter how high it is, our factory can’t have it!”
After saying that, Niu Shilong turned to look at Ma Panshan and said, "Director Ma, he is clearly challenging us with the support of Commander Huang."
Ordinary workers could not recognize the old man who came that day. All the leaders in the factory were very nervous at that time. Qin Zhenhua used Commander Huang's support to make the factory make personnel changes and replace Liu Jianli.
, Niu Shilong was already holding back his anger.
Commander Huang, he's in charge of the armored forces.
Now, when I heard that this guy wanted to enter the R&D room that everyone envied in the factory, and he actually had to put forward conditions, I immediately became even more angry. Such a worker must not be tolerated!
