Chapter 258 Debate
The heavy rain fell from the sky like broken beads, and the sky was covered with clouds, and it was dark and gloomy all the way to the horizon.
The rainfall is too high, and a shallow layer of water is formed on the ground, and then it slides down the slope into the drainage ditch, and is sent to the sewer by one drainage ditch, entering a special drainage pipe. The drainage pipe is connected to the Salwin River, and the boiling water splashes out from the drainage port and falls to the Taotao River surface.
The old man on the train who expressed dissatisfaction with Guan Fei was sitting in the seat of the tourist bus, looking at the street view in the rain outside through the window glass.
He has been in the new city for a week, and he has become commonplace for such heavy rain since he was surprised at the beginning.
"That's how it is. From June, July, August, there will be a lot of rain. It is said that 70% of the annual precipitation will be concentrated within half a year, and more than half will be concentrated in these months. When you are old, you will have a week of rain every day, and you will not have the chance to take you out for a trip." The old experts who were selected by the Ministry of Machinery and followed the General Staff Research Team to the base area and said with a smile.
"It's also different to say whether to play or not. I'm here all the way, not for the sake of traveling. What I think is the technical reform conference to be held today. I want to see the commander who can express some insights and what kind of improvement plans can he come up with after removing our 59th improvement model." Old man Zhu didn't, looking at the hazy rain curtain outside and said sarcastically.
He said he hadn't gone out for a trip, but for a week, he often walked around and looked around. Through the radio and newspapers, he had enough knowledge of this new city.
After seeing the seven-story building in China and the tall buildings in the new city, he was very touched by him. After learning about the base exhibition, he also felt a little respect and goodwill for Commander Guan, who had never met.
However, every time I think of their hard-working works, they are roughly dismantled into a pile of parts, the anger in my heart can never be calmed down.
Our improved tanks are so useless that you don’t like it?
Regarding the technical director of the tank improvement project, this is the biggest denial of his professional and technical ability, and he can't be happy no matter what he says.
At most, it would be good to be able to calm down.
He can't even greet the person who has dismantled his beloved baby!
Unhappy with him, the other experts from the Department of Machinery 5 can understand it. Everyone is a skilled person. They worked hard and worked hard to make it even more vigilant. The design he thought was able to do was treated like a piece of rubbish and was completely denied. It was indeed difficult to accept emotionally.
But they have been here for the past few months and have seen more things. They are well aware of the base area and understand that the other party may really look down on domestic weapons. Look at the automatic rifle. At the beginning, they were useless and had to use them for five or six. However, with a little bit of self-control, they immediately changed to the small-caliber automatic rifle they studied, and even the ammunition was produced by themselves.
Bulletproof vests, rotorcrafts, and even grenade launchers are all made by themselves.
The level of precision, various performance indicators, and actual combat feedback are not inferior to foreign troops such as Europe and the United States. Even authentic Soviet weapons may not be better than base areas.
From this and that, the base area was not satisfied with the effect of the Wujiu modification and decided to re-made it after the entire overturn. They were not surprised at all.
It’s really that people have too high vision!
But from the bottom of their hearts, they really want to see Guan Fei, and come up with an improvement plan that makes them shine on the Type 59 tank.
Not to mention the intimate relationship between the base and the country, from the perspective of actual interests, the technology mastered by the base is not said to be unavailable as long as the domestic wants. This is the case with cement production lines, tunnel kilns, digital lathes, precision science and education instruments, vacuum remelting furnaces, Type 79 automatic rifles, 5.8 mm caliber bullets, bulletproof vests, bulletproof ceramic inserts, and so on!
These technologies have made significant contributions to helping domestic technology improve!
Domestic cement production is expanding rapidly year by year, steel quality is rapidly improving, special alloy production and quality are progressing leaps and bounds, and even military light weapons research has greatly absorbed the advanced technology of the base area.
Over the past few years, national production and defense industries have benefited a lot.
Aircraft, tank, warship, missile, rocket, it can be said that all departments have benefited directly or indirectly from it, and have made rapid progress.
Take this Wujiu modification for example. Because it uses high-quality gun steel smelted through a vacuum remelting furnace, the same 105 mm caliber tank gun has increased its pressure bearing capacity and life by more than double, and the penetration power and range of the shells fired have been greatly improved.
The same is true for tank motives. The use of higher quality special alloys, and the motivation life was increased to 600 hours at once, and it was over the motorcycle hours of authentic Soviet tanks. With the same design, the power increased to 680 horsepower. Although the tracks and transmission mechanisms have not been changed, it was for cost considerations, so try to use stock parts as much as possible instead of not having the ability to improve them.
The electronic equipment used in the tank also produced better quality components because the production lines transferred from the base area, so the performance was greatly improved.
Not to mention the active weapons, new weapons and new equipment under development have fully adopted new technologies.
For example, after using high-quality alloy materials smelted by vacuum remelting furnaces, the obstacles caused by the failure of materials have disappeared. The ground interview machine has been very effective and has fully realized the expected design requirements. It has been submitted to the equipment department for acceptance and finalization. The accompanying J-9 also greatly accelerated the research progress due to the advancement of materials, and many previous difficulties have been solved.
Mastering vacuum smelting technology is a strategic breakthrough for the country!
The value is immeasurable.
To be honest, even these benefits obtained from the base area are enough to improve the level of national defense industry in the country for five to ten years!
The troops are now out of money. If the military spending is sufficient, they fully absorb and digest these new technologies and replace the original weapons with newly developed equipment, the combat effectiveness of the entire army will be enough to improve a level. They are not afraid to compare with Western countries such as the United States, but they are close to or reach the level of Soviet weapons and equipment. These experts dare to now issue military orders to their superiors.
So although they were a little disrespectful to Mr. Zhu, they wanted to participate in this improvement design conference for the Type 59 tank from the bottom of their hearts.
Perhaps they will have unexpected new gains at this meeting.
Everyone is quite looking forward to this.
With a different attitude, the experts from the General Staff Research Team, the general assembly and the general rear rank came to the military command.
Guan Fei warmly welcomed their arrival with the researchers involved in this technological transformation.
After the greetings between the two sides, they came to a conference room on the top floor of the headquarters office building. More than 100 people crowded the conference room.
The conference room is more than 120 square meters, and for today's meeting, it was specially redesigned.
Two new rows of long conference tables were added behind both sides of the original oval conference table, which were arranged in a pattern similar to the United Nations venue. There is enough room between the front and rear conference tables. If there is something to enter and withdraw, it will not affect others when entering and exiting.
After being kind to the meeting, both parties took their seats on both sides.
Staff came and went, bringing tea to everyone.
Guan Fei sat in the meeting host position and demonstrated to Xia Zhongyuan, who was leading the team, the general manager of the Fifth Machinery Department, and clamped a lapel-type micro wireless microphone to the collar of the military uniform. He turned on the switch and smiled and said, "This way, you won't be afraid of sitting far away and not being able to hear clearly, so that everyone can speak freely and communicate and learn."
His voice was received by the microphone, and then a wireless signal was transmitted, and then sent through the amplifier to a circle of surround speakers hanging on the top of the conference room, which was transmitted.
Even the scientific researchers in the base area were not familiar with this device. They looked up curiously and clamped the microphone to the collar as he looked.
But as this happened, it was hard for everyone to exchange greetings and the conference room soon became quiet.
As the host, Guan Fei stood up first and said, "Today's meeting is to discuss the improvement plan for the Type 59 tank. To this end, we convened representatives of technical experts from the base area in machinery and electronics, and a total of more than 50 people participated in the meeting. How to change the tank is a very unfamiliar topic for us. Therefore, we also specially invited the assembly and the experts from the General Assembly to attend together, especially the chief engineer Zhu, who was the domestic 59 improvement research, to come and guide. Here I would like to express my warm welcome and thank you on behalf of all the commanders and fighters, cadres and masses in the base area!"
During his introduction, researchers from various research institutes and units stood up to greet everyone. Xia Zhongyuan and other General Staff, General Assembly, General Staff, and the experts from the Fifth Machinery Department also nodded.
Although Mr. Zhu was tough in the car, he did not show up in the conference room. Although his expression was cold, when he introduced him, he also owed his body slightly to other colleagues.
It took nearly half an hour to get to know each other after introducing them in one circle.
"So, let's first understand some basic situations of the Type 59 tank so that everyone can discuss this."
Guan Fei picked up the remote control panel, pressed it, turned off the several main lights on the top of the conference room, leaving only a circle of faint lights against the wall, and then turned on the high-definition engineering projector and computer on the top. In the heavy rain outside and the dark weather, these lights can prevent the room from appearing too dark, but will not affect the projection effect.
The two-meter-wide projection screen allows the person sitting at the end to clearly see the content above.
The projection was projected on the screen, showing the computer's boot screen. Looking at the words "Northern War Zone Command Digital System, 1.o Trial Version" appearing on the screen, the members of the domestic research team whom they first met showed a surprised expression.
"Commander Guan, you have been surprised to us again and again. After a few days of not seeing you, you have also created the computer!" Xia Zhongyuan stood up in surprise, came to the computer used as a demonstration, and hugged himself and watched carefully. Several other cadres of higher levels also gathered over and were amazed.
Other domestic experts couldn't help but leave the seat and ran over, and the conference room suddenly became a mess.
Only the scientific researchers in the base areas smiled at each other and sat down in their own position. They actually used it for so long, and all the surprises had long passed.
Since they learned that the base has developed practical microprocessors and prepared such detailed applications and solutions, they have guessed that the base has planned to develop their own computer system.
It is one thing to expect, but it is another thing to see with your own eyes.
"Commander Guan, your computer," Xia Zhongyuan turned around and said salivatingly.
"No problem! We will open the supply of all you want." Guan Fei waved his hand generously, agreed without thinking, and then said tactfully, "Everyone might as well sit first. When the meeting is over, I will give you a detailed explanation and give you a few as samples."
"Okay, okay, do the serious business first!" Xia Zhongyuan and others were overjoyed and greeted the others with a smile and sat down in their respective positions.
Many technical experts took out their notebooks when they arrived at the location and wrote down the results of their observations.
Guan Fei waited for everyone to calm down again before he clicked the project to be researched in the scientific research box under the gaze, then clicked the "Type 59 Tank Improvement Project", and finally selected the slide demonstration program called "First Draft of Design Plan".
The projector light flashed and a demonstration slide appeared on the curtain.
On the picture, a picture of a Type 59 tank appeared, followed by the title Type 59 tank improvement design plan, first draft.
"Computers are indeed much more convenient than slide projectors." Xia Zhongyuan and other cadres of the headquarters turned off the microphone and whispered in a low voice.
"Yes, and looking at the displayed screen, this is a complete working system. A computer covers all fields such as military, civilian, scientific research, etc., and the office efficiency has been improved too high!"
Although their voices were small, Guan Fei could hear them clearly. He could only pretend not to know, and kept switching slides on the stage, talking freely, and gave a detailed introduction to the basic situation, local details, transmission mechanisms, electronic equipment, weapon systems, etc. of the Type 59 tank.
Each introduction is accompanied by relevant photos and specific images, which means that experts who are not very familiar with the Wujiu Tank have a relatively in-depth understanding after listening to it.
After the previous basic situation introduction, we jumped into the next paragraph.
On the curtain, the words required by the improvement plan are displayed.
Guan Fei used laser light spots and pointed the title of this line and said: "Weapons are ultimately used for combat, so as users, we naturally have our requirements.
For this renovation project, our requirement is "
He pressed the space bar and projected a line of text on the curtain: Renovation cost: single unit renovation cost, the lower limit is 300,000, and the upper limit is 600,000.
boom!
The meeting room could no longer be quiet, and everyone spoke in surprise.
Mr. Zhu, who had been silent before, couldn't help it at this moment, turned on the microphone and said, "The renovation cost of yours is too high, it is almost equal to the price of the entire car. And what does this lower limit mean? Is there a minimum requirement?"
"Yes! It's the minimum requirement! The setting of this lower limit is to show the base's attention to the improved model. It requires that the improved 59 tanks have a leaps and turns to change their performance, and also encourage technicians to use their imagination. Don't be limited to small-scale quarrels. As long as you have ideas, you can list them."
Guan Fei was calm and listed the troops' requirements one by one: "First, the tank's turret will be cancelled, and the original cast-type oval turret will be replaced with a welded turret."
"Why should the oval turret be cancelled? This turret can effectively improve defense and protect crew members. I personally do not agree with it!" Mr. Zhu interrupted him and questioned.
"As Mr. Zhu said, casting turrets and oval structures are both of practical significance. For example, casting turrets requires fewer tool molds, which is convenient for large-scale casting and low cost; oval turrets can easily allow the opponent's cannon to bounce and improve the protection of the turret." After reading the relevant technical reports, Guan Fei summarized a very specific cognitive system based on the parameters in the game database, which of course he would not easily refute.
"However, castings are prone to sand holes during the pouring process, causing structural damage and reducing the actual use effect of the turret. Moreover, casting turrets cannot use new composite armor. In modern times, when anti-tank weapons are penetrating, the disadvantages of casting turrets have become increasingly prominent.
In addition, with the development of weapons, anti-tanks are increasingly using anti-tank missiles. Under the attack of precise anti-tank missiles, the low turret and oval appearance are no longer enough to protect themselves. No matter how the frontal target is reduced, it cannot escape the precise attack of anti-tank missiles. It can be said that it has lost its original design intention."
In the conference room, Guan Fei's clear and steady voice sounded, with reasonable and well-foundedness. Even if he was in a positive debate with Mr. Zhu, he would not be at all inferior. He was an expert in tank armored vehicles. No one could tell that he was a layman in tanks before.
Mr. Zhu gradually restrained his disgust and hostile attitude towards him, and began to have very professional discussions on various transformation technologies, design requirements, and technical implementation. Obviously, in his heart, he had recognized Guan Fei's professional and technical level and regarded him as a peer, rather than an outsider who knew nothing and pointed at him.
As the discussion unfolded, other experts at the meeting also took part in the battle and started more and more in-depth discussions, debates, and even debates on their professional content.
Chapter completed!
