Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 540
After seeing Yuan Xuedong leave, Duan Yun frowned.

On the surface, Yuan Xuedong seemed to be courting him for peace, but Duan Yun understood that he was not that kind of person at all.

This guy must still not let go of his hatred for taking away the manager position of the labor service company, and he must have other plans in his heart.

But now Duan Yun is in the limelight, whether in the city bureau or in the factory, he is a very popular figure, it is very difficult for Yuan Xuedong to move him, even impossible.

But the heart of defense is indispensable, Duan Yun still has to beware of Yuan Xuedong's traps and means.

After leaving the main factory, Duan Yun returned to the labor service company.

Putting on his overalls, he went straight to the workshop.

At present, Duan Yun's transmission test platform is nearing the end of the modification, and only some wiring connections are left. It is estimated that everything will be completed before get off work this afternoon.

With this automotive transmission test platform, the R&D and testing work of Duan Yun's new products will become very efficient.

At this point, Duan Yun has initially established a relatively complete product performance and quality inspection system in the labor service company, and has initially equipped a team and equipment for efficient research and development of new products.

Although this time he successfully completed the goal set by the Municipal Bureau to manufacture and produce domestically leading automotive transmission products, Duan Yun's ultimate goal is to break into the international market.

This is a very difficult task, and it can be said that it is basically impossible, because the current domestic industrial system cannot support the production of world-class products.

Whether it is in terms of equipment, raw materials or personnel, the country lags behind the international market by at least ten or even twenty to thirty years. Taking CNC machine tools as an example, in the early 30s, the penetration rate of CNC machine tools in Japan had reached 80%, while the domestic proportion Even less than 83%, they are basically concentrated in some key national military enterprises and research and development institutions. Even the CNC machine tools there are not the world's top, and they are just some ordinary international CNC lathes.

In the 80s, that is, in 83, there was a high-end lathe export event that shocked the world.

Before the 80s, the processing accuracy of Soviet CNC lathes was not high. When producing military submarine propellers, the processing accuracy and surface finish did not meet the design requirements, so when the propellers rotated, many empty guns would be produced, causing noise. , and to eliminate or reduce noise, it is necessary to ensure the machining accuracy of the propeller. Simply put, the continuous error of the curved surface must be small. This requires a multi-head linkage high-precision lathe to be formed under computer control, and the Soviet Union is in this regard. It has not even reached the third-rate standard, so it is naturally impossible to process qualified submarine propellers.

The Soviet Union once negotiated with the Italian company Danieli in 1970, hoping to purchase CNC lathes for processing ship propellers, but was blocked by the Americans. The Americans obviously did not want the Soviet Union to have such high-precision propeller processing capabilities.

But the Soviet Union did not give up on this. They found Japan's Toshiba Company and bought four high-precision CNC lathes at a high price of 35 billion yen. At that time, Japan's Toshiba Company was secretly delighted. The machine tool sold at such a high price, but in this transaction, the Soviet Union is the biggest beneficiary, and what they have obtained cannot be measured in money.

Due to the embargo regulations of the Paris Coordinating Committee, Japan could not directly deliver lathes to the Soviet Union, so Japan used Norway as a transfer point, because Norway is a NATO country, so it would not violate the ban. Dozens of boxes of machine tool parts were transported away at the terminal. This was the "Toshiba incident" that shocked the world.

In the end, these four small machine tools changed the situation in the United States and the Soviet Union, and the US Navy lost the advantage of detecting the underwater sound of Soviet submarines in an instant.

In the early 80s, although the relationship between my country and Western countries tended to ease, and the United States also opened up some high-tech products to the country, Western countries have been conducting domestic research on high-end machine tools related to the military industry. In the blockade, even if it is sold, it will sell some relatively ordinary civilian products, and it will definitely not sell the top good things.

Any top automobile manufacturing company in the world has its core technology, which cannot be obtained through direct purchase, unless the company is acquired or merged. However, this requires a lot of money, and it will also be subject to the governments of Western countries. hinder.

With Duan Yun's knowledge and ability, he can design the leading automobile gearbox in the 80s. When he was studying for a doctorate, he had seen many samples and drawings of the internationally advanced automobile gearbox at that time. The designs of several mainstream automotive gearbox products at that time were impressive.

Of course, as far as the current situation of domestic machine tool equipment is concerned, even if Duan Yun has the design drawings of future automobile gearboxes, it is impossible to produce these things. The raw materials and equipment are not up to standard, which means that these advanced designs of later generations can only be A castle in the air.

Therefore, Duan Yun still has a lot to do if he wants to make a car gearbox that can enter the world market.

Now that the "Longteng" gearbox samples have been made, the next step will be to gradually optimize the process, reduce production costs, and prepare for mass production.

On the other hand, Duan Yun will also use his memory to draw some car gearbox blueprints he saw in his previous life, and temporarily use it as a technical reserve. After better equipment is in place, Duan Yun can start to develop more advanced car gearboxes.

The car gearboxes of later generations are basically automatic gearboxes, and there are also manual gearboxes, but the market share is not large.

As far as the current domestic situation is concerned, the production cost of automatic transmissions is too high, and it is not very inconvenient to maintain. This is obviously contrary to the requirements of Chinese people for cars, which are cheap, durable, and easy to maintain. So sometimes Advanced technology is not necessarily suitable for the national conditions of the country.

But Duan Yun's ultimate goal is the international market, so he must take the road of research and development of automatic transmissions. With the current equipment technology and funds not in place, Duan Yun needs to find another way and think of other methods.

High-end lathes need high-end spare parts. Duan Yun has no way to obtain these high-end machine tool spare parts through formal channels, so he needs some other special channels.

Compared with machine tools in Japan, Europe and the United States, the level of machine tools in Taiwan on the other side of the strait is slightly inferior, but it is also much higher than the level in China. Duan Yun's next plan is to set up an office in Xiamen, and then through some underground Channels, using the means of ants to move, step by step to obtain high-end equipment that cannot be obtained through conventional channels.
