Chapter 334 Another great moment from zero to one!
The cast iron cylinder head exuding silvery luster, brand new steel screws, and the iconic large cast steel flywheel are installed on the top of the water tank that can hold an egg.

"Fortunately, the assembly accuracy of the prototype is basically up to standard." Yu Hua put down the cast iron wrench, took a step back, and stared at the 12-horsepower single-cylinder diesel engine with a metallic texture on the workbench. Zhuang Qianding said.

Up to standard.

Although this is the first time for Yu Hua to assemble an engine by himself, he still has enough confidence to say this. First, because he designed this 12-horsepower single-cylinder diesel engine himself, and he has memorized every part by heart. It has been simulated hundreds of times.

"Papa papa!" Hearing this, Zhuang Qianding smiled, without the slightest doubt, nodded slightly, and then applauded.

In a blink of an eye, the five members of the milling team around saw this, and immediately showed joy, and immediately sent warm applause like a tide. They have studied with Zhuang Qianding for such a long time, and they have a high degree of education and a high level of cognition. The five of them fully understood the significance of the prototype in front of them.

This is the heart of Red Star Tractor!

The powertrain used to drive the tractor galloping in the base area.

With it, not only the Red Star tractor project has been more than half successful, but the base area has also ended the history that China could not produce engines before.

There is no doubt that this is another great moment from zero to one.

Emmm...

There is no way, in this China where there is almost no industrialization, any breakthrough in the field of industry or technology can be called a "breakthrough from zero to one".

Hearing the applause from the crowd, Yu Hua smiled slightly and said nothing. To be honest, building a single-cylinder diesel engine with little technical content would not give him a sense of accomplishment. There are two things to be happy about. One is to solve the problem of the Red Star tractor. The motivation problem, the second is to satisfy the interest deep in the heart.

After all, who wouldn't want to see classic tractors galloping on the anti-Japanese battlefield in 1937, dragging people and carrying goods around?

Should I talk about it or not, let's go to the future, that is a serious tractorized unit!

"Although we have ended the history that China cannot produce engines, from a practical point of view, due to the lack of a complete mechanical manufacturing system, we cannot mass-produce this diesel engine on a large scale. We can only use machine tools to process parts, and the production efficiency is very low. If there is no accident, the maximum monthly output of this diesel engine can only be maintained at about 200 units for a long period of time." Not long after the applause ended, Zhuang Qianding came to the workbench, gently stroking the historical commemorative single with his right hand Cylinder diesel prototype, the words contain comfort but reveal a trace of helplessness.

Being able to produce engines, in any case, is a good thing compared to the entire Military Industry Bureau, or China.

However, the monthly output of 200 units is too small.

The world record set by Ford Motor Company is one car every 24 seconds!
The gap between the two sides is like clouds and mud.

"At least we did it, professor. The next thing we have to do is step by step. One day, I believe that China will become the most powerful industrial country in the world, with the most complete industrial system and the most comprehensive products. "Yu Hua nodded, looking at the prototype, speaking solemnly and solemnly, revealing a sense of confidence: "Industry rejuvenates the country."

"Then let's keep working hard."

The voice caught his ears, and Zhuang Qianding smiled. The smile contained expectations and yearning for the future, and his eyes became firmer.

Will the day come for the most powerful industrial country, the most complete industrial system, and the most comprehensive products?
Zhuang Qianding didn't know.

But he will move forward for this goal, giving what he has learned all his life, giving his life, giving... everything.

Give up and move on?
no way!

Rejuvenating the country through industry was Zhuang Qianding's goal when he was young.

"Professor, you can start the engine test..." Yu Hua continued with a smile.

At this moment, a correspondent suddenly ran in, stood in front of the two of them, straightened his back, raised his hands in salute, and reported loudly: "Report to the two chiefs, the chief asks you to return to the headquarters for a meeting immediately."

Hearing these words, Zhuang Qianding and Yu Hua looked at each other.

"Did Director Chen explain anything else?" Zhuang Qianding asked.

"No." The correspondent shook his head.

Zhuang Qianding nodded: "Okay, I see, we'll go right away."

The correspondent finished the notification, saluted the two again, and quickly turned to leave.

"Not surprisingly, it should be about the Yulin Iron and Steel Plant and you. It's time to reward the meritorious deeds." Zhuang Qianding waited for the correspondent to leave, looked at Yu Hua, and said with a smile.

The oxygen top-blown converter project is of great significance. The successful development of the entire technical project is tantamount to winning a battle in a war.

It is imperative to reward meritorious deeds.

Yu Hua shook his head with a smile, didn't care, pondered for a while, and said: "Professor, now that the oxygen-blown furnace project is successful, and the problem of high-strength gun steel materials has been solved, I think it's time to start the heavy weapons project, and the production resources can be started." Inclining to military production, it is necessary to increase the output of various types of weapons and ammunition, but also to achieve the goal of independent production of heavy weapons, what do you think?"

Heavy Weapons Project!
The content of the entire heavy weapon project plan is very simple, to achieve independent production of four heavy weapons, 105mm towed heavy howitzer, 120mm heavy mortar, 40mm anti-aircraft gun, 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun, and build a heavy weapon military system.

The plan does not have any hard requirements for the output of heavy weapons, and the main goal is to realize the independent manufacture of the above four heavy weapons.

To sum it up in one sentence, don't ask for more, just ask for creativity.

The output of 105mm howitzers can be as low as one per month, one per two months, or even one per half a year, three 120mm heavy-force guns per month, two 40mm anti-aircraft guns per month, and ten 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns per month. Quite wait.

The output is allowed to be low, but in any case, independent manufacturing production must be achieved.

This is the core requirement.

In the entire heavy weapon program, the 105mm towed howitzer is a core weapon node. From the perspective of technical requirements, if the basic manufacturing technology of the 105mm howitzer can be met, then the manufacturing technology of the 120mm heavy-force and 40mm anti-aircraft gun can be satisfied. .

Nowadays, with the successful development of oxygen top-blown converter technology, the most basic and important problem of high-strength gun steel materials has been solved. From a technical point of view, the time to launch a heavy weapon system is ripe.

Of course, in order to develop a 105mm howitzer, there is still a key front-end technology that has not yet been lit, and that is the electroslag remelting furnace.

Fortunately, Yu Hua stands on the shoulders of giants. For him, the electroslag remelting metallurgy technology is actually simpler than the oxygen blowing furnace technology.

This giant is called the Soviet Union.

"Starting the heavy weapons project..." Zhuang Qianding frowned slightly, lost in thought: "This matter has a great impact, and we will discuss it at the meeting."

"Okay." Yu Hua nodded, not surprised.

The launch of the heavy weapons project not only requires the highest technology team to solve the core technical problems, but also consider organizational matters, which cannot be solved in a few words.

The autumn rain was pattering, and the first autumn rain fell for several hours in early August.
