Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 750, restructuring

How to sell the tank is not something Jiang Yan considers. Anyway, the road has been pointed out to them, so Jiang Yan no longer cares about this matter. The only thing he is thinking about now is how to produce and improve it.

The Type 59 tank is a medium tank that our country imitated and equipped in large quantities with reference to the Mao Xiong T-54A medium tank.

This type of tank has a total combat weight of 36 tons, a crew of 4, a maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour, and a maximum range of 560 kilometers. The main weapons include a 1mm rifled gun with a combat rate of fire of 100 rounds/minute, a 7mm anti-aircraft machine gun and two 1mm machine guns. It is equipped with an infrared night vision device for night driving. The armor on the front and sides of the car body is thicker, and the turret is streamlined and has good bullet resistance. Tanks have strong firepower, good armor protection and maneuverability, light weight, simple structure, reliable operation, and easy use and maintenance.

The Type 59 tank is a new type of tank that was successfully developed by flower growers two years ago. At the time, the performance of this tank could be said to be advanced. It was considered a mainstream tank at the time.

In order to better sell this tank, Jiang Yan made some improvements to the Type 59.

These Type 59s have been modified by Jiang Yan and are much better than the prototypes in terms of armor and power. After adding new armor-piercing projectiles to the firepower, this has also been greatly improved.
He optimized the original engine on the Type 59, increasing the maximum power of the Type 59 from the original 500 horsepower to 600 horsepower, and the torque was also greatly increased. In this way, the Type 59's mobility and acceleration capabilities are greatly enhanced.

The suspension system has also been redesigned. By adjusting the spring stiffness parameters, increasing the movable arm length of the shock absorber, and increasing the size of the road wheels, the load-bearing capacity has been increased by 20% compared to the prototype.

In terms of firepower, Jiang Yan basically did not change the original 100mm tank gun, except to increase the stability of the gun. However, he replaced the old armor-piercing bullets and used new armor-piercing bullets. Although the foreign trade version of the armor-piercing bullets is only powerful for us to use. 60%, but even so, the penetration capability of this artillery is nearly doubled compared to the original 100 mm gun.

Overall, although there are many improvements to each vehicle, the cost is not too high. Anyway, this export is mainly to finance the 59 modified tanks and self-propelled artillery. Then the price will be increased a little.

He also improved the turret's automatic loading mechanism and increased the number of ready rounds, allowing the actual rate of fire to reach 4 rounds per minute.

In addition, more importantly, Jiang Yan also added a weakened version of our fire control system to this tank. This thing can be regarded as a power multiplier for this tank.
What's even more powerful is that he also got a small mechanical computer with simple calculation functions. Although it has a simple structure, it can calculate the advance amount in real time based on the target's motion parameters, which greatly improves the probability of the first shot hitting.

It can be said that the 59 tank exported this time has improved its armor protection a lot, but its firepower, maneuverability, and fire control all surpass the prototype.

At Jiang Yan's request, a tank was quickly transferred from above for Jiang Yan to use for hand training. After Jiang Yan's improvements, the tank was quickly transferred to Jiang Yan.

The tank was quickly pulled to the testing ground for testing. After testing, the performance of the Type 59 tank, which was improved by Jiang Yan for foreign trade, was almost the same as the original version, and even some of the performance was slightly better.

Especially after the leaders saw it, they were naturally quite satisfied and became more confident in selling.

There is a saying that if there is no comparison, there will be no harm. With the comparison, Type 59 quickly opened up the market. However, all of these things have nothing to do with Jiang Yan. His main goal now is to reorganize all the departments in his research institute.

With the development of the past two years, almost all the assets of Jiang Yan and his research institute have more than doubled. Among the most profitable companies in the entire Forty-Nine Cities, Jiang Yan and his research institute can definitely be regarded as one .

The production workshops in the institute have expanded from the original ten workshops to fifteen workshops. Now the number of employees in the entire institute has exceeded 20,000. It can be said that the entire institute is now strong.

"Xiao Jiang, there won't be any problem with this division, right? This will cut off almost half of the most profitable output value." Wang Honghai asked Jiang Yan, holding the optimization plan written by Jiang Yan.

"That's Mr. Jiang. Look, the electric fan business and the small home appliance accessories business now account for almost 40% of the output value of our research institute."

Jiang Yan now understands the psychology of Wang Honghai and Zhao Zhanqiang. Once most domestic manufacturers become strong, they will develop in an all-round way and want to get involved in everything. However, Jiang Yan feels that this will consume most of his energy and still It is better to refine one subject.

"This is what I think. After all, there are only a limited number of researchers in our research institute, and it is difficult to put too much energy into some things. I feel that we should focus on a few related industries to make it bigger and stronger."

"You see, we are currently cooperating with motorcycle factories, "Yanjing" automobile factories, agricultural tractor factories and agricultural tricycle factories. Not to mention others, just the industry of walking tractors has now experienced explosive growth. , the supply of walking tractors in tractor factories is almost in short supply. Of course, the requirements for engines are also gradually increasing. What I mean is that several workshops are set aside to produce different types of engines to meet the needs of these factories. In addition, after all, we cannot just rely on You can live with a few engines for a lifetime, so my opinion is to set up a special engine research and development department in the research institute.”

"In addition, lathe production can be said to be the main business of our research institute, so this area still needs to be appropriately strengthened. Therefore, we have divided it into several workshops."

"We also need to invest a lot of energy in alloy production and precision machining."

"So my opinion is that our research and production should focus on the research and production of machine tools and engines. In addition, we should pay attention to alloy research and development and precision machining. These four will be the key projects of our research institute in the future."

After hearing Jiang Yan's explanation, the two leaders quite agreed with Jiang Yan's reform plan, and then convened a meeting of all the leadership of the institute to study it. After Jiang Yan's explanation, the optimization plan was quickly passed within the institute, and then formed The document was notified to the relevant leaders of the First Machinery Department. After receiving the approval of the superior leaders, the vigorous transformation of the institute began to proceed in an orderly manner under the leadership of Jiang Yan.

After re-optimizing production and running in for a period of time, the entire institute exuded amazing vitality, and the overall output value was much higher than before the transformation.
