The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 122 Future Direction (Subscription Request)
"Put aside the dispute and discuss the problem later!"

Wang Baoguo stepped forward in time and put the dispute aside.

Otherwise, if I get stuck here, I might not need to do anything else today.

Subsequently, other experts continued to learn more about the Type 80 automatic anti-aircraft gun.

Every expert has his or her own area of ​​expertise. For example, an artillery expert only knows about 35mm anti-aircraft guns, while a computer expert only knows about the computer field.

Different experts only know aspects of their own fields.

In order to truly understand the Type 80 automatic anti-aircraft gun, Wang Baoguo personally coordinated the military to send fighter jets and helicopters for cooperation.

Sure enough, when fighter jets and helicopters reached a range of 20 kilometers, they were detected by the radar, and when they entered the air defense range, they could be clearly seen even through a periscope optical sight.

Of course, under the current conditions, it is impossible to really fire artillery shells. You have to know that they are fighter jets and helicopters. If they are really shot down, the losses will be huge.

But even just through these simple tests, one can clearly feel the power of the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.

After a whole week, a series of tasks were finally completed.

That evening, Liu Tao and Wang Baoguo were taking a walk.

"I handed over the Panshan Machinery Factory to you, and now it has been proven that this decision was right." Wang Baoguo said with emotion: "In just over a year, the Panshan Machinery Factory can be said to be a super-large military factory."

When Wang Baoguo was about to be transferred to the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, it was he who recommended Wang Tiezhu to take over the position of director of the Yunnan Provincial National Defense Management Office, while Liu Tao served as the director of the Panshan Machinery Factory.

At that time, Panshan Machinery Factory was just a small and medium-sized military factory. Although Liu Tao's age was quite controversial, Liu Tao had already developed several types of firearms and was one of the few college students. In addition, with Wang Baoguo's strong support, Liu Tao was appointed as the director of Panshan Machinery Factory.

To be honest, this decision involves a lot of risk.

Because Liu Tao is too young, only 24 years old!
As the saying goes, a young man with a beard cannot do things well. It is easy for him to mess up when he is so young as a factory manager.

But it turned out that this decision was very correct.

Liu Tao has been the factory director for more than a year, and Panshan Machinery Factory has developed rapidly. Whether in terms of factory scale, number of employees, or production capacity, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a super-large military factory.

There are now military factories that can produce Type 78 pistols and Type 78 automatic rifles, but the production qualification rate is still far behind that of Panshan Machinery Factory.

More importantly, Panshan Machinery Factory can be said to be a modern factory.

The division of different functional areas is clear, the entire Panshan Machinery Factory is clean, and the whole system runs very smoothly.

This is even more meaningful for reference!
As a reform pilot factory, Panshan Machinery Factory is responsible for the reform of military factories.

The experience of Panshan Machinery Factory is now very worthy of reference.

"It is thanks to your strong support that Panshan Machinery Factory is what it is today!" Liu Tao said modestly: "To be honest, I am good at doing research, but it is difficult for me to manage such a large factory!"

"Isn't the Panshan Machinery Factory still running well?" Wang Baoguo said noncommittally, "After returning to Beijing, we will hold a meeting and the 256th Factory will be allocated to your Panshan Machinery Factory. However, the domestic and export versions of the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun cannot be the same."

Liu Tao showed a happy expression, "Of course, please rest assured, leader!"

Liu Tao has a clear idea about the version for self-use and the version for export.

The Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, if truly mass-produced, naturally does not need such a large power, only 900 horsepower is enough, and the size does not need to be that large either. In addition to the two-door 35mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, there will be two-door 70mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and four 4mm anti-aircraft guns in the future.

For the export version, the engine power will be reduced to 750~800 horsepower, the armor performance will be slightly reduced, the radar search performance will also be reduced, and the computer performance will be slightly reduced.

The main reason why the prototype was so advanced was that it was aimed at the third-generation main battle tank. "I'm glad you understand!" Wang Baoguo nodded, "Someone will come to get the information of the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun when the time comes. You can just keep a backup copy in your factory!"

"I understand!" Liu Tao was not surprised.

All eggs cannot be put in one basket, otherwise by the time the war breaks out and the Panshan Machinery Factory is bombed and destroyed, China will not be able to produce self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.

Similarly, the design data of the firearms previously developed by Liu Tao were also taken away from above, and other factories were arranged to try to produce them.

There are no patents in this era.

It doesn't mean that just because a certain weapon is developed by this factory, other factories cannot produce it.

The whole country is like one chessboard!

"As for the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, you need to hurry up and produce a few more prototypes. As for the third-generation main battle tanks, you also need to hurry up and produce them." Wang Baoguo said, "After returning to Beijing this time, I will coordinate a group of technicians for you."

"After reporting to the leader, I will personally celebrate for you!" said Wang Baoguo.

The significance of the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun far exceeds the firearms previously developed by Liu Tao.

Because this is a heavy weapon, a powerful killer!
The birth of the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun can be said to have opened a new chapter in China's medium and low altitude defense, greatly improving China's medium and low altitude defense capabilities.

This kind of scientific research results are enough to be raised to the national level, and the scientific research results are enough to win numerous awards.

If Liu Tao wasn't too young, if another sixty-year-old person had developed the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, he would have won the Lifetime Achievement Award!
Even if I can't get the Lifetime Achievement Award now, various other awards are definitely indispensable.

Even during various conferences, he would be received by leaders.

It is no exaggeration to say that Liu Tao is now a national hero!

Even Liu Tao's original guards were no longer qualified to serve as his guards.

Only Liu Tao does not have any complicated activities and his exposure is not high now, otherwise he would have to be on guard against assassination.

Once Liu Tao successfully develops the third-generation tank, his status and influence will be elevated to another level.

He can definitely reach the level of a technical leader in the two bombs and one satellite.

When Wang Baoguo saw the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun in person this time, he realized that the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun was much more important than he had previously imagined.

It was through the technical evaluations by Zhu Lao and others that Wang Baoguo deeply realized how earth-shattering the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun was, and that it had more than a thousand important technological breakthroughs.

It is no exaggeration to say that just this Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun has saved the country at least tens of billions of scientific research funds.

Many technologies can be applied to military and civilian fields.

The wealth that these technologies can create is simply difficult to estimate.

Therefore, the Security Department of Panshan Machinery Factory will transfer new personnel from the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building to ensure the strictest confidentiality.

After all, the current security department of Panshan Machinery Factory comes from the original basis, so it is inevitable that there are some shortcomings in confidentiality work.
