The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 141 One Person Takes All the Responsibilities (asking for monthly tickets)
Liu Tao introduced his plans for the proposed tank manufacturing plant based on the drawings.

He thought the design team's initial plan was not feasible just by looking at the drawings.

For such a tank manufacturing plant, it is not a problem to produce Type 59 tanks and Type 69 tanks, and it can also produce some special vehicles.

But there is no doubt that the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun and Type 80 main battle tank cannot be produced.

Once it is built, it will be difficult to change it.

Even if a lot of effort is put in the end, it is estimated that the production capacity of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and tanks will not be satisfactory.

In this case, it is natural to combine it with his ideas.

After all, this is a tank manufacturing plant that requires an investment of 1 billion yuan to build, and the money doesn't come from the wind. Liu Tao would feel bad if he spent the money indiscriminately.

In the next few days, Liu Tao stayed with the design team to communicate about the design plan and express his opinions.

After three full days of discussion and only after confirming that the design team had grasped his ideas, Liu Tao temporarily put the matter aside.

It will take the design team at least two months to complete the design drawings.

Naturally, it was impossible for Liu Tao to keep an eye on this matter all the time.

Because the first phase of the construction of the other three factories has been completed, the equipment needs to be installed and some workers will be transferred to the two factories. These two factories are military factories that specialize in the production of weapons.

The first phase of the project has been completed, and the second and third phases are being constructed soon. Once completed, the scale of these three factories will not be smaller than the current Panshan Machinery Factory.

The two factories, like Panshan Machinery Factory, produce firearms and ammunition.

He has to be busy coordinating and arranging this matter!
Furthermore, the Panshan militia camp had to be disbanded, the militiamen returned, and the Panshan Machinery Factory had to form a guard battalion, one guard battalion for each factory, with a total size of a regiment.

Although the military representative was responsible for contacting the military, Liu Tao also had to step forward.

Besides, he has to be busy with CNC machine tools.

He didn't have much time left, but he still had to produce the Type 80 main battle tank and the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.

Liu Tao wished he could split himself in half or even ten halves to use.

This is because he provided design information and commissioned other factories to produce various types of artillery shells, otherwise he would be even busier.

Even though we now have complete design drawings, the quality of many parts for tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns produced by other factories is not good enough. Liu Tao has to produce them himself and then optimize and improve them through the system.

As for the production of tanks, even if the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building mobilized a group of engineers to come to the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, the output of tanks would still be very slow.

The engine, main gun, turret, tracks, armor, fire control system, etc., there is nothing that Liu Tao doesn't have to worry about.

That's it, one self-propelled anti-aircraft gun and one tank a month had already exhausted him.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Tao increasingly feels the importance of a country's industrial level.

Thirty years from now, there will be no need for such trouble. Many parts can be processed in outside factories. They only need to process the core parts and carry out the final assembly.

But it’s not possible now, I have to rely on myself.

Liu Tao knew that the aviation and aerospace systems could complete a lot of parts processing, but the problem was that these were in different systems and isolated from each other. The Fifth Ministry of Machine Building would not care about their face. Even if he wanted to order a batch of parts and contacted them in the name of Panshan Machinery Factory, they would not care at all.

Firstly, they are not from the same system. Secondly, Panshan Machinery Factory is only a deputy-department-level unit, while those state-owned aviation and aerospace factories that are capable of processing are at least full-department-level units, or even deputy-ministerial units.

To the extent that Liu Tao had to go through the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building to contact the Third and Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

Even so, things still didn't go smoothly. In the busyness, time passed by little by little, and before I knew it, it was already September.

With the start of the new university semester, Shichahai has regained its bustle.

Zhu Lin, who was already six months pregnant, had a growing belly.

Liu Tao and Zhu Lin were walking slowly.

Every month when Liu Tao returns to Beijing for vacation, it is the time when he relaxes the most and takes a good rest to adjust his state.

Otherwise, he felt that he would be crushed by the overwhelming pressure of working so intensively for so long a period of time.

Every time he returned to Beijing for vacation, when he saw his beautiful wife, all his tiredness would disappear at once. His greatest pleasure was to be with his beautiful wife. Every night he would put his ear to her belly and try to listen to the fetal movement.

Every time he placed his hand on his belly, he seemed to be able to feel that the baby inside had a special connection with him.

"What do you think this special economic zone does?" Zhu Lin took Liu Tao's hand and talked about recent major events in the country.

Just a few days ago, the 15th meeting of the National Senior Officials' Council decided to set up special economic zones in Pengcheng, Zhushi, Xiaocheng in Guangdong Province and Ludao in Fujian Province.

This matter has spread all over the country with reports in major newspapers and radio.

Special economic zones, this is a new thing.

Everyone talks about reform and opening up, but what is it? In fact, most people don’t know, and they look confused when they mention it.

As for special economic zones, they are unheard of and never seen before.

There are different opinions on the establishment of special economic zones.

No one would have thought that the establishment of a special economic zone would actually give birth to a first-tier city! Of the four first special economic zones, except for Qicheng, which was burned down by a fire, the worst ones have all become new first-tier cities.

"Special economic zones are exploring economic development and using market economy to supplement the development of the national economy." Liu Tao smiled and said simply.

"The spring breeze of reform and opening up has blown across China. The days ahead will surely get better and better, and everyone's life will become better." Liu Tao said with a smile, "Let's find time next year to go out for a trip."

"You're so busy with work now, how do you have time to travel?" Zhu Lin rolled his eyes at Liu Tao.

Liu Tao said: "No matter how busy I am, I have to take a break. My body is not made of iron."

"Look at me. Don't I take my usual vacation and go back to Beijing every month?" Liu Tao said, "Next year, I shouldn't be as busy as I am now."

There was a hint of anticipation in Liu Tao's eyes.

In the past few months, he has been so busy that he has no time to rest and only sleeps four hours a day.

He continuously developed more and more CNC machine tools.

CNC lathes, CNC drilling machines, CNC milling machines, CNC grinders, CNC boring machines and machining centers.

There are also CNC machine tools for metal forming, CNC bending machines, CNC combination punching machines, CNC pipe bending machines, CNC rotary head presses, CNC cutting machine tools, CNC EDM machine tools, CNC flame cutting machines, CNC laser cutting machines, special combination machine tools, etc.

There are even three-axis CNC machine tools among them!
At the current rate, he will be able to develop a five-axis CNC machine tool in about a month.

He believed that by solving the problems of CNC machine tools and five-axis machining centers, he could be freed from a lot of tedious tasks.
