The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 24 Metaphysics?

Wang Baoguo randomly selected 120 bullets.

He called his guard and asked him to take 120 rounds of ammunition to the shooting range for testing.

As a guard, he is a veteran and a real person who would never cheat.

Wang Baoguo was waiting in the production workshop, watching the bullet production line produce bullets.

Wang Baoguo was always uneasy about the bullet production speed.

In about ten minutes, boxes of bullets were sealed after Liu Tao checked and signed for them.

"Comrade Liu Tao, how can you be sure that this bullet is qualified?" Wang Baoguo couldn't help but ask.

Liu Tao smiled and said, "Director Wang, I have a natural keen sense of weight and size. I can feel even the slightest difference. I can tell if a bullet is up to standard just by looking at it and touching it."

Liu Tao could only say this, he couldn't say that he had a golden finger.

He built this bullet production line himself, and he knows exactly whether the bullets produced are qualified or not.

The failed bullets appeared red and very clearly in his eyes.

Wang Baoguo touched the sparse hair on his head. Is it so metaphysical?
Wang Tiezhu smiled and said, "Comrade Baoguo, we all admire Comrade Liu Tao's ability. The production quality system currently implemented by our Panshan Machinery Factory was established by Comrade Liu Tao. Since Comrade Liu Tao has been in charge of this work, all weapons and ammunition shipped out of the factory will only be shipped after he has finally accepted and signed. So far, no unqualified products have appeared."

"Oh? You have established a production quality system?" Wang Baoguo was surprised. "Is it because of this production quality system that your Panshan Machinery Factory has won praise from the troops?"

In the past two months, apart from the surprise brought to him by Panshan Machinery Factory, Wang Baoguo can be said to be exhausted.

The quality of military factories across the province was uneven, and many of the weapons and ammunition they produced were substandard. Even the army returned the guns and ammunition, but he was still being scolded.

The destructiveness of those ten years was so great!
The more courageous a person is, the more productive he will be. But when we went to the arsenal, we found that most of the arsenal, which should have been full, was empty. Even among the remaining arsenal, many were substandard.

During this period, the troops conducted live-fire training, and some soldiers were even injured or killed due to barrel explosions.

"Well, let's have dinner later and I'll take you around the factory." Wang Tiezhu seemed very proud.

Since the continuous implementation of the new system, the entire Panshan Machinery Factory has been completely renewed, and the production quality and qualification rates have soared.

For the production of weapons and ammunition, the relevant production personnel and persons in charge can be found directly and held accountable directly.

Wang Baoguo became even more curious.

Not long after, Wang Baoguo's guards came back.

"Director, there is no problem with the bullets." The guard saluted Wang Baoguo.

Wang Baoguo nodded: "It seems that you have launched another big satellite this time."

As he spoke, Wang Baoguo took out two certificates from his briefcase: "Old Wang, Comrade Liu Tao, this is a commendation for Comrade Liu Tao."

Liu Tao took it and looked at it, and was immediately surprised.

"Advanced Cadre Learning from Lei Feng" is a provincial honor. Only about 30 to 40 people in the province receive this honor each year. It can be said to be a very valuable honor.

Learning from Lei Feng is not a derogatory or sarcastic term in the future, but a term with great positive energy in this era.

As for the 'Model of Advanced Scientific and Technological Workers of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense', it is national and commends the advanced scientific and technological workers in the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense system.

He didn't expect that he would be able to receive these two honors.

Wang Tiezhu smiled brilliantly. Liu Tao had these two honors, so no one would say anything even if he promoted Liu Tao again.

In the afternoon, Liu Tao accompanied Wang Baoguo to visit Panshan Machinery Factory.

Wang Baoguo looked at the production workshop and saw workers working in an assembly line. The workbenches were not as messy as he had seen in the past, but clean and tidy. Each worker had his own position, work number and his own production process.

Under the assembly line operation, one 'Type 78' automatic rifle after another was produced.

This efficiency was much faster than the production of Type 56 semi-automatic rifles he had seen in other military factories.

Most importantly, there are quality engineers who conduct random inspections!

Even if it’s a fully assembled rifle, the quality engineer will pick it up and give it a try!
A rifle will be randomly selected for target practice!
strict!

rigorous!

This is the production workshop, which left the biggest impression on Wang Baoguo.

"It's amazing how different we are after three days!" Wang Baoguo couldn't help but sigh, "I now finally understand how your Panshan Machinery Factory managed to make the troops trust the guns and ammunition you produced."

"Comrade Baoguo, this is all thanks to Comrade Liu Tao. We are all old, and the future belongs to the young." Wang Tiezhu smiled and said, "Young people are more knowledgeable, have flexible minds, and have more ideas."

Wang Baoguo nodded: "Comrade Liu Tao, can this production quality system be used in other factories?!"

What Wang Baoguo is concerned about is not a certain military factory, but the entire province's national defense science and technology system.

If this system can be used in other military factories, it will greatly improve the production of military factories.

"Of course!" Liu Tao nodded.

However, Liu Tao knew that it was not easy for other factories to learn from Panshan Machinery Factory.

Other factories have not yet formed a unified understanding of just such a simple statement as "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth".

Moreover, it is hard to say whether the leaders of those factories have the courage of Wang Tiezhu.

"That's good." Wang Baoguo said, "I heard from Lao Wang that you were the one who built this bullet production line. Can you build a few more?"

"That's not a problem, but this bullet production line needs professional technicians to watch over it, and it's easy to malfunction." Liu Tao frowned slightly: "If we want to build another production line, it's better to put it in the Panshan Machinery Factory. Otherwise, if there is a malfunction and I have to run, I will be exhausted to death."

"Is it easy to malfunction?" Wang Baoguo was a little confused.

"Yes, the more automatic and sophisticated the machine is, the more likely it is to have problems. I have to check the bullet production line once every one or two days to make sure there are no problems with the production line," said Liu Tao.

"Okay, then I'll put them in your Panshan Machinery Factory. You can make two more at Panshan Machinery Factory." Wang Baoguo said, "Write a report on how much money you need."

When Wang Tiezhu heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

It's just the right time to submit a report including this production line.

After all, Panshan Machinery Factory is too poor.

He also wanted to get the money to build houses for the workers and improve their living environment, but before that, he had no money at all.

Now it’s different, we can start preparing for the new house in the dormitory area.

Liu Tao was also very happy. The bullet production line was settled in Panshan Machinery Factory, which represented the development and growth of Panshan Machinery Factory and would be more important in the eyes of superiors.
