The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 259 I am willing to crawl on the ground and support the glory of the motherland

Hide your identity and forge swords for the country!
Be low-key and pragmatic, and make great achievements through accumulation!
This is what Liu Tao often warns himself and demands of himself, and it is also what he uses to warn and demand of everyone!

Those who have access to core secrets have all undergone strict confidentiality training, are required to hide their identities, and are not even allowed to return home once a year.

The only thing Liu Tao could do for them was to bring their parents and wives to live with them.

Even ordinary employees receive confidentiality training at least once a month to remind them not to disclose their work to outsiders.

"Leader, what we do is to forge swords for the country, strengthen our military industry, build our national defense, so that soldiers can use advanced weapons and equipment to defend our country, protect our motherland, and defeat any enemy." Liu Tao said in a deep voice: "If possible, I would like to crawl on the ground and support the glory of the motherland!"

After the founding of the Republic, how many scientists worked anonymously to forge swords for the country, and how many scientists struggled for the prosperity and strength of China.

They are all elites and can enjoy a good life in Europe and the United States.

Like Mr. Qian Xuesen, he became a world-renowned aerodynamicist at the age of 1947. In , when he was years old, he relied on his strong strength to defeat all kinds of discrimination, arrogance and prejudice and became a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

In 1949, Qian Xuesen, who was only 1953 years old, was already the director and professor of the Jet Propulsion Center of California Institute of Technology. In 42, when he was just years old, Qian Xuesen formally proposed the concept of physical mechanics, advocating that the macroscopic mechanical properties of matter should be determined from its microscopic laws, thus opening up a new field of high temperature and high pressure.

However, after the news of the birth of the Republic reached the United States, Qian Xuesen still chose to return home to serve his country.

At that time, even Qian Xuesen's teacher said that Qian Xuesen had surpassed him.

The U.S. Undersecretary of the Navy Danny Kimble even claimed that wherever Qian Xuesen went, he was worth the strength of five divisions.

After experiencing numerous difficulties and overcoming numerous obstacles, Qian Xuesen finally returned to China with great difficulty.

There are many people like Qian Xuesen, but he is the one that everyone is most familiar with!

"Good! Good! Good!" The old man was deeply moved. "If everyone can be like you, Comrade Liu Tao, I believe that the prosperity of China is not just a dream, but can definitely be achieved!"

Afterwards, technical workers began to go to the production workshop.

Liu Tao accompanied several leaders to visit the production workshop.

"Leader, please don't underestimate this small part. It is a traditional gear of the traditional system of the tank. It plays a vital role in the tank. Through it, the power of the engine can be transmitted to various systems of the tank." Liu Tao picked up a gear and introduced it. "Our requirement for it is that its processing accuracy reaches the micron level, which means that its error is smaller than a strand of our hair."

"If a small gear like this makes a mistake, it can cause the entire tank to malfunction or even break down." Liu Tao handed the small gear to his leader.

"I heard people report before that your Panshan Machinery Factory has a large number of high-precision machine tools. Now it seems to be true. Even the processing accuracy of a gear is so high." The leader looked at the gear and said with praise.

"Although tanks may look rough, they are actually very precise and delicate inside. The more advanced the tank, the higher the processing requirements." Liu Tao said, "Even many parts have to be processed by a five-axis machining center to meet the requirements."

The leader nodded. He knew that Panshan Machinery Factory had a five-axis machining center.

It is also the only one in the country that has a five-axis machining center.

Some important parts are processed by five-axis machining centers.

"This assembly plant has very complete equipment. The main gun of the tank can be easily installed through the lifting equipment. The turret can be easily lifted and installed on the tank body. Even a whole Type 80 main battle tank can be lifted and then lifted to the front so that the driver can drive the tank out." Liu Tao pointed to the lifting equipment. It is no exaggeration to say that the equipment of this assembly plant far exceeds that of the First Machine Factory.

In the past, when it came to tank production, to put it bluntly, as long as you could produce tractors, you could also produce tanks.

But not now!

In an assembly plant like this one, the maximum requirement for the lifting equipment is that it can lift 70 tons!
"The performance of this main gun has reached the world's leading level, is it because rare earths have been added to the material?" The leader asked when he saw the workers installing the tank gun.

Leaders know something about rare earths.

I also know that the country's rare earth production will be monopolized by Panshan Machinery Factory in the next five years.

"Yes!" Liu Tao nodded, "Not only the main gun, but also the tank engine, computer, etc. contain rare earths. Although rare earths account for a small proportion of the formula, they are indispensable!"

"Rare earths are really good stuff. It seems that our comrades in the past did not know the value of rare earths and sold them at a very low price." The leader could not help but sigh, "This is a strategic material, very precious, and cannot be easily exported."

Liu Tao smiled and said, "We should strengthen mining management and not exploit indiscriminately, as that would cause serious environmental damage. As for exports, we certainly can't treat them as cheap. The Middle East has oil, but China has rare earths."

"The Middle East has oil, and we in China have rare earths! If this is true, the relevant departments should make good plans, prohibit random mining of rare earths, and develop rare earth resources scientifically." The leader couldn't help but say, "Good things should be sold at a good price."

In the afternoon, the first Type 80 main battle tank was produced. This was a self-use version of the Type 80 main battle tank.

Liu Tao fixed some problems on the spot.

"A powerful weapon of a great power! A powerful weapon of a great power!" The old man exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the mighty and majestic Type 80 main battle tank.

In less than a day, a Type 80 main battle tank was produced. The old man couldn't help but do the math. Doesn't this mean that the monthly production capacity can reach 30 vehicles, and 360 Type 80 main battle tanks can be produced in a year!

This output is already extremely impressive.

The old man even became interested and wanted to experience the feeling of driving a tank, despite his secretary's dissuasion.

Finally, the old man entered the cockpit and, under the guidance of Liu Tao, slowly drove the Type 80 tank.

Half an hour later, the old man finally got out of the Type 80 tank. He said excitedly: "This Type 80 tank is very easy to drive, even easier than driving a car."

In fact, the most difficult part of a Type 80 main battle tank is not the driver or the gunner, but the commander.

The tank commander is the soul of a Type 80 main battle tank and has the most knowledge to learn.

A normal person can drive a Type 80 main battle tank on the road at a speed of 40 to 50 kilometers per hour.

Of course, this does not mean that one can become a driver all at once. On the contrary, to be a qualified driver of a Type 80 main battle tank, one needs to learn a lot. In fact, only by becoming an experienced driver can one use the Type 80 main battle tank with ease.
