Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

Everyone stayed where they were, even Elder Lin.

He thought Xu Huasheng would bring some surprises, but he never thought Xu Huasheng would bring such a big surprise.

Lin Zuotang knew best how precious the five-axis CNC machining center was, and it was a five-axis CNC machining center made by Huasheng Group itself.

Even the top-notch Ministry of Aerospace Industry did not have this thing. The most advanced machine tools in China at present are a few four-axis CNC machine tools obtained through special channels.

Although the five-axis is only one axis away from the four-axis on the surface, this so-called one-axis difference is a huge difference in technology.

Just think about how the powerful Soviet Union could not produce a CNC five-axis, and you will know how difficult it is to make this thing.

At present, there are only a few countries and companies in the world that can produce CNC five-axis, and those countries and companies have imposed the strictest embargo on China.

Especially after the Toshiba incident, these companies are strictly regulated by the United States. Every device is under supervision. It is basically impossible to get it from China through special channels, let alone five-axis, even four-axis is not available now.

So although many domestic units are envious of five-axis, they also know the current situation of the country and this thing is only something they can think about.

But now, a huge surprise has come directly.

CNC five-axis, China has it. Not only that, it is also domestically produced.

"Xiao Xu, are you kidding? Is this really a CNC five-axis?"

Mr. Lin asked quickly, and the others also looked at Xu Huasheng with expectation in their eyes. CNC five-axis, they really haven't seen it, they just heard about it.

"Mr. Lin, is this a joke? How about this, let's try to process a component on the spot..."

Xu Huasheng's suggestion immediately made everyone nod.

Whether it is true or not, you will know after trying it.

Hearing is false, seeing is true. Soon the equipment was started, a metal ingot was fixed on the fixed table, and the machine was officially started.

The entire machining center began to get busy, and everyone stared at the machining center with expectation in their eyes.

As the machining center was busy, the metal ingot began to slowly change shape. The square metal ingot was processed and slowly took shape.

I don’t know how long it took, when the last action of the machine tool was completed, a product appeared in front of everyone. When they saw this product, everyone swallowed their saliva.

This is a graceful peony, but this peony is a metal peony. The petals of the peony are lifelike, each one is different, and the thickness of each petal is also different. The thinnest part is even as thin as a cicada's wing.

Beautiful, this metal peony gives people a feeling of beauty.

But the focus of everyone on the scene is not on this. They are all knowledgeable people. They know very well how difficult it is to process this metal peony.

If there is no CNC five-axis, it is difficult to process such a thing. The CNC machine tools that China has now cannot complete it at all.

With manual machine tools, unless those national treasure-level figures take action, it is possible to process this thing, but even if they can process it, the processing efficiency is very, very low. Don’t think that the CNC five-axis can quickly produce a peony. If it is replaced by manual labor, it may take many days to produce this peony, and there will be a lot of losses in the middle. It may not be successful to produce ten flowers.

CNC five-axis solves not only the problems of processing accuracy and processing difficulty, but also the problem of processing speed. Some things can indeed be made by hand, but in the industrial age, you can’t make everything by hand.

For example, you can make a high-precision aircraft engine by hand, but you can’t make all of them by hand. The amount required for a single piece of large-scale equipment is very large, and it is not realistic to make these products by hand.

Now, with this CNC five-axis, everything has become much simpler. Things that were almost impossible to make before, or things with extremely low production, can now be directly produced on a large scale.

"Mr. Xu, what is the highest processing accuracy of this equipment?"

"Mr. Xu, what is the production capacity of this equipment..."

"Mr. Xu, how much does this equipment sell for..."

The exhibition hall immediately became lively, and everyone gathered around and began to ask for various information. Everyone's eyes were full of excitement, and at this moment they couldn't wait to get this equipment to their own unit.

Lin Zuotang stroked this CNC five-axis machine, feeling the temperature of this equipment, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

As an aerospace person, Lin Zuotang knew what this machine tool in front of him represented. With such a machine tool, many Chinese technologies that were stuck in precision machining will be broken through.

At the same time,The output of products that need more precision processing will be greatly increased, such as the engines of advanced intercontinental missiles. If there are enough five-axis machining centers, the production capacity of these weapons will be greatly increased.

Missiles are weapons of mass destruction, but these weapons of mass destruction need to look at technology on the one hand, but in addition to technology, quantity is also very important.

Only with a sufficient number can we launch a more intensive attack on the enemy.

Saturation attack is the kingly way. If you can bomb for five days, don't bomb for three days. If you can solve the problem by bombing, don't solve it by people. This is the mode of war now.

China has always had a fear of insufficient firepower in recent years. Because of this fear, some weapons developed by China in recent years are characterized by firepower first.

Five axes, with five axes, not only can the output of many products be increased, but also the quality can be improved.

For example, the engine used by missiles, in the past, due to poor processing accuracy, the range of the missile may have become closer. Now with five axes, the processing accuracy of the missile engine is higher and the performance is better.

Thinking of this, Lin Zuotang couldn't help but think of the long-range fire they were developing.

With the five-axis, the manufacturing precision of the engine used for the long-range rocket will become higher, and the range will become longer. The most important thing is that the production capacity of the long-range rocket will also increase significantly. With the increase in production capacity, the cost will be greatly reduced.

At that time, it would not be too much to equip this thing to the battalion-level units. It would not be too much for a battalion to have four or five launch vehicles.

If hundreds or thousands of vehicles are placed on the southwest border, and a war really breaks out and they are fired directly, the spectacular scene will be absolutely beautiful.

From the border of China to the capital of India, the straight-line distance is only more than 300 kilometers. The design range of the long-range rocket is as high as 500 kilometers or even higher.

At that time, if there are really thousands of long-range rockets lined up on the border to have a beautiful fireworks show, then this fireworks will definitely be the most beautiful fireworks in the world.

As for the monkeys in the south, this kind of long-range rocket in China can cover most of the monkeys' borders. If the monkeys don't jump around again, China can let them see a more beautiful fireworks, which is definitely much more beautiful than 107.

As for the east, hey, the straight-line distance from Weihai to Seoul is only 400 kilometers.

Thinking of this, Lin Zuotang suddenly felt that the 500-kilometer range was not enough. Although it could reach Seoul, it could not reach Tokyo. Double the range would probably be about the same. No, 1,200 kilometers would be more appropriate.

What should be done to achieve a range of 1,200 kilometers? How much longer does the rocket need to be? How much thicker does the diameter of the rocket need to be?
