Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

The Soviet Union wanted to smuggle five-axis CNC machine tools to solve the problem of submarine propellers.

If the news is true, maybe there is a chance to get one or two sets of five-axis CNC machine tools.

Whether used in large civilian aircraft or military equipment, five-axis machine tools play a role that cannot be replaced by other machine tools.

"Wait a moment, don't leave for now."

After saying that, Vice Minister Zhao left the meeting room and returned to his office.

Pick up the phone on the desk and call the minister.

Not only Lin Kaifeng needs to keep an eye on this matter, but relevant departments also need to conduct investigations.

If the Soviet Union could obtain five-axis CNC machine tools to solve the problem of excessive noise from submarine propellers, it would not only pose a threat to the United States, but also to Longguo.

A few dozen minutes later, three men in military uniforms appeared in front of Lin Kaifeng.

The comrade from the confidentiality department asked Lin Kaifeng for details about the origins of the gossip.

Lin Kaifeng was also asked to sign a confidentiality document.

After completing all the procedures, Lin Kaifeng only had one thing left to do.

wait.

On the third day, Lin Kaifeng received a phone call and was called to the office of the Minister of the First Ministry of Machine Building.

Seeing Lin Kaifeng coming in, Wang Changsheng said unhappily: "When you do things, you always try to make a splash."

"You are very brave to say this in front of so many people without any confirmation."

"Just a few simple words almost caused a huge quarrel among our industrial departments."

Lin Kaifeng said, "Minister, I really didn't mean to make false statements. The atmosphere at the time was already like that. If I didn't say something else, I think the leaders of the Third Ministry of Machine Building would definitely continue to discuss it and find it difficult to make a decision."

Hearing this, Wang Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "I called you here this time not to criticize you. Regardless of whether the gossip is true or false, as you said, there must be a reason for every smoke without fire."

"Comrades from relevant departments are already investigating this matter. You, Northern Machinery Company, must also be prepared to cooperate. If we can really get a five-axis CNC machine tool, I dare not say more, but I will give you one set. I can still guarantee it."

Wang Changsheng patted Lin Kaifeng on the shoulder.

The reason why several industrial ministries were in such a turmoil was not because Lin Kaifeng's words were too exaggerated.

Quite the opposite.

Lin Kaifeng’s news is very likely to be true.

Through surveys of overseas comrades.

A series of strange things happened before the eyes of the intelligence department.

The head of the Machinery Technology Import and Export Group, the largest foreign trade enterprise in the Soviet Union, has visited the island country for business inspections many times.

Recently, Toshiba Group and a European company reached a machine tool supply agreement.

The machine tool supplied to the other party is none other than a five-axis CNC machine tool.

And many years ago.

Overseas staff of the intelligence department received first-hand information from secret channels.

Although this Western country is one of the member states of the military organization under the jurisdiction of the United States.

But secretly, it maintained close ties with the Soviet Union.

A set of artillery aiming computers was exported to the Soviet Union without the knowledge of the United States.

Artillery aiming equipment, like CNC machine tools and large forging presses, are controlled equipment on the Batumi list and are strictly prohibited from being sold to the Eastern Bloc.

Toshiba Corporation signed an export agreement for five-axis machine tools with a commercial company in this country.

The country has long maintained close relations with the Soviet Union.

The truth of the matter is about to come to light.

With the help of other countries, the island country's five-axis CNC machine tools were brought to our own country.

have to say.

The Soviet Union's tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west was indeed a brilliant one.

Wang Changsheng asked Lin Kaifeng to come over to show the country's attention to this matter.

Second, get a vaccination.

In terms of nominal status, even if Northern Machinery Company is not a state-owned enterprise, it is still one of the guided enterprises under the First Ministry of Machine Building.

The domestic large aircraft project under the charge of the Third Ministry of Machine Building was taken to the Northern Machinery Company for further research.

As a minister, Wang Changsheng naturally has to ask more questions.

Wang Changsheng joked, "Boy, if I'm not mistaken, once the technicians who are researching domestic large aircraft are seconded to your Northern Machinery Company, regardless of whether the project can be successful in the end, you will not let these technicians and scientists leave easily, right?"

"Haha, leader, you're exaggerating. I'm not a bandit, and Northern Machinery Company is certainly not a den of danger. How is it possible that someone can come here but can't leave?"

Lin Kaifeng smiled and said, "If these aviation experts are unwilling to leave Northern Machinery Company, I naturally cannot force them to leave."

“Come and go as you please, and make your own choices.”

"You are such a little rascal."

Wang Changsheng said with a smile: "If you don't do a good job in your production, you will always have to borrow a large number of talents from various departments every once in a while. The technicians seconded to your company will most likely become your own technicians."

"If things continue like this, even the Dragon National Academy of Sciences won't have as many technical strength and technicians as your Northern Machinery Company."

"You always say that technology is the primary productive force and the core driving force for corporate development. Your company now produces not only household appliances but also various types of vehicles, and is also researching drones and solar power generation technology."

"Now that we are ready to take control of the large aircraft project, it is time to help our sister companies as well."

Hearing this, Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "Minister, you want me to help other companies in the ministry, right?"

"There are no outsiders here. I won't hide it from you. My superiors have revealed to me that perhaps at the end of this year or the beginning of next year, the First Ministry of Machine Building will be merged with a series of machinery departments, including instrumentation, agricultural machinery, and the research and development of some military products. All of these will be the responsibility of the First Ministry of Machine Building."

"In a few months, the work of the ministry will become very complicated. If you really want to help, you can help the ministry solve some problems when the ministry needs it."

Wang Changsheng said seriously.

"In the past, the development of military products was generally the responsibility of the Fifth Machine-Building Department. Now our superiors want to hand over part of the work of the Fifth Machine-Building Department to our First Machine-Building Department. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lin Kaifeng said: "Minister, I understand."

"The department's scope of work will change from industrial machinery and agricultural machinery to the development and sales of some military products. I have kept this in mind. If the department has any needs, I will immediately step forward and assist the department in solving the problem."

Lin Kaifeng answered without hesitation.

Calculating the time, it is time for several major industrial sectors to transform.

The first to undergo transformation was the First Mechanical Department, which ranked first.

The streamlining of the organization will begin this year.

The far-reaching military-to-civilian and internal-to-external transformation has officially begun.

A large number of military factories will be transformed into private enterprises, and Longguo's commodity exports will change from civilian commodity exports to all-round military and civilian exports.

Relying on exports to boost the economy and earn foreign exchange through exports has been formally written into the development resolution.

The various industrial ministries began to carry out drastic reforms.

The first thing to do is to change the name and function.

Through the export of military products, the overall development decision of supporting the military with the people is implemented.
