Military Industry: On the eve of the Anti-Eagle War, unlock the skills of a strong country

Back to Yangcheng Arsenal.

Because of the power outage, Zhang Tian simply gave everyone in the factory a holiday.

It’s embarrassing to think about it. Since I came here, they have been forced to work overtime with me.

It seems like there isn't even a day off.

Every time I am either grinding parts or on the way to grinding parts.

Although they have no complaints, they cannot be like Zhou Paopi.

Take this opportunity to let them have a good rest for a few days.

……

After New Year's Day, the power outage problem was finally fixed.

A transformer that was taken from somewhere was replaced.

This is it, and it was only obtained by Minister Li after much coordination, otherwise it would be of no use at all.

As soon as the electricity was restored, the Yangcheng factory resumed normal production, and the production line that had been shut down for a long time began to move again.

Zhang Tian was looking at the production line in the workshop and suddenly felt that it was time to expand production.

The cost of his production line, whether it is copper or steel, is much lower than before.

Moreover, the workshop in the factory is large enough, and Minister Li has also promised to add more staff to the factory during this period of time.

Then there will be no problem with expanding production.

Just do it, the technology is mature now anyway.

Zhang Tian called Qin Dongtian and told him his ideas.

Qin Dongtian had no objection to this.

He also thought that this plan was feasible because the current workers were already skilled and could lead the production even if new personnel were brought in.

After the two of them reached an agreement, Zhang Tian immediately began to prepare for various matters related to production expansion.

Still have to make a new set of equipment, but it's easy to produce these now.

With machine tools, these simple devices are not difficult at all.

The layout of the workshop was replanned, and then the production line was installed. Qin Dongtian and his team completed all of this.

The staff promised by Minister Li have also gradually arrived.

There weren't many people, only thirty.

But it is enough to fill the current gap in the factory, and half of these people have only a high school education.

Now Zhang Tian was happy.

Half of these people were assigned to research and development, and they were asked to familiarize themselves with the tools and equipment as quickly as possible.

For the rest, Qin Dongtian personally trained the new employees for a few days, and then grouped the skilled workers with the new employees so that the new employees could get started as quickly as possible.

In this way, a new production line started to move again.

This is not the only good news.

The rifle has also been finalized.

After Minister Li and his colleagues returned, they reported the matter to their superiors, who then reported it to the General Assembly. After tests and discussions at the higher levels, it was finally approved.

The Type 50 rifle was officially confirmed as a unified weapon and is now produced by several major factories.

Equip and use as soon as possible.

Zhang Tian just wants to say one thing: well done.

The rifle has been finalized, so the next step is to think about how to start developing new things.

The first is electricity.

Building a hydroelectric power station is not a matter of one day or one night. It is not like equipment, where you can just start building it once you have the information.

There are too many things involved, including site selection, relocation, and construction time.

At present, Zhang Tian is unable to do these things.

Don’t ask, the answer is that he’s not a big enough star.

Moreover, the generator itself only has data, and it has not been built.

I can only report this to my higher-ups, hoping that they will support my plan.

otherwise…….

After downloading the information from the system and packing it up, Zhang Tian prepared to go find Minister Li.

We really need to find him for help in this matter.

After giving Qin Dongtian a few words and asking him to keep an eye on the production in the factory, Zhang Tian rode his bicycle out of the factory gate.

This was Zhang Tian's first visit to his factory's direct leadership unit.

Because I had told Minister Li before coming, when I arrived at the door, there was someone waiting there.

This is Minister Li’s secretary, Xiao Zhou.

After confirming his identity, Xiao Zhou took him to Minister Li's office.

Minister Li had been waiting for him for a long time.

Seeing Zhang Tian coming in, he stood up and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, why did you, a busy man, think of coming to my place today?"

Zhang Tian laughed and said, "Leader, I don't come to you for no reason. I'm here to ask you for help."

Minister Li smiled disapprovingly and pointed to the sofa next to him.

"Sit down first. Let's talk slowly. You can stay here for lunch."

Zhang Tian sat down and took out the information.

He said, "Minister Li, I came here today to talk to you about the electricity problem in my factory."

"My factory has more and more machines now, and it is difficult to support them with the current power supply, so I want to apply to the higher authorities to build a power station."

Minister Li was stunned when he heard this, and the smile on his face froze.

Did he hear it right?

This young man wants to apply to build a power station?

My goodness, he thought Zhang Tian came to him for something.

Who would have thought that this opening would be a power station.

After calming down, Minister Li said, "Xiao Zhang, let's not talk about whether the application for this power station can be approved. Do we have the supporting facilities for this generator?"

Zhang Tian grinned and handed over the information.

"Minister Li, this is indeed possible. I have a set of equipment information for the hydroelectric generator right here."

"Hydroelectric generator?" Minister Li muttered a few words and took it.

He had only heard about the power station.

But I don't understand it at all.

Zhang Tian explained: "Leader, the principle of hydroelectric power generation is based on the energy conversion of water flow."

"Then we built dams to intercept the river and form high-level reservoirs. When the water flows down from the heights, it drives the turbines to rotate, which in turn drives the generators to generate electricity.

Minister Li said, "You mean, we don't need to burn coal anymore?"

"Not a thermal power station?"

Zhang Tian shook his head.

That's definitely not the case. He knows how scarce energy is in the country right now.

The peak production period of coal has not yet arrived.

He said, "Leader, this hydroelectric power station has advantages that thermal power generation cannot compare to. First of all, we don't have to spend money to buy water. As long as the river keeps flowing, hydroelectric power generation can continue."

"Then, we can build a hydroelectric power station. The efficiency of this type of power generation is higher than that of thermal power generation. The efficiency of a hydroelectric power station can reach more than 90%."

"This is something that none of the other power plants can compare to. In addition, the operating cost of hydropower is relatively low. Once a power station is built, it does not require a large amount of fuel purchase costs like thermal power generation.

After hearing this, Minister Li silently lit a cigarette.

Minister Li thought that Zhang Tian’s proposal was quite thoughtful.

There are really many benefits to building a power station.

First of all, this can solve the electricity problem of Yangcheng Arsenal, and secondly, if this is really successful.

This will be a valuable experience for them in the future.

Think about it, if we can build hydroelectric power plants ourselves, then do we still need to buy fuel for thermal power plants?

Currently, their power generation method still relies on this combustion method.

If it really works, he is willing to give it a try.

After flipping through the information in his hand, Minister Li asked again: "Xiao Zhang, are you sure this can generate electricity?"

Zhang Tian nodded and replied: "Leader, I am sure that this generator information is OK. I just wanted to come over and report to you first."

"If it works, we can start working on both sides. You'll be responsible for infrastructure construction, and I'll be responsible for research and development."

Minister Li looked at Zhang Tian with some surprise.

Research and development at the same time?

How could he go up there and talk about something that hadn't even been seen yet?

After thinking for a while, he said, "Xiao Zhang, I'll tell you the truth. If I report this, I will basically be rejected."

"The higher-ups can't just go ahead and build a hydropower station based on our report."

Of course Zhang Tian knew that this would be difficult, otherwise why would he come to see Minister Li.

If it's something you can do easily.

He is already leading people to dig up the mountain, why is he coming here to report?

Zhang Tian said with a smile: "Minister Li, I came here to talk about this matter because I want you to help me. The arsenal will definitely not be able to supply enough electricity in the future."

"It's like the anti-aircraft artillery equipment I'm preparing to develop now. This thing involves something called radar. If there's no power, then what's the point of developing it?"

“It can’t be used without electricity.”

"Then I might as well stay in the factory and specialize in producing bullets."

"Xiao Zhang, you said you are developing anti-aircraft guns now?" Minister Li stood up suddenly when he heard it.

Anti-aircraft gun.

How could he not know this?

The Russians have it, but they won’t give it to you.

Now their radio still often broadcasts information about the bald men frequently sending planes to harass.

They all hated it so much.

But there is nothing we can do.

It's because they don't have any equipment to shoot down those planes.

They have artillery, but they can't fire that high, and they can't do anything about those planes.

have to say.

Zhang Tian deliberately threw out this smoke bomb, which actually hooked Minister Li.

"Xiao Zhang, what stage has your research and development reached now? Have you started work? When can you produce samples?" Minister Li asked anxiously.

Zhang Tian smiled and held up a finger, saying, "Boss, I can guarantee that the sample will be made within a month."

“Is this my power station…?”

One month's time.

Minister Li's face lit up when he heard this.

He believed what Zhang Tian said, and he made the previous pieces of equipment as he said.

Time has never let them down.

If that's the case, then there's something to discuss.

Minister Li said with a little excitement: "Xiao Zhang, don't worry about the power station. I will do it for you even if I have to fight with the higher-ups."

"But there is one thing. You can't stand me up with this anti-aircraft gun."

"I know you are capable, and I have to say this in advance, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my superiors."

Zhang Tian felt relieved when he heard it.

Since Minister Li has said so, then this matter is basically not a big problem.

"Boss, don't worry about this. If I say one month, it means one month. You have to pay more attention to this power station. It is really important to the future of the factory."

Minister Li smiled and nodded.

With the anti-aircraft gun as a bargaining chip in his hand, he can really accomplish this task.

Besides, building a power station is a good thing.

Why don’t the higher-ups agree?

After seeing Zhang Tian off, Minister Li went straight to the chief's office.

……

Zhang Tian was in a good mood and rode his 28-inch bicycle back to the factory.

If the electricity problem is solved, he can set his sights further.

No, it's bigger.

The current state of the Yangcheng Arsenal is not his goal.

He thought that one day he would build it into a modern factory with his own hands.

Yes, it’s the kind from later generations.

Automated production, a wide range of high-end instruments, and unparalleled development capabilities.

Even if it's just an airplane, we have the ability to produce it.

In that case.

His trip to this world was not in vain.

What I promised to Minister Li should be done well, so I called Qin Dongtian when I returned to the factory.

Let him call those fifteen people to the office for a meeting.

Let's discuss how to divide the work and cooperate to complete the two projects of anti-aircraft gun and generator.

Zhang Tian’s idea was to assign ten people to specifically build the parts of the generator, and then assemble them after they were built.

Because this project is not urgent, even two months is fine.

As for the anti-aircraft guns, let’s deal with them first.

Soon, everyone arrived at the office. Zhang Tian asked them to sit down and then took out two thick documents.

Without saying too much polite words, he directly stated the mission of this time, which was to see which project these fifteen people wanted to participate in.

The anti-aircraft artillery has its own team, so they won’t be anxious if they encounter problems. As for the generators, they can only rely on themselves.

Zhang Tian also said that his focus would only be on the anti-aircraft guns first.

"Director, I'll go."

"I'll go too. I just want to challenge myself."

"I'll go too. I know how to use the machine tool."

"No one can say the same thing, except you."

…………

The people below looked at each other, and then raised their hands to go to the generator project.

Their ideas are very simple, everyone wants to prove themselves.

They are all young people full of vigor and vitality, and none of them will give in to the other.

Soon, a quarrel broke out.

Qin Dongtian's face darkened and he slammed the table heavily.

"Be quiet, everyone. Why are you making so much noise? I asked you to sign up, not to fight."

"Now, let's listen to what Director Zhang has to say."

Qin Dongtian got angry and shocked the group of people at once.

There was an instant of complete silence from the audience.

Zhang Tian looked at them with a smile, and was too lazy to say anything more. He directly selected five people and left the rest to Qin Dongtian.

Then I gave him the drawings and information of the generator.

He took the five men out.
