Chapter 337 Officially Delivered
In the capital in June, the temperature has begun to rise.
But walking at the Capital Institute of Technology, there are tall poplar trees on both sides of the school road, but it is not hot at all.
These months are basically the months with the highest green area coverage in the capital. When autumn comes, all kinds of leaves fall off, and the entire capital will turn gray.
“Experts from the Seventh Machinery Department have come to the site for review. Do the relevant performance indicators meet their requirements?”
The Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory is located in a new factory area five or six kilometers northwest of Capital Institute of Technology.
In later generations, this area was considered an urban area, but now the surrounding area is still farmland.
Jiang Hui went to Capital Institute of Technology. After attending several meetings at the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, he followed Zhu Jiansheng and others to the Capital Institute of Technology Special Vehicle Factory.
“The standards set by the Seventh Machinery Department for us at the beginning were not particularly high. We all design and develop according to the standards you originally set.”
“The current prototype distance There is still a slight gap in the indicators you mentioned, but compared with the parameters set by the Seventh Machinery Department, they have all been exceeded.”
"So the Seventh Machinery Department was very satisfied with the prototype confirmation work this time, and directly informed us that we can enter mass production."
"The biggest problem now is not our missile launch Whether the vehicle can meet the design requirements is a matter of how many vehicles the Seventh Machinery Department needs us to produce.”
Zhu Jiansheng regards the intercontinental ballistic missile launch vehicle project as the most important project of the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering in the past two years. Come and do it, even regardless of the cost.
Almost all the profits provided by the Humvee military vehicle project were thrown into the missile launch vehicle.
Otherwise, it would be completely impossible to complete the design and development of missile vehicles with just the small amount of funds provided by relevant departments.
Now that the product is developed, it depends on how much demand there is from the relevant departments.
The production cost of an intercontinental ballistic missile is not low, and there is no way to export such a thing to spread the cost.
China's current general direction is to develop the economy. Strategic weapons such as intercontinental ballistic missiles must be developed. However, once they are developed, they will not be used as large-scale equipment. They will only be carried in small batches in some teams.
As a result, the orders from Ligong Special Vehicle Factory will naturally not be many.
“We have already produced twelve-axle intercontinental missile launch vehicles. Simplifying the production of eight- and six-axle launch vehicles will not be a problem.”
"The demand for these launch vehicles is relatively large, and some of them can be used for export."
'The next part of the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory can produce all these products. '
"Not to mention making more money, at least relying on the allocation of relevant units, the missile launch vehicle project can still be achieved without losing money."
"With the addition of more Humvee military vehicles It is taken back to the factory to produce it. In the future, this part of the profit can be used to develop some other products.” It’s significantly reduced.”
"For example, the heavy truck project is not a problem at all. Now we can do it in a big way."
As for the future development direction of the Ligong Special Vehicle Factory, Jiang Hui had discussed with Zhu Jiansheng before.
Heavy-duty trucks are one of the important development projects. According to the current progress schedule, products will be launched next year.
The life of the Ligong Special Vehicle Factory will then be much easier.
“Your point of view is similar to what was discussed at our school committee. Now we can only rely on the heavy truck project and the Humvee military vehicle project to inject blood into the missile launch vehicle project.”
"Besides heavy trucks, do you have any other ideas for other projects?"
It's rare to call Jiang Hui back. Zhu Jiansheng and several other professors must all want to start from Jiang Hui. Hui "squeezes" more ideas out of him.
“I think we can communicate with the relevant departments about the needs in this area, such as the pontoons used by field troops. I think there is actually room for improvement.”
“If we can directly Developed a bridge erecting machine for the field department There should be a certain demand for the team to quickly build bridges.”
“Another example is the excavation of some trenches. Currently, the south side still relies mainly on manual work. If there is a special machine for digging trenches, it should be used. It’s also very popular.”
"And this kind of product can also be considered for export."
"There is no problem in further expanding the Ligong Special Vehicle Factory into a professional construction machinery manufacturer."
“Various excavators, road rollers and other products, accompanied by The expansion of infrastructure in various places should be very marketable.”
“And some of the technologies used in these products have a high degree of overlap with the technologies we have now.”
Jiang Hui threw out all kinds of ideas at once.
As for which product the Ligong Special Vehicle Factory chooses to focus on developing first, he doesn't care.
Anyway, these products have a certain market, and China does have related needs.
As long as you do it, you won’t lose money.
And these are considered to be heavy industries, which are most suitable for the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory.
Not to mention special products, they can all be used in the military industry in the future.
"Zhu Xiao, I think what Director Jiang said is quite reasonable. We can indeed make full use of existing technology to expand and develop various construction machinery. In the future, whether it is provided to the military or sold to various enterprises, There is a huge market for them to use.”
“Nowadays, some high-end construction machinery needs to be imported, and there are still big technical differences between domestically produced ones. We at Science and Technology. The special vehicle factory can develop construction machinery as one of its key products. "
"In the future, the military vehicle division, heavy truck division, and construction machinery division will cooperate with each other, so that science and engineering can be fully developed. The special vehicle factory has become the largest heavy-duty special vehicle factory in the country and even the world."
Lai Yongfeng was very moved when he heard it and couldn't help but interject.
As an expert in the field of chassis, he knows very well how much experience he has accumulated in the chassis during the development process of the intercontinental missile launch vehicle.
These experiences can be used on other heavy trucks and construction machinery.
“When I went abroad for inspection before, I saw many special vehicles abroad.”
“Wreck clearing, sweeping, cleaning, lifting, loading and unloading, lifting, mixing, excavation, There is a huge demand in the market for various special-purpose motor vehicles for earthmoving, refrigeration, insulation, etc., but each manufacturer does not pay enough attention to it, or It is said that the products produced cannot meet the market demand.”
“Even for fire trucks, many domestic units are still thinking of importing them from abroad. If we do a good job, it will still be very difficult. There are leaders.”
People who are engaged in research and development must hope to have more projects in hand, so that they can achieve results.
In particular, Lai Yongfeng, as a professor at Capital University of Technology, still has graduate students to take care of, and he wants to have more projects so that the institute can have its own good topics to study. In the future, he will further lead doctoral students to do projects, and more projects will be needed.
There are many projects, whether it is writing a paper or applying for various achievements and awards, there is always something to write about.
Otherwise, just relying on random fabrications will burn countless brain cells and make you feel weak in your heart.
“Professor Lai is right. Any one of these products is worthy of a professor and a research team to study.”
"When the time comes to give full play to the advantages of production, academia and research, the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory will not only be able to provide sufficient R&D funds for the school, but also cultivate a large number of talents."
"At that time, it will be driven by these projects alone. Vehicle engineering major, mechanical design and automation major, materials science, engineering mechanics, mechatronics, industrial engineering The rapid development of a series of majors such as engineering, logistics management, accounting, etc. cannot be measured by simple gains.”
“By then, Capital Institute of Technology’s reputation in China will definitely be among the best, and we will directly pursue it in the future. It’s not impossible to go to Qingbei.”
Jiang Hui drew a big cake for Zhu Jiansheng and others.
Among the universities in China, Qingbei is unique. No matter how other universities brag, they only dare to say that the subject ranking of one of their majors may be better than that of Qingbei, and they never dare to say their overall strength. Better than Qingbei.
But if the Capital Institute of Technology can really build the Capital Institute of Technology Special Vehicle Factory into the world's largest special vehicle factory and do a good job in R&D and production, then the impact will be really huge.
Not to mention surpassing Qingbei and becoming a school of the same level as Qingbei, that is entirely possible.
The premise is that this road can be continued, so that the product research and development of Ligong Special Vehicle Factory will always be at the forefront of the world.
“It is unrealistic to launch too many projects at once. Our manpower and funds are still limited.”
“The Department of Vehicle Engineering will decide which projects to launch first. Let’s discuss it and then report it to the school in the courtyard.”
Zhu Jiansheng was moved!
His pursuit of the future is relatively high, and the position of president of Capital Institute of Technology is definitely not his end.
The better the performance of Ligong Special Vehicle Factory, the more likely it is that Zhu Jiansheng will be promoted in the future.
"The leaders of the Seventh Machinery Department and the Fifth Machinery Department should be arriving soon. Let's go to the factory gate to greet them."
Continuing the discussion will not lead to results so quickly, Zhu Jiansheng After taking a look at the watch, he led everyone to the entrance of the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory to wait for the leaders to arrive.
Fortunately, at this time, the leaders' schedules are still relatively timely, and basically there won't be much difference when they agree to arrive.
Jiang Hui followed Zhu Jiansheng and others at the factory gate and did not wait long before several BJ310s drove over.
Li Darui, chief engineer of the Seventh Machinery Department, Vice Minister Chen Erdong, and Hu Yong, Director of the Fifth Machinery Department, all got out of the car and visited the factory with great interest under the leadership of Zhu Jiansheng and others.
After a long circle, there was the handover ceremony of the intercontinental ballistic missile launch vehicle.
Because the missile must be loaded onto the launch vehicle first, and then the handover unit must undergo training before it is finally delivered to the user unit for installation.
Therefore, this time the missile launch vehicles will be driven to the intercontinental ballistic missile factory of the Seventh Machinery Department.
It is obviously not suitable for these special vehicles to appear on the street in broad daylight.
Only when people move in the dead of night can they avoid making such a big noise.
However, it is obviously a bit difficult to keep it completely confidential.
Fortunately, the information has been passed on before this project, so there is no need to keep it secret.
After all, it will appear directly in the military parade during this year's National Day.
At that time, there was no way to keep things like the appearance of a vehicle a secret.
On the entire Chang'an Avenue, there must be many foreign reporters with the most advanced cameras and cameras to record all the information about the launch vehicle.
It’s just that there are some things that you can’t figure out just by looking at the appearance.
Just like some American strategic bombers, they were launched decades ago, and the media has reported many photos, but who can copy them?
At least in 1984, no country in the world could copy it.
"Woodcock, the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory delivered a batch of very special missile launch vehicles to a missile factory in China. According to our expert analysis, this is the Chinese intercontinental ballistic missile launch vehicle."
“This shows that China will soon have the ability to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles from land.”
As an important member of the U.S. Embassy, Smith has been paying attention to various intelligence from China over the years. .
For example, this time the delivery of the missile launcher of the special vehicle for science and technology was not carried out in a highly confidential environment. It is not particularly strange that Smith's informants can get the news.
"Has China mastered the technology of intercontinental ballistic missile launch vehicles so quickly?"
Woodcock couldn't help but recall the scene when he first came to China a few years ago.
At that time, there were basically no high-rise buildings in the capital area, and there were no major projects under construction.
The various weapons and equipment displayed by China to the outside world are even more backward.
Even products like running radar need to be imported from abroad.
As for high-end military products such as intercontinental ballistic missiles, there is no such thing.
Now we not only have intercontinental ballistic missiles, but also have land-based launch capabilities.
The missile launch vehicles have been built, rockets? The launch vehicle is naturally not a problem.
This means that China's intercontinental ballistic missiles can carry nuclear warheads and be launched from fixed launch silos or trains or missile launch vehicles.
It doesn’t seem so strange that it may be possible to launch from a submarine one day in the future.
This speed of progress made Woodcock feel the pressure.
"Although it is a bit hard to believe, I think that may be the case."
Smith spread his hands and showed a very helpless expression.
Fortunately, the relationship between the United States and China is still very close at this time, so although such an important information has brought impact to Smith and Woodcock, it will not cause them to propose changes to the country. Attitude towards China.
