Chapter 60, Technology Tree Planning
What made him happy during his exchange with Wu Jiarong today was the attitude of the female technician.
Although she did not answer her previous question of 'do you believe it or not', she expressed her attitude in the subsequent explanation.
And in the end, this meaning is even more obvious:
"If you trust me, Lord Governor, I can enter and work in the secret factory. It will be your research and development center, and all your technological output in the future will have a reasonable explanation."
Wu Jiarong's attitude seemed humble.
Gu Hang looked at her with a smile.
"Very good, I am very satisfied with your suggestion. I hope you can do everything you promised, and I also guarantee that you can get what you want."
Wu Jiarong's heart skipped a beat, but she soon became calm again.
She was sure that Governor Gu understood what she meant.
Entering the work of the Governor's secret factory will certainly allow all special output to be passed on to her in the future. In addition to the normal confidentiality mechanism, another layer of illusion is created, that is, a talented technical master is working for the Governor to explain the output of the secret factory-or the future Wu Jiarong Research Institute.
In this way, if outsiders want to find out the secret, they must first break through the confidentiality mechanism and means, and then the person they see is her, and then solve her to get the secret of the black box.
The level of insurance has increased significantly.
But again, she can gain more.
She will become the Governor's most important technical advisor. Even if a better technical expert comes in the future, she will not have to worry about her position being replaced; even if she is lying around doing nothing, there will be a steady stream of people in the future. The output of technical knowledge and various technological achievements will be placed on her head. Especially with the development of the governor's territory, more and better new technologies will appear in the future. She may really become a sage just lying down.
What's more, being able to study the black box, a technological artifact of the golden age, at close range was something she could never imagine in the past. With her previous status, it was impossible to have access to such top-notch research materials.
She knew that she was not capable of dismantling the black box and studying its contents. There were so many top sages in the entire Mechanicus who couldn't figure out the stuff, and it was even more impossible for a little technical specialist like her to figure it out.
But what if there is even a little gain and a little inspiration?
As long as she scratches the surface, it may be able to match the results of her past long-term study of technology.
Done!
……
The arrangement came quickly. After Gu Hang left, Wu Jiarong immediately took people, led by the governor's loyal servitor soldiers, and settled in the secret factory.
This place was renamed into a research institute, but unfortunately, it could not be changed to the 'Wu Jiarong Research Institute' as she wished, but there was no name at all.
But she didn't care either.
She has seen a bright future, which directly boosts her motivation to work.
She quickly came up with the application plan for the ‘Crushing Stone’ engine that Gu Hang asked for.
It was not a crude thing that was made that day to deal with the governor, but a serious thing that was constructed with painstaking efforts.
It's still not advanced, and anything too advanced would be difficult for her. However, what the Governor required was not to be advanced, but to have sufficient reliability and relatively low difficulty in mass production.
In these aspects, she has achieved the ultimate.
She believes that no one at the same level as a technical specialist can do it better than her. After all, she was almost promoted to a mechanic back then, but failed in the promotion because she failed in the struggle. She has always felt that her true level has reached the level of a mechanic.
And what she took out was not just a piece of design drawing, but also included two samples.
A three-wheeled car has a body that can carry three people, and there is room for a machine gun on the side of the body.
A military three-wheeler just came out.
The larger engine was used to build a large locomotive. It is also adapted to various types of car bodies, carriages, and flatbeds, and can be hung behind the front of the car. It can be used to transport cargo or as a troop transport truck.
After seeing the finished product and even trying to drive it himself, Gu Hang was very satisfied with Wu Jiarong's work!
He decided on model names for these two cars.
The three-bounce model is finalized as ‘Rover-XL100’.
The front of the truck is named ‘Tianniu-RN100’.
These two types of cars will definitely continue to iterate in the future.
Wu Jiarong has also figured out their large-scale mass production plan, and the follow-up related work will also be handed over to the Wasted Dong Society.
The alloy plastic steel processing plant will be responsible for the production of some spare parts; a new car factory will be built, and the process and production lines will be built under the guidance of Wu Jiarong to start trying mass production.
The engine yard is not in a hurry. The mother machine black box can directly pull out the production lines of two different specifications of stone engines. There is no need to rush to build it now. It will not be used for the time being. The speed of building cars is not enough. If we build too many engines, they will just sit and gather dust.
After that, Wu Jiarong kept talking and told Gu Hang a lot about what she planned to do later.
Pondering the black box, trying to improve the technical level without dismantling it, perfecting the theory, studying the various products of the black box... These are her own 'cultivations', so I won't go into details.
In addition, she will also make the "research institute" work worthy of its name.
In the future, she plans to engage in research and development of propellants and artillery shells.
This aspect should be easy to handle. Of course, the production line of the G9 gun family has bullet production technology. The propellant is also a key part. However, the production line created by the black box is purely for the G9 gun family and is not suitable for use on guns. But since the production technology is ready, with Wu Jiarong's ability, it is appropriate to take out the production part of the propellant separately and specialize in production.
Coupled with the production of warheads and warheads, subsequent artillery shells can also be produced in-house. Gu Hang does not have to worry too much about running out of mortar shells and his mortars becoming empty frames.
It's not just mortars, it's also possible to make rockets.
And with the production capacity of artillery shells, artillery must also be put on the agenda. Different from mortars, according to Wu Jiarong's design, she was going to create a serious, large-caliber artillery.
Artillery is the god of war!
She designed a 155mm howitzer, and the technology was still adapted to local conditions, with the core being strong leather, durable, high reliability, simple technology and easy to implement. Of course, this will also cause the accuracy to be affected, but it doesn't hurt.
This is in line with the Governor-General’s idea of "solve the problems first, and then the good and the bad".
In addition, rocket launchers that can be used by individual soldiers and rocket nests that can fire continuously will also be put on the agenda.
When the time comes, it will be paired with the 'Tianniu' truck, or at most some improved version, and there will be heavy firepower equipment such as rocket nest launchers, towed artillery, and even self-propelled artillery.
