While building the Dalinol base, Qi Yiming was still discussing with Liao Huairen the grand plan of arming the PLA.
"I have seen the capabilities of the base. It is indeed a necessary way to enhance the level of our PLA equipment. However, it is still relatively difficult to fully replace the equipment. The Military Commission discussed that we should first arm our frontline land warfare troops with one hand, and use the other hand to equip some capable The transferred technology is transplanted to our military industry enterprises. After all, the production capacity of the base alone cannot keep up," Liao Huairen said to Qi Yiming while sitting in his office.
Qi Yiming knew in his heart that although the base had provided a large amount of valuable scientific information and other information to the officials these days, after all, the person in charge of the base was not the Military Commission but Qi Yiming himself. In particular, the capabilities possessed by the base are enough to make anyone in power fear them. Qi Yiming feels that it is not easy for the leaders to agree to cooperate with him.
Technology and skills can only be obtained if the company masters them, and the base can be regarded as a foreign object for the time being. It is more cost-effective and closer than things imported from abroad, but it is still an uncontrollable factor in nature.
He is well aware of the official considerations and understands them, and of course he will not expose them in front of Liao Huairen.
Even if Qi Yiming wanted to teach the military industrial companies about the weapons in the Red Alert Base, they would not be able to make them. What's more, Qi Yiming lacks the information in his hands and the combat laboratory must be upgraded to a certain level to obtain complete information. Information, not to mention that I can't even build a combat laboratory now.
¡°But China itself can provide all the results of thirty years of military industry development, but even so it is not optimistic. The military industry is one of the most difficult categories in industrial production. It tests the comprehensive level of a country's manufacturing industry. Under the barrel effect, even a shortcoming cannot support high-performance weapons and equipment, not to mention that it has just experienced the tenth The Chinese dynasty, which had been in turmoil for just a few years, was short of money, talent, proper management models, and experience.
First of all, in terms of weapon design, it is difficult for Republic Army workers who lack experience and have not been systematically guided to surpass their competitors at the starting point. Considering that technology is now being transferred, the design problems have been made up for. But in terms of design materials, metallurgy, composite materials and other disciplines, academic theories have not kept up, let alone production capabilities. There is also precision machining technology. First of all, there is a lack of equipment. CNC machine tools are in the ascendant in this era. It is almost impossible for the Republic to get one. Those large five-axis linkage CNC machine tools are important to the country. Traditionally, exports are strictly restricted; secondly, there is a lack of processing experience. Countries that have been industrializing for decades are definitely not good at this. Don¡¯t think that workers can handle everything as long as they have a complete set of instructions. Some Germans When American workers operate machine tools, it is impossible to record in words where they make an extra cut or when they are off by a certain amount, and these things are beyond the control of Chinese workers.
After taking stock of the system, in a republic that is almost completely backward, even if there is technology transfer, various metallurgical formulas, composite material formulas, and processing techniques, it is really difficult to come up with these things.
Qi Yiming wanted to help, but the tank factories, arsenals and other things in his base were all strictly sealed. No one knew what the operating mechanism was inside. Qi Yiming guessed that with that kind of unusual The production capacity that is consistent with common sense and the operating principle are probably not the same as modern industrial manufacturing.
"I can solve some of the equipment problems for you. I will open a second tank factory next. The production capacity of this factory will be used to produce large hydraulic presses, free forging hydraulic presses, five-axis linkage CNC machine tools and a series of other products related to national defense. Related heavy equipment, with these things, it has laid the foundation for any kind of production. Haha, in my time we always called "leap-forward development", but now what we are going to do is really leap-forward development. "Although these heavy equipment are not military products, they are inseparable from military products. It is absolutely impossible to manufacture advanced weapons and equipment without these things.
In the era before Qi Yiming's time travel, China's heavy equipment was already world-famous, and it had continuously overcome many difficulties. The world's largest free-forging hydraulic press, the world's largest continuous casting machine, it seemed that China's heavy industry at that time was on par with the world's largest The word Mao is on. One of the most classic jokes also confirms China's achievements in the development of heavy equipment: after the subprime mortgage crisis, US President Oguan Hai delivered a speech at a certain port, claiming to revitalize the manufacturing industry and regain American jobs. At this moment, a breeze blew by, blowing away a piece of red cloth on the huge gantry crane behind him as a background, symbolizing the power of heavy industry. After people saw it, they were in an uproar, and Ao Guanhai was extremely embarrassed, because the red cloth was specially set up to cover four Chinese characters, which were: China Zhenhua.
??????????????????????????????????This happened after 2005. Now is not an era when the United States even built a Zumwalt-class super destroyer with Chinese equipment, nor is it an era when the F-35 cannot fly without Chinese magnetic equipment. This is an era where parts are not even standardized, and it is an era of overall backwardness.
"No matter how long it takes, after the equipment is in place, a number of equipment manufacturing enterprises such as the First Heavy Industry and the Second Heavy Industry must step up their time to digest and absorb these transferred technologies. Heavy industrial equipment is an important weapon of the country and is also a high value-added product. If Being able to do it twenty years in advance, relying on our cost advantage, is also very helpful in boosting the economy," Qi Yiming explained.
He sat on the sofa and rested one leg on the other. He thought of something else and said, "Can't my barracks be used to recruit soldiers? You told me before that you wouldn't let me recruit combatants at will. After I agreed, I forgot about the other One thing, in addition to basic combatants such as mobilization troops, I can also produce 80 engineers per day here. These engineers can be trained in a targeted manner. For example, some engineers are in the aviation industry, some are in the shipbuilding industry, or some are in the manufacturing industry. Powerful, or engaged in metallurgical materials."
Liao Huairen's eyes lit up: "You still have this ability? Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Qi Yiming was also a little embarrassed: "I can't remember this kind of thing, because I don't know much about technology transfer."
Although humans have created many machines, the core part of labor is still humans themselves. Liao Huairen is also very aware of the importance of some skilled engineers to the country. Back then, the Mao Xiong family, who was still a good brother, sent countless engineers from all walks of life on the basis of a poor and poor agricultural country whose industrial capacity was even inferior to that of colonial India. Industry experts came to China to support the Tu family in establishing industry. At that time, the Mao Xiong did not hide his secrets. In the enthusiasm of founding the country and under the national system, we absorbed it crazily, and finally established a complete industrial system before the last turning point in history, laying the foundation for the future development of the Republic. A solid foundation has been laid.
In the 1970s and 1980s, when the Rabbit Family was still a "NATO Sixteenth Foreign Country", technical personnel from Western countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States also provided support and assistance to the Rabbit Family, but that was quite limited. For example, Rolls-Royce gave The Rabbit Spey engine was indeed a good thing at the time. But given the relevant technical information, they were unwilling to teach you step by step. In 1975, the two parties signed a technology transfer agreement, and it was not until 2003 that XAC completed the localization project
So some things really don¡¯t just need to be learned and figured out with technical skills. Someone taught them step by step, led the apprentices to dismantle a few machines, put them back together, and asked the apprentices to do it themselves. Point out any problems and why this works or that. It cannot be explained clearly that it is the most effective in this situation.
80 engineers can be assigned to various industries every day, and 2,400 skilled engineers can be found in a month. They can be dispersed into every large enterprise. They can immediately become the backbone of technology and become the best fertilizer for seeds. There are towering trees.
Liao Huairen doesn¡¯t need to ask his superiors for instructions. Originally, they banned Qi Yiming from recruiting combatants, which was equivalent to abolishing the production capacity of his barracks. Now the barracks in the base are producing small weapons such as rocket launchers and machine guns and rifles. The ability to be reused to recruit people is an unexpected gain. He also believes that if the level of these engineers is really good, companies that know the goods will be willing to pay a lot of money to hire them. These are not ordinary workers, but senior workers, who maintain the lifeblood of the enterprise.
There used to be such a story in the factory world. In a workshop, there was a master who led the workers to produce. If the master fell ill and did not come one day, the whole workshop could only do some piecemeal work, and normal production would not be possible at all. The role of technical backbones in the manufacturing industry is evident. This is true even in the sophisticated and complex aero-engine manufacturing industry. If senior engineers don't come to work, everyone else's work is in vain.
The so-called engineers produced by the base are actually those hard hats who repair bridges, occupy oil wells, and buildings in the game. After the realization, these engineers will not be able to walk into a building and claim sovereignty, but the ability to train engineers in a targeted manner allows Qi Yiming to obtain a large number of technical backbones. The Tu family now continues these senior engineers. With them, China's industry will surely reach a new level.
After Liao Huairen reported the matter to the capital, major companies almost broke their heads as they scrambled to acquire these talents one after another. Originally, the Ministry of Ordnance Industry could freely allocate to each enterprise who should go first and who should receive the amount. Later, ministries such as the Ministry of Petroleum Industry, the Ministry of Aerospace Industry, and the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry also got involved. In the end, even the Ministry of Light Industry, which played a soy sauce role, felt that it could not be content with others and would seize any benefits.
