"It's not about creating new industries, it's about these things that we're already doing. In the future, we will only engage in core ones, such as technical design, production of ultra-high-precision parts, and research and development. Production outsourcing. "Xie Kai really doesn't want to start a new project.

Today, it is necessary to fully integrate resources.

This is also the reason why he said when he came back that he was going to get the Yunshi design team to the base, and Qin Fei left behind the production experimental equipment.

It would be terrible to build a production plant for large aircraft in the mountains.

Transportation is not convenient, that is completely unnecessary, but the 65,000-ton press produced later, you can put it here, anyway, there is no shortage of supporting anything, the base has a nuclear power plant, and there will be no lack of energy.

In this mountain, there is no need to think too much about pollution.

"There are so many people, most of them are production-oriented. Xie Jianguo felt that Xie Kai was taking it for granted, "And the technicians outside are becoming more and more reluctant to enter the mountains." All kinds are inconvenient. ”

"We have enough facilities, and in the future, this will become a place that everyone yearns for, a new city...... Xie Kai has always positioned 404 as a military science and technology city. "The production capacity in the civilian field has gradually shifted to Jiayuguan. Military science and technology must be separated from civilian science and technology, and the further we go, the more difficult it will be to do the work of secrecy. ”

Xie Jianguo nodded.

The father and son walked towards the 359 workshop, the current 359 workshop, from the outside, is no different from before, but when they get inside, they find all kinds of differences.

A large number of wooden tank models were densely placed in the specially built carport outside the workshop, and the first batch of tanks of various modifications were also removed.

"Why are there so many people inside?" Xie Kai entered the workshop and found that there were many people in the entire workshop.

The equipment is still the same as before, the office area has expanded a lot, the models that were originally in the workshop have been outside, and there are many workbenches in the middle of the workshop, on which some parts are stacked clad with some parts.

When Xie Kai entered, many workers gathered around the workbench to play cards, and some people smoked on the side, making a miasma.

"Didn't you say that there were many people, and there were not many results in the end, and there were a lot of projects at the same time, which consumed hundreds of thousands of funds every month, not counting the cost ......of some engines, etc." Xie Jianguo saw Xie Kai's ugly expression, and explained with a wry smile, "Now that the Ministry of Finance is stuck with this side of the fund, there will be such consequences." ”

Xie Kai nodded, indicating that he understood.

The 359 workshop is responsible for him, he usually doesn't care about the affairs of the 359 workshop, and in more than a year, the 359 workshop began to expand from the initial more than 30 people to a team of hundreds of people.

The staff is too bloated.

If it's just like this, the base management can still bear it, but the 359 workshop consumes too much money, and all kinds of modifications are to change some small places, and it is to build a model, and then go to get a sample car......

"What about Liang Xiaolong?" Xie Kai called out to a young glasses who had passed past him, this one was definitely not in the workshop when he was here before.

"Director Liang hasn't come yet, little brother, this is a confidential workshop, it's troublesome if the internal guard comes over in a while, let's leave quickly." The young glasses kindly persuaded Xie Kai.

Xie Kai sighed.

"What are you doing? What time is it? Still not working? Do you really have to kill this workshop to be willing?" A rough voice came from the other end of the office.

"Deputy Director Mo, didn't the superiors allocate funds to us? The materials are gone, what are we doing?"

"That's it, Deputy Director Mo, you are in charge of this matter, and you didn't do a good job as a director, so we have nothing to do......

Mo Ying seems to be quite aggrieved in this workshop.

Xie Kai saw the situation of this workshop, he didn't know how the 359 workshop, which originally had a strong working atmosphere, could become like this.

stepped forward, didn't care about others, and said to Mo Ying, "Deputy Director Mo, Liang Xiaolong will come here in a while, let him go to the office of Director Zheng Yucheng of the headquarters organ." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"This is leaving?" Xie Jianguo thought his son was going to have a seizure.

The purpose of bringing Xie Kai here is to let him see the current situation of 359 and prevent Xie Kai from preventing the abolition of the 359 workshop.

"Dad, I said it at the beginning, you don't have to worry about me stopping it. I didn't expect workshop 359 to turn out like this. Xie Kai sighed, a little lost.

This workshop is the starting point of the entire base.

The first batch of 359 tanks has already been sprinkled on the battlefield between Iran and Iraq, and many Persian tanks have been killed.

Layoffs are indeed distressing.

But Xie Kai was also reluctant to let people use the 359 workshop to do something else.

"Your performance is very mature, even if you are angry at those workers and technicians, it is useless. Xie Jianguo felt that his son handled this matter very well, "Don't mess around anymore in the future, although your mother usually doesn't say it, she worries about your affairs more than anyone else." ”

"Dad, don't worry. "There are some things that Xie Kai can't explain to his father.

The father and son discussed some things about the base as they walked towards the headquarters office.

At the base at noon, the sun was very hot.

Xie Kai's heart was cold.

And some of his father's words made his cold heart begin to warm up again.

There are many situations in the base, and the management committee is also weak to control, and the huge institutions and the drawbacks accumulated over decades are simply not something that can be solved in a short period of time.

"Do you see the situation?" asked the old guy after Xie Kai and his son arrived at Zheng Yucheng's office.

Xie Kai nodded, "This situation, you have found out, and it should have been solved a long time ago, instead of having scruples." Leader, if it's another unit, we can't help it, our own unit, because there are no such problems, right?"

Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai and said in his heart, aren't you afraid of making trouble?

In the end, I couldn't say anything.

"Look at your enamel cup for drinking water, looking at the work or something, all of them were just when the base was just built, and they haven't changed it for so many years, aren't they distressed that they waste funds like that?" Xie Kai's words made Zheng Yucheng and the others unable to refute.

The office supplies of the base, until now, have not been replaced.

Many of the units outside are imported from the top of the country, in order to look atmospheric.

It's all state money anyway.

"You mean to replace office supplies?" Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai.

"......" Xie Kai was speechless.

In the whole office, most of them are wooden office supplies, and the paint on them has been mottled, but the phone on his work is relatively new.

"If you want to replace it, that's fine. But not too luxurious, after all, we don't often receive outsiders here. Over at the guest house, you should take care of it. The customers are all important foreign customers......" Xie Kai thought about it and said. "At the very least, it has to look more modern. ”

"Why don't you get this?" asked Zheng Yucheng.

Xie Kai shook his head, "These things in the base are not important, what matters is the internal management." Now there are still nearly 10,000 people in the entire base who have no work to do!"

"I've always been worried about this problem. The 359 workshop is not an exception, even Hongqi Machinery Factory and other units have such a situation, but Hongqi Machinery Factory is busy with business, and it is not very obvious. From the very beginning, this problem has been prominent. Wang Guilin walked in, followed by Zhang Huazhong, whom Xie Kai hadn't seen for a long time.

Director of the 363 workshop, Zheng Yucheng's son-in-law.

Zhang Huazhong looked a little haggard, looked at Xie Kai, and just smiled reluctantly.

"363 workshop, the problem is more serious than 359. It was my mistake and I shouldn't have done cronyism. Zheng Yucheng was the first to admit his mistake.

In order to improve the relationship with his daughter, he transferred Zhang Huazhong to the 363 workshop as the director.

"This is not your problem, nor is it Comrade Hua Zhong's problem. It's the people in the base...... "Wang Guilin shook his head, "Fortunately, it hasn't caused much impact now." ”

"If it's just bloated personnel, it's not serious, adjustment, reform, and it's solved. Xie Kai was afraid that Zheng Yucheng would kill his relatives in righteousness, and in the end, his daughter would not bear him even more.

"It's a leak. Zheng Yucheng's words were earth-shattering.

When the base is so tightly guarded and the secrecy system is extremely strict, the secret is actually leaked.

How can Xie Kai accept it?

"363 armored car modification plan?" he was a little nervous.

I hope it's just a 363 armored car modification plan, which has not been very important until now.

"359, avant-garde 2, even the red flag!" Wang Guilin's face was very serious, "especially the stable image fire control system and computer-aided system on the 359, the new tank gun, and the Chowbham composite armor model ......"

"How is it possible? Aren't they always emphasizing that this thing should be kept secret? They don't have much contact with the outside world, right?" Xie Kai was shocked.

If it's just a modification scheme, the problem is serious.

The fire control system, armor, tank guns, etc., are the core technologies of the Type 99 tank that is ready to be equipped in China.

"Workshop 359 and workshop 363 can be exposed to these. Wang Guilin reminded Xie Kai, "At the beginning, these two workshops were responsible for the modification plan and had an understanding of various technologies. Usually we don't pay too much attention to the two workshops, especially after the first order for the 359 tank was signed, we delegate more authority to this workshop......"

Liang Xiaolong had to report the progress to Xie Kai, and the 359 workshop was established for Xie Kai.

Externally, it is nominally a workshop, but in fact it is a design unit, and all the research and experimental work is only done here, and the opportunity to get in touch with various technologies must be much greater.

"The two workshops are united, how do they communicate with the outside world, and who is the other side?" Xie Kai asked all kinds of questions.

"On the American side. Now this matter is more tricky. The above is worried that it will affect the cooperation between the two sides......" Xie Jianguo spoke.

At this time, Xie Kai realized that his father was haggard, not only because of him, but also because there was a problem with the core department of the base.

"Project Jaguar is related to the NFV-1 Infantry Fighting Vehicle Project?" Xie Kai instantly realized that if he could get in touch, those two projects would be the ones that the two workshops could contact the most.
