Chapter 185, the large-scale die forging machine succeeded

Li Ya and Shu Yue don't pay much attention to the car factory because the car factory is a tripartite joint venture. At the beginning of the construction of the factory, because private individuals could not build automobile factories, they finally had to join forces with state-owned assets.

When the automobile factory was in full swing, Li Ya was here at the large aircraft research factory. He came here because he happened to receive a call from Cheng Lao, saying that the various parts of the large-scale die forging machine had already been prepared and were about to be assembled and tested, and asked him if he wanted to come over to see the test.

He knew Li Ya's lazy habits, and asked Li Ya to come over as soon as he started the installation, Li Ya would definitely not be able to wait long, so he simply called Li Ya when it was almost assembled.

"After investing so much time and so much money, of course you have to come and see it at this time, otherwise it will not be in vain. Li Ya said with a smile. From the decision to build large-scale forging equipment, to Beijing for help, to bring in Soviet experts, to now, six years have passed, whether it is good or bad, Li Ya has to witness it personally.

When they arrived at the installation site, many people were busy, and Cheng Lao knew that Li Ya didn't understand anything, so he explained to Li Ya. From the size of the die forging machine, how many parts there are, and how much the largest part weighs, it is very clear.

"Cheng Lao, you don't seem to be engaged in forging equipment, how can you be so clear?" Li Ya asked in surprise. He is an old man who designs airplanes, and he knows the forging press so well, he can't help but surprise Li Ya.

"This thing is one of the few important equipment we lacked back then, for so many years I have thought about hoping to have such a big guy, I know a lot, and I have often come to see it in recent years, and they have explained a lot to me, how can I not know?" Cheng Lao explained with a smile, and then sighed, "If we had this equipment back then, maybe we would have succeeded a long time ago." "The large aircraft project, he has devoted a lifetime of hard work, envy to get off the horse, is the pain in his heart. Therefore, Li Yayi said that he wanted to continue the project, and he ignored his mistakes and pulled the technician with the same mind over.

"Let the past pass, everything still has to look forward. Li Ya said, "Isn't it about to be assembled now? In the future, you can use it as you want, and make up for what you lost." ”

"Hey, why are you all so nervous?" After approaching, Li Ya saw that the technicians gathered together had tense faces one by one, and their hands were clenched and loosened irregularly, and he smiled.

"It's Mr. Li. Yu Lao, the chief engineer of the forging press, saw that it was Li Ya and said, "Although I, an old man, have participated in the construction of a die forging machine, it is only 30,000 tons." But this one is different, half of the pressure is added, and all aspects have to start anew. It's the last moment, it's good or bad, it's up to you, how can you not be nervous!"

"You're so nervous. Li Ya smiled, "I'm not nervous about the money, what are you always nervous about? If you fail, you fail, what a big deal." At this age, if there is any accident, then Li Ya will not die of guilt, he hurriedly comforted.

"You said it lightly, if you fail, so much money will be wasted. Yu Lao smiled bitterly. How much money has been invested, as the chief engineer, he has a number in his heart. Although Li Ya said it easily, it was a lot of money after all.

"Who says that if you fail, your money will be wasted? Even if you fail, we have developed a lot of technology, isn't it? It's easier to start over. Cheng Lao took over and said, "Besides, from the whole to the parts, you have all argued one by one, what else is there to worry about at this time? At this time, you should be happy, you see the workers and masters who are working, they are not worried at all, and they are proud to be able to participate in the installation of this big guy!"

"Okay. Don't worry about the money, you are also worried about using it in a hurry, what else am I worried about!" Yu Lao looked at the sweaty workers and masters, and also put down the nervousness and worry in his heart.

The waiting time was boring, and Li Ya chatted with the technicians to pass the time, especially those Soviet experts, and had a good chat with them.

After the installation was completed, Yu Lao ordered: "Test run!"

Li Ya saw a large piece of iron, which turned red under the squeezing of the forging press, like kneading plasticine.

Soon forged and formed, it was hoisted to the side. There was thunderous applause, accompanied by many howls of excitement.

Li Ya said with a smile: "Knead the dough with this, and the steamed buns made will definitely be chewy!"

"You kid!" Cheng Lao couldn't help but laugh.

"When you're free, find some good materials for me to process a sword. Li Ya said, "The sword forged by the forging equipment we made is collectible." ”

That's pretty much it. Cheng Lao said, "When I have time, I will make you a sword." ”

"My old man can be blinded now!" The test was successful, and Yu Lao was very happy.

Originally, it was planned to design and build a 45,000-ton die forging machine, but the addition of Soviet experts in the middle of the process directly rose to the design and construction of a 60,000-ton die forging machine, and now it has finally succeeded in his hands, which is the best reward for him who has been engaged in forging equipment for half his life. Although most of the technology uses the original technology of the Soviet Union, there are many new changes and breakthroughs.

"That's where it is. Li Ya said with a smile, "We will build a larger die forging machine in the future, 75,000 tons, or even 80,000 tons or 100,000 tons of die forging machines. ”

Although Li Ya's description was pale, Yu Lao grasped the key: a larger die forging machine! smiled happily: "Although I am old and useless, I can also do chores." If you want to build a bigger die forging machine, you can notify me. "After working on a die forging machine for half his life, how can he easily put it down.

"Who can let you do chores all the time!" Li Ya said with a smile, "It is said that there is an old man in the family, and there is a treasure." You are experienced and experienced, and you are also down-to-earth when you study design. ”

"Did your forging machine succeed?" the director asked. Yu Lao, as the technician who came to support the team leader, must report to the director of the major equipment and office after the die forging machine is successful.

"It's a success. Yu Lao said, "In the past few years, our research progress has been slow, but since Boss Li invited a group of experts from the Soviet Union, our progress has been greatly accelerated." From the design concept to the materials used, they have ready-made techniques, and we just need to add a little to them. ”

"I didn't expect him to do it!" the director sighed. At the beginning, I agreed to help Li Ya transfer technicians, because I didn't need them to pay for it, even if it failed, I could still form some technology, right? Who knew that Li Ya actually brought experts from the Soviet Union and made the project a success.

"Have you sorted out the technical data?" asked the director after the sigh. The technical information formed by the construction of a large-scale die forging machine, they have long made it clear that they want to share.

"It's done. Yu Lao said, "As long as you get the information, you can build it yourself." ”

"Elder Yu, thank you for your contribution to the country. The director said happily. It doesn't matter how the technology came about, as long as it is there.

"Just find time for someone to pick it up. Yu Lao said. At this time, he was a little unhappy, Li Ya invested so much money, and tried his best to bring back Soviet experts from the Soviet Union, and now that the technology has been formed, he doesn't mention Li Ya, how can he be like this? Although Li Ya didn't do this for a word of praise, he didn't mention it at all, as if what others did was right, which would make people feel chilling.

"The large-scale die forging machine has succeeded? "The importance of large-scale forging equipment, of course, they know. It is because of the lack of large-scale forging equipment in China, many things can not be made, such as large aircraft, although cooperating with McDonnell Douglas, but can only provide some parts, key components are still imported from McDonnell Douglas, called cooperation, in fact, it is just an assembly of aircraft.

"How much pressure is the equipment?"

"Sixty thousand tons. The director replied.

"60,000 tons, impossible, right?" said a middle-aged and elderly man wearing glasses, "and the 30,000 tons of people in those years also experienced countless difficulties. Although technology has evolved over such a long time, it is not easy to double the pressure. He knew something about forging presses, and he didn't believe that a local company could build a forging press with such a high pressure so quickly.

"They brought in a group of specialists from the Soviet Union, who were involved in the construction of forging presses with the same high pressure. The director explained.

Then the director explained in detail, mentioning Li Ya and the Large Aircraft Research Center, and the old man sitting in the middle said with a smile: "It turned out to be this kid! Everyone else knows that the old man has worked in Shanghai, and it seems that he is very familiar with Li Ya, and when he hears the title, he knows that the old man likes Li Ya very much and treats Li Ya as a nephew.

"When you go to get the information, by the way, help me bring a message to Li Ya. The old man said to the director, "He did a good job, and I thank him." All along, the lazy boy he knew, what he did made his old man reluctant to scold.

The director personally led a team to get information, and specifically found Li Ya to convey the old man's words. Li Ya smiled: "Compared to his old man, I am just a speck of dust. I just did what I could, but I couldn't afford to be thanked by his old man. ”

After the director met the old man, he investigated Li Ya, and only then did he know that Li Ya, who was like a young hairy boy, had already made a lot of contributions to the country, no wonder the old man looked down on Li Ya.

After the materials were shipped back, after reading the introduction of the die forging machine, an old man sighed: "Although the pressure is high and enough to use, the construction cost is also very large!"

"Although the cost is large, but the construction is necessary, we can't always hold the backward guns to defend the country. Besides, the investment in research has been spared. Another old man said. Over the past few years, the United States has frequently created friction in the South China Sea, and has had to make repeated concessions because of its weak national strength and backward weaponry.

"Yes, let's get one out and use it first. "In addition to solving some weapons and equipment problems, it can also play a significant role in the development of civilian technology and economic construction.

"Private enterprises can also share worries for the country and contribute to the country. An old man said.
