"I wondered, Chief Master Lu has so many big companies, and he doesn't need good technology, but he continues to carry out in-depth cooperation with the little-known Gage Xinda Company!"

In the evening, at the North ~~ Beijing Hotel, a black sedan stopped at the door steadily, Zhu Haifeng, who had just finished participating in the daytime negotiations, wore his neat suit as new, and got off the co-pilot seat of the car, but although he came here in a rare costume to participate in the joint celebration dinner with the United States to reach a comprehensive intention, Zhu Haifeng's serious face could not see a smile of joy, but sank like a piece of black charcoal.

As a matter of fact, since he started a new round of intent talks with the Gage Cinda Company of the United States, he has been very puzzled: Is General Electric's LM2500 gas turbine not good? Isn't the F-16 of the Lo Ma Company the most urgently needed equipment right now? Isn't the advanced command and control system of the Northrop Company exactly the multiplier of the national anti-missile air defense?

As the chief designer of the new tank, Lu Jiadong, who is also in charge of the negotiations, turned a blind eye to these top-level military equipment, and instead focused on diesel engines, transmission systems, high-precision electronic gyroscopes, data buses, processing and preparation processes of certain materials, as well as related processing equipment and CNC machine tools.

Not only did it not highlight the importance of this negotiation, but it also made people feel that these things that had been done with so much energy were simply in vain, because of this, on the way here, taking advantage of the opportunity to be alone with his teacher, Zhu Guangrong, who had just taken office as the executive deputy chief designer of the new tank, said the thoughts in his heart, even if he arrived at the destination, Zhu Haifeng got out of the car to help Zhu Guangrong open the car door. There is no intention to stop this topic either:

"Teacher, you said, is Chief Lu too conservative in this matter!"

Zhu Guangrong, who got out of the car, did not immediately answer Zhu Haifeng's question, but only glanced at his student meaningfully, Zhu Guangrong took the initiative to find Lu Jiadong a week ago and proposed to go to the Wanshan Factory to participate in the development of a new tank. In addition to the ideas I already had in my heart, I also have a sense of gratitude to Lu Jiadong for embracing the North Plant, and of course, the temporary production shutdown of the North Plant, which is being upgraded, is also an important reason.

Therefore, Zhu Guangrong proposed that a part of the skilled workers of the North Plant be temporarily transferred to the leading group for new tanks, so as to use the development and production of new tanks to retain a number of skilled workers and technical backbones, so as to leave valuable seeds for the revival of the North Plant after the completion of upgrading and transformation in the future.

Naturally, his proposal was universally supported by the leaders in charge of the military industrial system at all levels, and Lu Jiadong was even more happy to see it come to fruition. Therefore, with some efforts, Zhu Guangrong's transfer and appointment were officially announced a few days ago, and he was appointed deputy head of the leading group for new tanks and concurrently executive deputy chief designer, mainly focusing on the comprehensive research and development of new tanks.

It's just that Zhu Guangrong, the original proposer of this plan, did not follow the large army to the south, but continued to stay in Bei~~~ Beijing to participate in the final negotiations with the American Gage Cinda Company. After all, there are a lot of supporting systems and equipment related to the development of new tanks, so he, the actual helmsman of the development of new tanks, has to participate in them.

Of course, at the beginning. He also had objections to Lu Jiadong's continued deepening of cooperation with Gage Cinda Company, after all, Gage Cinda Company almost killed the North Factory, so in his eyes, Gage Cinda Company was an inferior company that had treacherous and no credibility at all, and it was not worth continuing to cooperate at all.

However, when Zhu Guangrong saw the conditions proposed by Lu Jiadong and the final text of the intent agreement, the doubts and worries in his heart were not only swept away. And secretly gave Lu Jiadong a thumbs up in his heart, and felt that the hard work he had paid for these days was not in vain

"Teacher, I think so anyway!" Zhu Haifeng saw that Zhu Guangrong didn't answer, and thought that he didn't make what he said clearly, so he followed behind Zhu Guangrong. While walking towards the lobby of the north~~ Jing Hotel, he continued:

"What Chief Lu has come up with is the core parameters of the latest T-80 silicon carbide armor structure of the Soviet Union, the supreme core secret of the Soviet armored forces, something that the United States has not mastered for so many years, and it cannot be measured with money, otherwise how could those military-industrial complexes in the United States be so eager to do so, and it can be seen from the rich exchange conditions they came up with, but Chief Lu turned a blind eye to this, so I think Chief Lu is he"

"What's wrong with him?" Without waiting for Zhu Haifeng to finish speaking, Zhu Guangrong glanced at his student obliquely, then sat down on the sofa in a semi-enclosed small hall next to the hall, took the tea handed by the waiter, took two sips to moisten his throat, and then spoke again:

"I think Xiao Lu is very smart!"

"I don't deny that Master Lu is very smart, I mean to say well, wait for the teacher, you mean"

Zhu Haifeng saw that Zhu Guangrong finally spoke, first he was excited, and hurriedly sat down next to the teacher, just wanted to continue the topic just now, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then a pair of eyes full of doubts suddenly opened like a light bulb, and looked at Zhu Guangrong beside him incredulously, and said with a surprised tone:

"Teacher, how do you say that Master Lu is very clever?"

Zhu Guangrong looked at Zhu Haifeng with a surprised face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in fact, he admired Zhu Haifeng as a student, whether it was in academic research or in the excavation of technology, Zhu Haifeng was all serious, rigorous and realistic, but because of this, Zhu Haifeng always seemed to live in his own technical world, and he was a little biased between colleagues, in the relationship with superiors and subordinates, and even in the angle and depth of looking at problems.

At this moment, the matter of in-depth cooperation with Gage Cinda is a clear example, several broad-minded senior leaders were not surprised to see the final agreement, but some young people or radical development parties did not understand Lu Jiadong's choice, and even said behind his back that Lu Jiadong was too conservative, presumably Zhu Haifeng was also affected by these remarks.

And that's exactly what happened. To put it bluntly, Zhu Haifeng is a typical technology nerd, with all the attributes of a technology nerd, and a surging heart is indispensable, and because of this, when he heard the discussion of in-depth cooperation with Gage Cinda Company, he couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart. Fortunately, all this has been seen by Zhu Guangrong, who has been through the wind and rain for a long time, so he stretched out his hand and patted Zhu Haifeng's shoulder:

"Xiao Zhu, you have been working in the military industry for so long, so let me ask you, what is the most important thing in the military industry?"

"This" Zhu Guangrong's question is too big, Zhu Haifeng can't answer it at all, and Zhu Guangrong looked at Zhu Haifeng's puzzled face, and didn't embarrass his student anymore. Raising his hand and holding up two fingers in front of Zhu Haifeng, with a kind smile, he continued:

"Let me see that it's just two words, foundation!" said, Zhu Guangrong put his two fingers together and pointed to the ground under his feet: "The reason why the North ~~~ Beijing Hotel can build such a tall building is that the key is the foundation, so you can see the glamorous buildings." But who can see the foundation?"

"I" Zhu Haifeng wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them stiffly. Listening to Zhu Guangrong's words, he seemed to understand something, but he didn't understand anything, under the interweaving, the pair of heavy eyebrows wrinkled and loosened from time to time, and Zhu Guangrong withdrew his hand with a warm smile. Continuing with what he had just said, he continued:

"The same is true of the military industrial system, the finished products of weapons and equipment look indeed mighty and majestic, but the foundation of them cannot be seen, whether it is General Electric's LM2500 gas turbine or the F-16 of the Loma company. The things they provide are not bad, nor are they not bad-looking, but they are all finished products, and we are really comfortable and accomplished at the beginning, but after a few years, what will we do after more than ten years?

"So, what Chief Master Lu wants is the foundation?"

"It's a bit inappropriate to say that it is the foundation, let me see, it is all the pillars that support the future of China's military industry, it is not an exaggeration to say that the wings of China's military industry development in the future will be installed by Xiao Lu himself through this cooperation agreement with Gage Xinda Company!"

"Such a high evaluation!" Zhu Haifeng never expected his teacher to give such a high evaluation, and he was even more confused when he was surprised, while Zhu Guangrong explained it to his students in detail:

"Let's take the XHM-1500 transmission system on the most inconspicuous MBT-70 tank, this transmission system is more than an order of magnitude more advanced than the rough transmission device of the Soviet Union, this device is characterized by the ability to make the transmission ratio stepless change, with excellent power, the steering system is hydraulic steering, belongs to the dual-flow integrated transmission.

Although this device is very simple in theory, and it is not difficult to create a theoretical sample in the laboratory, it is not easy to produce a transmission device that meets military standards on a large scale, and the core key components are also high-power hydraulic components, ball plug pumps and ball plug motors are an insurmountable obstacle.

You must know that according to military standards, the maximum power that can be transferred by each pump is 370 kilowatts, the displacement reaches 344 ml \ revolution, and the number of revolutions range is 2200 ~ 3000 rpm.

"This" Zhu Haifeng hesitated at first, and finally shook his head helplessly, although he is a technical nerd, the angle of looking at the problem in some things may be a little biased, but once it comes to specific technology, he can see better than anyone else, Zhu Guangrong said that the relevant data of the plug pump is extremely harsh, and the integration of materials, precision machining, and equipment requires extremely high standards to complete, not to mention the current China, even the Soviet Union, which is several times higher than the technology, can not process such a harsh plug pump

"However, Xiao Lu has introduced the entire set of processing technology and material preparation technology through the agreement with Gage Xinda Company, and only through this introduction, the domestic piston pump, gear fine processing, and hydraulic integrated system will complete a leapfrog upgrade, so as to drive the follow-up of metallurgy, chemical industry, materials, automobile manufacturing, and precision machining related industries, so as to drive the commission of the entire military manufacturing field!"

"It turns out that it turns out" Zhu Haifeng was shocked when he heard Zhu Guangrong's words, he never expected that Lu Jiadong was not engaged in any conservatism, but in the next huge chess game of industrial upgrading, and because of this, Zhu Haifeng, who learned the truth, was a little speechless, but Zhu Guangrong, who was sitting next to him, did not stop the rhythm of speaking:

"And this is just a transmission system, MB870Ka-500 diesel engine overall manufacturing technology and technology introduction will drive how much industry development? The purchase of patents for electronic gyroscopes, what kind of development can the field of electronic information have? The introduction of high-precision optical instrument processing technology, what kind of progress will we have? There are also a large number of supporting equipment and technical drawings

All in all, this time we want to thoroughly eat all the technology on the MBT-70 tank, and the price we pay is only the main armor structure parameters of the T-80 tank, but the benefits we can get are something that even an old man like me dare not think of.

"I really didn't expect that Chief Master Lu would have such a far-reaching vision, if this is the case, Chief Master Lu is indeed very clever!"

"That's true!" Zhu Guangrong nodded: "Although the manufacturing equipment and production process are only a few prototypes, and they can't build a production line, but as long as we put our minds together, we can completely turn these things into our own, Xiao Lu has already laid this foundation, let's stand on such a high foundation, if we can't afford to build a tall building, Xiao Zhu, tell me yourself, do you still have a face?"

"No face!" Zhu Haifeng shook his head and replied categorically, while Zhu Guangrong smiled with satisfaction: "Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain, so it seems that Xiao Lu is the real master of the military industry."

"Zhu Lao, the banquet has begun, Master Lu invites you to come over with you!" Before Zhu Guangrong finished speaking, Hu Qinghua trotted all the way to Zhu Guangrong, Zhu Guangrong nodded, and stood up:

"Let's go, have a good drink with the Americans this time!"

Zhu Haifeng also stood up, his originally puzzled face finally flashed with the joy he should have when he went to the banquet, and his depressed eyes were filled with a strong sense of admiration, and in the center of this circle of admiration was the familiar and young figure reflected in the middle of the pupils - Lu Jiadong! )
