Chapter 378: Questions about the suspension of tanks
"Xiao Lu, you can rest assured that you can leave other things to me!" Without waiting for Lu Jiadong to finish thinking about it, Xu Yuan took a sip of tea, and said with a calm face but a firm tone:
"Anyway, now that the work has been straightened out, I still have a little face in the communication with the headquarters, and the most important thing is the development of tanks, which is our top priority, and we can't solve this main contradiction, and everything else is free to talk about! As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and in this case, we have to use some different methods from the past!"
Seeing Xu Yuan patting his chest and stopping all the complicated affairs other than technology on himself, Lu Jiadong was a little moved and a little hesitant, after all, the internal affairs in such a complex project can be described as many abnormalities, and he and Xu Yuan both felt powerless to deal with it, and now Xu Yuan wants to take on such a heavy job by himself for the sake of research and development, Lu Jiadong can't accept it calmly no matter what.
Lu Jiadong's thoughts, how could he escape Xu Yuan's piercing eyes, and before Lu Jiadong could speak, he patted Lu Jiadong's shoulder and said:
Not to mention the major battles before the founding of the People's Republic of China, even when I fought a small hairpin mountain last year, I stayed up day and night for seven or eight days, and the whole person lost two laps, and now I can eat well during the day and sleep at night, which is not hard at all!"
"This root is different from leading troops to fight"
"Okay, it's settled!" Before Lu Jiadong finished speaking, Xu Yuan took over the conversation, and his words revealed the firmness of a battlefield general:
"As I said earlier, the key now is to develop the new tank with all our might, and nothing else should distract you, the chief designer in charge of technology!"
"That"
"Okay!" Lu Jiadong still wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xu Yuan. Then he said categorically: "I am the leader of the leading group for the development of new tanks, and administration and coordination are my responsibilities, and Xiao Lu, you should also obey the arrangement of my team leader!"
After speaking, without waiting for Lu Jiadong to reply, he picked up the phone on the desk, and then immediately ordered in an unquestionable tone: "Inform the research and development personnel of each subsystem to go to the warehouse on the east side of the Wanshan plant immediately after lunch? Yes, just like that, remember, no one is allowed to be absent."
Xu Yuan took the phone and told his orders in detail, although it sounded very blunt, and his face was even more serious, but in Lu Jiadong's eyes, an inexplicable sense of reverence arose spontaneously from the bottom of his heart
It was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and the warehouse on the east side of the Wanshan factory was still brightly lit, although it had been since October. Located in the southwest, the Wanshan factory is not as cold and cold as the north, but the slightest coolness at night can still make people feel the strong autumn mood, but the dozens of people sitting in front of a temporary blackboard in the warehouse don't seem to feel the cool breeze blowing in, all of them are engrossed in staring at the dense mathematical formulas and pattern symbols on the blackboard in front of them, and then carefully record.
In the large empty warehouse behind them, there were Chinese-made Type 59 medium tanks, Type 69 medium tanks, and British-made "Chieftain" MK-5 main battle tanks that had just been transferred from the headquarters, and they were lined up on a small platform next to the tanks. Dozens of lunch boxes are neatly placed together.
Some of them were empty, and some of them were shiny. And some can see the leftovers, but at this time, no one in the warehouse cares about these details, and everyone is like a world with a long drought, desperately absorbing the nutrients brought by technical knowledge.
However, this is not the case for everyone. For example, Zhao Chenggang, who is from the technical department of the South Yunnan Special Vehicle Factory on the left side of the third row, stopped writing for a while, stared at the few theories just recorded in the notebook, and twisted his two straight eyebrows slightly, Liu Xueyong, the head of the technical section of the South Yunnan Special Vehicle Factory, who was sitting next to him. Seeing that the youngest and most comprehensive technician in his factory looked at the notebook and was stunned, he couldn't help but gently push him a few times with his elbow:
"Xiao Zhao, what do you want, don't hurry up and write it down, the technical knowledge that Chief Master Lu told us in his busy schedule is a treasure at the bottom of the box, and your kid can come in handy in the future!"
Since lunch, all the members of the new tank development team in the Wanshan factory came to this warehouse to gather, although they are all there, but they can't help but complain in their hearts, after all, the development of new tanks has a time limit, and each team member is so busy that they can't wait to use one person as two people, racing against time to carry out the relevant design at hand, and time is simply not a waste for them.
However, it is precisely at the important stage that time should be cherished the most, as the leader of the new tank development team Xu Yuan's order, everyone must put down the work at hand and come to this empty warehouse for collective learning, which inevitably makes many people in the development team feel that it is simply a redundant move and a waste of time, even if the chief designer himself teaches.
But think about it, but no one expressed it openly, anyway, the current development team implements semi-military management, Xu Yuan's requirements are similar to military orders on the battlefield, even if he is unwilling, he has to accept it, at best, he can only complain and complain in his heart, and then look forward to the end of this superfluous collective learning as soon as possible.
To everyone's surprise, they originally thought that they were wasting time in learning, but in the face of the chief designer Lu Jiadong's simple language, incisive theories, and erudite and broad knowledge reserves, they gradually changed from disdain to serious listening, and then from careful listening to hunger and thirst.
In particular, Lu Jiadong's combination of Chinese and foreign tanks tells the overall idea of a set of tank research and development and related technical details, so that the participants in the study have a sense of enlightenment, and even a considerable number of people have solved the problems that have been plaguing them for many years, and Lu Jiadong also taught them.
I didn't expect that the original two-hour lecture time would be in the evening in the blink of an eye, and the people who originally thought it would be too much to do it would no longer have the previous complaints and impatience, but hoped that time could pass more slowly, so that Chief Lu could teach them more about the technical knowledge related to the development of tanks.
You must know that the people who can enter the tank development team are all leaders in the technology of various military factories and research institutes, although there is a lack of experience in the development of tanks, but in the field they are familiar with, they are also people who can afford to put it down, therefore, they respect technology, more respect for people with a high level of technology, and of course they also know whether the relevant technical knowledge is useful and clear.
Because of this, when they heard Lu Jiadong's technical knowledge, they admired and respected the young chief designer even more, and also understood that what Chief Lu said was the forefront of their efforts in various fields, otherwise Liu Xueyong, the technical section chief of Yunnan Special Vehicle Factory, would not have reminded Zhao Chenggang around him so much.
Zhao Chenggang is also very clear about this, and because of this, he still does not record as seriously as others, because the questions that flicker in his mind from time to time make him unable to settle down at all, Liu Xueyong next to him saw that Zhao Chenggang was still wandering and unmoved, so he frowned and reminded in a deep voice:
"Xiao Zhao, did you hear it, don't you hurry up and continue to write it down"
"No, that's not right!" Before Liu Xueyong finished speaking, Zhao Chenggang shook his head gently, Liu Xueyong couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, and then asked softly with some annoyance:
"What's wrong, what's wrong? Your skill level can still be compared to Chief Master Lu?"
"I can't compare with Chief Master Lu's skills, it's just that" Zhao Chenggang finally answered Liu Xueyong's words positively, but as he spoke, a pair of horizontal eyebrows twisted into a pimple:
"It's just that the tank suspension system that Chief Lu just mentioned, I always think it's too conservative, and it's better to think about it than the hydraulic suspension system we proposed!"
As he spoke, Zhao Chenggang took his notebook to Liu Xueyong, pointed to the tank hanging sketch he had just drawn with a pen, and continued:
"Just now Chief Lu also said that the hydraulic suspension has excellent performance in maneuvering and obstacle road, in this case, I think the suspension system of our new tank should also adhere to the hydraulic suspension, so that the tank's action ability and passability will be very good.
In the case of reducing bumps, it can also provide great help for the stability of the whole vehicle and the aiming of the gun between the moves, you see, this is a liquid-gas suspension system that I have re-improved according to the suspension system we designed before, the main component is to use gas, mixed oil and the piston in the middle to cushion the vibration between the tank's paths"
Zhao Chenggang was talking and drawing, detailing the new hanging method he thought of, and Liu Xueyong, who was sitting next to him, also listened carefully to Zhao Chenggang's explanation, and the more he listened, the more he felt that it was very novel, and unconsciously put down the notebook he was recording and discussed with Zhao Chenggang in a whisper, but at this moment, a familiar and calm voice suddenly came from beside him:
"What are you discussing?"
Hearing this, Liu Xueyong and Zhao Chenggang were all shocked, and they all followed the prestige, and then a handsome and calm and mature young face came into the eyes of the two, which made the two of them exclaim silently:
"Chief Lululu" (to be continued......)
