"Jiadong, do you think this Zhu Haifeng can do it?" Seeing Zhu Haifeng's crazy appearance, Wang Chuanchen, who was sitting next to Qiao Junfeng, frowned twice, and asked Lu Jiadong beside him worriedly:

"Can such a crazy person settle down to do research?"

"Please rest assured that the leaders and leaders!" Without waiting for Lu Jiadong to answer, Guo Zhipeng, the director of the Xiangnan Special Steel Plant who was sitting opposite, saw that the opposite side had doubts, so he quickly explained with a smile:

"Don't look at Mr. Zhu's maverick, but when he starts researching, he really follows the devil, he doesn't eat, drink, and sleepless, which is commonplace, and this has also made Zhu Haifeng's nickname of 'steel idiot', how do you say that?

When Guo Zhipeng was stuck, the ** sitting next to him reminded him in a whisper: "If you don't go crazy, you won't survive!"

It is precisely because of Zhu Haifeng and Zhu that our factory has exceeded the production tasks assigned by the superior in the development and manufacture of armored steel and marine steel, and has been advanced by the provincial and municipal judges for many years!"

As he spoke, Guo Zhipeng paused for a moment, then looked at Lu Jiadong, Wang Chuanchen and other members of the artillery development team opposite again, and then continued with a confident smile:

"So rest assured, our Shonan Special Steel Plant will definitely complete the development task of the new cannon steel with quality and quantity!"

As the director of Xiangnan Special Steel Plant, Guo Zhipeng's words are already on behalf of Xiangnan Special Steel Plant, so it is inconvenient for Qiao Junfeng, who was originally questioning, to say anything, and Wang Chuanchen, who was close to Lu Jiadong, couldn't help but nod after listening to Guo Zhipeng's words, and then turned his head to Lu Jiadong and asked:

"Xiao Lu, what do you think?"

"I think you can give it a try!" Although Zhu Haifeng is a little crazy, his solid technical foundation and rich experience have been revealed in the words just now, and the hardware facilities and technical capabilities of the Hunan Special Steel Plant also meet the requirements for the development and production of new gun steel. Therefore, Lu Jiadong finally agreed to put the development of new cannon steel in the Hunan Special Steel Plant.

Lu Jiadong's words were not loud, but the people present heard them really well, especially Guo Zhipeng, who was sitting opposite Lu Jiadong, who could be said to hear it word for word. melted in the heart, which also made the big stone that had been hanging in my heart for a long time fall to the ground at this moment, and his face was filled with a smile of joy, and then he couldn't help patting his chest and assuring Lu Jiadong and Wang Chuanchen:

"Please rest assured that Chief Wang and Chief Master Lu will guarantee that we at the Hunan Special Steel Plant will complete the task! Just like Chief Craftsman Zhu said, I will also throw Guo Zhipeng into the furnace to refine!"

"We believe that Shonan Special Steel Mill can afford this responsibility!" Lu Jiadong nodded, and then continued with an indifferent smile:

"As for the electroslag remelting furnace, because it is an important production and manufacturing equipment, it needs to be reported and approved to the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and the Equipment Department of the General Staff before it can be transferred to your Xiangnan factory, so it may not be too fast in time, but we will try our best to fight for it!"

As soon as Lu Jiadong's words fell, Guo Zhipeng responded without hesitation: "I understand this, if you need our Xiangnan factory to do Chief Lu, just say that our Xiangnan factory will definitely go all out!"

In this way, Lu Jiadong and others discussed some details and matters to be paid attention to in the development and related communication methods with Xiangnan Special Steel Plant. Under the leadership of Guo Zhipeng, he visited the honor room of Xiangnan Special Steel Plant and two special steel production workshops, especially in the process preparation room of the first special steel production workshop.

Soon Lu Jiadong and others ended the inspection of the Hunan Special Steel Plant, but Lu Jiadong and others did not immediately return to the Wanshan Plant in Sanlin, Guixi, but went to other related joint manufacturers for guidance and inspection, located in Yunnan Province Yunnan Special Vehicle Factory, which is a joint development and production unit of the new artillery auxiliary power system.

Like the Hunan Special Steel Plant, the Yunnan Special Vehicle Factory treated Lu Jiadong and Wang Chuanchen and his party. It is also very important, the factory director Cai Chenwei led the leadership team of the entire Yunnan Special Vehicle Factory to welcome Lu Jiadong and other people at the gate of the factory, of course, Lu Jiadong is more concerned about the development of the artillery auxiliary power system.

Because in the design of the 52 times caliber 155mm gun, the auxiliary power system can give the gun a certain self-walking ability. It can quickly transfer the battlefield and improve survivability; at the same time, it can also realize the vehicle-gun tandem drive in the process of car traction to improve mobility; and finally it can rely on the engine on the auxiliary power system to drive the semi-automatic gun reloading system, so as to increase the rate of fire of the gun and the density of fire strikes!

Of course, in order to save time and cost, the auxiliary power system of the new artillery does not use a large number of new technologies and new processes like the cannon steel, but uses many existing mature technologies. For example, in terms of engine, the application of the domestic more mature diesel engine instead of the more advanced technology but the reliability of the gasoline engine, in the transmission also borrowed a lot of from the more mature transmission mechanism of the liberation truck, it is relying on mature technology, Yunnan special vehicle factory in the transmission system research and development work, progress is going very smoothly, take the director Cai Chenwei said:

"It is estimated that it is very difficult to build a car with a 750 kilowatt engine, but it is not a problem to develop an auxiliary power vehicle with 75 kilowatt power to ensure basic mobility!"

In fact, it is not only the Yunnan Special Vehicle Factory, the Guinan Precision Machinery Factory, which is responsible for the development of ammunition for 52 times caliber 155mm artillery, is also progressing smoothly, because Yang Limin has completed the aerodynamic calculation of the jujube nuclear grenade proposed by Lu Jiadong before leaving the Wanshan Factory.

Accordingly, Lu Jiadong's initial plan was perfected, and a centering device for flight control and stability was installed, so the ammunition development team headed by Hu Qinghua advanced very quickly with the cooperation of the Guinan Plant.

Not only that, with its own strong technical reserves, excellent and skilled workers, and with the support of a large number of high-precision machine tools, Guinan Factory quickly overcame the manufacturing process of the core component of the jujube nuclear grenade, which is also the most difficult to process, which made the last barrier wall in the production and manufacturing of ammunition for the new 52 times caliber 155mm howitzer was broken, and also made the real supporting ammunition subsystem enter the stage of inspection and actual testing before the entire artillery project!

At the same time, the Wanshan Plant, which is responsible for the processing and overall assembly of artillery barrels, has also completed the installation and commissioning of new equipment, and the proficiency and mastery of the new equipment among the workers in the factory have also reached a new level.

The Wanshan Plant began to repair and maintain the old Type 65 152mm and Type 54 122mm guns in a planned manner, and successfully used mechanical equipment such as self-tightening equipment, large bedroom boring machine tools, large artillery wire drawing machines, and new chrome plating equipment in the inner hall.

Two 152mm barrels were processed, and two of the guns whose barrels have been seriously aged were replaced, and the two guns with new barrels were tested to reach the level of new guns in various indicators.

It can be said that the joint research and development of various factories has shown extremely strong advantages, and each subsystem is an advantageous project that cooperates with the research and development plants, and they have incomparable advantages in terms of production experience and research and development personnel, and with the assistance and guidance of relevant experts from various research institutes, the research and development progress of each factory has greatly exceeded the specified expectations, which makes Wang Chuanchen, who is the head of the artillery leading group, unable to help but be amazed, and he called for the completion of the development of the new artillery to combine Lu Jiadong's research institute with the supporting factories. The mode of parallel promotion of research and development has been promoted in the field of military scientific research and manufacturing!

However, although this model is good, it has quite a hidden worry, that is, the parts produced by each factory should match each other, for this point, Lu Jiadong has also made great efforts, requiring all factories to strictly implement the "Military Quality Certification Management System" he founded At the same time, actively promote the standardization of the military industry, and make strict regulations on the number of threads on the various parts of the artillery from the body tube to the number of threads on a screw.

At the same time, in order to implement the quality system and military standardization, at the suggestion of Lu Jiadong, Wang Chuanchen set up a product quality inspection team headed by Lu Weijun, a military representative, to regularly inspect each factory.

Of course, as the chief designer of the new artillery, Lu Jiadong has always played a pivotal role in it, in order to promote the development of artillery more quickly, for several months in a row, Lu Jiadong has been like a spinning top that can not be stopped, he not only has to control the overall direction of the new artillery, but also has to go back and forth between the factories, solve the problems encountered and various emergencies encountered in the development on the spot, and sometimes encounter new problems even in the middle of the night to arrange solutions overnight under the lights.

In this way, Wanshan Factory used the new gun steel provided by Xiangnan Special Steel Plant to process and manufacture the first 52 times caliber 155mm sample gun, at this time, this sample gun without gun carriage is quietly placed on the test site of the equipment test brigade of the G Military Region, ready to accept the endurance test of the next day, which is like the mid-term test of the new artillery, and Lu Jiadong, who is in the barracks of the G Equipment Test Brigade ready for tomorrow's reference, can't help but feel a little apprehensive:

"The test is tomorrow, I hope I can pass!"

Looking at the vast starry sky outside the window, Lu Jiadong, whose eyes were already a little sunken, quietly spat out the light smoke, but his thoughts couldn't stop for a long time (to be continued). )
