"Director Niu, did you eat garlic this morning?" Qin Zhenhua asked.

When he asked, Niu Shilong was grinning, and suddenly covered his mouth, that's right, I ate a few cloves of garlic in the morning, so what? I usually love to eat.

However, the two people around Qin Zhenhua seem to be very intellectuals, and they should be experts from the capital, at this time, especially the woman, although she didn't cover her nose, she had already made a breathing appearance, obviously his tone was too heavy.

This is not only a problem of eating garlic, there must also be a problem of not liking to brush his teeth, a mouthful of big yellow teeth, exuding a strange smell, so Niu Shilong suddenly closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Wang Erzhu, who was following behind Qin Zhenhua, couldn't help but feel funny, this Niu Shilong was clearly here to find fault, but as a result, he left in such a gloomy way.

When you walk into the venue and sit down, you can also see that Niu Shilong has put out the strongest lineup, and Zhang Baolin, a famous expert I met last time, is also among them.

"Today, by our Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and the Ministry of the Fifth Machinery jointly convened this meeting, the topic of the meeting, we also know, is to discuss the development of the second generation of main battle tanks, we in the past, put forward the 122 tank, but the technical force at that time was not enough, and now, we have gone through these years of development, has made great progress, of course, we must also abandon the previous high and ambitious thinking, based on our actual level, we re-put forward the development goals of the new second-generation main battle tank, And the tactical and technical indicators are demonstrated. ”

After all, the Soviet Union in the north is still the biggest threat, and they are in the tank force, which has put heavy pressure on the country, and the country must also work hard to create advanced tanks that can resist Soviet tanks.

This is also a big event for the defense industry recently. It was April 1978, so this meeting was later called the 784 Conference, which was a major event in the development of the tank industry.

"Last year, we went to the West for an inspection, which greatly broadened our horizons." Then spoke, is the Fifth Machine Department of Minister Zhu, he said earnestly: "We see the huge gap with Western tanks, but also strengthen our determination to develop modern tanks, especially, last year's inspection, but also let us have practical gains, first of all, is the Western standard 105 mm tank gun, we have completed the initial tank, officially ready to be introduced, this tank gun, for us to have a great significance, not only to transform our old tank, the above technology, It can also be used to build our new tank gun. ”

With this harvest, in the research and development of new tanks, the firepower is already in reserve, you can use the introduced 105 mm tank gun, or you can wait for your own advanced tank gun, and protection has always been your strength, so the focus of the next discussion is on the engine.

"First of all, ask our Coal Province Diesel Engine Plant to talk about their tank engine program." Finally hearing this [Zhu Bajie] step, Niu Shilong was extremely excited, he picked up a thick stack of speeches, and began to read them.

"Distinguished leaders, colleagues, good morning, I am Niu Shilong, the director of the Coal Province Diesel Engine Factory, this is the first time to come to this important meeting, at this time, my mood is particularly excited..."

This is the first time he has shown his face at this level of meeting, in the past, only the chief director and the director in charge of scientific research of a machine factory can participate, he, who is in charge of personnel, has never been here, today, can be a good introduction.

There are many earth-shaking changes that have taken place in the diesel engine factory in less than a year in less than a year, and he is well prepared.

"Cattle Factory." Hearing him say this, Minister Zhu interrupted his words: "Please pick up the important ones, your tank diesel engine research plan, your work report, can be handed in separately later." ”

Suddenly, Niu Shilong's face was flushed, and Qin Zhenhua below covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing on such an occasion.

Niu Shilong is planning to give a long speech, right? It's a pity that he didn't use his mind to think about it, can he introduce his glorious deeds on this occasion?

Isn't this a waste of time?

Speaking of introducing diesel engines, does Niu Shilong dare? He doesn't understand technology, that's famous, if he talks about their diesel engines here, even if it's from the script, he may make mistakes, if his superiors ask him a few words, he will definitely be asked, and then, it's up to him to see what he does.

However, Niu Shilong is also self-aware, Minister Zhu said this, so he could only quickly flip his speech, and then, in an uproar, to the last page: "Now, please ask Zhang Baolin, the technical deputy director of our factory, to introduce to you the research and development of our factory." ”

Niu Shilong knew that he had a few pounds and a few taels, and he also knew that if he wanted to make a career in the coal provincial diesel engine factory, he couldn't do without the support of technical personnel, so after he went, Zhang Baolin was promoted to deputy factory director.

"Hello everyone." Zhang Baolin stood up and explained in front of a group of leaders: "Over the years, we have been committed to the improvement of the power of the existing tank, and now, we have completed the development of a 537 kilowatt turbocharged diesel engine, which can meet the use of our 35-ton tank, however, in order to further meet the power requirements of heavier tanks, we decided to redesign the fuel injection pump, body and crank connecting rod mechanism on the basis of absorbing the research and development of this diesel engine. It is used to enhance the power and strive to make it more than 700 kilowatts. ”

The biggest feature of this program is that it is fast, because everything is ready-made, as long as the project can be passed, they can come up with a prototype within a year, put it on the bench and start testing.

Everyone listened carefully to his explanation, because the same 12150L engine was used as the basis, so this engine was temporarily named X150 engine.

Zhu Lao sat in the front row and kept nodding, yes, this plan sounds more in line with reality.

"This is our first plan, the second plan, is to map and copy the diesel engine imported from Germany, codenamed 8V165 project." Zhang Baolin continued to introduce the second plan, this time abroad, which broadened his horizons, and also introduced the civilian version of the same series of Leopard-2 tank diesel engines.

This civilian version of the diesel engine can produce a thousand horsepower, and if the performance is improved on the basis of their own technology, it is completely possible to achieve their own advanced tank power needs.

"Of course, this plan requires the cooperation of our engine department, after all, we can only devote our energy to one project." Zhang Baolin finally said.
