The Soviets were still very efficient in their investigation, and it only took a few days to find out the situation.

Holding the investigation report he had just obtained, Ustinov could be described as iron-faced.

China has mastered a fairly advanced manufacturing process that can increase the pass rate of jet engine turbine blades by 54 percent and the integrity rate by 62 percent.

That is the conclusion of the report.

Although the data is not necessarily very accurate, even a 10% improvement is extremely terrifying.

Imagine a 10% increase in the pass and integrity rate of the turbine blades on a jet engine, which is equivalent to a 5% increase in the jet engine in the same amount of time.

Don't underestimate this 5% production, you must know that this is related to the direct production of combat aircraft.

Especially in large-scale wars, every 1% increase in production capacity means endless victories on the battlefield, which is a valuable experience gained by the Soviet Union in the Great Patriotic War with the lives of tens of millions of people.

What's more, the process created by China can not only increase by 10%, but more than 50%, which can no longer be described as horror, but incredibly terrifying.

As one of the main leaders in charge of the rear military production during the Soviet-German war, Ustinov understood better than anyone the macro significance of this set of values for the Soviet military industry.

Especially now that the Cold War with the United States has officially begun, it needs huge military industrial strength to support the status of the Soviet superpower.

"The embarrassment of the Berlin crisis cannot be repeated!"

Recalling the helplessness of the Soviet blockade of Berlin last year, Ustinov subconsciously clenched his fists, immediately walked to the desk, and grabbed the phone on it: "Arrange it immediately, I want to meet with the head of 102!" ”

……

"What? Want to meet me? ”

At the same time, the 102nd chief, who was sitting in the office of the chief of armaments, was surprised for a while after listening to the report of the confidential secretary, and then sneered: "Why did you go there a few days ago? It's late! ”

"I said, old man, what do you mean by that? Not ready to talk? ”

Hearing this, the chief of armaments was also at a loss, he was counting on the 102 chief to be able to take down the Soviets this time, so that the machinery and equipment reported by several key factories could be solved at one time, and it was not in vain that he deliberately "leaked secrets", otherwise, with his consistent vigorous and resolute style, how could the Soviets find out the processing technology of turbine blades?

Which Cheng thought that the head of 102 came directly with a sentence of "it's late", and he was ready to cut off this matter, which made the chief of armaments embarrassed, and hurriedly stopped: "I can tell you, you can't break it, not only have to talk, but also have to talk about it, I started a few factories are waiting for you to bring the rice back to the pot, I'm not alarmist, with the current speed of development of science and technology, such a good thing is really after a village without this store!" ”

"After a village, there is no such shop? I think you've been spoiled by that kid. The 102 chief scoffed: "I wondered, how is such a good craftsmanship not good, you have to take it out and change it, just change it, you have to put the Soviets in the pit to death, this young man has a bad stomach, you say that if you are old, it will be hated." ”

"Anyway, if you don't hate us, as for those Soviets, they can be as ruthless as they like!" The chief of armaments laughed heartily, and then frequently pointed at the 102 chief sitting opposite with his hand and said jokingly: "I don't think it's Bai Yi's problem, but your old guy's ideological problem, to be honest, is it being led by the nose, and there are some pimples in your heart?" ”

"Where did I get the pimple, I'm afraid that the little ghost will not think through it and affect the overall situation!"

"Don't those at the top see the big picture? They all accepted Bai Yi's suggestion, you old guy is still so stubborn? The chief of armaments took a sip of tea and said lightly.

"I ......"

102 The chief wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

As early as a month ago, Bai Yi, who is the deputy chief engineer of the Baiyun Factory, submitted a report entitled "Exchanging Technology for Equipment" to the chief of armaments in Beijing, proposing to use his own technological advantages in exchange for advanced equipment from other countries.

At that time, the head of armaments was concentrating on the final tackling of the investment casting process, so he hurriedly glanced at Bai Yi's report and threw it aside.

I didn't pay attention to it at all, not to mention whether there is advanced technology to exchange in the current situation in China, even if there is, it is impossible to take it out easily, to know how important it is to master a core technology for the development of the country, it is good not to hide it, how can it be exchanged.

Therefore, the head of armaments did not think about this aspect at all, and continued to lead a bunch of experts to develop investment casting.

It was not until the Soviets suddenly raised the price of equipment by 30 percent that the chief of armaments suddenly realized that something was wrong, and you must know that nearly 80 percent of the machinery and equipment purchased by the state from the Soviet Union this time were to be used for military production, so it was not only precision forging machines in the aviation field, but also aerospace, weapons, logistics, metallurgy, and chemical industry, which can be said to cover almost all military fields.

Even many projects were included in the upcoming First Five-Year Plan, but the Soviet Union suddenly raised prices, which not only disrupted the preparation of the First Five-Year Plan, but also made the goal of establishing a military industrial production system face great uncertainty.

For this reason, the top level ordered the 102 chiefs to continue negotiations with the Soviet side on behalf of the Chinese side, and on the other hand, they actively discussed how to deal with the unfavorable situation.

As the person in charge of the military industry, the head of armaments was naturally the protagonist of the meeting, and even several more important enlarged meetings of the Political ~~~ Bureau, the head of armaments was asked to participate.

It's just that no matter how the Chinese side discusses, it can't change the Soviets' intention to raise prices, if China's economic conditions are good, it's just that, the key is that China has just ended the civil war, and the whole country doesn't even have the least financial reserves, and it is not easy to come up with the existing funds to purchase equipment, and there is no way to invest more money, otherwise the newly born country will have to mess up.

Of course, it is also possible to suspend the procurement of equipment this time, and it is not too late to continue when the economic strength rises in the future, but the problem is that the ladder and effectiveness of the development of science and technology, especially the development of military technology, are obvious.

As a result, things will be frozen, and this can be said to be a blank sore for several high-level officials who are bent on looking forward to the initial establishment of a systematization in the field of military industry, and the chief of armaments has long since stopped engaging in any "antique research" and has devoted himself to how to solve the difficulties at the present stage.

At this moment, he remembered Bai Yi's report, so he took it out again, savored it, and boldly put it forward at an enlarged meeting of the Political ~~~ Bureau......
