Although the processing level of Far East Machinery Factory has not been qualitatively improved, fortunately, the company's requirements for machining accuracy in this era, except for a few fields, most of the other industries are not very strict.

Moreover, the Far East Machinery Factory has produced a large number of steam-powered machine tools in recent years, and the workmanship is relatively rough, and can only carry out some basic simple processing, and the processing level is even more unsatisfactory.

The operation of the steam power unit, of course, can not be compared with the motor, so the operation is not stable, and the relative speed of the tool and the machined parts will change in the process of processing, so that the force between the two has been changing, so many times the machining accuracy is just like that.

Anyway, except for the Far East Machinery Factory in Vladivostok, the Far Eastern Company has strict requirements for accuracy, and the mechanical processing enterprises in other regions produce things that are not so precise, just enough.

Even so, these steam-powered machine tools are a revolutionary leap forward in this era. At least in the field of basic machining, productivity has been greatly increased with these steam-powered machines.

At present, the Far East Machinery Factory undertakes the processing tasks of almost all the company's large components, so the tasks of the factory are extremely heavy, each workshop is three shifts, and the machines work day and night, but they still cannot meet the needs of the company, and the production tasks of a large number of key components have been scheduled for next year.

The main bottleneck is still qualified industrial workers in machining, which is very difficult to train. It took several years of hard work to alleviate in the last two years, so there is still a long way to go.

At present, the entire Far East Machinery Factory and many subordinate supporting enterprises, a total of more than 50,000 employees, but also for the company to train tens of thousands of mechanical processing industrial workers, of course, are assembly line training methods, in the future in the various positions of continuous running-in, in order to become qualified machining talents.

The Far Eastern Military Plant is now much larger than before. There are more than a dozen workshops, which produce military equipment such as guns, guns and artillery, ammunition and medicine. At present, all the equipment of the units under the Far Eastern Military Commission is produced by the Far Eastern Military Factories, and with the continuous expansion of the scale of the Far Eastern Military Forces, the production tasks of the Far Eastern Military Factories are also relatively heavy.

The Far Eastern Military Commission has launched three campaigns in succession in the past two years, and will soon launch another campaign on the Indochina Peninsula. So in the near future, the Far Eastern military factories have been aggressively producing various equipment and ammunition in several shifts. Every day, ships loaded with weapons and ammunition went to Luzon. Active preparations are being made for the upcoming Indochina campaign.

The infantry squads of the units of the Far Eastern Military Commission have always been 28-type needle single-shot rifles and 40-mm grenade launchers, and the firepower of the companies and battalions is a water-cooled heavy machine gun and a 60-mm mortar gun. The units of the Military Commission are only concerned with infantry firearms, not to mention in this era, even in the period of World War I in modern society.

In recent years, the equipment of the Far Eastern Army has not been replaced, and many rifles have been in use for several years. Because at present, the units of the Far Eastern Military Commission are constantly expanding, so many officers and soldiers of grass-roots units. I also hold equipment that has been used for several years, and it is extremely worn.

In recent years, the Far Eastern Military Factory has also developed a number of new types of equipment, including single-shot rifles with full ammunition, five-round bolt-driven rifles with full ammunition, and new water-cooled heavy machine guns.

Support weapons such as the 40-mm grenade launcher, the 60-mm and 82-mm mortar guns, the 70-mm infantry guns, the 75-mm mountain guns, and the 105-mm assault guns have also been improved, which not only reduces the weight of the gun body, increases the firing range, but also increases the life of the barrel.

Other than that. The Far Eastern Military Plant also developed for the Admiralty two specialized long-barreled ship guns, caliber seventy-five mm and one hundred and five-mm. Bullet clocks have also been expanded to include explosive and incendiary bullets, incendiary bombs, armor-piercing bullets, and grenade shrapnel shells.

The Far Eastern Military Factory did not blindly pursue the development of high-end weapons, but developed weapons and equipment that suited the characteristics of this era according to the actual situation of this era. After all, the weapons and equipment of the Far Eastern Army are enough to sweep the world and make a bunch of tall things out in this era. There is no need at all.

Because of the late start of the Far East Power Research Institute, and due to the constraints of the company's industrial level, the technology and materials are slowly accumulating, so the development work has not been smooth in recent years.

At present, the Far East Power Research Institute has only a few small-displacement gasoline and diesel engines put into mass production, and only single-cylinder diesel engines have been thoroughly matured. It is widely used in several types of river engines, sailboats and diesel generator sets around the company.

However, other engine projects have not been very smooth, in fact, various types of engines have been built prototypes, but the stability of the engine is unsatisfactory, and the life of many key components has been very poor.

Although Far East Power Research has invested a lot of resources and spared no effort to carry out tests, progress is still slow. The main reason is that the starting point of several engines developed by the Far East Power Research Institute is relatively high, and they are basically imitations of several mature engines in the fifties and sixties of modern society, and there is basically no bottleneck in technology, but they are still stuck in materials and processes.

The extremely experts of the Far Eastern Institute of Process Materials have been living and eating in the laboratory for several years, doing experiments day and night. There is no shortcut to this, even if a lot of data is known, but it still requires continuous experiments, and a large number of first-hand experimental data have been obtained, slowly accumulated, and step by step.

This is because the company brought a large number of advanced experimental equipment before coming to this era, and also collected a lot of scientific data of modern society, which greatly shortened the time, and the whole development process was in the right direction, and there was basically no detour.

Either more than ten years or decades are normal. In modern society, the theoretical foundation of materials science is very weak, and until the Far East came to the world, our country still lagged behind the United States, Japan and other advanced Western countries in terms of materials and technology.

At present, the Far East Institute of Craft and Materials, the main materials developed in the materials include metal materials, high-strength materials, high-temperature resistant materials, superhard materials, insulation materials and other more than a dozen varieties, as long as the research process includes metal material forming, machining, heat processing, surface treatment technology, heat treatment and other key technologies.
