Soon, the two sides had an in-depth discussion on the cooperation agreement, and at the same time carried out the drafting of the cooperation agreement.

Bai Wanju said: "Mr. Philip, judging from your sales package, you must have a basic agreement framework!" Why don't we do it one by one. ”

Philip nodded and said, "That's right, Miss Bai." We have prepared a preliminary draft agreement, which we can now revise according to your request. Now that the two sides have agreed on the overall demand and price, let's discuss the specifics. ”

Bai Wanrou smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Philip." Then please first show the draft agreement to all the members of our delegation, and we will discuss it as we look at it. ”

Philip nodded, then turned to Karl next to him and said, "Mr. Karl, please distribute the first draft of our agreement to the Chinese delegation, and we will discuss the specific details of the cooperation immediately." ”

Carl was excited, but on the surface he was extremely calm, and he asked his secretary to immediately take out several first drafts of the agreement and distribute them to the main negotiators on both sides. The Chinese delegation was Bai Wanrou and the five members of the delegation, and the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium was Philip, Carr and Messerschmidt.

While watching, Bai Wanrou exchanged glances with the delegation members next to her, then raised her head and glanced at Philip on the other side and said, "Mr. Philip, your technology is very advanced, but I don't know if your government agrees to the export of these technologies?" ”

Philip said with a smile: "Miss Bai has considered it comprehensively, it is true that these technologies can not be exported casually, but we took into account the future cooperation interests of both parties, and finally made a decision to export these weapons manufacturing technologies, and the ones listed in the package are all approved, you can rest assured." ”

Bai Wanrou loosened her frowning willow eyebrows, and then said, "What about the training of personnel and the supply of spare parts, as well as the issue of localization?" ”

"As for the training of personnel, we will optimize the time, as much as possible to speed up the progress, and at the same time will send capable technical personnel to your country in the follow-up to provide you with technical guidance, so as to ensure the quality of the future production process, and solve some unexpected technical problems, and for the localization of parts, we will set up a special inspection committee to meet the requirements of the production of parts and components of the Chinese manufacturers to inspect, if the inspection is qualified, you can use the components made in China." Philip paused.

"For very critical and high-tech parts, you have to introduce production equipment and relevant standards from us for standardized production. For example, the precision machine used in the production of assault rifles is currently only available in Germany, and Mr. Messerschmitt and Mr. Karl can help in this regard. Philip laughed.

Bai Wanrou said in surprise: "Oh, the refining machine? It's the first time I've heard of it. Is the barrel processing of your assault rifle different from that of a regular rifle? ”

Philip nodded, "That's true." If you use ordinary production technology, the barrel produced is not only not long-lasting, but also not accurate, and it is an unqualified part for high-tech weapons such as assault rifles. The process of barrel precision forging is done through a precision forging machine. The precision forging machine has high dimensional accuracy of the barrel bore, thereby improving the strength and life of the barrel, and when forging the barrel, the plastic deformation of the material is improved, and the metal structure is more dense, and the diameter tolerance of the male wire is within the range of 0.03mm after radial rotation, and the rifle and the chamber can be forged at the same time, so that the shape of the blank is flat or has a certain taper. Our assault rifles are now using barrel forging technology, which reduces production costs and is much higher than the 0.05 to 0.1 mm range of traditional machining accuracy. ”

A member of the Chinese delegation was surprised: "It turns out that there is such an advanced production process!" I've been working in weapons manufacturing for more than 20 years, and I'm really unheard of, and it seems that I can't do it without studying all the time. ”

Philip laughed, "You're right! Therefore, those of us who are engaged in the development and production of weapons must keep a close eye on the latest technological developments in the world, and the best way is to subscribe to our Gushi Defense Weekly. It contains the latest developments in the development of the munitions industry in various countries around the world, as well as some technical review articles. Like this kind of refining machine, it is obtained from the German Krupp company, the precision forging machine is a kind of radial forging machine, only need to insert the core rod in the inner hole of the blank and the size of the corresponding rifling and chambering, and the hammer head moves forward or backward according to the program, this method is also called cold forging. Therefore, the introduction of the refining machine will not only help to improve the technical level of your country, but also be an indispensable equipment for the production of assault rifles. ”

Bai Wanrou rubbed her forehead and sighed, "I really don't know if I don't see it." It turns out that there are so many ways to make weapons, it seems that I have to study hard! The technical requirements for assault rifles are so high, so isn't your 105mm howitzer more complex, and can we process it in China? ”

Philip said: "Our 105mm howitzer is a high-tech artillery. In complex artillery structures . The barrel is the most important component. The gun body is composed of the body barrel, gun tail, gun latch and other parts, of which the body barrel is the most important. It can be said that the body barrel gives the artillery the most important combat performance - lethality. It is the main body of artillery combat effectiveness. When the artillery fires, the working environment of the body is extremely harsh. The temperature here is as high as 3000°C, and the high temperature will not only seriously ablate the barrel, but also may cause the deformation of the barrel, and the pressure on the inner wall of the chamber of the high-chamber gun can be as high as several hundred megapascals. The body must have sufficient strength and toughness. High temperature, high pressure, friction and corrosion are the four major problems that must be faced in the production of artillery barrels. ”

"Our 105 mm howitzer barrel is 35 times the caliber ratio, which is a very difficult deep hole processing. The delicacy and difficulty of deep hole machining lies in the depth. In the process of deep hole machining, the operator cannot directly observe the cutting and other processes. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the processing is carried out with a high degree of precision. Moreover, slender pipe fittings are also prone to bending and deformation during processing. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to process. Because the quality of the bore processing of the barrel is closely related to the shooting accuracy, life and safety of the whole gun. Therefore, the dimensional tolerance, bending, roughness and other aspects of the processed are extremely high. It can be said that deep hole processing is a prominent feature of artillery manufacturing technology that is different from ordinary machinery manufacturing. Therefore, the machine tools for deep hole processing are all special machine tools with huge body size. Machining the barrel bore can achieve a high degree of accuracy, and it is impossible to produce this kind of gun in your China without the introduction of such a special machine tool. Moreover, the requirements for cannon steel are also very high, and it is impossible for you to produce them at present, so you can only import blanks from our Bofors. ”

Bai Wanrou sighed: "It turns out that the introduction of technology is such a complex project, I thought that the drawings and processing methods would be solved by taking them back, our China is indeed too backward in this regard, no wonder everything has to be imported, alas!" ”
