Chapter 494: A new tank is introduced
readx; "Well, very well, tell Palaviette that this time he has made a meritorious service, and he has made a great contribution, and that all those involved in the research have a share. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Hearing the news from the research institute, Su Dao couldn't help but applaud loudly, and even didn't care about his face, and directly applauded in front of everyone.
What is it that makes Su Dao so excited? It's nothing more than the surname of the new tank, after getting the news from the research institute, the arsenal began to assemble the body of the tank, I have to say, Su Dao's preliminary preparations are still very sufficient.
It took only two days for the entire tank body to be assembled, and it was a living tank ready to be driven into battle, and when the engine was tested more than 336 hours later, the first tank was assembled.
The previous test had taken twelve days, and the two-day assembly was exactly fourteen days, three hundred and thirty-six hours, and at this time there were no problems with the engine of the tank.
The fact that this engine could last 336 hours was beyond Su Dao's expectations, but what he didn't expect was that it took three days to produce the engine factory, and if it weren't for the previous experience in manufacturing fighter engines, it was estimated that it would be difficult for them to manufacture it even in thirty days.
Three days later, when the engine was sent to the factory, the scientific researchers first explained the installation requirements of the engine to those technicians, and then explained to those technicians in person, and finally removed the engine, and watched the installation of those technicians on the side, until they all mastered the assembly technology, everyone nodded with satisfaction, and immediately announced that the first new tank was officially assembled, and it could be delivered to the troops after debugging.
And this only took one day, that is, from the start of production of the engine to the commissioning of the tank, they only took four days, if you add the three days of the previous tank assembly, that is, as long as the spare parts can keep up, they can assemble a tank in only three to four days.
This is just a work group, because at that time in the assembly, there were only more than 30 technicians in the work group, and each work group had ten people, that is to say, as long as the parts kept up, the factory could manufacture at least 30 tanks in four days at most, and in the later stage, after the workers were skilled, the speed would be slightly accelerated, and there would be no pressure to make two tanks a week.
And a single factory can make more than two hundred tanks in a month, and how much did Su Dao prepare before? A whole hundred work groups are used to assemble tanks individually, and an engine factory uses an assembly line production method, and when the workers are proficient, thousands of engines can be manufactured in a month, while other parts factories have not stopped since the task was issued.
To tell the truth, there is no problem at all in assembling 500 tanks with the spare parts stored in their warehouses, and now the workers are almost familiar with it, and the speed of production is getting faster and faster.
Now Su Dao finally realized how the more than 10,000 tanks of the Soviet Union came to be in the later generations, and finally understood that it was true that the Americans had one victory ship a week, and if they hadn't reached this speed themselves, I am afraid that they would really not believe it.
"Your Majesty, now the tank has been tested for 21 consecutive days, five hundred and four hours, before Song Qian sent a telegram saying that the tank is still running normally, although there was a small problem just after five hundred hours, but it was quickly solved, and now the engine of the tank is still the same as new."
Wu Zhongguo reported with a smile.
In the past, I didn't have a headache on the engine of the tank, and the engine of the T34 was not too reliable, although it had saved the troops a little, but on average, it would have to change the engine in two months, if it weren't for Su Dao who didn't know where to get a new engine, it is estimated that his tank would have been lying in the nest.
Five hundred and four hours, and still no major problems, what does that mean? Wu Zhongguo also knows very well that there is no need for others to explain, which means that the armored troops can avoid frequent engine changes in the future, so that the combat efficiency of the troops can be brought into full play.
On average, according to the daily work of ten hours, then a tank can support fifty days before changing the engine, and many times the tank works less than ten hours a day, and the number of long-distance marches is also limited.
What does it mean that the new tank can be guaranteed to replace the engine at least once every two months? It means that they can use the saved materials to make more engines and build more tanks, and the logistics support soldiers can be more relaxed, and they will have more time to learn more knowledge, which is an invisible wealth.
"Haha, okay, go tell him that if this engine can work for five hundred and fifty hours without problems, I'll give him the title of special researcher."
Su Dao nodded and said excitedly.
The soldiers on the front line have been wronged for half a month, although they have not suffered any big losses, but they have suffered a lot of losses compared to before, but there is no way to do it, who let Su Dao develop from the beginning in line with the idea of equipment control? Although the quality of the soldiers has also improved a lot, it is still much worse than those who fight by will.
What happened to the American GIs in later generations? Isn't it still tied by the volunteer army that lacks guns and ammunition? Didn't the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Vietnam also succeed? However, if there is a loss, there is gain, and if you lose the will to fight, at least you don't have to die so many people, Su Dao's heart is still very clear about this.
"Okay, I'll tell him that the other arsenal has started learning today, and tomorrow it will officially start assembly, and a hundred work groups will start work at the same time, and ten new work team members are being brought to study."
Wu Zhongguo nodded in agreement.
Although it is non-stop 24 hours a day, this is the way to maximize output, but Wu Zhongguo and Su Dao do not think so, because the scale of the factory is so large, even if two hundred work groups start at the same time, it is not enough to use up, so the shift is simply a delay in the effort.
Now the factory starts work at 8 o'clock in the morning, the workers arrive at the factory at 7 o'clock, and then the factory is responsible for three meals a day, lunch at 12 o'clock at noon, and work at 1 o'clock in the afternoon until 8 o'clock in the evening, using a 12-hour system, excluding the lunch hour, that is, the 11-hour system.
If there is someone who doesn't want to leave after work, overtime will be carried out according to the situation, and the daily salary will be divided by eleven, and then multiplied by 1.5, which is the salary for one hour of overtime.
When the overtime conditions were introduced, all the workers were reluctant to leave, and finally the factory had to stipulate that they had to leave work at 10 o'clock in the evening, which means that they could only add two hours of overtime at most. This is indeed a very cruel decision for these workers who live and eat in the factory.
But it's better than nothing, anyway, there is only a wall from the workshop to the dormitory, and it will only take half an hour to walk.
Everyone understands the accumulation, but after really seeing the results, even the workers in the factory feel very incredible, a hundred work groups, in a week, they actually built 190 tanks, and the commissioners are debugging the tanks according to the suggestions of the transferred armored force soldiers.
The commissioning area was full of gunfire every day, but the workers were not afraid, listening to the sound of gunfire, they felt a very comfortable feeling, because this was a tank they had built themselves.
However, with the efforts of hundreds of commissioners, it took only two days for the 190 tanks to complete the initial commissioning, and then a second round of testing will be carried out, and if there are no problems, the tanks will be ready to leave the factory.
And when this batch of tanks left the factory, the third batch of 100 tanks produced was handed over to the debugging personnel, so round by round, on average, four or five days can leave the factory 100 tanks, and in a month they can leave the factory about 600 tanks.
Looking at this production efficiency, Su Dao did not dare to order the expansion of the arsenal, six hundred tanks a month is enough for any country, so that it only takes three or four months for them to replace all the old tanks of the Northern Army Group.
Although it seems to be a long time, but do not dare to calculate carefully, if it has been calculated at this rate, 600 tanks a month, then 7,200 tanks a year, with the technical proficiency of the workers, the commissioning personnel have more and more tanks, many problems at a glance to know what to do, so that the number of tanks produced by this tank factory in a year is almost 8,000.
That is, it only takes five or six months for them to replace all the tanks in the entire army, and this rate of production is really terrifying, and this is the case in any country.
However, this is also due to the production model of Su Dao, they only saw the number of tanks that finally left the factory, but did not see how many factories worked together, the assembly plant alone has more than 10,000 workers working overtime every day, and there are dozens of factories, nearly 100,000 workers are doing the production of accessories.
600 tanks a month, this is the result of the efforts of nearly 100,000 people, although the assembly team is only 10 people, if it is not for the help of machinery, the number of people would be even more, but Rao, to build a tank, it takes an average of 166 people to work non-stop for three days, and the pure working time is still 13 hours a day.
In this way, it takes 6,500 man-hours to make a tank, while the Tiger tank is 300,000 man-hours, the Leopard tank is 150,000 man-hours, and even the T34 is not very good.
And there is another point that can not be ignored, here, all the factories are in an area, which greatly saves the transportation time of the accessories, many times the parts that have just been produced, the management personnel only need to count the numbers, and then directly with the assembly plant people to handle the handover procedures.
After coming off the production line, they are pulled directly to the assembly plant, which also saves a lot of time, and all the factors add up, they save thousands of man-hours compared to other countries.
And the structure of the new tank is not simple, at least it is much more complex than the T34.
