The advantages and shortcomings of the two factories are very clear to everyone here, so they agree with what the leaders of the military industrial system say. Especially in the past year or so that Li Zhao has come to work, Li Zhao has come up with too many technologies, as far as these technologies are concerned, let a factory develop on its own, if all the conditions are optimal, it will take at least several decades to develop, but it is taken out in more than a year, which brings a lot of problems.

Speaking of alloys, Li Zhao has taken out hundreds of formulas, and so far, the research institute can only study a small part of them, and there are too many things to study. Even if Li Zhao pointed out the direction of research, all kinds of experimental equipment were produced under the joint research of several research institutes.

But the research progress can be said to be very limited, up to now, the institute has pushed the performance of more than a dozen of the metals to the level of imported metals in the future, of course, the performance progress is not only these, but compared to hundreds of formulas, it is too little. But this is the reality, after all, it is not easy to make corresponding progress by repeatedly doing experiments, and then repeatedly testing the properties of the metal and observing the crystal structure of the metal.

This is still the situation of the material factory, for the rolling mill, there are more problems, there is a serious shortage of technical personnel, Li Zhao put those projects in the rolling mill, to be honest, before there was no intervention from the research institute, except for a manpower agricultural machinery, there was basically no progress. There has been progress in manpower and agricultural machinery, but it is because this thing is too simple, and because of Li Zhao, it is also a bit creative, that is, the plow has also been metallized.

To put it bluntly, there is no change, but the common curved plough in the countryside has been changed to a metal one, and the weight of the plow has been directly reduced by more than half by using steel pipes instead of wood. You must know that in order to make the plough durable, the wooden plough used in the countryside is generally made of old locust wood and the like, the weight is extremely heavy, and now it is replaced by a steel pipe, and the weight is down, which also saves the strength of the ox, after all, the ox is still the main force of the cultivated land.

And there is nothing else to say, even if it is a bike, nothing has changed. This situation has only improved after the institute took over the technical problems, such as tricycles, and now the institute is making improvements in several aspects, after all, after looking at Li Zhao's car, the tricycle that was randomly put together is too rubbish, and these projects are carried out by the institute itself, and Li Zhao did not participate.

In the current situation, the superiors also feel that the merger of the two factories is the best choice, and the leader of the military industrial system continued: "We do think that the merger of the two factories is necessary, but we must solve one problem, that is, the problem of secrecy. I think everyone here knows the reason for building the material factory at that time, and at that time, I felt that these technologies were too important, and if they were placed in the rolling mill, it might not be safe, and how to ensure it in the future."

After listening to the words of the leader of the military industrial system, the leader of the mechanical system also said: "We also agree with this view, the main thing is how to ensure confidentiality and security, after all, the personnel of the rolling mill are relatively complex."

In fact, Li Zhao has considered this question, and then he said it directly: "I have considered this problem, first of all, from the side of workers, according to the different degrees of confidentiality, our employees arrange different groups, such as alloy steel production workers, all of whom are retired soldiers, and still adopt the current management model, even if it is a manager in the factory, they need to be authorized before they can enter."

"The same is true of the Institute, as it is now, except for the personnel of the Institute, only the security personnel are allowed to enter, and no one else is allowed to enter unless they are allowed to do so. Moreover, the research projects of each research group are basically inaccessible to other groups. On the civilian side, in the future, we will gradually spin off from the research institute and set up a new research institute, just like the current civilian research group, which will basically be the backbone of the relevant projects in the future."

Li Zhao's method is to directly divide the factory into areas and limit the personnel who can enter each area, so that it can be kept secret to the greatest extent. This is also a way to do it, there has been a shortage of technical personnel in recent years, so we can't help but develop, right? After all, there are a large number of ready-made workers in the rolling mill, and their production capacity has not been rationally utilized, which is why Li Zhao believes that the machine tool production capacity can soar to more than 200 after the merger of the two factories.

After listening to Li Zhao's words, both parties were basically satisfied, after all, this is the case now

The management will only be extended to the rolling mill in the future, after all, the rolling mill will also have a lot of technology that needs to be kept secret in the future. Just like the top-down reblowing converter, you can start construction just after waiting for the approval of the superiors, which is definitely quite advanced equipment.

You must know that this technology was only adopted in the West at the end of the seventies, and it is not that it cannot be developed now, but because no one thinks about it now. The technical realization is not very difficult, not to mention that Li Zhao, a person who has seen both the physical object and the drawings, helped to design, but Li Zhao is unwilling to fight for this credit.

The problem of confidentiality has been solved, after all, the material factory has been doing this, but the rolling mill didn't care much, and Li Zhao estimated that the superiors were also mainly reminding. The meeting is here, there is no problem, the next thing is to discuss the issue of the proportion of shares, these are not the people in the factory on both sides can decide, depending on what the superior negotiates, that is what it is.

At this time, the leader of the mechanical system took out a stack of documents and said, "These are the application documents for the technical transformation and the construction of the new converter submitted by you, and after our discussion, they have all been approved. Although they have all been approved, we now have a problem, that is, it is now the end of the year, and the funds in our ministry have been almost used, and all of you together need about 10 million funds, or the materials will be out of the factory, right?"

Li Zhao listened to a little crying and laughing feeling, the merger of the opinion immediately came out of the money, how can the current mechanical system have no money, you must know that the rolling mill has also handed over more than one billion funds this year, although the money is handed over to the state finance, but the mechanical system has a quota, this is ready to gather wool.

Hearing this request, everyone looked at the leaders of the military industrial system, whether the money is spent or not depends on the leadership of the military industrial system. At this time, the leader of the military industrial system said unhurriedly: "In order to support Li Zhao's scientific research work, we promised to leave 20% of the profits for the material factory to do research funds, and so far we have allocated nearly 5 billion, and now there are still 2 billion in the account, anyway, we can't spend it, this is no problem."

But isn't it, now the material factory does have about 2 billion useless, and the remaining period of time, there will be more than 1 billion to the account, excluding the funds prepared for the die forging machine, this year will definitely have a balance of more than 2 billion. Paying this more than 10 million is really a small meaning for the material factory, after all, it can complete the merger, what is it to spend more than 10 million, and it is trivial to spend 350 million, after all, this money is to buy a few years of development time.

At this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and before the leader of the mechanical system could speak, the leader of the military system said: "We have paid this money, but considering the huge expenditure on scientific research and construction of the material factory, will the mechanical system also directly leave 20% of the profits in the rolling mill?" Just like this year, so many construction and scientific research projects in the materials factory have not asked us for money at all, if everything passes through us, how can military vehicles come out."

Hearing this, Li Zhao was directly happy, the leadership of the military industry system is good, it is really not the main one who suffers, and a direct and fluttering sentence can make the material factory leave a profit of seven or eight hundred million, and it is estimated that it will further increase by next year, and it may be possible to leave a hundred or so billion, in this case, the rolling mill and the material factory will usher in large-scale construction in the future, think about such sufficient funds, this research project can be opened a few more.

Li Zhao thought about it, and thought of a very big business he had before, that is, drones, and now Master Zhang often asks him about helicopters, which is a bit troublesome, and if you want to really put it into production, it will take a long time, but drones are different, as long as you solve a few problems, it is quite easy to get a suicide drone. First of all, the shell, now there is FRP in the factory, which is slightly heavier than plastic, but not much.

After all, it is a one-time thing, the engine is simpler, there is no problem at all for Li Zhao, for Li Zhao, these are ready-made, and the model and engine are not a problem. Only one command and control system is more troublesome, but Li Zhao also has the idea of directly engaging in a relay drone to put it on first, this can be made larger, and the communication relay will be directly put into the high altitude first, as for the corresponding command, isn't this just going to engage in an exchanger, it can also be used, and finally it is observation, this institute itself has a radar research.

Of course, the real-time transmission of images, Li Zhao doesn't know if it can be solved, if it is solved, then basically a few thousand pieces of an aircraft will be enough, and when the time comes, it should be no problem to directly carry out suicide attacks on tanks and the like, and there should be no problem in controlling an area of dozens of kilometers, there is no particularly decent air defense weapon in this era, this kind of small suicide drone is basically an unsolvable existence on the battlefield, and the lethality of tank clusters is absolutely huge.
