"I was puzzled. Chief Secretary Lu has so many big companies and doesn't want good technology, but he continues to carry out in-depth cooperation with the unknown Gage Xinda Company!"

In the evening, at the Beijing Hotel, a black car parked steadily at the door. Zhu Haifeng, who had just finished participating in the daytime negotiations, got out of the passenger seat of the car in his regular suit. However, although he came here in his rare costume to attend a joint celebration dinner that reached a comprehensive intention with the United States, Zhu Haifeng's serious face could not see a hint of joy, but instead he was as heavy as a piece of black charcoal.

In fact, since he started a new round of intention negotiations with Gage Innovent Corporation of the United States, he has been very puzzled. Is General Electric's lm2500 gas turbine not good? Isn't the F-16 of Los Angeles the most urgently needed equipment now? Isn't Northrop's advanced command and control system a multiplier for the national anti-missile and air defense?

But in his opinion, these are all things that are beyond reach. As the chief designer of the new tank and also in charge of this negotiation, Lu Jiadong turned a blind eye to these top military equipment. Instead, he focused on diesel engines, transmission systems, high-precision electronic gyroscopes, data buses, certain material processing and preparation processes, as well as related processing equipment and CNC machine tools, etc., there are no obvious signifiable details at all.

Not only did it not highlight the importance of this negotiation, it also made people feel that the things that were done with such a lot of energy were simply in vain. Because of this, on the way, on the way, Zhu Guangrong, who had just taken the opportunity to be alone with his teacher, Zhu Guangrong, who had just taken office as the executive vice chief designer of the new tank, expressed his thoughts all over his mind. Even after arriving at the destination, Zhu Haifeng got off the car and helped Zhu Guangrong open the car door, but he did not mean to stop this topic:

"Teacher, do you think Chief Teacher Lu is too conservative in this matter?"

Zhu Guangrong, who got off the car, did not answer Zhu Haifeng's question immediately. He just glanced at his students meaningfully. Zhu Guangrong took the initiative to find Lu Jiadong a week ago to propose to go to Wanshan Factory to participate in the development of a new tank. The reason for this is that in addition to the thoughts that he had in his heart, he also felt grateful to Lu Jiadong for fully embracing the Northern Factory. Of course, the Northern Factory, which is undergoing upgrading and transformation, fell into a temporary production pause.

Therefore, Zhu Guangrong proposed to temporarily allocate some skilled workers from the Northern Factory to the new tank leadership group, and use the development and production of new tanks to preserve a group of skilled workers and technical backbones, leaving valuable seeds for the revival of the Northern Factory after the upgrade and transformation in the future.

His proposal was naturally supported by leaders in charge of military industry systems at all levels, and Lu Jiadong was even more happy to see that it was successful. So, with some efforts, Zhu Guangrong's transfer and appointment a few days ago was officially announced. He took office as deputy head of the new tank leadership group and executive deputy chief designer, and was in charge of the comprehensive development of new tanks. At the same time, after carefully selected skilled workers and technical backbones, he also took the bus south at the moment when the transfer order was issued, and participated in the vigorous development of new tanks.

However, Zhu Guangrong, the original proposer of this plan, did not follow the large army south, but continued to stay in Beijing, and participated in the final negotiations with the United States Gage Xinda Company. After all, there are many supporting systems and equipment related to the development of new tanks, which forced him, the actual helmsman of the development of new tanks, to participate in it.

Of course, at the beginning, he had objections to Lu Jiadong's continued cooperation with Gage. Xinda Company. After all, Gage. Xinda Company almost killed the Northern Factory, so in his eyes, Gage. Xinda Company is a treacherous and unreputable inferior company, and it is not worth continuing to cooperate.

However, when Zhu Guangrong saw the conditions proposed by Lu Jiadong and the final intention agreement text, the doubts and worries in his heart were not only wiped out, but also secretly gave Lu Jiadong a thumbs up in his heart, and he felt that the hard work he had put in these days was not in vain...

"Teacher, I think so anyway!" Zhu Haifeng saw that Zhu Guangrong did not answer, and thought he had not explained it clearly, so he followed Zhu Guangrong and walked north to the hall of Beijing Hotel, while continuing:

"What Chief Engineer Lu has shown is the core parameters of the Soviet Union's latest T-80 silicon carbide armor structure, the supreme core secret of the Soviet armored forces, something that the United States has not mastered for so many years, and it is impossible to measure it with money. Otherwise, how could the US military-industrial complexes be so flocked to it? It can be seen from the rich exchange conditions they have taken, but Chief Engineer Lu turned a blind eye to it, so I think Chief Engineer Lu..."

"What's wrong with him?" Before Zhu Haifeng finished speaking, Zhu Guangrong looked at his student obliquely, then sat down on the sofa in a half-enclosed hall next to the hall, took the tea handed over by the waiter, took two sips to moisten his throat, and then spoke again:

"I think Xiao Lu is very clever!"

"I don't deny that Chief Secretary Lu is very smart. I mean...well...wait... teacher, you mean..."

When Zhu Haifeng saw Zhu Guangrong finally spoke, he was excited and quickly sat next to the teacher. He was about to continue the topic just now and suddenly felt something was wrong. Then his eyes were full of doubts suddenly opened like a light bulb. He looked at Zhu Guangrong beside him incredibly and said in a surprise tone:

"Teacher...why do you...why do you say that Chief Teacher Lu is very clever?"

Zhu Guangrong looked at Zhu Haifeng with a surprised face and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In fact, he admired Zhu Haifeng, whether in academic research or in exploration of technology, Zhu Haifeng was serious and rigorous. But because of this, Zhu Haifeng always seemed to live in his own technological world, with a somewhat biased relationship between colleagues, superiors and subordinates, and even the perspective and depth of looking at problems.

At this moment, the in-depth cooperation with Gage. Xinda Company is a very obvious example. Several senior leaders with broad vision were all applauded when they saw the final agreement. On the contrary, some young people, or radical development parties, were very confused about Lu Jiadong's choice, and even said behind their backs that Lu Jiadong was too conservative. I believe Zhu Haifeng was also influenced by these remarks.

In fact, this is true. To put it bluntly, Zhu Haifeng is a typical technical occupant, with all the attributes of technical occupants. A surging and passionate heart is indispensable. It is precisely because of this that when he heard someone discussing in-depth cooperation with Gage Xinda Company, he couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart. Fortunately, all this has been seen by Zhu Guangrong, who has been through the storm for a long time, so he stretched out his hand and patted Zhu Haifeng on the shoulder:

"Xiao Zhu, you have been working in the military industry for so long. Then let me ask you, what is the most important thing in the military industry?"

"This..." Zhu Guangrong's question was too big, and Zhu Haifeng couldn't answer it at all. Zhu Guangrong looked at Zhu Haifeng's puzzled face and did not make things difficult for him anymore. He raised his hand and raised two fingers in front of Zhu Haifeng, and continued with a kind smile:

"Let me see it's just two words, the foundation!" As he said that, Zhu Guangrong put his two fingers together and pointed to the ground under his feet: "The key to the Bei~~~ The reason why Beijing Hotel can build such a tall building is the foundation, so you can see the glamorous building, but who can see the foundation in it?"

"I..." Zhu Haifeng wanted to say something, but he swallowed it down to his mouth. After hearing Zhu Guangrong's words, he seemed to understand something, but he didn't understand anything. Under the interweaving, the heavy eyebrows frowned and let go from time to time, and Zhu Guangrong smiled and took his hand back with a gentle smile, continuing his words just now and then said:

"The same is true for military systems. The finished products of weapons and equipment are indeed majestic, but the foundations cannot be seen. Whether it is General Electric's lm2500 gas turbine or Luoyang Ma's F-16, the things they provide are not bad or bad, but they are all finished products. We were indeed very comfortable and had a sense of accomplishment at the beginning. But what should we do in a few years, and what we do in more than ten years? We do not have the corresponding foundation to support us, and the things we get will sooner or later become a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron!"

"So, what Chief Secretary Lu wants is the basics?"

"It's a bit inappropriate to say that it's the foundation. Let me see, it's all the pillars that support the future Chinese military industry. It's no exaggeration to say that the future wings of China's military industry development will be installed by Xiao Lu through this cooperation agreement with Gage. Xinda Company!"

"Such a high evaluation!" Zhu Haifeng never expected that his teacher would give such a high evaluation. He became even more confused when he was surprised, while Zhu Guangrong explained to his students in detail:

"Let's talk about the xhm-1500 transmission system on the most inconspicuous mbt-70 tank. This transmission system is more than one order of magnitude more advanced than the rough transmission device of the Soviet Union. The characteristic of this device is that it can change the transmission ratio steplessly and has excellent power. The steering system is hydraulic steering and belongs to dual-current integrated transmission.

Although this device is theoretically simple, it is not difficult to create a theoretical sample in the laboratory, but it is not easy to produce a transmission device that meets military standards on a large scale. The core key components are also high-power hydraulic components. The ball plug pump and ball plug motor are an insurmountable obstacle.

You should know that according to military standards, the maximum power that each pump can transmit is 370 kilowatts, the displacement reaches 344 ml, and the rotation number range is 2200~3000 rpm. Xiao Zhu, you are engaged in metallurgical materials research and processing and manufacturing. Can you tell me if you can build such a standard ball plug pump in China now?"

"This..." Zhu Haifeng hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head helplessly. Although he is a technical mate, he may have a biased perspective on some things, but once specific technology is involved, he can understand better than anyone else. The relevant data of the ball plug pump mentioned by Zhu Guangrong is extremely demanding. Materials, precision processing, and equipment integration require extremely high standards to complete. Not to mention China today, even the Soviet Union, which is several times higher than the technology, cannot produce such a harsh ball plug pump...

"But Xiao Lu introduced the entire processing technology and material preparation technology through this agreement with Gage Xinda Company. With this introduction, the domestic piston pumps, gear fine processing and hydraulic integrated systems will complete a leap forward upgrade, thereby driving the follow-up of related industries such as metallurgy, chemicals, materials, automobile manufacturing, and precision processing, and even leading to commissions in the entire military manufacturing field!"

"So...it turns out...it turns out...it turns out..." Zhu Haifeng was shocked when he heard Zhu Guangrong's words. He never expected that Lu Jiadong was not engaged in conservatism, but was in the next big game of industrial upgrading. Because of this, Zhu Haifeng, who learned the truth, was so shocked that he couldn't speak, but Zhu Guangrong, who was sitting next to him, did not stop the rhythm of speaking:

"And this is just a transmission system. How many industries will the introduction of the overall manufacturing technology and process of mb870ka-500 diesel engines drive? What kind of development can the purchase of electronic gyroscopes make in the field of electronic information? What kind of progress will the introduction of high-precision optical instruments make? There are also many supporting equipment and technical drawings...

In short, this time we have to fully understand all the technology on the mbt-70 tank, and the price we paid is only the main armor structure parameters of the T-80 tank. The benefits that can be obtained are that even the old man, I, don’t dare to think about it. You must know that the Soviet Union helped us in that year... "

"I really didn't expect that Chief Commander Lu would have such a far-reaching gaze. If this is true, Chief Commander Lu is indeed very clever!"

"That's true!" Zhu Guangrong nodded: "Although manufacturing equipment and production processes are only a few prototypes and cannot form production lines, as long as we put our minds into it, we can turn these things into our own. Xiao Lu has laid a solid foundation. If we can't build a high building, Xiao Zhu, tell me, will you still have the face to meet people?"

"Shadowless!" Zhu Haifeng shook his head and answered firmly, while Zhu Guangrong smiled with satisfaction: "Those who do not plan the overall situation are not enough to plan a domain, so now it seems that Xiao Lu is the real military master..."

"Old Zhu, the banquet has begun. Chief Master Lu invites you to come together!" Before Zhu Guangrong finished speaking, Hu Qinghua trotted to Zhu Guangrong's face. Zhu Guangrong nodded and then stood up:

"Let's go, have a good meal with the Americans this time!"
Chapter completed!
