Domestic car manufacturing is weak, what does it have to do with our land tanks? - Chapter 45
In this world.
Hongqi was the eldest son of the country among the car companies, and Lu Yan’s grandfathers also worked hard for the country.
But later, the top technical talents in Hongqi were divided into national research institutes, and Lu Yan’s ancestors did not receive the support and dividends of the country. This has nothing to do with the country’s arrangements. It’s just that the choices of that generation of technicians are different. But for Lu Yan, making cars and promoting the Hongqi brand must be the first priority.
However.
When he heard the words”paying money to expand the production line”,
Lu Yan’s eyes lit up!
What a good relationship!
“This… isn’t good, is it? Well, when will we need this batch of special steel? I have already chosen the site for the new factory to expand the production line. You can leave it in my office. As long as the country needs it, we, Hongqi, will do our best to support it!!”
Lu Yan took the hand of the major in front of him very kindly, and his attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.
Zhou Guoan was stunned at first, and then he was a little amused.
The young Hongqi CEO in front of him was a bit interesting.
“Don’t worry, let me introduce you. This is Director Wang from Office No. 6 of the Northern Base Research Institute. He is a top academician in materials science in China. He is here to inspect the production line today.”
“The person behind him is his student, Commissioner Liu, who is also a scholar at the Northern Base Research Institute, responsible for the research and development of military tank manufacturing and inspection and testing.”
Lu Yan quickly stretched out his hand
“Hello, Hello……”
This is not the kind of”expert” you see on the Internet. You can tell their level is different.
The Northern Vehicle Research Institute is the headquarters in charge of vehicle research and development for the entire domestic military region. The director and senior academician are even more like the leading figures in related fields.
Wang Fengnian nodded and said,”Mr. Lu, this is our first meeting. We are here for the special steel used in your company’s vehicles. Is this steel independently developed and then mass-produced?”
Lu Yan took over the words of Academician Wang and said,”You’re welcome. You can just call me Xiao Lu.”……”
“As for the production of special steel, this is indeed our company’s independent research and development and production.”
Wang Fengnian and Zhou Guoan looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
“Excuse me, at present, the domestic carburizing special steel has reached a bottleneck. Even if our military region research institute gathers all the domestic material scholars and academicians, it can only make a breakthrough. The progress is unclear. How did you make this special steel?”
Wang Fengnian asked straight to the point.
After all, the tank outer armor material has become a problem for the whole world to make a breakthrough.
The experts of the National Academy and the research institute have no way. It is hard to imagine that a civilian car company can actually make such a thing.
This is incredible.
Lu Yan pondered for a while, then said:
“This… should start with my father’s generation. In fact, in the early years, although we withdrew from the production of state vehicles, we have been doing relevant research and development internally, preparing for the day when the country really needs us and can use our Hongqi.”
Lu Yan was talking about the history in his memory, and he was not making it up.
Because that generation was like this, even if the country no longer needed it, they were always ready, and they wanted to do better than before. After Hongqi consumed too much funds, they had to stop the relevant internal research and development.
“You mean… these technologies were already being researched by you guys before!”
Wang Fengnian took a breath.
But thinking about it carefully, it was normal.
The experts led by Lu Yan’s grandfather who were responsible for the development of the first generation of state vehicles were the real”pioneers”, and each of them was a national treasure!!
Limited by the conditions of the times, that group of people created and produced the first state vehicle with the most meager resources almost out of nothing!
Lu Yan nodded:”I guess so. One day I found several thick notebooks in the R&D room. There were a lot of things on them. In fact, most of the contents were ideas and very incomplete. But relying on the roads provided by these ideas, plus our independent research and development of Hongqi over the years, these technologies have been implemented recently.”
Although these words are simple,
Wang Fengnian can imagine how difficult it was for Hongqi to get here!
Ordinary experts and scholars cannot imagine the hardships involved.
After all, in the field of tank outer armor, the orchard and the research institute invested talents, the efforts of tens of thousands of people, and over 100 billion yuan in funds in the past 20 years to bring the third-generation armored tank to its current level!!
“Can you show us the production line of special steel? ?”
Wang Fengnian said
“Of course.”
Lu Yan nodded.
After a while, he led the inspection team into the factory. The interior of the Hongqi factory was not very clean, especially the workshops that mainly made steel and manufactured body parts. Many of the walls outside were covered with black ash and old dirt. However, the production line equipment inside was very precise and orderly, and it was brand new. It was simply out of place.
All of them were operated in an orderly manner by sophisticated robotic arms, accurately proportioning hot-formed steel forming and carburizing treatment.
“This is… a fully automatic sensing robot arm production chain?!”
Wang Fengnian raised his glasses and said with a look of shock on his face.
