Scholars in the courtyard

On the sixth day of the lunar month, the sky cleared up, the temperature began to rise, and the snow gradually melted.

On the muddy road, Yang Xiaotao drove to the machinery factory.

After the New Year, the factory gradually became busy.

The honors won a year ago have become a thing of the past, and the future honors are yet to be decided. People who are stimulated by the rewards of the performance are holding their breath and want to do something big before the first month of the year.

"Chief, you promised us this."

"The Second Machinery Department has to return it to us after it is used up. Why did it go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences again?"

"Chief, it won't be like this anymore. Let's study it. If we study it thoroughly, we might be able to make something better."

"Chief."

As soon as he entered the office, he heard the phone ringing on the table. Yang Xiaotao quickly stepped forward to answer it, and then heard Mr. Chen's voice.

Sure enough, the machine tool that belonged to them had just been taken away by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and their worries became a reality.

"How can there be so many promises? Let me tell you, just to let you understand that things are dead but solutions are alive."

"We need good steel for our blades, do you understand?"

"that's all."

Toot toot

After Mr. Chen hung up the phone, Yang Xiaotao was stunned for a long time with the phone in his hand.

Okay, this is pure cheating.

snap

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao sat helplessly on the chair.

Now the gas turbine production in the first workshop has entered the final stage, and it is believed that it will not take long to assemble the first gas turbine.

Production of the second unit has already begun.

Although there are many problems in the production process, as Mr. Chen said, living people always have a way.

Now we can only rely on workers.

After gathering his mood, Yang Xiaotao took out the design drawing and continued to modify it.

Unexpectedly, the phone rang again. After Yang Xiaotao picked it up, before he could speak, a lame voice came from the other side.

"Brother Tao, Happy New Year!"

Well, you will know who it is when you hear this, Albert.

But does this guy have a misunderstanding about the Chinese New Year? New Year greetings are also on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

It's already the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Yang Xiaotao thought about it, and then quickly said in Persian, "Thank you, Albert."

"I didn't expect to receive your blessing. It's such a surprise."

"Haha, Brother Tao, I also heard from my father that you are celebrating this New Year."

Albert explained with a smile, and then talked about the recent situation.

During this period, he asked Yang Xiaotao if he had understood the structure of the machine tool. He was still waiting to send someone to learn it.

Yang Xiaotao did not tell the truth. After all, the family scandal should not be made public. He only said that it was still under study.

Alphabet was not surprised. According to experts sent by France, this was the essence of their French machinery. It would be difficult for ordinary engineers to start it, let alone study it.

"By the way, Brother Tao. I have something to trouble you."

Alphat suddenly spoke, and Yang Xiaotao sat up straight. It was definitely not a trivial matter to make Alphat talk about troublesome things.

After all, they are rich.

These days, most things can be done with money, especially in foreign environments.

Unlike in China, if you have money but no tickets, you can only drink soup and not even a meal.

"You said, the thing I'm least afraid of here is trouble."

Alphat was very happy after hearing this, "We bought a lot of your armored vehicles, and our people responded very well."

"But I still feel that the firepower is a bit weak. I would like to ask if there is any way to increase the intensity of the firepower."

"It would be best to replace the 76mm tank gun with a 100mm smoothbore gun. Of course, it would be better if it is replaced with a 125mm howitzer."

"It will be a deterrent if you drive out like this."

Alphat stated his request seriously, and Yang Xiaotao almost rolled his eyes after hearing this.

Brother, this is an armored vehicle, not a tank, okay?

You're an armored vehicle that relies on speed. What kind of tank cannon is it equipped with?

Besides, aren’t 107 rockets easy to use?

This thing hits the tank accurately every time.

"I really can't install this."

Yang Xiaotao said matter-of-factly that the Kuiniu armored vehicle was already technologically mature and any attempt to change it would be counterproductive.

Hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, Alphat was a little disappointed.

"However, it cannot be installed on armored vehicles, but it can be installed on tanks."

"Tank? Your tank?"

Alphat searched through his memory, but it seemed that he couldn't think of anything suitable.

"Yes, but it's not the one we use now. We are going to shoot a tank that is simple, fast and more powerful."

Yang Xiaotao spoke at the right time, this was not a lie, but there really was a 'main battle tank' project.

"real?"

"Of course, when we make it, we will give you one to try."

"Okay, then you have to hurry up. If you need any help, just ask."

"Well, I really need your help with this."

Even if it comes down to this, Yang Xiaotao won't be polite to him.

And he really thought of something difficult.

The last time he asked each branch factory to submit a purchasing plan, he read it over.

Although most factories are there to 'stock up', some factories do have problems.

As mentioned in the first branch of the factory, the factory’s power consumption is insufficient.

Because they are in the suburbs, the power supply is far less than that of factories in the city.

The thermal power station responsible for power supply is not large in itself, and the generating set used is only 8,000 kilowatts, so the power generation capacity is really not much.

Of course, machinery factories do consume a lot of electricity.

Let’s not talk about anything else. When the machines in the main factory are running, the daily power consumption is a huge number.

We just asked for the machine tools and medical equipment. If we ask for more, it will easily lead to gossip.

But asking for two generators should not be a problem.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao also became thick-skinned.

“Brother Tao, you say.”

Alfat did not have any impatience. On the contrary, in his opinion, he was the one who bothered Yang Xiaotao first. If he could help, he would feel better.

“Generator set, I need a high-power generator set!”

“Can you get a generator there?”

Yang Xiaotao said bluntly.

“High-power generator set? This is a bit difficult. I’ll try it.”

Generators are not difficult to say, and everyone knows the principle, which is to cut electromagnetic electricity.

But it is not easy to get a large generator set.

Moreover, this kind of large equipment is highly protected in any country.

It would be best if Alfat agreed to help. You know, Persia has a very good relationship with Western countries now, and even the United States is close.

Just look at the planes flying in the sky and you will know what is going on.

The two talked in the room for a while, and Alfat was ready to hang up the phone.

"By the way, Brother Tao, the little gourd you sent is really magical. I sleep very well now, and I feel energetic when I wake up the next day."

"Your Chinese things are really amazing."

"I'm glad you like it. Next time you come to China, I will take you to see it."

"Okay, it's a deal."

The two hung up the phone, and Yang Xiaotao rubbed his ears. He had been talking for so long, and he had to use force to hear the noise on the phone. His ears were almost deformed.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao took out a stack of design drawings from the drawer. This is a twelve-cylinder diesel engine designed for a main battle tank.

There are also twelve-cylinder diesel engines in China, just like the one used in the current Type 59 tank, which was learned from the Alliance and uses a twelve-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine.

But the horsepower of this engine is less than 600, which is not as good as the eight-cylinder engine of the machinery factory.

Last time, Secretary Tan from Lucheng came to ask about the engine. They wanted to research a heavy tank, which is also the mainstream trend of tank development. However, Yang Xiaotao was not optimistic about this.

He still likes faster and more powerful main battle tanks.

So at that time, taking out the design drawings of the twelve cylinders would only make the pearls covered in dust.

It would be better to use it on their own tanks.

"At the beginning, we agreed with the Lucheng Tank Factory that the two sides would cooperate in the development of tanks."

"At the beginning of the new year, when Liu Xiangdong and others come back, it’s time to get on track."

In the northwest, the cold wind blew away the dust raised by the wheels, covering the long convoy.

This is a convoy composed of Kuiniu armored vehicles and Type 59 tanks.

The heavy body rolled over the cold Gobi, and the rumbling sound continued.

The farmers passing by along the way immediately became alert when they saw the size of the convoy, but they relaxed when they saw the logo on the body and continued to work.

On the first car of the convoy.

This is a special Kuiniu armored vehicle.

There were no weapons on the roof, but long antennas instead, and a row of pipes on the side.

Inside the car, Wang Huzi and Zhu Lao sat together, with Liu Xiangdong and Wu Bayi who came with them.

At this moment, Wang Huzi and Zhu Lao were talking and laughing, and the two were very warm.

Zhu Lao no longer looked as miserable as when he left Sijiu City, and the whole person seemed to be shining with sunshine.

"Old Wang, I thought Han Xuanfeng was good enough, and I was secretly competing with him."

"In the end, you guys quietly created an armored brigade here."

"Awesome, awesome! I admire you!"

Zhu Lao knocked on the armored vehicle, and it was clear at a glance that it was definitely not an ordinary product.

Even the latest Kuiniu II is not as good as this.

Wang Huzi smiled proudly, "This armored vehicle is specially modified according to the appearance of a command vehicle."

"You can contact other command vehicles at any time in it, and you can also pass messages on the way, which is convenient for pre-war command."

After hearing this, Zhu Lao smacked his lips, "Did the machinery factory help to modify this car?"

Wang Huzi smiled and nodded.

Zhu Lao sighed again, "Back then, I got a batch of excavators from them, which helped a lot and won a game against Han Xuanfeng."

"But I didn't expect that my excavator was just a scrap, and all the good things are here with you!"

"It's not fair, it's not fair!"

Wang Huzi has heard these words a lot in the past two days, especially when he saw the modified tank. When he drove out at night, this guy almost slept in it.

But it's also true that as commanders and fighters, everyone knows what a 1,000-meter night vision means.

In response to this change, they have developed several night combat plans.

This is what Yang Xiaotao said, technology promotes tactical innovation.

So he attaches great importance to the equipment brought by the machinery factory this time.

Maybe this is another thing that can improve combat power.

Thinking of this, Wang Huzi looked at Liu Xiangdong again.

While the two were talking, Liu Xiangdong was also thinking.

At this time, everyone had come all the way and they were already familiar with each other.

Although Liu Xiangdong didn't know the identity of Mr. Zhu, he knew from the performance of Wu Bayi and others that the identity of this old man was not simple.

Of course, it can also be seen from the old man's daily words and deeds.

So Liu Xiangdong still maintained the proper respect.

He even felt that the reason why he had spent the past few years on the train was related to the old man in front of him.

However, he didn't want to care about these things. As long as he could complete the task and realize his own value, nothing else mattered.

"Director Liu!"

At this time, Wang Huzi's voice came, and Liu Xiangdong looked up suddenly, "Chief!"

"Director Liu, you have worked hard in the northwest this time! You didn't have a good New Year. I will ask Xiao Tao to record your merit later!"

"You are too polite, Chief!"

Liu Xiangdong hurriedly said modestly, "When I was in the factory before, I only went home for dinner at night."

"It's just that this year is special, but it is more meaningful."

Zhu Lao laughed, "Yes, it's my first time to spend New Year's Eve on the train!"

"Don't mention it, the sound of the train frame is much louder than firecrackers!"

Everyone laughed when they heard it.
