The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

The worker will take the steel pipe and start working.

"Wait a minute, I'll check again." Liu Tao stopped him.

"Comrade Liu Tao, isn't this boring machine repaired? Is there still any problem?" Lin Shengli was a little confused.

Obviously the boring machine has been out of trouble and can now operate.

"Minister Lin, let me check again to see if there are any problems." Liu Tao said.

"Okay, everyone is not busy anyway." Lin Shengli nodded.

Liu Tao stroked the boring machine with his hand, and the virtual panel displayed: [Upgrade Points: 2]

He just repaired the boring machine and got 2 upgrade points.

"Analysis, old." Liu Tao thought silently in his heart.

Suddenly, a new three-dimensional picture appeared on the virtual panel. The three-dimensional picture of the boring machine was full of red dots and red spots.

Liu Tao took a breath of air.

Are so many places old?

If this were placed abroad, I'm afraid it would have been eliminated long ago, thrown into the garbage dump or sold as scrap metal.

That is to say, China is too poor and has become accustomed to being poor. It takes three years of sewing and mending for three years, and another three years of sewing and mending.

There are too many parts and they are aging!

How can the barrel processed by an old machine tool like this meet the design requirements?

"Analysis, complete design drawing!" Liu Tao muttered silently.

"Host, to analyze the complete design, you need 20 upgrade points." The system's metallic voice sounded.

Liu Tao frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, 1 upgrade point was not enough, but 20 upgrade points were needed.

It seems that different items require different upgrade points.

Even if the same item has different status, the upgrade points required are also different.

"How about it, Comrade Liu Tao, have you found any other problems?" Lin Shengli was a little nervous.

In fact, Liu Tao's frown was so severe that it made him feel panicked.

Now Lin Shengli doesn't dare to underestimate Liu Tao.

Liu Tao improved the Type 54 pistol and became a technical expert in the factory.

"It's very pessimistic. This boring machine can't work today." Liu Tao said solemnly: "If it keeps working like this, this boring machine will probably be useless soon."

"So serious?" Lin Shengli was surprised.

Panshan Machinery Factory has only five boring machines in total.

The loss of a boring machine means that barrel processing is greatly affected.

Every machine tool is very important to Panshan Machinery Factory. If one breaks down, you may never be able to find a replacement.

"Well, it's very serious." Liu Tao nodded: "Next, I will disassemble many parts of this boring machine and repair it in a day or two."

"Okay, I will communicate with Director Tang Ming here." Lin Shengli nodded.

Tang Ming, the director of this production workshop, manages the production workers in the workshop.

New pistols are also produced in this workshop.

Of the ten pistols originally produced, Wang Tiezhu kept one, and Wang Baoguo took away the other nine.

Now that this boring machine needs to be overhauled, it is natural that Tang Ming, the workshop director, needs to know.

Liu Tao then began to knock here and hit there.

Many people don't understand when they see Liu Tao like this. Can it be repaired like this?

Late at night, Liu Tao was so tired that he had no strength.

"Repair!" Liu Tao forced himself to regain some energy and stroked a steel plate with his hand.

Uh-huh!

Glimmer flickers.

The steel plate is repaired. Although it still looks the same, it is the same as when it was first produced.

"Repair!" Liu Tao stroked the gear with his hand.

Although, since he is not a fabricator, he cannot upgrade the boring machine.

But he can repair various parts through upgrade points.

Let these old and severely worn parts be restored to factory condition.

After doing this, Liu Tao looked at the three-dimensional diagram of the virtual panel. All the red components were back to normal.

Displayed on the virtual panel:

[Item: Single-axis barrel drilling and boring machine]

[Manufacturer: James]

[Item level: LV1 (0/10) (cannot be upgraded)]

[Upgrade points: 1]

[Item status: intact, parsable]

Liu Tao showed a satisfied smile. It was no wonder that he had worked hard all day and finally had the boring machine repaired.

"System, analysis, complete design drawing." Liu Tao thought silently in his mind.

"Host, complete design drawing, upgrade point 15, current upgrade point is not satisfied." The system reminded.

Liu Tao secretly shook his head. It seemed that he would have to find time to accumulate upgrade points for this boring machine, otherwise he would not be able to obtain the complete design drawing.

Only by obtaining the complete design drawing can we produce parts and components, assemble the boring machine ourselves, and can we continuously upgrade it.

To be honest, Liu Tao is very dissatisfied with this kind of boring machine, because it is already a machine tool that has been eliminated by the times.

The production efficiency is not high and the accuracy is not easy to control.

You know, machine tools entered the automation period in 1950, that is, CNC machine tools. CNC machine tools use digital control principles to store processing procedures, requirements, and operating numbers and text codes for tool replacement as information, and control the machine tool according to the instructions issued by them to process according to the required requirements.

As early as 10 years ago, in 1968, the world's first CNC production line was born.

Just a few years ago, from 1970 to 1974, there were three technological breakthroughs due to the widespread use of small computers in machine tool control.

Now, Panshan Machinery Factory still uses old machine tools from decades ago.

Liu Tao urgently wants to develop these machine tools into CNC machine tools.

"And not only this boring machine, but also the stamping machine tool, I guess the problem is not small." Liu Tao thought to himself.

Liu Tao felt it necessary to carefully inspect the machine tools in this production workshop one by one.

You must know that machine tools are the ‘work machines’ in the field of machinery. Whether the machine tool is good or bad can greatly improve work efficiency and production quality.

In addition to machine tools, tools such as calipers also need to be improved.

"But no matter how good the machine tool is, it is operated by people, and the human factor is more important." When Liu Tao thought of this, he felt the need to reach a consensus with others.

Throughout the production workshop, raw materials, finished products, and scraps were piled haphazardly on the workbench in the middle.

Calipers, meter sticks, etc. may be rusty or have missing corners. Obviously, workers will not use them during normal production processes, and technicians in the production workshop will not emphasize them.

You must know that for military products, there are three procedures in any process, that is, the first inspection process and the final inspection.

Even process inspections exist in name only, let alone others.

What it boils down to is that the quality system is not sound, or simply - none!

Liu Tao could not imagine how low the qualification rate of guns and ammunition would be in such production.

And delivering unqualified guns and ammunition to the troops is murdering the lives of soldiers.

This kind of thing is unacceptable to Liu Tao.

The war was not far away, but Liu Tao didn't want the soldiers to use unqualified firearms and elixirs produced in his factory. As a result, he could kill the enemy without dying, but he couldn't kill the enemy and was killed instead.

In that case, Liu Tao would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.

It was already very late when he returned to the dormitory, but Liu Tao took a notebook and wrote on it, it was about the quality system.
