The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

The conference room seemed to explode.

The people attending the meeting were talking a lot.

"Director, it's easy to talk about guns. We all unite as one, overcome difficulties, and can barely complete the production task. But with so many bullets, we simply can't produce them. Even if everyone doesn't sleep, there is only one production line and we can't produce them at all!"

"Yes, there are many guns. If everyone works harder, it is still possible to complete it. There is only one production line for bullets, and thousands of bullets can be produced in a day."

"The ammunition depot has been emptied before, so why are there still so many guns and ammunition? I haven't heard of any drills."

"Drills, that also uses training ammunition, not live ammunition!"

"We have to produce more than two million rounds of ammunition for almost a year! Isn't this a fool's errand by our superiors? We have been learning some time ago that practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Our superiors do not even understand this, so they just issue production tasks. It’s just playing the piano randomly.”

Everyone was very dissatisfied. With more than two million rounds of ammunition, Panshan Machinery Factory only had an old production line and could not produce that much.

Wang Tiezhu said solemnly: "This is a military order. The higher-ups have already issued an order and decided to teach the monkeys a lesson. Fighting a war requires so many bullets. Without bullets, are our soldiers going to fight monkeys with bayonets with guns?"

"If you can finish it, you have to finish it. If you can't finish it, you have to overcome difficulties and finish it!" Wang Tiezhu's eyes were very sharp.

Soldiers have a duty to obey orders.

The military orders fell like a mountain, and there was nothing to bargain with.

"Director, I have something to say." Liu Tao raised his hand.

Wang Tiezhu frowned. Young people are young people. They will only complain when encountering difficulties. It seems that they still need to polish themselves.

Jade is not cut, not a device!

"Minister Liu, if you want to talk about difficulties, stop talking." Wang Tiezhu waved his hand, his eyes were very sharp, "Whoever dares to shout about difficulties again and disturb the morale of our army, I will shoot him first."

"Director, what I want to say is that two million rounds of ammunition are too few! As long as we have enough materials, we can produce them in less than half a month." Liu Tao shrugged.

Suddenly, the entire conference room fell silent, deathly silent.

Everyone looked at Liu Tao blankly, and then picked their ears, thinking that they heard wrongly.

Wang Tiezhu was also stunned, "Comrade Liu Tao, are you right? With enough materials, we can produce it in half a month?"

"Yes, director, you heard that right." Liu Tao nodded and answered in the affirmative.

"Hissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss thing. Comrade Liu Tao is not too tired during this time and has not woken up yet. Is he talking nonsense?"

"Producing two million rounds of ammunition in half a month? Isn't this a dream?"

"If you drink less than one or two drinks, you wouldn't dare to say that. If you say it loudly, your tongue will flash."

"Quickly touch Comrade Liu Tao's forehead. Isn't it because he has a fever?"

Everyone was talking, their eyes full of worry. Lin Shengli, who was sitting next to Liu Tao, quickly reached out to touch Liu Tao's forehead.

"Minister Lin, I'm fine." Liu Tao blocked Lin Shengli's hand. He didn't expect that time had come to this point before he knew it.

This battle established the peace for the next forty years and the border peace for more than forty years.

He had been sleeping and forgetting food during this period, wasn't it just to prepare for this battle, so that his soldiers would suffer less losses.

"Director, weren't I assembling the bullet production line during this period? I was busy until five o'clock in the morning last night and just finished the production line." Liu Tao said with a smile on his face: "According to my estimation, this brand-new bullet The production line can produce 140,000-150,000 rounds of automatic rifle bullets every day.”

Everyone looked at Liu Tao in shock.

Naturally, everyone admired Liu Tao's ability.

The production machine Liu Tao built some time ago is like brand new and very easy to use. Everyone in the production workshop praises it.

Liu Tao was working on a new bullet production line. Many people knew about this, but no one expected that Liu Tao actually completed it, and the daily bullet production capacity could reach 140,000-150,000 rounds.

This directly increased the bullet production capacity of Panshan Machinery Factory by 20 times!

"Comrade Liu Tao, are you right? Have you really assembled a new bullet production line? And it has such a high production capacity?" Wang Tiezhu was incredulous.

Liu Tao nodded heavily: "Yes, I guarantee it with my party spirit!"

"The production line is now in the production workshop. If you don't believe it, you can go and take a look." Liu Tao said, "I will personally operate the machine and do trial production for an hour, and everyone will know."

"Let's go to the production workshop and see with our own eyes!" Wang Tiezhu made a quick decision.

Everyone immediately left the conference room and, led by Liu Tao, arrived at the newly built factory building.

At this time, there are machines in the factory.

Liu Tao personally introduced the functions of these five machines.

Then someone brings the raw materials, Liu Tao adds the materials to the raw material trough, and then presses the switch.

The machine started to move.

The conveyor belt is also running.

Wang Tiezhu and others were stunned for a while. The entire production line only required a few workers. The most important things turned out to be adding materials, removing unqualified parts, and taking out bullets and putting them into bullet boxes.

Production only lasted an hour before it was temporarily stopped.

"Director, a total of 6,100 bullets have been produced." Tang Changzheng was dumbfounded. The production speed of this bullet was simply terrifying.

Liu Tao looked satisfied. He had spent so much effort and only slept three or four hours a day. This production line did meet his deadline.

Of course, he had seen a documentary where the bullets were produced faster, and tens of thousands of bullets could be produced in one minute.

Even loading bullets is automated, and workers only need to be responsible for transporting boxes of bullets away.

But there is no doubt that the bullet production line he built is the most advanced production line in the country. Even if you look at the entire world, it is estimated to be at the leading level.

If all CNC machine tools can be used in the future to improve automation and unmanned operation, it is estimated that Panshan Machinery Factory alone can produce hundreds of millions of bullets every year.

After building such a production line himself, Liu Tao finally believed why China would produce 2.5 billion bullets a year in later generations, but the operating rate of the production line was less than 5%.

"Comrade Liu Tao, is this bullet qualified?" Wang Tiezhu's mind went blank.

Coming from the war years, Wang Tiezhu could not imagine that bullets could be produced in this way.

He is very worried now. Bullets are produced very quickly, but if the bullets are not up to standard, it will be useless no matter how fast they are produced.

"Director, you will know if the bullet is qualified after you try it!" Liu Tao smiled lightly.

This production line, before and after, has been changed many times and upgraded again and again before it looks like this.

Liu Tao is very confident in this production line, or he is confident in his golden finger.

His golden finger has never failed and never let him down.

And this golden finger is also his biggest reliance in this world. If even the golden finger makes a mistake, it will be over.
