Chapter 957: The Strongest Heavy Tank

In the past few years, the life of heavy industry state-owned enterprises has improved a lot, but not all of them have had a better life, and some have been forced to be merged and reorganized. Bingzhou Tractor Factory is one of them. The high-quality resources of the factory have been taken away by other companies, except for a few dilapidated workshops that have to be disbanded.

Director Shen is the head of a dilapidated workshop. He is almost fifty years old and should be at the peak of experience and ability, but now he is swimming in the shallows of Longlong, and the tiger has fallen into Pingyang. It is a bleak scene!

Bingzhou Tractor Factory was originally a military factory. Don’t think that they only produced tractors. They produced tanks back then, but they were old Type 59 tanks.

The "Old Five Nine" is now overwhelmed, and the task of producing new tanks cannot fall to the Bingzhou Tractor Factory. The factory has been engaged in the "military-to-civilian transformation" for many years, and the workshop that originally produced tanks can still do some maintenance work. But when Lao Shen came to power, he didn't even have to do maintenance work.

Morale is low, and everyone naturally has to go their separate ways. Old Shen also stood on the last post, waiting for his superiors to transfer him to another post. But…….

Zhou Qingfeng wanted to repair an old tank with a technical level decades ago, so Xiao Jinlang definitely couldn't find him a real expert with a high level of secrecy. Fortunately, Guoan's ability is strong, and the matter was quickly thrown to the old Shen of Bingzhou Tractor Factory. Anyway, Lao Shen also builds tanks, right?

Old Shen accepted this task with a wry smile. He led people to toss all night, and came up with a plan for Zhou Qingfeng. But when Guoan from Bingzhou really came to his door the next day and told him seriously that this matter was very important, Lao Shen panicked completely.

Really want to build this old tank? But I was actually leading a bunch of young people to talk nonsense. Even an old design from decades ago cannot be made in just one month, this is a fantasy!

But this can't be said, absolutely can't be said. Because 100 million has already arrived. For such a broken project, I will give you 100 million yuan. Who is this? Tyrant! For the cute little money, the requirements of the local tyrant must be satisfied.

What is Lao Shen's current difficulty? The technical team is not ready. The manufacture of the "Old Five Nine" is out of date. The equipment in the factory is outdated and completely worthless, and can only be sold as scrap iron. But the technical level of this project is not high at the moment, it can even be said to be extremely low.

After confirming that there was indeed 100 million yuan for him to spend, Lao Shen's heart suddenly became hot - no matter what, the money had already been obtained. With this money, you can recruit a new team. With another team, the situation is quite different. He is still a serious director.

But to build a tank, even a tank decades ago is not something Lao Shen's current team can handle. Last night, he was just bragging, patting his chest and telling Zhou Qingfeng that he could handle it, but in fact he couldn't handle it at all.

"Old Shen, I heard you got rich?"

A cry woke up Old Shen who was full of melancholy. As soon as he looked up, he saw that it was the deputy director of his factory in charge of technology. In the past, the two had been at loggerheads, but now that the factory is over, all enmity and wishes have vanished.

"What are you looking for me for?"

"I hear you've got a special project."

"Yeah, the superiors asked to copy the IS-7, which was not mass-produced in the Soviet Union, and also to strengthen it with the technology of the 1950s. But building a tank is not just a matter of lip service. I don't have anything on hand, and I have two eyes. Discredit."

Old Shen is really blind, even if he has the full set of IS-7 information provided by Mao Xiong, the production line is not available, and the workers are not available either.

However, the deputy factory manager obviously came prepared, and whispered with a smirk: "There are still a lot of old workers who have difficulties in the factory. If you are willing to take this project out and let everyone work together, I will mobilize the whole factory to support you."

Are you eyeing my 100 million funding?

Just by looking at his face, Old Shen knew what the other party was up to. But at a loss, he really needed help, so he immediately asked in a low voice, "Can you make IS-7?"

"The people under your command have shown me the record of last night's plan, they just want an IS-7 shell,

Can you find a way to integrate the internal equipment? In fact, people who are tossing this thing want a heavy tank. How about zooming in on our "Old Five Nine"? "

This idea made Lao Shen's eyes light up, and he blurted out: "Are you going to carry out the '59 magic reform' again, and put an IS-7 shell outside?"

If it was changed to "Old Five Nine", Bingzhou Tractor Factory would be familiar with it, so I wouldn't be afraid at all. According to Lao Shen's plan, a lot of equipment can actually be ordered externally. For example, the high-horsepower electric drive system and large-caliber artillery are all ready-made, and the fire control is even more "old five-nine".

The deputy director poked Lao Shen again, rubbed his fingers and said, "I don't know how you got lucky. The key is that you have money now, and the people from Guoan will give you a backing. One hundred million can do a lot." something happened.

Give each of the old workers in the factory a bonus of 10,000 yuan to boost morale, and I guarantee you a capable team of more than 100 people. Design in one week, prototype in one week, test in one week, production in one week, and finish the project in one month.

This tank does not have any advanced equipment, and the car body is worthless at all. As long as we design it well, 100 million is almost a net profit. With this money, the problems in our factory will be solved easily. "

What the deputy factory manager said made Lao Shen feel hot in his heart, but the other party's analysis was clear and logical, and it was extremely feasible. The key is that if the matter is successful, he will turn around, maybe he can set up a design team by himself, why go under the eaves of others to see people's faces?

"It seems that this project really needs a lot of hard work. Although it is not difficult technically, it takes a lot of effort in integration to make the finished product a high-quality product as much as possible. At any rate, we must be worthy of the 100 million soft girls who started this wonderful project Coins, maybe there are follow-up tasks to do."

After Lao Shen figured it out, he just wanted to sing a song to the sky, feel refreshed, and walk with wind. And when I heard that he had a wonderful project to build old tanks, the entire Bingzhou Tractor Factory was in an uproar. In less than half a day, there were more than 100 people, and five or six hundred old workers ran out to earn extra money.

And these days, Qian Neng is a god, and in order to retain the 100 million yuan, the deputy factory manager also found a relationship to get several heavy tank designs from the domestic and Maoxiong research in the last century. He also subcontracted the project and found multiple research institutes to work together.

In less than a week, under the fiddling of a group of old guys headed by Lao Shen, the heavy tank scheme that integrated the world's best technology in the 1950s with the IS-7 shell and the "old five-nine" core appeared in a complete manner. up.

According to computer simulations, this retro tank has basically achieved the optimization of firepower, armor, and mobility. It can be domineering on the land battlefield sixty years ago, and it can be regarded as the strongest heavy tank.
