Chapter 445 The Ministry of Military Industry Came to Visit, an Old Acquaintance!

Everyone in the department spoke up, all expressing their determination to not give up until they achieved their goal.

He Yuzhu looked at this scene and was also inspired to work hard, and directly announced to start the experiment!

…

Research Building No. 1.

In the office hall, Director Chen Xingye and Professor Zhang Lan and several senior researchers gathered together. In addition to exchanging some recent research and work, they talked most about the seamless steel pipe project of Department 14.

"Lao Zhang, have you read the experimental report of Department 14 last week?" Chen Xingye suddenly asked.

Zhang Lan nodded: "Well, in the laboratory, the latest achievement of Department 14 is the stable production of seamless steel pipes with a diameter of 93 mm."

When talking about this data, even Zhang Lan's tone was a little excited.

From 83 mm a month ago to 93 mm today, the results taught by Department 14 to the institute are undoubtedly shocking.

More than a month ago, they would never have thought that the country could reach the world's leading level in the field of seamless steel pipes.

That's right, judging from the 93mm seamless steel pipe, this technology is dazzling enough in the world.

Chen Xingye listened to Zhang Lan's words, and his eyes were moved: "Yes, 93mm caliber seamless steel pipe, and it is completely independently developed by us. Do you know what this means?"

"This means that our military industry will get a huge improvement! Guns and cannons, we no longer have to use those obsolete products, nor do we need to rely on others' charity and capture to update equipment. With 93mm seamless steel pipes, our country can produce good equipment by itself!"

As the director of the 304 Institute, Chen Xingye's considerations are naturally higher.

He also went to the north to study. Although the Bear Country implemented industrial assistance to the country, it was only for basic industries. They would not teach such cutting-edge technologies, especially those related to military industry.

Before 1953, due to the poor domestic technology, it was impossible to make seamless steel pipes by ourselves. The soldiers' guns, cannons, and front-line weapons were quite backward. When defending their country, they could only rely on their fearlessness to rush forward and pay a heavy price to get some results.

This spirit is certainly worthy of praise, but if there is a choice, who would like to see their own soldiers rush forward with their lives?

Therefore, the 76mm seamless steel pipe independently developed in 1953 was born. Although the technology is improving very slowly, it is always moving forward slowly.

In less than two months, the 14th Department has completed a triple jump, with the caliber rising from 76mm to 93mm. This was something that we dared not think of before!

"The 14th Department is currently doing a very important thing. Whether it succeeds or fails, they should be remembered by us. This morning I received a letter from the Ministry of Military Industry. They attach great importance to the research project of the 14th Department of our institute and decided to come to the institute for inspection. I hope everyone will actively cooperate at that time."

Chen Xingye also said a new news at this time.

It turned out that with the breakthrough in seamless steel pipe technology in the 14th Department, Chen Xingye also reported the report and achievements here to the Ministry of Military Industry.

After all, seamless steel pipes are more about military and heavy industry.

Therefore, not only the Ministry of Military Industry, but also the Ministry of Industry, Chen Xingye also contacted a document, but the Ministry of Military Industry was the first to reply.

The reason why Chen Xingye treated it so seriously was that the person who replied to him from the Ministry of Military Industry was the Minister of the Ministry of Military Industry!

...

Another three days passed.

Early in the morning of this day, three Jiefang brand military green trucks appeared at the gate of the 304 Institute.

The three trucks were parked in front of the gate of the institute in turn.

When the comrades of the Security Department saw this scene, their faces were also quite serious. After all, just looking at the three Jiefang brand trucks and some comrades standing on them with guns and ammunition and neat uniforms, you can know that these people are definitely not small.

Soon, after the Security Department asked for instructions, they opened the door to let these trucks pass.

After the three trucks parked, a total of thirty soldiers got off the trucks one after another.

Among them, there were two figures whose uniforms were obviously different from those of the people around them.

When they got off the car, Chen Xingye and several other senior researchers from the institute were standing there to greet them.

"Director Chen."

"You are... Minister Wang, right?"

After seeing the two, Chen Xingye also came over with a smile and greeted them. He had met the Minister of Industry several times at a certain conference before.

Seeing this, Wang Weiguo also nodded heavily: "Yes, Director Chen, we have met several times before. Later I heard that you went to the north to study? I didn't expect that your 304 Institute would produce such a talent!"

Hearing this, Chen Xingye also smiled heartily: "No way, this is Secretary Zhang, right? Let's go to the reception hall to rest for a while, and it's a good opportunity to exchange work..."

Next to Wang Weiguo, of course, was his old partner Zhang Chunming. That's right, the two were the team leaders who had a deep friendship with Zhuzi during the military control period. Later, due to external unrest, the two obeyed the organization's dispatch and made many military achievements outside. After demobilization, they were directly transferred to the Ministry of Military Industry, one as the minister and the other as the secretary, which was not much different from the division of labor in the military control team before.

After hearing Chen Xingye's words, Zhang Chunming shook his head, with some impatient expression on his face: "Director Chen, we don't need to take a break. After we received the research report and experimental finished product, we studied it for several days overnight. Now, you You have to take us to see this national talent!”

Zhang Chunming has read a lot of books and has a deeper understanding of the meaning of 93mm seamless steel pipes. Therefore, when he came this time, he was quite looking forward to meeting this talent who could develop 93mm seamless steel pipes.

After hearing Zhang Chunming's words, Chen Xingye could understand. After all, when he learned the news, he was much more anxious than Zhang Chunming. However, he still said: "You two don't know something. It's not that I don't want to take you to see it. The main reason is that the 14th Department is already carrying out a new round of experimental breakthroughs. It's just the fourth day now. Once they It’s time to get into work, which happens day and night, so if I go to them now, I’m afraid that they won’t be in good condition and communication will be delayed by then.”

After hearing this, Zhang Chunming said: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way. It's a good thing that the research comrades can have this kind of situation. Our country needs this kind of comrades who are dedicated to doing practical work. Director Chen, actually To be honest, when Lao Wang and I came here this time, we also attached great importance to this seamless steel pipe. Therefore, we first let the comrades in the 14th Department conduct research. If necessary, we can live in the dormitory of the institute for a few days. , I’m afraid that Director Chen will find us troublesome and won’t welcome us.”

"Secretary Zhang, are you kidding me? Minister Wang and Secretary Zhang want to stay in our research institute for a few more days. It's not too late for me to welcome you. In that case, I will arrange dormitories for you two when the time comes. You can also stay in our institute." Stay in the institute for a few more days, exchange and learn.”

Director Chen responded with a smile, but he was not surprised at all by the reaction of the two leaders of the Ministry of Military Industry. After all, as long as you know the inside story and the meaning of the 93mm seamless steel pipe, you can understand that the reactions of these two people are normal. Who wouldn’t care about this kind of technology?

Just when Chen Xingye was about to arrange for the two leaders of the Ministry of Military Industry, Youdao suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"Director... it's... done! The experiment in the 14th Department is over!!"

As the guy spoke, he almost didn't even catch his breath.

Chen Xingye was slightly startled after hearing this. Wang Weiguo and Zhang Chunming on the side looked at each other, both beaming with joy when they saw each other.

"Director Chen, it seems we came at the right time."

Zhang Chunming spoke. It was a coincidence that they happened to catch up with the end of the experiment in the 14th Department.

Chen Xingye also smiled when he saw this: "Yeah, I didn't expect that their experiment over there was over. That's good, let's go and see it together."

After learning the news, Chen Xingye and others did not hesitate anymore, turned around and headed towards the laboratory building.

…

The 14th Department Laboratory in the Experimental Building.

At this moment, everyone in the laboratory is excited!

On the table, there is a black seamless steel pipe.

The various measurement data on the side record the diameter of this seamless steel pipe - 100 mm!

It is exactly the same as the goal set by the 14 departments two months ago!

All the overtime work day and night during this period finally paid off at this moment! After the results came out, everyone was very excited at first. Now, many people just feel that they have made history!

After everyone came back to their senses, they all looked at He Yuzhu on the stage. If the impressive results achieved by the 14th Department this time can be said to have created history, then this person has played a mainstay role among them!

Without Section Chief He taking the lead, researching out design drawings, and discussing with the researchers in the department day and night, it would have been impossible to successfully develop this 100 mm seamless steel pipe!

And just when everyone in the fourteenth department was immersed in joy.

Chen Xingye and others also came outside the laboratory.

With Chen Xingye taking the lead, after several people opened the door and entered the laboratory, He Yuzhu and others also looked over.

"The director is here too!"

"This is a celebration for our fourteenth department!"

"Yes, I couldn't even think about it before switching to seamless steel pipes with a diameter of 100 mm!"

"Our technology, in the world, is not as good as Lao Mi or Mao Xiong!"

The people in the 14th Department were not surprised when they saw the director and others coming. Instead, they thought it was natural.

Their fourteenth department has achieved such excellent results, and the director must be proud of them!

"After Chen Xingye saw the reaction of the lab and others, he understood clearly that in this experiment, Zhuzi's leader probably made a big breakthrough." Pressing down the joy in his heart, Chen Xingye decided to introduce it to Zhuzi first. These leaders of the Ministry of Military Industry.

It was at this time that two exclamations sounded in unison.

"Pillar?"

"Pillar?!"

"Brother Wang? Brother Zhang?!"

Wang Weiguo, Zhang Chunming and He Yuzhu exclaimed at the same time when they saw each other.

Both sides looked at each other in surprise.

This actually made Chen Xingye, who was planning to introduce the two parties, a little stunned.

What's going on? I haven't introduced him yet. Does Zhuzhu know the two leaders of the Ministry of Military Industry? ?

Chen Xingye looked at both sides with doubts.

And He Yuzhu walked over quickly.

"Brother Wang and Brother Zhang are really you guys!"

After confirming that he had read it correctly, He Yuzhu's face was filled with joy! He really didn't expect that he would still be able to see these two brothers!

After the military control ended, Wang Weiguo and Zhang Chunming followed the organization out of Forty-Nine City. After that parting, they didn't know if they would have a chance to meet again in the future. After all, although the country has just been founded, the current situation at home and abroad is still very turbulent. For soldiers like Wang Weiguo, peace is what they leave to their families who are waiting behind them. Only by their hard work on the front line can they buy stability at the rear.

When Wang Weiguo and Zhang Chunming saw Zhu Zhu's slightly grown face, their faces were filled with excitement!

"Okay Zhuzhu, you boy, what did I say back then, you are destined to be promising!"

After reacting, Wang Weiguo and Zhang Chunming stepped forward and patted Zhu Zhu on the shoulder. They also didn't expect that this outstanding talent who attracted so much attention in the Ministry of Military Industry was actually Zhuzi!

When they first parted, Wang Weiguo and Zhang Chunming thought deeply about Zhu Zhu. After all, they both believed that Zhu Zhu was a talented person who would definitely be successful in the future, but it was a pity that they could not take Zhu Zhu around to train him.

Later, the two of them had more experience outside, and they thought that it was just fine if Zhuzi didn't follow them. With Zhuzi's talent, even if he didn't come to the front line, he would definitely have great potential. But the two of them have always been thinking about Zhuzi. It was a feeling of missing my brother.

Now, it hasn't been long since they changed jobs and returned to the Military Industry Department of 49th City. They originally planned to find Zhuzhu after they established their feet, but they didn't expect that they would run into each other here.

Listening to the conversation between Wang Weiguo and Zhu Zhu, Chen Xingye seemed to understand something.

"Minister Wang, Secretary Zhang, Zhu Zhu, have you... known each other before?"

At this time, the three of them turned around and smiled and nodded at Chen Xingye.

"Yes, Director Chen, let's talk about it. My brothers haven't seen Zhuzi for several years. They originally planned to wait until the matter with the Ministry of Military Industry was settled before going to find Zhuzi. I didn't expect that. You guys should study This little comrade is actually a pillar!"

After a few people gave a brief explanation, Chen Xingye also understood.

Is there still such a relationship between the emotional pillar and these two leaders of the Ministry of Military Industry? ?
