Chapter 452 What the Hell, Building a Tank? !

January 1956!

Life is on the right track, and He Yuzhu returned to work at the 304 Research Institute after his vacation. Because of the successful research on seamless steel pipes, the status of the 14th Department within the 304 Research Institute has skyrocketed, and it has become one of the most popular departments in the institute. Its level of attention is comparable to that of senior researchers such as Zhang Lan and Chen Xingye. A department led by oneself.

This result naturally inspired the researchers in the 14th Department, and everyone felt proud. Being able to conduct scientific research and work in the 14th Department is a face-saving thing for everyone.

As the chief of the 14th Department, He Yuzhu was currently in the No. 1 Research Building, having a discussion meeting with Chen Xingye, Zhang Lan and other leaders within the institute.

After some exchanges, Chen Xingye announced the adjournment of the meeting, but He Yuzhu did not leave immediately. Instead, they waited until Chen Xingye and Zhang Lan came over.

"Zhuzi, you should have read the documents recently issued by the Ministry of Military Industry."

He Yuzhu nodded after hearing this.

During the few days he was resting, the Ministry of Military Industry had conducted many studies and discussions on seamless steel pipes. Finally, relevant documents were issued.

The most critical one is the application technology of seamless steel pipes.

As the Ministry of Military Industry and organizations rolled out the 100 mm diameter seamless steel pipe technology, all walks of life, as long as they are suitable for seamless steel pipes, have ushered in a round of upgrading.

Among them, the most critical thing is the underlying technology of seamless steel pipes. Therefore, in the future, in addition to carrying out its own research tasks, the 14th Section will also need to cooperate with major teams that may come to ask for advice. Only in this way can it better play the strategic role of seamless steel pipes.

In fact, if He Yuzhu's registered residence, family and job were not all settled in Sijiu City, the organization would very much hope to transfer He Yuzhu to the north.

After all, at He Yuzhu's current age, the talent and achievements he has shown are enough to be taken seriously by some people in the organization.

Seamless steel pipes involve strategic national defense technology. Even in an industrial city like the north, He Yuzhu will definitely be reused.

However, the above discussed this matter with He Yuzhu before, but was declined by Zhu Zhu.

Putting aside everything else, even in terms of personal emotional factors, it is impossible for He Yuzhu to abandon his big family and leave his hometown to go to the north.

Not to mention, the reason for going to the north is just because the heavy industry there has good conditions, strong technology, and complete infrastructure.

Although Sijiu City is lagging far behind these days, He Yuzhu is not worried at all. He has a system by his side, and his personal improvement will not be limited by the environment.

What's more, in the north, although the infrastructure is very good, the personnel are relatively more complex. That is a key area for Big Brother's assistance. Not only are there talents from the Rabbit Country, but also talents who have been assisted by others. In addition, the atmosphere created by being helped by others for a long time makes He Yuzhu not necessarily able to accept it. Gotta get that vibe.

On the contrary, when He Yuzhu stayed in Sijiu City, he could devote himself wholeheartedly to his work. Moreover, the technology and machinery and equipment they developed were completely self-produced and self-developed in the country, so they were not afraid of being stuck.

After Chen Xingye looked at Zhu Zhu, he also sighed: "Zhu Zhu, although I am very pleased with your decision, I still feel guilty in my heart. We are afraid that the environment here will delay you."

Chen Xingye also spoke his mind at this time.

Logically speaking, for an outstanding comrade like Zhu Zhu, Chen Xingye would like to keep him in the 304 Research Institute for the rest of his life. In this way, whatever achievements Zhu Zhu achieves in the future will be revealed to him. After all, he is the director of the 304 Research Institute.

But out of consideration for the entire country, Zhu's talent should be used in a better place.

Professor Zhang Lan also had this idea, but she knew more about Zhu Zhu and understood that since Zhu Zhu made such a choice, it meant that Zhu Zhu had already thought about it, so she didn't say anything more.

And He Yuzhu, just like before, smiled and explained to Chen Xingye: "Director, there is no need to say this again in the future. I, He Yuzhu, am now a member of the 304 Research Institute. There is no need to delay, because The country's work is the same everywhere. If it is what you say, then when our 14th Department was first established to study seamless steel pipes, who would have expected that it would be successful? Where there is a will, there is a way. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. Wouldn’t it be better if we do our own research and are not restricted by others?”

What Zhu Zhu said made Chen Xingye's eyes move, and his vision seemed to suddenly become enlightened.

"It's a good thing that where there is a will, there is a way. It's a good thing that one is not limited by others. Zhuzi, if our country has young people like you, its future development will definitely not be worse than that of foreign countries!"

…

Dismissed from the research building. He Yuzhu went directly to the laboratory of the 14th Department.

Now, because of the achievements of the Fourteenth Department, the institute has directly allocated a room on the first floor to the Fourteenth Department. In other words, the entire second floor of the laboratory in the experimental building is used by the fourteenth department.

There are a total of four laboratories and two offices. This kind of treatment alone is considered unique within the institute.

As for this treatment, the other departments and researchers were not dissatisfied at all. After all, the achievements of the 14th department are here. On the contrary, it has aroused the envy of many researchers for the 14th department. Many researchers are thinking about finding an opportunity to enter the 14th department.

When He Yuzhu arrived at the second floor of the laboratory building, the people in the 14th department were proofreading and optimizing some data in the laboratory.

"He Ke, you are here."

Seeing He Yuzhu coming, everyone greeted him politely. However, He Yuzhu did not put on the airs of a section chief. He just stepped forward skillfully, looked at the experiments being done by everyone, and occasionally helped to give a few words. This kind of research and discussion atmosphere is rare even in the research institute. Therefore, the reputation of the 14th department is not entirely based on the achievements of seamless steel pipes. He Yuzhu's personal charm also played a certain role.

Because the seamless steel pipe project had just been completed, there were no other specific projects in the 14th Department. They were all scattered, technical repair and maintenance work.

This was understandable. After all, such a big task had just been completed. Although he had rested for three days, no one could find fault with the results he had achieved even if he rested for a while longer.

After walking around, He Yuzhu went to his office soon. He did not do anything special. Although the 14th Department had allocated two offices, He Yuzhu still insisted that everyone should work together and not have separate offices. Therefore, there were six or seven other researchers in his office.

After returning to his position, He Yuzhu looked at the daily newspaper he had subscribed to as usual. After understanding the daily information, he took out his notebook to study and summarize.

In this state, He Yuzhu unconsciously took the blank drawing and scribbled a few strokes on it with a pencil in his hand.

After the successful breakthrough of seamless steel pipes, He Yuzhu's eyes officially fell on the military industry.

Basic industry is a long-term and slow way to improve the country's strength. On the one hand, we must focus on basic industry, and on the other hand, it is naturally military heavy industry. If we break through research, the improvement of strength will undoubtedly be obvious and significant.

After tasting the sweetness of seamless steel pipes, He Yuzhu occasionally had some design ideas in his mind during the rest days.

Now, with the drawings and pencils, He Yuzhu couldn't help his divergent thinking.

Some things that later generations saw on various military parade screens appeared in his mind. Although the technology of this era is very backward and it is not possible to make such exaggerated heavy weapons in later generations, there are models, ways, and He Yuzhu's deep knowledge of mechanical industry in his mind to support it. He Yuzhu quickly drafted a few sketches.

When He Yuzhu came back to his senses and saw the appearance of the drawings on these sketches, he couldn't help but smile.

"The design of the barrel, rifling, and warhead..."

On these sketches, there are only a few strokes, but there are various parts and weapons. To laymen, they may be drawings of some barrels, but if people in the industry take a look, they will definitely be shocked.

After all, this is not a casual drawing. Some key parts on it are really supported by parts design. In fact, many of them are things that do not exist in this era. This is why He Yuzhu, a time traveler, has this concept after seeing the design of advanced weapons in later generations.

Of course, the specific parameters are still not worth scrutinizing, and many processes and parts are not achievable with the current productivity. But He Yuzhu got a lot of inspiration from this.

"Perhaps, the next project of the 14th Department can consider building a domestic tank?"

When this idea came out of He Yuzhu's mind, he couldn't help but laugh.

After all, this thing sounds very fantasy. A small research institute department, whose last task was to make seamless steel pipes, is now going to make tanks. Not to mention the research institute, the Ministry of Military Industry may not dare to think about this.

After all, with the current domestic technology, it is undoubtedly a foolish dream to say that a tank that is completely self-developed and self-produced is undoubtedly a foolish dream.

However, after laughing, He Yuzhu began to calculate the feasibility of this matter in his mind.

First of all, is it necessary for domestic tanks to appear in this era?

The answer is unquestionable. The current Rabbit Country needs heavy industry and military industry to enhance the country's strength more than ever. After all, after the founding of the country, it does not mean that everything is fine. Now the Rabbit Country is facing various challenges. Because of its lack of strength, sometimes even the superficial peace is difficult to maintain. Only when its own military industry is strong can it have the qualifications to communicate with others on an equal footing.

So, this path is definitely meaningful.

Next, it is the difficulty of domestic tanks.

Raw materials, steel, etc., judging from the current domestic production capacity, although it is a bit stretched, it is still worth investing resources if a breakthrough can be made in tanks.

Finally, the most important thing is the technology.

This is the part that He Yuzhu is most confident about. Although He Yuzhu cannot fully apply many future technologies to tanks of this era, only some of the technologies are enough for Rabbit Country to build its own powerful tanks.

Of course, this process is definitely not achieved overnight.

With the idea, He Yuzhu made some serious plans. Soon, the morning passed.

It was almost time for lunch. In the laboratory, researchers were preparing to go to the cafeteria for lunch. Someone noticed that He Yuzhu was still studying in the office.

"Chief He, take a break. Come back after lunch."

The voices of these comrades brought He Yuzhu, who was immersed in research, back to his senses. He looked at the various data and settings he had written in the morning, and there was a flash of excitement in his eyes.

"Well, let's eat. Research is not a one-day thing."

Seeing that Chief He was a little excited, several researchers looked at the table curiously. Because they knew that Section Chief He was a humble person, some people asked curiously: "Section Chief He, what are these? They don't look like seamless steel pipes to me..."

In everyone's opinion, the contribution of breaking through the 100-caliber seamless steel pipe technology is enough to study for a long time. In fact, if some researchers can achieve such an achievement in their lifetime, it is enough for them to talk about it for the rest of their lives. Therefore, everyone thought that Section Chief He was here to continue to optimize and study seamless steel pipes.

In this regard, He Yuzhu did not hide anything. After all, even if the tank was studied at that time, it would not be his business alone. It required the cooperation of the entire department and the entire institute.

"Well, these are some tank frames and various weapon units, but it is only an immature shell at present. The details need to be analyzed carefully. Okay, let's all go to eat."

"Hmm... Hmm?!!"

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, everyone did not react at the first time. When they realized what Section Chief He said, they all looked at him dumbfounded.

"Tank...tank?! Chief He, are you planning to build a tank?"

It's no wonder that several researchers reacted so strongly. After all, who would have thought that a good research institute could be turned into a military factory by Chief He?

The key is that if someone else said this, everyone would probably just laugh it off. But when it was Chief He who said this, not only would everyone not laugh, but they would really think in their hearts, could this thing really be made by Chief He? ? !
