Chapter 102: Being Calculated

"From now on, rifle bullets will be the same as pistol bullets and no longer need to pass my inspection."

Liu Tao wiped his sweat and ordered.

Picked up the green kettle and took a swig of water.

"Yes, factory director!" the three quality inspectors replied in unison.

There was joy on their faces.

This represents Liu Tao's affirmation and trust in their quality inspection department.

Their efforts over the past year have finally convinced Liu Tao of their quality inspection capabilities.

Of the thirty people in the entire quality inspection department, Liu Tao was scolded the most.

But now the clouds and mist are finally cleared to see the sky, and the clouds are clearing to see the moonlight!

The production of pistol bullets and rifle bullets is very mature, and Liu Tao is relieved.

However, when inspecting heavy machine gun bullets, the pass rate still fell short of the target set by Liu Tao.

The bullet qualification rate set by Liu Tao is 99%.

The passing rate for pistol bullets and rifle bullets has now been reached.

However, the heavy machine gun bullets are still far from satisfactory, with a pass rate of only 80%, and this is after previous inspections, where unqualified bullets have been picked out.

Although the 80% pass rate seems very high, it is still 19% short of the 99% pass rate.

The difference of 19% may not seem big, but you need to know the plan of Panshan Machinery Factory. The annual output of heavy machine gun bullets will reach 100 million rounds!

This means that a 19% difference would result in 19 million more rounds of substandard bullets.

The production cost of one heavy machine gun bullet is nearly one yuan, and wasting an extra 19 million rounds of heavy machine gun bullets would be a loss of tens of millions!

As for the qualification rate of special ammunition, it is even lower.

Liu Tao was also helpless about this. He knew that it would take time to improve the pass rate.

The improvement of workers' skills is not achieved overnight, but takes time to polish.

It took Liu Tao four full days to inspect all the weapons and ammunition, and he once again resumed the routine of only needing to go to the quality inspection room for one hour every day.

Liu Tao then focused his main energy on researching armored vehicle technology.

In the blink of an eye, a week flies by.

After bidding farewell to the working group of the Fifth Machinery Department, Liu Tao had to go to Kunming again.

The water conservancy and hydropower expert group finally completed the preliminary planning and design, and he needed to attend the meeting.

In the conference room, the chief engineer in charge of this project, 'Li Daozong', introduced: "Dear leaders, after our research during this period, it is recommended to build a reservoir here in Yiliang County. This is the middle and lower reaches of the Nanpan River in the Pearl River Basin, not far from Yiliang County. 28km, 60 kilometers from Kunming City, and 20 kilometers from Panshan Machinery Factory."

"Choose here. The dam site controls a watershed area of ​​4,556 square kilometers. It is recommended to use a concrete face rockfill dam. The maximum dam height is 103m, the dam crest length is 309.8m, the multi-year average flow rate at the dam site is 48.4 cubic meters/second, and the annual runoff is 1.53 billion. cubic meters, the normal water storage level of the reservoir is 1. The total storage capacity is 437 million cubic meters, the effective storage capacity is 255 million cubic meters, the total installed capacity of the behind-dam power plant is 320,000 kW, the designed power generation is 1.6 billion kWh, and the annual average is 1.2 billion kWh.”

"After completion, in addition to meeting the water and electricity needs of Panshan Machinery Factory's current factory and three planned factories, it can also meet the total irrigation area of ​​378,100 acres."

"The total investment is about 200 million yuan."

Liu Tao secretly murmured in his heart that it seemed to satisfy Panshan Machinery Factory's current and future plans, but in fact it was carrying private goods.

Such a large storage capacity, such a large power generation capacity, and even the irrigation area are all considered.

This is not even pretending.

"Comrade Liu Tao, what do you think of this planning plan?" The leader looked at Liu Tao with a smile.

Liu Tao looked embarrassed and pondered for a moment, "Leader, this plan is naturally excellent, but our Panshan Machinery Factory also has a heavy burden. Most of the money will be used for construction. After the reservoir is built, the local area will also benefit. "More, how about this, our Panshan Machinery Factory will provide 100 million funds, and the remaining funds will be provided by the province?"

"No problem!" the leader said without hesitation.

Liu Tao's eyes widened. He felt like he was being plotted against.

Then he suddenly realized that the expert team must have exaggerated the total investment. The total investment was 200 million yuan. If it was 100 million yuan, it would not be impossible to build it.

Then consider that the total cost of the Maojiacun Reservoir Dam is between 70 million and less than 80 million, and including the hydropower station, the total is estimated to be less than 100 million.

As expected, it was the old fox. This calculation was powerful enough. In the final analysis, Panshan Machinery Factory paid the bill.

But he could only nod in agreement, because the resettlement and demolition work had to be done within the province, and the construction of the reservoir also had to be organized within the province.

After all, the construction of such a large reservoir requires tens of thousands of people to be organized to start construction. Panshan Machinery Factory does not have that ability.

"In this case, we will deepen this plan and report it to the country." The leader said.

The province does not have the right to approve such large reservoirs and must report them to the higher authorities.

However, when a place like this builds a project with its own money, the bosses usually don't have any difficulties.

As long as you don't ask for money from your superiors, it's naturally best to talk to them.

After returning to Panshan Machinery Factory, Liu Tao continued to invest in the technical development of armored vehicles.

When I have free time, I write letters and fully experience the love letters of this era.

As for making phone calls, Liu Tao's place is convenient, but Zhu Lin's place is not.

Writing letters is the main channel for them to contact each other.

Time passed unknowingly until late January. All orders for Jordan were ready and were continuously loaded and shipped to Kunming Railway Station, where they would be loaded and shipped to Guangzhou.

For such a large order, basically each batch was hundreds or thousands of tons, and it would take about thirty train carriages to deliver it.

Liu Tao did not need to contact Wang Baoguo, but directly contacted his father Liu Zhenbang.

It can be said that there were many fewer links in the middle.

The order for Jordan was completed, but Panshan Machinery Factory still had to prepare for the order for Syria.

The pistol bullets and rifle bullets were not newly produced bullets, but were transferred from the arsenal in Kunming to clear the inventory, and the corresponding bullets produced by Panshan Machinery Factory were added.

The entire Panshan Machinery Factory was developing at a high speed, and the output was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The arrival of batches of medical staff and teachers at Panshan Machinery Factory also made the young men of Panshan Machinery Factory like chicken blood.

The most common place to go after get off work is the mall, hoping to meet nurses and teachers.

As for work, it is more serious than before.

If you don't work hard, you will not only not get a house, but also be looked down upon by women, and you will not be able to find a partner.

This involves lifelong happiness, so they have no choice but to work hard.

The production workshop that Liu Tao goes to most often is the production workshop of heavy machine guns, heavy sniper rifles, and anti-aircraft machine guns. To complete the orders, it can be said that this aspect of production is the most important.

And the number of people in the production workshop is also increasing.

In addition, Liu Tao goes to the new production workshop to repair and install machinery and equipment. These production workshops will be put into use soon.

During this period, the educated youth from several nearby towns were almost absorbed by Panshan Machinery Factory. After all, these educated youths have at least junior high school education, and some have high school education, or even university education.

There are even professors who were sent here for labor reform, and these were also brought to Panshan Machinery Factory by Liu Tao through channels.
