Chapter 169 Production Doubled (Subscription Required)

In the production workshop, diesel engines are being produced.

The cast engine body is being processed on the CNC machine.

The entire diesel engine is made of titanium alloy.

The CNC machine is processing the engine body with high precision.

After the engine body is processed, the engineers use tools to slowly move the body to the workbench, and then use tools to check one by one.

Liu Tao also uses the system to scan the processed body. After two days of high-precision CNC machine processing, it was finally completed today.

Liu Tao nodded slightly. After high-precision processing by the five-axis machining center, it did meet the design requirements.

After the engineers measured the data, there were no problems, so they began to use the machine to engrave a unique serial number on the body. This serial number is equivalent to the ID card of the diesel engine. Each diesel engine has its own unique serial number, and a corresponding file will be established based on the serial number.

Afterwards, the two engineers began to check every corner of the body to ensure that there were no cracks, burrs and other small defects, and then the engineers used tools to lift the crankshaft and install it in the body.

The crankshaft, also known as the heart of the engine, is of great importance.

The engineers followed the procedures and continuously assembled the various parts. Liu Tao participated in the whole process and kept an eye on it. If there was any problem, he would pick it out immediately.

Everyone was very careful in making the engine.

Finally, a brand new engine was completed.

"Next, we will test it!" Liu Tao said.

Although he knew that there was no problem with the engine, he still followed the requirements and tested the engine.

Then the engineers began to test the diesel engine and recorded the test data one by one. Some people tested and reported the data, and some people recorded the data.

"Director, there is no problem with the test data!" Li Hua couldn't help but said excitedly.

Others couldn't help but applaud.

This was the first time they used CNC high-precision machine tools to produce an engine throughout the process, but Liu Tao did it himself, and Liu Tao only needed to stand aside.

Seeing an advanced diesel engine born in his own hands, this excitement and sense of accomplishment filled his heart.

"Good, very good!" Liu Tao couldn't help but say.

This means that he no longer needs to participate in the manufacturing of the engine throughout the process, and only needs to conduct the final quality inspection, which will undoubtedly save him a lot of time.

And at the current speed, one engine can be produced in three days, and ten engines can be produced in a month, which is undoubtedly a great improvement in efficiency.

As long as another high-precision CNC machine tool is built to improve the engine body processing capacity, the engine production efficiency will be doubled again, that is, two engines can be produced in three days, twenty engines can be produced in a month, and two hundred and forty engines can be produced in a year.

The engine is undoubtedly the power heart of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and tanks.

The increase in engine production means that the production speed of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and tanks will also increase.

This is a good start. Although this is a temporary tank production plant, it will support the delivery of tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns in the first two years.

Moreover, a group of engineers can be trained here, so that after the tank manufacturing plant is built, it can be put into production quickly, without having to spend two or three years to train workers.

"This engine will be transported to the final assembly plant. After the engine is produced, it will be placed in the inspection room first. After I check that there is no problem, I will send it to the final assembly plant." Liu Tao said.

These workshops were originally intended to produce firearms. Later, because they were going to produce tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, the workers in the workshops that were originally scheduled to produce firearms were transferred to other branches.

After all, other branches also have production workshops, and the second and third phases of the project are under construction, and the scale is not much worse than that of the Panshan Machinery Factory.

Some are even larger than the Panshan Machinery Factory.

"Understood, Director!" Li Hua said.

As high-tech people, they are most pragmatic. When they came to Panshan Machinery Factory, Liu Tao repeatedly emphasized to them that they should be down-to-earth and pragmatic.

They also admire capable people the most, and they admire Liu Tao's technology.

Even in the minds of most people, Liu Tao is regarded as a teacher.

After all, they used to produce 520 horsepower diesel engines. Who would have thought that one day they would be able to produce such advanced diesel engines.

Liu Tao taught them a lot and let them learn a lot.

For Liu Tao's words, they followed them to the letter, just like students listening to their teachers.

With the help of tools, the workers spent more than half an hour to transport the diesel engine to the final assembly plant. Although the diesel engine is not very large, it weighs 1.8 tons!

The diesel engine was sent to the final assembly plant. The lifting equipment easily lifted the 1.8-ton diesel engine and then slowly placed it in the tank body, where there was a place for the diesel engine.

Liu Tao frowned slightly. After all, the conditions were limited. If the tank manufacturing plant was built and the equipment and tools were complete, it would not be so troublesome.

The largest lifting equipment there can even lift 70 tons of weight. There are all kinds of lifting equipment, including special lifting equipment for lifting engines and lifting equipment for lifting turrets. Even the largest lifting equipment can directly lift tanks.

It’s just that here, since it was not originally used for tank production, everyone has to work harder.

As Liu Tao almost doesn’t have to participate in the production and manufacturing of engines, saving a lot of time and energy, he can also breathe a sigh of relief.

Next, as long as a high-precision CNC machine tool for processing engine bodies is developed, the engine production can be doubled. Liu Tao optimistically estimated that before the Spring Festival, there is hope that 20 tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns can be produced per month, which is already very impressive.

With thousands of technical backbones, hundreds of professors or researchers from scientific research institutes, and various machine tools, Liu Tao is actually quite satisfied with such a production, after all, it is in the early stage of familiarization.

When the tank manufacturing plant is built later, the same group of people can produce thousands of tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns in a normal year.

If we wait until the supporting factories are supported and many parts are handed over to the supporting factories or branch factories for manufacturing, the production capacity will be even greater.

It takes time to produce high-end CNC machine tools, and it also takes time to train technical backbones. These researchers and professors also need time to learn, and even the construction of tank manufacturing plants also needs time.

Liu Tao has now accepted that everything that cannot be achieved overnight requires a certain amount of time to wait. After all, not everyone can cheat like him.
