Chapter 52 A Rare Leisure Time
The next day.
Liu Tao got up earlier than usual, just as the sky was getting light.
At this time, the bugle had already sounded.
The huge construction site was about to start construction.
Inside and outside the factory, it was like two different worlds.
Liu Tao breathed in the fresh air and stretched his body.
Since returning to Panshan Machinery Factory, he seemed much more relaxed today, without having to be tense.
Liu Tao took a rare walk in the factory early in the morning, listening to the birds singing and smelling the fragrance of flowers and plants.
Panshan Machinery Factory is located in a valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, with inconvenient external transportation and quite closed news. But from a certain perspective, it is a beautiful place with beautiful scenery.
The negative oxygen ions in the air here are absolutely high.
I don’t know how many urban white-collar workers dream of working in this environment 40 years later.
Liu Tao took a walk for a while, and then drove the 212 jeep to the construction site.
At this time, busy construction scenes can be seen everywhere.
With the huge investment of manpower, material and financial resources, the construction here is progressing at a speed that can be seen by the naked eye.
There are more than 5,000 workers. Although there is a lack of construction equipment and fewer bulldozers and excavators, the progress of the project is not slow.
At this speed, it is estimated that the project will be completed in another two months.
In order to ensure the safety of electricity and water use at Panshan Machinery Factory, three small reservoirs were built for this project, which are specially used for water and electricity supply. After completion, they will also be under the jurisdiction of Panshan Machinery Factory.
The construction of this reservoir required a lot of manpower. After all, the construction site of the dam is located in the deep mountains, with inconvenient transportation. A passage was opened up by force.
Now is the flood season, and Liu Tao is always worried about safety. After all, once the dam is destroyed, the loss will be great.
In theory, it is better to arrange the construction of the reservoir dam in the dry season in September, but time is tight, so we can only bite the bullet.
It also rained during this period, but fortunately the rain was not too heavy, so nothing happened.
"Director, there's a call from above, asking you to call back as soon as you get back." Someone in the office shouted as Liu Tao just returned to the factory.
Liu Tao walked to the office and asked, "Which unit is calling?"
"The Provincial Defense Management Office."
Liu Tao knew what was going on immediately after hearing this.
He picked up the phone, "I'm Liu Tao, the director of Panshan Machinery Factory. Please help me get the call from the Provincial Defense Management Office!"
Soon, the call was connected.
As Liu Tao expected, Wang Tiezhu called him to inform him that the expert group would arrive at Panshan Machinery Factory tomorrow to review the '78-type' sniper rifle submitted by Liu Tao, and asked Liu Tao to make corresponding preparations.
Liu Tao hung up the phone and began to arrange the corresponding work.
By now, the troops on the western front have begun to gradually return to their bases, and the situation has eased greatly.
However, the production tasks of Panshan Machinery Factory are still very heavy. The troops need to replace the '78-type' pistols, '78-type' automatic rifles, '78-type' light machine guns, and even a large number of '78-type' heavy machine guns.
As for the ‘Type 78’ heavy sniper rifle, the troops stopped purchasing it.
The ‘Type 78’ heavy sniper rifle was too expensive even if it was sold at a half price.
The ‘Type 78’ heavy sniper rifles provided before were enough for the front line, and the troops would not purchase them for the time being.
As for other firearms, the production tasks were still there, and the Panshan Machinery Factory was required to complete the basic production task indicators.
It can be seen that the troops no longer mentioned the replacement of the Type 63 automatic rifles, but the replacement of the Type 78 automatic rifles.
The ‘Type 78’ heavy sniper rifles produced in the past few days were all prepared to deliver the Iraqi army’s orders.
At noon, after lunch.
Liu Tao went to a production workshop, which had just been built and put into use.
The machines in the production workshop were all newly manufactured.
For Liu Tao, who had studied these machines thoroughly, it was not difficult to manufacture these machines.
This production workshop was specially used to produce the ‘Type 78’ heavy machine guns.
The production technology requirements of the '78-type' heavy machine gun are much higher than those of the '78-type' pistol and the '78-type' automatic rifle, and the production requirements of parts have been greatly improved.
The production of the '78-type' heavy machine gun is more complicated, which means that the same number of workers can only produce about one-fifth of the '78-type' heavy machine guns.
At this time, the workers are carefully producing and processing parts, and the qualified parts are transported to the assembly room for assembly.
Now this batch of workers can produce about 3 '78-type' heavy machine guns a day.
With continuous proficiency and continuous improvement in the qualified rate, this production capacity will be further improved.
"Director, you are here!" Wang Dehua greeted Liu Tao when he saw him coming.
Wang Dehua was promoted by Liu Tao to serve as the director of this production workshop, specializing in the production of the '78-type' heavy machine gun.
As the production workshops were built and put into use one by one, each production workshop was set up with a director.
Above the director, there is another person in charge, who is specializing in the production of a firearm.
For example, the 'Type 78' automatic rifle production workshop now has three production workshops and three workshop directors.
"How is the production going?" Liu Tao asked.
The production of heavy machine guns is related to whether he can complete the order.
"It went smoothly. Everyone is very serious and hard-working!" Wang Dehua said.
He originally produced machine guns. Because of his serious, hard-working and meticulous work, Liu Tao took a fancy to him and promoted him to the director of the heavy machine gun production workshop.
"That's good. You have a heavy burden!" Liu Tao nodded slightly.
The unqualified rate of heavy machine gun production is now high.
This is quite a headache for Liu Tao.
But he also knows that it takes time to improve the qualified rate. Workers need time to improve their level and time to understand. Only by learning in the process of making mistakes can they make progress.
The more advanced the firearms, the more complex they are, and the higher the technical level required of workers.
Now the production workshop can produce 3 qualified heavy machine guns every day, which has surprised Liu Tao to be honest.
Because at the beginning, none of the heavy machine guns produced were qualified, and he was so angry that he almost couldn't help but go himself.
But he had to resist this impulse. He knew very well that he couldn't produce it himself because one person's power was limited.
Just like at the beginning, only he could make heavy sniper rifles, and then with the slow teaching, other workers gradually learned how to make heavy sniper rifles, and slowly they could also produce heavy sniper rifles.
So sometimes when he was impulsive, Liu Tao would take a deep breath to calm himself down, instead of doing it impulsively.
"Don't worry, Director, I am confident that in two days, the number of heavy machine guns produced every day can be increased to 4, and next week we can produce 5 every day!" Wang Dehua said solemnly.
Although the production efficiency of heavy machine guns is low and the qualified rate is low, the production workshop also adopts three shifts.
Everyone is making continuous progress, which makes Wang Dehua very confident.
