Chapter 43

Xie Kai gets more excited as he speaks.

The magic modification of 59 tanks is the most magical modification of tanks in the whole world.

Xie Jianguo listened very carefully at the beginning, picking up the pen from time to time and recording in the work notebook he carried with him, which made Xie Kai even more excited.

This made Xie Kai, who had never been affirmed by his father, how unexcited.

As soon as I said it, I couldn’t stop it, and Xie Jianguo was dumbfounded.

“…Based on the 59 tank chassis, self-propelled artillery can be developed and changed to double 37 anti-aircraft guns and double 57 anti-aircraft guns…”

“Ahem, Xie Kai, what about the fire control system…” Xie Jianguo had to interrupt his conjecture when he saw his son spit wildly.

“Uh… Dad, we mean the fire control system.”

“These various modifications based on 59 tank technology have nothing to do with fire control?” Xie Jianguo doubted whether his son was smart or stupid.

Xie Kai shook his head, “Dad, this has a big relationship. In addition to the 627 factory and the Zhongtiaoshan 541 tank base, we also have a full set of 59 tank production technology and production capacity! Did you forget?”

The role of this base is not only research, but also an important function is combat readiness!

After the Sino-Soviet relations were guilty, the country began to build the third-line project, the 404 base, which was the backup of the China Nuclear 404 Plant in Yumen to the north. After all, the Soviets helped to build and understand the situation.

The relationship between the two is not good. The big Soviet Union still wants to bully people. In this northwest, the transportation of equipment from other places is too far. Besides, the entire north is their attack area.

Later, the chiefs all together, they got, anyway, a sheep is driven, and a group of sheep is also driven. The Qilian Mountain is as big as it is still in the desert. It is not easy to find the Soviets after the invasion, so just make it bigger.

The Soviet Union has really invaded, and heavy weapons and equipment can be produced in the Northwest…

If it were not for the production of tanks during the war, the scale of Hongqi Machinery Factory would not have been so large.

Xie Jianguo was stunned at his son’s unconstrained thoughts.

“I said you are not sleepy? Can’t discuss tomorrow? Don’t look at what time it is. When you wake up, the number will sound…” Liu Xu went to bed early, got up to drink water now, and saw the father and son. Still discussing.

“You go to bed first.” Xie Jianguo said to Liu Xu, and then asked Xie Kai, “Let’s talk about using tank chassis for excavators first. Our base has more than two hundred chassis in stock, so don’t say it just to show off. Get out.”

The son said that the fire control system was too far away, and Xie Jianguo felt that he had to deal with the matter first.

“Is there anything to show off? Most people know it. It’s hidden in the hole under the jujube grove to the west of the base…” Xie Kai said with a curled mouth.

After all, the tank chassis is not weaponry, and most people don’t know what it is.

No one can move, nor are they afraid of being stolen.

There are no guards.

When the Sino-Soviet relationship was the most tense, a batch of chassis was transported over every three to five and stored in the underground factory warehouse. As long as they were subjected to some finishing processes, they could be assembled. There were also reserves in the tank and gun base.

As long as China and the Soviet Union go to war, the base will soon be able to assemble hundreds of tanks to support the front line.

Xie Kai they used to run there when they were young.

Xie Jianguo was even more surprised, he thought it was particularly confidential.

“In fact, I know that the base has that stuff, so I said that I can build an excavator. The excavator is not as complicated as a tank. It does not need armor or a tank gun. The tank engine is under the rotating part, and the upper turret is removed to protect the armor. Not at all. Adding the cockpit and the rotating fork of the excavator to the original turret is OK…”

There is a mature plan for changing the 59 tank to an excavator, and Xie Kai does not need to consider it at all.

Of course, in the face of his father, he certainly couldn’t say that.

This has become his idea.

“But the tank chassis is for military use, and it is different from the imported excavators on the market.” Xie Jianguo kept in mind that the 59 tank turret was removed, and then the cockpit and working cantilever were added.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

How do you think, how do you feel weird.

What’s more, the tank chassis is a military material. It is not certain whether the military will agree to it. This may involve secrets.

And unlike other excavator chassis, this makes others may not accept it.

“Dad, you can’t think like that. The chassis is for military use, and the production of tanks is for military use; for producing civilian products, is it still military? For ordinary people, military industry is the guarantee of quality! Why are domestic people willing to use prices? Higher imported excavators instead of domestic ones? The quality is not good! The efficiency is not good!” Xie Kai was a little bit dumbfounded about his father’s thoughts.

This is the sorrow of being out of the market and not understanding the market.

In the entire base, there is probably no one who knows the market outside.

Unlike other state-owned units or military-to-civilian units, people can be sent everywhere to investigate.

404 is too closed.

Xie Kai knows that no one on the entire base is willing to accept the sequence of leaving the defense science and technology workers.

This is Dongfeng City!

Dongfeng City has created countless miracles.

“What’s more, when it is done, we don’t need to sell it to civilian users. Don’t our military have an engineering unit? The engineering unit is not divided into infrastructure, hydropower, etc.? They are engaged in construction, and there is a huge demand for such products! “Xie Kai was prepared to do this from the beginning, just to pay attention to the orders for the engineering unit.

“Yes, they are considered the richest unit in our army.” Xie Jianguo nodded.

Although these engineering teams are militarized management, they can also be said to be enterprises.

Financially independent accounting, self-financing.



Since the beginning of reform and opening up, the country has been engaged in infrastructure construction, and these troops can be said to be the richest troops in the military.

“Which soldier doesn’t want to carry a gun or open a tank? Although we are just an excavator, chassis, road wheels, and engines are all the same as 59… Engineers would not like it?” Xie Kai smiled triumphantly.

If you have money and need it, you are naturally not afraid that the engineering unit will not buy it.

Xie Jianguo kept nodding and praised his son for his unique vision, which is considered military.

He still likes to engage in military products, although not for war.

In this way, the resistance of other comrades will also be reduced. You can’t discriminate against the engineering troops not the troops, right?

“Actually, to engage in excavators, we need to do the least work and have less technical difficulty, and we will be able to achieve results soon. The most difficult thing is the hydraulic system. When I was in the Shanghai stock market, I observed the front bucket and needed Convert the engine’s power into hydraulic pressure and act on the tooth roots at the edge of the bucket… Dad, you take out a few drawings, which are not easy to explain…” Xie Kai continued to analyze for the old man.

Let the old man figure it out, and then arrange it for others.

The chief engineer is mainly responsible for overall control, technical guidance and so on. He does everything by himself, so he can’t be too busy?

Xie Jianguo took out some A3 drawing papers, emptied the coffee table, put them on top, and handed a 2B pencil to Xie Kai.

Xie Kai grabbed the pencil and directly drew the excavator’s big arm, forearm, and the sketch of the hydraulic support rod on it, and then drew a bucket and it was done.

It’s good to be able to see and understand.

“This is the structure of the working part of the excavator. You see, this is the boom part. When the hydraulic support rod is retracted, the boom hangs down, stretches out, and stands up. The most stressed part of the entire working part is this…

“This is the forearm part. When you retract it, pull the forearm to open it out… Then stretch it out, and the forearm is retracted inward under the drive of the hydraulic support…”

“The bucket is driven by the hydraulic support on the forearm, and the digging force is also determined by the hydraulic pressure.”

Xie Kai pointed to the various parts of the sketch and kept explaining to Dad.

Xie Jianguo had never seen an excavator. Xie Kai pointed to the picture and told him, and he understood.

“The design of the hydraulic part is indeed a problem.” Xie Jianguo nodded, hoping that his son would tell him how to calculate.

Xie Kai looked at the look in his father’s expectant eyes and rolled his eyes directly, “Dad, I don’t know how to calculate it. Otherwise, where do I need a technician?”

“By the way, there is also an operating system. This is different from a tank. You have to add a device to control the shovel arm…” Xie Kai finished speaking and hit Hatch.

Looking up at the wall clock on the wall, it was five o’clock.

“Dad, I can’t carry it, I have to sleep. Don’t think about it. Organize a meeting tomorrow. Anyway, the structure of the excavator is just like this, not complicated. The study of the hydraulic system is about the hydraulic and support system of the mining machinery. It is also beneficial, and it can even be used in the tank’s gun stabilization system…” Xie Kai knows how important the hydraulic system will be in the future.

It goes deep into almost all automation fields.

Hongqi Machinery Factory is not bad in technical strength. Only by working hard in this area and accumulating rich experience will the road ahead be broad.

“Don’t sleep in a hurry, talk about the cockpit under the tank, how to deal with the battle compartment!” Xie Jianguo was a little confused. “If only the engine part is kept, the rotating part on it will not be easy to install. If it is not removed, it will cause leakage…”

Xie Kai’s eyes almost can’t be opened.

The things about cabbage these days, and his thinking about how to make his industry safer, did not sleep well at all.

Dad often stayed up late and worked overtime to get used to it.

In addition, the body is still developing, and the need for sleep is higher.

“Dad, how could the engineering unit leak the secrets? Besides, the tank chassis is just a chassis, and a board is added to the wheels on both sides. Just remove the extra parts. It really doesn’t work. Put the engine on the slewing gear. But that’s it. I don’t think engineers would like it…Of course, tank guns and turrets, more than ten tons, can be driven by rotating gears…” Xie Kai squinted his eyes and walked to the room.

When Xie Jianguo heard this, he slapped his head.

It is true, just install the engine on it.

But then I thought about it, Xie Kai was right, if it was installed on the engineering unit and it was no longer needed, wouldn’t it be a waste of work?

“Don’t worry, ask another question…” He grabbed Xie Kai.
