Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

"The horsepower of this engine is now close to 900, which is much higher than the 700 horsepower originally required. What else are you not satisfied with?

In my opinion, you complain about the low horsepower because, on the one hand, your appetite is too big, and on the other hand, the tonnage is too large and the armor is too thick. You should streamline it if necessary, and don't always think about eating a fat man in one bite.

As for the poor infrared effect you mentioned, it will be time to slowly replace it after the materials and technology are upgraded.

The international situation has now eased significantly and external pressure has dropped sharply.

Except for Xiao Nannan who is still rotating, the Su country is bleeding.

Other places are basically not much different from Ma Fangnanshan.

Moreover, in my opinion, the importance and status of tanks will be greatly reduced in the next few decades.

There is no need to set the standard so high."

Fang Xiang hesitated for a while. If he remembered correctly, the horsepower of the Type 88 was only 730. This engine now has a horsepower of 880. What else could Mr. Yu be dissatisfied with, unless he wanted to launch a big satellite and reach the third-generation standard in one fell swoop.

You know, the Type 88 originally used a foreign power pack. If it weren't for Fang Xiang, it wouldn't have been able to use its own domestic power pack.

"Hey, it's easy for you to say that. We also know that the future belongs to the Air Force.

But there are so many people who rely on this for their livelihood, what will happen to them if you let them go?"

Qin Jun's face immediately wrinkled.

In fact, it has been widely recognized in the country now, and the future will be an era for the Air Force to shine.

But the rabbits are the most powerful land-based armed forces on Blue Planet after all.

It’s the same old saying, I can do without it, but I can’t live without it.

Besides, so many people rely on this for their livelihood, Fang Xiang can’t ruin their jobs, right?

What's more, even in the age of drones, tanks are not completely useless.

"Don't be nervous, brother.

What I'm saying is that the engine is already usable. If you're not satisfied with it, you can modify it slowly. I'm not asking you to let go of it completely.

Instead of spending a lot of time and money on the engine, it is better to put your energy elsewhere.

Besides, there are already 880 horsepower, isn't that enough for you guys?"

Fang Xiang shook his head. It seemed that Qin Jun was thinking too extreme.

"what do you mean?"

Qin Jun was thoughtful when he heard Fang Xiang's words.

"um, yes.

Let’s make a model first.

Military exercises, parades, etc., just go ahead when necessary.

Now that we are not going to be pulled out to fight, who knows what our situation is?

The successful development was publicized externally and the technical development of the next generation of products has begun.

Who knows whether we are telling the truth or not? "

After Fang Xiang finished speaking, he glanced at the office, walked forward, picked up the thermos, and poured a glass of water for both of them.

“It’s not like we haven’t done this before.

But if you really announce the success of the development, will the military place the order or not?"

Qin Jun took the cup of water that Fang Xiang handed over, put it on the table, and smoked heavily.

“In small batches.

You are using it and modifying it at the same time. What? Are you worried about the military?

How about I ask for you?"

Fang wanted to pick up the teacup and take a sip of water, only to find that he had forgotten to put tea leaves in it. The water had a rusty taste and he suddenly didn't want to drink it anymore, so he put it down.

"What does Mr. Yu say about that?"

Qin Jun did not doubt Fang Xiang's relationship with the military, but his boss was Mr. Yu.

As long as Mr. Yu nodded, he had no objection.

"Just say it was me who said it, Mr. Yu. I think he has a big appetite and we've spoiled him."

Fang Xiang also took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.

"What about the military?"

Qin Jun rolled his eyes. To be honest, Qin Jun is the deputy director of Institute 402.

But he really didn't want to save face.

If he said the same sentence and Fang wanted to say it, Mr. Yu’s attitude would probably be completely different.

But since Fang Xiang said it, it means he is willing to take this responsibility.

The only thing left is the military.

“The military is waiting for me too.

Last time I built a batch of cars, they never contacted me.

I just happened to come over to see what they were planning."

What Fang wanted to say was a smooth road ahead.

At the end of August, Ji Pengwei pulled a group of cars back to Beijing and was gone for two months.

It's October now and there's still no news.

Others may not be clear, but Fang Xiang knows it very well. If there is no news, it means it is good news.

If the military had called earlier, there would be no doubt that there would be no hope.

If he keeps silent now, he must be working on this matter behind the scenes.

If they don't say anything, it means they haven't landed. When the military speaks, I'm afraid they will place an order directly.

Fang Xiang was naturally not in a hurry, but since everyone was here, there was no harm in going and taking a look.

"What kind of cars? How many do you want to give me?"

Fang Xiang’s words immediately aroused Qin Jun’s curiosity.

As Fang Xiang's senior, the cars in the 402 Institute had long been replaced with a fleet of BMWs.

If the institute wasn't worried about being too high-profile, it wouldn't have always strictly required these vehicles to be driven out as little as possible.

But several senior executives and key management personnel almost all have a 115.

This not only earned Qin Jun a lot of face, but also made him speak a lot louder.

When I heard Fang Xiang say that a new batch of cars were being built, I wanted one immediately.

“No problem, but we have to wait for news from the military.

For this batch of vehicles, the military must be given priority.

There will be civilian versions later. Once the military gives its approval, I will send you a few civilian versions."

Fang Xiang didn't care about Qin Jun wanting a car.

“By the way, make another copy of these drawings while I’m still in the capital so I can take them away later.

Now that I'm back in Guangzhou, I can think about it when I have nothing to do. I'll see if I can help you think of a solution from a structural point of view and upgrade it to 1,000 horsepower."

Before Qin Jun could express his thanks, Fang Xiang pointed to the drawings on the table.

If it can be upgraded to a thousand horsepower, this engine can be used until level 99 as long as the serviceability rate is up to standard. Fang Xiang will naturally be interested in it.

"No problem, you can take this one."

When Qin Jun heard this, he became even happier. As long as Fang Xiang was willing to take over, it would be fine.

At least the burden on him was lightened a lot, and he could give an explanation to Mr. Yu and the institute.

After saying that, he immediately took out the thick stack of drawings from the safe with great effort.

“You should arrange for a liaison to send it over to me later.

I only have my secretary and students with me now, I can’t take so many away.”

Fang Xiang looked at the drawing that was thicker than his thigh and shook his head.

These are confidential drawings with a very high level of confidentiality.

He only has a few people following him now, so it's difficult to keep confidentiality.

"Send you to the military district?"

Qin Jun was stunned for a moment and immediately proposed a solution.

"Can you give me a few sample cars too?"

When Fang Xiang heard this, he knew that Qin Jun was planning to save trouble and go through the military channel, which was both safe and convenient, so he laughed immediately.

"No problem, I'll pull two over for you, is that enough?

If there are more, I’ll have to build new ones.”

Qin Jun had no idea what Fang Xiang said when he called Mr. Yu. In his opinion, as long as Fang Xiang wanted it, he would satisfy her.

"Okay, bring two over first, and then you can send me two more.

The Guangdong Provincial Military District is probably also interested in this thing, so let them try it out when the time comes.

It's close to Xiao Nan Nan, and maybe I can do an experiment for you."

Fang wanted to hold back his laughter. Old Yu was unwilling to send him to Yangcheng at first, but doesn't he have to send him there now?

"It's easy to give it to you, but you have to handle the formalities. I'm not as familiar with this as you are."

Qin Jun had no idea that he was only caring about Fang Xiang, but inadvertently sold out Old Yu.

"Okay, you still have to report to Mr. Yu anyway, so let him know first.

Elder Yu agreed. I happened to be with the military as well, so I can just let the military take over later."

Fang wanted to know that this matter would definitely require the approval of Old Yu.

As for the military, Fang Xiang was not worried that they would not agree. They would be more than willing to have new experimental products to play with for free.

The only question is whether Mr. Yu is willing to nod.

After all, this is someone else's project and their achievement.

"That being said, I have to go to the final assembly.

They've taken the car for two months, and it's time for them to give me an explanation."

Seeing that they had almost finished talking, Fang Xiang offered to take his leave.

“You have to take the engine seriously.

Even if you can't solve the problem completely, it would be helpful if you could help me optimize and upgrade it.

Don’t let me lose face, remember that.”

Qin Jun saw that Fang wanted to leave, and did not intend to stop him. He accompanied Fang Xiang out of the office.

But before leaving, he still gave some special instructions.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother. When have I ever let you lose face?"

Fang Xiang held the hand Qin Jun extended to him and replied with a smile.
