"Not tired? Director, you are kidding!" Song Weiguo didn't believe Zhou Tian's lies at all.

However, having said that, he knew in his heart that at present, there were countless people like the director who worked day and night for the prosperity of the country.

The most important thing is that he knows very well that once Zhou Tian makes a decision, no amount of persuasion can persuade him. Instead of wasting energy trying to persuade him, it would be better for him to pay more attention to it.

"Okay, let's not talk about the health issue. Brother Song, now that you're back, I'll leave the combine harvester issue to you. From now on, I will devote myself to the weapons and oxygen top-blown converter projects!"

Seeing that Song Weiguo didn't believe it, Zhou Tian stopped explaining and spoke with a serious face.

"Yes, I know!"

Song Weiguo nodded seriously. When it comes to serious matters, he never slacks off.

After the two men discussed the division of labor, Song Weiguo left the factory director's office and continued to work in the workshop.

Zhou Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes and rested for a while in the chair, and began to think about the next direction of weapon research. In fact, after a series of research and development by Zhou Tian, ​​the domestic weapons are basically not much different from those of the Bald Eagle Country in terms of light and heavy weapons.

Now, compared with the Bald Eagle Country, there is a big shortage of air defense weapons.

Speaking of air defense weapons, Zhou Tian couldn't help but think of Secretary Liu. In his previous life, the other party died under the bombing of enemy fighter planes. Fortunately, history has changed now. However, the lack of air defense weapons is indeed a shortcoming of my country's current national defense.

"How about researching anti-aircraft weapons?"

Zhou Tian began to ponder in his mind.

When talking about air defense weapons, we have to mention anti-aircraft missiles, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. Among these three types of air defense weapons, the role of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns has become weaker and weaker as the technology contained in aircraft has become more and more advanced, and they are gradually failing to keep up with the pace of the times.

On the contrary, it was the anti-aircraft missiles, which were not outdated even in the previous life. What impressed him most was the Dongfeng series of missiles in the previous life of our country. That kind of deterrence made him feel extremely at ease even if the outside world was in chaos.

If he remembered correctly, it seemed that the country already had the idea of ​​researching air defense missiles.

Therefore, in 1958, the first battalion of surface-to-air missiles of the Chinese Air Force was established in Sijiucheng, and formal research on air defense missiles began.

In the same year, my country introduced the "543 Weapon System" from its big brother, including missiles, launch stations and ground equipment, and started the imitation and development of air defense missiles.

The first generation of Hongqi missile "Hongqi-2" was copied, produced and improved based on the Soviet SA-, forming the first generation of medium and high altitude air defense missiles.

The missile successfully shot down the Bald Eagle U-1965 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft many times between 1967 and 2, creating a precedent for anti-aircraft missiles to shoot down aircraft and safeguarding the airspace security of the motherland. He seemed to remember that the designers were Mr. Qian and Mr. Xu.

Thinking of this, his eyes lit up and he made a secret decision in his heart.

"Then let's start with the research of the first generation of Red Flag missiles!"

After making the decision, Zhou Tian started to act. He first called the Armed Forces Department to inform them of his research direction. Then he called Mr. Tang from the Industry Department to tell him that refractory materials could already be mass-produced and that the oxygen top-blown converter could be built at any time.

The Minister of Armed Forces and Mr. Tang, who received Zhou Tian's call, were completely distracted from their work by his words and reported Zhou Tian's affairs to their superiors.

In less than three hours, the Minister of the Armed Forces and Mr. Tang responded to Zhou Tian and expressed their full support for his research.

Before three o'clock in the afternoon, trucks drove into the August 1st Red Star Machinery Factory. Missile and steelmaking experts and scholars jumped off the trucks and gathered at the August 1st Red Star Machinery Factory.

The noise in the factory quickly attracted the attention of the four deputy factory directors. Two deputy factory directors from the military and two deputy factory directors sent by the Ministry of Industry heard the noise and looked down from the windows. When they saw the trucks parked downstairs, their faces changed slightly.

"Did something happen in the factory?"

Slightly startled, the four of them left the office at the same time and walked towards the factory director's office with worried looks on their faces.

"Boom boom boom!"

A knock on the door woke Zhou Tian from his thoughts as he was sorting out the construction plan for the oxygen top-blown converter in the office.

"Come in!"

As soon as Zhou Tian finished speaking, four people walked in together.

"Director Liu, Director Wu, Director Zhao, Director Li, why are you here?"

Seeing that they were his four deputies, Zhou Tian couldn't help but ask curiously.

You know, since the four of them came to the machinery factory, they have always been law-abiding and left a very good impression on him, so Zhou Tian has always treated them with courtesy.

"Director, something happened. I just saw a lot of trucks coming down from the building!"

Director Wu, as a senior leader of the Ministry of Industry, is the most supportive of Zhou Tian's work. When he heard the factory director's question, he immediately spoke anxiously.

"Truck? Something happened? What happened? Why don't I know about it?"

Zhou Tian was confused by Director Wu's words. Seeing his anxious expression, it seemed that he was not pretending. Zhou Tian's expression changed slightly. Just as he was about to ask for clarification, he heard Liu Yuan's voice coming from outside the door. Zhou Tian's expression straightened instantly.

"Come in!"

"Director, people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Armed Forces are here. They are waiting for you in the conference room!"

Liu Yuan pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw four deputy factory directors there. He was slightly startled and then politely greeted the four people.

"So fast?"

Zhou Tian was stunned, then glanced at the four people, and suddenly remembered what Deputy Director Wu had said just now. He couldn't help but sneered and said, "Look at me, I forgot to inform you of such a big thing in advance. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

At this time, the four of them looked at each other for a while and then reacted.

"Director, did you call these people here?"

Deputy Director Liu was the first to come to his senses and ask.

"Yes, I called them here. As for what the specific matter is, you should know that I can't tell you. But there is one thing I can still tell you, and that is about the construction of an oxygen top-blown converter!"

"Top-blown oxygen furnace?"

The four of them were completely shocked. As deputy directors of a machinery factory, they had done a lot of homework and naturally knew what an oxygen top-blown converter was.

They also knew that the factory director had been given a task to study the oxygen top-blown converter.

But because they knew this, they were even more aware of the difficulties in building an oxygen top-blown converter. They originally thought that it would be great if the project could be successfully researched within three years.

But no one expected that the factory director would start building the oxygen top-blown converter now.

"Could it be that the factory director succeeded in his research during this period?"

The four of them felt as if a huge storm had arisen in their hearts.

After all, even experts and scholars from the Ministry of Industry have arrived. Obviously, they can’t think of anything else except this conjecture.

As for the secrets that the factory director could not tell, they were not children and naturally did not have that much curiosity. Moreover, how could they not know what the nature of the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory was?

"Director, do you mean that you have completed the design task of the oxygen top-blown converter?"

Although he was shocked by the factory director's ability, Director Liu couldn't help swallowing and asked.

"Well, it's been completed and has passed the Ministry of Industry's review. Now we're going to start construction!"
