The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

The abandoned stockpile room in the finished product warehouse.

The inside has been changed into a different look. One of the only two Sichuan Automobile Hongyan off-road trucks produced by the factory is parked here.

However, its appearance has been changed to the point that even the manufacturer can't help laughing when seeing it.

The originally flat front of the car was cut in the middle to become a concave U-shape, and then iron sheets were re-welded on it. Even the two panes of glass on the left and right sides of the driving platform had a piece cut off because of the concave shape.

Yang Weimin looked up at the huge front of the car. The piece on top was the steel plate he installed after forging it. It took a lot of effort from measuring the size to installing it.

People came to the renovation workshop one after another. Umbrellas were placed in the corner and raincoats were hung on the wall. No one spoke.

Everyone today was excited and nervous. Basically, everyone felt the same as Yang Weimin, with a heavy heart.

"Are you all here?"

Jia Haijie's father, Jia Shanhe, also known as Master Jia, shook off the water droplets on his body, picked up a towel at random, wiped his hair, and looked at everyone.

“All ready~!”

Yang Weimin glanced around. All those present were master chefs, with him being the only mid-level worker and a junior. After counting the number of people, he answered.

"Okay then, close the door~!"

They pulled the pallet truck over to the wall, and holding a flashlight and a monkey wrench in their hands, they lay down on it and crawled under the truck. Everyone started to busy themselves with their own tasks.

Yang Weimin, who was in charge of helping out, walked obediently to the door of the workshop and prepared to close the small door and lock the door together. This was the rule here. When you stepped in with your left foot, the confidentiality work began, and when you stepped out with your right foot, what happened here could not be known to outsiders.

"Wait, it's me, Li Feng~!"

Li Feng, holding an umbrella, ran in hurriedly from outside, with half of his body and arms blocking the crack in the door, and two people following behind him.

"Secretary Li, Deputy Director Shen, Deputy Director Li~!"

He quickly opened the door and let three people in just by scanning their faces.

Seeing the director and deputy director coming together, Yang Weimin felt as if his heart was squeezed hard. He didn't expect that the three giants of Red Star Factory would all come today.

"Just do your own things and don't worry about us. Just complete the task~!"

Li Feng folded his umbrella and shook it. He hadn't been to this area for several days after the arrangements were made. It was only when he heard Li Xuewen say that artillery was to be installed today that he and Mr. Shen came to take a look.

It wasn't that Mr. Shen was curious and had to come over to take a look, but it was Li Feng who brought him here, otherwise, this old guy would still be wandering around the workshop~!

"Hey, where did that cannon go? Why is it here for so long?"

He looked meaningfully at Li Xuewen who followed him.

Li Feng knew that this old man had recently come to recruit his last disciple. The old man also knew that Li Feng was focusing on training Li Xuewen and taking on some of the tasks that should have been shared by the deputy director.

He was so happy about it. It didn't matter whether he took the position of deputy factory director or not. He was also optimistic about Li Xuewen at the beginning, but he did not take the technical path and chose the management path instead.

As long as the factory's chief technical engineer can be brought out, the old man will be able to complete his task smoothly.

As for power, those who can concentrate on studying technology look down on those power struggles. Even in the eyes of the older generation of technicians, their reputation must come before power.

"Yes, today, this thing, must be combined with this thing. Have you figured out any tricks?"

Li Feng walked up to the 122 howitzer. Compared to the previous one, the appearance of this gun had also changed.

The wheels on both sides are gone, and connecting parts have been installed underneath. The two long spades have also been removed. Now it doesn't look ugly, nor good-looking, but a little awkward.

Although these were simple modifications, they lasted for more than a month. In the modification workshop, one team was responsible for the vehicles, and another team was responsible for the artillery. Although no one had ever fired an artillery gun themselves, these people who worked on mechanical parts were still able to figure out the principle of artillery firing.

"What's the trick? You can tell from the back of the car~!"

Mr. Shen pointed at the two large hoes behind the car with great interest, and he obviously understood what was going on here quickly. This kind of elementary school question was simply a disdain for his decades of research on mechanical equipment.

"This kind of professional matter should be handled by professionals~!"

Li Xuewen smiled bitterly and said something with a double meaning.

The truck-mounted cannon was the idea of ​​Li Feng, and he got support from above, providing him with a truck and a cannon. The key point was that he didn't know as much as Mr. Shen in this area, so asking him to be in charge of overall planning was really putting him in a difficult position.

"Everyone here is a professional. Look, who is not a professional? Our CEO Shen is old enough to train more talents for the factory. The baton has been handed over to us. Putting the right people in the right places is the role of our cadres~!"

Li Feng patted Li Xuewen on the shoulder. It was not possible to outlast an old man, but it was possible to outlast the young people. If he wanted to retire, since he had already taken over, there was no way back. The fact that President Shen had no objection proved that he was also willing to hand over the leadership.

"The chassis isn't a big problem, but I'm worried that the support rod underneath won't be able to withstand the recoil when the shells are fired~!"

After sliding out from under the chassis of the car, Master Jia also did this kind of work for the first time. He had only seen cannon firing in movies and knew that the recoil was very strong, but he didn't know how strong it was.

"We'll have to try it to know. We've already contacted the troops and borrowed a test site for the artillery. We'll install it according to the established process. After debugging, we'll give it a try first. We're not afraid of failure~!"

Patting the reinforced rear plate and looking at the two sturdy pickaxes pointing obliquely at the ground, Li Feng waved his hand and said with great ambition.

Those present were all mediocre bricklayers in the truck artillery industry, but they were also the elites that the factory could boast of.

Li Feng can accept any result. As long as the vehicle can carry the gun and reach the test site from here, it will be a great success.

If you want to break through this ceiling, you have to work hard. No one can guarantee whether you will succeed or not. Li Feng doesn't care even if the barrel explodes on the spot and the artillery carriage is completely destroyed.

The things that are continuously produced from the assembly line are meant to be used. They are used to the best advantage and can also be used to accumulate experience for the future.

"Let's start~!"

Secretary Li's words gave the workers and technicians present a reassurance. Since the factory director had taken the lead, they had to shoot the arrow they had been sharpening.

The power switch of the overhead crane was pushed up, and Yang Weimin, with sweat on his palms, climbed onto the overhead crane that he had learned to operate for several days.

As the large iron wheels of the overhead crane rolled over the steel rails, the personnel below impatiently hung the steel cable on the gun body on the iron hook hanging from the overhead crane.

As the iron hook moved upwards, the steel cable was instantly tightened. After the modification, the three-ton howitzer barrel gradually floated above the ground.

The staff held the gun barrel with both hands. Yang Weimin, who was on the overhead crane, followed the instructions of the people below and slowly lifted the howitzer onto the truck.

"Okay, stop~!"

The several-meter-long gun barrel was adjusted by the people below until it was facing the U-shaped gap. Master Jia then swung his arm downward.

"Boom~!"

The weight of the gun was all placed on the truck, and the body of the truck shook noticeably. Several workers grabbed wrenches and quickly climbed onto the truck.

"Well, it looks a bit like a truck gun~!"

Looking at the gun barrel slightly protruding from the front of the vehicle, Li Feng's eyes were already showing a slight smile. The appearance was a little simple, but who could say that this was not a truck gun?
"Check all the screws and install them properly. Test the steering gear and elevation gear as soon as possible~!"

The scene was a little chaotic, but overall it remained in order. Some were handing over nuts, some were greasing the wheels, and even Master Jia, regardless of the danger, drilled in thoroughly and checked the load condition of the beam.

Although I am mentally prepared, I still have to take a look before I feel at ease.

"The suspension is fine, and there's no problem with the hydraulic support rods either. Let's leave it like this for now and get ready for the test~!"

By the time Master Jia crawled out from under the car again, the connecting structure between the cannon and the car body had been gradually installed.

The car was immediately surrounded by the people present. The task assigned to them by Secretary Li, as the gun barrel fell, represented the successful completion of the first stage.

As for whether it can successfully reach the second stage, it depends on whether the parts made by the craftsmen of the Red Star Factory can run smoothly after meshing as expected~! (End of this chapter)
