Chapter 337 Official Delivery
In June, the temperature in the capital has begun to rise.

However, when walking in Capital University of Technology, there are tall poplar trees on both sides of the campus road, so it is not hot at all.

These months are basically the months with the highest green coverage in the capital. When autumn comes and all kinds of leaves fall off, the entire capital will become gray.

"The experts from the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building have come to the site for an audit. Have the relevant performance indicators met their requirements?"

The Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory is located in a new factory area five or six kilometers northwest of Capital University of Technology.

In later generations, this area was considered an urban area, but now the surrounding area is still farmland.

Jiang Hui went to Capital University of Technology and attended several meetings at the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering. Then he followed Zhu Jiansheng and others to the Capital University of Technology Special Vehicle Factory.

"The standards that the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building set for us at the beginning were not particularly high. We designed and developed according to the standards you originally set."

"The current prototype is still a little short of the indicators you mentioned, but compared with the parameters stipulated by the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, all of them have been exceeded."

"So the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building was very satisfied with the prototype verification work this time, and directly notified us that we could enter mass production."

"The biggest problem now is not whether our missile launchers can meet the design requirements, but how many vehicles the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building needs us to produce."

Zhu Jiansheng regards the intercontinental ballistic missile launcher project as the most important project of the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering in the past two years, and he is even carrying it out regardless of the cost.

Almost all the profits provided by the Hummer military vehicle project were thrown into the missile launcher.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to complete the design and development of the missile vehicle with the limited funding provided by the relevant departments.

Now that the product has been developed, it depends on how much demand there is from relevant departments.

The production cost of an intercontinental ballistic missile is not low, and there is no way to export it to spread the cost.

China's current general direction is to develop its economy. Strategic weapons such as intercontinental ballistic missiles need to be developed, but once they are developed, they will not be equipped on a large scale. They will only be carried in small batches in some teams.

As a result, there will naturally not be many orders from the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory.

"We have already produced the 8-axle ICBM launcher, so it won't be a problem to simplify the production of 6-axle and -axle launchers."

"The demand for these launch vehicles is relatively large, and some of them can be used for export."

'The next part of the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory can produce all these products.'

"Even if we don't make more money, at least with the funding from relevant units, we can still make the missile launcher project break even."

"As more Hummers are taken back to the factory for in-house production, the profits can be used to develop other products in the future."

"With the missile launcher and Hummer military vehicle projects as a foundation, the difficulty of developing other commercial vehicles will be greatly reduced."

"For example, heavy truck projects are not a problem at all. We can now do it on a large scale."

Jiang Hui had discussed with Zhu Jiansheng the future development direction of the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory before.

Heavy trucks are one of the important development projects. According to the current progress schedule, products will be available by next year.

By then, the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory will have a much better time.

"Your point of view is similar to what we discussed at the school committee meeting. Now we can only rely on the heavy truck project and the Hummer military vehicle project to provide blood transfusions for the missile launcher project."

“Besides heavy trucks, do you have any ideas for other projects?”

It is a rare opportunity to call Jiang Hui back. Both Zhu Jiansheng and the other professors must want to "squeeze" more ideas out of Jiang Hui.

"As for this demand, I think we can communicate with the relevant departments. For example, I think there is room for improvement in the floating bridges used by field troops."

"If we can directly develop a bridge-laying machine to help field troops quickly build bridges, there should be a certain demand for it."

"For example, trench digging in the south is still mainly done by hand. If there is a special trench digging machine, it should be very popular."

"And this product can also be considered for export."

"It would be no problem to further expand the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory and make it a professional construction machinery manufacturer."

"With the expansion of infrastructure in various regions, various excavators, road rollers and other products should have a very large market."

"Some of the technologies used in these products have a high degree of overlap with the technologies we currently have."

Jiang Hui threw out all kinds of ideas at once.

As for which product the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory chooses to focus on developing first, he doesn't care.

Anyway, these products have a certain market, and China does have related needs.

As long as you can figure it out, you won’t lose money.

Moreover, these are all considered as heavy industries, and are most suitable for special vehicle factories of science and technology.

Not to mention special products, all of them can be used in the military industry in the future.

"Principal Zhu, I think what Director Jiang said makes sense. We can indeed make full use of the existing technology to expand and develop various engineering machinery. In the future, whether it is provided to the military or sold to various enterprises, there will be a large market for it."

"Nowadays, some high-end construction machinery needs to be imported, and there is still a big technical gap between domestic production and that of others. Our Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory can fully develop construction machinery as one of its flagship products."

"In the future, the military vehicle division, heavy truck division, and engineering machinery division will work together to make the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory the largest heavy-duty special vehicle factory in the country and even the world."

Lai Yongfeng, who was listening nearby, was quite interested and couldn't help but interject.

As an expert in the chassis field, he is well aware of how much experience the intercontinental missile launcher has accumulated in the chassis during the research and development process.

These experiences can be fully applied to other heavy trucks and construction machinery.

"When I went abroad for inspection before, I saw many special vehicles abroad."

"There is a great demand in the market for various special motor vehicles for obstacle removal, sweeping, cleaning, lifting, loading and unloading, lifting, mixing, excavating, bulldozing, refrigeration, insulation, etc., but manufacturers have not paid enough attention to them, or the products they produce cannot meet market demand."

"Even for products like fire trucks, many domestic companies are still considering importing them from abroad. If we work hard on it, we can still make a lot of money."

People who work in R&D definitely hope to have more projects on hand so that they can achieve results.

Especially as a professor at Capital University of Technology, Lai Yongfeng has graduate students to supervise, and he wants to have more projects so that the institute can have its own good research topics. In the future, he will also have to supervise doctoral students to do research projects, so he will need more projects.

With so many projects, whether it is writing a paper or applying for various achievements and awards, there is always something to write.

Otherwise, just making up stories will not only burn countless brain cells, but will also make you feel uneasy.

"Professor Lai is right. Any of these products is worth a professor leading a scientific research team to study."

"When the time comes, we can give full play to the advantages of industry-university-research cooperation, which will not only allow the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory to provide sufficient research and development funds for the school, but also cultivate a large number of talents."

"By then, the rapid development of a series of majors such as vehicle engineering, mechanical design and automation, materials science, engineering mechanics, mechatronics, industrial engineering, logistics management, and accounting driven by these projects alone will not be measured by a simple amount of benefits."

"By then, Capital University of Technology will be among the most well-known universities in China, and it is not impossible for it to catch up with Peking University and Tsinghua University in the future."

Jiang Hui painted a big picture for Zhu Jiansheng and others.

Among all the universities in China, Tsinghua and Peking University are unique. No matter how other universities brag, they can only say that their subject ranking in a certain major may be better than that of Tsinghua and Peking University, but they absolutely dare not say that their overall strength is stronger than that of Tsinghua and Peking University.

However, if Capital University of Technology can really build the Capital University of Technology Special Vehicle Factory into the world's largest special vehicle factory and do a good job in R&D and production, then the impact will be huge.

Not to mention surpassing Tsinghua and Peking University, it is entirely possible to become a school of the same level as Tsinghua and Peking University.

The prerequisite is that this path can be continued, so that the product research and development of the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory will always be at the forefront of the world.

"It is not realistic to launch too many projects at once. Our manpower and funding are still limited."

"When the time comes, the Department of Vehicle Engineering will have a good discussion about which projects to launch first, and then the academy will report to the school."

Zhu Jiansheng was moved!

He has high aspirations for the future, and the position of president of Capital University of Technology is definitely not his destination.

The better the performance of the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory, the more likely it is that Zhu Jiansheng will be promoted in the future.

"The leaders of the Seventh and Fifth Machine Ministries should be arriving soon. Let's go to the factory gate to greet them."

Continuing the discussion would not produce results so quickly. After looking at his watch, Zhu Jiansheng led everyone to the gate of the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory to wait for the arrival of the leaders.

Fortunately, at this time the leaders’ schedules are still relatively punctual, so there won’t be much difference in the agreed time of arrival.

Jiang Hui, Zhu Jiansheng and others did not have to wait too long at the factory gate before several BJ310s drove over.

Li Darui, chief engineer of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, Chen Erdong, deputy minister, and Hu Yong, minister of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building, all got out of the car and, led by Zhu Jiansheng and others, enthusiastically visited the factory.

After a long circle, the handover ceremony of the intercontinental ballistic missile launcher took place.

The missile must first be loaded onto the launch vehicle, and then the handover unit must receive training before it is finally delivered to the user unit for installation.

Therefore, this time, all the missile launchers will be driven to the intercontinental ballistic missile factory of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

It is obviously not appropriate to allow these special vehicles to appear on the streets in broad daylight.

Only by waiting until late at night when everyone is asleep can we avoid making such a big noise.

However, it is obviously a bit difficult to keep it completely confidential.

Fortunately, the information about this project had already been passed on before, so there was no need to keep it confidential.

After all, when the National Day comes this year, it will appear directly in the military parade.

At that time, things like the appearance of the vehicle naturally could not be kept secret.

Along the entire Chang'an Avenue, there must be many foreign reporters holding the most advanced cameras and video cameras to record all the information about the launch vehicle.

It’s just that some things are impossible to figure out just by looking at the appearance.

Just like some of America’s strategic bombers, they were introduced decades ago, and the media has reported a lot of photos of them, but who can copy them?
At least in 1984, no country in the world could copy it.

"Woodcock, the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory delivered a batch of very special missile launchers to a missile factory in China. According to our expert analysis, these are China's intercontinental ballistic missile launchers."

"This means that China will soon have the ability to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles from land."

As an important member of the American Embassy, ​​Smith has been paying attention to various intelligence in China over the years.

For example, the delivery of the missile launcher for the Polytechnic Special Vehicles was not carried out in a highly confidential environment. It was not particularly strange that Smith's informant was able to get the news.

"Has China already mastered the technology of ICBM launchers so quickly?"

Woodcock couldn't help but recall the scene when he first came to China a few years ago.

At that time, there were basically no high-rise buildings in the capital area, and no major projects were under construction.

The various weapons and equipment displayed by China to the outside world are extremely backward.

Even products like running second radar still need to be imported from abroad.

As for high-end military products such as intercontinental ballistic missiles, there is not even a single one.

Now they not only have intercontinental ballistic missiles, but also have land-based launch capabilities.

Missile launchers have been developed, so rockets? Launchers are naturally not a problem.

This means that China's intercontinental ballistic missiles can be launched from fixed silos, trains, or missile launchers carrying nuclear warheads.

It doesn't seem so strange that one day in the future it might be possible to launch a missile from a submarine.

This speed of progress put pressure on Woodcock.

"Although it's a little hard to believe, I think that might be the case."

Smith spread his hands and showed a helpless expression.

Fortunately, at that time the relationship between America and China was still very close, so although such important information brought a shock to Smith and Woodcock, it did not cause them to propose to the country to change their attitude towards China.
