In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 178: This is too much! This anger can only be vented on the monkey with an 80mm disposable barrel
"How about some financial support?"

Seeing Xie Wei shaking his head like a rattle, Liang Hongbin knew that he was unwilling to study with him. Even though he was embarrassed, he still asked Xie Wei for money.

"We are not forcing this project. The largest low-speed wind tunnel in Asia that is being built in China should be completed soon. The construction cost of the hypersonic wind tunnel laboratory is high and the technology is difficult. In the absence of funds, our superiors are unable to support it..."

Liang Hongbin explained why the school had to carry out this project.

The school has been researching technology in this area.

Liang Hongbin's main research area is high-energy physics, and he is also the project leader.

But when Xie Wei heard Liang Hongbin say that it was because Xie Wei had developed the HZ80 chip that the wind tunnel's automated control technology was greatly improved, after some discussion, the school used its project autonomy to speed up the progress without any financial support from the higher authorities...

Xie Wei was unhappy.

"It's my fault!"

"I'm only telling you the reason, not blaming you. Now that we have the basic facilities, we have to speed up the progress. With the current results, we can research more advanced ones!"

Seeing Xie Wei's resentful face, Liang Hongbin hurriedly explained.

"Wind tunnels are too important for a country's aerospace. Our country has a weak foundation and a poor foundation. In addition, we have almost stagnated in the past few years. Foreign countries have left us far behind... Let alone other things, because we cannot build a full-size wind tunnel, the progress of the J-9..."

Liang Hongbin sighed silently again.

Only people in the industry know how important wind tunnel laboratories are.

"The school-enterprise office can't provide any more money at the moment. If there is funding later, I will ask Wang Zheng to give more to the school..."

Xie Wei could only answer this way.

"That program-controlled switch project... our Mach 6 wind tunnel, the overall construction cost will be controlled within 440 million."

"How far has it progressed now?"

Xie Wei was surprised.

Being able to budget the overall cost means that the design of the wind tunnel laboratory has basically been completed.

Liang Hongbin looked at Xie Wei and shook his head slightly.

Xie Wei did not ask any further questions.

By telling himself so much, Liang Hongbin has actually violated the rules.

"We can't stop using program-controlled switches. If we don't have them, we'll end up like Mitsubishi used outdated CNC machine tools to blackmail us. With the country's reform and opening up, everything is giving way to economic infrastructure. Advanced communication systems are also part of economic infrastructure!"

Xie Wei also sighed.

The communications market is too big.

In 83, Fujitsu provided a -line switch to the Fuzhou Telephone Bureau, marking the beginning of foreign communications giants entering the Chinese market and making money with backward technology. This continued until domestic programmable switches such as ZTE and Huawei were launched on the market. Over a decade, how much money was spent?
In order to gain a larger market share, Bell was the first to enter the Shanghai Stock Exchange and build a joint venture factory.

My energy was originally spent on other things and I forgot about this project.

But Xie Wei now would not do that.

Just like the CNC system, even if the technology is a little backward, it is impossible for the international community to blackmail so blatantly!
As for programmable switching systems, Xie Wei was no stranger to them.

According to his plan, samples for experiments will be available within half a year at most.

Previously, Xie Wei asked Xie Jianguo to build an electronics factory in Chengdu and produce CNC systems in Chengdu. This factory is not just for the production of CNC systems!

It’s not that Xie Wei doesn’t want to place the production factory in the Pearl River Delta or the Yangtze River Delta.

The Pearl River Delta has just started to be built and its current industrial base is extremely weak and cannot provide complete supporting facilities at all.

The Yangtze River Delta is home to a large number of domestically advanced electronics factories, especially in Shanghai.

Just look at the fact that Factory 80, which had just solved the large-scale mass production of HZ14 chips, was approached by foreign capital for a joint venture. If it weren't for the fact that Factory 14 was originally requested by Li Rui from the Ministry's senior leaders, now...

Although Chengdu is far from the market, the smooth railway transportation can solve the problem; a large number of third-line projects are in Chengdu and the surrounding mountainous areas, and these factories can provide all the supporting facilities...

Everything cannot be explained.

Many times, Xie Wei even felt suffocated.

"Okay. Since you think it's important, let's do that first..."

Liang Hongbin didn't talk too much with Xie Wei like the others did, and he didn't use threats or inducements like Li Rui did, "You go and get busy first."

Although Liang Hongbin's expression did not change, Xie Wei could sense his loss.

This is the first time someone asked me for funding.

Although they are familiar with each other, he cannot promise to support the Mach 6 supersonic wind tunnel project that Liang Hongbin is in charge of just because Liang Hongbin is nice to him.

The country's huge group of wind tunnels took nearly a hundred years to build.

However, Xie Wei could not lose sight of the main goal and divert funds from other projects to this.

He knew that wind tunnel laboratories were key core infrastructure projects for many advanced military equipment. What was the point of developing key core infrastructure projects without money?
Only when the national economy develops will there be money to invest in advanced national defense science and technology projects that are like gold-devouring beasts.

"This kid is too smart."

Looking at Xie Wei's departing back, Liang Hongbin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He was not angry because Xie Wei disagreed.

······
After receiving the money, Principal Li was motivated and took Yuan Zhenyue on the train to the capital again the next day.

"It would be great if our school had an airplane. We often go to the capital, and waste too much time on the train."

On the way to the capital, Principal Li complained.

Hearing his words, Yuan Zhenyue, with a twitching mouth, decisively looked out the window, even though he was already tired of the scenery outside the train that was constantly receding.

Can you respond to what Principal Li said?
If he were to start another aircraft project, being scolded by all the faculty and staff would be no big deal. The only thing he was afraid of was being targeted by that old silver coin Xie Wei.

After all, he is no longer allowed to enter places where Principal Li can make money.

The rest is the school-enterprise office.

"Xiao Yuan, you said that we waste a lot of time in the car. If we have a plane, can we save a lot of time?"

Little did he know that even though Yuan Zhenyue pretended not to hear, Principal Li still did not give up.

"Principal, airplanes are convenient, but if our school really had airplanes, I'm afraid it would be a very serious problem."

In desperation, Yuan Zhenyue could only find a way to persuade Li Rui to give up this idea.

Does the school have an airplane?
Even the money for refueling the school car has become difficult!
"Oh?"

Li Rui moved, sat up straight, and looked at Yuan Zhenyue with interest, as if Comrade Yuan was very reactive to the topic he raised that flying saves more time than taking the train.

"Principal, it is undeniable that airplanes are faster than trains. But we have to consider not only the manufacturing cost of the airplane, but also the maintenance and operating costs, and even more importantly, the impact."

Assistant Yuan's brain was working rapidly at this moment.

It even feels like my brain has never worked so well.

"Cost and such are issues. Our school is financially tight right now, but when we have more money in the future, it should be possible... What can it affect?"

Li Rui actually doesn't know much about airplanes.

But I also know that this thing is extremely expensive.

One flight costs tens of thousands of dollars.

"Principal, even the top leader of our country doesn't have his own private plane!"

When Yuan Zhenyue heard Li Rui's words, he felt powerless.

This old man really dares to think like that.

Don’t national leaders have their own private planes?
Every time I go abroad or somewhere else, I always call for Air China flights.

"If our school had a special plane that even the country's top leaders don't have, wouldn't our reputation spread? At least, Tsinghua and Peking University can't compare with us in this regard! If we tell those geniuses during the annual enrollment period that our school arranges a special plane to pick them up... When someone is on an important business trip, we will arrange a plane..."

The more Principal Li spoke, the more he felt that his idea was a good one, and he became more and more excited.

Finished!

It's over.

It would have been fine if I hadn't said it, but once I said it, the old man thought my idea was feasible.

What if he is determined to do this?

Yuan Zhenyue suddenly became anxious. He had to remind Li Rui: "Principal, don't think about this matter... Our Harbin airport has been put into use..."

"Uh~"

Yuan Zhenyue's words brought Principal Li back to reality, as he was dreaming of having the school's special plane pick up talented students from across the country at the beginning of the school year, and to send technical teams that the school collaborated with other units during normal times.

Civilian airliners are very expensive to purchase.

The maintenance and operating costs are very high.

The point is, in order to save money, he, the president of a key university who is on the same level as the mayor of Harbin, can't even afford to buy a plane ticket when he goes out...

It's embarrassing to tell others about it.

Suddenly, Principal Li stopped talking.

Yuan Zhenyue breathed a sigh of relief when Principal Li stopped talking about what would happen if the school had an airplane.

In fact, he also hoped that the school could have a private plane so that the principal could take it for work and he, as the assistant, could also benefit from it.

But now, the school owes millions of dollars in salary to all its cadres and staff, and as an assistant, I am mostly following the principal around begging for money.

The school has a special plane, I dare not even think about it...

"Principal, how about we not go to the ministry at all?"

After finally arriving in the capital, Li Rui prepared to go directly to the ministry.

There was no other way. Principal Li was not familiar with the leaders of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. He could only contact the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications through the leaders of the ministry and ask for people and technical information from the Ministry.

Of course, it would be best to ask for some project funding.

Xie Wei wrote a note stating that if he could get any funding, it would go to the school, not the project.

Can Principal Li give up the opportunity?

"If we don't go to the ministry, we won't even be able to get through the door of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications."

Li Rui also knew that the leaders in the department were most reluctant to see him, but there was nothing he could do.

"But……"

"Well, the worst that can happen is that I get scolded. I'm used to it anyway. It won't hurt to get scolded. If some leader is willing to pay me, I can let them scold me every day..."

Principal Li doesn't need face anymore.

Bending down now is to straighten your back in the future.

Yuan Zhenyue had no choice but to follow Li Rui to the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

Sure enough, as soon as the two arrived at the gate, they were stopped by armed guards.

Li Rui patted his chest and assured that he was not here to ask for money this time, but no matter what he said, the armed guards refused to let him in. In the end, they asked Yuan Zhenyue to go in and report, and only let him in if the minister agreed.

"Xiao Yuan, you must tell the minister the true circumstances of our visit..."

In desperation, Li Rui could only give orders to Yuan Zhenyue.

"Principal Li, we are really not trying to embarrass you. Every time you come, we get scolded. If we don't get permission to let you in, we all have to clean the toilets..."

The head of the armed guard explained to Li Rui with a bitter face.

After all, he is the president of a key university and an administrative cadre at the department level.

Li Rui just glared at him and didn't say anything. He ran to the guardhouse next to him, dragged a stool over, and sat on it to smoke.

"Xiao Yuan? Why are you here? Where's Li Rui?"

As soon as a leader came out of Minister Zheng's office to report on his work, Yuan Zhenyue, who had followed Li Rui many times, slipped in.

This surprised Minister Zheng.

"Leader, our principal was stopped at the door by the guards..."

"Oh? Is there anything else?"

Minister Zheng pretended to be surprised, "Can the guards at the door stop him? Is he still the fearless Li Rui?"

"..."

Although he was complaining in his heart, Yuan Zhenyue did not dare to respond.

"What's going on this time?"

“No money…”

"Xiao Yuan, you are a young cadre in the department with unlimited potential. Don't follow Li Rui all day long and learn some bad things. It's not good to talk nonsense!"

Before Yuan Zhenyue could finish speaking, Minister Zheng scolded him with a stern face.

This left Yuan Zhenyue stunned.

When will Minister Zheng care about a little Karami like me?
"Leader, I'm really not..."

Yuan Zhenyue hurriedly explained, but when he saw Minister Zheng glaring at him, he suddenly panicked. He remembered that every time Principal Li came to see the minister, the first sentence he said was "I don't want money this time". What happened in the end?

In desperation, he could only hastily explain his purpose, "The school is planning to build a program-controlled digital switch..."

"Oh?"

When he heard that they were going to "borrow" people and "borrow information" from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, the seriousness on Minister Zheng's face gradually disappeared, "Your principal really doesn't want money?"

"This is a project that the school-enterprise office wants to carry out. Even if it costs money, we should ask the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications for it."

"Xie Wei is torturing me?"

When Yuan Zhenyue heard Minister Zheng asking if it was Xie Wei's fault, he was stunned. He didn't expect Xie Wei to be so famous that even the minister knew him!

He was even more determined that he would rather offend Principal Li than offend Xie Wei, the promising old silver coin.

"Yes. The school-enterprise office has a lot of contact with partner companies. The timeliness of telegram communication is too poor, and the quality of telephone communication is also poor..."

The reason was prepared by Xie Wei at the beginning.

"Is that so? I'll write a note and you go to the Labor and Personnel Office to ask someone to help contact..."

Minister Zheng seemed to have forgotten that Li Rui was blocked by the guards at the door. After understanding the situation, he wrote a note and asked Yuan Zhenyue to find someone from the Labor and Personnel Department to help coordinate with the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.

Looking at Minister Zheng's attitude, Yuan Zhenyue decisively gave up speaking for Principal Li.

Not to mention that Li Rui hoped Minister Zheng would help him to meet the leaders of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.

"By the way, Xiao Yuan, tell Li Rui that a four-axis machining center will be shipped to Dalian Port in a month. Your school should be prepared for the transportation..."

When Yuan Zhenyue was about to leave, Minister Zheng mentioned something.

"what?"

“It was imported from Mitsubishi. Although it is second-hand and the machining accuracy is not high, it is a complete four-axis linkage machining center.”

Minister Zheng added a sentence and asked Yuan Zhenyue to leave without waiting for his answer.

Yuan Zhenyue left in confusion, he really couldn't understand why the minister suddenly treated him like this.

When he took the note to the Labor and Personnel Department to find the relevant personnel and came out after handing over the work, Principal Li had already smoked a pack of cigarettes in the guard room.

"You are such an idiot! No wonder the guards stopped me. Yuan Zhenyue, Yuan Zhenyue, you have been following me for so long... You didn't even cry poor to the minister when you had such a good opportunity to ask for money? If it weren't for the CNC system developed by our school, would Mitsubishi have given in? Even the price would have been lower than the ministry's expectations!"

After listening to Yuan Zhenyue's report about his meeting with Minister Zheng, Li Rui was shaking with anger.

No wonder I was stopped by the guards at the door.

Such a good opportunity to ask for money!
"Principal, I..."

Looking at Principal Li, who looked murderous, Yuan Zhenyue was helpless. What level was Principal Li, and what level was he?

Do I dare to say a word more in front of Minister Zheng?
"I have trained you for nothing! What a great opportunity! I won't mention much else, but this alone will at least allow the department to give me another 600 million!"

"..."

Yuan Zhenyue helplessly looked at the principal, whose face was twisted with heartache, and wanted to say that the principal was too idealistic.

The department is also short of money now.

Although I don't know how much it cost to import the four-axis CNC machining center from Mitsubishi, it is obviously not too little.

Where can we get so much money for the school?
"Principal, didn't the department give us one?"

"You are such an idiot. The department gave us one! What do you think it was for? It was for us to dismantle it for research. We were given the task but you didn't pay us a penny. Only you think you got a great deal..."

"..."

No wonder Minister Zheng treats me so well.

The reason for the relationship is to not provide research funding for the project!
"Principal, the Labor and Personnel Office said that they should help us borrow people and materials as soon as possible, so we don't have to wait here..."

Although he knew he would be scolded, Yuan Zhenyue, who was familiar with Principal Li's temper, knew that the consequences would be much less severe if he told Principal Li earlier than later.

"This is too much! No, I have to go back to find him!"

Li Rui immediately turned around and went back to find Minister Zheng.

But he was stopped by Yuan Zhenyue.

What can I do when I go back?
I couldn’t even get into the gate of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

······
"Om~"

Three o'clock in the morning.

Harbin Institute of Technology metalworking workshop.

The milling machine has no protective cover, and the tool on the spindle is rotating at high speed. The worktable is being controlled by the CNC system on one side, moving slowly up and down, left and right, front and back.

The people around were constantly recording various data.

The operator was in front of the control panel with his hand hovering over the red emergency button.

Today we carried out parts processing for the first time to test the performance of the three-axis control system compared with the previous idling operation.

Soon, a part with a metal spherical boss as big as a fist was completed.

The inspectors waiting on the side began to inspect the finished parts with various inspection tools.

“The ovality is still quite large… The maximum machining error exceeds 0.1 mm… Especially the positioning accuracy of the holes cannot be guaranteed to be controlled within 0.05 mm…”

Soon, the inspectors reported the inspection data.

"This is all expected. The entire workbench is too heavy. It was originally driven by a screw, but now it uses a roller screw pair..."

Mu Zhiping rubbed his aching temple and explained, "Once the specially produced CNC milling machine is assembled, the workbench will only move in the X and Y directions, and the Z axis will be responsible for up and down movement. The processing accuracy will meet the designed 0.05 mm."

The ordinary milling machine in front of you, which is used for transformation, has been used for more than ten years.

“Once the existence problem is solved, the accuracy can be gradually improved.”

Xie Wei was not surprised by the result before him.

The control accuracy of the system can reach 0.02 mm, but the manufacturing technology is not advanced enough, and the fact that it is simply a modification of an ordinary machine tool leads to a large accumulation of errors.

"The control system is fine, but it's mainly a mechanical traditional system that needs to be improved, otherwise there won't be many customers."

Du Guowang nodded, "It's getting late, let's take a rest first."

And no one left.

More data is needed to test the machining stability and accuracy of the modified CNC milling machine. The more data obtained, the more accurate the performance can be.

"Director Du, starting tomorrow, I won't come here anymore."

Xie Wei caught up with Du Guowang.

"Well? How about you wait a little longer? The production of various spare parts and accessories is almost finished..."

The simple four-axis prototype is about to be completed. The large castings of the CNC milling machine body produced by Harbin No. 1 Machine Tool have been processed and shipped to the school's metalworking workshop, and some of them have even been installed.

The results were about to come out, and Xie Wei was ready to leave the project at this critical moment.

Du Guowang didn't want Xie Wei to leave, not because of the results.

He still hopes that Xie Wei will focus all his energy on CNC systems and PLC programmable logic controllers.

As experience with CNC systems accumulated, the team's progress on PLC programmable controllers also accelerated, and by the end of the year, it would be successful.

"It's okay. It's not like I won't go back to the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering."

Xie Wei naturally knew Du Guowang's real purpose.

He doesn't care about results and reputation now.

Otherwise, just keep publishing papers.

However, if his influence is not enough, Xie Wei will not waste his energy on it.

"Communication technology is indeed important, but..."

"Our numerical control system actually also uses communication technology, from control systems to machine tools, machine tool signal feedback, etc.... Each field cannot actually exist independently... Only when our numerical control technology breaks through can we provide more advanced manufacturing technology for the military manufacturing field... And now, with the accumulation of the foundation of the numerical control system, more advanced chips are needed..."

"It's mainly because we are not familiar with the design of the machining center and the four-axis machining center. Once the direction is wrong..."

Du Guowang sighed.

There must be no mistakes in the research direction, otherwise the scarce funds will be even more scarce.

"We already have the foundation... It would be even scarier if we didn't make any mistakes during the research and development process! Also, the ministry has news that the negotiations with Mitsubishi have made a breakthrough. Once the equipment comes back, one will be allocated to the school for research!"

The development of CNC technology is definitely not something that can be achieved in a short period of time.

Now that the foundation is in place, the R&D team just needs to continue their research.

Xie Wei believes that what he needs to do most at the moment is to lay a foundation for other key projects and fields.

Decades later, the price of a fidget spinner that is everywhere can be as low as a few cents, but the processing precision is so high that even the most skilled and experienced eighth-level workers need many days to produce one, and the pass rate is...

Even if Xie Wei could develop drones and other areas that he is good at at present, the cost alone would be unacceptable, not to mention the performance.

"Squad leader, are you free this afternoon?"

The next afternoon, after class, Xie Wei was about to find Lu Guangliang to discuss the programmable switching system project when he was stopped by Tang Daoxian again.

"Today is the first live-fire test... a real test..."

Under Xie Wei's gaze, Tang Daoxian explained with a guilty conscience.

The last time he approached Xie Wei he said he was testing the rocket launcher, but it turned out to be his mentor Zhai Xinguo who asked Xie Wei for help.

Xie Wei didn't cause him any trouble later, but Tang Daoxian felt upset.

There's no way, Xie Wei is busy anyway.

In addition, Xie Rou left the rocket launcher project, and his personal relationship with Xie Wei was not good.

"Let's go."

The school is currently short of funds, and the School-Enterprise Office cannot provide support in the short term. If the individual rocket launcher is successful, let Old Man Li ask the army for money.

It is still the original Xijiao Shooting Range.

"Professor Zhai, everything is ready as you ordered."

The attitude of the person in charge of the shooting range was even colder than last time.

Although he is only the person in charge of the shooting range, he is also a member of the army and naturally likes powerful equipment. The grenade launcher tested last time was not only inaccurate, but also had very poor power. It can be called a grenade or a rocket, but it can't even compare to a wooden-handled grenade.

It would be strange if the attitude at the shooting range was good.

Professor Zhai and Master and Apprentice Tang Daoxian didn't care and walked directly towards the target area from last time.

"We should have called Xie Rou as well, but we're not sure about the safety yet, so we didn't call her."

Hearing what his instructor said, Tang Daoxian rolled his eyes: So I am not your student! If you don't let Xie Rou come because you are worried about safety, you will have to carry it on your shoulders and shoot!

Although he was complaining in his heart, Tang Daoxian quickly made preparations for the launch.

Only three rocket launchers were produced this time.

There is a handle on one side of the launch tube, and like the PF89 rocket launcher, both ends have a plastic shock-proof cover that is much larger than the launch tube.

In appearance, it is no different from the PF89 rocket launcher.

"Isn't this too dangerous?"

Looking at Tang Daoxian installing the plastic sight, unscrewing the front cover of the launch tube, carrying the launch tube on his shoulder and half-kneeling on the ground to start aiming at the target in the distance, Xie Wei asked Zhai Xinguo worriedly.

"The warhead uses Type 69 technology, which has not been modified."

Thinking of Zhai Xinguo's professionalism, and the fact that there was nothing unusual on Tang Daoxian's face, and that the test was based on the existing domestic individual rocket launcher technology, Xie Wei, who didn't know the testing process for weapons such as rockets, didn't say much.

"Bang~"

When Tang Daoxian pulled the trigger, the firing pin in the tube hit the primer connected to the detonating tube, directly igniting the rocket launcher.

The rear cover flew backwards under the impact of a ball of flame. After the rocket left the launch tube, the folded tail fins at the tail quickly unfolded and flew straight forward. There was no flame at the tail like when the engine was working, only a small amount of smoke.

The rocket left the launch tube and flew straight for a distance of seven or eight meters. The tail engine ignited. At that moment, there was no obvious falling down when the tail of the grenade ignited as when the sniper grenade was fired before.

"Bang~"

The first rocket accurately hit the target 200 meters away.

"Bang~"

300-meter target, still hit accurately.

"Bang~"

The 400-meter target is also not surprising.

After firing three rockets in succession, Tang Daoxian ran to the target to collect data, but the shooting range did not arrange any staff to help.

Zhai Xinguo asked Xie Wei:

"How about it?"

"It seems that the problem of trajectory deviation from launch to ignition has been solved."

Xie Wei provided the general idea of ​​the plan in front of him. Xie Wei didn't know whether it was the FP89 rocket launcher. At present, it seemed that the accuracy was correct. "I just don't know how much difference it will have after the warhead is installed."

The PF89 itself is an anti-tank rocket launcher. After many studies, it has different types of warheads.

The one in front of me is not loaded with gunpowder, so it’s hard to tell its performance.

"We are going to find a unit to cooperate with."

"Jiangbei Machinery Factory?"

Xie Wei asked without even thinking.

“Do you know this factory?”

Zhai Xinguo looked at Xie Wei suspiciously.

"I've heard before that they specialize in designing and producing rocket launchers..."

Xie Wei only knew about it through the Internet.

The technical difficulty of the PF89 individual rocket launcher is not high.

After the army issued the research task in 79, the preliminary research work was completed in 83. The Ministry of National Defense approved the project, the research was completed in 89, and it was finalized and put into mass production in 90.

Xie Wei didn't know the specific reason.

Now the troops should be ready to issue the research and development task, and the task was given to Jiangbei Machinery Factory.

Shancheng Jiangbei Machinery Factory was also a subordinate unit of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, so Xie Wei's statement would not arouse anyone's suspicion.

"The Jiangbei Machinery Factory in Shancheng has not done in-depth research in this area... It only produced rockets before..."

"The project is progressing so quickly, perhaps we should ask the principal to ask the troops for some support."

"It's almost there, otherwise we wouldn't be in such a hurry to test it. This test was fine, and the next test will be with a warhead. Right now the troops are in urgent need of disposable rocket launchers to deal with fortifications."

And this thing?
When will Li Rui ask the army for funds?
Suddenly, Xie Wei remembered what Li Rui had told him not to regret when he asked for the 350 million yuan CNC system funding allocated by the department.

Could it be...

"In the counterattack at the beginning of the year, the monkeys had a large number of M72 disposable rocket launchers captured from the US military. In the case of a small-scale encounter, our troops suffered a lot. The Type 69 40mm cannon itself is an anti-tank, and its anti-fortification capability is weak... The front-line troops reacted strongly. The Type 70 is a failed product. Even the improved Type 74-70 in 1 had poor performance, low power, and a high failure rate. The troops directly refused to use it..."

When Zhai Xinguo introduced the situation, he looked at Xie Wei with a strange look.

Obviously, he suspected that Xie Wei asked Tang Daoxian to develop the rocket launcher and provided financial support from the very beginning because he knew the news.

How would Xie Wei know?

I never thought about it.

“How much did the troops give?”

Xie Wei didn't want to face Zhai Xinguo's questioning gaze, so he quickly changed the subject, "The demand is huge, so the money should be high, right?"

"I don't know. The funds were given by the School Enterprise Office. Principal Li just urged us to get it done quickly. The army was in urgent need, so they didn't give us any money..."

Zhai Xinguo shook his head.

"The old guy is really not a good person!"

Xie Wei cursed angrily.

The old guy asked for money from the army under the pretext of a school-enterprise project, and then embezzled the money!

Thinking of the note he asked him to write a few days ago, Xie Wei became even more upset.

Fortunately.

Once this thing is made, it can be taken directly to the battlefield for actual combat testing. I hope the monkeys' fortifications are stronger.

This anger can only be vented on the monkey.

Seventh Machinery Department.

Minister's Office.

"Minister, you have to make the decision for us! We finally got a project from the army, but it was snatched away by Harbin Institute of Technology..."

Ning Juntao, director of Jiangbei Machinery Factory, was crying to the minister.

"what happened?"

Can't get around this bastard Li Rui?

Even if he is blocked outside the gate of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, it still makes me upset!

"Comrade Juntao, this can't be blamed on Comrade Li Rui!"

After hearing this, Minister Zheng was also secretly surprised, wondering how many things Li Rui had done behind his back.

“They are trying to steal the project!”

Ning Juntao was speechless.

This guy Li Rui didn't just steal their project.

"They are a research and development unit, and you are a production unit. Can you cooperate?"
