"So, we can't do that project?" Zheng Yucheng asked.

Xie Kai was stunned.

The base budget is not the 65,000 tons of large press project?

Why does Zheng Yucheng ask like this!

"Originally, if 45,000 tons can be used, I will first make 65,000 tons, etc. Prioritize the modification of the Super Seven and Yun-10..." Wang Guilin explained, "The funds required for these two projects will exceed our budget. There are also engines..."

Xie Kai rolled his eyes when he heard this.

It's really misappropriated.

"We had to start with a 65,000-ton large press. The technical reserves were insufficient and the time was too long, so we chose to build 45,000 tons first. If there was no 65,000-ton large press, many of our projects would be seriously restricted. When we started to do this, time would have to be wasted." Xie Kai said seriously, "Even if the aircraft carrier pre-research project is stopped, the funds for this cannot be misappropriated."

"The misappropriation of funds cannot be a habit!" Xie Kai's face was extremely determined.

So far, there has been no misappropriation of funds at the base, but Zheng Yucheng and the others are becoming more and more accustomed to paying money directly from small treasuries. Now that the supervision of funds has become strict, it is not so easy.

He actually started to misappropriate project funds.

"Once some things are opened, they can't be taken away later. Just like a large press project, once it is misappropriated, the amount of funds misappropriated can be built. Can the aircraft carrier be studied? No, in order not to let the money invested before be wasted, they can only invest more money, and then create a vicious cycle. The aircraft carrier cannot be built..."

"Okay, okay, this hasn't been misappropriated yet!" Zheng Yucheng's old face was a little uneasy and interrupted Xie Kai's words.

Wang Guilin next to him laughed sneeringly.

He had long told Zheng Yucheng that it was not feasible, and he had no choice but to believe it.

"Let's take a break early, and test the big press tomorrow morning. As long as the test is successful, the turbo disc of the turbofan engine will be tested at 3 pm..." Wang Guilin saw that it was already very late, so he reminded him to take a break.

The matter about the switch factory has been arranged. If you finish this place, you will have to do that again soon.

Xie Kai looked at Wang Guilin in confusion, "A good time for the zodiac auspicious day?"

"Why is there so much nonsense? The overall turbine disc in the heating furnace will only start ignition and heating when the test machine is successful. The test machine is nine o'clock and ten o'clock will ignite and the temperature will reach three o'clock in the afternoon." Wang Guilin gave Xie Kai a blank look.

After hearing this, Xie Kai felt a little relieved.

If you really rely on the auspicious days of zodiac, you will think about it and what is wrong.

At the Xinyue Factory Guesthouse, Xie Kai tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. This large press was too important. Many subsequent project plans had to be successful.

In addition, due to the immature technology and immature technology in China, several large presses in China have begun to enter the late stage of their lifespan. This large press has undertaken too many key components for engineering projects.

I couldn't sleep, so I simply ran to the large press workshop. There were technicians there, and Chu Guorong and others couldn't stay in the guesthouse. They stayed in that workshop every day to ensure the success of the large press test.

The large press workshop at night is brightly lit, and almost every corner is illuminated by the lights.

The 45,000-ton press with a huge fuselage gives people a heavy sense of oppression under the light.

The huge parts made of steel all look so sturdy.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Xie Kai coming, Minister Chen Hong asked on his own initiative. The old man's eyes were red, but his face was full of energy.

"Leader, are you not resting? Your body is the capital of revolution." Xie Kai did not say why he came.

"If you don't watch the trial production of this large press succeed, you can't sleep. This is a small step in the advancement of forging technology, but it is a big step forward in our country's overall manufacturing strength."

"Leader, the increase in the pressure of 10,000 tons is no longer a small step." Xie Kai could not understand. In the eyes of such a big shot, the increase in the pressure of 10,000 tons is only a small step.

This is indeed the case with the country's overall manufacturing strength.

Chen Hong looked at Xie Kai and smiled, but didn't say anything.

"Hey, Uncle Zheng and Uncle Wang are here too?" Xie Kai was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to continue chatting. He turned his head and saw that Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin were also here at the workshop gate not far away.

"What do they say about the big press?" Chen Hong asked suddenly.

"The budget for next year is 150 million yuan. Our foundry base in Jiayuguan will be laid and started construction at the end of the first month." Xie Kai looked at Chen Hong, "Minister, what major projects are there?"

"You can't do it without big projects? People who engage in industry always hope that the country's manufacturing strength will be better, right? We are a big country, but we are not a big country, let alone a strong country." The old man's tone was a little lonely.

"Yes, at the current speed, after 20 or 30 years, our country will start to become a manufacturing power from a manufacturing power." Xie Kai told the old man with certainty, "Which other countries has not developed for hundreds of years? Less than 40 years since the founding of New China, our country has already had such an industrial scale, which is already very good."

Although he is not satisfied with the current situation of domestic industrial technology, Xie Kai also knows that this is already very fast.

Even when the Soviet Union collapsed, China was the only country left in the world with a complete industrial system.

"The Soviet Union was developing faster than ours."

"There is no way. They caught up with a good opportunity. The world economic crisis, and they almost emptied the entire United States. Later, they caught up with World War II. More than half of the Germans' troops were used to force them to develop industry. Then, they wrestled with the Americans and fought to be the elder brother. Everything in the country serves the military industry..." Xie Kai knew that the old man knew it, but he still comforted him.

Without Shen Hong, the country's industry might not have reached this level.

When the 12,000-ton free forging press was built, there was no experience or technology in the production of large-scale machines in China, especially the four columns. Under the leadership of Shen Hong, all the technical experts in the country were mobilized to join in public relations. Using the newly emerged electroslag welding technology, four columns with a length of 18 meters and a weight of 80 tons were welded, and then the 12,000-ton free forging press was successfully built.

At the same time, the manufacturing processes of other high-pressure containers, high-pressure cylinders, etc. have been solved.

Not only Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin came, but even Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan entered the workshop at 3 a.m.

"All the big guys are here. If a missile is coming and everyone is taken over, how much impact will China's industry be?" When I was bored, I saw a group of big guys discussing next to the big press. A group of technicians were doing the final inspection before the test, and Xie Kai was thinking randomly.

Until the sky slowly brightens.

At some point, Xie Kai fell asleep in the office next to the large press workshop. When he woke up, there were already many people in the workshop.

"It's started?" Xie Kai hurried out.

The driving on the large press has begun to move.

All parts of the entire workshop will be fully inspected.

In order to ensure safety, non-staff members are not allowed to approach the large press except for specially divided areas.

"Preparation of each system, preparation of each system, the countdown to test the machine is 30 minutes..."

Chu Guorong personally presided over the test work.

Xie Kai couldn't help but wonder, didn't he say he wanted to cut the ribbon?

It's done without sound?

"They think it's too wasteful, so they put the big red flower on the big press, look at the top of the top." Zheng Yucheng pointed at the top of the big press with Xie Kai who had crawled beside him.

Sure enough, in the top area, a big red flower hung in the middle of a red satin, which was wrapped around the top of the large press like a scarf.

The waiting time is always so slow.

A group of big guys were waiting silently and watching.

But Xie Kai was getting more and more unable to bear it.

"The countdown to ten seconds begins, ten, nine..."

Finally hearing this voice, Xie Kai became excited, and he didn't know why he was excited.

"Three, two, one, hydraulic system starts!"

"Buzz~"

A large buzzing sound sounded, and it was built separately outside the workshop. The water equipped with medium was continuously increasing the pressure through the huge hydraulic pipe and quickly moved towards the various mechanisms of the hydraulic press.

Except for the sound of hydraulic motors, there are almost no other sounds in the entire workshop.

“20% pressure!”

“30% pressure!”

“50% pressure…”

“Mould lift…”

Although the pressure mechanism has been inspected many times and the pressure mechanism has been inspected separately, this is the first time that thousands of tons of moving parts have been lifted up in a huge pressure environment.

A fine bead of sweat appeared on Chu Guorong's forehead. As the order was issued, his eyes were fixed on the moving mechanism in the middle of the huge machine that was motionless.

Zheng Yucheng and others were also nervous.

Shen Hong even widened his eyes, and blue veins appeared on his neck.

"You must succeed! You must succeed!" Xie Kai didn't know when he became so expectant.

He had expected it before, but he did not expect it now.

"Ga~"

A harsh metal friction sounded.

"It's moving! It's moving!" Zheng Yucheng made a voice excitedly.

"I'm so excited, I have to lift it up before I know..." Xie Kai despised the old guy for no reason.

Shen Hong looked at the old and the young, smiled and said nothing.

Under the action of huge hydraulic pressure, the steel mechanism of thousands of tons was slowly lifted up and then slowly fell down.

"Didn't it be smashed with one hammer?" Zheng Yuzheng was a little disappointed when he saw this situation.

What he hoped was that the hydraulic press would be raised high and then smashed down violently, preferably shaking the ground.

"Boom boom boom..."

The driving on the top of the factory moved up, and the huge metal pliers hung under the driving were clamped out from the heating furnace next to it, a red-hot disk blank with a diameter of more than one meter was clamped out, and sent to the feeding port next to the large press. With the assistance of a worker wearing thick heat insulation suit, he slowly moved to the middle of the mold of the large press.
Chapter completed!
