A moment later, Wang Ye and the truck arrived at the machinery factory first.
"Stop the car, let's wait here for a while!"
Following Wang Ye's order, the truck stopped in the open space inside the gate of the machinery factory. Wang Ye jumped out of the passenger seat, waved to the short-cut security guard standing at the door, and waited for him to come over and said:
"Make a phone call and call the old factory director and other leaders over."
"Let's just say that the experts sent to us by the ministry are here. Please come out to greet them at the door. Of course, if you are busy in the workshop, forget it."
Hearing Wang Ye's voice, the short-haired young man subconsciously saluted. Then he seemed to think of something else and shouted:
"yes!"
Then he trotted to the guard box to make a phone call, while Wang Ye explained to everyone in other steel plants:
"They say it's better to choose the right day than to hit it."
"Since they just happened to catch up with the completion of our first weapon station, naturally they cannot be left out for testing. Just wait!"
"Let them see if the level of our steel complex at the Red Star Machinery Factory is feasible."
Regarding Wang Ye's statement, Lao Liu and a group of people nodded. After a while, the old factory director rushed over with a group of senior executives from the machinery factory. There were even a group of middle-aged aunts, wearing the red clothes they made before, pushing gongs and drums and other equipment. .
Suddenly Wang Ye couldn't help but laugh and shouted to the old factory director:
"It's just a simple welcome. The superiors didn't notify us in advance. Does it need to be so warm and grand?"
The old factory manager walked over, waved his hand and said:
"If you don't know, forget it. Now that we all know, we can't be rude!"
"They are all experts and engineers. They come from such a far away place. How can we not show our support?"
"Besides, it's not surprising that there are so many people. If it weren't for the lack of time, I would still think this scale is too small!"
Just as the old factory director was speaking, accompanied by the roar of a car engine, at the end of the road at the entrance of the machinery factory, the bus that Wang Ye had just seen drove over with billowing smoke.
"Quick, quick, quick! Get into position! Start beating!"
Along with the voice of the old factory director, the aunts on the scene began to get busy. For a while, the sound of drums sounded in their ears, and they felt like their heads were shaking.
"A warm welcome! A warm welcome!"
Amidst the slogans shouted by the aunties, several buses drove in and finally parked in the open space inside the gate. This area has gradually developed into a parking lot.
"Report to Factory Director Wang and follow the handover order from the superior department."
"Our convoy has sent people over to you. Please make reasonable arrangements."
After the bus stopped, the driver's door of the leading bus opened immediately, and then a young car soldier ran over, saluted Wang Ye and said so.
Wang Ye reached out and shook his hand, then said with a smile:
"Thank you for your hard work, go and have a rest!"
At this moment, the old people on the bus got off one after another. At a glance, there were basically more men than women, and many gay women were the family members brought here by gay men.
Regarding this item, Wang Ye originally proposed and promised that you can bring your partners and immediate relatives, such as children who have not yet joined the workforce and are studying, or parents who are elderly and need care.
Then, Wang Ye waved his hand, and the welcoming drums and sounds were extinguished. Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Ye faced the old people and said loudly with a smile on his face:
"First of all, welcome all teachers to Hongxing Machinery Factory!"
"But Hongxing Machinery Factory was our past name, and now our new name is Laiyang Hongxing Machinery and Steel Complex!"
Although these people present are all technicians and engineers from scientific research institutes, in theory, if you are doing normal work, it is more polite to call "a certain engineer" or your title, or it would be more respectable to add "comrade" as your surname.
But Wang Ye didn't do this. Instead, he used a higher title, that is, teacher!
Today's era is not yet an era where anyone can be called a teacher in a few decades. Teachers are still a profession that is highly respected by everyone. In addition, Wang Ye is indeed planning to let them become teachers in the future. There is nothing wrong with shouting like this, it is respectful and solemn enough.
Then, before these people could react, Wang Ye continued to shout with a smile:
"First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Ye, and I am the director of the Red Star Machinery and Steel Complex."
"I took the college entrance examination the year it resumed, and then entered Huaqing Mechanical College to study under the current dean of the Mechanical College, Mr. Sun Canghai."
"After completing my master's degree this year, I took the initiative to come to Hongxing Machinery Factory to be responsible for the reform of the machinery factory's military-to-civilian conversion. Judging from the current situation, our reform has initially achieved the first step of success."
"Because in less than three months, we have earned more than 40 million US dollars in foreign exchange for the country!"
"However, during this process, our great shortcomings were also exposed, that is, the lack of sufficient professional technicians and senior engineers. For this reason, I took the initiative to apply to the Ministry of Defense of the Fifth Ministry of Machinery and invited you to come and participate in this grand event. Contribute to the industrial development and foreign exchange earning of the motherland!”
"Secondly, please forgive me for asking without telling you. Your importance is really unparalleled in my opinion!"
"Age can only limit the physical body, but it cannot imprison wisdom. Your wisdom and expertise are the most precious wealth. I hope that in the future, the consortium can create a complete scientific research and technology system with your efforts."
"Finally, I would like to welcome you all again and thank you for your willingness to accept re-employment and your great spirit of dedicating yourself to the country! Thank you!"
"Of course, now or in the future, if anyone is dissatisfied with our machinery and steel complex, you can also apply to leave. I will provide you with a certificate and send it back to your original unit."
“And provide travel and related labor subsidies.”
"Thank you everyone!"
Following Wang Ye's voice, the group of old people who had just gotten out of the car were stunned and stunned!
In fact, the reason why Wang Ye said so much and even boasted was to find a way to "convince" this group of people. In today's era, seniority ranking is indeed an objective problem, not to mention these retired people. The old men and aunts in the original unit are all technically capable, and there is no doubt about the pride in their hearts. If you can't suppress him, he will probably look down on you!
That's why Wang Ye said this.
First, state your academic qualifications and teachers. In the scientific research system, just these two sentences can overwhelm 90% of people to some extent. Then, maybe you can also mingle to gain some connections. After all, my teacher is also a master of mechanics. .
Secondly, it is very important to explain the foreign exchange earnings of the machinery factory to prove that its ability is beyond doubt. The future development of the machinery factory will be stable and good, giving them a full sense of expectations.
Finally, sincerely state the reason why they are here, explain their importance, affirm their value and role, and praise their level and skills. After all, who doesn’t like to be flattered, let alone the flattery coming from such a person? A young man with high academic qualifications and strong abilities!
as expected.
After Wang Ye finished speaking, their faces were filled with surprise. Then they looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes. It would not be an exaggeration to call them looking at each other.
If the weapons station gave them the first wave of shock on the road, then Wang Ye's words now gave them the second wave of shock. They no longer had any contempt for this third-tier factory in their hearts!
Finally, after a few seconds, a bald old man who looked to be in his early fifties hesitated and said:
"Hello, Director Wang!"
"You just said that you have earned more than 40 million US dollars in foreign exchange for the country in less than three months?"
"Can I know exactly what the product is? How it's made?"
Having said this, he seemed to have thought of something. He put down his luggage and took out the re-employment letter from his pocket, handed it to Wang Ye and said:
"This is our re-employment letter. From now on, I will be a member of our machinery factory and our consortium."
"At such an old age, if you retire, you won't be re-employed, right? Haha."
In the end, he couldn't help but laugh at himself, and the meaning of these words was very simple, that is, from now on, we will be grasshoppers on the same rope. I have been transferred to the Red Star Machinery Factory, and we are all our own people. It can be said that the secret will not be revealed.
Hearing what he said, Wang Ye waved his hands with a smile and said:
"Of course you can know, but not now."
"I will introduce it to you and everyone later, but now we are going to test our latest product."
"I don't know if you noticed it on the road just now, but this is the one inside the truck. This is the latest product developed by our consortium, the medium and close range fire support weapon station."
"So I wonder if you are interested in observing our entire testing process?"
As Wang Ye spoke, the expressions of everyone present suddenly became exciting. Only some of them were engaged in weapons, such as the one in front of Wang Ye who was basically bald. The others were distributed in various fields, but in the end , are all within the military industry system, and cannot be separated from weapons!
"Want to see! Want to see!"
"Yes, yes, I noticed it just now!"
"But what about the luggage?"
Immediately, there was a chorus of agreement. Wang Ye waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said with a smile:
"Everyone's luggage will be delivered to our expert apartment by a dedicated person."
“And everyone can rest assured that it’s absolutely safe.”
"Everyone, please follow me. We are going to the testing site. By the way, we can also take you for a walk and get acquainted with our factory."
The people present were not too young. After sitting in the car for such a long time, their legs and feet had already felt severely suffocated. Naturally, they had no objections to Wang Ye's proposal. Then a group of short-haired young men from the concierge rushed out and began to give Carrying luggage.
After a while, everyone arrived at the shooting range, and those who came by car in advance were already ready.
I saw that the weapon station was still fixed on the special bracket, and the bracket was tightly fixed on the anchor point of the shooting position of the test site through screws to ensure that it would not deflect or roll due to recoil.
Many old people looked at the strange turret on the test platform. The bald old man hesitated and asked:
"Director Wang, you just said, what is this weapons station called?"
"What does it mean?"
Nowadays, the term "weapon station" has not yet been coined, and the old people present naturally do not know what it means. Wang Ye nodded, watching the staff connecting the ammunition supply system of the weapon station, and explained at the same time:
"Yes, I call it a medium and close fire support weapons station."
"Unlike ordinary machine guns, machine guns, and artillery, it is not composed of a single weapon, but a combination of multiple weapons. At the same time, its biggest feature is that it uses a hidden weapon like a turret. The operation plan, rather than the machine gun or cannon firing position, requires soldiers to operate with exposure."
"In this way, soldiers hiding in the vehicle can greatly increase safety."
Suddenly, the bald old man and others showed expressions of realization, and the staff over there also trotted over and said to Wang Ye:
"Report to the factory director, we are ready!"
"You can start testing!"
Wang Ye nodded, and then ordered:
"let's start!"
Following Wang Ye's order, the staff member nodded and left. A moment later, with a roaring sound, the double-barreled 20mm cannon in the middle of the weapons station opened fire!
At that moment, the muzzle flames were puffing out, and at the same time, smoke and dust instantly started flying from the target one kilometer away!
After the minute-long continuous firing ended, the whole world seemed to be quiet. Wang Ye introduced to the many elderly people next to him:
"The first weapon at the weapons station is these two 20mm cannons."
"The original source of the technology should be the Oerlikon Company in Europe. It was a product commonly used by multinational fighter aircraft during World War II. Our country copied it more than 20 years ago, and the former Red Star Machinery Factory produced it."
"During the South Vietnam War, it was supported and used by South Vietnam as an anti-aircraft gun to attack old American helicopters and other targets."
"The overall production is not difficult. I simply modified it and installed it on it."
Just after Wang Ye finished his introduction, the second round of testing began at the same time, but this time, it was obvious that the sound was much more shocking than before, and you could even feel the ground shaking slightly!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The two howitzer cannons began to roar. At first, they were in direct fire mode. Then, with the operation of the staff, they switched to projectile mode. In just a few seconds, they weaved a field in the open space one kilometer away. The explosion zone, if you are facing infantry, has become a killing field at this moment. No one can survive under the rain of grenades!
At that moment, the old people watching had expressions of surprise on their faces!
Originally, they were still wondering. The caliber of this machine gun seemed too large, but the turret was a little small, and it seemed that it would be difficult to fit it in. However, they never expected that this was not a traditional machine gun at all. , but howitzer cannon!
"Grenade weapons are also the signature of our machinery factory. They are widely exported to earn foreign exchange. The 40mm high-speed grenade has controllable recoil and an effective range of three kilometers. It is very effective against manpower and lightly armored targets."
"In addition to these two weapons, our 120mm rockets can also be added next to them, as you will see later."
Suddenly, many old people present suddenly understood, and at the same time, many people finally understood why Wang Ye called this thing a weapon station, because this turret is mainly used to achieve better attack and combat effects through mixing and matching!
For example, the fire suppression of machine guns, the explosive damage of grenades, and the long-range attacks of rockets.
"But, Director Wang."
Just as the staff was loading rockets on the weapons station, an old man with glasses next to him hesitated and said:
"You mentioned export just now. If they are used for export, there is naturally nothing to say about these two howitzer cannons, because there seems to be no similar weapons in the past, but these two conventional cannons, I think they should be changed."
"After all, the 20mm cannon was active during World War II and had a variety of ammunition types. It matched the hardships and was not conducive to supplies and ammunition acquisition."
"But if you replace it with a 23mm cannon, the ammunition versatility will be greatly increased!"
"And if 20 is replaced by 23, the recoil and size will not change much."
Hearing the upright words of the bespectacled old man, the bald old man couldn't stop him even if he wanted to stop him. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly, while Wang Ye said with a smile without caring:
"Of course. What you said makes sense. I designed it this way just because the machine factory is better at producing 20 mm."
"But the specific replacement plan and internal design changes have to be made by you!"
"In fact, the weapon station you see is just my design. In the future, we will need more similar weapon stations to achieve more diversified combat effects, and the design of these weapon stations will have to trouble everyone. Got it!"
"And this is also one of the reasons why I invite everyone to the machinery factory. Can you please?"
As soon as Wang Ye finished speaking, the bald old man breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Wang Ye was not a narrow-minded person. The old man with glasses next to him had already been looking at the weapons station with burning eyes. When he heard Wang Ye say this, He nodded quickly and said:
"Okay! Okay! Of course, no problem!"
After a sparse response, the bald old man thought for a moment and then asked:
"Director Wang, what vehicle are you planning to install the weapon station on?"
"It can't be used as a bunker weapon, right?"
Regarding this question, Wang Ye explained with a smile:
"We are currently designing an eight-wheeled multifunctional infantry fighting vehicle. If there are teachers in the field of vehicle engineering, they can join this project and help us advance the project."
"But in any case, it will take some time for the birth of this infantry fighting vehicle."
"So now I am planning to install this weapon station on the site of our Type 59 tank!"
As soon as these words came out, some people were surprised, some were astonished, and some people had a look of joy on their faces after being stunned for a short time!
