Chapter 121 Materials, the cornerstone of advanced technology
This process standard is of course very important. It represents a systematic standard. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a programmatic guiding document for the future development direction of related industries. △↗
A standard with sufficient forward-looking consideration can point out the correct development direction for relevant industries, guide the industry to the right track and move onto the fast lane of development.
Qi Lei hurriedly introduced to Secretary Liang, Deputy Secretary Shang, and Du Haibo what craft standards mean.
For example, space shuttles, airships, balloons, jets, gliders, and kites can all be included in the category of aircraft.
If there is no standardization, it is naturally up to the manufacturer to decide what to develop and how much money to invest.
This is a disorderly development because many ideas, limited to the materials and manufacturing levels at that time, can only be left on the design drawings and there is no possibility of realization. Investing funds, manpower and material resources into these projects is a waste.
The disorderly development of the entire industry is a huge waste, which makes projects that need more investment not sufficient support, delaying the speed of technology upgrades and promotion.
If a large-scale buyer gives a procurement framework: requiring flights within the atmosphere, there is naturally no need to study such a high-end product like a space shuttle; if there is power, then kites, gliders, and balloons will be eliminated; the only goal left behind is the only jet.
Therefore, any company that needs to be maintained by this large-scale buyer will focus on the research and development and production of jets without being distracted by the space shuttle and glider. It can be invested in more resources and focus on details, making the product more excellent and the performance better.
The United States is most successful in this regard.
They convened the most outstanding scientists and experts in the United States to discuss and formulated the first set of military product procurement standards in 1968, with strict regulations on every component and component.
Due to the large amount of military products purchases and high profits, a large number of suppliers have ended their disorderly development and actively moved closer to military standards, and adopted higher requirements and stricter production processes to produce electronic products in order to win military products. The suppliers' active self-upgrade has driven the development of precision manufacturing, chemical and other industries. A large number of advanced precision manufacturing equipment are on the market, which has made the industrial strength of the entire United States rise, not only surpassing its old rival, the Soviet Union, but also made European countries such as Britain and Germany also give up the disadvantage.
This standard system is so strict and technically forward-looking that it is unprecedented.
According to statistics, since the first military standard was released, the component manufacturing capabilities of the US microelectronics industry have increased by an order of magnitude in three to five years.
Its development speed is astonishing.
With the example of the United States' own development, the effect is so good, and it is in the purpose of unifying the supply of military products. European and NATO countries have successively regarded the US military standards as their own standard for purchasing products.
The country has been closed for a long time, and because of the lack of communication, it has been backward again and again in the process of catching up with the world trend. Every time I chased after a while, I looked up and saw that people had already run ahead. Although we tried our best, the gap was getting bigger and bigger, so big that it made the majority of scientific researchers feel desperate.
It seems like we will never catch up with others!
In this urgent mood, domestic senior management, various ministries, scientific research groups, and scientific and technological workers have unanimously expressed the call to formulate a scientific military and industry standard based on our own strength.
Especially for the troops that have extremely high product stability and quality requirements, facing the chaotic military-industrial enterprises ten years later, they supply a large number of inferior military products, blowing guns and not bombing shells, etc., they are really unbearable. They shout to standardize product production processes and improve military production quality, and do not use inferior products to charge them.
These inferior military products can at most cause more trouble in training and exercises in peacetime, and will be shamed in front of superior leaders.
But in wartime, this is deadly!
To put it bluntly, a key battle may end up losing a crushing defeat because of these inferior military products!
Just as the whole country reached a consensus and was preparing to refer to the US military standards and formulate our own military product standards, a test report on the electronic devices of the military sub-district appeared in front of everyone.
Guan Fei successfully invested abroad, and the Hong Kong government set up an electronics industrial park, which attracted international giants to compete, which increased the importance of the domestic side. The Ministry of Electronics Industry and Logistics immediately organized an expert team to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the components produced in the military sub-district.
The results of the evaluation surprised all experts.
The quality of components in the military sub-district is better than that of domestic military products. The failure time, working limits in high and low temperature environments, working limits in humid environments, and anti-electromagnetic interference capabilities also exceed domestic products. As a result, its electrical performance also exceeds that of domestic electronic components, meeting the standards disclosed by the International Electrical Organization, and is only lower than that of the US military standards.
After receiving the test report, the Ministry of Electronics Industry was ashamed, but the military was overjoyed.
Being able to produce qualified civilian products is not far from producing military products that meet the standards. The military sub-district’s homemade production lines and the components supplied in batches have given the military hope.
Take printed boards for example. Civil products require 33 microns, while military products require 50 microns, or thicker to increase redundancy. Enough redundancy can prevent them from being broken down by strong currents during electronic confrontation and working normally in complex electromagnetic environments on the battlefield.
The 33 microns of the civil product does not mean that the thickness can only be applied to 33 microns, but there is no need to thicken it. Thickened copper foil requires multiple plating, which is not cost-effective. Anyway, civil electronic products are mostly used in your own home and in the case of excellent electromagnetic environment, so of course, you can save as much as possible.
If you can produce 33 micron technology, you will be able to slightly improve the production line and process flow and make fifty micron boards. There is no doubt about this!
At most, the defective rate is higher and the cost is higher, and the screening is a little more troublesome, rather than being completely impossible!
Even if some indicators are really not achieved, the distance between them is not too big. It has laid a solid foundation for clarifying the R&D direction in China, saving R&D investment, shortening R&D time.
In addition, all sampling tests state that electronic products with the same product number have the same process effect and all electrical indicators tend to be consistent. This proves that the Military Sub-district has a clear set of process specifications, requiring that each branch of components must abide by the specifications.
This is even more amazing!
The consistency of electrical indicators is not for good looking, but for practical needs.
If the electrical indicators are consistent, the same numbered components on electronic instruments can be easily called, without reconsidering filter interference, making it easier to maintain. If the electrical indicators are consistent, there is no need to test the components of different manufacturers when designing products, design the interference redundant circuits separately, and check the table directly. The difficulty of system integration is greatly reduced.
This is of immeasurable significance for large-scale consumption during battles.
As the head of the military intelligence department, Qi Lei has the authority to know the relevant information. He has long wanted to have a good talk with Guan Fei and get this set of technical specifications from him.
Even if it is an incomplete and incomplete version, even if it is not fully suitable for domestic electronic companies, it can help the country expand in this way and come up with military standards that meet our own actual conditions as soon as possible.
He just asked indirectly, but who knew that Guan Fei admitted it calmly, as calm as him, could not contain his ecstasy and showed his incompetence. He immediately asked if he could transfer it.
"I am already planning to transfer this set of technical specifications to China, but I'm afraid you don't want them." Guan Fei did not hesitate and immediately gave an affirmative reply.
Not to mention his feelings for the country, domestic support for the survival of the military sub-district in the cracks is also an indispensable and important part of achieving his future goals!
There are less than 100,000 people in a corner of the military district and only 100 factories.
In the future, if you want to expand to the limit, you will only accommodate a population of around 300,000 at most, and it is impossible for all of them to be workers. The factories are amazing, but in terms of population, most of them are medium-sized factories with one or two hundred people.
Such a few people and such a few factories are divided into chemical industry, smelting, machinery, electronics and other industries, and it is barely enough to achieve the production capacity of a complex equipment.
It is even more fantastic to manufacture on a large scale.
So when will it take to meet his minimum requirements and achieve his ambitions?
To this end, it is absolutely indispensable to make the country an important part of the industrial chain. According to his plan, the Military Sub-district makes rapid progress in the development plan for precision manufacturing technology. The spread of technical support for the country can produce many complex external components that meet the requirements, and then assemble them by the Military Sub-district. This is a realistic need for both sides to benefit from it.
Just a mere process specification, how much is worth it?
This was originally the first edition formulated in the early 1990s based on our own seven-special system in the 1970s and referring to the US military standards. At that time, the domestic manufacturing industry was still weak, and this system specification was roughly equivalent to the level of the Western mid-to-early 1980s.
In the late 1970s, this set of specifications had a slightly higher requirement, which was a bit beyond the domestic manufacturing capacity. However, because it was also referenced to the technological development since the 1980s, it also had a very objective guiding role in guiding the technological development in the next stage of China.
With this set of standards as a reference, I think that China will no longer put forward all unrealistic requirements, and will be more economical in R&D investment and more significant results.
If he doesn't reach out to his home, he will find a way to give it to the other party.
He hopes to promote various domestic industries to develop faster than the original history, and then allow the military sub-district to benefit, accelerate the pace of development, and get closer to his goals as soon as possible.
Once again, Qi Lei's usual serious face was smiling and narrowed his eyes, and he was extremely happy.
People in this era still have a deep feeling about the country's strength after being poor for too long.
Dedicating oneself to the motherland, even if it is broken into pieces, there are definitely many people who have this idea, but it is precisely the mainstream social thoughts.
This is especially true for scientific researchers and soldiers who shoulder heavy responsibilities!
Guan Fei promised to hand over the full set of craft specifications to China, which made him more ecstatic than simply treating Qi Lei to a big meal and how much it cost to give him.
Guan Fei is indeed our comrade and the closest comrade in the army.
Even though he went abroad and fought hard in the jungle of the southwest, he still thought about his motherland and never forgot his country when he had good things.
Such a good comrade will not be in vain for the strong support of the country!
It’s a pity that he is just a military division leader, not a general secretary of the Communist Party. Otherwise, the country would spare no effort to give the greatest support, and it is even impossible for the military delegation to return to the rank of the military.
He looked at Guan Fei with a happy expression on his face, and he made a rare joke: "You pulled us out today, right? You should have given us this set of craft specifications? You are still mysterious, it would be a pity not to be an intelligence officer!"
"Of course not!"
Unexpectedly, Guan Fei denied it. Then, in a look of silence, lowered his voice and said solemnly: "What I will give to you later is the latest bulletproof vest material developed by the US military, Kevlar fiber, alumina bulletproof ceramic insert, aramid bulletproof helmet's complete process flow, and related equipment manufacturing drawings!"
Although his voice was so low that it was a thunderous sound, it exploded in everyone's ears, shaking their bodies so hard that they couldn't help but shake gently.
Even Guan Fei’s guard Li Qing couldn’t help but scream.
Qi Lei was so excited that his heart was about to jump out, his throat was choked, and after a while, he jumped out word by word and said, "Comrade Guan Fei! Thank you!"
Looking at everyone's pious and happy expression, Guan Fei wanted to smile easily, but he couldn't laugh.
The longer this era is, the more he becomes integrated into the era, and can understand how much sacrifices and dedication the older generation has made for this country.
He is not a firm man, but he absolutely loves this country.
When he thought of the war in southern Xinjiang that will begin early next year, and when he thought of the countless children who were stained with blood for the country, he couldn't help but feel tears in his eyes, and he wished he could do something for these respectable brothers and comrades.
However, he did not have any research and development results of the US military's bulletproof vests and bulletproof helmets.
The batch of drawings he gave under the name of US military research data was actually a kind of aramid fiber and shell material commonly used in game console pads and carry bags in the 1930s. These materials were actually developed by my country and were also used as bulletproof equipment materials in the early 21st century. Later, with the development of new weapons, these achievements were no longer enough to meet the protection needs, and the military was converted to civilian products and used.
Therefore, when Guan Fei brought back to this era, the most important thing is not advanced game programs, game console design and manufacturing, ordnance and weapon structure, but the research and development principles, manufacturing equipment, and processing processes of various high-performance materials commonly used in game consoles in later generations!
With these materials that exceed the times, as long as their manufacturing capabilities meet the requirements, Guan Fei is confident that he will create a copycat that is based on the famous weapons in history, but has better performance than the blue ones, surpassing the original version!
Material!
Material!
Or the material!
Materials are above everything else and are the cornerstone of all advanced designs becoming reality!
Without Kevlar, the US military's personal protection devices can only be fantasy; similarly, with aramid fiber and without the US military's R&D materials, we can also create our own high-performance body armor!
If it weren't for the manufacturing of these production lines being too complicated and involved too many interdisciplinary disciplines, the military sub-district was not able to manufacture them yet, so he would have put into production in batches and supplied them to the domestic market in large quantities.
It’s a pity that the development time from scratch is still too short, the industrial foundation of the military sub-district is still too weak, and there are so many things to do. In addition, it took too much time to copy this batch of drawings, and it was delayed until today. Instead of keeping it yourself and chewing it slowly, it is better to hand it over to the country, which has a greater effect.
I just hope it's still time!
Even if he can't catch up with the counterattack at the beginning of next year, he hopes to play a huge role in the future rotation, so that he can feel more at ease.
Guan Fei's thoughts fluctuated and he barely pulled the corners of his mouth, restraining his mood: "It's nothing, this is what I should do. I just hope that after the technology is digested in China, we can give us a set of production lines for free, and we can produce our own bulletproof vests so that the soldiers will not sacrifice in vain when fighting against the enemy!"
"No problem!" Although Qi Lei agreed without hesitation, he agreed without hesitation.
"Comrade Guan Fei!" Secretary Liang looked at Guan Fei deeply, patted his shoulder with his big hand, his chest fluctuated rapidly, and obviously he was not calm. "Either you, you educated youth soldiers, will not ignore them in the country. Don't worry, it's the same old saying, if we eat in one bite, you will not be missing yours! I am not saying this as the president of the branch, but as an old Communist Party member. I will also use my strength to help you as much as possible!"
Chapter completed!
