Chapter 108 Live-fire Test
At noon that day, Yang Dong killed chickens and fish and treated Xu Qiang and others to a sumptuous lunch.

During this period, the specific details of the affiliation contract between the two parties have been almost discussed. After Yang Dong goes to the county to apply for a business license, the two parties can formally sign the contract.

In fact, Xu Qiang had been thinking about his own affiliation contract for some time. It can be said that apart from collecting the affiliation fee of 2,100 yuan per person, the village does not care about anything else. In addition, the tractors and other mechanical equipment currently used in the peat farm are Xu Qiang's own private property and not collective property. Xu Qiang just uses them at the peat farm.

Also at the banquet, Yang Dong proposed to arrange several villagers to work in the peat field, and Xu Qiang agreed to this.

In fact, Xu Qiang understood Yang Dong's thoughts. The other party must want to learn the technology, but as long as Xu Qiang firmly grasps the key technology, it will be very difficult for the other party to learn. Moreover, Xu Qiang also controls the sales channels, so as long as he does not deliberately teach it, it is impossible for the other party to learn it in a short period of time.

Moreover, after becoming a village-run enterprise, Xu Qiang's small workshop can break through the "five-person" limit, so that there will be more manpower to increase production, and Erhu can be transferred out to become Xu Qiang's first full-time salesperson...

……

Just when Xu Qiang and others returned to the village after eating and drinking, at the same time, more than 30 kilometers away in Henghu, more than a dozen factory leaders and technicians including the factory director Liu Biao and chief engineer Li Cunzhu all arrived to accompany the leaders of the Provincial Military Industry Office to test live-fire shooting.

Compared with ground shooting ranges, surface shooting ranges are a better choice when testing artillery shell fuses. On the one hand, it is easy to control and it is easy to see at a glance whether there are people and ships on the water. After the bomb explodes, it will not affect the local environment.

On the other hand, the water surface is relatively calm, and the reflectivity of any artillery shell is the same. At the same time, the measurement of the blast height of each product is relatively accurate, and the error is relatively small. Therefore, since the mid-1970s, a part of the Henghu Reservoir has become a dedicated shooting range for Shengli Machinery Factory. Many products have passed the test here and were finally delivered to the troops.

"boom!"

In the distance, with a loud bang, a powerful shock wave caused ripples on the calm water surface, so much so that even in the shelter several kilometers away, a slight tremor could still be felt.

"The explosion height was 25.4 meters."

As the observer detected through relevant optical instruments, an accurate number was reported.

"Very good! The error was within 0.5 meters for several times. It's not easy..."

At this time, a middle-aged man in military uniform who was observing with a telescope behind the bunker showed a satisfied smile, turned around and said to the people around him.

"Thank you Director Luo for your affirmation of our products. We will definitely continue to work hard." Factory Director Liu Biao said quickly.

The man called Director Luo is Luo Tao, the director of the Provincial Defense Industry Office. Gao Zhiguo, who had visited the factory before, is the deputy director. When Xu Qiang and Liu Biao went to the province some time ago, Luo Tao was in a meeting in BJ. After he came back, he immediately notified Liu Biao that he wanted to watch the test of their new product.

Like Gao Zhiguo, Luo Tao and Liu Biao are old friends. When Shengli Machinery Factory was first established, he was one of the first military representatives in the factory, specializing in product quality inspection. Later, after leaving the factory and returning to the Provincial Defense Industry Office, he has always paid close attention to Shengli Machinery Factory and visits the factory several times a year to provide guidance.

Luo Tao was very concerned about the country's large-scale reduction in military orders for third-tier enterprises. It was through him that Liu Biao learned about this policy of his superiors in advance.

In addition, unlike Gao Zhiguo, Luo Tao is not enthusiastic about the third-tier enterprises in the province converting military products to civilian products. Instead, he has been asking the subordinate enterprises in the province to continue to dig deep into the technology of military products, so that Jiangxi's military industry can be at the forefront of the country and then reproduce the glory of the past years. "I heard that your new product was developed by your daughter. Is she here today?" Luo Tao asked.

"Hello, Director Luo."

As soon as Luo Tao finished speaking, Liu Siying, who had been standing behind the crowd, immediately stepped forward and greeted him in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Haha, it's true that a good father will have a good daughter. Old Liu, you really gave birth to a good daughter." Luo Tao glanced at Liu Siying and said with some approval.

Although Liu Siying has only been in the factory for over a year, she is well-known in the Provincial Defense Industry Office and is already a favorite in the eyes of the leaders.

On the one hand, it was because she was the daughter of the factory director Liu Biao, and on the other hand, Liu Siying's technical ability was indeed outstanding. She successfully developed the transistor electronic fuse shortly after joining the factory. Before that, the Shengli Machinery Factory, and even the arsenals across the country, still followed the Soviet technology route and used electron tube fuses, and their technology was far behind that of developed Western countries.

Liu Siying's original technical patent not only received high praise from provincial leaders and experts, but also received commendation from the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building. In the eyes of provincial leaders such as Luo Tao, Liu Siying is an outstanding representative of the current young generation of technical personnel in Jiangxi's military industry.

"Director Luo, you are too kind. My daughter is just lucky. The technical work of our factory still mainly depends on Chief Engineer Li." Liu Biao said with a smile.

"Old Li has always been very capable, but nowadays young people are becoming more and more capable. As the saying goes, every generation has talented people, and each generation is stronger than the last." Luo Tao glanced at Li Cunzhu next to Liu Biao and said with a smile.

"The last time I went to the province, I wanted to report my work to you, but you were not there. Regarding the reduction of military orders next year..." Liu Biao said.

"The last time I went to BJ was actually for this matter. I will discuss the specific situation with you later." Luo Tao said after a moment of hesitation.

"Okay." Liu Biao nodded.

"By the way, when I came back from BJ this time, I heard Director Gao say that your factory has produced a chemical genius. It is said that all the experts in the province are convinced. Is this true?" Luo Tao asked.

"That's right, this guy is called Xu Qiang. He is a temporary worker in our chemical workshop. He lives in the production team next to the factory. He has just joined the factory for a month. I don't know where he learned the chemical technology. This time he actually helped the factory complete a technical transformation plan. It is really extraordinary..." said Liu Biao.

"Young people nowadays are really amazing. I won't talk about your daughter. She is a top student and her main job is a technician. But that temporary worker is quite interesting..." Luo Tao sighed, and then said, "Speaking of the old people in our province who are engaged in military technology, sometimes their ideas and knowledge have become outdated. For so many years, they have been living off their old capital. On the contrary, many young people can come up with something that will make people's eyes shine. In the future, the development of our province's military industry may be dominated by these young people... Next time you go to the provincial capital, bring that young man named Xu Qiang with you. I really want to test his ability."

"Okay, next time I go to your place, I will definitely bring that kid with me." Liu Biao said simply.

At this time, Li Cunzhu, who was standing nearby, heard the conversation between the two and frowned slightly...
