"Five years ago, the Ministry of Machinery, the Ministry of Combustion and the Ministry of metallurgy jointly carried out the development of 12 cubic meters of excavators, and last year produced the first prototype, and is currently undergoing industrial experiments.The 25-mometer excavator project proposed by the Ministry of Coal is the continuation of this project, right?”

Once Feng Xiaochen wanted to understand, he also closed the cautious appearance before and began to talk to the old man.

"That's all you can see in the data, and you're right."The old man said lightly.He took out the cigarette box from his pocket, pulled out a cigarette on his mouth, and signaled to Feng Xiaochen, which meant asking Feng Xiaochen to smoke.Feng Xiaochen waved his hand and at the same time pointed his finger at the "no smoking" notice written on the wall.The old man hesitated, tremblingly put away the cigarette box, took the cigarette off his mouth, and put it on his nose to satisfy his addiction.

Feng Xiaochen had some respect for the old man's move, and he clearly saw that when the old man came out with the cigarette box, the king's information officer stared at their side, but there was no meaning of stopping.It was evident that the old man in the Institute should be a powerful man, and that this restriction on the prohibition of smoking might not be effective for him.However, for Feng Xiaochen's reminder, he can actually be from the good as the flow, prefer to use the nose to smell the cigarette to solve, do not violate the regulations, which shows that the old man is still quite reasonable, which also makes Feng Zhichen a little bit in his heart.

"In the previous plans of the three ministries, there was no 25 rice excavator development arrangements.The consensus reached by the three ministries at that time is that the 12-liminary excavator has been able to meet the needs of large-scale open-pit mining, and after the successful trial production of the prototype, it is necessary to go through strict industrial experiments, fixed design, and then produce more than 100 units, and put it in mines around the world.Only then will the construction of the 25-metre excavator be considered.”

Feng Xiaochen continued that the planning arrangements of the three ministries were clearly written in the earlier documents, and the documents were not too high-level, which can also be viewed by the general staff in the industry.Feng Xiaochen read the document in the data room of the metallurgical bureau, and it is relatively clear about the process.

The old man nodded and said, "You are right, the original plan of the three ministries is indeed so."However, after the end of the movement, the central government put forward new construction requirements, and the original plan was no longer applicable.The Ministry of Coal organized the development of 25 rice excavators, also because of the urgent requirements of several large open-pit mines.If the domestic excavator of this specification cannot be provided, we have to spend a lot of foreign exchange to import from abroad.That's why we're so eager to get on this project."

Feng Xiaochen said: "There is nothing wrong with the reason, the question is, do we have such a ability to develop a 25-meter excavator?"If the plan is built on the sand, then no matter how beautiful it is, it is nothing but a mirage.”

“How do you know we don’t have that ability?”The old man retorted.

“How do you know we have that ability?”Feng Xiaochen is not weak.

The old man was choked by Feng Xiaochen at once, perhaps he was used to being a leader, and no one would ever bump into him so directly.Wang Yaru was ready to intervene, and the old man handed her a look, signaled her not to do much, and then spit two deep breaths, which said:

“My reasons are good.Before the development of the 12 rice excavator, some people have raised such questions as you are now, that with China's own strength, it is impossible to develop such a specification of excavator.Then, it took less than three years for our master worker to create a prototype, isn’t that one of the best blowbacks to this suspicion?”

At the last sentence, the old man's face regained some brilliance, as if he felt that his response was very powerful enough to hide Feng Xiaochen's face away.

Feng Xiaochen was not surprised by the old man's answer, he smiled faintly and said: "How was the 12-mile excavator prototype made, you should know better than me?"The quality of the rotary motor is not off, and the coil is broken in the experiment, and the original factory has to be replaced by a coil again.Ring rail, rotary roller casting process is not closed, casting time scrap rate of up to 80%.Hydraulic reducer can not find suppliers in the country, foreign countries refused to provide, and finally the use of imported 15 meters excavator spare parts . . .

“Enough is enough!”The old man was angry.Feng Xiaochen said these, he can not know, for the original reason for these defects, he also had been suffering together with technicians, workers, listen to Feng Zhichen with a number of tone said, he can not help but open the scolding up:

Isn’t that all difficult in the development process?Would you be born to talk like that, instead of your parents teaching you a shit?Western developed countries in the early stage of technological development, there is also such a stage, do not go through this stage, how can there be today's mature technology?

In the face of the old man's anger, Feng Xiaochen was not discouraged, and continued to choke with the evidence of the same air rush:

“The question is, have we solved these technical problems?”When the 12 rice excavator is on, we hold the concept that as long as the host is built, the supporting problems will be solved slowly.In fact, so far we have not solved the supporting problems, or even a feasible plan to solve the supporting problems.At this time, the rush to launch a 25-liminum excavator can only be repeated in the new model in this way that will be done.”

The old man said, "So according to your intention, we should stop here, wait for all the problems to be solved, and then go and catch up with the advanced trend of the world."At that time, no one else knows where to go, can we catch up?”

Feng Xiaochen asked: "Old comrade, I want to ask you, do you think the gap between our country's industrial level and the West is reflected in the gap between 12 and 25 rice excavators, or is it reflected in the gap between the qualification rate of the beam castings of 20% or 100%?"

"This..." The old man suddenly stopped, and he instinctively wanted to say something to refute Feng Xiaochen, but he clearly felt that Feng Xiaochen's words were so sharp that he suddenly pierced a layer of window paper, so that he could see a fresh light.He vaguely felt that this seemed to be an answer he had not found all along, and at that moment, by such a young and terrible child.

“But we don’t have time to wait.”The old man's tone became low and subdued, "The central government has given us a new task, and the output of several large open pit mines must be quadrupled in five years, otherwise it will not meet the requirements of national economic development, and it will drag the legs of national economic growth."If you say, practice your internal skills first and then move forward, we can’t wait.I personally went to the casting factory to do research, they told me that to improve the high-manganese steel casting process, the scrap rate from 80% to less than 30%, they need at least 3 years, which is still under the premise that the state can fully guarantee the technical transformation funds.

“This is basically an excuse, or an excuse to apply for funds for technological change from the State.”Feng Xiaochen said.

The old man's face was a board, and he said seriously: "I can accept your other words, but I can't accept this sentence at all."You have not seen how the workers and technicians work day and night, and in order to improve the casting process, they have no eyes for seven days and seven nights, and you have no right to criticize them in this way."

The old man's voice with majesty, which is based on justice, let Feng Xiaochen also have a sense of shame.He was silent for a moment and said, "Yes, I am abrupt, and I apologize to you and to them."

The old man waved his hand, meaning that the matter could be exposed, and he would not pursue it.Feng Xiaochen spoke too lightly, which made him feel unhappy, but Feng Xiaochen knew that mistakes could be changed, and it did not make sense of force, which made the old man feel that the snub could be taught.He said to Feng Xiaochen: "Or the topic just now, our country urgently needs 25 to 30 cubic meters of large excavators, if we can not build, we can only rely on imports, this problem, how do you plan to solve?" 」

Feng Xiaochen said: "It is very simple, walking on two legs, using the introduction of equipment as a condition, introducing technology from Western developed countries, and rapidly improving the level of equipment manufacturing in China."We can no longer be content to piece together a device and claim to be given a loud slap.There is no modern craft level, just by the strength of the group, the ant-biting elephant method to create one or two equipment, not our modernization, but just a performance project to meet the face of the leader.”

The old man's face was green again, and perhaps the sarcasm he had suffered in the past few years was not so short.Feng Zhichen's speech was indeed sharp, and the old man felt quite proud of the 25-rice excavator project, which in his mouth was purely to meet the needs of the leader's face.Who is the leader, not him?Feng Xiaochen said this, simply pointing to the monk scolding the bald ass, so that he could be embarrassed.

However, this can only blame the old man himself, who let him from the beginning did not explain his identity to Feng Xiaochen, came to the present, and then put out the identity to let Feng Xiaochen close his mouth, it is too embarrassing.Moreover, although Feng Xiaochen's words are difficult to hear, they belong to the well-known truth, as the child in the emperor's new clothes said.

"You just said that the introduction of equipment as a condition, the introduction of technology from Western developed countries, this reference as early as last year, there has been a central leadership put forward, the Commission, the import and export committee are studying the corresponding policies."Specific to the 25 rice excavator, do you have any specific ideas, can you say it?"

The old man decided not to ignore Feng Xiaochen's sarcasm, his interest in this young man is getting stronger and stronger, he intends to hear whether Feng Xiaochen has any insight.
