32: Comrade Peng Lin is a pillar of the country!

After confirming the research and development, Peng Lin created a research and development project for the Lynx All-Terrain Assault Vehicle in the system:

【Research Project Name: Lynx All-Terrain Assault Vehicle】

【Difficulty Assessment: D】

【Task Progress: 0%】

【Task Reward: 100 Research Points】

Compared to the "mengshi" High-Mobility Wheeled Tactical Vehicle Platform, the research for the Lynx was significantly simpler.

After all, the Lynx's requirements for the engine and body materials were lower than those of the "mengshi."

Its only difficulty in research and development was probably the all-wheel drive and part-time four-wheel drive system.

This was because the Lynx's all-terrain capability was required to be higher than that of the "mengshi."

It must adapt to complex terrains such as snow, swamps, and mountains, with a climbing ability of ≥ 60% and a wading depth of ≥ 1.2 meters, among other requirements.

With the two tasks confirmed, Peng Lin immediately began the research and development.

The first things he had to solve were the three major challenges in the "mengshi's" research and development: power system, suspension technology, and material processes.

To possess powerful mobility and performance, the engine of the "mengshi" High-Mobility Wheeled Tactical Vehicle Platform must be above 200 horsepower.

However, the gasoline engine of the Longguo Yanjing brand off-road vehicle currently only had 66 horsepower.

For example, the diesel engine of the Dongfeng military truck only had 135 horsepower.

Therefore, Peng Lin needed to develop a reliable and powerful turbocharged intercooled diesel engine for the "mengshi" High-Mobility Wheeled Tactical Vehicle Platform!

In addition, military vehicles at this time all used leaf spring non-independent suspension.

This type of suspension directly led to weak off-road performance, short wheel travel, and susceptibility to skidding or being suspended in the air.

Furthermore, it could not cope with complex terrains such as deep ditches and rocks.

Peng Lin also needed to develop double-wishbone coil spring independent suspension, and so on.

Peng Lin needed to overcome this series of technical problems one by one.

In the following time, Peng Lin began a two-point-one-line life between his dormitory and office.

He dedicated all his energy to finding solutions for the "mengshi" and the "Lynx."

For Peng Lin, engineering design problems like engines and independent suspension were actually relatively easy to solve.

After all, the difficulty of developing a turbocharged diesel engine was far simpler than that of the turbofan-15 aero-engine.

In Peng Lin's eyes, it was even child's play.

What truly gave him a headache was the research and development of "materials."

The industrial accumulation required for materials was not a problem that could be solved overnight.

Therefore, whenever he encountered a material problem, Peng Lin directly used research points to purchase "R&D progress."

Directly acquiring "technological achievements."

In addition, during his research and development, Peng Lin also paid special attention to the training of technical backbones at Changhe Automobile Factory.

After all, once Peng Lin had settled the technical drawings and R&D issues, the actual production processes and other problems would still need to be solved by them.

Since being acquired by the newly renamed Changhe Weapon Industry Group, the technical backbones and workers of Changhe Automobile Factory were all holding back a surge of energy.

They also wanted to prove themselves and achieve something significant.

Although all were under the leadership of Changhe Weapon Industry Group, Changhe Helicopter Manufacturing Factory and Changhe Weapon Manufacturing Factory had continuous orders.

Therefore, the salaries of both the technical backbones and ordinary workers were three times that of Changhe Automobile Factory.

At this time, whenever Peng Lin taught or trained them in new technologies, the technical backbones of Changhe Automobile Factory all learned as if their lives depended on it.

They also hoped that their salaries and benefits could catch up with the other two sub-factories.

Moreover, the technical backbones of Changhe Automobile Factory not only learned from Peng Lin.

Even if Peng Lin was busy with research and development and had no time to train them,

the technical backbones of the Automobile Factory often gathered together to help each other, collectively digesting and absorbing Peng Lin's course content.

In the evening, the technical backbones would also give lessons to the workers.

They aimed to help the workers understand more advanced automotive engineering production and manufacturing processes.

It is no exaggeration to say that since Changhe Automobile Factory was merged, everyone has entered a state of desperate learning and progress.

Even Factory Director Liu Liang was pondering and learning about the management system of Changhe Automobile Factory.

For example, how can management cadres within the factory better serve the workers and technical backbones?

How can the production efficiency of the Automobile Factory be better improved?

Currently, Changhe Automobile Factory is full of vibrant energy.

The previous scene of being on the verge of bankruptcy has disappeared.

They have been fundamentally renewed in thought and essence.

Now, they are just waiting for Peng Lin to overcome the key technologies of the two vehicle models, and they can immediately and rapidly enter production status.

At the same time, the changes at Changhe Automobile Factory also reached the newly separated Changhe Helicopter Manufacturing Factory and Changhe Weapon Manufacturing Factory.

The new factory directors and Chief Engineers of these two sub-factories, upon hearing about the changes at Changhe Automobile Factory, all felt immense pressure.

Although they currently had an overwhelming number of orders, and the salaries and benefits of their technical backbones and workers were three times that of the Automobile Factory,

what about the future?

After all, their current orders were all obtained through Peng Lin.

And now, Peng Lin was already the Deputy Factory Director of the General Factory and the President and Chief Engineer of the Weapon Science Research Institute.

He no longer belonged to any of their sub-factories.

If they didn't have the help of Chief Designer Peng in the future, would they still be able to have a continuous stream of orders?

At that time, would their salaries and benefits be surpassed by Changhe Automobile Factory?

It wasn't just the factory directors and Chief Engineers of the Helicopter Manufacturing Factory and the Weapon Manufacturing Factory; even the technical backbones and workers also felt the pressure of competition and comparison.

Even with continuous orders, the technical backbones all began to gather together to delve into new technologies and production processes.

As for the workers, while receiving high salaries, they also strictly focused on quality.

They strived to improve the yield rate of their products... When Factory Director Gu learned about the changes in the three sub-factories below him, he was completely stunned.

When Peng Lin suggested that Changhe Factory be restructured into Changhe Weapon Industry Group and its operations be split into three sub-factories: Helicopter Manufacturing Factory, Automobile Manufacturing Factory, and Weapon Manufacturing Factory,

he had not fully understood Peng Lin's intentions.

But now, it seemed he had no choice but to admire Peng Lin wholeheartedly.

He hadn't expected Peng Lin to be not only a genius in military industrial research and development but also a first-rate manager.

The research and development and production capabilities displayed by the three sub-factories were truly too powerful.

For example, without Peng Lin's involvement, the Weapon Manufacturing Factory had developed a series of equipment, including new squad machine guns, automatic rifles, and new mortars.

Their performance and parameters far exceeded old equipment like the Type 67 general-purpose machine gun.

Currently, these new types of equipment were all awaiting verification by the Jiangxi Provincial National Defense Production Office.

As long as the verification passed and the army purchased them, they could immediately begin production.

Another example is Feng Zhenhua, the former director of the Military Industrial Design Institute at Changhe Factory, who was promoted to Chief Engineer of the sub-factory after the Helicopter Manufacturing Factory was spun off.

Under his leadership, the Helicopter Manufacturing Factory also achieved numerous successes.

They used the engine and main rotor technology of the Zhi-8 as a foundation.

To design and develop a new generation of armed helicopters for Longguo!

This management and production model of Changhe Weapon Industry Group even became famous nationwide.

Even Zheng Gong knew the names of Changhe Weapon Industry Group and Peng Lin.

After carefully inquiring about this management system and model,

he unreservedly gave his evaluation: "Comrade Peng Lin is a pillar of the nation!"
