Chapter 496: Thank you, Minister Speer

First, in later generations, many network reports have said that bearings have a high technical content, which can be used as an important criterion to measure a country's scientific and technological technology and industrial strength.

Moreover, the world's science and technology in later generations, and industrial powers, without exception, have advanced bearing research and development, so as to become a manufacturing power.

The high-reliability and high-precision top-level bearings that can be used for aero engines have become the number one problem in the research and development of aero engines in various countries regardless of the changes of the times, and they are the most scrambling to carry out a large number of research and development.

Because the main bearing of the aero engine is one of the key components of the aero engine, the quality and performance of the main bearing directly affect the performance, life and reliability of the engine when it operates under the conditions of high speed, high temperature and complex force.

Therefore, one of the key indicators of aero engines is high reliability. One of the prerequisites for reliability is to ensure that the bearings in the engine have a long life – the life of the main bearing.

In the 21st century, the requirements for military aircraft aero engines are more than 3,000 hours, and the requirements for civil aircraft aero engines are even higher, reaching tens of thousands of hours.

However, in the era of World War II, whether it is Germany, or the United Kingdom, the United States, the Soviet Union and other industrial powers, the life of the main bearing of the aero engine used is a limited product, and the bearing has become the most headache for the development of various countries.

Due to the backwardness of science and technology, and the fact that the aircraft has only just been developed, many aerospace R&D companies are trying to develop better aero engine main bearings; Let their products be ahead of their peers, obtain more advantageous air supremacy, and aircraft orders.

In the 21st century, the R&D, manufacturing and sales of high-end bearings are basically monopolized by the world's four major bearing giants, namely Timken of the United States, NSK of Japan, SKF of Sweden and Schaeffler (FAG) of Germany.

For this reason, when Chen Yanlong went to meet Speer, he also made up his mind to call all the high-level members of Schaeffler (FAG) in Germany to discuss how to make more advanced aero engine main bearings.

Moreover, Chen Yanlong also plans to let Speer and Schaeffler (FAG) and others in Germany release a detailed R&D report on the "Latest Development Plan for Mechanical Basic Parts, Basic Manufacturing Processes and Basic Materials Industry" through the German Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, so that he can know what the R&D and manufacturing of high-end bearings in Germany are.

However, the backward technology of the bearing industry is closely related to the serious shortage of technical personnel, and the training of technical personnel in the bearing industry has become one of the most concerned issues of Chen Yanlong, because in order to develop the aviation industry in Germany more developed, then it is necessary to have the world's most advanced aero engine main bearing, especially the research and development and manufacturing technology of high-end bearings.

Because this is one of the key technologies for the development and production of more advanced and long-range aircraft, it must not be ignored.

Of course, in the eyes of many laymen in later generations, bearings are a kind of simple structural components, it is necessary to equip such attention, and train those bearing R & D personnel?

In fact, the bearings we see in daily life are low-end bearings with low technical content, and the technical complexity of high-end bearings is not those low-end bearings, which can be compared; In particular, the development and production of high-end bearing technology for more advanced fighter planes, bombers, and other aerospace equipment is even more complicated.

Moreover, the application of high-end bearings not only exists in the field of aero engines, but also can be used in high-precision machine tool equipment, high-speed railways, instrumentation and other fields.

Therefore, Chen Yanlong attaches so much importance and is determined to set up a high-end bearing technology college to cultivate talents and technologies in this area.

Moreover, for the current development of Germany's aerospace industry, it is also imminent, because Chen Yanlong does not plan to rely only on the mobile phone exchange system to get more advanced aircraft, he also wants to speed up the improvement of Germany's aerospace manufacturing industry and R&D and production technology, so as to produce more advanced aircraft to counter the aviation forces of Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other industrial powers.

"How about the recent production volumes of our weapons and equipment?"

When Chen Yanlong, escorted by a large number of guards, arrived at Speer's underground aircraft factory in Hamburg; The first thing he said to Speer, who had come out to greet him, was to ask so eagerly.

"We now have 1,500 Leopards and 2,000 T-54s; As for other types of tanks, including the Tiger tank, they are also gradually discontinued, and now there are only 30 Tiger tanks in stock! ”

Speer replied immediately and truthfully without the slightest disgust.

"The number of our tanks is so small that there is simply no way to compare with the US army! And what about the number of planes we have? ”

Hearing this, Chen Yanlong shook his head and said dissatisfiedly.

"We can now produce a maximum of about 300 jets per month, whether it's the German Ar234 Lightning jet bomber or the Messerschmitt Me-263 jet fighter."

"And the Ta-152 fighter is a little better, it can produce 500 units a month!"

Seeing Chen Yanlong, who looked displeased, Speer immediately said that the aircraft with better production conditions was available.

"Too little, still too little! We must find a way to develop and produce more jet aircraft, and Ta-152 fighters come out, but also our Leopard tanks, and T-54 tanks! Otherwise, we will not be able to engage in a war of attrition with Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries in terms of numbers! ”

After hearing this, Chen Yanlong was still very dissatisfied and said.

"I also want to mass-produce enough advanced tanks and airplanes more quickly! But in addition to producing these advanced aircraft and tanks, we also have to produce many types of weapons and equipment, so the natural resources we can use now are very scarce! Monarch! ”

"And it's also limited to our scientific and technical talents, and people with production experience, so it's a great miracle that we can now produce so many advanced tanks and aircraft! Monarch! ”

Regarding Chen Yanlong's dissatisfaction and shouting, Speer was not much afraid, but explained truthfully.

"Whew! I know your difficulties, but now our battle with those enemy forces is getting more and more intense! If we can't have more advanced weapons and equipment, especially tanks and airplanes, to maintain air supremacy and national territory, then we will be used by them to consume our vital forces and weapons and equipment with numerical superiority! ”

Chen Yanlong glared at Speer and sighed.

Because he knew very well that in 1943 the number of tanks produced by the US military exceeded 50,000, and the total production of aircraft reached almost 90,000, and the number of rifles exceeded 6 million, the number of trucks was million, and the number of new ships was almost 20,000......

In short, the number of weapons and equipment was more than four times that of the German army, which was very unfavorable to the German army's battle on the battlefield.

"I see! I'll try to find a way to speed up the production of our military system! Monarch! ”

"However, because we are now taking the high-quality route, our weapons and equipment still have to be of good quality, and we can't reduce the quality control for the sake of mass production tasks!"

"Otherwise, if the weapons and equipment we produce are of similar quality to those of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, we will have no advantage on the battlefield!"

Regarding Chen Yanlong's repeated nervousness, Speer was silent for a while before responding cautiously.

"Hmmm! I see, thank you! Minister Speer! ”

"Let's go and inspect the factory now! Let's have lunch together! I have some reward to give you as a thank you for your hard work! ”

Seeing that Speer also felt a little aggrieved, Chen Yanlong also said softly.

As the so-called hard and soft is one of the ways to control slave talents, Chen Yanlong is also learning how to combine grace and power, accept people, and collect hearts. [.]
