Chapter 466 Assembling Military Watches



After parking the car at the foot of the new 523 base, Xu Jianguo walked towards the base entrance halfway up the mountain. After greeting the guard on duty at the gate, he walked into the base.

Thanks to the efforts of everyone, the 523rd Base has now fully resumed production. All the production and manufacturing equipment and office tools of scientific researchers in the six workshops of the Binhai Base have been transported here. In addition, with the help of Mr. Su, Xu Jianguo's own independent studio has also used new manufacturing equipment.

After the troop rotation, Li Delong and Liu Yong were not called back by Xu Jianguo, but were kept in the workshop to supervise and guide daily production work.

The original workshop team leaders of the 523 Institute remained in their positions, but they became subordinates of a few people.

At that time, when the war in the west was tense, due to confidentiality agreements, more than one hundred workers of the original 523 Institute were notified to take leave and did not participate in the manufacturing of new equipment. Therefore, they did not know that Li Delong and others had already become independent.

When they arrived at the Wari base after the rotation, these people were very dissatisfied when they learned that they would be working under Li Delong and others. They thought that they were just apprentices in the workshop before, and even if they studied with Xu Jianguo for a period of time, their skills would not improve much. So some workers found Pei Zhiwei, the director of the institute, to protest. In the end, Pei Zhiwei had no choice but to find Xu Jianguo again.

As a result, Xu Jianguo was not vague and directly called all the workers to hold a general meeting. During the meeting, he asked Li Delong and six others to stand on the stage and told the more than 600 workers below that everyone could challenge them. No matter whether it was processing accuracy or speed, as long as they could beat them, they could become the person in charge of the workshop.

As a result, the six people's former master in the workshop was the first to refuse to accept the challenge and challenged them, but was ultimately defeated.

Then the team leaders of the six workshops continued to challenge, but were still defeated. As the saying goes, money can make a slave out of his hands, and skill can make a commoner out of his work. From then on, everyone looked at Li Delong and his companions with admiration, and there was no more voice of dissatisfaction in the workshop.

Originally, workshops one to six were divided by the barracks department. This base left by the Japanese devils is divided into two floors. The first floor is after entering the cave halfway up the mountain, and there is another floor underground.

Each floor is allocated four warehouses of over a thousand square meters. After a meeting, it was decided to convert three warehouses on each floor into workshops, while the purpose of the other warehouse remained unchanged and was used to store manufactured equipment.

In addition to the workshop allocation, this Japanese base is also equipped with two elevators. Xu Jianguo went to take a look at it at that time. It was a very simple lifting device, similar to the ones used on construction sites in later generations, except that the space in the elevator was much larger, about 20 square meters. I think the Japanese also wanted to make it more convenient to transport supplies in the future.

Xu Jianguo's own studio was later built independently by the soldiers of the barracks unit. The building materials were specially approved by the superiors and transported from surrounding cities by train.

The studio is much larger than the previous small workshop, with almost two more rooms.

After inspecting the workshop, Xu Jianguo came to the studio. This new equipment research and development project is now nearing completion.

His new submachine gun, which was designed based on the MP5's appearance, has completed testing and received unanimous praise. The radio instant communication intercom equipment, as well as flash grenades, tear gas grenades and stun grenades were also taken away by the General Staff for testing not long ago, and there are no results yet.

So now Xu Jianguo only has one product left to manufacture, the military watch, and he plans to manufacture it today.

Since the watch parts require precision processing, they are definitely not possible to manufacture with the current equipment of 523, so he reported to Ma Guoliang and customized the parts through several well-known watch manufacturers in Longxia.

Each manufacturer only produces one or two types of parts. Watchmaking companies in places like Huzhou, Jingzhou, Jinling, Jizhou and Jinzhou have all received orders for parts from the military, and these orders have been delivered to the Dawali base one after another.

What Xu Jianguo has to do is to assemble and debug these parts, and then test the reliability of the watch, such as anti-magnetic, waterproof, and shockproof.

Affected by many factors such as circuit boards, batteries and the subsequent inability to mass produce, Xu Jianguo did not choose a more durable quartz watch this time, but chose to manufacture a mechanical military watch with automatic winding function.

In order to make this military watch more durable, he also borrowed the design ideas of the later Casio G-SHOCK and designed a detachable metal protective bar on the outside of the watch glass. It is used to protect the watch glass while making the entire watch look tougher.

The original diving chronograph outer ring was placed inside the watch mirror by Xu Jianguo. The wearer only needs to adjust it through the independent knob at the two o'clock position, and the knob for adjusting the time is still at the conventional three o'clock position.

In order to make the military watch more readable at night, Xu Jianguo also purchased relevant knowledge about luminous paint and watchmaking technology through the system mall and studied it. He also specially mixed two colors of luminous paint, bright red and ice blue, for this military watch.

At this time, Xu Jianguo has applied the paint on the pointer and scale. After drying, it is now ready for use.

In addition to the traditional time, timing and calendar functions, Xu Jianguo also designed the watch into a double-layer structure. The upper layer is the main body of the military watch, and the lower layer is a compass. The user only needs to press the buckle button at the four o'clock position to pop open the upper layer to check the direction.
