"Principal Su, since you've put it that way and you've seen our credentials, my rank is slightly higher than Major General He's."
Lieutenant General!
"Come on, your research institute only has a handful of people. I'd be a vice president there, you know."
Major General He Yunfeng looked disdainful.
Military research cannot be judged solely by job title; after all, China Tobacco is still a small and micro-sized enterprise.
The key is to look at the scientific research capabilities and the funding that China invests in the projects.
"We may be small in number, but we are highly skilled, Principal Su. Our 0128 Research Institute is at the forefront of technological research."
I see that your "Red Wing Vanguard" uses a lot of advanced technology.
If you are willing to cooperate, we can help you expand beyond the private sector into the military industry.
"It's just a military technology research qualification, right? Principal Su, just say the word and I'll get the approval for you this afternoon!"
Although the 0128 Research Institute has a high-ranking position, it doesn't have as many top-level personnel as the Fifth Research Institute of the Army.
It has dozens of laboratories, and each project focuses on the research direction of China's heavy weaponry.
Including the latest main battle tanks, long-range strategic missiles, air defense systems, etc.
The reason it is still called the research institute is because of its long history, and in order to preserve this honor, it has never changed its name.
Lieutenant General Tan Lin was also aware of this; when it came to actually getting things done...
The Fifth Research Institute of the Army carries far more weight than the 0128 Research Institute itself.
"He Yunfeng, Major General He, I made an appointment yesterday. You're just planning to ambush me on the way, aren't you?"
Lieutenant General Tan Lin was also helpless against He Shaofeng ever since they met.
Relying on the Fifth Research Institute behind them
He Shaofeng never took me seriously.
"Alright, alright! I won't monopolize Lanxiang, but Lanxiang Technical School's first project must be in cooperation with our Fifth Research Institute of the Army."
After speaking, He Shaofeng took out a stack of documents and handed them to Su Lin.
Su Lin opened it and took a look.
[Upgrade Project of the Power System of the Domestically Produced Type 99 Main Battle Tank]
"Type 99 main battle tank?"
Before his transmigration, Su Lin was a military enthusiast, and this was the latest main battle tank developed by China in the 1990s.
The successful development of this tank signifies that China's army has reached world-class standards.
"Major General He, researching the power system of a main battle tank is not something that can be done overnight!"
"Of course I'm not asking you to figure it out in one night. Three months should be enough, right?"
Su Lin frowned. Was this Major General He truly uncultured, or was he feigning it?
Does "一朝一夕" mean just one night?
"Three months?"
"This is something we'll have to ask Principal Su to figure out."
I have great faith in the research capabilities of Lanxiang Vocational School.
Three months later, the 1990 World Tank Championship will be held in St. Petersburg.
Principal Su, you don't want to see our Chinese tanks ending up at the back of the pack, do you?
To be honest, the weapon systems and armor systems have already been developed.
All that's missing is the power system; now we can finally hold our heads high!
Upon hearing that it was for the 1990 World Tank Championship three months later, Lieutenant General Tan Lin refrained from interrupting.
As long as there's an opportunity for cooperation, that's enough. This is the first time China has participated in this competition.
This is of great significance; whether it can enhance my country's national prestige depends on the performance of the Type 99 tank.
"Since this is the World Tank Competition, Major General He, how about your Fifth Research Institute cooperates first?"
Isn't that enough?
"I knew Lieutenant General Tan was sensible. Today I'm the host, let's go out for a meal!"
"Since you're here, you're all guests. If the two officers don't mind, would you please have a meal at the Lanxiang Technical School's cafeteria?"
"No problem, I'll report it immediately and get the military technology research and development qualification approved."
"Principal Su, I'd also like to trouble you to provide the business license and the official seal of the legal representative."
"Just have them contact me!"
Uncle Liu was in charge of these specific matters, while Su Lin was only responsible for the strategic direction.
"By the way, Major General He, developing this power system requires both technology and funding; you can't do without either!"
Upon hearing this, Major General He immediately understood Su Lin's meaning: in this collaborative project, Lanxiang Vocational School would remain the technology provider.
Funding was naturally handled by the Fifth Research Institute.
The manufacturing cost of a single Type 90 main battle tank is as high as $8 million.
Half a billion RMB
The upgrade project for the Type 90 main battle tank received a total allocation of 1.5 billion RMB.
Major General He held up the number 5 to Su Lin.
50 million?
That was a huge sum of money for Su Lin.
Moreover, Su Lin already had a plan in mind.
Directly using a gas turbine system is definitely not feasible.
Even if the system has design drawings, schematics, and manufacturing methods for metal materials,
It involves various disciplines such as mechanical design, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, materials science, solid mechanics, and vibration.
Given Lanxiang Vocational School's current manufacturing capabilities, let alone three months,
One year is not enough.
This is hailed as the "crown jewel" of industrial manufacturing.
Why not just use a hybrid electric vehicle? With the support of BYD's blade battery technology, it's a better option.
The problem of electricity storage has been solved.
As long as a sufficiently powerful electric motor is developed, the power system upgrade needs of the Type 90 main battle tank can be met.
To get something for nothing, isn't that wonderful?
50 million???
Uncle Liu, as the finance director of Lanxiang Vocational School, was a man of considerable experience.
Millions are processed every day.
Seeing five fingers startled me.
"Five hundred million!!!"
Major General He blurted out,
"However, the design proposal submitted by your school must meet our design requirements."
With this 500 million yuan in start-up capital,
That's enough to buy all sorts of military technologies from the system's store.
"Major General He, rest assured, as long as the money is in place, there is no technology that our Lanxiang Technical School cannot develop!"
"Principal Su, what we need is an ambitious principal like you. I still have a few bottles of good wine in my trunk."
Tonight, we're going to drink until we drop!
At noon, Su Lin, Major General He, and Lieutenant General Tan Lin...
After a satisfying meal in the VIP room of the cafeteria at Lanxiang Vocational School...
Major General He also greatly admired Su Lin.
When he entered, it was still Major General He.
When I went out, it was already Xiao He.
"Hey Xiao He, this afternoon you have the staff handling the paperwork coordinate with Uncle Liu. I can't hold my liquor!"
"Brother Su, what you're saying... when I downed it in one gulp just now, I was ashamed of myself."
"Then I'll have a military vehicle pick you up tomorrow, and we can discuss it in detail at the office!"
