Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 292 New materials are out

First came the gasoline engine. After the new production line was completed in the industrial zone, the gasoline engine production line of the automobile factory was also moved out. During the process, production never stopped.

Then there is the production line of diesel engines, and the third is compressors, which are required for air conditioners and refrigerators. There is also a market for compressors themselves, especially pneumatic stamping machines, which are much easier to use than traditional stamping machines and can be easily modified.

Fortunately, Teacher Hu Ping brought the students here, otherwise he would often have to explain to people sent by some machinery factories how to convert ordinary stamping machines into pneumatic stamping machines. Those who come to study will basically buy some compressors.

In addition, compressors are actually more difficult to produce than refrigerators. After all, the main part of a refrigerator is the compressor. If there is a compressor, organizing a refrigerator is actually faster than producing a compressor, and air conditioners also need compressors. Therefore, the compressor factory is ranked after the engine.

Then there is the cube car at 1.35. Considering that we have to go out of the exit, it would be too simple to just call the cube car. He also gave him a name. In later generations, BMW was called BMW, Don’t Touch Me. This cube car costs 1.35, which is considered a mini car. It’s called MNL. I’ll touch you. The foreign brand Monero is a female name, and this car is indeed small and compact. In those days, housewives drove it to buy groceries and go to work.

Mini cars were ranked second because it was necessary to increase production lines, so the production lines were directly installed in the industrial area. When the installation was almost complete, they were moved here.

Then, there are three-wheeled trucks. Hongcheng provides transmissions for three-wheeled trucks, and their output has been increasing. But before, I asked Hongcheng Motorcycle Factory to provide a single-gear variable speed converter. That was because the multi-gear combination variable speed controller required imported equipment. The several imported transmission production lines in the factory are only enough for the production of six-speed transmissions.

But it’s different now, because by cooperating with Japan, you can directly use the payment to purchase Japanese equipment. So Luo Cheng plans to turn the tricycle back into regular English.

The first transmissions used in tricycle trucks were three-speed, and just operated a gear lever. But then a single-speed transmission was used. When operating, there were three levers, one for low speed, one for high speed, and one for reverse gear.

In fact, the three-speed transmission is not very easy to use for three-wheeled trucks. Four gears should be used, with the third gear used for speed adjustment and the fourth gear used for reverse, all controlled by a pole.

Anyway, the car factory currently has many engineers and can produce six-speed transmissions. The fourth-speed transmission is simpler, just set reasonable modification data. Once this Japanese machine arrives and there are enough production lines, the transmission will no longer be purchased.

Then there are shock absorbers and power steering pumps. As more vehicles are produced, the demand for these things is also increasing. Anyway, if you move a project there, there will be one more factory director in the industrial zone there. As a result, Luo Cheng now has two titles. Over there in the industrial zone, most people who see Luo Cheng call him district director, which can be used to distinguish him from other factory directors. When we were at the automobile factory, people who had not gone to the industrial zone still liked to call Luo Cheng Director Luo when they saw him.

In the end, the automobile factory will only be left with some slow-production projects. Forklifts, Demasi vans, buses, trucks and a repair shop.

Because more and more people are going to work in the industrial park, the shuttle bus stops to the industrial park no longer only start from the automobile factory, but have added several routes, which are the employee buildings later built by the automobile factory, and the stops are located at Went to the entrance of the staff building. If you don’t live in the staff building, if you want to go to the industrial area, just go to the stop of the nearby staff building in advance and wait for the bus.

Even so, there is still a problem. The employee buildings of the automobile factory are all built in the XC area. But the current recruitment volume has already reached the entire city, and even the entire province. Now that the Human Resources Department has discovered that there is not enough manpower, it has directly contacted the provincial and district human resources departments. The Personnel Department then distributes it to the Personnel Bureaus of other cities.

There are so many unemployed people in other cities that it is not a problem to mobilize thousands of people at once. Anyway, I haven’t left the province, so it’s easy to go home for the Chinese New Year and holidays.

Near the industrial zone, Luo Cheng arranged for Director Zhang to build a large number of staff buildings there, with small apartments, to accommodate employees who came to work from the surrounding area. Recently, Director Zhang is willing to run there because there is also a river there. It is not as big as the river at the poultry factory, but it is not much smaller.

What makes him happy is that this river is also within the industrial zone land, at least it occupies a long river channel. When he went to the industrial area, there was nothing much to do except check the electrical circuits and water supply, and some construction progress. And he is currently accompanied by two college students assisting in the work. So he easily took a break from his busy schedule and often fished by a river there.

Luo Cheng has been taking advantage of Director Zhang recently, sharing a lot of fish with him. And a lot of the fish that were divided went into the belly of the big-bellied woman Qin Ru. Now Qin Ru has a big appetite and gets hungry easily. When she goes to the skating rink to sell tickets, she has to prepare a few rice balls with her.

Luo Bing wanted to pay Luo Cheng more money, but he also knew that five yuan would not be enough to buy a meal like this. In rural areas, if you say five yuan is enough, that’s because the people in rural areas eat coarse grains, and they basically work hungry every day. So when my cousin Wang Yue first came here, she thought a lot when she heard that she had to pay five yuan a month. But now, she knows what life is. She goes to work seriously, and the food in the canteen is full of oil and water. When she comes home, she can eat rice and often some meat.

Even following Xiaoyu Shishi and the others, Wang Yue also got some snacks. I keep them all secretly, and when I want to rest, I go home and bring them to my brother to eat.

Luo Bing was still assigned to the car factory for everyone’s convenience. Cousin Wang Yue originally worked in the spare parts organization workshop. Because the workshop was also transferred to the industrial area following the overall project, Luo Cheng arranged for her to be assigned to the vehicle installation team here. Instead of asking her to install the vehicle, she was asked to install screws on the vehicle seats in the finished vehicle. It’s not tired, but it’s not easy either, at least for Luo Cheng. But for a sixteen-year-old girl, well, Wang Yue said she was not tired and it was much easier than doing farm work.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but for Luo Cheng, it is not too hot for him. When he drives to and from get off work, he drives “just touch”. There is no air conditioning in the car, but usually the car is parked under the carport, so it is not hot after get off work. of. At home, he has naturally become a trial user of the air conditioner, but he doesn’t need to turn it on yet. It’s a bit hot at noon, but it’s fine in the morning and evening. After a while, summer will really come and it will be hot at night.

May 25th is the beginning of summer. The beginning of summer will not be too hot, but it refers to Ngee An and the cities in the north. Cities in coastal hot zones are actually starting to get hot at this time.

It’s salary day again. As long as you work in a car factory, it has become a routine to bring a bag to work on this day. It’s time to pack things. It’s this time of the month at the car factory. If you don’t bring a bag, it’s hard to get the benefits back. At least the food quota that can be purchased internally needs to be brought in bags.

Today, Luo Cheng has to go to two places, one is a car factory and the other is an industrial zone. Two things to announce, one good and one bad.

The bad thing is that the distribution of rice bran and soybean meal will stop in the future. There are too many employees, and the rice bran and soybean meal owed by the grain station are simply not enough to support the current automobile factory. There are already tens of thousands of employees, and if you throw in anything, it will cost hundreds of thousands of kilograms. In addition, opposite the industrial zone, there is still a planting and breeding base for automobile factories. The rice bran and soybean meal were used by Luo Cheng to raise chickens, ducks and pigs.

Just relying on the things currently raised in Longjin Town to support it, it would be difficult to eat meat once every half a month on average. If one person eats a few taels of meat, dozens of pigs will be lost. Moreover, automobile factories are still recruiting people, and the gap between supply and demand will only widen. The employees recruited are now from all over the province, and it cannot be sustained by relying on the support of local meat factories.

Unless you seek help from the province, if you want to eat meat, you can only raise it yourself.

So the first thing to announce is that starting from this month, rice bran and soybean meal will no longer be available. But the good thing is that starting from today, meal tickets will no longer be charged for meals in the canteen, as long as you pay. However, there is a rule: you can only beat one pound at most at a time. If you have beaten rice, you will not be charged any more. If you really have money, even a pound of rice won’t be enough to eat. The automobile factory also issues food vouchers. Currently, you can only go to the bus stop outside the factory and a row of restaurants. You can also buy food vouchers and use them as food stamps. use.

When the food court in the industrial area is completed in the future, this food roll can still be used there.

Why do we cancel the use of food stamps to buy meals? This is really not just for employee benefits. But the local grain station could no longer support it, and the industrial zone recruited thousands of people from other cities. Still recruiting. Food is a big problem. Although it has been reported to the province, the superiors are jealous that the automobile factory has so much food every month. There is enough food to lend to Secretary Jiang to support the local area. Especially after the automobile factory independently cooperated with a Japanese group, the export department was forced to compromise.

After all, Luo Cheng’s cooperation with Japan still only used part of the funds to purchase things, and the remaining foreign exchange was still withheld. Moreover, some of the things Luo Cheng wants will be withheld. Luo Cheng couldn’t agree even if he didn’t agree. If he didn’t agree, the goods wouldn’t be able to enter the port at all.

Now that the automobile factory has food, workers from other places cannot use the food stamps from other places, and Ngee Ann cannot dispatch them. Obviously the automobile factory has food, so how can we still be troubled by the problem of food? So we simply don’t need food stamps to eat in the internal canteen. Just like the army, we are considered to be agents. You don’t need a ticket to buy alcohol and cigarettes in the army, but you must have channels.

Those who have received rice bran and soybean meal, especially those with a family working in a car factory, will no longer have soybean meal and rice bran after hearing about it. If a family has several people working in the factory, it means they are short of hundreds of kilograms of grains. If you give them to others, you can exchange them for a lot of grains. So when it stopped at this point in the beginning, many people felt a little depressed.

But these days, workers really regard the factory as their second home. Some people who first worked in the factory also know where the rice bran and soybean meal come from. The purpose of doing this was to raise chickens, ducks and pigs. And because there were only a few hundred people in the factory at that time, this thing was also distributed to everyone as a welfare. Everyone can see the current situation. In less than a year, it has become a large factory with 10,000 people. Welfare is considered the best factory in Ngee Ann.

So I am frustrated, but I understand what the car factory is doing. Basically, I quickly accepted this matter. If I didn’t accept it, if anyone complained at the factory, I would be sure that someone would educate him immediately. This matter was decided by Factory Director Luo. If I dare to say that Director Luo is not good, I guarantee that he will not stay in a sack that night.

And when Luo Cheng announced that from now on, meal tickets would no longer be used for meals at the automobile factory, the employees who heard this were excited and cheered. This means that you can save your own ration, and it is stipulated that one person can only eat one kilogram of staple food at a time, no more, so you can eat less for yourself and save some for your family.

Over time, although the soybean meal and rice bran are gone, the benefits are actually greater.

In addition, Luo Cheng announced that there will be marine fish and kelp as a bonus this month, which were transported back by the transportation team overnight the day before. Although all the fish in the sea are dead, they are still very fresh. Let everyone work actively today, finish their work as soon as possible, and go to collect wages, welfare, receipts, and buy rice.

Banners were even hung on both sides of the automobile factory and the industrial zone. If one person enters the automobile factory (industrial zone), the whole family will have food to eat. Work actively and produce safely.

The banner was very big and was done by the Propaganda Department. The workers were indeed very proud and happy when they saw the banner. Because what is said above is true, one person has one meal and one pound of staple food. If you don’t need a ticket, you’ll basically ‘eat’ your meal at the factory in the evening. That’s two pounds a day. In the morning, it depends on the situation. The factory has breakfast, which is free of charge, but the price is more expensive than just eating staple food at noon and evening. Ordinary workers cannot afford that salary for a long time.

Anyway, if you calculate this way, you can save twice the ration by eating in the factory. There is also internal grain purchasing, plus own rationing. If a worker budgets carefully, he can have hundreds of kilograms of grain.

But for apprentices and the like, these hundreds of kilograms cost money, which can basically consume his salary. At most, everyone will be a little crazy to take advantage of this for a while. But as time goes by, the family will no longer be short of food, and it will slowly return to nature. Even some young people with decent wages have large appetites, and it is normal for them to eat a pound of grain for every meal. Anyway, I can save my own ration, and I can buy food internally, which is enough to take care of my family.

Anyway, after this operation, Luo Cheng was in front of the workers, and his cohesion increased again. People nowadays are indeed very simple in some aspects. If you let me live a good life, I will support you. In automobile factories and industrial areas, if the people below are dissatisfied with something, you can express your dissatisfaction. You can even say whatever you want to a certain leader, but don’t involve Factory Director Luo. Director Luo’s supporters will kill you with their spit.

As there are more workers, Director Zhou, the director of the trade union, has also become very busy recently. He went to the industrial area and held various activities, such as basketball court, table tennis, and even saw that there were more cultural people, and even held a calligraphy competition. of.

He was messing around in Luo Cheng Province. If a living area was built there, there would be a lot of people living there. Let him choose a place, a nursery, a kindergarten, an elementary school, a junior high school, and a technical secondary school. All these categories are built. They are all internal studies for employees, but for technical secondary schools, other junior high schools in the city are allowed to apply.

There will also be a junior high school built next to the automobile factory. After all, many people in Xicheng are employees of the automobile factory. It is impossible for those who live here to arrange for their children to study in the industrial zone. It is only suitable for outsiders who live there later.

Just when Luo Cheng was busy with construction and production, he received a phone call that made him excited.

Dai Tiande called and the research on materials was successful. Adding a certain proportion of rare earths and then forging can increase the density and willfulness of steel. The Soviet Union stopped producing engines and materials for tank manufacturing, causing the 617 Factory to cease production. Now through breakthroughs in materials, the engine has been developed before Luo Cheng.

Factory 617 can resume production again. The most important thing is that the armored vehicle dodger designed by Luo Cheng can also enhance its defense. As long as it is fast and has strong defense, even if it has no lethality, it will still be of great use on the battlefield.

Of course, the affairs of Factory 617 have nothing to do with Luo Cheng. The point is that the toughness of steel added with rare earths has been strengthened. In the past, some shaped plates would crack when punched by a stamping machine, but now they will not. But as soon as such materials are developed, they must be given priority to military factories.

For civilian use, if you can apply for a small amount, the price will definitely be much more expensive. Hongqi sedan will use such materials for bulletproof use. As for Luo Cheng, based on the current contribution of the car factory, if there are reasonable projects to apply for, they will be approved if the quantity is not large.

But if you want to use such materials to produce car shells and do one-time stamping molding, then forget it. In addition to military use, such materials will also be used in aviation. Civilians make car casings just for the purpose of molding them in one go. It is impossible to give them to automobile manufacturers. I would rather arrange for more people to knock it out for you instead of wasting materials.

When Luo Cheng first heard that the density and toughness of steel had been increased, what Luo Cheng really thought was that the body was stamped and formed in one go, which would free up many workers above level six to knock on the car shell every day. But when Dai Tiande explained it later, he finally understood that it was no different from the aviation materials people talked about in the 1980s and 1990s.

If performance and data cannot be improved, there is really no reason to apply for wasting this material to make car shells just for convenience. But one thing Luo Cheng complained about was that even if the gears of the transmission were made accurately, problems would still occur when the speed was very fast. The same is true for the engine’s runner. Under the same accuracy, the gears must be thickened to increase the force-bearing surface. Otherwise, if it is too thin, because the material is brittle, the probability of failure will be high over time.

Now go find a car produced in the Soviet Union, take it apart and compare its engine and transmission, and you will know. With the same horsepower, it is much thinner. If the gear is made of good steel and has the same thickness, there may be no problem even if the speed is doubled.

Therefore, materials must be applied and used only for certain key parts. The quantity will not be large, but it can improve the performance of the vehicle. Although the materials have been changed, the surface functions of the engine and transmission have not changed. However, when the materials are stronger, there is a lot of room for manipulation. For example, a turbocharger can make a car that can only run 160 to 180 yards suddenly suddenly change. More than a hundred. Then the speed is fast and the rotation speed is fast. In the past, you may have worried about problems with internal components, but using better materials can prevent this.

Even many cars in later generations start quickly because of the strong torque that starts instantly. But those who have watched the movie “Wind Life” starring Shen Teng have seen a funny clip where it felt like the car he was driving was about to take off, but he directly destroyed the car. The principle is that it is impossible for an ordinary car to produce such strong torque instantly. The gear immediately jumped and there was no power.

You must file a report and apply immediately, immediately. Now that we have taken the Japan route, we can actually resell the car to Eagle Sauce. At most, let the little devil earn a fortune and let them choose a name. Yingjiang likes speed and passion. A fast car is enough to make some people crazy.

Building a sports car and racing car is too avant-garde. Just build a normal-sized van and sell it to Yingjiang and the others for hunting. The Akina Mountain Riding God is just a van. Luo Cheng plans to build a high-displacement and fast turbocharged van. There will definitely be a market in North America, but now he has no choice but to cooperate with the little devil. After a few years, China and the United States will usher in a better period. You can kick Japan’s own country away with one kick.

(The material was indeed developed this year, so it was not from Sheji. The 617 Factory also resumed production in 1963. But it only improved the performance of the steel initially. It may be a process problem, and the output is not very high. High, so civilian steel is still the same ordinary steel as before. Some readers asked me to learn more about science and technology, but I have to consider material factors. Why can’t Japan’s current engines be copied? It’s not a structural problem, or the materials we produce are not as good as others. Can’t meet other people’s requirements.)
