Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 83: Use doctrine (additional update)

“Team Leader Luo, this is the style and structure drawing of the car we are currently producing at the No. 1 Automobile Factory. The task this time is to see if there is any possibility of improvement in performance. However, our team has just been established, so we will discuss it slowly first. I also know that this work is quite arduous, and performance improvement does not happen overnight. So, Team Leader Luo, which aspect do you think we should start researching first?”

Finally, there are drawings to look at. Talking on paper is what Luo Cheng is best at. Without immediately replying to Deputy Leader Jiang’s words, Luo Cheng first picked up a piece of information on the Liberation Truck and looked at it.

Instead of inspecting a car to see the data and styles of each component, it is so convenient to have drawings.

Which model of car corresponds to the engine style, bearings, chassis, configuration, power, etc. of this era.

Every configuration data must be up to standard in Luo Cheng’s eyes, but he also knows that the car’s structure and design must be the best configuration in the current era. For example, Luo Cheng disliked the low horsepower of the engine, so changing to a high-horsepower engine could improve power and starting speed. But with such a simple idea, it was his turn to think about it.

Performance can only be improved based on the existing equipment. For example, if an engine is not powerful enough, it cannot produce a more powerful engine. Some people have suggested whether it is possible to get two engines, but now they are still stuck on the idea, and the drawings and designs cannot be produced. Not to mention practice.

This dual engine did exist in later generations, referred to as dual engine, and was directly divided into a combination of electric engine and gasoline engine. But now there are not even electric cars. If you want to synchronize dual gasoline engines or anything like that, there is no need at all. Because of the simple dual engine, the positions of two engines need to be temporarily used, and if the horsepower is simply required, without caring about the size of the position, just use a larger engine.

Therefore, many theories and assumptions are likely to be wasted for months or even years. In the end, it is discovered that the concept may not make sense and can only be given up.

Luo Cheng slowly looked at the structures and data of several cars. The other team members did not bother Luo Cheng. They also wanted to see if the 21-year-old seventh-level engineer had the ability to put forward his own opinions.

“This~~, it seems that the content of my job is a bit simple. Should I pretend to be incompetent, find a project to explore that cannot be realized temporarily, and then easily get my salary every month, or should I really solve some problems.”

I looked at information on vans, trucks, jeeps and cars. Luo Cheng already had some ideas in mind, so he put down the materials and simply put them away. Luo Cheng looked at everyone sitting here. He originally wanted to fool around and explore the power system or something. This kind of thing is the most time-consuming and it is actually difficult to increase the kinetic energy without new power equipment. But after seeing the sincere expressions of several team members, Luo Cheng suddenly felt a little guilty.

Except for Luo Cheng himself, who is considered a native of Ngee Ann, everyone else came from Tianhu. The youngest ones are all in their thirties, and most of them have wives, children, and even parents.

If it really takes them in an extremely difficult direction, an exploratory project that even Luo Cheng himself cannot help, then they will have to leave their hometown and family for a long time. At most, they will go back during the New Year or occasionally take leave.

“Well, let me tell you a question first. I drove the car you drove from Tiando today and found a lot of problems. I want to ask everyone if you feel that it is difficult to turn the steering wheel of the car.”

It was hard to turn the steering wheel. Luo Cheng’s question confused everyone present. Because they don’t think it’s strenuous. All cars are like this, so there’s something wrong with it. When you turn the steering wheel while driving, you need to exert some effort to make the wheels below rotate. If this is considered effortless, they don’t know how to call it effortless.

Looking at the expressions of several people, Luo Cheng knew that he was vain, and he didn’t even find it difficult to turn the steering wheel. I might as well just enlarge the move, I happened to have a pen on me, and asked for a piece of white paper.

“I will simply draw the steering rod first. We all know how the steering wheel drives the front wheels to rotate. This is the steering wheel. When we turn the steering wheel, we will turn the connected gear and drive the rack, and then turn the wheel through the transverse tie rod. There should be no problem with what I said.”

This principle, everyone here is an engineer in car design, and they can also drive, so they naturally understand this principle, and this time they all nodded in cooperation. But this is a very basic thing, and they don’t understand where it is used.

“Well, I found that the current cars, whether they are trucks or small cars, all work on this principle, and this will lead to a situation. Large cars have large structures and large gears, so the bigger the car, the harder it is to steer. The more effort you put in~~.”

“Team Leader Luo~~.”

“Gong Li, don’t interrupt, let Team Leader Luo finish.”

“I understand, Team Leader Jiang.”

Li Yiwen was the one who interrupted. He originally wanted to say that this car is like this. Just as you need to exert five kilograms of strength to lift something weighing five kilograms, you will naturally need to exert more strength to lift something weighing ten kilograms.

“What I want to say is very simple. If it were not for the gears and racks, we would not be able to turn the car through the steering wheel at all, but since the gears and racks are used, we can turn the wheels with not much force. I think What I’m talking about is, is there a way to add a device to make the steering wheel turn easier.”

Adding a device to make the steering wheel turn easier. Speaking of this, Luo Cheng basically stated an exploration direction. All everyone has to do is to see the feasibility of this direction.

“Actually, this is not exploration. There are already such devices in foreign countries, but it’s just not many years ago. The cars they exported may not have added this device, because if it was added, the previous cars would be difficult to sell. So I Figured since they don’t add it, we’ll make it ourselves.”

Luo Cheng’s words were like a bomb, detonating directly in front of everyone. What he said was not just an idea, it actually existed abroad. However, they are also people who are often exposed to imported products, so the possibility does exist, and it is even very likely.

As for why Luo Cheng knew the news from abroad, it is not surprising considering that he is a disciple of Principal Dai, so there is no need to ask how he knew it.

“Now, let me talk about this device. The name of the function is power steering, and the device is power steering pump. The structure is a vane gear plunger~~~.”

While drawing pictures, explain the working principle in front of everyone. And we are all engineers. Whether the principles are correct or unreasonable can be understood at a glance.

They were ready for hard work. When they came, they told their parents, wives and children about the importance of work and asked for their family’s understanding and support. It is difficult to make progress in a job like theirs within a year and a half, and it is not impossible even in a few years.

But now they saw something. Not only did they have a direction and a complete theory, but they even figured out how to operate it. Of course Luo Cheng also said that this has long been available abroad, and it should not have been developed by him. But this is important. What is borrowingism?

Cars are imitations of other countries, as are ships and weapons. At present, there is a lack of development capabilities in China, so it would be great to be able to imitate it. Many things need to be explored on your own. If you are not given something, you can easily imitate it without any data or guidance.

So the power steering pump that Luo Cheng is talking about now, even if he learned it from elsewhere, as long as it can be produced and used domestically and the effect is the same as mentioned, then this is a merit.

No matter it is a white cat or a black cat, the one that can catch mice is a good cat.

There are still 38 chapters left. I don’t know if writing some structural principles is enough to count the number of words, but I wasted a lot of time to check it out.

It probably doesn’t count the number of words. Just like a doctor-type novel, it also has a lot of medical explanations.

Yes, I probably don’t have enough word count, that’s what it is.

The initial stage of the industrial plot is here. Once you have secured your position as team leader, you can just leave the rest of the work to the team members. My brother’s marriage is coming soon. To tell you a little bit about the drama, there will be another routine of returning to the village to show off, and it’s time for someone to take the initiative to ask for help.
