Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 502 Enriching Vehicle Functions

Many people are not familiar with the concept of torque. Most drivers only pay attention to horsepower when buying a car. They think that the greater the horsepower, the stronger the power of the car. In fact, this is a wrong perception.

Experienced truck drivers will have such a question: My car is obviously 300 horsepower, why does the engine always feel dull when I run it?The main reason for this question is the torque.

Horsepower and torque are two different concepts. From a physical definition, horsepower is a unit for measuring power, which refers to the work done by an object in a unit of time, and is a physical quantity that measures the speed of work.

Torque is a special moment when an object rotates. It is a method of workmanship, not a physical unit used to measure the speed of workmanship.

In layman's terms, horsepower refers to whether the car runs fast. People often say "this car runs really fast", referring to the high horsepower of the engine.The more horsepower, the faster the vehicle can reach speed.

People often say "this car is really powerful", but it actually refers to the high torque, and torque refers to explosive power, which is the way to make the vehicle burst out of power in an instant.The greater the torque, the stronger the vehicle's ability to accelerate from a standstill and climb hills is what makes the difference between the two.

Fang Dongping used to design this engine purely to kill time. He didn't even expect to be able to manufacture this engine, so he didn't consider the manufacturing process at all when designing, and made the best engine he could think of. The plans are all drawn up on paper.

Unexpectedly, this design drawing can really come in handy, and the most difficult material problem was solved by Niu Xiaoqiang, so this engine can be truly manufactured.Without the support of super carbon steel, this engine can only be a spectacle, and it is impossible to turn it from a drawing into a reality.

The driver had never driven a truck with such a high torque, and when the car pulled out of the factory gate, he deliberately slammed on the accelerator to show off.As a result, the engine responded immediately, and the body jumped forward suddenly, almost losing control, but he didn't scare him to death.

Fortunately, he was very experienced, and immediately slammed the steering wheel, the car body turned at a beautiful large angle, and the rear wheels drifted a little, bringing up a thick cloud of smoke and dust.

The crowd immediately applauded and praised the driver's superb driving skills.Niu Xiaoqiang and the others didn't care about this, they all turned their ears to listen to the roar of the engine.

For veterans, if you want to tell whether an engine is good or not, you can tell a thing or two from the sound.

After hearing the roar of the engine, several veterans all showed satisfied smiles.

The sound of this engine is very low, and the sound waves emitted during acceleration make the people around them tremble, and the ground also trembles.This is not only a display of surging power, but also a manifestation of the perfect coordination of all parts of the engine.

Song Zhiyi chuckled: "Director, you are really good. The diesel engine you developed is definitely second to none in China."

Fang Dongping is not humble at all: "This is the truth. I, Fang Dongping, may not be able to compare with my domestic counterparts in other aspects, but when it comes to engines—especially diesel engines, I don't think of second people."

The other people who know how to do it all burst out laughing.They were not laughing at Fang Dongping's arrogance, but agreed with Fang Dongping's words, and they were full of hope for the unfulfilled Asian Machinery Factory, and they laughed because they were happy.

The engine is the core component of a car. The performance of a car depends largely on whether the engine is good or not.

Now with such an engine with superior performance as a support, the future of Asia Machinery Factory is simply limitless.The better the factory operates, the veterans who joined the factory at the beginning of its establishment will naturally be rewarded, and their wages will definitely increase in the future. Can everyone be unhappy?

Niu Xiaoqiang said heartily: My engine design level seems to be no worse than that of Master, so I can be ranked No.2 in China?
Fang Dongping approached Niu Xiaoqiang: "Xiaoqiang, let's divide the manpower between the two and take turns to be on duty. I am on the day shift, and I will solve problems encountered during the day. You are on the night shift, and you will solve problems encountered at night." Otherwise, if we don't keep an eye on such an important link, I don't feel at ease."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded in agreement: "No problem, let's arrange it like this. I will stay in the office for the past three days, and I can deal with things as soon as possible."

After Niu Xiaoqiang finished speaking, he allocated the staff.Following Fang Dongping on the day shift are several older masters, such as Song Zhiyi and Deng Liang, and Li Kewang from the machining workshop.

Chen Hong, Zhou Kai, and Chen Fanghua followed Niu Xiaoqiang on the night shift. These three were relatively young and relatively able to stay up late.

The allocation of the two shifts takes into account the comprehensiveness of the technology, and the general problems can be solved by themselves, and everyone has no opinion on this.After the division into teams, the people on the night shift watched the excitement for a while and then went back to rest.

After Niu Xiaoqiang returned to his office, he couldn't fall asleep at all. He just got up and sat at his desk to conceive a perfect plan for the vehicle's functions.

The function of the vehicle is a very important link in Niu Xiaoqiang's view. At present, domestic trucks have no other functions other than being able to drive.Niu Xiaoqiang felt that this was very bad, and he didn't consider the driver's feelings at all.

After some serious thinking, he planned to install some functions in the cab that domestic trucks currently do not have.For example, radio function, tape playback function and so on.

Although this will increase the manufacturing cost, the money spent is not much for a car, but it can greatly improve the driver's satisfaction. Niu Xiaoqiang feels that the money spent is definitely worth it.

He has already left enough space in the cab in advance to install radios and tape playback equipment, and now he has to consider how to install the tape recorder purchased from outside to the car.

Speaking of the tape recorder, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help thinking of Zhang Guangmao's daughter Xiaolan.Xiaolan is an expert in this area, unlike Niu Xiaoqiang, who is relatively unfamiliar with electronic equipment.

Xiaolan has been studying abroad for half a year, and she originally agreed to write a letter to Niu Xiaoqiang, but until now Niu Xiaoqiang has not received any letter from her, and it is not known whether she did not write it at all, or she wrote it. The letter was lost by the post office.

"It would be great if Xiaolan was here. She is so familiar with electronic equipment, she will definitely help me think of ways to modify it."

Niu Xiaoqiang shook his head slightly when he talked to himself, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'd better deal with it myself. It's not that there are no technicians in the factory. What do you expect Xiaolan to do?"

　Thanks to the book friends "Shanggu Jinjiang" and "Twilight Reaper" for their support, bow!
