Chapter 447: Great Power Works Miracles (First update, please subscribe)

The development of excavators and loaders cannot be completed in a short while. Although Nanyang's hydraulic technology is very mature, when it comes to the research of new engineering equipment, it cannot be solved with just a few structural sketches. There are still many technologies Details need to be worked out, and these take time.

Although he is determined to replace manpower with machinery as soon as possible, Li Yian can only wait for Foton Company to complete the development of excavators and loaders.

However, Li Yi'an was not idle. After returning to Chang'an, he once again drove along the East Coast Expressway to Taiping, which is the petrochemical city in Nanyang. He went there to inspect petrochemical plants and the progress of the main plastics industry.

In the past few years, at Li Yi'an's request, a batch of PVC, PP, ABS and other plastic production equipment and patented technologies were introduced from the United Kingdom and the United States. Subsequently, Nanyang began to research plastic products, starting from researching plastic processing equipment, and then When it comes to processing plastic parts, there are various technical problems that need to be solved.

However, the application of plastic parts can not only significantly reduce production costs, but also reduce labor hours and also reduce the use of labor.

Since 1949, not only Li Yi'an has realized that it is necessary to use as much machinery as possible to liberate the labor force, but many other people are also considering this issue.

After all, as we all know, Nanyang's labor force is limited.

The weekend coincided with the high school graduation exam, and Taiping City No. 36 Middle School was recruited as the exam center. Lu Qizhi, as a teacher at the No. 2 Middle School, also became the invigilator.

It was a good weekend to spend in a boring invigilation, which made Lu Qizhi feel a little irritable.

For Lu Qizhi, spending the weekend squatting in the "laboratory" and working on his own little inventions is a perfect weekend.

Although the principal's tone was full of admiration, Lu Qizhi's ears seemed to have something else, and he quickly explained:

"Teacher Lu, you misunderstood me."

The principal nodded and said kindly.

In fact, what Lu Qizhi didn't know was that it was not only the mayor, but also the president who was alarmed. Originally, Li Yi'an was inspecting the plastic synthesis line of the petrochemical company, but when the car passed the construction site, he unexpectedly saw a very familiar machine. The equipment - frog type tamping machine, so he stopped the car and asked about it. After learning that the equipment was invented by a teacher from Taiping Middle School, he immediately became interested.

"What? Mayor? How did he know?"

"Teacher Lu, do you know that when you were taking the exam just now, the mayor called and asked about you and the tamping machine. I couldn't explain clearly at the time. I just said that I would reply later and the mayor asked in person. Moreover, the tamping machine you invented has very good application effects and is worth promoting."

Although he didn't know why the principal asked this, Lu Qizhi still nodded and said:

"That's what happened! After the samples were made, they were just delivered to the construction site a few days ago."

Lu Qizhi looked at the principal with confusion on his face.

"Principal, please rest assured. I did this in my spare time. Researching machinery is just a personal hobby and it will never affect teaching."

"Teacher Lu, let's go to the office and talk."

The principal waved his hands and said.

This is just an invention, how could it alarm a big shot like the mayor?

After finally getting through the invigilation and packing up the test papers, Lu Qizhi was about to leave when he saw the principal standing not far away, waving to him.

Lu Qizhi quickly walked over and asked:

"Principal, are you looking for me?"

"Oh, I didn't expect there to be an inventor in our school. He was really buried and buried."

Lu Qizhi followed the principal into the office. The principal actually poured Lu Qizhi a cup of tea himself, which made Lu Qizhi a little flattered.

Then the principal asked:

"Teacher Lu, there is something I want to confirm with you. Have you researched a tamping machine?"

After all, not to mention that tamping in Nanyang still relies on manpower, it is the same all over the world, but who would have expected to see a frog-type tamping machine in Taiping that relies on an electric motor to drive an eccentric wheel for tamping.

After learning that it was a local invention, Li Yian became interested and immediately contacted the school.

Soon, Lu Qizhi and his party arrived at the petrochemical company and finally met the big shot. If the mayor is a big shot, then the person in front of him... is a legend!

"General, President..." Lu Qizhi was in a daze, and the principal was simply stunned and speechless.

Who would have thought that they would see the president here.

Seeing their appearance, Li Yian slowed down and said:

"Teacher Lu, your invention is very good. Tell me, how did you come up with it?"

"Sir, no, no, sir, it's like this. Last year, a fellow villager happened to be at the construction site. When I went to find him, I saw five or six people on the construction site working together to lift stones and lay the foundation. So I thought about whether I could design a A one-type tamping machine can reduce the work intensity of workers. I thought about it for a while and figured it out. In fact, it is not complicated. It consists of a tamper, a ram frame, an eccentric block, a pulley and a motor. The working process is through The belt drive uses the centrifugal force of the eccentric block to cause the tamping body to impact and vibrate up and down, thereby compacting the material. At the same time, it also uses the centrifugal force to allow the body to move on its own."

Slowly, Lu Qizhi became less nervous. Li Yian smiled after listening to his explanation.

"Your invention is very good. Although it is just a small invention, it improves construction efficiency. The construction efficiency of mechanical tamping machine is several times or even ten times faster than traditional manual earth compaction. It also improves the quality of construction. Mechanical earth compaction hammer The high frequency of impact and the large impact force are conducive to the close combination between soil particles, thereby improving the stability and compactness of the soil."

And the most important thing is to save manpower!

Li Yi'an has seen on documentary films that tamping large construction sites currently relies on either road rollers or manpower, the kind where five or six people lift up stone tampers and ram hard.

This small device looks inconspicuous, but it fundamentally solves the problem.

Later, Li Yian continued to ask Lu Qizhi if he had any other inventions. When he learned that he already had more than 20 patents, he smiled and said to the principal beside him.

"Principal Cheng, you are not bad at all. You have trained an inventor in the school!"

Upon hearing this, the principal immediately beamed with joy and praised Lu Qizhi, and then Li Yian asked again.

"Teacher Lu, have you found a suitable investment for your tamping machine?"

"Huh? What investor?"

Hearing this, Li Yian said to the mayor on the side.

"Mayor Lin, look, this shows that our publicity is still in place. We need to tell these inventors that their inventions can be turned into wealth, and venture capital is also willing to invest in their inventions."

Your Majesty has already said so. As the mayor of a city, what can Lin Xuexian say? He said quickly.

"What you said is true. It was our mistake."

Li Yian then chatted with Lu Qizhi for a while before personally sending Lu Qizhi into the car.

Of course, reporters filmed the entire process, and soon a news story about "His Excellency the President meeting with private inventors" will appear in the newspapers.

Although it is just a seemingly inconspicuous little invention, it can send a signal to the world and tell everyone that Nanyang values ​​invention and creation.

On the way out of the petrochemical plant, Lu Qizhi's mood was simply indescribable. He never expected to be interviewed by the president because of an invention. He was in such a good mood that he even had two drinks that day.

At this time, Lu Qizhi did not realize that he would soon become a millionaire because of this invention. After all, this kind of tamping machine is needed on every construction site in Nanyang. His invention not only speeds up the speed of foundation tamping, but also releases a lot of manpower for Nanyang, which has insufficient human resources.

In just a few months, this simple machine. It was rapidly promoted in Nanyang. As the inventor, Lu Qizhi gained a lot of wealth, and of course he also got the nickname "Mr. Hong". Even the brand he owns has become "Mr. Ram".

And all this is just the beginning. As the news was published, everyone saw that Nanyang attached great importance to invention and creation. More and more people, like Lu Qizhi, were engaged in various inventions and innovations, although their levels were uneven.

But the atmosphere of the entire society is changing towards one that encourages innovation and invention. It is precisely this change in atmosphere that makes Nanyang develop in another direction without hesitation...
