Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 134 Jeep
The next day, Yang Zhenyu went to work as usual since there was nothing for him to do at home anyway.

The elderly took turns looking after the children, and Zhou Qianqian's sister-in-law Geng Wenzhen also looked after them, so they felt at ease.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Yu Caiying congratulated Yang Zhenyu as soon as he entered the room.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Yang Zhenyu also said with a smile.

"Engineer Yang, why are you back to work so soon? Why don't you stay at home for a few more days to take care of me during the confinement period?" Yu Caiying asked curiously.

"There's no place for me to stay at home. It's so lively with my aunt, mother-in-law, and Xixi's sister-in-law. I'd better go to work." Yang Zhenyu shrugged.

"Hehe, that's true. When all the family members get together, there really is no place for you men." Yu Caiying laughed. She was also an experienced person and knew this situation.

"There was nothing I could do, so I had to be kicked out." Yang Zhenyu shrugged.

"Okay, go notify a few team leaders to come to the conference room and we'll have a small meeting." Yang Zhenyu stopped joking and started getting down to business.

These new employees have been here for two months and have almost gotten used to the job. They have become familiar with all kinds of machines in the factory and it is time to start working on new projects.

"I have a document here. Let's pass it around and take a look." Yang Zhenyu handed the document he had compiled over the past few days to the engineer sitting next to him.

Each person holds a different copy of the information, which they quickly read and then exchange.

Conditions were limited during this period, printers had not yet been invented, and the main civilian printing technology was still mimeographing. However, there was no opportunity to do mimeographing at home.

Therefore, we could only sort out several different documents and let them take turns reading them.

"Engineer Yang, is the next stage ours to design the car?"

"Yes, it is the design of a car, but not a sedan. It is a jeep. The project superiors have approved it and allowed our factory to carry out the design." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"Jeep?"

"That's right. My application report says that it should be more comfortable and more adaptable to various road conditions, while also allowing passengers to experience unprecedented feelings. The design task this time is very heavy. Whether it is the appearance, the engine, or the interior, everything needs to be done to the extreme." Yang Zhenyu nodded and said.

"Engineer Yang, given the technical conditions of our factory, can these plans be realized?"

"Here is a design concept, everyone take a look." Yang Zhenyu handed a design concept to the engineers.

The design concept of the simplified version is not long, just over one page, with only an introduction to each function.

However, many things are new to the engineers here.

"Engineer Yang, it's not that I don't believe in your ability, but this design concept is really too incredible. If we really produce a car like this, it will probably be more comfortable than the instructors' cars, right?"

"Yes, Engineer Yang, many technologies in our country are still a bit backward. No, it's not just our country, I'm afraid even foreign countries can't do many things, right?"

"That's right, is this thing called car air conditioning really possible?"

"Okay, okay, everyone, be quiet for a moment. This design concept is only under ideal conditions, and I know that we can't succeed all at once. But we can temporarily set a small goal, and then work towards it. For example, if we can't make an in-car air conditioner, then we can always make an in-car circulation system, right?" Yang Zhenyu said.

Several engineers nodded repeatedly. What was the purpose of their study?
Isn’t it just about trying to narrow the gap with Western countries?

What if they surpass Western countries through their efforts?
"Okay, I'll send the plan to you. After you go back, you can start designing with your team members. I've made the overall blueprint and the dimensions. All you teams need to do is design reasonable components within the specified dimensions."

It is not easy to design a car. Most of the cars in China nowadays are imitations.

Of course, the 212 has embarked on the path of independent design, but it is still somewhat influenced by some foreign cars. However, since the design started in 61, it has not yet been put into mass production. You can imagine how difficult it is.

Yang Zhenyu is a latecomer. Although he is not an automobile professional, he has been exposed to design drawings. For scientists at this stage, Yang Zhenyu's advantage is that he knows what kind of design is more beneficial.

In addition, he has read a lot of books about cars in recent years and is very familiar with some of the technologies of this era, so Yang Zhenyu is confident that he can achieve mass production earlier than 212.

However, automobile design is still a long-term task and it cannot be completed in just a few steps. The design process alone takes several months, and the production of various accessories also takes some time.

Even if it is placed in a steel mill, it still takes a lot of time.

For Yang Zhenyu, work is important, but his wife and children are also very important now.

Especially, my wife has not yet finished her confinement.

"Xixi, look, what did I buy for you?" Yang Zhenyu said as he walked into the house carrying two big pig's trotters.

"Eating pig's trotters again." Zhou Qianqian felt a little resistant when she saw pig's trotters. She had pig's trotters every day these days and she was indeed fed up with them.

"Of course not, there's this." Yang Zhenyu raised his other hand, which contained a big fish.

"This fish is sea fish I bought specially. I will stew it for you later. I also stewed pig's trotters. Eat more. Our baby is counting on you for dinner." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"I hate you so much. You're already a father, but you don't do anything serious all day long. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?" Zhou Qianqian glanced at Geng Wenzhen and said.

"Haha, I'll give these things to my aunt and ask her to pack them up quickly." Yang Zhenyu smiled awkwardly and went out.

It is indeed inconvenient to have a few more people at home, and many things cannot be said freely.

It is like this these days. In order to help mothers produce milk, pig trotters and fish soup are always available in every household.

However, it doesn’t happen as frequently as in Yang Zhenyu’s family.

There is no way. Yang Zhenyu's family is mainly rich. The salary of three people exceeds 300 yuan, which is definitely a high-income group in this era.

With Yang Zhenyu's identity, he could easily get various tickets, so he could always eat pig's trotters and fish soup so smoothly.

"Brother Zhuzi, Brother Zhuzi, why don't you go out fishing instead of going to work tomorrow?" Yang Zhenyu shouted towards He Yuzhu's house.

"What?" He Yuzhu walked out of the house and asked.

"Go fishing. The fish you catch in the river will definitely taste better. You can bring them back and stew them later." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Of course, but I don't know how to do it." He Yuzhu scratched his head and said.

Fishing is a good idea. His family can't possibly get tickets to buy a lot of meat like Yang Zhenyu does.

But new mothers also need nutrition. Sha Zhu was having a headache about this. When he heard Yang Zhenyu talking about fishing, his eyes lit up.

"Well, it sounds just like what I said. Find a bamboo pole, find a line, and use a needle to make a few hooks, that's it. As for the bait, I need to think of a way." Yang Zhenyu waved his hand and said.

"Okay, then let's try it tomorrow and ride our bikes a little further away. We might be able to catch a big fish." He Yuzhu nodded.
