Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 91 Business trip
"Engineer Yang, I have seen pictures of this thing when I was in school. But isn't this thing said to have a very high technological content? Now our country can only imitate some excavators from the north. As for independent research and development, we don't have the foundation. After all, our factory doesn't even have a sample." Xin Xiangdong said.

"Yes, Engineer Yang, this is quite difficult." Qi Fangfang also said.

"It is indeed difficult, but if there is a problem, we must solve it, and if there is difficulty, we must do our best to overcome it. Next, I will explain the structural problems of the excavator, and then assign tasks." Yang Zhenyu nodded and said.

"The existing excavator structure includes a power unit, a working device, a slewing mechanism, a control mechanism, a transmission mechanism, a traveling mechanism and auxiliary facilities, etc. First of all..."

These things were sorted out by Yang Zhenyu based on his memory, and he explained them to the technicians through the use of conceptual diagrams.

According to Yang Zhenyu's plan, he will give some things that do not require much technical content to these technicians to complete, while things like hydraulic presses are relatively technically difficult and must be completed by himself.

So, the entire engineering and technology department became busy again.

Yang Zhenyu returned to his small office so that the technicians could find him easily if there were any technical problems.

Secretary Yu Caiying's work became monotonous. Serving tea and water was part of her daily routine, and her other work mainly involved going to the general affairs department to get manuscript paper, pencils and other things.

These things are consumed too quickly.

"Aunt, you're worrying about nothing. I'm in good health." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

Designing drawings is not something you can do just by thinking about it. Plus, the workload is huge, so it's inevitable to worry about it, which is why I lost weight.

When the General Affairs Department and the Factory Office saw the consumption in the Engineering Department, they knew that something big was going to happen.

Winter came during this busy period.

Yang Zhenyu really didn't care. The reason he lost weight was definitely because he was tired.

After the drawings were completed and checked repeatedly for problems, Yang Zhenyu asked the technicians to copy them and then sent them to the workshop to start producing accessories.

"After several months of hard work, it's almost done. The other drawings have been completed, leaving only my own, which should be finished in the next two days." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"Everyone in the factory knows about this now. The General Affairs Department has said that as long as the engineering department's consumption goes up, there will definitely be big moves. It's been so long, and the news has spread throughout the factory," said Zhou Qianqian.

As long as the parts are produced and assembled and tested successfully, the branch factory will be a done deal.

"I know. We've been eating pretty well recently. Director Yang often gives us chicken, fish and other things. There's no doubt that there's no problem with nutrition." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"You have to take care of your health. Look at how much weight you've lost recently." Zhou Qianqian said.

The centralized heating system has not been fully promoted at this time. The main heating direction now is large public areas, and it has not yet been achieved in households. Coal is the main heating method.

"How come you know about this too?" Yang Zhenyu asked curiously.

"Is your project not completed yet?" Zhou Qianqian looked at Yang Zhenyu, who looked a little thin, and said with concern.

"Well, my aunt said she would prepare something delicious tonight, so I guess she would cook meat again." Zhou Qianqian said.

"Director, you are so well-informed. I just distributed the drawings and you knew about it right after that?" Yang Zhenyu said to Director Yang.

"What? The drawings have been distributed?" Director Yang said in confusion.

From the expression on Director Yang's face, Yang Zhenyu could tell that he was really confused. He didn't expect the drawings to be distributed so quickly. "Yes, they have just been distributed. I guess the workshop has already started producing the corresponding parts." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Okay, that's great. You guys can do it as you please. I'll go to the department to keep an eye on it in the next few days. This branch factory must be ours. No one else can do it." Director Yang was excited.

Ever since the fertilizer production equipment project was snatched away last time, Director Yang has been dissatisfied with everyone. Especially every time there is a move in the factory, he feels that outsiders are here to snatch the project and is very vigilant.

"By the way, Director, why did you ask me to come over?" Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"Oh, look at my memory. This time there is a task from above and you need to go on a business trip." Director Yang said, slapping his forehead.

"Business trip? When?" Yang Zhenyu was very curious. He had been working on this job for nearly a year and had never been on a business trip.

"The higher-ups said the sooner the better. It's mainly because the steel rolling mill in Tianjin has some technical difficulties. The department has been looking for someone for a long time, and finally thought of you. We hope you can go over and help solve the problem. It would be best if you could help them improve their technology. As for the specific time, you may not be able to come back until the Gregorian calendar year." Director Yang said.

"So it's going to be a month?" Yang Zhenyu frowned and said.

"That's right. If it can be resolved as soon as possible, you can come back early. I guess it's mainly about training. According to your level, it shouldn't take long." Director Yang said.

"Okay, then I'll go back and clean up. This matter is a bit sudden." Yang Zhenyu had no choice but to agree.

"Please take two technicians with you. We can't let you do it all by yourself," said Director Yang.

"clear."

Since Director Yang said so, Yang Zhenyu would definitely understand what he meant.

This so-called business trip, besides being for work, also has the meaning of showing off.

With the technicians around, most of the work does not require Yang Zhenyu, an engineer, to do anything. He will only be assigned to those tasks that cannot be handled.

The next day, Yang Zhenyu left the steel mill with Xin Xiangdong and a technician named Yue Shangyong.

This time they drove away. Director Yang assigned the factory's jeep to Yang Zhenyu, saying that the steel rolling mill could not lose face.

Yang Zhenyu doesn't really like driving, especially cars of this era.

As for today's cars, firstly, the shock absorption is not good, so it is really uncomfortable to ride bumpy on the road; secondly, the sealing is not good, and there is no air conditioning, so you will definitely freeze to death on the way.

In this day and age, if you drive a jeep in the winter, you have to bring two more military coats, otherwise you will freeze to death.

Fortunately, the distance was not far and we arrived there in a few hours.

Just as Yang Zhenyu thought, the technical difficulties here were actually nothing serious, and it was mainly a matter of machine modification.

Previously, they were given a production task and were required to produce seamless steel pipes. Red Star Factory had experience in this, so they were asked to come over for support.

In fact, Yang Zhenyu doesn't even need to be involved in this renovation project; Xin Xiangdong and the other person can do it.

After the project was completed, these technicians studied it for a long time and had become very familiar with it.
