Scholars in the courtyard

After a while, the train started to move again.

Wang Hao looked at the train station going away, "It's interesting to say that although this train station is listed as Dezhou Railway Station, it is under the jurisdiction of Tianjin Railway Station."

"why is that?"

"I don't know, but after passing here, it will be under the control of Lu Province."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, Wang Hao said on the side, looked at the time again, it was almost one o'clock, "Have something to eat?"

When Wang Hao said this, Yang Xiaotao was really a little hungry.

The conductor happened to be passing by, and the two asked for some more water, and then took out the prepared dry food to eat.

Wang Hao prepared pancakes, as did Yang Xiaotao.

However, Wang Hao’s is a solid whole-grain pancake, while Yang Xiaotao’s is a stuffed two-pack noodle pancake.

When going out, Yang Xiaotao didn't want to be too high-profile, so he kept all the delicious food.

The two of them were eating, and the young man opposite also took out a steamed bun and started eating it as well.

After eating, Yang Xiaotao stood up the collar of his coat and pulled it up to protect his head. He leaned against the window and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

A familiar voice appeared, but Yang Xiaotao was thinking about the steam engine this time.

If steam power is used to replace electric motors and diesel engines, even if the power is smaller, it is still stronger than human power.

There has been a breakthrough in terms of power, and the rest is easy to talk about.

It’s just that steam engines cannot be manufactured just by manufacturing them.

If you look at the fact that trains are still powered by steam, you will know that this "antique" level of technology is still shining in this land.

Thinking about the steam engine, Yang Xiaotao had no idea and could only find some information. It would be best to design it with reference to the real thing.

"Yellow River!"

Suddenly, someone made a sound, interrupting Yang Xiaotao's thoughts.

Opening his eyes, he breathed and moved his body. Wang Hao beside him also opened his eyes, but he looked around first, and then relaxed.

Through the window, Yang Xiaotao watched the Yellow River getting closer and closer to the front, surrounded by exclamations.

When we reach the Yellow River, we are not far from Quancheng.

"There's still half an hour left."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, and the two began to pack their bags, and they would get off the bus soon.

The car approached Quancheng, and the crowds on both sides became denser. Rows of rural houses were arranged neatly, and then two-story and three-story houses appeared. Finally, they entered the urban area of ​​Quancheng City and ran for a while to the East Station. The train finally arrived. Stop.

Yang Xiaotao and Wang Hao sat on the ground, waiting for everyone to leave before they got off the car with their backpacks.

As for the young man opposite, he had already run to a group of them, talking about his ambitions.

"This way."

Wang Hao looked at the sign, and the two of them followed the flow of people outside. There were always several figures in front of and behind them, guarding them vaguely.

Yang Xiaotao didn't pay attention and followed Wang Hao forward, gradually leaving the crowd.

Soon I saw a jeep parked outside the platform, with two people standing around, both wearing military coats.

Wang Hao walked over, and after both parties confirmed their identities, Yang Xiaotao was greeted to come forward.

"Hello, Comrade Yang Xiaotao, I am the security officer of the No. 1 Factory, Huo Lin, welcome to your arrival."

"Hello, Director Huo. It's an honor for me to study here."

The two parties met, exchanged a few polite words, then got in the car and left the train station together.

The car drove all the way to the No. 1 Machinery Factory. When the people from the security department saw Huolin, they immediately opened the door and notified the factory at the same time.

As the car entered the gate, it heard the noise of machinery, which was similar to that of a steel rolling mill.

Yang Xiaotao cheered up and looked at the busy workers around him. There were shouts from time to time, looking very enthusiastic.

The car stopped in front of the office building, and Yang Xiaotao and Wang Hao got out of the car.

Soon a middle-aged man with glasses and a stout body ran out, jumped over the steps, and came to the two of them in a blink of an eye.

"Welcome, welcome, two comrades."

As he spoke, he extended his hand and shook hands with enthusiasm.

Yang Xiaotao quickly stretched out his hand, and Huo Lin on the side introduced him, "This is our factory director Wang."

Yang Xiaotao immediately replied, "Hello, Director Wang, I am Yang Xiaotao from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill."

"I know, I know." Director Wang did not let go of his hand, but said boldly, "I know, Ma Guoan from our factory went to learn about the heating stove a while ago. Now the factory has produced it and is expanding production. No Come to think of it, this pressurized water well has come out again."

"The next generation is formidable, and there are still people who will succeed you."

"Director Wang, don't say that. You are a revolutionary senior, and juniors dare not take credit in front of you."

"Haha, okay, good boy, not arrogant, but also capable. No wonder Lao Yang doesn't want you to come out. If I want to have this treasure, I will hold it in my hands."

Factory Director Wang laughed, and after letting go, he met Wang Hao again. The two greeted each other politely, and then led Yang Xiaotao and Yang Xiaotao to the office.

The office was not big, and it was a bit messy. However, Yang Xiaotao took a look and saw that the papers on the desktop were all design drawings, which were in a mess.

It seems that this factory director Wang understands technology.

This is different from Yang Youning, who specializes in management.

The same is true for Xu Yuanshan and Chen Gong.

"It's a bit messy, I'm sorry."

Factory Director Wang picked up the drawings on the table and shouted out the door, "Maverick. This damn kid, where did he go?"

A young man ran in outside the door, holding a kettle in his hand.

"Director, didn't you ask me to fetch water?"

"You don't know how to clean up the water when you get it? What should you do if you let Wen You look at it?"

"I…"

"Okay, okay, hurry up and pack up. We'll have a meeting later." Director Wang said, grabbing the thermos and not treating Yang Xiaotao and the others as guests at all. Maybe this is the generosity of Qilu culture.

"Sit down first, take a rest, and drink water."

Factory Director Wang poured the water himself, and Yang Xiaotao quickly took it.

"Gong Yang, let's have a meeting today. After the meeting is over, we will take you to your residence."

Factory Director Wang said, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face again, "This matter has caused our factory a lot of worry. It has been up and down for almost half a month and it still can't be solved. I'm just waiting for you to solve the problem."

Yang Xiaotao replied cautiously.

"Director Wang, please don't say that. I don't know what the problem is and I just came here confused. It's better to understand the specific situation."

"Yes, let's have a meeting right away!"

Factory Director Wang said, "Xiao Niu, go call someone quickly."

Then he sat aside and smiled kindly, but he looked like a ghostly fat man, which made Yang Xiaotao silently be wary.

"No one's here yet, let me briefly explain the situation."

Director Wang took out a box of cigarettes and gave them to the two of them. Yang Xiaotao and Wang Hao took them and just held them in their hands.

Factory Director Wang clicked on it, and then said worriedly.

"Please come, there is indeed a difficult matter."

"Our factory is considered a leader in Quancheng. It has undertaken many tasks over the years. Recently, we have provided parts to that automobile manufacturer. It is the one that manufactured the Huanghe heavy truck. Do you know?"

Yang Xiaotao and Wang Hao nodded. They asked about it when they came. Besides, the Quancheng Automobile Manufacturing Factory is well-known in the country. The Huanghe JN150 truck it manufactured is my country's first heavy-duty truck and will become an important part of the country's transportation in the next ten years. strength.

Seeing the two people nodding, he continued.

"This truck is imitated from abroad. It's pretty much the same in other places. But our engine is not good. The Huanghe truck uses a diesel engine from Shanghai. They modified the marine engine and put it in the car. superior……"

Following Factory Director Wang's brief explanation, Yang Xiaotao understood the situation.

Huanghe Auto is considered a good car in China, but internationally, it is not good enough.

As Director Wang said, this car has the disadvantages of insufficient capacity, short battery life, and slow speed due to its backward engine.

Although the current Huanghe automobile has been improved a lot, its small load capacity and slow speed are still the main problems, which seriously affects the efficiency and range.

Quancheng Automobile Factory has been constantly looking for ways to improve its cars and improve its data over the years.

But the engine cannot be changed, the main problems cannot be solved, and other directions can only be left to the details.

When Yang Xiaotao heard this, he thought he was asked to work on the engine. Although there was a complete set of diesel engines in the space, he hadn't fully understood it yet, so he took it out rashly. How would he explain it if asked?

What's more, it's obvious at first glance that this engine requires strong industrial support, and it's simply impossible to get it right in one step.

Yang Xiaotao wants more to understand these technologies thoroughly, and then gradually design a simple engine and develop it step by step.

He had no plans now.

Besides, the engine would take too long and didn't fit into his plan.

Fortunately, Director Wang did not say much about this, but focused on the bearings.

Yes, it’s the car’s bearings.

After actual testing, the automobile factory found that there was a problem with the bearing quality of the car, which not only affected the load capacity of the truck, but also affected the speed.

And this bearing is provided by their first machine factory.

Liu Dehui, the director of the automobile factory, came to them personally and asked them to improve the bearings and improve quality.

The automobile manufacturer is also anxious, seeing that the appraisal team from the superior organization is about to arrive. At that time, experts sent by the superior and representatives from across the country will come to 'acceptance'.

Of course Factory Director Liu wants to make the best Huanghe car, so he has stricter requirements on these accessories.

Therefore, a machine factory began to improve the bearings years ago, but the effect was not great.

Nowadays, the grinders used for grinding bearings are still used by Big Brother in the north. Big Brother's products are rough and have a limited service life. The second-hand ones that have been eliminated are even rougher and inferior.

Under the same circumstances, the error of the grinder itself makes the bearings come out the same, and even the thickness is uneven and the steel balls cannot be inserted.

Therefore, when producing bearings, a master craftsman is required to watch on the side. When the bearing is ready, he quickly stops the machine and measures it. If the bearing is not qualified, he can continue grinding.

In this way, not only the efficiency cannot be improved, but the manufacturing speed is also restricted.

But now to improve the bearings, we must either improve the efficiency of workers' grinding, or start with a grinding machine.

There are only two eighth-level fitters in the No. 1 Machinery Factory, and they are not too young. They can complete the tasks of their superiors on weekdays. How can they have time to make bearings?

As for level seven and below, there are also problems with the bearings made.

So someone proposed to improve the grinder.

If the grinder could be improved, these problems would disappear.

This idea was approved by most people, including Factory Director Wang.

Therefore, under the leadership of Director Wang, the No. 1 Machinery Factory gathered all the high-level combat forces of the entire factory to battle the grinding machines after the year.

But in the end...

"This grinder was disassembled, wiped and wiped, and the replaceable parts were replaced. However, after it was assembled, it..."

Factory Director Wang looked annoyed. Although it had some problems before, at least it could still be used.

The tasks of the car factory can also be completed.

But now it makes a creaking sound as soon as the power is turned on, and it immediately stops working.

The tasks are now all manual polishing by workers who work overtime. After this, the whole factory is complaining that he, the factory director, has been scolded behind his back, so he has no choice but to invite Yang Xiaotao to come to the rescue.

"No, Ma Guoan, who came back from an exchange in our factory, said that you can repair the rolling mill. I thought, if the rolling mill in this rolling mill can be repaired, this little grinder will definitely not be a problem."

"That's why I sent a report overnight and transferred you here."

"We are all revolutionary comrades, we are one family and we don't see each other outside, haha."

Factory Director Wang said, but Yang Xiaotao laughed helplessly.

He dared to repair the steel rolling mill. There was a blueprint for the steel rolling mill, and he was able to repair it by chance.

He had never even seen this grinder, yet this man named Wang called him over and had so much confidence in him?

If this can't be fixed, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

For a moment, Yang Xiaotao felt, what was going on in this fat man's head?

What Yang Xiaotao didn't know was that the fat man's upward reaction alone had no weight at all.

But if you add the director of Quancheng Automobile Factory, the weight will be different.

Now the Huanghe automobile produced in Quancheng is famous throughout the country. Many big factories are waiting for the cars. If this delays one day's production, it will delay the country's construction.

With the director of the automobile factory coming forward, the higher-ups would naturally give it priority.
