Chapter 1206: Frog in the Well

Machinery Factory

After Yang Xiaotao arrived, he first went to the workshop to check the progress of the work of each factory.

Because the first branch factory undertook part of the task, and the second branch factory also helped a little, the work of the main factory was not as intense as before.

But the amount of tasks did not decrease much.

Among them, more people thought about producing more and earning more foreign exchange.

In this regard, the machinery factory had no objection.

This kind of thing is the general trend, and individuals must obey the will of the collective.

After looking at each workshop, the first workshop was busy making rice cookers. As for the manufacture of pressure cookers, it has been reduced by four-fifths, and the freed up manpower and material resources are fully guaranteed to ensure the production of rice cookers.

For this reason, the amount of tasks received by the various factories that cooperated with the supply has doubled.

In order to express gratitude, the machinery factory naturally has to take out some things as welfare.

It is precisely with the support of this kind of righteousness and interests that the enthusiasm of each factory has been improved and the high output of rice cookers has been guaranteed.

The same is true for other workshops. Now the engine is divided into three gears, Red Star engine, Double Star engine, and the newly made 8V-65 eight-cylinder engine.

Originally, Liu Huaimin wanted to let Mr. Huang name the engine, but Mr. Huang waved his hand and refused.

In the end, the naming right was given to Yang Xiaotao, and everyone had no objection.

After all, this was designed by Yang Xiaotao himself, and he was much better at naming than the unreliable Director Yang.

Yang Xiaotao did not give it a Chinese name, but only gave it a model name. In his words, this engine will be used in various fields in the future. For example, armored vehicles can be called 8V-65A eight-cylinder engines.

Like large trucks, it is 8V-65B eight-cylinder engines.

As for the others, they can also be compiled according to this rule.

Rather than limiting it to one name, it is better to form a series.

Everyone thought it made sense and agreed to this naming method.

Now the most produced in the third workshop is the Doublestar engine.

As for the newly developed 8V-65 eight-cylinder engine, there is only one line for the time being.

After all, the design of the armored vehicle has not been completed yet.

In the fourth workshop, Yang Xiaotao watched the two excavators being debugged intensively.

During this period, the machinery factory has sent six forklifts and two excavators to Yanzhou.

After these two are sent, the machinery factory will stop the production of forklifts and excavators and put the focus on tricycles again.

Yang Xiaotao also heard that the Shanghai Automobile Factory in the south is producing tricycles.

Speaking of this, Yang Xiaotao is still thinking about motorcycles, which have not started yet.

There are too many things to do. After this period of busyness, I can also make a motorcycle.

Yang Xiaotao looked around and returned to the office.

Looking at the calendar on the wall, it is already the end of April. According to the plan, the design of the armored vehicle should be completed in May, and then it will take a month to manufacture.

Try to make a prototype in June and then test it.

If everything goes well, it will be handed in around July.

At this time, in the R&D department of the machinery factory, a scene that has often happened recently was staged again.

On the side, Pang Guo held the jar in both hands and looked at the two people arguing in front with interest.

Or rather, two groups of people.

On one side, Dai Qinggang led a few people, and on the other side, Huang Han led a few people.

Then, there were a few people watching the excitement.

The three groups of people were the dozen people seconded from the Third Ministry of Machine Building.

At this time, because of the different design concepts of the armored vehicle, the three groups of people quarreled when they met.

The most intense ones were the two groups represented by Dai and Huang.

Dai Qinggang represented the priority of protection.

Huang represented the priority of speed.

The remaining two or three people insisted on adding powerful attack power.

Of course, this attack power was targeted by the other two groups as soon as it was brought up.

That was an armored transport vehicle, not a tank.

What rifled gun?

But the ideological dispute was like this. Even the fewest people would mutter a few words, "The truth is in the hands of a few people", to boost their confidence.

"Pang Gong, why don't you go up and persuade them?"

"It's meaningless to keep quarreling like this."

Several people who were watching the excitement came up to Pang Gong, because Zhang Guanyu went to the second factory to help. Among the three engineers, Chang Mingjie became the director of the second workshop, and Chen Bin also went to the second factory. Now only Pang Guo was in charge of the work of the R&D department.

"Persuade? Do you understand armored vehicles?"

Pang Guo just replied lightly, and everyone lowered their heads and kept silent.

There was no way, they didn't understand armored vehicles. If they did, they would have joined one side and quarreled.

"Then do they understand?"

Someone suddenly whispered back.

This made Pang Guo and others stunned, and then they all laughed.

If they really understood, would there be so many quarrels?

"They should, more or less understand."

Pang Guo said tentatively, and finally doubted in his heart.

In fact, everyone is the same. There is no precedent in China, and it is estimated that no armored vehicle has ever been seen.

Seeing the quarrel on the other side escalate, Pang Guo drank a sip of water and said in a voice that did not lower its voice, "Let them quarrel. The mission will not be completed by then, haha."

Both parties quarreling could hear it.

Obviously, this last haha ​​was extremely lethal.

Dai Qinggang and Huang Han glanced at the R&D staff watching the excitement nearby, then looked at each other, and both thought of the consequences of not being able to complete the mission.

Others have already made the engine. If they are still arguing here and delay the mission in the end, I guess no one can escape.

"Humph!"

"Since none of us can convince each other, why don't we just make a design each and let the superiors choose."

Dai Qinggang finally suggested, and Huang Han nodded, "That's exactly what I want to say."

So, the originally tense atmosphere immediately eased, and everyone returned to their desks and began to design according to their own ideas.

Well, three groups of people, three ideas, and three design drawings.

Pang Guo looked at the three busy places and was a little speechless.

If this is handed in, what kind of experiment will be done?

Could it be that three engines are needed for experiment?

He shook his head helplessly, this matter is not his business.

Anyway, the engine has been made, and they don't have any tasks for a while, so they might as well go to help the comrades in Quancheng Automobile Factory.

Compared with the armored vehicle design team with many opinions and disputes, the design atmosphere in Quancheng is very harmonious.

Because everyone knows what they need.

Heavy trucks, the kind that can pull a lot of cargo.

According to their estimation, a new heavy-duty truck with an 800-horsepower engine can match two or three Yellow River heavy-duty trucks.

To achieve this design goal, everyone's design ideas are rich and bold.

First of all, the car must be big.

And big means heavy.

Looking at the preliminary weight marked on the drawing, the front of the car alone weighs more than two tons, which is still a preliminary estimate.

If the whole set is completed, the estimated weight is equivalent to three Yellow River heavy-duty trucks.

When Pang Guo saw this design, his first thought was, can it run on domestic roads?

And such a long carriage can hold three tricycles, what is it for?

Transport tricycles?

And why is the front of the car so big?

Is it for people to live in it?

There is nothing he dares to think of when he has such a whimsical idea!

However, he likes it.

Soon, Pang Guo and a group of people joined the design, and from time to time, they put forward the ideas they most desired in their hearts. In the sparks of this collision of ideas, a heavy truck with epoch-making significance slowly surfaced.

This heavy truck, which later became a classic, and its subsequent derivative series have been active in the construction of the motherland.

Even the outstanding design was made into a screen by a later director and became the prototype of the Chinese car man.

Of course, these are all things that happened many years later. The current designers can't imagine what kind of storm their bold design style will cause.

And Yang Xiaotao didn't know about this.

Now, in addition to going to the workshop and solving problems, he is in the office, looking at the notebook, and sorting the numbers according to the plan.

On the other side, Chen Gong, on behalf of the machinery factory, is meeting the new employees.

These people come from different communities, but they are more or less related to the machinery factory.

Just like Yang Xiaotao and the courtyard.

Looking around, there are more than two hundred people.

These people may not seem like a lot, but if they are sent to Northwest Factory No. 2, they will definitely cause a quantitative change.

Behind Chen Gong are the directors of the various street offices and local leaders who participated in this event.

Among them, Director Wang and the middle-aged leaders are the center, and they have become the leaders of the crowd.

"Comrades."

Chen Gong shouted loudly, "The machinery factory has a glorious past and a bright future."

"And this honor requires every worker in the machinery factory to maintain it with their lives. It requires every worker who will become a worker in the machinery factory to remember it."

"Next, I hope everyone can abide by the discipline of the machinery factory, work hard to improve themselves, and polish themselves."

"Make yourself a screw, press it wherever it is needed, shine and illuminate the road of revolution."

"Can you do it?"

"Yes!"

The young people of seventeen or eighteen, full of blood and vigor, naturally cannot stand the excitement. Under Chen Gong's encouragement, they all screamed.

"I hope that everyone present here can pass the test of the machinery factory."

"When the time comes, let me call you, comrade worker."

Clap, clap, clap

There was applause, and then someone began to call the roll.

Then the people who were called out lined up and were led by people arranged by the machinery factory.

These people are basically the elite backbones of the third and fourth workshops. Each of them takes four or five people to teach relevant operating skills.

Of course, this kind of "master-apprentice" behavior is not free. As long as the apprentices who are finally brought out pass the assessment and become qualified workers, each person will increase the welfare of five yuan.

This is not a small number. As long as five people are brought out, it is equivalent to more than half a month's salary.

Afterwards, under the leadership of the so-called master, the crowd did not go directly to the workshop, but lined up to the memorial hall to learn about the honor of the machinery factory.

In the team, Yan Jiefang followed Wang Jun and walked in the corridor of the memorial hall.

That's right, it was Wang Jun, the eldest son of Wang Dashan, who took Yan Jiefang.

Over the years, Wang Jun has learned the true teachings from Zhou Kui. Whether it is manufacturing tractor parts or installation capabilities, he is one of the best.

Zhou Kui also arranged for him to take an apprentice this time.

In this way, Yan Jiefang has to call Zhou Kui "Master" when he sees him.

Yan Jiefang has no psychological burden at all. Everyone can see that Zhou Kui's family is well-off in the courtyard. Besides, he has a close relationship with Yang Xiaotao, so this can only be a good thing.

"Brother Jun, are these all made by Brother Tao?"

Looking at the tractors, rice cookers and other things placed in the corridor, the clear voice of the propagandist Liu Lixue can be heard in my ears. Every time she introduces one, it can cause cheers from the crowd.

Especially the hundreds of millions of foreign exchange, which caused a huge sensation in the crowd.

If it weren't for the scolding of the master leading the team, it would have exploded long ago.

"Yes, it's Brother Tao."

Wang Jun's eyes were full of admiration.

The same is true for Yan Jiefang.

However, compared with Wang Jun's admiration, Yan Jiefang is more fortunate.

If you don't enter the machinery factory and don't experience it yourself, you don't know how capable Yang Xiaotao is, and how terrifying his strength is.

If you don't leave the courtyard, you will never know how broad the sky is, and you will always be a frog in the courtyard.
