Professor Xu thought for a while, agreed with Zhu Xuefeng's suggestion, and asked again. "Do you want to use it on future cars first?"
"Well, compared to large trucks, this is more effective for cars and three-wheelers of this tonnage and speed. Your truck The experiment is successful. The next step is to make a car. It is a technical reserve. You don’t know that our factory director Yang has long wanted to have a car produced by his own factory.”
“Xiao Zhu, said. What are you planning to say bad things about me?”
Lao Yang, who was visiting with Lao Xia earlier, turned around and asked when he heard the conversation about himself later.
“You said you want to build a car, that’s right.”
Zhu Xuefeng replied with a smile, and Lao Yang regained his energy and stopped.
“You are saying that the rolling mill can now develop cars?”
“Then you have to ask Deputy Director Xia and Chief Engineer Xu. I have no idea in this regard.”
Lao Xia is very clear about the progress of the project and the follow-up plan for the exchange between Zhu Xuefeng and Professor Xu.
“This is what we think. After the truck project matures this year, the next target will be cars and passenger cars like Jeep.”
"Okay, Lao Xia, you are very efficient. We will try to take out the complete truck this year and participate in the selection of the General Logistics Department, and use our good things in key places."
Director Yang said about the new truck He is well aware of the design indicators and is very confident that he will win the task of General Logistics. If the small car project can also be carried out smoothly, the steel rolling mill in a few years will be very different.
"Lao Xia, when will your car project be approved? Do you have the confidence to come up with a mature product in three years?"
"This is a technical question, let Mr. Xu answer it "
Lao Xia recognized Professor Xu very much, both in terms of technology and professional research attitude, and they had cooperated with him for many years, so he rejected all opinions and abandoned the research institute. He appointed Professor Xu as the head of the vehicle factory years ago. The chief engineer caused some dissent in the steel rolling mill at the time. Later, Factory Director Yang strongly supported it. Deputy Director Jiang and Deputy Director Liu voted in favor, and it was successfully passed.
"What is Chief Engineer Xu's opinion?"
Director Yang looked at Professor Xu expectantly, making Professor Xu feel a little uncomfortable. Professor Xu was not used to face-to-face communication with leaders. The topic turned to myself, so I had to bite the bullet and express my position.
“I am currently writing a report on the small car project. In the second half of last year, classmate Xiao Zhu gave me a lot of suggestions, some of which I have not yet digested. If everything goes well, I should be able to apply for project approval in July or August.”< br>
This refers to the establishment of a factory project, not a research, that is, to complete the prototype vehicle, conduct various damage and environmental experiments, and verify the design ideas and product reliability. Lao Yang was overjoyed when he heard this. This is obviously better than My own requirements are much faster. It seems that while the truck project is being experimentally verified, Chief Engineer Xu has not fallen behind at all in car research.
"Great, but you still have to complete the verification and improvement of the truck. Is it too late? If you have any difficulties or requirements, just say it. If the branch factory cannot solve it, the rolling mill will come forward to ensure that your research is carried out normally. , Lao Xia, let me put it this way, no problem.”
"No problem, no problem. I warmly welcome the main factory to come forward to coordinate. Hahahaha. Now I have my back against a big tree to enjoy the shade. With the support of the main factory and the ministry, I can do things very happily. Mr. Xu, machine Don’t miss it, time will never come again. It’s a rare opportunity for Director Yang to express his support so happily. You have to take the initiative, support the leader’s work, and put the difficulties aside so that the leader can solve them in time, haha.”
Lao Xia was very happy and pointed out Professor Xu with a smile. Lao Yang was not angry at all. Seeing that Professor Xu seemed a little embarrassed, he expressed cheerfully.
"It's okay, just mention it if you have any. It doesn't matter if you can't think of everything for a while. I'll admit it when you think of coming to me."
"Leader, in fact, there are not many difficulties, most of them We can all overcome it, but there is a problem that needs to be solved by the factory. "
"You said, as long as I can do it, I will take it."
Lao Yang is deep in his heart. Even though he has a soldier's style, he can't change it after many years. Last year, he restrained himself a bit, but now he is happy and returns to his old ways.
"As you know, the vehicle factory has basically abandoned the research institute and carried out research and experiments independently. We are now short of technicians."
Professor Xu couldn't say anything. The research institute should be responsible for the products produced by the vehicle factory. The factory only cooperated with the experimental verification, but the truck project got off to a bad start.
Professor Xu led some technicians from the original motorcycle factory to set up his own stall without the research institute, and he succeeded. Moreover, Lao Xia took advantage of the situation and directly promoted him to the chief engineer. This was to work with the research institute So those people are fighting in a ring, and this is even more true now in the car project. They don't know anything at all. The vehicle factory does its own research, relying on his and Zhu Xuefeng's brainstorming to complete the overall design, and then other technicians implement various aspects. A detailed study of subsystems.
This is definitely inappropriate. It conflicts with the division of department functions of the main factory at that time, which will lead to structural overlap and waste of resources.
Factory Director Yang was silent for a moment. He couldn't think of any personnel disputes that an intellectual could think of. They were discussed with Secretary Chen at the time. There were no problems with other research directions, but the research direction of motorcycles and trucks. , there is indeed a problem, and he also knows what the key to the problem is, but now without the strong support of the secretary, some things are not easy to handle.
"Well, I understand your difficulties. This is a fact. We didn't think carefully at the time and the research was separated from production. It did cause a lot of trouble to Lao Xia. I apologize here and let me go back and think about it. Think about how to change this unfavorable situation.”
Although Professor Xu doesn’t know much about the factory’s personnel and functional adjustment procedures, he also knows that this kind of thing will be difficult to solve for a while, and he looks on with some understanding. Zhu Xuefeng, who was thinking, had an idea.
"Leader, can you do this? The technicians won't be able to solve it for a while. Let Comrade Xiao Zhu come here to help first. With him here, several technicians can't compare. As long as he is willing to come, I, the chief engineer You can leave everything to him, don’t be ridiculous, he is the real chief engineer who guides the direction of the project. Many of my ideas are actually his.”
Zhu Xuefeng was stunned, this intellectual always thinks about things. It's something missing. You can say this. He is not very interested in the follow-up research on passenger cars and is more interested in engineering vehicles. But Professor Xu is also his future uncle after all, so he has no choice but to stand up and express his position.
"Director Yang, don't listen to Professor Xu. You know how many times I can come to the factory a month and how much contribution I can make? But if there is a need here, I am willing to come and help. , don’t I still have an office? How about those two coming over to help me?”
Lao Yang was very satisfied with Zhu Xuefeng’s suggestion, which not only satisfied Professor Xu for the time being, but also did not put him at risk. The conflict intensified and he gave himself time to deal with it. Besides, if Zhu Xuefeng was willing to help, Lao Yang would fully agree. This project was more promising and he made an immediate decision.
"Then it's settled. I'll keep your office for you first. It's hard to say anything else. Your two assistants will come over tomorrow to report. Lao Xia, it's up to you. I have to arrange a place for them to work. This can’t be difficult for you.”
Lao Xia looked at Zhu Xuefeng and felt happy, “You silly boy, I finally came to my door.”
"Okay, of course no problem. This is a new office building and there are still several vacant rooms. I will make arrangements and implement them today."
The group looked at the sports car test site of a prototype truck on a large transport platform, and Lao Yang sighed with emotion.
“The conditions now are incomparable with those used to produce small pedals. We have such a large transportation test bench. Unknowingly, our steel rolling mill has made a lot of progress.”
Lao Xia looked at the spacious and bright transportation laboratory, "We still have to thank you for recruiting Chief Engineer Xu to us. This was developed by General Xu in conjunction with the Jingcheng Machinery Factory. Why is it the first large transportation experimental bench in China? , FAW doesn’t have one. In the future, our prototype vehicles can be used for simulated transportation experiments, which can greatly shorten the experimental cycle.” It has yielded great results, good, very good. I think we should sort out the information and report it as a technological breakthrough. Maybe the vehicle manufacturer will only get the Technology Progress Award this year."
Lao Yang. I am very excited. I have gained a lot today. Regardless of whether Lao Xia Le is happy or not, he will come over and have a look. This transport platform is also an unexpected surprise. He really didn't know it.
Professor Xu is not very interested in the leader's excitement. In his mind, it is just a larger transport platform with no high technical content. It is impossible to submit it to the Technology Progress Award. It is too shabby. , if the turning assist and ABS technology matures, we can try them out. This is an innovation that fills the gap, and at the same time it has great practical significance for the automobile industry.
As for Zhu Xuefeng, this was also one of his original plans. Now that a large number of factories have been launched in Xiangjiang, he has too many ideas to implement and needs to turn too many ideas into drawings. It is not advisable to build things behind closed doors. , there are very few people whom I can ask for advice, and Professor Xu happens to be one of them.
Lifting and transfer at the wharf, forklifts, large engines, heavy-duty motorcycles, motorboats, yachts, household appliances... Human energy is limited, and rational use of resources is a must.
Zhou Wenwen and Lou Xiao'e were not happy with the leaders of the research institute. They asked Zhu Xuefeng several times to help find a solution or to go back to the technical department directly. Besides, the two of them could also improve the appearance of the product. To implement his ideas, we simply come together. Of course, there are many other ideas, so we have to come up one by one.
Zhu Xuefeng has decided that in the next period of time, on the basis of completing his studies, he will focus his main energy on technical research. This is his greatest advantage. The accumulation of previous lives cannot be wasted. Although He had thought about not participating anymore, but the facts told him that this was the most precious wealth.
After walking around the vehicle factory, Lao Yang was very satisfied. Lao Xia was very good at production management. The atmosphere in the entire vehicle factory was very good. Everyone had a sincere sense of mission and raced against time to contribute more to the country.
“Lao Xia, I won’t say any more, I must support Chief Engineer Xu and complete the truck project as soon as possible. I’m looking forward to it, haha, waiting for our Red Star Trucks to hire people on all fronts in the motherland. The day comes early and the burden is heavy, but I believe that under your leadership, we will deliver an answer that satisfies everyone." Lao Yang held Lao Xia's hand with sincerity in his eyes, and Lao Xia also put it away. A joke, but a serious expression.
"Please rest assured, organize and ensure that the task is completed."
Let go of your hand and whisper, "I won't leave you to eat dinner in the factory. I have to curry favor with that boy, and he just happened to come to my door. He didn’t even go to my house to wish me a happy New Year, haha.”
Old Yang also smiled and looked at the aluminum alloy in the distance. Zhu Xuefeng and Professor Xu glanced at the parts.
"Watch it, don't lose it. Return it to me when the time comes. He will be indispensable here at the Materials Research Institute."
What Zhu Xuefeng was looking at was the engine casing for the motorcycle. After replacing the new five-axis machine tool, the accuracy has indeed been greatly improved, which is much higher than the original accuracy, and the power of the engine has also been slightly improved.
“It’s amazing that the precision of domestic machine tools can reach this level. There is hope for many parts that require precision processing. Professor Xu, I have an idea. Do you want to hear if it is possible...”
Zhu Xuefeng, who was focused on the production of aluminum engines, pulled Professor Xu into a chat and forgot that the leaders had already completed the inspection. Fortunately, Director Ma came over in time to remind him.
"Xiao Feng, you said, I can try it. Theoretically speaking, it should be very possible. Let's try it when we find a chance. Don't you want to come over too? Let's experiment together."
Look When Zhu Xuefeng was called away, Professor Xu thought for a while before pursuing him.
"Well, let's talk tomorrow."
Not to mention that Zhu Xuefeng followed Lao Xia home obediently, attended a family dinner, and went home red-faced when asked by the couple. .
Not long after arriving at No. 95 Courtyard, a jeep arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, followed closely by Zhu Xuefeng, who followed him out of the courtyard with a surprised look on his face.
"You mean, you're going to see the leader now? It's already past nine o'clock?"
"You kid, stop talking nonsense. If you don't ask, try not to speak. , listen honestly.
"Oh, aren't you going too? If anything I say is inappropriate, remember to remind me. "
Uncle Kong shook his head, "I won't go in. I'll wait for you outside. Leader Hao may accompany you in, or you may go in by yourself. Bring your weapon. Leave it to me for safekeeping first, and then give it to you when you come out. "
Zhu Xuefeng thought for a while, then took out the pistol and handed it over. He didn't bother to explain why he left it at home, so he simply took it out from the space.
It’s really uncomfortable to ride in a Jeep in the winter. Most of the Jeeps at this time are confiscated and in disrepair. There are no replacement parts. The Jeep leaks air everywhere. According to Uncle Kong’s request, I dress smartly and don’t wear thick cotton clothes outside. Indeed It's a bit cold.
Zhu Xuefeng rubbed his hands. He had sold his down jacket for a huge price, but he had never worn it. It was really too much. He had to let Wu Qianqian sell some of it domestically, so he could justifiably buy a few pieces to give away.
Uncle Kong didn’t know that Zhu Xuefeng’s mind would be full of wild thoughts, and he was still whispering instructions to pay attention to, such as not to look around, not to walk around, etc.
"Leader, here we are."
Looking at the familiar door, future generations often pass by it. Of course, they are not qualified to enter. I didn't expect that after reviving my life for a while, I would have the opportunity to step into this mysterious place. place.
At the door were two upright sentries, full of energy and solemn expressions. They took the documents of the three people and checked them carefully before the jeep entered the door. There was another jeep parked not far away. I heard people shouting outside. There was a sound of cars, the concierge was pushed open, and a tall figure walked out, it was Leader Hao.
"Leader Hao came earlier than us. Let's go there. You can follow him later. The driver and I will wait for you at the concierge."
Zhu Xuefeng followed Uncle Kong out of the car, including the driver. Inside, we went to the concierge together.
Leader Hao pointed to the concierge. Uncle Kong nodded and took the driver in to avoid the cold without saying a word.
"Xiao Zhu, come with me."
Following Hao's leader, they headed northwest, passed through several verandas and small gardens, entered the inner courtyard, and came to an ancient wooden building.
The two were inspected again and then taken to a side room.
“Would you like some water?”
“No, Xiao Sun, you are busy with your business, we will wait here.”
“Okay, I’ll give it to you later. I’m here to call you, don’t move around randomly.”
Leader Hao nodded without saying anything. He glanced at Zhu Xuefeng, who also nodded to indicate that he understood. The receptionist left with a smile. After a while, he heard someone leaving from the lobby. , the person who reported it should have left.
Sure enough, the receptionist Xiao Sun came over to inform.
"The leader is free now and in good spirits. Leader Hao, please bring people in and control the time to no more than fifteen minutes."
"Understood." Leader Hao spoke very concisely. Following the receptionist with Zhu Xuefeng, when they saw the door, another figure emerged from the darkness and stopped the two of them.
"Leader Hao, I'm offended." He checked the two people again before stepping aside.
Unexpectedly, this sturdy plainclothes man was still a master. Zhu Xuefeng could clearly feel his level. He should be comparable to Senior Brother Bai, and much higher than the instructors under Uncle Kong. He could vaguely sense that there were several others nearby. Hidden, Zhu Xuefeng did not dare to investigate and followed Leader Hao obediently.
"Chief, we have brought it."
An old man is already waiting in the room. He should be in his sixties. The first impression that gives people is his eyes, which are thick and black. There is a pair of bright eyes staring at you under his eyebrows, and you will feel that you have nowhere to hide in his eyes.
"Xiao Hao, this is the young man, he is very energetic."
The old man smiled and looked at Zhu Xuefeng behind Leader Hao, "Stand over here and let me see, what a talented man he is. Ah."
Zhu Xuefeng took a step forward and looked up at the great man, "Hello, Chief."
The old man looked a little thin, with a very kind face and a pair of black eyes looking directly into Zhu Xuefeng's eyes. .
“Yes, yes, Zhu Xuefeng, right? I have heard your name before, but I didn’t expect that this “good boy” would abduct you by accident.”
“ Chief, we didn't mean it..." Leader Hao still wanted to explain, but the old man waved his hand, "I understand. Didn't you make it clear the day before yesterday? There is no need to explain anymore."
He turned to Zhu Xuefeng, "Xiao. Comrade Zhu, your story is legendary. This mission was a success, exceeding our expectations and making a great contribution.”
"Chief, this is what I should do."
"Well, I have heard Director Hao's introduction. At your young age, you are not only knowledgeable, but also good at martial arts. Do you mind telling me."
