Chapter 49 Hearing is false, seeing is believing
It is difficult for those who don’t know it, but it is not difficult for those who can.
The 1:5 clay model is really nothing to Jiang Hui.
With all the materials prepared and Chen Chenxing and others helping, the progress was rapid.
The internal frame is made of wood and the outside is covered with putty.
After a week, it was already in shape.
"Okay! Very good!"
"Xiao Jiang, I will invite the factory director and deputy factory directors to come over and visit our new generation BJ212 clay model later. Let’s really feel its charm.”
Chen Qi walked around the clay model several times with a smile on his face.
This was the first time he saw a real clay model of a car, and it was much more impactful than the sketch.
"This is not a 1:1 model, and there is no way to feel the dimensions in all aspects more strongly."
"According to the preliminary design, the body size of the new generation BJ212 is 4080mm long × 1840mm wide × 1870mm high , with a wheelbase of 2300mm. ”
“Compared with the current model, the new model has increased body length and width, which can provide passengers with a better riding comfort experience. ”
"In the next step of the 1:1 clay model, we will further clarify the interior design in the model, so that everyone can have the feeling of seeing a real car."
Jiang Hui knows Chen Qi I am very interested in the clay model, so I naturally want to take this opportunity to explain it well.
Although there is a factory director above Chen Qi, he has the final say on design and technical issues.
Factory directors generally rarely interfere directly.
As for the other deputy directors, although they are at the same level as the chief engineer and are considered deputy department level, their rankings in the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant are lower than that of the chief engineer.
So basically as long as Chen Qi is satisfied, he has passed the factory assessment.
“I think there is nothing wrong with this appearance. I will ask the factory director and others to come over and take a look now.”
Chen Qi is also very fickle in doing things and does what he says.
After saying this, I personally invited the factory director Zheng Haiming and others to come and visit.
Although Chen Qi is specifically responsible for the BJ212 upgrade project, Zheng Haiming and several other deputy factory directors are actually very concerned about it.
There was a lot of excitement before, but because it was still on paper, I don’t know if it will be successful in the end.
So everyone is too lazy to get involved without getting involved, so as not to cause trouble.
But the situation is different now. People have made clay models, and you can directly see the appearance.
Then everyone heard that the Capital Gear Factory had already developed 4MT, which solved the problem of upgrading a very critical component.
So this time Chen Qi invited everyone to put down their work and come to the clay model making room of the design office.
“The appearance of this car is very similar to our current BJ212, and the relationship between them can be seen at a glance.”
“But the overall feeling seems to have improved a lot, with that Reborn.”
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this appearance.”
As soon as Zheng Haiming saw the clay model, his eyes immediately lit up.
Everyone has sharp eyes. Whether a car looks good or not, you can basically tell the answer at a glance.
In later generations, this shape may be ordinary.
But for Huaxia in 1978, it was absolutely a perfect product, fully integrating the classic elements of the old era and the changes of the new era. Even if Zheng Haiming is not a particularly professional automotive technician, he can still feel its benefits.
"Director, our project team will further produce a 1:1 real car model based on this model."
"At that time, I will prepare to invite the First Machinery Department Come and visit with the leaders of the relevant departments to let everyone know that we are steadily advancing the BJ212 upgrade project and will implement the instructions of the superior departments without compromise.”
Although Zheng Haiming knew this plan, he would definitely do it. He was satisfied, but after all, he had never seen it before. Now Chen Qi felt more confident.
Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant has been complained by many departments in recent years, and now it can finally vent its anger.
At that time, maybe the new generation BJ212 can also earn foreign exchange for China’s exports and constantly refresh everyone’s understanding.
"How long does it take to make a 1:1 model?"
Zheng Haiming will definitely not object to inviting superiors to visit.
But he was not sure when would be the appropriate time to invite.
If the waiting time is too long, there is no need to wait. You can also visit the 1:5 clay model first.
"If it's faster, within a month, it won't be much slower."
"After all, our design plan has been basically finalized, we just have to make it."
"But Xiao Jiang will have to work hard during this time. "
Chen Qi motioned Jiang Hui to come to him, introduced him to Zheng Haiming, and let Zheng Haiming know that Jiang Hui was the biggest contributor to this matter.
"Xiaojiang, the next month will be hard for you. If there is anything that needs coordination within the factory, you can boldly bring it up."
Zheng Haiming originally did not have particularly high expectations for the BJ212 upgrade project team. After all, he was aware of the level of the people in the design department and technical department in the factory.
Unexpectedly, various related good news emerged one after another during this period, but it constantly refreshed his knowledge.
Right now, even the impactful appearance sketch and 1:5 clay model have been produced.
It seems that the BJ212 upgrade project is likely to succeed.
In this case, his attitude naturally began to change.
"Thank you to the factory director. Mr. Chen, Director Lu, and Director Liang have helped solve all kinds of difficulties."
"Next, I will just roll up my sleeves and work hard with Professor Zhu."
I will register with Zheng Haiming today. If I need anything in the future, I will make a request.
“This cooperation between our factory and the Capital Institute of Technology will be regarded as a successful example in the ministry in the future.”
“Professor Zhu, I have to trouble you a lot about the project. Thank you for your trouble.”
Jiang Hui took the initiative to mention Zhu Jianhui, and Zheng Haiming naturally couldn't pretend that he hadn't seen it.
So I turned around and chatted with Zhu Jiansheng next to me.
“Our school used to be best at armored vehicles and tanks, with relatively few achievements in passenger cars.”
“This time we can follow the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant to implement our scientific research results. Going to the product is also a win-win situation.”
Although Zhu Jiansheng holds the title of deputy chief engineer and deputy director of the project team office in the factory, he definitely represents the Capital Institute of Technology at this time.
As one of the Seven National Defense Schools, the Capital Institute of Technology is considered a vice-ministerial school, half a level higher than the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant.
Zhu Jiansheng naturally cannot lose the school’s face.
