After a busy day at the automobile company, Li Anlin slept very soundly that night. As usual, he was awakened from his dream by the sound of roosters crowing.
The chicken is a rooster raised by a neighbor. Although the houses in Fukang Shiliu Village are all independent two-story buildings, and most of the people living here are senior employees of the company, it is inevitable that some people still raise them at home.
There are a few chickens, and someone even started a small vegetable garden in front of and behind the house.
Compared to most people, their lives are undoubtedly extremely comfortable.
In the past few years, as more and more immigrants have started families and given birth, although companies have tried their best to solve the housing problem, the "housing shortage" has inevitably occurred, and the number of marriages has increased, and the "baby boom" has
"The emergence of housing shortage has made the housing shortage problem more prominent.
The urban scale of Nanhua has also expanded with the construction of new communities. In addition to the denser communities, a series of quiet small towns have appeared outside Nanhua City. These small towns all surround certain factories.
Or there are public carriages connecting to the main city, so transportation is not a problem.
For example, Fukang 16th Village, where Li Anlin lives, is two to three kilometers away from the main city of Nanhua. It takes about 20 minutes by public carriage. But thanks to the convenience of bicycles, it only takes ten minutes.
Arrive at the main city.
Bicycle - this is the most popular product at the moment. This kind of bicycle with front and rear wheels of the same size and using pneumatic tires was invented by Zhu Xianhai to solve the transportation problem of employees. Don't underestimate it as just a human-powered bicycle, but in order to manufacture it,
The company's multiple laboratories spent nearly a year conducting scientific and technological research.
This kind of bicycle draws on the model of the old-fashioned permanent bicycle of later generations. The main components such as the frame, front fork and chain are made of high-strength low-alloy manganese steel, which ensures the strength of the product and improves the processing accuracy. It also adopts nickel plating process and 6 kinds of
The variety of paints enables 10 indicators such as vehicle weight, riding lightness, component strength, gear bowl wear resistance, plating and paint quality, vehicle decoration and tire performance to meet strong and durable quality requirements.
Among all bicycles, the most popular one is not a light bike, but a heavy-duty bike. Its rated load is 170 kilograms. Because of its stable riding and large load capacity, it is known as the "pony that doesn't eat grass."
"Jiao" is very popular among people in cities, farms and mines.
Although very popular, bicycles are extremely expensive - a bicycle costs at least 150 yuan. Although very expensive, they are still very popular because they do not need to be waited on all day long like a horse.
, they need to be fed and watered, and of course there are no problems with diseases.
Buying a bicycle may seem expensive, but if you use it to transport goods, you can still get a lot of returns. After all, its transportation volume is almost equal to that of a pony, but it is definitely faster than a pony.
It is also more economical to use.
It is precisely because of this that many people buy bicycles. On the one hand, it is convenient for them to commute to and from get off work, on the other hand, they use their time after get off work to run transportation, and even work as peddlers to sell goods in nearby farms.
However, Li Anlin, a company technician, rides a light bike, which is lighter and more expensive. Of course, it is also a status symbol - it means that he does not need to use a bicycle to intercept people and carry goods.
Of course he doesn't need to use a bicycle to deliver goods. He returned from studying in the UK at the beginning of the year. As soon as he entered the company, he was a sixth-level employee, with a monthly salary of eighty yuan and sixteen salary per year. Not to mention the remuneration was absolutely generous, even just now
As soon as I entered the company, I was assigned a house, and it was a small single-family building.
That is to say, only technical personnel have such treatment. In fact, this year is a watershed. More and more Chinese technical personnel have graduated from school or returned from studying abroad. Soon they will replace the positions of some foreigners and become the technical backbone of Nanhua.
.
Now everything is just beginning...
As usual, after getting up and freshening up, Li Anlin briefly talked to his wife, then rode his bicycle straight to the company. Like all factories in Nanhua, the automatic bicycle company provides breakfast for employees, and meals are served on time at 5:30 every morning.
As a young man, Li Anlin likes the feeling of pedaling a bicycle, enjoying the breeze in the morning. Occasionally he presses the bicycle bell, and the crisp sound of the bicycle bell echoes in the empty streets...
"For breakfast, I always have to start work half an hour early..."
Li Anlin, who was riding a bicycle, muttered to himself that no boss would ever scheme against a worker, so he would naturally start working after breakfast.
The prescribed working time is 6:30, but for breakfast, everyone always has to start work half an hour earlier. This is true for workers, and technicians are no exception.
After having breakfast in the company's canteen, Li Anlin started his day's work as usual. The automatic vehicle researched by the Automobile Company established a year ago was a tram.
As early as two years ago, some experimenters installed electric motors on tramcars, trying to use electric motors to replace horses to drive the vehicles. In fact, the technology of old trams is not complicated, and the technology of the carriages is not much different from that of tramcars.
But after installing the motor, we faced many problems.
For example, the power supply problem, how to supply power while driving?
It is obviously not practical to use batteries. Batteries are expensive, have limited capacity, and more importantly, the charging time is too long.
"The key is the wires."
It is obviously not possible to drag a wire. At the test site of the Automobile Company, a wire is suspended in the air, and an iron ring at the end of a big 'braid' on the top of the yellow carriage is placed on the wire. That is used for power supply.
Coil.
"It is necessary to ensure that the intersection of the tram's contact wires does not lead to the wrong position..."
When Li Anlin was holding the intersection model and trying to switch between He He and He, the proving ground car and the tram started running "dang dang" again. In the past year and a half, from DC to DC motor, and then to tram control
System, each subsystem of the tram has been solved.
At present, the only limitation on the application of trams is the switching of contact wires at intersections. Although this technology is very complex, the technical difficulties are still being overcome bit by bit.
"Maybe we can learn from the train's switching system..."
With this thought in his mind, Li Anlin hurriedly stood up and took out an English book on railway tracks from the bookcase. Having studied in the UK, he could naturally understand English books, but it only took him a while to find the information he needed.
.
"Xu Tao, Xu Tao, come here. I have an idea. Maybe we can try this."
With the information in hand, he walked to the balcony and shouted to his colleagues at the testing site.
"What do you think we can do by raising the fork in the road to the sky..."
Pointing his finger in the air, Li Anlin suddenly stopped talking. He just stood on the balcony, looking eagerly into the air, with only astonishment in his eyes.
"What, turn the fork in the road..."
Xu Tao also understood the same. He raised his head and looked at the sky, with his mouth wide open and his head raised in stunned silence.
Most of the other people looked like this, and they even blinked, trying to determine whether the scene they saw was real or fake, or that they hadn't woken up yet in the morning.
