After pondering for a moment, Li Weidong thought of what knowledge he should talk about.
Two days ago, he read a book "The Evolutionary History of the Gil Series Trucks" written by an engineer from the "Likhachev" Automobile Plant in the library.
Most of the trucks in the fleet are Su Guojier 150.
Just the right thing to show off.
"Comrades are all experienced drivers. I won't go into details about the small problems of daily driving. Next, I will explain the shortcomings of the Gil 150 heavy-duty truck. First..."
Before he could finish speaking, the old drivers became impatient.
"It doesn't matter if it's a defect or not, as long as the truck can run."
"That's right, this is an expert from the FAW plant, is this the level?"
"The two large jars of highland barley wine sent by our Captain Niu were in vain. They were obtained from fellow herdsmen with national food stamps. Deputy Factory Director Li asked for them several times, but the Captain was reluctant to give them to him."
...
Everyone doesn’t care about the flaws of the Gill 150.
It's not that I don't care, it's that I can't help it.
Who makes our own Jiefang trucks have low output?
The troops are not enough, and no matter what happens, the steel rolling mill will not be able to turn around.
Is it useful if you keep nagging about something that you can't help?
Therefore, the experienced drivers are very disappointed.
Even Niu Meng's big black and bright eyes dimmed.
This young man can be said to be the most handsome man in the capital, and he is also a so-called expert. Why is he so unrealistic?
It's really like horse manure with a shiny surface - but a bag of chaff inside.
By hiring such an expert who only knows how to talk, my brother will be blinded and may even be criticized.
...
But soon, I heard Li Weidong continue to preach:
“The biggest drawback of the Gill 150 is that the water tank is prone to boiling.
This is not a design flaw.
But because the Gil 150 was developed for the Soviet Union.
Suzhou is located in a cold zone with relatively low temperatures.
The temperature in most places in our country is higher than that in the Soviet Union.
When a truck comes to our place, it will inevitably be acclimatized.
To solve this problem, we can open 6 vents on the water tank cover.
The same operation can be done on the chassis covers on the left and right sides;
At the same time, the water jacket water distribution pipe also needs to be replaced, and the water outlet hole on the cylinder head needs to be drilled.
We can also replace the three-blade fan of Gill 150 with a six-blade one.
The fitter masters and welder masters in our steel rolling mill can handle these modifications.
After this series of modifications, the water tank boiling situation will no longer occur."
...
After hearing Li Weidong's water tank modification method, the expressions of the veteran drivers gradually changed.
Hey, this expert seems to have some real skills.
The Gil 150 truck is durable and has a large load capacity, and is loved by experienced drivers.
The disadvantage is that the water tank is too easy to boil.
When the weather is hot, if you run for more than ten kilometers continuously with a heavy load, you can see white water vapor coming out of the front of the car.
Drivers had to stop their cars and sit on the side of the road helplessly waiting for the water temperature to drop.
Delaying time is a trivial matter. After all, the factory leaders dare not complain about the driver being late.
If you neglect it, you will be in big trouble.
At worst, the water tank is burned out, and at worst, the engine burps.
When you introduce me, you will inevitably get a big punishment on your back.
If you are labeled as maliciously damaging state property, you may be expelled.
Niu Meng also took out a black notebook from the canvas bag and recorded it in Juanxiu's handwriting.
The veteran drivers no longer dare to look down on Li Weidong, and their expressions are extremely serious.
There was a thin, dark man who had the cigarette burning to the end between his fingers. He didn't even know it. He didn't wake up until his hand was burned, but he just sucked on it and didn't dare to make a sound.
...
At this time, outside the team lounge.
A young man, also wearing a gray tunic suit and carrying a canvas bag, hurried over from outside.
He has a delicate face, his short hair is stained with frost, and he wears a pair of glasses as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle on the bridge of his nose.
Although he was anxious, he still had a confident smile on his face.
Arriving outside the lounge, Li Zheng stopped and took a breath.
When he opened the cotton curtain and saw someone giving a lecture inside, he was immediately stunned.
"Did you go to the wrong place?"
Li Zheng stepped back and looked at the nameplate nailed to the wall.
"The rolling mill team lounge is the place Captain Niu agreed to do."
Li Zheng pinched the center of his eyebrows, and an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
"Did Captain Niu also invite comrades from other automobile factories to give lectures? Forget it, go in and listen to what this expert has to say."
There are too few colleagues engaged in automobile design in this era. It is difficult to meet one, and Li Zheng naturally wants to steal his teacher.
When he entered the lounge, there was no room left, and he didn't want to stand with those old smokers, so he could only squat at the door.
After just hearing a few sentences, Li Zheng's eyes burst out with a light.
This young man is quite capable. He even knows the information that I found out through my friends in Su.
"It looks a bit unfamiliar. Could it be that he is an engineer from the Jiefang Factory?"
After talking about the defects and modification methods of the Gil 150 for two more times, Li Weidong felt a little dry and stopped.
——I drank too much chicken soup in the morning, and oil and water rushed from my stomach to my throat, making my throat feel salty.
The veteran drivers who were enjoying listening to it were no longer willing.
"Expert Li, tell me how to modify the intake and exhaust manifolds."
"As a car expert, the modification method is really unbelievable, but when you think about it, it makes sense. I admire it, I admire it."
...
When Li Weidong heard the veteran drivers calling him "expert", he thought it was a compliment among comrades, so he didn't pay attention.
After all, his level has reached the expert level, and veteran drivers can't praise him too much.
My throat was dry and itchy, and I couldn't help but "cough" twice.
Niu Meng was very discerning and said with a smile: "Teacher, just wait, I will pour you a glass of boiling water."
"Thanks."
Niu Mengmeng took the enamel jar and ran to the next door.
When she walked to the door, she saw Li Zheng blocking the way, and said angrily: "Get out of the way, the teacher is pressed for time, and the lecture has been delayed. Can you afford the responsibility?"
Being scolded by the pretty little girl, Li Zheng, who had always been aloof and arrogant, didn't even get angry and stepped aside calmly.
He just felt like crying but had no tears: "I am also an expert, and my surname is Li, why don't I get this kind of treatment?"
After drinking a few sips of tea, his dry throat felt much better, and Li Weidong continued to lecture.
"Let me explain below how to reinforce the cross beams of the Gil 150 chassis. Everyone knows that the stronger the chassis, the greater the load capacity. However, you cannot just weld a channel steel to the cross beams. The truck chassis is divided into driving system, transmission system
There are four aspects: system, braking system and steering system. Changing any one aspect will affect other aspects, so we must be cautious when reinforcing the chassis beam.
I have designed a reinforcement plan..."
Li Weidong turned around as he was talking, only to find that there was no blackboard on the wall.
I forgot, this is a lounge, not a classroom.
"Well, since there is no blackboard and chalk, I will skip this. Let's go on."
Even Chief Engineer Liu of the FAW Plant did not dare to change the truck chassis easily.
This little engineer actually claimed to have designed a plan.
How could this make Li Zheng not excited?
Li Zheng, who was squatting at the door, was waiting to steal the teacher. When he heard this, he quickly stood up and raised his hands: "Teacher, I have paper and pen here. You can do whatever you want."
Li Weidong frowned. He had indeed designed the reinforcement plan for the beam, but it was just too time-consuming.
Just when I was trying to be lazy, I saw this young driver who was well-dressed and good-looking, but he didn’t have any eyesight. He was probably just a jerk.
Seeing the old driver's eyes turned red, he could only ask Niu Meng to bring the paper and pen over and explain while drawing.
"The Gill 150 uses the layout of the drive axle of the unmass-produced GAZ 33. The entire vehicle uses a non-through drive axle, 5 drive shafts, and the main reduction ratio of the drive axle is 6.67. If it is changed, we can..."
The pen was sent out, and Li Zheng took out a pencil stub from the canvas bag and held a notebook to record it.
It's impossible to squat there, the writing speed is too slow.
He simply sat down on the ground.
...
At this moment, the logistics department of the steel rolling mill.
"Old Niu, your fleet's gasoline consumption has exceeded the standard again this month."
"What can I do? It's like the truck is drinking oil when it's cold. I can't let the drivers push the truck and run away."
"Hey, you guys are really good at pushing a truck, I will definitely apply for a special job allowance for you."
"Go away, give me the gas ticket. Engineers from the FAW plant are here to explain trucks to the drivers today. I have to go back and listen."
Team leader Niu Yong raised his wrist and his eyes suddenly widened: "It's late, it's late, it's almost nine o'clock. It's all your fault, Old Guo, for dragging your feet like a girl!"
He stretched out his arm, snatched the gas coupon from Director Guo of the Logistics Department, and rushed out in large strides.
Director Guo looked at the furious figure and shook his head with a wry smile: "This old cow still has such a bad temper. It is estimated that only his sister in the whole factory can control him."
