"Why does it look so decent to me? The shield machine in my impression is carved from the same mold." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "At least on the surface, these cutterheads are very similar."
"We have almost designed the general structure." The person in charge said with a smile: "If you insist on saying that it is a shield machine, I will not object, because it is indeed no different from a shield machine."
"What difference can there be? I just feel the same."
The person in charge sighed and said: "The key to this kind of heavy machine is not its appearance. The key is whether it can run smoothly and last long."
"What? Can't it work for a long time?"
The person in charge nodded: "We are not responsible for any excavation work now, and we cannot work continuously for more than eight hours without load."
"The most important thing is that the hardness of these cutterheads on the surface is definitely not up to par. There is absolutely no problem digging into the soil, but if it encounters those hard rocks, it will definitely get stuck."
"Don't worry, you can take your time." Jiang Hua smiled and comforted: "The most difficult time is to start from scratch. Now that we have a model machine, we can just optimize it directly in the future. Optimization is much simpler than designing from scratch.
Bar."
"We are already optimizing it. I have to say that our shield machine has advantages."
Jiang Hua smiled and asked, "What's the benefit?"
"That's because there is so much room for optimization." The person in charge said self-deprecatingly: "Everything needs improvement. Every day I just look at the drawings and I can find areas that can be improved, which makes every working day very fulfilling for me.
.”
"Your optimistic attitude is very good. To do your job, you have to be more optimistic and confident." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "As long as you solve a little bit today and a little bit tomorrow, all the troubles will be solved one day. At that time
It was a success.”
The person in charge smiled and said: "I can only encourage myself in this way now. There is no other way anyway."
Jiang Hua patted him on the shoulder: "Aren't you solving solutions every day? You have to be patient, and so am I. Our national infrastructure has just begun, and it will take some time for the shield machine to be used on a large scale."
"Boss, why do you have time to come to our place today?"
"Just take a stroll." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "I just went to the materials research team. They said they would research special alloys for you. I thought your project had made great progress."
"That's what happened. Director Zheng coordinated it." The person in charge said with a wry smile: "If the alloy of the blade reaches the standard, I want to take this thing into the mountains to experiment and improve it while experimenting."
"There is no need to rush into materials research." Jiang Hua shook his head: "It's best to just let nature take its course. No material can be polished over time unless some metaphysical factors are involved."
The person in charge asked in confusion: "What are metaphysical factors?"
"It means God's blessing, Bodhisattva's empowerment or ancestor's dream."
The person in charge laughed loudly: "Then if you say so, how about I go to Yonghe Temple to burn incense and make a great wish during the Chinese New Year?"
Jiang Hua covered his mouth: "Don't say this nonsense. Yonghe Temple is said to be quite efficacious, but there is a huge price to pay for the efficacies. I'm afraid we can't afford this price."
"Boss, I'm an atheist. I don't believe what you're saying."
"Revere God as if God is alive." Jiang Hua said mysteriously: "You scientific researchers should actually believe in metaphysics. The end of science is metaphysics."
"Whoever said this is pure fart."
Jiang Hua said with a smile: "Why else would Newton study how many angels can stand on the tip of a needle in his later years? Maybe this great scientific master saw the truth of the world in his later years. Even Einstein said that everything in the universe is
It was arranged by God."
"It's so blatant, I don't believe it anymore."
"The metaphysics that we cannot understand now may be explained by science as science advances in the future." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "The charms painted by ancient Taoist priests may be a pattern of energy."
The person in charge felt as if he had been struck by lightning: "Boss, you better stop talking. Your words have shocked my world view. If you continue to talk, my view on science and technology will be affected. Maybe I will have to leave home."
"Forget it, I'll shut up. I don't want the head of my heavy machinery research group to escape into the void."
Jiang Hua waved his hand: "You continue to study. If you have any needs, just report them. Boss, I have made a lot of money this year and I can try my best to meet your purchasing needs."
"Then why don't you, boss, buy us a real TBM?"
Jiang Hua glared at the person in charge. If you want to take advantage of loopholes, you have to be the one who knows how to do it.
"It's not impossible." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "But I'm afraid that this shield machine will be taken away by the Ministry of Railways before it is shipped to the country. You know how much the Ministry of Railways needs these heavy machinery.
?"
"Forget it." The person in charge thought for a while: "Boss, can you buy some backward shield machine drawings? I believe it will be a guide for our design work."
Jiang Hua thought for a while: "Okay, I may not be able to get the ones from Hans Country, but there should be no problem with the ones from Big Bear."
"That's enough." The person in charge said happily: "We just lack a physical guide now, and it will have the same effect if we have drawings."
"I'll do it as soon as possible."
"Jiang He, it's time for us to leave."
Jiang Hua greeted Chen Jianghe loudly. At this moment, Chen Jianghe was observing the shield machine but did not talk to the researchers.
Chen Jianghe heard Jiang Hua's greeting and followed Jiang Hua out of the warehouse. Chen Jianghe said in surprise: "This thing is really big, what is it used for?"
"you guess?"
Chen Jianghe thought for a while: "I just heard you say it's called a shield machine. Is it a military weapon?"
"It doesn't mean that calling it a shield machine can be related to the military." Jiang Hua explained with a smile: "This thing is called a shield tunnel boring machine. The English name contains "shield", which translates to shield, so it is called a shield machine."
"Dig a tunnel?" Chen Jianghe shook his head: "I really can't imagine that such a big guy is actually used to dig holes."
"Now our country has begun to develop domestic infrastructure, especially the criss-crossing railway network, highway network, and subway tunnels. This shield machine is the best construction tool."
Chen Jianghe nodded: "Brother, is this kind of machinery expensive? Is it profitable?"
Jiang Hua nodded: "It's indeed very expensive. We can't produce this thing. In the past two years, the country gritted its teeth and bought two units, which cost 700 million."
"My dear." Chen Jianghe said in surprise: "How many small hardware tools do I have to sell to buy such a big thing?"
