The last time I came here, I took the train. I still felt uncomfortable at that time, but compared to taking the train, the bumpy roads at this time made taking a car a life-threatening experience.
Factory Director Wang got off the passenger seat, also holding his waist and hammering his back.
"Oh, it can't be done, it can't be done."
He shouted and climbed into the truck bed, "I'll lie down for a while."
Yang Xiaotao and Wang Hao pulled him up, and Lao Li on the side was also moving his hands and feet below, making two ouch sounds from time to time in the dark night.
This is the hard work of running long distances.
"Where are you?"
Yang Xiaotao looked around and saw that there was nothing else but the dirt road in front of him and behind him.
"Clean the river!"
Wang Hao said uncertainly.
"Oh, isn't that soon?"
"Um!"
At this time, Director Wang leaned against Yang Xiaotao's luggage, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and spoke in an increasingly quiet voice.
"I'm here for the meeting!"
Yang Xiaotao looked at Lao Li's tired look and jumped out of the car.
Old Li looked startled, "No, Director Yang, I'll do it."
Yang Xiaotao waved his hand and was already in the driver's seat.
I am a Level 4 proficient driver, and I have never driven a truck before.
It's just that this is the first time I've encountered such a heavy truck.
Lao Li had no choice but to look at Factory Manager Wang in the truck compartment, but he didn't know that Factory Manager Wang didn't care at all. At this moment, he had closed his eyes and was faintly snoring.
As for Wang Hao, he knew that Yang Xiaotao could drive, and he drove it frequently when he was at the steel rolling mill.
The two of them didn't talk, and there was nothing Lao Li could do. Who made Yang Xiaotao the director of the factory?
Let your car go out first.
Boom~
The car started, Yang Xiaotao put it into gear, slowly lifted the clutch, stepped on it with his right foot, and the car started running.
Lao Li pointed at the road from the passenger seat and looked nervous for a while. Then he saw that Yang Xiaotao knew how to drive and relaxed.
Yang Xiaotao held the steering wheel and controlled the car.
Trucks without mechanical hydraulic auxiliary systems rely entirely on the driver's arm strength to control direction.
Especially heavy trucks, which most people really can't handle if they are too weak.
"Master Li, how many years have you been operating?"
Yang Xiaotao took out an unopened box of cigarettes from his pocket and placed it on the driver's seat, chatting with the driver.
Lao Li took a look, picked it up and opened it with a smile.
The big front door in Sijiucheng is not cheap.
"This is the eighth year!"
The two of them took one each, and sparks started to appear.
"Keep this on?"
"No, the small trucks we used before were from the south, Jiefang from the north, and our local ones. Finally, the car factory came up with this one, and we have been using it ever since."
"What do you think of these cars?"
"Hey, what else can we do? The ones made in China are just like that. If you can't imitate others, you won't be able to make your own."
Lao Li rolled down the window a crack and shook out the cigarette ashes.
"It runs slowly and has many problems."
"However, it would be good if it can run. When it was first liberated, there were not many trucks in Quancheng, and some of them were from other countries. At that time, if the truck broke down, it would be hard to find any parts..."
"By the way, Director Yang, I have used this auxiliary system you developed in the steel rolling mill. It works really well. It would be great if this car could also be equipped with it."
Lao Li said and started to complain again.
"This truck, after driving it for so long, the biggest feeling I have is that it's boring!"
"Don't look at the carrying capacity of seven or eight tons. It's just a dirt road like ours. If you load a five-ton car, thank God it can run. Especially when you run long distances and encounter bad roads, sometimes you have to wait for a long time, and the steering wheel can help.
You twist it off..."
"Also, this car is easy to get stuck. This summer I went to the south to deliver goods, and it rained for two days. The road was impossible to walk on."
"I have no choice but to run slowly, but I still have to lie down for me."
"I lied down six times in three miles in one day! How to fix it?"
"The local militiamen who helped us are all useless."
Yang Xiaotao listened to Lao Li talking about driving, and responded with some novel sentences. He also made compliments to those who didn't understand, to pass the time.
At 9:30 in the evening, Yang Xiaotao drove to Quancheng and stopped at the entrance of the No. 1 Machinery Factory.
At this time, Officer Huo from the security department and Liu Dehui from the automobile factory were waiting at the door of the No. 1 Machinery Factory.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao jump out of the driver's seat, Liu Dehui and several people from the No. 1 Machinery Factory did not expect it. It was not until they saw Director Wang getting up in the carriage that everyone reacted and hurried forward.
"Gong Yang, I really want to thank you this time."
Liu Dehui stepped forward and held Yang Xiaotao's hand, the gratitude on his face was beyond words.
"Director Liu, you're welcome. We are all revolutionary workers. Wherever there are difficulties, we will go there."
Yang Xiaotao was polite, while Factory Manager Wang got out of the truck and flexed his hands and feet.
"Old Liu, I have invited you back. You have to fight for your reputation this time!"
Factory Director Wang stepped forward and said, "Also, Comrade Yang Xiaotao is the deputy director of the steel rolling mill. You must not lower your welcome standards, and you must not disgrace us Qilu men!"
Liu Dehui was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Yang Xiaotao would become the deputy director of the factory after not seeing him for a year?
But thinking about the other person's achievements, if he were under him, he would be promoted.
These days, the old society is not about making ends meet based on seniority. Everything is for revolutionary construction.
"It just came up, it didn't take long, and then it came."
Yang Xiaotao smiled, and Liu Dehui also laughed, "Come on, Lao Wang, let's go eat."
Liu Dehui greeted the two of them and asked his men to move the mechanical and hydraulic equipment from the truck to the car. The three of them took the jeep and headed to the car factory first.
It was impossible to see the appearance of the automobile factory in the dark. When he arrived at the place where he was staying in the dark, Yang Xiaotao put down his luggage and wanted to rest, but was called out by Factory Manager Liu for dinner.
When we arrived at the factory's reception room, which is dedicated to entertaining guests, two waitresses were placing dishes on the table.
The meal was very rich, including fish and chicken, and a bowl of lasagna for each person.
Considering the hard work of driving, Director Liu didn't say much at the dinner table and just waited to discuss it tomorrow.
After the meal was finished, it was already midnight. Director Wang was sent back, while Yang Xiaotao returned to his residence and lay down to sleep.
When I woke up the next day, I felt slightly cold.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Look at your watch, it's not even five o'clock.
Maybe it's because I changed places and I didn't sleep well last night. Now I got up and went out for a walk.
In the next room, Wang Hao got up immediately when he heard the noise. He never took off his clothes when he came out.
After leaving the door, Yang Xiaotao asked Wang Hao to continue sleeping. Wang Hao shook his head, so the two of them started walking around outside.
The same thing between an auto repair shop and a steel rolling mill is that the place is not small, and you can see tall factory buildings everywhere, as well as patrol teams from time to time.
The biggest difference is that there are many more cars here.
There are many vehicles parked in warehouses, roadsides, and parking lots.
Some of these are used by auto repair shops, some are semi-finished products, and some are manufactured and ready for transportation. Anyway, there are several cars within a hundred meters' walk.
After walking for more than half an hour, workers had already come to work in the factory area. The unfamiliar faces of the two people quickly attracted the attention of the workers. Some people came up to ask about the situation. Yang Xiaotao was afraid of causing misunderstanding and told the truth.
The workers felt a little more relaxed knowing that they were from Forty-Nine City and could still wander around the automobile factory.
Wandering around again, we came to a workshop where trucks were being assembled.
It is similar to the assembly of a tractor. The components are produced and then installed by a dedicated person.
Yang Xiaotao was watching from the side, and several old masters didn't take it seriously, and they all went about their own business.
Yang Xiaotao watched for a while, and someone patted his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw it was Liu Dehui.
"Director Liu."
"I went to look for you but couldn't find anyone. Someone said you were here, so come and take a look."
Liu Dehui said, looking at the busy people, "This is after the last improvement of the bearing."
"According to the summary data during this period, the load capacity and speed have increased. This is also the motivation for us to participate in this tender."
Liu Dehui said with determination on his face.
"Director Wang told me, actually, I also think we should fight."
“It’s hard to find big fish in a pool of stagnant water!”
Liu Dehui agreed very much after hearing this, "So, when I saw the system you developed in the newspaper, I didn't care what others said. I thought this was an opportunity."
Yang Xiaotao smiled, "Actually, this is also an opportunity for our steel rolling mill."
Liu Dehui understood the meaning of the words, then looked at the heavy truck being assembled, and said with confidence, "Then let's work together to make the Yellow River run faster and more powerfully."
The two of them understood each other.
Liu Dehui then introduced the automobile factory and came to the office after breakfast.
Liu Dehui took out the design drawing of the Yellow River heavy truck and handed it to Yang Xiaotao.
Logically speaking, such things are confidential, but Yang Xiaotao's position is sufficient, and this time he is helping with the renovation. Without the design drawings, the work cannot be carried out.
"Gong Yang, this is the design drawing of a heavy truck. Take a look."
After Liu Dehui finished speaking, he left the office and found someone to prepare for the meeting.
Yang Xiaotao picked up the drawing and it seemed that the model of the Huanghe heavy truck was a Skoda, but the engine was a marine engine modified in Shanghai.
After so many years, it has not changed.
It can only be said that domestic achievements in heavy-duty engines are too slow.
Of course, there are not many medium-sized ones, and the few that are there have a lot of problems.
It can be said that in the field of internal combustion engines, China still has a long way to go.
After looking at the drawings for a while, Yang Xiaotao pulled out one and looked at it carefully. This was an engine structure diagram.
It is also the engine currently used by Huanghe heavy trucks. Of course, it should be made by technicians from the automobile factory.
Yang Xiaotao looked at it for a while and found that there was a system that provided drawings of diesel engines for comparison. He felt that the one he had on hand was too backward.
It's big, but its utilization rate is low, and its design is also theoretically deficient.
There is at least a thirty-year technological gap.
Yang Xiaotao put the drawings aside and thought about the research direction of diesel engines in the next year. The system was too advanced and it would be too difficult for the domestic manufacturing industry. Even if it was made, it would not be mass-produced, so it was necessary to find an intermediate model, or even several models.
An intermediate type.
Yang Xiaotao picked up the drawing of the engine again, thinking about how to modify it on this basis.
Just when Yang Xiaotao was lost in thought, Liu Dehui's voice came from the door. Yang Xiaotao put down the drawings and followed him out to the conference room.
There are already about ten people sitting in the conference room.
When Yang Xiaotao walked in, everyone below stood up and applauded to welcome him.
In the field of technology, those who are successful come first.
They know who is coming today.
The inventor of the heating stove, the designer of the tractor, as well as the pressurized water well, the well drill, and the pressure cooker.
Among them, tractor production in particular shocked them.
As someone who works in the automobile manufacturing industry, I was shocked that Yang Xiaotao used "backward" steam technology to build a tractor.
They also dismantled a steam engine and were amazed at the structure inside.
Even now, it is very difficult to copy a steam engine without drawings.
When they learned that this technology was completely completed by one person, they were so shocked that they lost the words to comment.
What's more, he thought that the steam engine could be moved to a truck, and he still insists on it to this day.
Now, seeing the designer with their own eyes, the overly young face shocked them again.
"Hello everyone, comrades!"
Yang Xiaotao said hello, and Liu Dehui stood aside, "This is Yang Xiaotao, Engineer Yang."
bang bang bang
The applause was even louder.
"This is an engineer from our factory..."
"This is the technical director of our factory..."
After Liu Dehui's introduction, everyone took their seats, Yang Xiaotao sat next to Liu Dehui, the door slowly closed, and the meeting officially began.
