"I think we should adopt the last strategy and carry out adaptive transformation based on the original Volga car, so that the task can be completed faster."
Cao Weidong shook his head.
"The car itself is a high-intensity complex system, a mechanical product that operates under the joint action of multiple systems. Producing so-called domestic cars through adaptive transformation is, in my opinion, just an act of cleverness."
"Have you forgotten the lessons learned from the failure of the old Red Star prototype car?"
"Change the shell, and the rest of the parts will still need to be adapted to suit each other. What we end up producing is an empty shell that only has a superficial appearance."
"Even if we are lucky enough to produce a complete vehicle, various problems will definitely occur after it is installed. We are afraid that our own engineers will not be able to repair it by then."
"Now that we have a complete set of drawings of the Volga, I think we should start with the engine, thoroughly understand its manufacturing technology, master the design principles, and based on this, we can innovate and develop our own domestic engine."
Deng Dongming was silent.
He admitted that what Cao Weidong said was reasonable, but he still retorted: "The time given to us by the organization was too short, and we did not have time to make technological breakthroughs at all."
Cao Weidong asked with a half-smile: "Are you saying that the time given to you by the organization is too short, or that the time given to yourself is too short?"
"Of course it's the time arranged by the organization..."
Deng Dongming blurted out a sentence without even thinking about it, but then he suddenly froze.
Yes, the organization does not seem to have specified a delivery date for the prototype car, but why does he have the inertial idea that the sooner the better?
Not only him, but Ao Sanyuan, who was listening to their debate, also had a smile on his face.
He also realized the same problem.
It seems...
Are you too anxious?
Cao Weidong smiled and said: "Compared with rushing to make samples, we should polish our technology."
In fact, after experiencing the baptism of the radical era, Jinghong Auto Repair Factory, and even most state-owned factories, generally have the wrong ideas of "speed first" and "rapid trial production".
This is understandable.
After all, New China is prospering with all kinds of waste, and hostile forces have been eyeing us, which requires us to do it quickly.
Ten thousand years is too long, seize the day.
But in some areas, haste makes waste.
This is what the automobile manufacturing industry is like.
In Cao Weidong's view, if you want to produce qualified domestically produced cars, you must break the original stubborn ideological problems, thoroughly rectify product quality, pay attention to basic work, improve process discipline, and ensure trouble-free delivery activities.
Ao Sanyuan sighed.
"I didn't expect that after all my life, I still can't see things as clearly as a young person. It's really a terrible future."
"What do you want to do? Do you have a specific plan?"
"Yes."
Cao Weidong said: "First of all, we need to organize a team of developers to concentrate our superior forces, give full play to the role of engineers, and concentrate on breaking through the key to engine manufacturing technology."
"Secondly, the rest of the people have to check the design data and process procedures in the auto repair shop, and perform maintenance on the machine tools, equipment, and parts."
"Finally, we should communicate with the brother units involved in prototype trial production and invite them to participate in engine research and development."
At this time, there was no awareness of patent protection. As long as the technology was beneficial to the development of New China, other factories could use it free of charge.
In this case, Cao Weidong simply relaxed the personnel restrictions, gathered high-quality talents as much as possible, and accelerated the progress of research and development.
Ao Sanyuan made the decision.
"Okay, just wait, I'll discuss it with the factory director."
Soon, Ao Sanyuan hurried back, looking excited: "The factory director has agreed to our request. I will contact my brother's unit right away."
Near noon, Ao Sanyuan finally completed the preliminary communication work.
Then he announced in public that the project goal of the Red Star prototype car manufacturing project was changed from completing the trial production of a single domestic car to completing the trial production and developing a Chinese domestic car engine.
Compared with the original goal, the difficulty of this goal has increased a lot.
Although the core "trial production" goal has not changed, from "adaptation" of the Volga engine to "research and development" of domestic engines, this is a completely different concept.
The time spent will also be greatly increased.
But the engineers involved in the research and development were not discouraged at all, and were even eager to try.
Soon, after everyone's recommendation, an engine R&D team was established with Deng Dongming as the R&D team leader and including more than 30 engineers.
At this time, Cao Weidong learned that Deng Dongming had studied abroad and had made great achievements in engine development.
Cao Weidong patted Deng Dongming on the shoulder and activated the technical barrier breakthrough card.
"Deng Gong, I wish you good luck."
"Thank you also for giving me the opportunity to develop my talents."
Deng Dongming's excited fingers trembled slightly, and his eyes radiated with excitement.
He is also very happy to be able to preside over such a R&D team.
Ao Sanyuan came over.
"Old man, from today on I will follow you."
Zheng Dongming waved his hand.
"Okay, call all our team members together and start working now. I suddenly had a brilliant idea."
"Now?"
Ao Sanyuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
"Sure enough, it's still the familiar style, boys, everyone is moving..."
In an instant, Jinghong Auto Repair Shop was like a moving train, running quickly.
Cao Weidong nodded with satisfaction.
There will be nothing more to do with him next.
After leaving Jinghong Auto Repair Factory, Cao Weidong found a noodle restaurant and had a special meal of fried noodles with soybean paste, and then decided to go to Hongxing Elementary School to see An Wenyao's progress.
My thoughts started to wander, and I went back to the conversation with Minister An that day in the cadre compound.
"It turns out that An Wenyao is the youngest son of Minister An. No wonder the educated youth will be transferred back as soon as they say they will be transferred back. There is indeed a background."
"If I remember correctly, Minister An was also shocked, but he survived and was entrusted with important tasks..."
"It can only be said that the future is promising and limitless."
"But what Minister An explained is a bit difficult to handle."
Cao Weidong felt a little embarrassed.
He thought about it and decided to let nature take its course and not worry about it.
Walking into Hongxing Primary School, An Wenyao practiced in front of an empty class with a confident look on his face.
"Yes, you are already a disciple."
Cao Weidong applauded.
An Wenyao only noticed Cao Weidong now, touched his head a little embarrassedly, and said, "But sometimes I still feel nervous."
Cao Weidong waved his hand: "Nervousness is a basic human emotion. Nervousness is normal. Don't worry too much."
After a few words of comfort, Cao Weidong asked in a subtle way: "Xiao An, I have never had a serious conversation with you, what is your ideal?" Source:
