Picking up the shovel placed aside, Liu Gen scooped up some coal and threw it into the boiler of the steam engine. Soon the fire was burning brightly.
Liu Gen kept shoveling coal into the boiler, as if he was not tired at all. Foreman Qi and others looked at all this without any thought of stopping it. Liu Gen was the one who designed the screw forming machine. This kind of
Naturally, he had to do the job. If it weren't for this reason, there would probably be many people in the lathe department competing for the job of shoveling coal into the boiler.
The coal in the boiler was burning continuously, and soon the machine tool started to operate, and the formed steel was placed on the machine tool. It lived up to everyone's expectations, and with everyone's attention, the mechanical screws were quickly formed. However, due to power issues, the machine
The speed of screw forming is not very fast! But even so, it is enough to satisfy everyone present. It is enough to be able to produce mechanical screws. As for the speed, there is not much requirement.
There is no requirement, and it is also because there is no way. Considering the conditions of the arsenal, steam engines can only be used as power. How high can the requirements be?
"We succeeded! We succeeded!" Foreman Qi looked at the continuously working machine tools and shouted excitedly.
"Success! Success!"
"We can also build machine tools!"
"We will never be short of machine screws in the future."
"..."
As Foreman Qi spoke, everyone in the lathe department shouted. Everyone knew how hard it was to make this screw forming machine. Now that it has been successfully manufactured and works without any problems, how can everyone not
Excited? Soon some excited workers came to Liu Gen. They threw Liu Gen up with all their strength, then caught Liu Gen, and so on.
After nearly half an hour of commotion, everyone returned to their respective work stations and devoted themselves seriously to their work.
Liu Gen also led some workers to invest in the manufacturing of the bullet reloading machine. Influenced by the successful work of the screw forming machine, everyone was very motivated to work. After a whole day, the work of the bullet reloading machine progressed again, which was unexpected.
In two days, the bullet reloading machine can be successfully manufactured.
After dinner, Liu Gen checked the machine tools in the lathe department to prevent problems with the machine tools from affecting the work. After there was no shortage of machine screws, all the machine screws with problems on some machine tools were replaced and replaced by the lathe department's own ones.
Production of machine screws.
Liu Gen has also carefully inspected the machine screws produced by the screw forming machine. The accuracy is still very good. The machine tools made by workers grinding parts by hand can have such accuracy, which makes Liu Gen quite satisfied. Machine screws with such accuracy are still very good.
There is a lot of room for improvement, but for arsenals, machine screws with such precision are sufficient.
However, Liu Gen is still worried. The steel used to produce machine screws is rail steel, which is not very good steel. Liu Gen is not sure how long the machine screws produced with this steel can last. If there are more
If it is made of good steel, the machine screws produced by the screw forming machine should be able to be used for a long enough time.
When he came to the corner of the lathe department, Liu Gen was going to take a nap for a while. During this period, in order to make machine tools, he slept very late every day and got up very early. Liu Gen's physical fitness was good, but he had always been like this
Due to his living habits, he suffered from a serious lack of sleep. But Liu Gen also knew that he could not rest and needed to manufacture these two machine tools in the shortest possible time so that the arsenal could reload more bullets and support the soldiers on the front line.
Whenever Liu Gen felt sleepy, he would walk out of the lathe department and wash his face with some ice water. Only then could Liu Gen persevere.
Now that the manufacturing of the bullet reloading machine has reached a certain stage, the next work will be much simpler, which makes Liu Gen want to take a rest. However, Liu Gen also knows that he cannot rest for too long. After the workers go back to rest, he
After another two hours of work, the workers will continue working in another three hours. In other words, Liu Gen only has three hours of rest time at most.
"Eh? Kong Gong, why are you here?" As soon as he came to the corner, Liu Gen saw Kong Jue.
Kong Jue was lying on the ground, constantly drawing with the charcoal pen in his hand, as if he was drawing a sketch of something. It seemed that Kong Jue was too preoccupied to notice Liu Gen's arrival, but seeing Kong Jue so focused
, Liu Gen simply came directly to Kong Jue, wanting to see what Kong Jue was painting.
Coming to Kong Jue's side, Liu Gen looked carefully. After checking for a moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face. Kong Jue was actually designing a machine tool? But Liu Gen could see that on the drawings drawn by Kong Jue, there were
There are certain mistakes, but Kong Jue's idea is worthy of recognition. As long as the existing problems need to be corrected, then this machine tool will not have major problems. As for the data of the machine tool, it requires a lot of calculations.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Kong Jue looked at the drawings he drew carefully and murmured in a low voice.
Kong Jue knew that the machine tool he designed had certain problems, but he could never find the problem. As for using charcoal, it was because he knew that the machine tool he designed had some problems and was not willing to waste it easily.
Paper and ink. As a top student at Yenching University, Kong Jue has many choices. His family background is also good. He can choose to go abroad. There is no need to suffer in the arsenal.
But Kong Jue gave up the idea of going abroad, gave up the comfortable life at home, and chose to join the Eighth Route Army, committing himself to the road of killing the enemy, serving the country, and saving the nation! Kong Jue had also joined the national army before, but there, he could not see
There is too much hope. Retreat, keep retreating, keep retreating. Can retreating save the country? Kong Jue doesn’t want to retreat. He knows that many people don’t want to retreat and join the army. They are to kill the enemy and the Japanese.
!Instead of retreating!
After joining the Eighth Route Army, Kong Jue was assigned to work in the lathe engineering department of the arsenal because he was a top student.
At that time, the arsenal had just been established, and Kong Jue was not a student in a related major. At first, Kong Jue was a little reluctant to stay in the arsenal. He wanted to go to the front line and fight with the Japanese. But in the end, he met Factory Director Cheng.
The conversation made Kong Jue give up the idea of going to the front line. As a top student at Yenching University, he could play a greater role by staying at the rear.
What's more, if Kong Jue has never experienced professional military training, how can he kill the Japanese on the front line? Can he rely on courage and passion?
In the arsenal, Kong Jue was trained, and he continued to study seriously, and eventually became one of the people with the highest technical level in the lathe department. Kong Jue was very familiar with the machine tools in the lathe department, and they were like his children.
No abnormality could escape his eyes. After seeing the machine tool designed by Liu Gen, Kong Jue joined the team of manufacturing screw forming machines.
In the manufacturing of screw forming machines, everyone experienced many difficulties, but they were overcome one by one. Kong Jue also discovered many problems during the manufacturing process. Now the lathe department can manufacture screw forming machines by hand.
With this experience, maybe you can also manufacture other machine tools.
But Kong Jue knows that there are many areas that can be improved. The purpose of machine tools is to carry out large-scale production. When the machine tools reach a certain number and form a scale effect, the production efficiency is very high. Manufacturing machine tools by hand-polished parts is
Not bad, but the efficiency of this is too low. Kong Jue wants to change this situation.
In order to solve this problem, Kong Jue thought of designing a machine tool that can produce various components. With the production efficiency of the machine tool, as long as such a machine tool can be manufactured, the required parts can be produced. Workers only need to assemble these parts.
Just get up. The simple drawings drawn by Kong Jue on the ground were the product of this period of time. However, after discovering that there was a problem with the drawings he designed, he was trapped here and did not make much progress.
Seeing Kong Jue who was almost going crazy, Liu Gen was a little silent. He didn't know that Kong Jue was designing the machine tool physique during this time. If he knew, he would definitely choose to help Kong Jue. With Liu Gen here, Kong Jue
Designing the machine tool drawings will definitely be much smoother, but Liu Gen is too busy every day and has no energy to pay attention to Kong Jue, so naturally he doesn't know about this matter.
Liu Gen squatted down, stretched out his fingers, and carefully pointed out the problems on the drawing.
Although the drawings drawn by Kong Jue on the ground are very crude and somewhat blurry, others may not be able to tell when looking at the drawings, but people like Liu Gen can clearly see that the drawings drawn by Kong Jue are
What.
"Here? Here?" Kong Jue's eyes were slightly blurry. After a moment, his eyes became clear and he understood!
Kong Jue raised his head, saw Liu Gen beside him, and said gratefully: "Captain Liu, thank you, it's not your advice. I'm afraid it will take me some time to find the problem."
"You're welcome, and there's no need to be so polite. Just call me Genzi." Liu Gen said with a smile.
Kong Jue nodded and wanted to get up, but as soon as he made a move, he felt that his whole body was numb. How could his body not be numb after lying on the ground for such a long time?
Seeing that Kong Jue was about to fall to the ground, Liu Gen quickly stretched out his hand to grab Kong Jue, and slowly helped Kong Jue up, "Move slowly, and you'll be fine once your body moves."
It didn't take much time for Kong Jue to recover. After he returned to normal, Liu Gen let go of his hand. Kong Jue was a little excited. After getting Liu Gen's guidance and knowing the mistakes in his drawings, he wanted to go back directly.
Draw all the drawings to avoid any problems. But now that Liu Gen is still there, no matter how low Kong Jue's emotional intelligence is, he still knows that he needs to thank Liu Gen. After all, it is not Liu Gen's advice. He wants to understand.
, it should still take some time.
"Genzi, thank you." Kong Jue looked at Liu Gen and thanked him seriously.
Liu Gen looked at Kong Jue, who looked a little unnatural, and could understand Kong Jue's state. Kong Jue was also a genius. Geniuses must have certain flaws. Noticing the excitement in Kong Jue's eyes, Liu Gen said directly with a smile.
: "No need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, then go back and draw the drawings of this machine tool as soon as possible."
"Okay! I'll go right away!" As soon as Liu Gen finished speaking, Kong Jue ran away excitedly.
