Chapter 136 A Motorcycle Factory that Is Not Doing Business (Fifth Update)
PS: The fifth update is over, please vote for me.
Liu Hai took out the drawings and made the engine.
But when it came to the mold, Liu Hai decided to make it himself, asking Li Dali to prepare the materials, and then started casting it himself.
This time Liu Hai made a new material, boron-containing cast iron, which contains 0.07% boron to increase wear resistance.
There are many types of wear-resistant cast iron, including high calcium, rare earth, etc., but at this stage, it is easier to get the ones containing boron.
With this, the life of the cylinder liner is greatly increased. This is why Liu Hai has to cast parts by himself, so that he can get new materials. Anyway, after manufacturing them, he still has to test them. When the test finds that the lifespan is so long, then he will check back and check slowly. Out.
Materials are like this. Even if you add 0.01%, they will have different properties. Later, the liquor industry learned this trick. Add one drop to one ton of 30-year-old wine, and this ton is 30-year-old wine.
Subsequent crankshafts, piston rings, etc. will all use new materials. Of course, they are new materials at this time, but not for modern times.
The main reason for using new materials is to increase the service life, and under current road conditions, things that often break are not user-friendly.
A simple engine, excluding the gearbox, is actually not very complicated, but the required procedures are very complicated.
Molds for casting cylinder liners, casting crankshafts, casting pistons, and manufacturing piston rings.
Bangs manufactures four-stroke engines.
In the maintenance department, Liu Hai is making motorcycle engines, and it's great that no one cares.
Factory director Sun Aiguo prepared materials about the production technology of 100-ton hydraulic presses, etc. Because now it is impossible for one company in Kyoto to produce such hydraulic presses nationwide. On the one hand, it is troublesome to transport various materials, coming and going, and on the other hand, the finished products are manufactured Also, as for those factories that can produce, this is what was planned above.
At this time, there were no technology patents in the mainland, nor in the entire Big Brother circle. As long as you could copy Big Brother's stuff, you could make it.
Patents are only available in circles dominated by the United States.
After the First Machinery Department submitted its purchasing plan to Big Brother, the top leaders were also very surprised. Hydraulic presses are used a lot in the industrial system and are needed by many products. With such a low price this time, let’s take a closer look at the plan. , the big boss thought the numbers were wrong.
Later, I saw that Big Brother was willing to provide large quantities of high-pressure explosion-proof pipes, and I was surprised again. Although Big Brother is the big brother, it still has to choke your neck.
Some key parts of large equipment sometimes break down and need to be urgently ordered from Big Brother. Of course, the price is already mentioned, but I didn't expect that the supply would be open this time?
"This motorcycle factory is the one that makes briquettes?" When the leader asked, the secretary quickly reported the detailed process.
"Yes, leader." The secretary immediately nodded affirmatively after hearing the leader's question.
"This factory director is so awesome. He actually dug holes for Big Brother's people." The senior leader continued to look down and saw Sun Aiguo competing in the First Machinery Department, and then built a temporary 500-ton hydraulic press. Big Brother not only lowered the price, but also stopped limiting the quantity.
"Boss, Director Sun is a good factory director and can save a lot of foreign exchange this time." Naturally, the secretary would not talk about bangs. Bangs are too low-level and not worthy of attention.
After the leader read it, he took out a cigarette. The secretary quickly came up and lit the cigarette. The leader said: "Since you can make high-pressure explosion-proof pipes yourself, then make some of them yourself. It is not good to always look at other people's faces. The other 500 tons Since our hydraulic press can produce samples, you can continue to do it. Be more courageous and don’t be afraid of failure. If you fail, just start over.”
"Okay, leader."
"With the money saved, we will have to sell so many pigs and grains that the masses themselves are reluctant to eat. We should let the masses know about such people." The big leader added.
"Yes, leader." The secretary immediately understood that this was about publicity.
The leader spoke, and the following quickly implemented it. Before Liu Hai got off work, Sun Aiguo trotted over: "Xiao Liu, clean up, there are reporters coming to interview."
"Director, is this inappropriate?" Liu Hai said quickly after hearing this.
"Why is it inappropriate? You are a great hero." Sun Aiguo said immediately.
Liu Hai quickly said: "Director, do you think it is better to promote individuals or our workers?"
When Sun Aiguo heard this, he was excited. Liu Hai continued: "Director, you have to promote that our workers are powerful and can overcome everything."
Sun Aiguo slapped Liu Hai on the shoulder twice: "Good boy, I'm not as good as you in some aspects, and I almost made a mistake."
"Hey, director, why don't you hurry up and go." Liu Hai chuckled. You must not be in the limelight at this time, otherwise a certain transportation team captain across the sea might not want to see your appearance in the newspaper and give you a casual order... .
The factory director went immediately, discussed with the secretary in a low voice, overturned everything he had originally said, and then wrote an article praising the workers for not being afraid of hardship, working together as one, overcoming many difficulties, and completing the research and development of new machines. Of course, motorcycles The car factory is also famous.
Kyoto is a little better. Everyone in Kyoto knows that there is a motorcycle factory in the east of the city that is not doing its job. The motorcycles are not very good. It produces briquette machines. This also produces hydraulic presses. The factory is expanded and expanded, and it recruits workers again and again. He was also awarded by the Ministry of Machinery.
Those who read newspapers from other places and listened to the radio were a little stunned. The Kyoto Motorcycle Factory makes briquette machines? Build a hydraulic press? Are you sure it's not a machine shop?
Liu Hai thought that this matter was over. He was called into the conference room just after he went to work the next day: "Xiao Liu, can you come up with the plan for producing high-pressure explosion-proof hoses that you mentioned last time?"
"Director, are you going to do this?" When Liu Hai heard this, he thought that he must have a mission.
"If the top leader says we can do it, let's do it ourselves. The boss asked us to give it a try first." When Sun Aiguo heard the top leader praise the motorcycle factory, his legs almost gave out with excitement, so he quickly called Liu Hai over to ask.
"It can be done, but it takes time, and most of them are imitations of Big Brother." Liu Hai actually wants to do it, but one person's energy is limited. The design of high-pressure explosion-proof hoses is not complicated in theory. The key is subsequent parameter debugging. Trouble with temperature, feeding speed, etc.
"Then let's do it. Who needs the full cooperation of the factory?"
"There's no rush for now, I'll check the information first, and then I'll come up with the drawings." Liu Hai quickly waved his hands and said. Many other people came in and asked why this was designed like this, and why that was designed that way. I wanted to explain it myself, but I was afraid that some modern things would appear. For vocabulary, you might as well figure it out yourself first.
When the drawings come out, follow the drawings first. If necessary, you can make changes later.
"Can the test be carried out in half a year?" Sun Aiguo said a conservative date.
"That's about right. Let's get the machine out first, otherwise we won't be able to change it later." Liu Hai thought for a moment. It took three months for the motorcycle and three months for the high-pressure explosion-proof hose machine. The main technical difficulty of the high-pressure explosion-proof hose is at the water inlet. The high-pressure pipe is transformed from rubber particles into a pipe and then coated with film. The rest does not require high technology.
Liu Hai returned to the maintenance department, looked at the motorcycle engine drawings, and muttered to himself: "Finally we can build a motorcycle."
