Chapter 202 Another Thing Is Stuck

"Hydraulic forklifts are interesting. Although the technical content is not high. But the Chinese people are currently low-sighted and not open-minded. If there are more people like Luo Cheng, why waste a lot of resources by imitating them."

In the office of the steel rolling mill, Director Zhang looked at the drawings left by Luo Cheng and the others and thought with emotion. The current situation is caused by internal and external troubles, and the shortage of supplies is not just caused by the natural disasters in the past two years.

The main reason is to pay off foreign debts. In order to pay off foreign debts, many research and development projects have been stopped and there is no funding. And there is nothing domestically available to repay the debt, so grain and meat products can only be used. And they all have to be high-quality food, such as eggs. The Soviet Union will prepare a small iron ring. If the eggs fall off after they are placed on them, they are unqualified. In other words, don't use eggs that are too small.

The quality of the rice depends on its quality, as well as canned tea and other items. Even in Zhengcheng, an average of 5,000 pigs were killed every day to deliver them to the Soviet Union to repay debts.

Due to the disaster in the past two years, I have already changed my way of repaying my debts and used mineral products to try to repay my debts. If it weren't for various forms of repayment, it would be even harder to support the food supply.

But the country cannot stop developing because of disasters and debts. Without enough foreign exchange, it can only do independent research and development. If you don't know how, just copy it, even if it is backward, as long as it can be used, it will save foreign exchange.

The construction of the steel rolling mill in Ngee Ann was based on multiple considerations, but the big factor was that Luo Cheng was here in Ngee Ann. Why manual forklifts and pallets are needed in large quantities and how many can be used in a rolling mill. And I have picked up goods from the automobile factory several times, but currently, except for a few cars left by the steel rolling mill, the others have long disappeared.

Moreover, Team Leader Jiang often brings drawings to produce various engine parts, which is what the steel rolling mill is watching. Of course, the steel rolling mill is keeping an eye on this matter, mainly from above. The development relies on the backward industry of Ngee Ann, and the production of engine parts is really not qualified when the level of skilled workers is not good.

Several accessories are secretly hand-forged by people here, and they are all eighth-level workers. Team Leader Jiang and the others don't know that there are several sets of accessories from the beginning to the present in a certain R&D room here.

Many people have questioned whether the other party can successfully produce an engine. Is this necessary? But within a day of the debate, orders were issued directly from above. Some people could not handle it with common sense, and some people would not officially produce a single component if they were not sure. Once it is in production, even it is tentative. But in theory, it must have reached a very high level, unlike some other companies that are trying to cross the river by just trying to get there.

What everyone doesn't even know is that a certain military factory has begun mass production of shock absorbers and power steering pumps. It’s not that we want to compete with local companies for the market, but that we are re-exporting. But the technical content of this thing is not high, and some countries even have it abroad. What can really be exported are some countries that agree to be backward and do not have this technology.

There is no fear of being counterfeited after being sold. It is originally prepared to be bought and sold in one shot, and it can be exchanged for grain or fruit.

This is also an industrial product that is rarely exported domestically. Even if all domestic cars have not been replaced with these items, they will still be exported first. Reduce the burden on the country.

If Luo Cheng's automobile manufacturing plant can produce high-quality forklifts, just like Luo Cheng said, it can compete even if it is sent abroad. Even if Luo Cheng wanted to make a small fuss, there were several factories with no names but numbers waiting.

Director Chen picked up the phone and dialed a number. After two transfers, he was connected to the person he was looking for. Explained the needs here, we need an expert in mechanics to come over quickly. Don't have any doubts, there are confidentiality involved, peanut warning.

In less than an hour, a senior engineer from a certain regional military industrial enterprise immediately took off his specific internal work clothes. As soon as I left the factory gate, a jeep was already waiting.

Ngee Ann, automobile manufacturing plant.

I smiled smugly, smiled smugly. Luo Cheng has already planned this tripartite R&D of the forklift, and Gao Ru will supervise it. However, his name must be added to the R&D list. He is the main R&D personnel. When the time comes, bonuses, benefits and benefits will all have to be calculated for him.

On the way back, Luo Chengcheng told Gao Ru that he must strive for food stamp subsidies for three meals a day. We are all cultural people, and we need to be well-fed to engage in research and development. It would be better if there is some fruit. Anyway, if you have any, remember to bring it back to him.

"Director Luo, you are in a good mood."

"Just another small thing to do. Come on, Director Zhang, smoke. These cigarettes cost one yuan a pack, and you can only smoke them here."

Director Zhang took the cigarette and was already cursing in his heart. You only have one dollar, and the whole family only has one dollar. Damn it, even if you have money, you can't buy this. But he came here to talk about business, and the special offer was just a side trip.

The equipment for producing shock absorbers will arrive this afternoon. The machinery factory just called and said it has been loaded into the car. The other two sets of equipment will be delivered the day after tomorrow and will be debugged and installed.

Then there is the issue of three-wheel truck accessories. The engine factory in the neighboring city is actually a joint venture with Japanese capital. It was made by a tractor factory and a Japanese engine manufacturer. The current output is not large. Excluding the ones for personal use, although there are some, they are not large at the moment. However, diesel engines are also available in other provinces. Diesel engines are more widely used than gasoline engines, so there are several diesel engine factories.

But when it comes to quality, it is really good in the neighboring city. Their production technology is good. If the joint venture does not have good technology, they will not open a factory here.

The neighboring city can provide a minimum of fifty engines, while the tire factory's output is not small, but of various models. In fact, the tires required for square cars and three-wheeled trucks are not conventional tires, but motorcycle-type tires. They are actually one size smaller than car tires. At present, we can only guarantee 300 tires a month. If the demand is stable, we can increase the production line there. It will take a month to increase the quantity.

Three hundred tires have been ordered here, and all of them will be used to produce three-wheeled trucks, which is only one hundred units. For square trucks, one hundred units are not enough. And this thing won't go bad if it's stored.

The other thing is the transmission. This thing is really stuck, but the quantity given is barely okay, there are eighty of them. When I asked the other party to increase the production line, the other party said that the equipment could not be fully localized. It was something used on cars, not motorcycles. A motorcycle acceleration gear would be enough, and the precision requirements were not high.

To put it another way, if you are not afraid of failure, they can also produce one with lower precision for you. The side effect is that there is a chance of malfunction when the gear is put into gear and it will automatically slip. In the worst case, the gear will snap off and the gearbox will not have a long service life.

What makes this party even more desperate is to apply for imported equipment for the cube trucks and three-wheeled trucks here, even a part of the equipment. It should be impossible to pass. Unless the production of domestic cars increases, then they will be imported. However, some of the current car bodies in China are made by sheet metal workers, and production is increasing very slowly.

As for other things, the technical content is not high, and automotive electrical equipment is currently also of extremely low technical content. There are hundreds of sets.

"Have orders been placed for the variable speed transformer and diesel engine?"

"I have already placed an order. They are all for the maximum quantity. If there are more, we can adjust them next month."

Luo Cheng nodded. Damn it, the transmission was stuck. What he worried about still happened. In fact, it doesn’t matter if we choose another manufacturer for this engine. At most, the power is not standard and the performance is poor. But as Director Zhang just said, the price is also cheaper.

With a cheaper engine, the price of three-wheeled trucks will not go down, and there is no private car purchase. Who can blame you if you can’t buy a good engine here? You can’t just buy a diesel engine yourself in the future.

The key problem now is the gearbox. The industry is backward and some equipment must be imported. If the production gear is not precise enough, it is not a design problem at all. If there were design issues, Luo Cheng could still draw up a bunch of drawings and produce them himself, just like the engine. But now it's stuck on the instrument. People there have said that if you need a low-precision gearbox, they can help make it.

Luo Cheng couldn't use the sign-in system to get precision instruments. Not to mention cross-border work, he might not be able to understand the annotations on the drawings if they were actually signed in. When the time comes, people ask some questions, but I can’t answer them.

This really doesn't work, but it's not that there are no workarounds. It's just like the three-wheeler I modified myself. Instead of a combination transmission, there is a dedicated rod to control a gear speed. The gear size can be adjusted, so it can actually be used on a three-wheeled truck. In this way, even if one gear gear fails, other gears will not be affected. If you use a complete gearbox, if there is a serious problem, the car will basically not be able to drive.

In the future, when the engine is produced, it will be exported, and the factory will also import a set of transmission equipment. A stuck neck can only be temporary. An elephant's neck cannot be stuck. If you are stuck on me now, it can only be said that you have bad eyesight and treat the Ngee Ann Automobile Factory as a rat-headed duck neck.
