Chapter 239 New Direction Crash
A new day, a new atmosphere.
The Ngee Ann Automobile Factory is now considered the most energetic factory. In terms of happiness index, apart from car drivers and supply and marketing cooperative salesmen, the workers at the automobile factory are the best.
Everyone works so hard that no one needs to supervise them. What everyone thinks about every day is not to complete the task, but to exceed the standard. If you want benefits and benefits, if you want to make more money, there are teachers who will teach you. As long as you work hard to improve your abilities, there will be assessments every year starting next year.
What is happiness these days? As long as the family is well fed and not hungry. The automobile factory implements quantitative quotas to purchase rice, and the commitment is not one-time, but every month.
Regular workers have a purchase quota of twenty-five pounds, which can solve a lot of big family problems. Even if it is only fifteen kilograms for a temporary worker, if you save some food, it will be enough for one person for a month. You must know that now the average man only gets six taels of food a day, while women only get four taels a day.
Luo Cheng knew that he would be free in the future with food, and the next step would be the issue of fruits and vegetables. In Guangdong and Hainan, there are fruits all year round. Even if there are seasonal effects, at most the varieties of fruits are different.
But Nghe An is too far away from those cities, so Luo Cheng plans to buy trucks. The Jiefang trucks can only be regarded as light trucks and cannot haul several tons of cargo at all. What Luo Cheng wants to get is a heavy truck, which is a truck in the true sense.
So in today's meeting, even though there were no drawings yet, Luo Cheng wrote down the next goal on the blackboard of the meeting. As for heavy-duty trucks, since we can't buy Jiefang trucks, we can produce them ourselves and make big ones directly.
"Director Luo, I object. Heavy trucks cannot be built at the moment. If the automobile factory wants to expand its transportation fleet, I can apply for some liberation trucks."
"The Jiefang truck is good, but the load capacity is too small. If it travels across the country, it is not cost-effective to only pull a few tons of weight over long distances. Director Zhao, even if you can declare the Jiefang truck, it still costs money. One One more than 10,000. If we build our own heavy-duty trucks and make many of the equipment ourselves, the cost of a heavy-duty truck plus imported glass will be a little more than buying a Jiefang truck, but our load capacity is that of a truck. Several times."
"Director Luo, you can do other models, but you really can't do this heavy-duty truck. This will ruin the jobs of many people."
Director Zhao explained with some embarrassment that he did not expect Luo Cheng to jump out like this. The cube car 2.0 has just been designed and has not yet been produced for testing. He jumped onto the truck in an instant. If Luo Cheng felt that the factory's transportation capacity was poor, he could help apply for the purchase of Jiefang trucks. Even if the automobile factory wanted to build Jiefang trucks, this would not be a problem. He could even help get the structural diagram of the liberation truck.
The shortage of cars is not because car manufacturers don’t want to make them, but because they can’t make them. If the automobile factory has the ability to build Jiefang Truck, go and apply for it. With Luo Cheng's background and connections, not only can it be built, but it will even be no problem for the higher-ups to send people over to provide guidance. But when it comes to heavy trucks, Director Zhao feels bad at this juncture.
After hearing Director Zhao's words, Luo Cheng was naturally puzzled as to why this heavy-duty truck could not be built. He does not build missiles and atomic bombs, which threatens national security. I just want to build a large truck and then go shopping everywhere.
Seeing Luo Cheng's confused look, Director Zhao understood that there should be no reports about heavy vehicles in Ngee Ann.
There are currently no self-produced heavy-duty trucks in China, but they are already under development, and even the vehicles were produced last year. However, the trial production failed and many details were not considered. The second round of production and manufacturing of this heavy-duty truck is now underway. It has been more than three years since the project was established.
Everyone has learned about Luo Cheng's abilities. If he built a heavy-duty truck and designed it quickly like other vehicles, how many people would be slapped in the face?
Speaking of which, there is another similarity between that factory and the current automobile factory. The factory was a car manufacturing plant in Jicheng. A few years ago, it was not actually a car factory, but a factory that produced auto parts and repaired cars. The starting point was better than the current Ngee Ann Automobile Factory. At least in addition to repairing cars, it also produced some auto parts, while here it was purely repairing.
Later, it was a copycat of a foreign off-road vehicle, and it became a car factory only after it was successful. However, the output was extremely low. After the copying was successful, only twenty-nine vehicles were produced.
Of course, regardless of their low production volume, if Luo Cheng would just make cars or other models from the beginning. Without high-level skilled workers, the car body cannot even be hammered out. That is to say, it was produced by making a square car with a body that is no different from an iron frame. So regardless of their low output, in terms of technical content, Luo Cheng's cube carts are incomparable.
Just in the past two years, in order to meet the demand for passenger cars, 42 RT-type Karosha series trucks were imported into the country. Then it was transformed into a passenger car. After the transformation was completed. The automobile factory in Jicheng has expanded. Without drawings and production equipment, they want to build their own domestic heavy-duty trucks.
Now in its third year, I have experienced failures and have basically solved all the problems encountered. And now Luo Cheng said that he wanted to build a heavy-duty truck. Are you trying to slap Jicheng Automobile Manufacturing Factory in the face?
You must know that their project has been declared, has R&D funds, and has cooperating units. As for the engine, it is provided by the Tiando Diesel Engine Factory, and considering the horsepower issue, it still uses a marine engine.
Luo Cheng is completely different here. In addition to applying for funds for the square car at the beginning, he still applied for it from the No. 1 Automobile Factory. Whatever you develop later, you can do whatever you want, and it will be done in one go. You should know that other people's research and development only takes several months to design the drawings. If there are errors or other errors in the production of various accessories, the cost of research and development will be very high.
If there was no declared project, Luo Cheng's direct research and development would actually be against the rules. Because once it fails, the cost cannot be deducted from the profit. Instead, it was deducted from the retention fund. Therefore, when the bicycle factory was manufacturing motorcycles, it clearly had a lot of funds in its account, but it was still declared.
If Luo Cheng applied for the production of heavy trucks now, he would not be approved because of the research and development being done in Jicheng. Because repeated research and development is also a waste of the country’s financial resources.
But the reason why Director Zhao is nervous is that Luo Cheng will not declare it at all. In fact, many people want Luo Cheng's design to hit the wall. If you learn a lesson, you will be more cautious in whatever you do in the future. Some people have even thought that if Luo Cheng fails to develop something and the retention money is not enough to offset the research and development costs, then they will step in to protect him.
But the problem is that the forklifts designed by Luo Cheng are not imitations, and they were successful the first time. Now that everything has been revealed, Luo Cheng cannot be treated as an ordinary person.
After hearing Director Zhao's explanation, Luo Cheng didn't understand the history of this era at all. This is tantamount to hitting the road, but Luo Cheng remains skeptical about the manufacturing capabilities of this era.
To be honest, even if later generations have seen the structure of a large truck, it is still very difficult to draw it into a graphic. And there are some things that you may not be able to remember, so you have to refer to the bus structure at the bus station. Even trucks are equipped with a combination of pneumatic and hydraulic pressure. Otherwise, it would be difficult to start the vehicle with dozens of tons of vehicles and cargo. Especially the brake system, which has no air pressure adjustment. If the vehicle travels slightly faster, you will not be able to apply the brakes.
Although Luo Cheng finally understood the structure of the truck, he felt that he had to use the check-in system to improve some areas before he could create the truck he knew. He didn't know what the situation was in Jicheng. If they were not producing trucks of the same magnitude, there shouldn't be any conflict.
So at the meeting, Luo Cheng asked Director Zhao to call him on the spot to inquire about the specific situation. If the vehicle produced is only lagging behind in terms of performance, but the load capacity is acceptable, and we promise to allocate two vehicles to the automobile factory here after production, it doesn't matter whether the truck is built or not.
As for the phone number of the car manufacturer in Jicheng, even if you don't know it, you can find it by asking the local unit.
The production of heavy trucks is not a secret. Jicheng Automobile Manufacturing Plant is also a local enterprise. If it is a military factory, it is difficult to ask.
The news that I wanted to know soon came out. A heavy-duty truck imitating the Skoda 706RT was being produced there. It weighs more than six tons, and according to the imitation model, it can carry eight tons. But after all, in counterfeiting, there are some things that you can’t tell when you see through them. If the counterfeited things don’t have their own technical improvements, how can the performance of the counterfeited things be on par with the imitated things?
This means that the load capacity of eight tons must be reduced by at least 10% or 20%. After asking about the size of the car, Luo Cheng showed a strange expression. In this era, it seems that the load capacity of domestic vehicles has not yet been standardized, not to mention that there are no self-produced heavy trucks in China, so where can we regulate it?
The front of the car and the trunk are nearly eight meters long, so load up the trunk. The load capacity is actually less than eight tons, and this may still be the limit. Because the top speed of this car is only 70 yards per hour, it uses hydraulic steering power, and it also imitates the foreign power steering pump. But because there is no air pressure and power to cooperate, and many designs are not advanced, at a speed of 70 yards, how much can it overload if you let it overtake.
In later generations, the same vehicle type, if overloading was not checked, could easily pull 15 tons, and the speed and performance after loading 15 tons would definitely surpass this 70-yard truck.
"Director Zhao, there is a difference between the trucks produced in Jicheng and the trucks I designed. What I want to build is a 12-meter large truck with a load capacity of at least 20 tons."
Luo Cheng said, of course, in later generations, if a 12-meter-long car includes the front end, the carriage will be 9.6 meters, and it will only be allowed to carry 17 tons. But how many drivers drive a 9-meter-6 carriage that only pulls 17 tons? It is very easy to pull a twenty-ton truck, and even if it is overloaded, the twenty-five-ton truck will not affect the performance at all.
The one I took out was bigger than the other person's, so why should the other person go first? Wrong~~ The car I produce is bigger and more powerful than the other party's. Why can't I independently develop it while the other party is designing and imitating it?
What is the purpose of counterfeiting? Isn’t it just to enable independent research and development in the future? This is clearly putting the cart before the horse, and Luo Cheng feels that there is something wrong with Director Zhao's ideological consciousness.
But if you really want to build a large truck, you really can’t do it just by relying on a car. As for the marine engines provided by Amado, Luo Cheng couldn't get them without declaring them.
Director Zhao was silent when he heard what Luo Cheng said. What is the concept of a twenty-ton truck? Although he had not been in the automobile industry before, he knew something about it. This was simply impossible. Luo Cheng was confused. The car developed by Jicheng had a load capacity of eight tons and could only drive seventy yards. The weight of the twenty tons of goods plus the weight of the vehicle body, what kind of engine should be used to make the vehicle move?
It is said above that if you watch Luo Cheng hit a wall once, you will understand what the sky is and the earth is thick. Director Zhao felt that this was when Luo Cheng hit the wall. If he really wanted to build the kind of truck he was talking about, he would not be a seventh-level engineer. It's not too much to get a third-level engineer.
