Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 1168 Laser Welding Technology

Pete hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "For the sake of the boss, eight thousand is eight thousand."

Ten minutes later, Niu Xiaoqiang finished the formalities and handed over the car keys to Xie Jun: "You drive the car back first and put it away. I will find someone to take you to apply for a driver's license tomorrow."

Chinese driver's licenses can be used in the United States. Zhou Hongbao helped Xie Jun go abroad. In addition, Niu Xiaoqiang also asked Zhou Hongbao to help Xie Jun apply for a driver's license.

Zhou Hongbao still has a lot of face in Qingjiang, such a small matter is nothing to him.

Xie Jun agreed, and opened the car door happily.He once drove a truck in his hometown. Although he didn't take the driver's license test at that time, he learned the driving skills at home.

Niu Xiaoqiang was a little worried that Xie Jun's skills were not good enough, but after seeing Xie Jun's skillful shift operation, he was relieved.

The two drove back to the residential area together. Niu Xiaoqiang gave the walkie-talkie purchased in advance to Xie Jun: "In the future, we will use the walkie-talkie to contact you. When you have nothing to do, you can stay in the house and observe the surrounding situation by the way. Is there anyone who is hostile to me?"

Xie Jun nodded, and put the walkie-talkie into his pocket: "Please rest assured, boss, I will definitely work hard."

Niu Xiaoqiang thought for a while and reminded: "As for the house I live in, unless I let you in, you'd better not come in and out at will."

"Well, I know."

When meeting Caroline before, Xie Jun found several pairs of women's leather shoes and two pairs of women's slippers in Niu Xiaoqiang's living room. At a glance, he knew that Niu Xiaoqiang was definitely not living alone.As for who Niu Xiaoqiang lives with, that's not something he should inquire about.

Niu Xiaoqiang stopped talking, nodded and walked into the house, continuing to immerse himself in research.

Before I knew it, another 20 days had passed.This afternoon, when Niu Xiaoqiang was drawing the blueprint, his satellite phone rang suddenly.

After Niu Xiaoqiang answered the phone, he heard Li Fuyou's voice: "Secretary Niu, I'm Li Fuyou. I've done what you told me."

Niu Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment before speaking: "Li Fuyou, I only gave you ten thousand dollars, are you sure the money is enough?"

Niu Xiaoqiang once told Li Fuyou to help him build ten small planes after completing the design work.In Niu Xiaoqiang's view, the cost of ten small planes would be hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. Unexpectedly, Li Fuyou didn't ask him for money halfway, but now he suddenly said that he had completed the task. He was quite surprised.

"Secretary Niu, although the plane I built is very crude, it definitely meets your original requirements. It is precisely because of the simple structure that the money you gave me is completely enough."

Niu Xiaoqiang snorted, "Where are you now?"

"I'm in the factory."

Niu Xiaoqiang thought for a while, and then said: "Well, I'll go find you to get the plane after dark. As for now, I'm a bit busy and can't get away."

Li Fuyou hummed: "No problem."

After hanging up the phone, Niu Xiaoqiang sorted out his thoughts, and then continued to immerse himself in drawing drawings.He kept working until Karina came home, and he didn't stop.

Kailinna walked into Niu Xiaoqiang's room after dinner. Seeing Niu Xiaoqiang sitting in front of the table in a daze, she couldn't help asking: "Did you encounter any problems?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled wryly and said, "I have indeed encountered a problem, and it is still a big one."

Karina hesitated: "Didn't you discuss this issue with Professor Bona?"

Niu Xiaoqiang shook his head: "I have discussed it with him a long time ago, but Professor Bona can't solve this problem."

Kailinna knew Niu Xiaoqiang's strength and Professor Bona's level very well. She was surprised when she heard this remark: "What is the problem that even the two of you can't solve?"

Niu Xiaoqiang replied very seriously: "It's laser welding technology."

"Laser welding technology?"

"Well, this technology is currently only mastered by a few companies. Professor Bona and I have never been involved in this field, so we have no way to solve this problem."

Kailinna patted Niu Xiaoqiang's shoulder lightly, and comforted: "You are so smart, you can work hard to study it, maybe you will be able to solve the problem soon, don't worry about it now, let's go to dinner quickly."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded, got up and followed Kailinna downstairs.

While eating, he thought to himself: If you want to increase the production speed, body welding is a problem that must be solved. At present, laser welding technology is undoubtedly the best choice, but this technology is a bit difficult. I'm afraid it can't be solved, so the domestic automobile production progress will definitely not be able to keep up.

At present, the Asia Machinery Factory has completed the workshop renovation project, and is verifying and trial-producing the high-end technologies provided by Sam, such as the V8 engine.

According to the current information feedback, Asia Machinery Factory has initially mastered the V8 engine manufacturing technology, and only a few details need to be adjusted and improved.Once the workers have fully mastered the relevant technologies, the Asian Machinery Factory can officially start large-scale production.

In Niu Xiaoqiang's plan, Asia Machinery Factory will set up two production departments, one responsible for the production of Fang's heavy trucks, and the other responsible for the production of Packard vehicles.After the manufacturing technology gradually matures, Niu Xiaoqiang plans to create the Fang's car brand in China.

The plan formulated by Niu Xiaoqiang needs sufficient production capacity to support it. Although the Asia Machinery Factory now has more than 1000 skilled technicians and is training new technicians through the technical school, but to support Niu Xiaoqiang's long-term plan, only this It is far from enough to have some technicians. Only a highly automated automobile production line can meet the relevant needs.

Niu Xiaoqiang still has not completed the design work, because a complete automobile production line is a very large and complex system engineering, involving many technologies.

Niu Xiaoqiang can solve some of these techniques with his own clever mind, but he can't do anything about some techniques.The laser welding technology he just mentioned to Karina is the biggest obstacle.

The main work of the automobile production line is to assemble the spare parts of each part, and welding is required in many places.Whether the body of a car is safe or not is closely related to the quality of the welding process.

At present, automobile manufacturers all over the world have not realized laser welding, but use manual welding to complete related work.However, according to Professor Boehner, many related companies are conducting research in this area, and Ford is one of them.

Niu Xiaoqiang's ambition is very big. He wants to finish this work before all competitors, and achieve cornering overtaking in the automatic production of automobiles.
