The Prosperous Years of Siheyuan

Chapter 225 Minimalist Design
Taking Li Huaide into the confidential area, Chen Jisheng once again found Gong Li from the General Logistics Department.

"Let me say, Team Leader Chen, you are free. You let our designers do this?"

Facing the few simple drawings given by Chen Jisheng, Li Gong was a little frustrated.

Can this be considered industrial design?
In addition to the ready-made diesel engines, I am afraid that the carriage frame is more complicated than this design.

Wouldn't it be insulting to show such design drawings to military industry designers?
“Gong Li, how much does a vertical diesel water pump cost now?

How much does a 195 diesel engine cost? "

Without answering the ugly-looking Li Gong, Chen Jisheng asked two questions.

Market prices were obviously Li Gong's blind spot. He looked at Chen Jisheng and Li Gong was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Gong Li, a vertical diesel engine with a water pump usually costs [-] to [-] yuan. The price varies depending on the power.

An ordinary diesel engine costs about [-] yuan. "

Li Huaide, who knew the market price because the steel rolling mill had done it before, spoke up.

There is a big price difference between the products shipped from the factory and the products sold, and Li Huaide only gave a general idea.

But this doesn't matter to Gong Li. He is engaged in military industry and rarely involves price issues.

He said the price didn't matter to him, he only looked at the technology.

When it comes to projects or drawings, he is responsible for the modification, design, and supervision of production.

"I plan to set the price of the handcart at around [-] yuan, and the price of the diesel scooters at [-] to [-] yuan.

Now it seems that the diesel engine and vehicle structure still need to be optimized.

Didn’t you find Gong Li? "

As for the price, Li Gong was still unimpressed. After roughly looking at the blueprint on the desktop, the optimization was still possible.

He has never been exposed to designs that optimize for cost reduction.

After taking a closer look, he picked up a pen and paper and tried to optimize the design.

Li Gong started writing and painting, and Chen Jisheng was not idle either.

He asked Li Huaide to find paper and pen, and he began to draw a rough drawing according to his impression.

Soon Li Gong's drawings were completed. Li Huaide didn't know the technology, so Li Gong didn't give it to him.

Instead, he stood up, walked behind Chen Jisheng, and looked at the rough drawings he was still working on.

Seeing the drawings on the table, Li Gong frowned.

Two axles carry the diesel engine.

This kind of design can't even be described as rough, it's simply a joke.

It was the diesel engine that Chen Jisheng was painting that aroused Gong Li's interest.

What this person drew is not a design drawing, just an appearance drawing.

A vertical diesel engine was also drawn next to it for comparison. The simplified structure made Li Gong feel bright.

"Gong Li, can this car use tank springs for shock absorption?"

Knowing that Li Gong was behind him, he roughly finished the drawing.

Chen Jisheng picked up the drawing of the axle and the engine and asked about Gong Li.

This is the drawing of the Sanbengzi he designed.

He communicated with engineers and technicians at the steel rolling mill.

Spring steel shock absorption can only be used on the rear wheels. Shock absorption on the front wheels is a problem.

As for handrails, spring steel shock absorption is sufficient.

"Okay, isn't this a bit simple?"

Seeing Chen Jisheng conveniently draw the shock absorbers and wheels, Li Gong was speechless.

Things made from earth are more complicated than this.

In addition to the drive shaft, power, transmission, and shock absorption, these are all complete.

But it doesn't look like a car no matter how you look at it.

When the time comes for people to sit next to the engine, this thing will be somewhat difficult to handle.

"Gong Li, do you think the shape of this diesel engine is OK?"

Handing the simplified appearance diagram of the diesel engine to Engineer Li, Chen Jisheng did not discuss the simple structure with him.

Nowadays, increasing transportation capacity and reducing costs are the key.

According to tanks, the communes below cannot afford them.

Taming and shrinking also requires technology, and the degree of difficulty is not low.

Compared with the normal 195 diesel engine, the size of this one drawn by Chen Jisheng is reduced by at least one-third.

Compared with the one-meter-wide flywheel of a vertical diesel engine, Chen Jisheng's flywheel is [-] to [-] centimeters, which is much smaller.

“The internal structure is pretty much the same, it’s just that the structure of the diesel engine is reduced, and the material requirements are a little higher.

If the steel passes the test, it is possible to make it smaller. "

After hearing what Li Gong said, Chen Jisheng nodded.

I started drawing again on the paper, this time it was a boat.

"Look, Mr. Li, as long as we domesticate the 195 diesel engine, it will be of great use.

From handcarts, water pumps, to marine power, everything is fine.

We focus on the small agricultural machinery market.

Ask a technician to design these drawings and make a prototype in the next two days. "

"Team Leader Chen, are we not doing our job properly?"

Li Gong looked at the blueprint in front of him, and he felt that optimization, domestication, and improvement were not difficult.

But these engineers and technicians in the steel rolling mill serve the Taituo project.

Team Leader Chen looks down on people who make small agricultural machinery.

"Li Gong, there is no appropriation for a project that is too delayed.

How do we sustain it?

A project uses a lot of equipment and people.

Without appropriation, we can’t eat the steel rolling mill, right?
Self-reliance is a prerequisite, and training workers is a means.

Facilitating agricultural construction is another purpose.

At least kill three birds with one stone, can't you do that?

You think, if we build a production line and produce [-] diesel engines a year, what do we need? "

To convince Gong Li, what is needed is data.

But sometimes, the prospects are okay.

As soon as Chen Jisheng said it, Li Gong knew the purpose.

According to this statement, this matter has to be done.

"Miniatization, simplification, power must be guaranteed, right?"

Chen Jisheng's general design ideas are also clear at a glance.

Li Gong spoke according to his understanding. When Chen Jisheng nodded, he picked up the drawing and left.

"Let's go find Lao Qiu again."

Seeing that Li Gong had taken over the task, Chen Jisheng didn't stay in the confidential area any longer.

After returning to his office with Li Huaide, I called Lao Qiu from Shigang.

Use the phone in the confidential area as little as possible. The phone line there must be monitored.

After all, the diesel engine issue is not something that can be brought to the forefront. If the higher-ups find out about it, it will be troublesome.

With Chen Jisheng's greeting, Lao Qiu arrived quickly.And when you enter the house, you just complain.

"I said Team Leader Chen, you have nothing to do here.

I, Lao Qiu, was at Shigang, but I was stabbed in the back by the steel mills in the Northeast.

Those words are so ugly, do you need me to learn from them? "

It only provides technology but not people, and it also requires one-tenth of the renovation funds.

Lao Qiu was scolded a lot during this period, both on the phone and on the telegram.

What's more, some people came on the train and pointed at their noses and yelled curses.

But the situation is stronger than the people. Although he was scolded, the money was still received.

Those who scold people are also knowledgeable in the market. After the scolding is over, the money should still be paid in place.

Shi Gang's open-hearth steelmaking method is coveted by many steel mills.

Special steel has many uses, such as spring steel, which is in short supply at major heavy duty trucks.

Only those with serious brain problems would not want Shi Gang's ready-made technology.

"You go ahead.

I think we at Shigang should pay attention to the technological transformation of Northeast Steel Plant. Can you implement it? "

Seeing Team Leader Chen who was directly committing evil acts, Lao Qiu immediately became frightened.

The technology of the open hearth furnace is simple, and when the various steel mills learned about it, he, Lao Qiu, went to the Northeast, fearing that he would be beaten with a sap.

Team leader Chen is also a bad person. He only provides open-hearth furnace technology and does not provide special steel formulas and parameters.

This is to rip off the recipe.

Lao Qiu shuddered as he recalled the memories of the Northeast Steel Factory.

If there is no big event in the future, I will definitely not go to the Northeast again.

This routine is so annoying.

If you keep trying to protect yourself, you will be put in a sack and beaten by those people.

"You are like this, what good can you do?"

After giving a thumbs up gesture, Lao Qiu knew something was wrong.

No matter what it is, what Lao Qiu likes most is good things.

"It's really a good thing..."

After briefly talking about the operation of the diesel engine, the expression on Lao Qiu's face became wonderful.

“We won’t let the ministry know about this deal.

Can Shigang and the steel rolling mill work together privately?

The stockyards of Shigang, the coal yards and mines below all lack small diesel vehicles like this.

There is no need to go through the ministry. With our relationship with Lao Qiu, we can sell over [-] yuan a year. "

Compared with the leaders of the steel rolling mill, Lao Qiu is a real doer.

As soon as Chen Jisheng said it in general, Lao Qiu knew the purpose.

Compared with human and animal power, mechanical power not only saves money, but is also more efficient.

Lao Qiu immediately hit the key point in Chen Jisheng's design, which was cheap.

Animal power requires the cooperation of manpower. The stockyards now use horse-drawn carriages, and most of the time cars are just decorations.

The two-horse cart only weighed about two thousand catties, and Lao Qiu had seen a handcart before, weighing three to four thousand catties.

The two look similar, but their efficiency is different.

Animal power will tire, but diesel engines will not.

Under the same labor cost, it is obvious that machinery is more efficient.

Nowadays, the transportation of working surfaces in many coal yards basically relies on manpower.

With small mechanical transport capacity, output will also be greatly increased.

This is an interrelated circle. Lao Qiu knew the elegant meaning of the string song after hearing it.

I immediately took aim at this deal.

"Fuck off!
You are really thinking about good things.

Are you really going to worry about it if the ministry investigates it? "

Lao Qiu's idea was nothing more than to exchange raw materials with factories and mining enterprises.

According to Lao Qiu's opinion, his side is fine.

But the rolling mill is in trouble.

Such a large amount of unplanning is enough to affect the planning and deployment.

It would be impossible for the ministry to pursue the matter and not take it seriously.

Chen Jisheng, the advocate, will inevitably suffer in the end.

“Let me just say this, we still focus on benefiting our farmer brothers.

I said Team Leader Chen, please be careful when reporting.

There are a lot of related households below, and you have reported too much to the top, what the hell shall we do? "

When it comes to Shigang's raw material rationing, Lao Qiu's shameless face is clearly revealed.

Lao Qiu's statement gave Chen Jisheng a reminder.

I picked up the pen and paper and drew a truck on the construction site.

I sketched out the rough lines and handed them to Lao Qiu for him to take a look at.

"Why don't you say you are capable!
Isn't this exactly the feed truck our factory needs?

This thing, if put on tractor tires, is just right in the tunnel of the mine. "

Chen Jisheng has actually seen the monkey version of the feed truck. It is a 195 diesel engine, connected to a flipping device, and people sit next to or on top of the diesel engine.

This is not difficult for Li Gong.

Now the only difficulty for the rolling mills is the tires.

Rubber is also in short supply, but it is available in Java.

Huo Sheng also has close exchanges with Southeast Asia.

If you do it a little bit and make a few big deals, you can make enough money in the next few years.

Moreover, it does not cost much foreign exchange to operate from Java.

It's just that there are some problems in getting in touch right now.

"Let's have a rough discussion. After the prototype comes out in two days, we can talk to Chen Chu."

The first machine department is also a hurdle that cannot be overcome. Leaving aside Chen Chu, it is not a big problem.

But if the ministry finds out, they will definitely get angry, and it will be hard to handle if they pursue the matter.

Therefore, Chen Chu must be notified.

"Team Leader Chen, you have a good reputation, please don't tell the truth to the department.

Which industry is not short of supplies now?

You are telling the truth here, the Ministry does not know what can be done successfully? "

Listening to Lao Qiu's instructions, Chen Jisheng smiled helplessly, as supplies were in short supply.

This is actually still lacking in the industry.

The current Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. is not much better than the five small schools in later generations.

If the leaders could know the future steel output of Hebei Province, they would laugh out of their dreams.
