60s: I have a store

Chapter 287 Nylon
Zhou Yimin had not expected that a seat belt made of cloth would be so fragile.

At this moment, I remembered what Uncle Zhang said, that the fiber factory in Sijiu City has developed nylon. Isn't that the best material for making seat belts?
Even the seat belts of later generations are mainly made of nylon.

"Captain Li, don't worry, the materials will definitely be improved. I will go to the factory director for help first." Zhou Yimin assured.

After saying that, he left quickly.

After seeing Zhou Yimin leave, Zhou Dafu asked cautiously: "Master Li, the car glass is broken like this, what should we do?"

Seeing the Yellow River brand truck in such a broken state, I felt so heartbroken that I couldn't breathe smoothly.

Although this truck is not his exclusive one, it is also an important asset of the factory.

Li Feng also came back to his senses and looked at the glass of his own truck in front of him. Glass fragments were scattered all over the ground. Those were not pieces of glass, but Li Feng's heart!

Normally, I would feel heartbroken when something goes wrong, let alone now.

"It's broken like this, there's no way to repair it, so I have to replace the whole thing." Li Feng said with a sad heart.

Fortunately, the factory still had stock of truck glass, otherwise they would have to dismantle the glass of other cars and replace it.

After Zhou Yimin came to the factory director's office.

Seeing that Director Hu was still working, he asked for help: "Director, the sample of this safety belt has been manufactured and tested, and the effect is very ideal. However, due to the problem of the material itself, it cannot be considered a successful manufacturing."

Director Hu was able to reach this position, and he was not ignorant of the ways of the world. He immediately said, "Since you said so, there must be a way to solve it. Tell me and see if I can help."

"I heard that the fiber factory in Sijiu City has a new material called nylon. If it is used to make seat belts, it can greatly improve safety." Zhou Yimin revealed his cards.

Nylon is a term for polyamide fiber. Nylon is the first synthetic fiber in the world. Nylon was developed by scientist Carothers and a research team under his leadership.

The emergence of nylon has brought a new look to textiles. Its synthesis is a major breakthrough in the synthetic fiber industry and also a very important milestone in polymer chemistry.

Polyamide is mainly used for synthetic fibers. Its most prominent advantage is that its wear resistance is higher than all other fibers. It is 10 times higher than cotton and 20 times higher than wool. Adding a little polyamide fiber to blended fabrics can greatly improve its wear resistance. When stretched to 3-6%, the elastic recovery rate can reach 100%; it can withstand tens of thousands of folds and bends without breaking.

After hearing this, Director Hu felt a bit overwhelmed, as he had no close relationship with the leaders of the fiber factory. If the safety belt was to have a great effect, he would have no choice but to risk his reputation.

He then said, "Yimin, you said you had just tested it. Can we test it again now? I want to ask the leaders in the factory to take a look together."

Hearing is not as good as seeing. Without seeing any concrete results, he couldn't ask his old leader for support.

"No problem, I'll go get Captain Li to prepare for another test." Zhou Yimin said nonchalantly.

Director Hu did not call all the leaders to the Transportation Department. He only called two deputy directors and the secretary, a total of four people, to the Transportation Department.

On the way here, Director Hu gave them a brief talk.

The secretary and others were very interested in the seat belts Zhou Yimin mentioned, and it was a great achievement.

After arriving at the Transportation Department, I saw Li Feng and the dummy who were already prepared.

Li Feng wanted to use his truck to continue the test, but Zhou Yimin denied it, saying that the leader had come to see it in person, and in order to get better results, he must change to another truck. Li Feng was already heartbroken, and he was almost suffocated by the glass. If another piece of glass was broken, he would probably be scolded by the section chief.

However, what Zhou Yimin said does make sense. In order to have a better comparison effect, we can only change to another truck for testing.

The two tests were completed quickly.

Everyone present was not stupid and understood the role that seat belts played. If they could be promoted nationwide, the safety of truck drivers would definitely be greatly improved.

The secretary suddenly asked, "Yimin, can this seat belt also be used on a car?"

"That's right, Secretary. Seat belts can be installed on cars and can greatly improve safety. They can even be used on airplanes," Zhou Yimin replied.

He didn't expect the secretary to have such a sharp vision. Just by taking a quick look, he was able to draw inferences and tell the other functions of seat belts.

The people present were shocked again. They didn't expect that this seat belt was so widely used that it could even be used in cars and airplanes.

We also understand the importance of seat belts. Everyone has their own little ideas, which is to install seat belts in all the cars in the factory. This will be a great guarantee for everyone's safety.

"Yimin, I will help you solve the request you just raised to me as soon as possible." Director Hu said at this time.

If he can help solve the problem with materials, he will definitely get a share of the credit and he won't be able to escape.

Zhou Yimin thanked him: "Thank you, Director."

Director Hu took Zhou Yimin to the office, leaving only the heartbroken Li Feng and Zhou Dafu.

There was no other way, the two could only start cleaning up the mess, while Li Feng also had to find a way to deal with his leader, the section chief. After breaking two pieces of truck glass in a row, he was bound to get a scolding.

Director Hu and others discussed with Zhou Yimin whether the production process of this safety belt is complicated and costly, and what kind of troubles will arise if it is promoted nationwide.

Before they knew it, it was time to get off work, and Director Hu and his colleagues didn't want to let Zhou Yimin leave.

However, Zhou Yimin has been on a business trip for so many days and has not yet visited his grandparents since returning.

When Director Hu and his colleagues heard this, they had no choice but to let Zhou Yimin go.

He called his old leader and told him the whole story, without using any exaggeration to describe it because of his contribution.

After hearing what Director Hu said, the old leader paused for a moment, then said, "Take Zhou Yimin to the fiber factory tomorrow. I will greet you in advance."

It is really as good as what Director Hu said, it is indeed worth mass production. There are many cars abroad, and they pay more attention to safety. If it can be exported, it can also generate foreign exchange.

As for China, it cannot be said that it is useless, it is just used less frequently.

After get off work, Zhou Yimin rode his bicycle directly to Zhoujiazhuang.

When they arrived at a remote place, Zhou Yimin took out a lot of things from the store. Some of them were given to the villagers, and some were given to the grandparents, so that they could also have some seafood.
