Chapter 44 Mechanical Drawing
Hou Guomin's initiative to approach Jiang Hui made his work much smoother.

This expert, who is like the sweeping monk in Shaolin Temple, has much more profound mapping skills than Jiang Hui.

Especially after giving some size requirements and various boundary conditions of the drawings, Hou Guomin's drawing speed is twice as fast as Jiang Hui.

This is definitely good news.

As long as the structures of the main parts are determined and technicians from various supporting factories can be involved in improving some details, the overall speed will be worth looking forward to.

Jiang Hui spent the first day after becoming Jiang Lianluo in a wonderful mood and worked overtime, which was a rare occasion.

Because my father-in-law said to wait for him, but he hasn't come yet.

I guess the meeting isn't over yet.

In state-owned enterprises of this era, ordinary employees rarely work, but leaders rarely leave work on time.

"You two go home first, no need to wait for me."

Seeing that Hou Guomin and Chen Chenxing were still busy in the conference room and had no intention of leaving get off work, Jiang Hui reminded them.

He is not the kind of person who forces others to work overtime with him.

"The task of upgrading BJ212 is very heavy. Starting tomorrow, I will bring some clothes for replacement and live directly in the office."

"Anyway, the weather is hot now, so we don't have to worry about having no place to rest."

After Hou Guomin said this, Chen Chenxing immediately followed up and said, "Master, everyone is looking at you now. We need to finalize the plan as soon as possible and produce the prototype. This is the most important thing."

"I don't have anything to do when I get home from get off work anyway, so I can just stay in the conference room with the waiting worker. It'll be nice to have someone to keep me company."

Jiang Hui: ...

Do you want it to be so rolled?

You want to live in the office, but I don’t!

I have a lovely wife waiting for me at home.

"Then you guys can handle it yourself. I'll leave with Professor Zhu later."

What Hou Guomin and Chen Chenxing said was correct, and Jiang Hui also wanted someone to help draw the blueprint as soon as possible.

Without the help of a computer, drawing by hand would be too time-consuming.

Even if you paint very quickly, it still takes a long time to complete.

Especially when it comes to chassis-related parts, there are dozens of drawings to be drawn for just the subframe.

Moreover, these pictures cannot be drawn on A3 or A4 paper, but require A1 or even A0 paper.

I threw the paper on the conference table and leaned over it to draw. After finishing one picture, my whole waist felt sore.

Drawing board, pencils of different grades, erasers, T-squares, triangles...

Many engineers of later generations are probably already unfamiliar with various drawing tools.

But nowadays, in all walks of life in China, as long as it involves mapping, they are basically indispensable.

This is especially true for machinery-related industries.

Sometimes it takes you several days to draw a large assembly drawing.

The key is that after drawing it, if you need to modify it, you may not be able to do it directly, and you may need to draw it again.

That level of pain is definitely very challenging.

Those who have studied "Mechanical Drawing" should have a deep understanding of this.

Seeing that Hou Guomin and Chen Chenxing were actively involved in the map-making project, Jiang Hui didn't say anything else.

Fortunately, Zhu Jiansheng didn't make him wait too long and appeared in the office again.

"I just talked to Director Zheng and wasted some time. Let's talk while we walk."

Zhu Jiansheng is in a good mood now. As one of the few professors in the Department of Vehicle Engineering at Capital University of Technology, he is considered to be the one who has the final say.

However, there are still differences between teaching and research in universities and in enterprises.

The funds provided by the school or the ministry are unlikely to support Zhu Jiansheng in implementing many of his designs.

Take BJ212 for example. Even though Zhu Jiansheng had previously led his team in school to complete the design work of the new generation of products independently, there was no chance to produce it.

But it’s different when working with Capital Automobile Manufacturing.

Taking this opportunity, the strength and influence of the Vehicle Engineering Department of Capital Institute of Technology can be further enhanced.

After the department head retires next year, he will have every chance to take over.

The most important thing is that once this project is successful, he will become famous in the Ministry of First Machine Building.

There will definitely be many leaders visiting at that time, and his name as the main person in charge will inevitably be remembered by many people.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In order to implement all this, there are definitely many things that need to be discussed with Jiang Hui.

After the two got on their bicycles, they didn't pedal very fast, but instead moved slowly along with the flow of traffic, which made it more convenient for them to chat.

"Xiao Jiang, as a liaison officer, many eyes are now focused on you."

"As for the upgrade of BJ212, I think the design department and the technical department can only provide limited help in vehicle design."

"Do you have anything specific in mind?"

Zhu Jiansheng had already witnessed Jiang Hui's professional abilities before.

In many areas, Jiang Hui's ability is stronger than that of a teacher like himself.

Therefore, when discussing professional and technical issues, Zhu Jiansheng now has a completely equal attitude.

Anyway, Jiang Hui is his student and his son-in-law, and he has no son, so Zhu Jiansheng doesn't care even if Jiang Hui steals his limelight.

Zhu Jiansheng can even make some sacrifices in order to make Jiang Hui more famous and get promoted and get a raise faster.

"Dad, after it was confirmed that I would be assigned to the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, I actually started thinking about upgrading the BJ212."

"Now I have a complete design plan in my mind, whether it is a redesign of the exterior, an upgrade of the engine and gearbox, or a comprehensive upgrade of the chassis and interior and exterior."

"By then, the appearance of the new generation BJ212 will surpass the international mainstream level, and its performance in all aspects will not be inferior to the international mainstream technology."

“Some of the local parts designs can even lead the world.”

"In the next ten years, the second-generation BJ212 will not lag behind."

If other people said such big words, Zhu Jiansheng would definitely not want to listen.

Given China's current level of automobile industry, how can it be easy to produce a vehicle comparable to the international advanced level in a short period of time?

It is even impossible.

But when Jiang Hui said this, Zhu Jiansheng did not refute.

After all, when Jiang Hui chose to develop 4MT as his graduation project topic, he was slapped in the face once.

"If you really have this idea, then you should draw the outline of the appearance as soon as possible."

"Then we will try to arrange for personnel to make a scaled-down model as soon as possible, and let the factory and the First Ministry of Machine Building evaluate it first."

"This will allow us to carry out the next stage of design work more smoothly."

"Otherwise, if your exterior is not finalized, it will be difficult to determine the interior and exterior decoration, and the upgrade of other parts will be affected to some extent."

As a professional automotive talent, Zhu Jiansheng also has some understanding of matters related to vehicle design.
