The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 14 Water Tank
Ma Yushan held his chin and said, "Let's discuss how to do it first, then I'll give you the blueprints in an hour, get the water tank and switches ready for you in the morning, install and debug for an hour and a half in the afternoon, and you can test it the rest of the time. If the test is effective today, we'll install it on a large scale tomorrow and install all the more than a dozen vehicles in your fleet."

Ma Yushan, Liu Hua and Section Chief Ge started to discuss how to install and design the truck with gestures.

"Where is this water tank?"

Section Chief Ge smiled and said, "Why not install it on top of your head? It's mainly for the summer, and it will keep the cab cooler if you install it on top of your head."

Liu Hua smiled and said, "But if the water runs out, we will have to sweat to add water. Besides, we can't just consider using tap water to add water. What if we run out of water in the wild and need to add water temporarily?"

Ma Yushan nodded: "My suggestion is to install it at the height of the carriage. It will be easier to add tap water if it is lower. If you are in the wild, you can get a bucket and a funnel to add water."

"good idea."

Ma Yushan took out a measuring tape from his pocket and began to measure the dimensions from front to back and from left to right. At the same time, he said to Liu Hua with a smile, "Boy, these are the details you need to learn. I always carry these commonly used tools in my pocket so they can be used at any time."

"It can be useful, but why can't you come up with such a good idea?" Chief Ge laughed and said, "Your apprentice didn't bring a measuring tape, but he came up with a good idea, and you are just taking advantage of it."

"So do you still want to install the water tank?"

After Ma Yushan memorized the dimensions, he said, "I estimate that even if it is a blueprint, it won't take long. This thing is simple and can be completed in half an hour, or at most an hour."

Section Chief Ge smiled and said, "I will apply to my leader right now and ask him to approve the personnel and materials. If he disagrees, I will stay in his office today and won't leave."

The worker boss is so arrogant when he speaks. If he were to push the past forty years, any worker who dared to say this would have been fired by the boss and would have been fired long ago.

Section Chief Ge took out his application and ran to the factory director's office. This is true flat management. Unlike modern corporate management, you have to apply to the logistics department first, and then pass it up layer by layer. To purchase a two-dollar ballpoint pen, you have to go through four or five procedures.

Upon learning that the people in the technical department had a way to solve the truck problem, Deputy Director Li, who was in charge of logistics, jumped for joy.

He was just worried because another large truck was scrapped in the factory. The transportation gap suddenly added a lot of pressure. How to solve the transportation pressure became a difficult problem.

These days, domestic heavy industry is underdeveloped, and the annual production of trucks is limited. Too many companies across the country are starving for food, not to mention the military, which is a big player. Even if you apply, you may not be able to get a truck even after three years.

Although solving the brake problem cannot solve his logistical pressure, it can at least prevent future trucks from being scrapped in similar accidents.

Li Huaide went to the Transportation Department in person, and after a detailed discussion, he found out that the problem was solved by the Equipment Group of the Technical Department.

Although the equipment group was not under his jurisdiction, Li Huaide still took the trouble to run to the equipment department again and wanted to review the drawings in person.

There are two meanings here. One is to show concern for subordinates, and the other is to want to share some credit in this matter.

Ma Yushan watched Liu Hua drawing the blueprints, while he pointed out the ideas beside him, and several other staff members of the equipment group were also making suggestions. Li Huaide walked into the office with his hands behind his back, and without talking about the problems, he started to praise: "Not bad, not bad, this is a good working atmosphere, with everyone working together, which shows that the power of our people is infinite."

Ma Yushan looked up and said perfunctorily, "Hey, Director Li is here."

"I looked at the work of my colleagues and heard that there is a way to solve the problem of truck brakes."

Ma Yushan nodded: "This is a solution that the newcomer in our department came up with, but it is very feasible. Ge Dapao has already applied for it, and it can be solved today, but the specific situation depends on the results of the experiment."

"Okay, okay." Li Huaide nodded with satisfaction: "If you can solve this big problem, I will commend you and give you a bonus."

But no one responded to Director Li. At this moment, everyone was concentrating on staring at the drawings in Liu Hua's hands, and no one was slacking off.

After the drawings came out, Ma Yushan took them to the workshop. Ge Laopao had already greeted the workshop director, and gave him two packs of cigarettes to make him say that he would fully cooperate.

The water tank was manufactured in less than an hour. From Liu Hua's aesthetic point of view, it was just a big, black and clumsy thing. It was connected with a sprinkler device and was completely useless except for its practicality. In the future market economy, any truck equipped with such a water tank would undoubtedly be deducted, and a car worth three hundred thousand yuan would have to be discounted by 10%.

Ge Laopao urged the technicians to install it quickly. He couldn't wait any longer and wanted to try out whether this water tank really worked.

Ma Yushan said mockingly, "Ge Lao Pao, can you understand something? We have been busy all morning. It is time for lunch. The emperor does not need hungry soldiers. The workers are doing hard work. If they install the water tank for you on an empty stomach, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

The welder was ready to weld and install the rack, but after hearing what Ma Yushan said, he hesitated again. He was indeed hungry, so he decided to be patient and just spend some time to finish the job.

"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Liu Hua said with a smile: "Stop for a while and take a break so that the next work will go more smoothly. Anyway, I will finish everything for you today, so it doesn't matter if it takes a little while."

Public anger is hard to offend.

Even though Ge Lao Pao was very anxious, he had to consider everyone's opinions, so he could only pretend to be relaxed and said, "Okay, let's have a meal and rest first, and then finish these tasks when we go to work in the afternoon."

After one o'clock, when everyone came to the truck again, they saw Ge Laopao squatting beside it, gesturing with his hands. It was estimated that he did not know how to weld, otherwise he would have started doing it himself.

The welder installed the rack skillfully, the fitter and the car mechanic installed the water tank, and after a simple debug and making sure there were no problems, they nodded to Ge Laopao.

The guy drove the car to the water room impatiently, filled the water tank with water using a rubber pipe, and then rushed to the scrap warehouse without stopping.

"Arrange for the stevedores to load my truck. Make sure it is full."

Liu Hua immediately stopped him and said, "Chief Ge, don't be so radical. First run the truck empty, then fill it halfway, and finally fill it up. Let's do it step by step. The experiment must also be scientific."
