Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 278 Everything is slow, but a slap in the face is fast
Chen Dazhi's face was sullen: "Look at you, you're already an adult, but you're still so stupid every day."

"Why are you in such a hurry? It doesn't matter if you're late or not. Work is important."

While talking,

Chen Dazhi also folded the Liberation cap on the left side of Chen Luyang's head and took it off.

I was fine, but my ears are now red from the cold!

Chen Luyang grinned: "Isn't it because I'm worried that my dad will be hungry~"

"Your little fat was fed by my mother bite by bite. If you become skinny due to hunger in my hands, my mother will punish me when I get home."

"Get lost, you're so frivolous every day!" Chen Dazhi snorted out of habit.

"Let's go, Dad. If we go too late, there won't be enough room in the old restaurant."

After saying that, the father and son got on their bicycles and headed towards the old restaurant.

Both Chen's father and son are carnivores.

Plus, gentlemen are not careful with their money.

After entering the restaurant, Chen Luyang and Chen Dazhi ordered a bottle of liquor, and Kuku ordered several dishes.

Chen Dazhi is thinking about his wife.

After ordering the dishes, I also bought a roast chicken and pig's trotters, thinking that when Feng Jiuxiang came back in the evening and was hungry, there would be something to eat at home.

"Dad, let's do one?"

Chen Luyang happily picked up the bottle and filled Chen Dazhi's glass.

Although the ordered dishes have not arrived yet, the plate of peanuts and a dish of small salted radishes on the table are enough to keep us going.

"Go one!"

Chen Dazhi happily held up the cup and clinked it with his son.

A sip of wine into the stomach
Comfortable!

Chen Luyang looked at Chen Dazhi's happy expression and felt a little guilty.

Usually, he either drinks with Song Liaosha and the others, or tries every means to get close to the female manager.

Come to think of it, I've only had a few drinks alone with my dad.

"Dad, is one bottle enough? Can we have another one?"

"Just one bottle! You have to go to work tomorrow and a bunch of people are waiting for you."

Chen Dazhi waved his hand and took a small sip of the wine in the glass, which tasted particularly delicious.

"Okay, then, when we get to the weekend, we'll have a good meal together."

Chen Luyang wanted to go home and read for a while in the evening, so it was better to drink as little as possible.

"How's your review going?" Chen Dazhi put down his wine glass and asked with concern.

Since the Italian engineers came,
Chen Luyang would stay up late at home reading books every night.

Several times when Chen Dazhi got up at night, he would see his son lying at the table reading and studying.

"My review wasn't very good." Chen Luyang smiled bitterly.

"How come it's not so good? Don't you read books all day long?" Chen Dazhi was surprised.

"All I read were books about car manufacturing. Those Italian representatives were either talking about physics one day or materials the next. If I didn't learn what they were talking about first, I wouldn't be able to translate it at all."

Chen Luyang is indeed studying every day now.

But what I learn every day has nothing to do with the college entrance examination.

Then the review is not very good!
"Thank goodness for the special enrollment program, otherwise I really wouldn't have gotten into this university."

Chen Luyang picked up a piece of peanuts and felt a lot of emotion.

In a person’s life, faith comes slowly, money comes slowly, retribution comes slowly… in short, everything comes slowly.

It just so happens that the slap in the face comes so quickly.

Snap!
Before that, he was sitting in front of Chen's parents on the kang, vowing that he would get into university on his own ability.

As a result, when the Italian engineer arrived, I had to put the college entrance examination on hold, not to mention reviewing.

Chen Dazhi wondered, "Shouldn't the things in your subjects be interconnected?"

"You've already studied the advanced aspects, but aren't you also good at the basics?"

Chen Luyang sighed: "The key is that his stuff is too high-end and not down-to-earth!"

Everyone says professional, professional, professional!

Major and introduction have always been two different concepts.

Just like a big tree with many branches growing out of it.

The college entrance examination is about tree stumps.

What I am studying every day now is tree branches.

It won’t test you on things you already know.

It tests me, I don’t know how to...

Chen Dazhi was puzzled: "But weren't you studying well all day before?"

Chen Luyang sighed, "That was the past. If he doesn't review that knowledge repeatedly, he'll easily forget it."

"There are so many things to do every day now... Just taking care of Madagascar and Ebe Wataru Ichiro every day, I feel like I don't have enough energy."

"I was really worried that if I made a mistake in translation, the workers would have worked in vain."

Looking at Chen Luyang's tired face and the stubble on his chin, Chen Dazhi felt distressed.

"Come, son, eat some more meat to replenish your body."

He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Chen Luyang's bowl.

Recalling that Chen Luyang said before that he likes to eat lean meat,
Chen Dazhi's rough and strong hands picked up a pair of chopsticks and carefully separated the fat and lean parts of the braised pork, and put the lean parts into Chen Luyang's bowl.

“You have to be able to withstand pressure at work, but don’t put too much pressure on yourself!”

"Where have you come from?"

"There will be more difficult work in the future. If I don't adjust myself, I'll be exhausted before I finish the work."

Seeing Chen Dazhi's worried and distressed look, Chen Luyang grinned and said:

"Don't worry, Dad. I know all this."

"I have a big heart!"

"I can't let myself get tired alone. I have to find a way to make Jiangbian Wataru and Mark Polobo tired with me!"

Let's work together, no one should be idle!

Chen Dazhi's heart trembled.

"Let's show some mercy and don't scare the Italians and Japanese back to their country, or they won't work for us anymore."

Chen Luyang smiled tenderly: "Don't worry, Dad. If they dare to leave, I will be the first to break their legs."

This meal didn't take long.

Both the father and the son are the type who will eat anything delicious they see.

In addition, Chen Luyang has to read books when he gets home at night.

After the dishes were served, the two of them ate and drank, and cleaned the table in just over half an hour. After finishing the wine in their glasses, they took the cooked food home.

Chen Luyang said "let everyone get tired with him", and he actually did so.

The specific practice is very simple!
Meeting.

Although there is no problem with holding meetings in the machinery factory, it involves cooperation between two different countries after all.

If you don't hold a meeting every day and meet to understand each other's work progress, who can feel at ease?

Wataru Ebe is fine.

He has worked in the machinery factory for more than half a year and has become accustomed to the people and work pace in the factory.

He showed up on time for every meeting and reported on the research progress as required. But Marco Polo and his team were not like that.

These Italian engineers are accustomed to a more flexible way of working and like to have more freedom in the creative stage.

I am very disgusted with this way of holding meetings at fixed locations.

The first few times they could still go and listen lazily, but later no one was willing to go, so Marco Polo simply went to the meeting himself.

this morning,

Marco Polo and Ximendarada had just finished their breakfast.
Chen Luyang appeared in the workshop again with a familiar smile and a soft Italian accent, informing them that a meeting would be held in the conference room at 10 o'clock.

Marco Polo collapsed and uttered a series of curses.

"Are these people clocks? Are they machines? Why do they always have meetings at 10 o'clock?!"

Amidst the cursing,

Marco Polo, with disheveled hair, faced the wall and talked madly for more than ten minutes before he walked towards the meeting room with dragging steps and a look of resistance written all over his body.

At this time, everyone in the machinery factory was also angry.

Xiao Wu didn't know how many times he looked at his watch, cursing:
"Is this Italian guy unreliable? He's always late!"

"If you delay any longer, it will be lunchtime!"

Cao Qinghang sat very steadily.

He raised his hands to rub his eyes, stretched his hands toward the sky, yawned, and said:
"Wait, it's not easy for the engineer to come all the way here!"

was saying,

Marco Polo walked in wearing a liberation cap.

Originally, Marco Polo himself had a hat, but for some reason, he became extremely curious when he saw the Liberation Cap.

At least Chen Luyang took him to a state-owned store to buy one, and he carried it with him wherever he went every day.

It seems to be an expression of protest against the inhumane form of work such as holding meetings.

Marco Polo's right hand kept pulling at the ear of his liberation cap.

Play it, pluck it,
It's just like that girl who has nothing better to do and sits there fiddling with her braids, which is extremely annoying to everyone in the machinery factory.

Just as Marco Polo was about to say a few perfunctory words as usual, there was a knock on the door.

"Engineer Cao, the roof panels are ready."

A worker knocked on the door and walked in hurriedly.

Upon hearing the news, the originally dull meeting room suddenly became lively.

They have been waiting for so many days, and finally the real thing has come out!
But before Cao Qinghang and the others could be happy, the worker said, "But the shape of the roof sheet is off, and the prototype roof trial has failed."

Failed?
"Go and see!"

Cao Qinghang and others' pupils shrank, they stood up and went to the workshop to check the situation.

Marco Polo watched Cao Qinghang and others stand up like watching a play, thinking that the meeting was over for today.

But the next moment, after Chen Luyang told him the news that the roof prototype had failed,

Marco Polo clenched his hands into small cones in astonishment.

"Our designs are all calculated based on scientific numerical values. How could the prototype fail?"

Marco Polo could no longer sit still.

"Where is the thing? I'll go check it out."

Now,

Mark Polobo followed Chen Luyang and the others and quickly walked towards the production workshop.

……

At this time in the production workshop
A group of people gathered around the machine tool, looking at the several car shells mounted on it with serious expressions.

The roof panels of these car shells are bumpy, wrinkled or out of shape, and are completely different from the smooth and silky appearance in the models and design drawings.

"How could this happen?" Cao Qinghang asked with a frown.

"We initially thought it was a production error, but the same thing happened after we produced several batches in a row."

The director of the production workshop said solemnly, "Our stamping equipment's processing capacity is insufficient. It's difficult to produce this kind of double-curved roofline with the current production equipment and processing technology."

After hearing the workshop director say this, the atmosphere in the workshop froze.

Chen Luyang has been going to the production workshop every day recently and is very familiar with the production environment and equipment here.

The metal stamping process currently used in machinery factories mainly uses stamping dies to press metal sheets to form parts of various parts of the car body.

This stamping process is easy to manufacture relatively simple shapes, such as flat surfaces or body parts with small bending angles. However, for the double-curved roof design, which requires the sheet to be bent in multiple directions and achieve a very precise shape, this is not easy!

Chen Luyang has recently read many professional books on physics, advanced mathematics and chemistry.

So just looking at the outline of this car, you can tell that it is caused by the limitations of the processing capabilities of existing stamping equipment, mold design and the mechanical properties of metal materials.

"How could this happen..." Marco Polo frowned.

Cao Qinghang and the others didn't understand, but Chen Luyang heard it clearly.

Although his practical ability is not good, fortunately his theoretical ability has improved recently.

Chen Luyang looked at the production workshop director and asked, "Can we improve the forming technology and temperature control?"

Looking at the production director's gaze, Chen Luyang said:

"For example, we can try to change the way the metal sheet of the roof panel is stressed, gradually stretching it to ensure that the sheet can be evenly stressed in multiple directions. In this way, we can avoid these large wrinkles and irregular shapes as much as possible."

"Alternatively, heating technology can be used during part of the stamping process to heat the sheet to a suitable temperature, reducing the material's hardness and forming resistance, making it easier to form complex curved surfaces."

Cao Qinghang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Chen Luyang with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

I never expected Chen Luyang to say these words.

"These are good ideas, and we have considered them all."

The production director fully affirmed Chen Luyang's suggestions.

"But the best solution at the moment is to upgrade production equipment and develop more precise stamping dies that are more suitable for double-curved roofs."

Italian designers have a very difficult time designing cars.

Without upgrading production equipment, it will be impossible to meet higher processing precision and more complex design requirements.

Cao Qinghang looked at Chen Luyang and asked, "Why don't you ask Marco Polo what he meant by that?"

Chen Luyang translated the production director's words to Marco Polo and asked for his opinion.

Marco Polobo, with disheveled hair, looked at the machine tools in the workshop and the miserable roof with a gloomy face.
"Parameters need to be adjusted..."

There was a thoughtful look in Marco Polo's eyes.

When they were designing the car's roof line, they had already taken into account the machinery plant's existing production equipment to ensure that it could adapt to the plant's production capacity to the greatest extent possible and overcome the limitations of the equipment.

But the miserable state of the vehicle before him was beyond his expectations.

Chen Luyang translated, "He agreed with our idea of developing a new mold, but they also wanted to go back and reset the parameters to adjust the curve of the roof."

Cao Qinghang: "Ask them if they can provide us with some help with the mold."

To the surprise of everyone in the machinery factory,

Marco Polo agreed without hesitation and said that he would arrange for their professional technicians to work together on mold research and development.

After a brief communication, the two sides immediately reached a unified agreement.

The machinery factory is responsible for adjusting the production methods using new production force methods and stamping heating, and gradually improving and trying to produce new types of roofs.

The Italian engineering design team readjusted the roof parameters to see if they could ensure the curvature was more uniform during the stamping process under the existing conditions.

In addition, the two parties jointly designed and developed new stamping dies.

Three-pronged approach,

Try to solve the problem of roof deformation and wrinkles in the shortest time possible.
