Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 341 Blow, blow, let the wind blow
Although Chen Luyang's leg splint was removed, his knee was injured after all. He walked with crutches and still hopped.

The car first took Chen Luyang home and asked him to put his luggage away, and then prepared to transport him back to the factory.

However, Chen Luyang did not go back to the machinery factory directly, but went directly to the convenience store.

When he was in the hospital, his colleagues in the workshop bought him so many fruits and canned food, and he had to return them no matter what.

Now that he has a car, he can buy more and take it back directly by car.

In addition to buying food and drinks for the workers in the workshop,
Chen Luyang also brought a copy directly to the truck driver!
"I don't need that...! Thank you, Director Chen."

The young driver was embarrassed to accept it and quickly declined.

"Thank you for what? I made you thank me! I'm sorry for taking up your time by coming all the way to the hospital to pick me up."

Chen Luyang stuffed the food into the driver's arms and said with a smile:

"Here! When you have nothing to do, come to our workshop and walk around and chat~"

The young driver tried to refuse again and again but failed, so he could only accept it with gratitude.

Back to the workshop,
Chen Luyang first distributed the things he bought to everyone, and then expressed his gratitude to everyone.

Then he called Ping Tao, Sun Jianbo, Zhao Yuejin and Dong Mangui to the office.

In the car, what Dong Mangui said also reminded him.

In the past few months, he has either been running around the movie city or following Italian engineers to the workshop, and he has also been preparing for the sports meeting.

In the meantime, I also have to act as a translator for my future father-in-law.

After finally getting some skills, he was injured and hospitalized.

All in all, he really doesn't spend much time in the workshop.

But fortunately, there are four people in the workshop, and all production and management work is progressing steadily after consultation, so he is not worried about these things.

But the matter of worker evaluation is different.

The workshop's production task completion rate is low, and we can find ways to improve it.

But if a gap arises due to the distribution of these interests, it will be detrimental to the development of the workshop!

The quarterly good grade workers are also selected according to the average principle and pushed out from the four working groups.

What Chen Luyang didn't expect was that he was actually rated as "good" this quarter.

The moment he saw the list, Chen Luyang was stunned.

"Is it okay for me to be on top?"

Huang Pingtao spoke first: "It must be!"

"You usually have multiple jobs, busy with workshop management, busy with car translation, and you also suffered a work-related injury. Everyone chose you with conviction."

Huang Pingtao was talking so fast that Chen Luyang's brows were slightly furrowed.

How difficult is it to learn this person? Learning bad things is a piece of cake!
Huang Pingtao, the former deputy workshop secretary who was so serious, has only been working with Dong Mangui for half a year, and now he has learned to flatter him.

"Thank you, brothers. I won't comment on it in the workshop anymore."

Chen Luyang took out a pen and crossed out his name from the list.

"Everyone's been working very hard. You guys should discuss and choose another comrade from the workshop to go up."

I don't lack the 6 yuan, and there's no point in competing with my colleagues in the workshop for a spot.

After a pause,
Chen Luyang asked, "Where's Old Xiang? Why do I feel like I haven't seen Xiang Guowu for a long time?"

Although Xiang Guowu is now working with them at the rubber factory to jointly develop rubber tire technology, the planning and management are still at the rubber factory.

This person can't just be left out there like a loose sheep.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I, as the workshop director, will have to take the blame.

"Well...we haven't seen Old Xiang recently."

Huang Pingtao's voice sounded a little weak.

Ever since Chen Luyang came to the rubber workshop as the workshop director, Xiang Guowu's position has been a bit awkward.

I used to pretend to be sick and stay home from work,

After finally coming here for two days, he said he wanted to develop and improve the technology and went to the rubber factory to work.

Sometimes they were a little confused as to whether Xiang Guowu really wanted to pursue technology or just didn't want to live under the same starry sky with Chen Luyang.

In addition, everyone's service focus is now on Chen Luyang, so Xiang Guowu is even more neglected.

If Chen Luyang hadn't suddenly mentioned it today, everyone would have almost forgotten about this person.

"We can't just ignore this guy."

Chen Luyang frowned slightly.

"In a few days."

"In a few days, you will come with me to Xiang Guowu's home to express your condolences and see how things are going."

Huang Pingtao asked, "Should I contact his wife first? Let's set a time. I don't want him to be gone when he's not here."

Chen Luyang nodded: "Okay, let me know when you've made the contact."

After finishing what needed to be said, Chen Luyang screwed the pen cap on and asked:
"Is there anything else?"

The crowd shook their heads.

"Okay... I'll go to the fusion workshop then. Feel free to come find me if you need anything."

Chen Luyang stood up and walked out with his crutches.

Dong Mangui's eyes lit up and he ran over!
"Director, let me help you!~"

But before he could touch Chen Luyang's arm, he saw him stretch out a hand to block him.

"No, I can go by myself~"

……

This time, Chen Luyang was definitely injured in the line of duty.

He had to limp around the factory so that everyone could see his heroic appearance of being strong-willed and working despite being disabled!
In the machinery factory yard
Chen Luyang, leaning on crutches, grunted as he moved towards the fusion workshop.

He was tall and eye-catching, and he was leaning on a crutch.

Along the way, every worker comrade he met greeted him.

"Director Chen, how's your leg?"

"It's not fully healed yet. It will take two days to heal."

……

"Director Chen, haven't you had two days' rest?"

"I want to rest, but I have work to do at the factory, so I don't dare to take a break."

……

"Director Chen, where are you going? Do you need me to help you?"

"No, no, I can do it by walking slowly."

……

Chen Luyang took one step deep and one step shallow on the Sunshine Avenue. Although he said it was hard work, the smile on his face was almost reaching the sky.

Low key?

nonexistent! ! !

He was so happy when he left that he would hum a few words from time to time.

"Blow, blow, let the wind blow,"

"Wipe away the sparkling tears from your eyes."

"Blow, blow, let the wind blow,"

"Who is in the wind that takes away all the sorrow?"

……

Chen Luyang was singing here when he saw from afar a dozen people in work clothes, holding shovels, ladders, buckets and other tools, walking towards the courtyard south of the factory.

Is this some kind of activity happening at the factory? Chen Luyang stood on the side of the road, leaning on his crutches, curiously watching.

After a while, more than 20 cars formed a convoy and drove into the machinery factory compound one after another.

Look at the bags on the truck, each bag is filled with cement.

"Brother, what are you doing transporting cement?"

Chen Luyang was very confident and asked the driver in a loud voice.

"Ship it to those old factories in the south!"

The driver shouted back through the window.

South factory area?

There was a look of suspicion in Chen Luyang's eyes.

The seven or eight factory buildings on the south side are the most original old factory buildings of the machinery factory.

The factory area is not small!

However, with the continuous expansion of the machinery factory, the continuous delivery and upgrading of new factory buildings and new equipment, these old factory buildings gradually became vacant.

I heard Chen's father and brother-in-law talking before, saying that the factory was planning to demolish the factory building to build a residential building for the staff.
I didn't expect it to be renovated today.

……Good!
Chen Luyang actually hopes that the factory can build a few more factory buildings.

When the time comes for cars to be officially put into production and the third, fourth and fifth production lines are set up, won’t they all need a factory building to provide space for production?
There are also toy cars in the factory.

The toy production line is also very important!

If car toys really become popular, then an assembly workshop alone will not be able to meet the market demand.
At that time, we will either cooperate with toy factories or expand our own production lines.

In short... Director Wang has good vision!!!
I just don’t know if there will be any leftover cement.

If there is any left, it would be nice to go home and plaster the courtyard wall!
Chen Luyang is watching the fun over here.

gradually,
Several figures came over with notebooks.

Chen Luyang's eyes lit up!
What a coincidence!
"Engineer Cao! Xiao Wu~~"

Chen Luyang raised his hand high and waved at them.

But before he could swing twice, his movements froze.

What's the meaning……

Why are these people running?

There is no one chasing after me!
Chen Luyang subconsciously turned back to look,
But before he could turn his head halfway, he felt an arm inserted into his armpits, one on each side.

Then, his feet left the ground and his whole body was almost lifted up on the spot.

"What are you doing?! Put me down."

Chen Luyang screamed and shouted.

The next moment, the crutch in his hand was ruthlessly pulled away, and the whole person was lifted up into the air and walked forward.

"If you don't come back, we'll go to the hospital and carry you back!"

Old Xue, who was feeling suffocated and going crazy, carried Chen Luyang's big crutch and trotted beside Chen Luyang.

"That's right!" Chiang Kai-shek also echoed.

"The Italian bird language is so difficult to understand, it's impossible to guess it."

"The Ascension Workshop is already doing pre-takeoff testing for the aircraft."

"Deputy Director Yu also gave us a strict order to produce the car within the first half of the year!"

Chen Luyang's arms were hurt from being tied up, and he howled:
"Then you don't have to carry me!"

"I can walk by myself!"

Cao Qinghang responded immediately: "You're walking too slowly!"

"Let's hurry up and try to catch up with the progress made in recent days."

After a pause,
Cao Qinghang looked at the two engineers holding Chen Luyang and asked, "Can you carry him? Do you need two more people to lift his legs?"

Before the two brothers could answer, Chen Luyang desperately refused.

It was embarrassing enough to be carried away by someone.

If I were to be carried by my arms and legs again,
Those who know will think they are helping the wounded, while those who don’t think they are going to be torn into pieces by five horses!

Only when they arrived at the testing site did Chen Luyang understand why Cao Qinghang and the others were so anxious.

I saw in the venue,
Italian engineers such as Marco Polo and Madagascar, as well as a group of technicians from the machinery factory, stood outside the test field, testing the operation of the car.

As the car moved forward, Chen Luyang could see a circle of black smoke forming a vortex-like shape behind the car.

Chen Luyang became nervous instantly:

"Engineer Cao, the car is emitting black smoke. Let's stop the car immediately and stop testing. Otherwise, the car will explode again!"

Cao Qinghang was helpless: "What explosion?"

"That black smoke is a particle tracker attached to the car. It releases visible smoke or particles around the vehicle to observe the trajectory of airflow."

Chen Luyang felt relieved and pointed at the swirling smoke behind the car with interest, saying:
"Engineer Cao, you're right, when our little car moves on the road, the air shape it creates is quite beautiful! It's like a tornado."

Cao Qinghang rolled his eyes silently.

"It's not right to say there's a tornado! This vortex shows that when the car was traveling at high speed, there was a significant negative pressure area behind the vehicle, which caused the airflow to be attracted to the rear and formed a vortex."

Chen Luyang heard this concept for the first time and asked worriedly:
"Will this affect driving safety?"

Cao Qinghang shook his head: "It won't be safe, but it will cost more fuel."

In the past few days, both Italy and the machinery factory have considered and designed some improvement plans based on the eddy current problem of the car.

But even though the plan was designed, communication became a problem!
They couldn't understand Italy's plan.

Even Italy couldn't understand their plan.

Both parties were looking forward to Chen Luyang's quick return so that they could finalize the plan exchange.

This conversation lasted until late at night.

Thanks to Chen Luyang being in the hospital this week and staying up late every night to tell Song Xiaoning ghost stories, his biological clock is still in the state of staying up late.

Otherwise, anyone would feel depressed if they were thrown into such heavy and busy work right after starting work.

But hard work always pays off.

In the end, the provincial machinery factory and Italian engineers decided to solve the problem of air vortex by adjusting the angle of the rear spoiler and optimizing the design of the rear bumper.

The solution is also simple and crude.

The original design of the car's rear spoiler had a shallow angle, which made it easier for the airflow to form vortices at the rear, causing instability. Adjusting the rear spoiler's tilt effectively redirects the airflow, guiding it to flow smoothly away from the rear of the car. The bumper's shape was also modified to be more streamlined, allowing airflow to flow smoothly along the body of the car, avoiding strong vortices at the rear.

Although these two improvement methods were unanimously recognized by both parties, the most difficult and time-consuming part was the subsequent adjustment work.

If we really want to follow the requirements of the plan and test step by step to find the optimal solution, I am afraid the car development cycle will be extended again.

Cao Qinghang sighed with his unshaven beard.

He threw the pencil on the table, rubbed his tired and sluggish face with his hands, and rubbed his shoulders with his hands.

This week, Chen Luyang had good food and drink in the hospital, and there was someone to chat with him in the evening.

But they really worked hard day and night to bring the car to market.

Things like staying up until midnight have long become the norm.

"Chen'er, where are you going to sleep tonight? Home or in the dormitory?"

Cao Qinghang stood up and asked Chen Luyang who was sitting next to him.

"I'm going back to the dormitory. I'm not going home."

Chen Luyang also yawned and stood up.

Although the family compound and the machinery factory are both in the factory area, they are separated by several streets.

By the time I jump and skip back home, it will probably be dawn. I might as well go back to the dormitory with Cao Qinghang, Xiao Wu and the others to spend the night.

"Let's go! I'll see you off."
