Chapter 750 Pedal Press

Mr. Sun chose the site of the Dongfang Machinery Factory on a river beach five miles away from the Pig Cage Walled City.

It was originally an abandoned warehouse, but it was bought by Fei Nan, and with the help of the brothers of the Fist of Fury, it was rebuilt into the original factory building.

Today is the most important day for Dongfang Machinery Factory, because the first 3-ton pedal press sample of the Machinery Factory will roll off the production line today.

Last night, Mr. Sun came to the factory and watched the equipment installation in person, without closing his eyes all night.

By 11:30 am, the finished press was finally assembled.

Bin Bucheng, who was covered in oil, looked at the rough press in front of him, and tears filled his eyes with excitement.

If the test run of the press is successful, it will be a sign of a major leap in the country's basic industry!
Regardless of his fatigue, he commanded his assistant to start the diesel engine and start the press.

The engine roared, he stepped on the pedal lever, the piston rod went down, and the press started to work.

Become!

Get moving!

He looked excitedly at Mr. Sun and Feinan, and shouted loudly: "Success! We succeeded!"

Mr. Sun was equally excited, while Fei Nan calmly reminded: "Try to put the workpiece and see how it works."

Only then did Bin Bucheng realize that he forgot to put the workpiece in his excitement.

Hastily loosening the foot lever, he asked his assistant to take the red-hot iron bar that had been prepared to be put aside, and put it on the workbench.

Then, he stepped on the pedal rod again, and the piston rod continued to work, driving the pressure hammer to hit the iron bar.

Under the heavy mechanical force of the press, the iron bars become as soft as noodles, allowing them to be beaten and deformed.

This situation thoroughly proves that the press was successfully manufactured!

At this moment, everyone jumped up excitedly and cheered loudly.

During this period of time, they worked hard day and night, overtime, and finally succeeded!

Mr. Sun excitedly told the guards: "Go send invitations! Invite all the bosses of Shanghai's machinery factories to visit! We also have our own press!"

The next day, the bosses of the machinery factory who received the invitation came one after another, all wanting to see with their own eyes what the press machine designed and produced by the Chinese people looks like.

In fact, the manufacture of this press was not done by Dongfang Machinery Factory alone, but by the combined manufacturing strength of all the machinery factories in Shanghai.

The 12-horsepower diesel engine of the press was imitated by Hongchang Machinery Shipyard three years ago, the motor was successfully imitated by Huasheng Electric Appliance Factory three years ago, and the relay switch was made by Huatong Electric Machinery Factory, which was established just last year. .

There are also lathes, drilling machines, and planers used to make flywheels, sliders, guide rails, workbenches, and fuselages, all of which were imitated by Wang Yueji Machine Factory, Taiji Machine Factory, and Fengtai Machine Factory.

As for connecting rods, nuts and other accessories, they are also selected from Shanghai's local machinery factory.

Only the single-stage centrifugal pump was made by Feinan and Bin Bucheng.

Therefore, this press is a completely domestically-made mechanical device, which implies extraordinary significance.

This is different from making a 1:1 imitation of a press machine by hand. Such imitation can only be produced in small batches, just like the existing machinery factory, and it can't make any waves.

Using the existing domestic machinery to make a serious press machine, this shows that it is possible to piece together a complete press production line with the existing domestic machinery!

The boss of the machinery factory who came to visit was even more excited than Bin Bucheng. The press can be said to be the key equipment related to the production capacity of basic industrial equipment.

The appearance of this press machine represents that the Chinese have officially broken through the technological blockade of the West, and have the possibility to develop their own basic industries!
Moreover, this press is not the thousand-ton large press imported by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, but a small press with only 3 tons.

Those thousand-ton large presses are generally used to make cannons and ship parts. Even if they are taken out, these small machinery factories can't use them, let alone use them.

This 3-ton small press is smaller and more practical, and it is more conducive to their production of existing small mechanical parts. Relatively speaking, they naturally prefer this small press.

With this kind of small press, they can mass-produce their own mechanical equipment, and the production efficiency will be doubled. How can they not be excited?
Therefore, after seeing the finished product, all the bosses immediately placed an order to reserve the press, and said that they could transfer the goods as soon as possible if they needed any equipment support.

As the factory director, Bin Bucheng thanked everyone for their support and expressed apology on behalf of Dongfang Machinery Factory.

Because the presses produced by Dongfang Machinery Factory will not be sold outside, because they have to rely on these presses to build their own production lines.

However, after the production line is completed, Dongfang will officially sell the press to the outside world. It won't be too long at that time.

Later, Mr. Sun came forward and invited all the bosses present to jointly establish the Shanghai Machinery Union, and everyone responded happily.

Soon, the news that Dongfang Machinery Factory produced the first purely domestic press spread like wildfire and spread.

The newspapers with a keen sense of smell immediately sent reporters to find Dongfang Machinery Factory and wanted to conduct interviews.

Bin Bucheng, as the director of the factory, was interviewed by the reporter.

But in order to keep it secret, he did not let the reporter take pictures of the press, but let him watch the working process of the press with his own eyes.

But even so, after the reporter went back, he wrote a passionate article.

The reporter obviously asked professionals to understand the position of presses in basic industrial equipment. In the article, he praised Dongfang Machinery Factory and described Dongfang Machinery Factory as the pride of national industry and a hero who broke the blockade of Western technology. enterprise.

With the spread of the newspaper, many people who didn't understand what a press machine was also knew that a Dongfang Machinery Factory had produced a device called a press machine.

This kind of equipment used to be made only by foreigners, but now Chinese people can make it themselves, which makes the people very excited.

But Mu Xiuyu Linfeng will destroy it. This article ushered in countless praises for Dongfang Machinery Factory, but it also caused some troubles invisibly.

After the first sample came off the production line, Dongfang Machinery Factory immediately put into intense production.

The factory is non-stop day and night, brightly lit, and the rumble of machines and the sound of forging metal can be heard endlessly.

If it wasn't for the fact that the factory was far away from residential areas, I don't know how many curses would be drawn behind my back.

Because the equipment involves confidentiality, Mr. Sun and Bin Bucheng did not dare to recruit more people. The workers in the factory are currently still being served by brothers from the Fist of Fury.

But they don't have any objections. Mr. Sun's wages for them are not low, because they are all mechanized assembly lines, and except for a few positions, most of the positions are relatively easy.

The work is not tiring, and they get high wages. They are all very happy.

They adopted a shift system, which was divided into three shifts, one for work, one for security, and one for rest, and so on.

That night, when the brothers in charge of security were chatting, they suddenly spotted a few sneaky people.

They stepped forward to question, but those people ran away.

But how could those few people run faster than the brothers of the Fist of Fury? They were chased and pinned to the ground within a short distance.

What shocked the brothers and sisters was that kerosene and kindling were found on their bodies!
