The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 28 Diesel tricycle successfully manufactured [1st update]

After listening to Dai Hongtao's words, Wang Haoran smiled and said, "You came just in time! We need to perform well in front of the leaders this afternoon."

Dai Hongtao rubbed his hands and said, "I'm a little worried now. If we mess up and the products we produce are not satisfactory, then we're done for."

Wang Haoran shook his head and said, "Don't worry! Our products will definitely be very successful! I have confidence!"

"We can definitely show our face in front of the leader again!"

"Yes! We will try to promote our motorized tricycles nationwide. If so, within three years, our Mafang Machinery Factory will be famous throughout the country and become a production base for agricultural motorized tricycles!"

"Now, let's work hard together! We should try to assemble our motorized tricycles before the leaders arrive."

At noon that day, the workers ate a quick meal in the workshop and then continued to work.

A total of three prototype vehicles were assembled during this trial production.

We were busy until after one o'clock in the afternoon, and finally all three prototypes completed the final process and rolled off the production line.

Now, three agricultural motorized tricycles were placed in front of all the workers.

The car has a motorcycle-style armrest in the front and the machine is under the seat.

The gear lever is on the left hand side.

Two people can sit in the seat.

At the back is a truck bed that is 2.2 meters long, 1.45 meters wide, and 0.45 meters high.

Although the truck bed is not big, it can hold a lot.

The car was painted blue, and there was a brand name on the fender in front of the car: Benma.

This car is still pretty nice in appearance.

The workers were very excited.

The previous Mafang Machinery Factory could only produce some simple farm tools.

Now this is considered a major upgrade, as they have even started producing agricultural vehicles.

Zhao Yougui smiled and said, "Before the leader arrives, shouldn't we add some gas and test drive the car?"

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "Let me demonstrate it to you."

So, Wang Haoran started adding water to the water tank, then engine oil, and then diesel.

After doing all this, he began to relax the pressure and prepared to use the crank to start the car.

Wang Haoran originally planned to design this motorized tricycle to have an electric ignition starter.

However, starters, relays, etc. are still needed, and additional processes are required.

Furthermore, even large tractors are crank-operated nowadays, and some cars are even started by hand cranks.

So, it’s better not to be so rebellious at the beginning. It’s better to develop slowly.

Wang Haoran inserted the hand crank handle into the hand crank plug hole, held the seat with his left hand, and turned the handle clockwise with his right hand.

After only three or four turns, the diesel engine began to roar.

The engine ignition was successful!

The workers around began to cheer:
"Ha! That's great!"

"We made it!"

"Holy crap! The engine we built ourselves can actually start?"

People laughed, danced and clapped their hands.

Obviously, everyone was excited.

Dai Hongtao said with a smile: "At least there is nothing wrong with the engine."

"Haoran, start it quickly and give it a try."

Wang Haoran put away the hand crank and jumped onto the seat of the tricycle.

Dai Hongtao sat on his right.

The workers made way for them.

Wang Haoran stepped on the clutch and shifted gears skillfully.

Putting the car in first gear, he gently released the clutch and then tapped the accelerator at the same time.

The car shifted into gear successfully and began to move forward slowly.

The workers watching became even more excited.

"Haha! It can move! This car can drive!" "Awesome! I never thought I could build a car by myself."

"What do you mean you built the car yourself? If Haoran hadn't designed and taught us how to make the various parts, would we have been able to build this car?"

"You are so awesome! I admire you so much!"

Amid the noise of the workers, Wang Haoran drove the agricultural tricycle out of the workshop gate.

New machines must be run-in before they can get better and better.

So, Wang Haoran drove slowly at the beginning.

He circled the open space in the yard of the machinery factory several times. The driving was very smooth. Everything was normal, without any problems.

Next, Dai Hongtao also drove a few laps himself.

Workers lined up to experience it.

This tricycle is very easy to operate and drive.

Just say it briefly and it's open.

Just as the workers were taking turns driving the motorized tricycle for fun, Wang Mingshan also arrived.

His car drove straight into the yard of the Mafang Machinery Factory.

Wang Mingshan came here once more than three months ago, but when he came again this time, he found that the factory had changed a lot.

The newly built tall factory building is very beautiful and eye-catching.

The factory area has also expanded a lot.

The driver drove directly towards the location of the new factory.

Wang Mingshan saw a peculiarly shaped motorized tricycle circling in an open space not far away.

The secretary sitting in the passenger seat smiled and said, "Comrade Mingshan, that's the agricultural diesel tricycle they made, right?"

Wang Mingshan asked the driver to stop far away.

He watched with great interest the agricultural tricycle driving across the open space.

This car looks pretty good.

It should also be easier to drive.

Looking at this car, Wang Mingshan thought that it looked good for use in rural areas for hauling crops, transporting fertilizers, and for transportation.

It is lighter than a tractor and should be faster to drive than a tractor.

Hmm! It should be very useful!

This car has never appeared before, so it is a new thing.

I just don't know if the cost is high.

Today's small tractors with more than ten horsepower cost more than 3000 yuan, which is not cheap.

As soon as Wang Mingshan's car entered the factory, someone saw it and hurried to report to Dai Hongtao.

Dai Hongtao and Wang Haoran hurried to greet them.

Wang Mingshan got out of the Hongqi car he was riding in and shook hands with Dai Hongtao and Wang Haoran with a smile.

Wang Mingshan said: "Comrade Hong Tao, Comrade Haoran, you really do what you say!"

"You guys really built a diesel motorized tricycle. This is incredible."

Wang Mingshan was very happy because this motorized tricycle seemed to have many uses and could be considered a breakthrough in agricultural machinery.

Dai Hongtao waved his hand and said, "Comrade Mingshan, the credit mainly goes to Haoran! Without him, we would never have been able to come up with this thing."

Wang Mingshan held Wang Haoran's hand tightly and said, "Comrade Haoran, thank you! The product you developed is definitely what our country needs! We must commend you!"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Without your support, we wouldn't be able to build the prototype so quickly."

"I can now feel relieved. I think I have finally fulfilled my mission!"

The three of them chatted and laughed as they came to the diesel tricycle prototype parked in the yard.

Wang Haoran introduced the various parameters and indicators of the car to Wang Mingshan.

Although this car is not big, it has 18 horsepower, can carry 3 tons, and has a designed theoretical maximum speed of 50 kilometers per hour.

Moreover, most of the terrain in rural areas can be driven, and the pass rate is very high...
