Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

After returning to Luoyi, Fang Xiang did not rush to start drawing the design of the car.

Instead, he patiently drew the blueprint of mig31.

With the help of Cao Tianwei and other members of the original team, it finally took more than a month.

Slowly finish drawing the full set of mig31 drawings.

Coincidentally, Fang Xiang had just finished the work and there were only a few days left until Wei Shengli’s wedding.

However, Fang Xiang was not in a hurry to return to the capital.

“The engine from the Seoul Engine Plant is better than the prototype from the Hangzhou Engine Plant.

After all, it’s still a little bit worse.”

After Cao Tianwei drained the engine oil, metal debris was exposed at the bottom of the basin.

"But it's better than the one in the internal combustion engine factory next door, isn't it?"

Fang Xiang frowned, but he was the chief engineer after all. If he appeared too discouraged, it would dampen the mentality of the technicians.

I can only pretend to be relaxed.

"That being said, the overall performance is indeed better."

Cao Tianwei knew what Fang Xiang meant. After replying, he motioned for Fang Xiang to go to the small office next door to talk.

“Is there no way to change the factory?”

Cao Tianwei took out a Zhonghua cigarette and lit one for himself.

Since arriving in Luoyi, Liu Qiwen had put in a lot of effort in giving Fang Xiang a lot of cigarettes and alcohol, not to mention other treatments.

It’s enough for these technicians from Shuimu to work hard on it.

“Well, it’s most likely the Seoul Engine Plant.

And, if I’m not mistaken, maybe after Second Automobile Works settles down, they might also move here.”

Fang Xiang nodded and expressed his guess.

“It shouldn’t be the workers’ problem…

If the machine tool is not replaced, the accuracy and craftsmanship will only remain at this level. "

Cao Tianwei took a puff of his cigarette and drew a conclusion about the products of the Seoul Engine Factory.

“If our demand is smaller in the early stage, we can ask them to polish it by hand to improve it a little.

If we were to produce at full capacity, they probably wouldn’t have time to polish it.”

Fang Xiang nodded, agreeing with Cao Tianwei's statement.

"So? Start work?"

Cao Tianwei pursed his lips and looked towards the workshop.

"I deliberately arranged a hundred cars this time, so we have to go through the necessary procedures first."

Fang Xiang was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This Cao Tianwei was even more anxious than him.

"Then you have to hurry up, it's been several months and the work hasn't officially started.

These people were anxious.

Some people have already started to complain privately that they can’t learn anything new and can’t achieve any results. ”

Cao Tianwei took a long breath and looked at Fang Xiang seriously.

"Then you can ask. If you don't want to stay any longer, just sign up. I'll go back and talk to the professor to arrange another unit for them."

Fang Xiang sneered, expressing his disdain for some people's idea of ​​backing down.

Unexpectedly, there are always people who give up halfway in every era.

Since they can't even hold on to this level now, can we still count on Second Automobile Works behind them?

"Are you sure? If we really let them go, there will be quite a few people."

Cao Tianwei was stunned for a moment and looked at Fang Xiang in disbelief.

“Why force people who don’t want to stay?

The sky is going to rain, my mother is going to get married, we can stop it for a while, but we can’t stop it forever.”

Fang Xiang shrugged his shoulders. This kind of thing is more common in later generations.

I thought that people at that time would not be as short-lived as those in later generations.

At least, there will be more opportunities in the future, and even if you jump out, there will be more choices.

But this is not the case in this era.

Speaking of which, these people were assigned units by the state.

Now that they are leaving, it is not yet time to discuss whether the state will assign them another unit.

Even if there is a distribution, it is still unknown where it will be distributed to and whether the next one will be better than Luoqi.

“Okay, you’re the chief engineer, you have the final say.

But speaking of which, the dormitory has been completed. When do you plan to get the rooms?

If we divide the houses, I think it will help stabilize some people’s hearts.”

Cao Tianwei was also quite helpless. He always felt that the treatment provided by Luoqi was already very good.

Unless some people miss home very much and want to return to their hometown and make contributions to it.

Otherwise, Luoqi is already one of the few good choices for these people.

After all, if you persist for two years, you will go to Second Automobile Works, where the stage is bigger and there are more opportunities.

But they seem to have gotten used to a good life and forgotten that their own abilities do not match their desires.

"Yes, I'll talk to Lao Ma later.

I guess he had already made a plan to divide the house.

Let me get this done before I return to Beijing.

In addition, Liu Qiwen has already assumed his post, and we will send him another twenty cars.

Indicates.

We have a lot of drivers now, don’t we?

Only a few necessary ones were left, and the rest drove the cars out for long tests.

Let’s run for a few months and 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers first.

There will definitely be no problem with sales of 213.

But we can't ignore product quality just to expand sales.

Try to find and solve problems during this long test.

Let’s wait until June, collect all the questions, do a small update, and then we’ll finalize it.

Then I reported it to the First Ministry of Machine Building, got the approval document, and we started production.”

Fang thought for a long time and finally arranged the work on Jeep 213.

“What’s your plan for this chassis?

Should we purchase or make it ourselves? "

Cao Tianwei nodded and raised another question.

The chassis of 213 is still in the stage of purchasing parts and then sending them back to the factory for assembly.

If it’s a short time or small batch, it’s not a problem.

However, once mass production begins, doing so will not only affect output, but also make it impossible to guarantee quality.

"Make it yourself. Mr. Hu called me a while ago and told me that there is a machinery factory in the capital of Pingyuan Province.

He used to work in the military industry. Mr. Hu meant that he could transfer to us and work as a civilian worker.

However, the subsequent logistical burden and expenses will have to be calculated independently by us.”

As for the chassis, Fang Xiang had already made preparations.

"So... move here?"

Cao Tianwei was stunned for a moment. Building a chassis is not an easy job.

"move!

I have already made an agreement with Mr. Hu that the new factory will be located to our north, next to Jian River.

Including their living quarters, too.

So this time, I asked for another 100 acres of land."

After communicating and confirming the matter of the machinery factory with Mr. Hu.

I also told Liu Qiwen that he was willing to build a machinery factory in Luoyi.

Liu Qiwen was very happy.

In any case, the machinery factory also belongs to industry and is under his jurisdiction.

These are all political achievements, so naturally we strongly support them.

The only thing that may be unsatisfactory is the capital of Pingyuan Province.

“After they are converted into migrant workers, their treatment will be upgraded to a higher level in order to appease the workers.

In the short term, we can still afford it, but in the long run, if the benefits are not good, we will be in trouble.

So I think it would be best to conduct a technical assessment.

If they are similar, give them what they deserve. If they are too far apart, don’t force it.”

Fang wanted to continue with what he had just said and also decided on the job at the machinery factory.

"Of course, the responsibility for the assessment will be left to you."

Fang Xiang finished speaking and looked at Cao Tianwei.

"Okay, if you have anything else to say, tell me now.

Anyway, I have too many lice, so I am not afraid of itching anymore."

Cao Tianwei took his last puff of his cigarette and smiled helplessly.
