Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Red Star Mechanical Research Institute, Workshop 3.

Many technicians and workers were shuttling back and forth. As parts were produced one by one, in an open space in the workshop, a white bus about 10 meters long, 2.5 meters wide and three meters high was being assembled by a group of technicians.

"Pliers, wrench!"

"Screw number three!"

Under the car, several technicians kept shouting, and several workers next to them quickly handed over the tools.

Zhou Tianze and everyone else stood in front of the bus, constantly using his spatial consciousness to look at the structure and layout inside and outside the bus, trying to see if there were any problems. He only breathed a sigh of relief after observing everything.

"All right!"

At this moment, as a technician under the bus tightened the last screw, several technicians came out from under the bus, stood up and excitedly reported to Zhou Tian: "Dean, the bus has been fully assembled!"

"Well, thank you all for your hard work!"

Zhou Tian looked at the technicians in front of him with satisfaction, stepped forward and patted them on the shoulders, then looked at the group of people behind him and said loudly

"I declare that the bus project is completely completed!!"

"Great, we finally completed another project, hooray!"

As a worker happily threw his hat into the sky, the whole workshop suddenly became a sea of ​​joy. Many workers and technicians hugged each other happily, showing excitement.

"Okay, Xiao Zhang, immediately record all the data of the bus and seal it up. I'm going back first!"

Looking at the excited expressions of the crowd, Zhou Tian did not disturb them and turned to give instructions to the technician beside him.

"Yes, Dean!"

Xiao Zhang nodded and immediately ran towards the recorder.

Zhou Tian then and Zhang Mingzhi sneaked out of the workshop.

After walking out of the workshop, the two looked at each other and exhaled at the same time. Zhou Tian took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhang Mingzhi. They lit it in silence and took a deep breath.

"Dean, what are you going to do next?"

Zhang Mingzhi looked at Zhou Tian with admiration and asked.

This is the person in front of him. In just less than a year, he has researched so many projects one after another. It is hard not to admire him. Earlier, when he was the director of Liaodong Machinery Factory, although he had heard rumors about this person, as the head of a factory, he didn't believe it at all.

After all, he knew that every mechanical reform was the result of years of research and development by technicians or chief engineers. How could it be so easy? It was not until his superiors transferred him from the Liaodong Machinery Factory to the Red Star Machinery Research Institute in Sijiu City that he realized through his contact with Zhou Tian that it was not that the thing was impossible, but that they did not have the talent of the dean.

Not counting his previous achievements, the various research on automobile production lines, military production lines, home appliance production lines and even electronic production lines in less than a year made him feel like he was dreaming.

Now, in less than half a month, the dean has led everyone to develop the bus. If it wasn't happening right under his nose, he probably wouldn't believe it even if someone told him.

"What to do? Just keep doing research. By the way, Lao Zhang, I'll leave the application report to the higher-ups to you. I have other things to do!"

In fact, if there was no other way, he didn't even want to report to the Mechanical Department. It was really too troublesome. But there was no other way. The current organizational procedures were like this. What's more, since the bus has been developed, it must pass the above inspection if it is to be put into operation.

This procedure is indispensable.

"Well, alright, Dean!"

Zhang Mingzhi opened his mouth when he heard this and wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he had no choice but to agree.

After returning to the office, Zhou Tian once again devoted himself to the research of the first generation of lithography machines.

Although he has been busy making buses during this period, he has not stopped designing photolithography machines. However, the more he learned, the more he felt that it is very difficult to manufacture photolithography machines in this era.

Many parts and materials needed to be specially customized, which made him very worried for a while, especially since there were some materials he didn't understand at all. In order to solve this problem, he needed to re-learn materials chemistry.

When Zhang Mingzhi received the task from the dean, he had to take it on even if he was reluctant. After all, he knew that both the dean and the vice deans of the institute had an attitude of turning a deaf ear to what was happening outside.

He always tried to push away these trivial tasks, but I didn't expect that now even the task of reporting to the superiors was pushed onto him.

With no other options, he could only ask his assistant to prepare the car and report to the Mechanical Department.

When they arrived at the Ministry of Machinery, after Zhang Mingzhi reported the situation to Minister Xie, Director Xie instantly became excited and immediately took several experts to the research institute for inspection. When everyone arrived at the research institute, they saw a white bus driving slowly on the square of the institute.

This made everyone's eyes light up, especially the experts who came here, they all fell in love with the appearance of the bus at first sight.

"Xiao Zhang, is this the bus made by your research institute? It looks really beautiful!"

Even though Xie Yuanchang was knowledgeable and experienced, he couldn't help but admire the bus in front of him. He had seen buses before, even foreign ones. But no matter which country the bus was from, he knew that none of them was as beautiful as the one in front of him.

"Yes, Minister, this is the latest bus developed by our research institute!"

Zhang Mingzhi heard this and said immediately.

"Okay, let's go and take a look!"

As they spoke, everyone came to several technicians who were waiting to test the bus data.

"Vice President Zhang!" When several technicians saw Zhang Mingzhi and a group of people coming over, they immediately greeted him. However, when they saw Xie Yuanchang, they suddenly became nervous: "Hello, Minister!"

"Well, hello to you guys too, how are things going? How is the data test of this bus going?"

Xie Yuanchang naturally knew a few of them. After all, he had been to the research institute several times, and these people were used to test the data every time.

"Report to the dean, the power test is still in progress!"

One of the technicians said immediately.

"Have you completed all the other tests?"

An expert immediately asked anxiously,

The technician looked at the other person strangely, but still said, "It's done. Here are the test data!"

As he spoke, the technician handed the data in his hand to the expert.

The expert took the data and started looking at it, and several experts nearby also gathered around and looked at the data together. The more they looked, the more shocked they were.

"Impossible, how is this possible? How can the fuel consumption be so low?"

Especially after seeing the loss in fuel consumption, several people shook their heads, their eyes flashing with disbelief. The main reason was that they really couldn't understand it. Even in the data of foreign buses, the lowest fuel consumption was only about 5%. However, the data in front of them clearly showed that the fuel consumption was reduced by 10%. How could this be possible?

If this bus really works as the data shows, then doesn't it mean that they can reduce a lot of oil resources every year?

Although it is definitely more fuel-intensive than current gas cars and trams, at least it is safe.
