Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Being so excited, Shi Heping would definitely not want to go back to sleep.

Then there is nothing more to say, just finish the work quickly and let him go back to rest early.

Afterwards, under Chen Changan’s arrangement, yesterday’s process continued.

Chen Changan was still in command, Shi Heping took action, and the people around him took notes.

It wasn't long before the second test run began. Seeing that the noise and vibration were much smaller than yesterday, Chen Changan nodded with satisfaction.

Even Shi Heping, who couldn't see the shaking or hear the sound, stayed up all night thinking about Chen Changan's performance yesterday.

Today we can also see that the engine performance is much better than yesterday.

Still shut down after five minutes, disassemble and check the problem. There are very few debris in the oil. In fact, for later generations, this is still not acceptable and professional measuring instruments are needed for inspection.

Unfortunately, Chen Changan had nothing on hand. Moreover, in this era, many industrial products prioritized the issue of availability.

As for whether it is easy to use or not, as long as it can be used, it’s fine. If there are any problems over time, we will solve them later.

After reassembling the engine, continue to test drive it, this time spend half a day or a day to see how it goes.

Shi Heping still didn't want to go home, so there was nothing we could do. We just let him work for another day.

Chen Changan still needs to determine the tolerance range of each component. He also needs to make a few more engines to test them slowly.

This is a rigorous and tedious process. You can't be careless.

Shi Heping and his group of workers were working on their tasks, and from time to time they would glance at the engine that was being tested in a corner of the workshop.

Listening to this sound while working, I feel like I have endless energy.

Shi Heping always pays attention to the sound of the engine. From the experience of the past few test runs, if there is a problem with the engine, the sound is the easiest way to find the problem. If you stop the car and check it in time, you can find many problems.

Before leaving get off work, Chen Changan turned off the engine and indicated that he would start it for inspection the next morning. Shi Heping originally wanted to volunteer to work overtime, but was flatly rejected by Chen Changan.

"Go home and sleep."

After being scolded by Chen Changan, he went back obediently.

The next day, after disassembly, no problems were found. After a few days of test driving, the basic procedures were mastered.

Chen Changan announced the start of a long test drive, and that someone would be left behind to observe and record at night.

Those on night duty can go home now, and the canteen will keep some food for them in the evening.

Shi Heping became the first person on duty at night, and of course Old Lutou was with him.

The second and third engines were then produced one after another. During the day, there were even multiple engines being tested at the same time in the workshop.

The coal workers outside have long been accustomed to it.

Chen Changan had just returned to the office and taken a sip of water when there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in"

After the door was opened, Chen Changan saw Aunt Hou, oh no, Sister Hou walked into his office.

After Sister Hou came in, she asked Chen Changan, "Director Chen, how is the engine research in your workshop going? It keeps ringing all day long, and my head feels like it's buzzing."

Chen Changan smiled nonchalantly and said, "Then Sister Hou, you are done. This sound will basically be heard all the time from now on. You need to get used to it quickly."

Hearing this, Sister Hou's eyes lit up and she said, "Does that mean Director Chen, your research on this engine has been successful? Can our factory make motorcycles in the future?"

After all, such a big thing happened in the factory. Basically, Director Chen made the engine, and with the engine, he could make motorcycles. This matter basically spread throughout the factory.

Chen Changan didn't care about it. He thought that Sister Hou just liked gossip and wanted to ask him about the actual situation.

So he said, "The engine problem is not that big, but there is no sign of the motorcycle. It is not that easy. We have too few machines in our factory. Even if we want to make it, we can only make a few by hand."

Chen Changan paused and continued, "If we really want to make motorcycles on a large scale, we probably have to switch to a large factory or build a new factory."

Chen Changan actually had some expectations. After all, this engine was developed with great effort on his part.

If the higher-ups pay attention to it, they will most likely invest in building a factory again, and then I will be considered a real factory manager.

No matter who you are, there is no way that you would not want to get promoted and make money, right?

Unfortunately, Chen Changan knew that he was not very old and his rank was not high, so his hope was not that great. He might be taken advantage of by others. He could not control these things.

Just think of it as making your own small contribution to the motherland of this era.

After all, in the Northwest, there are so many people who are dedicating their youth and even their lives.

However, Sister Hou's words interrupted Chen Changan's thoughts.

"Director Chen, this is what I mean. I have a nephew from my family. He heard that our factory can make engines, so he wants to be an apprentice in our factory. What do you think?"

Chen Changan did laugh when he heard this. He had just thought of dedication, but now he was slapped in the face.

Sister Hou has been working in the factory for quite some time, and she knows what the factory does. It's not that there is a shortage of people, but it wouldn't be a big problem to add a few temporary workers, but Sister Hou has never done that.

Now that the factory has developed an engine, this nephew is willing to come as an apprentice. Who says that people in this era value dedication? If people value dedication, why didn't Sister Hou's so-called nephew come to the processing plant to learn how to make coal?

However, the manufacture of engines in the future will definitely require more people who understand mechanics, and with more apprentices the scale can be expanded in the future.

So he smiled and said to Sister Hou, "I understand what you mean, so let my nephew come over in the next two days. Go directly to the workshop to find Shi Heping and learn first."

Seeing Sister Hou's smile, Chen Changan warned, "But Sister Hou, we can't let too many people know that our nephew has returned, otherwise many young people in the factory will go to the workshop. First, there won't be enough people to teach them, and second, people in the factory will be distracted and won't work so seriously.

Another thing is that making engines and parts is not much cleaner than mining coal, and it also requires a lot of strength. It is not an easy job, so you have to be mentally prepared before you come."

Hearing this, Sister Hou said nonchalantly, "Well, being a worker is not an easy job. We are not leaders, so we are content to be a skilled worker. We can only rely on him in the future."

After she was over the excitement, Sister Hou realized what Chen Changan had just said and said, "What did you just say? What do you mean by nephew? You want to take advantage of your sister at such a young age?"

Chen Changan said aggrievedly, "You are my sister, so your nephew is my nephew, right? Then there is nothing wrong with our nephew."

Sister Hou was so happy at this moment that she didn't bother to argue with Chen Changan. She said, "It's settled then. Let your eldest nephew come to work tomorrow."

Seeing Chen Changan nod, Sister Hou was ready to leave. She walked to the door of Chen Changan's office, turned around and said to Chen Changan, "By the way, I forgot to tell you that your nephew is a few years older than you."

Looking at Chen Changan's surprised expression, he left Chen Changan's office with a laugh.
