Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

Whether it is a motorcycle, a car, an airplane or a ship, all of them cannot be separated from the engine.

The engine is the core of modern transportation and the ultimate embodiment of a great power's industry.

A good engine has the ability to start for a long time and without any failure.

By hand-rubbing scrap parts, Lin Kaifeng built a motorcycle engine.

Lin Kaifeng is confident in his own skills.

But what to do.

There is no possibility of 100% no accidents.

The engine parts all came from a scrap yard and were problematic in themselves.

In addition, after the engine was manufactured, Lin Kaifeng lacked the corresponding testing tools.

The engine is subjected to endurance testing by continuous starting.

Look for possible internal problems.

I don’t know what method Lu Changshun used to get the gasoline.

The quantity was one hundred liters more than what Lin Kaifeng requested.

Three hundred liters of gasoline.

Enough to keep the engine running for days without sleep.

After being busy for a long time, Lin Kaifeng finally got a good night's sleep.

At one o'clock in the morning, Lin Kaifeng and Lu Changshun went home together to catch up on their sleep.

All I can say is that being young is good.

After sleeping for a day and a night, Lin Kaifeng was full of energy.

"Chief Lin, how was your rest?"

"Chief, when can we start manufacturing motorcycles?"

"Reporting to the section chief, the engine is running normally, there is no problem."

Once entering the factory, any worker who sees Lin Kaifeng will greet him in an extremely enthusiastic manner.

Lin Kaifeng nodded and greeted everyone one by one.

"Chief Lin, the factory director, the deputy factory director, and several other leaders want you to attend a meeting."

A worker in the distance shouted from a distance.

When he heard that there was going to be a meeting, Lin Kaifeng knew without hesitation that it must be related to motorcycles.

as predicted.

As Lin Kaifeng arrived at the conference room, everyone's enthusiasm for motorcycles was even higher than that of the workers in the factory.

Niu Yonggui said happily: "Kaifeng, after this incident, the whole factory admires you very much, and we factory leaders have no hesitation. We will do whatever you say."

"The engine is now built, when do we start building the motorcycle?"

"Don't be ridiculous, but even though we are quite old, we have ridden in cars and driven factory trucks, but we have never driven a motorcycle."

As soon as Niu Yonggui finished speaking, the other factory leaders looked embarrassed.

Lu Changshun said with mixed feelings: "Kaifeng, Third Uncle apologizes to you here."

"Before, Third Uncle thought you were young and impulsive, and always liked to do out-of-line things."

"I spent most of last night thinking about it. It's because I have a narrow vision and like to look at people with old eyes that I misunderstood you, a scientific research genius. From now on, I will listen to you."

"Whatever you say, we'll do it."

After witnessing Lin Kaifeng's ability to do what he said time and time again, Lu Changshun no longer had any objections.

The county machinery factory either eats delicious food and drinks spicy drinks, or eats steamed buns and pickled vegetables.

It all depends on Lin Kaifeng alone.

After sitting down at the seat, Lin Kaifeng said slowly: "Everyone asked when the motorcycles can be manufactured. Before answering this question, I want to ask you, do you know what assembly line production is?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Lu Changshun smiled and said, "Kaifeng, you are asking even though you already know the answer. In the past, you led everyone to make hundreds of radios by hand. Didn't you use a manual assembly line?"

"Yes, but also not right. We use the simplest assembly line model, while overseas, comprehensive industrial assembly line production has long been achieved."

Lin Kaifeng started from the beginning.

Tell everyone in detail about the situation of foreign industrial assembly lines.

Unlike radios, electric fans, watches and other goods that require industrial coupons to purchase.

Motorcycles are truly industrial products.

Like cars, the quality of motorcycles reflects a country's industrial manufacturing strength.

For the factory, it is necessary to produce high-quality and high-performance motorcycles.

In addition to quality control, it is necessary to have the ability to produce on an industrial assembly line.

"Everyone, the radios we produced before were handmade. Some internal parts cannot be used interchangeably even if they are polished very finely."

"The lack of interchangeability of spare parts means that once a radio breaks down, repairing it will be quite complicated because parts in other locations are not interchangeable at all."

Many people who have participated in the manual manufacturing of radios agree with Lin Kaifeng's words.

"If a machinery factory wants to produce motorcycles, it must not only achieve comprehensive industrial assembly line but also implement standardized processes."

"What is a standardized process? The parts produced must be exactly the same, without any deviation in size, and the part tolerance must be limited to an extremely stringent standard."

"What is an engine? It is the heart of transportation machinery. Everyone has ridden in or driven a car. Once the engine fails, no matter how well the car is made, it is just a showpiece."

"The engine manufacturing process is complicated. Once the parts have problems such as precision and tolerance, even if we build the engine, it will only be a fake."

Lin Kaifeng could understand everyone's enthusiasm for building motorcycles, but once they got into work mode, no problems were allowed to occur.

It was just a minor issue before, with some minor flaws on the radio and gas tank that were not a big deal.

For the engine project, there cannot be any flaws.

The county machinery factory decided to produce motorcycles, and first of all it had to have the ability to mass-produce engines.

If the quality, production capacity and craftsmanship cannot keep up, motorcycles will become extremely dangerous.

Forcing our way forward will cause all sorts of problems.

If someone dies...

Lin Kaifeng looked around and said in a serious voice: "Having our factory's sign smashed is a minor matter. Losing the trust of the higher-ups and the people is a major issue."

Lu Changshun echoed, "Kaifeng, you are absolutely right. The products produced by our factory must not become weapons that harm people, and there must not be any quality problems."

"Since everyone has no objections, I will now introduce to you what a real modern industrial assembly line is."

As he spoke, Lin Kaifeng asked someone to bring a blackboard and chalk.

Start drawing your ideal industrial assembly line on the blackboard.

The biggest feature of the industrial assembly line is that it is one link after another.

There are corresponding staff members in each link.

A large number of parts are placed on the conveyor belt, and workers in each link are dedicated to assembling some of the spare parts.

As Lin Kaifeng continued to talk, everyone became more and more excited.

No better than not knowing.

Compared with foreign industrial assembly lines, the factory's old production methods are totally inadequate.

The entire production process is broken down into countless small links.

Semi-automated industrial production lines already exist in the Western world.

The production speed is many times faster than traditional production lines.
