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

"Director Fang, why didn't you say hello when you came?"

At the same time, Factory Director Lu Changshun and Deputy Factory Director Niu Yonggui, along with a large group of factory leaders, rushed to the workshop.

Fang Boyan said with a strange expression: "If I don't come again, your factory may have to manufacture missiles next year."

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Can someone explain to me when your factory started thinking about making cars?"

Having been a leader for many years, Fang Boyan is quite good at controlling his emotions.

Despite having an unbelievable attitude towards what was happening in front of me.

But as the saying goes, actions speak louder than words.

The county machinery factory did build the car.

Judging from the current situation, the county machinery factory definitely does not manufacture cars.

Niu Yonggui, Lu Changshun and a group of people looked at Lin Kaifeng together.

Lin Kaifeng said: "Director Fang, on behalf of our factory, can I invite you to be the first passenger of this car?"

"You want me to test drive the car with you?"

Fang Boyan was slow to react and immediately understood what Lin Kaifeng meant.

"Director Fang, please get in the car. I will explain the details to you while I drive."

The interior space of the agricultural tricycle is just enough to accommodate two people.

Lin Kaifeng needed to operate the tricycle in the middle, leaving very little space for Fang Boyan.

Sitting down at the side, Fang Boyan turned sideways and reluctantly closed the door.

Lin Kaifeng twisted the handlebars and stepped on the accelerator.

"boom!"

There was a bang as the engine started, and Fang Boyan shuddered. He asked hurriedly, "You...tell me first, how did you make the engine?"

"I went to a scrapyard and collected discarded motorcycle parts and slowly assembled this engine."

Compared with two-wheeled motorcycles, agricultural tricycles are easier to operate.

Because it has three wheels, it has strong stability during driving.

The only thing you need to note is that the tricycle has a cargo box at the back.

When driving on rough roads, you need to control the throttle at all times.

Be sure to brake when you need to.

Be especially careful when turning and tilting.

However, these problems have little impact.

As long as you study hard and practice diligently, you will be able to drive on the road soon.

As they were talking, the tricycle slowly drove out of the workshop.

Lin Kaifeng suddenly released his foot on the accelerator and stopped the car in the middle of the factory.

Fang Boyan subconsciously said, "Is it over?"

"of course not."

Lin Kaifeng pushed open the back door and said to the back, "Fifteen people come up."

"coming!"

Someone shouted, and a large group of young workers climbed onto the back of a farm tricycle.

"Everyone hold on tight, get out of the factory, I'm going to speed up."

As Lin Kaifeng spoke, he reminded everyone to hold on to the handrails on both sides.

Driving on a rough and uneven surface will cause the vehicle to shake severely.

If you can't hold on firmly, you may be thrown off.

After driving out of the factory, Lin Kaifeng started refueling.

The speed is increasing.

It was noon and there were few people on the road.

Rao is so.

Seeing a strange tricycle driving on the street with a dozen workers on the back still attracted the attention of passers-by.

"Suddenly..."

The two-cylinder engine made a clear and loud sound, driving the agricultural tricycle forward.

Gradually, Fang Boyan felt that driving an agricultural tricycle was not really difficult.

I turned around and looked through the glass at the young workers in the truck bed.

Fifteen workers stood behind.

Calculated at 130 kilograms per person, it is equivalent to nearly 2,000 kilograms.

It’s almost a ton!

Whether it is used to transport people or goods, it is a very good means of transportation.

After driving about ten kilometers, Lin Kaifeng gave a comprehensive introduction to the various essentials of driving an agricultural tricycle.

"Okay, stop."

Fang Boyan suddenly shouted, "Stop the car."

The tricycle stopped at the side of the road, and Chen Haifeng asked, "Director Fang, are you not going to continue the demonstration?"

"That's enough of the demonstration, let's go back."

After saying this, Fang Boyan had a strange expression on his face.

"When we go back, can you let me try it too?"

"of course can."

Soon, Lin Kaifeng and Fang Boyan exchanged positions.

Fang Boyan placed his hands on the handlebars of the agricultural tricycle and took a deep breath.

He imitated Lin Kaifeng's movements and slowly started the agricultural tricycle.

Slow turn.

Then, the tricycle drove towards the machinery factory at a steady speed.

Lin Kaifeng praised: "Director Fang, you are really a genius. You learned to drive a farm tricycle after just a short while."

"Okay, stop flattering me. I can drive, and you explained it in detail. If I still can't learn it, wouldn't I be a fool?"

Fang Boyan stared straight ahead.

"If a person with no driving experience starts from scratch, how long will it take to learn?"

Lin Kaifeng said without thinking: "It will take half a day at the shortest, or three days at the slowest."

"My goodness, some people need a week to learn how to ride a bicycle, just like my stupid son. It only took me a few hours to learn how to ride a bicycle, but it took that stupid boy a whole week to learn."

On the way back, Fang Boyan had a more intuitive understanding of the agricultural tricycle.

Compared to cars and two-wheeled motorcycles.

The tricycle is much simpler to learn.

The overall performance is actually not much different from that of a car.

Lin Kaifeng deliberately added a carriage to the agricultural tricycle to make it easier for the driver to drive in winter.

If there is no carriage, it will just be driving on the bare road.

The cold wind in winter can definitely chill people to the core.

Windy and rainy days will also interfere with the driver's vision.

With a carriage, many problems can be solved.

Back to the factory.

Fang Boyan called Lu Changshun and Lin Kaifeng to his office.

"Why didn't you inform me in advance when your factory caused such a big incident?"

"Last time, Niu Yonggui came to deliver the application materials. My secretary asked him what your factory was busy with recently. He just said he was researching engines, not a single word about agricultural tricycles. I'm not a lion or a tiger, how can I eat you?"

Fang Boyan pretended to be angry and criticized the county machinery factory for being disorganized and undisciplined.

Doing big things behind your superiors' backs.

"Luckily I came here. If it were any other leader, you would probably scare him to death."

Lu Changshun smiled and said, "Director Fang, calm down. It's not that Lao Niu didn't tell you on purpose. Our factory's research has just begun, and we haven't even started yet. If I tell you in advance, and if the research fails, wouldn't that be tantamount to deceiving the leadership?"

"No need to explain, it won't happen again."

Fang Boyan had no intention of holding the county machinery factory responsible.

Through personal experience, Fang Boyan is very optimistic about the prospects of agricultural tricycles.

I went to the city's scrap disposal companies again and again to buy large quantities of discarded parts.

Lin Kaifeng assembles and repairs unwanted scrapped motorcycle parts.

Make a two-cylinder motorcycle engine by hand.

The rear truck bed and carriage were also welded.

The chaotic times have passed, the country has a lot of work to do and is vigorously developing various economic projects.

The machinery factory develops more than just motorcycle engines.

It is also a means of transportation suitable for rural and urban areas.

Looking across the country, there are no more than ten factories capable of manufacturing trucks.

Only a handful of trucks are produced each year.

Agricultural tricycles fill the gap in cargo transportation during production and construction.
