Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After listening to the blueprint described by He Yuzhu, Teacher Li Yang was also attracted by the scene described by He Yuzhu, and said excitedly: "Then according to Director He's plan, your factory will be very large by then, what a magnificent scene it will be."

"Yes, Teacher Li. Our factory will surely develop better and better in the future. However, to achieve the goals I have planned, we cannot do without a large number of outstanding technical personnel. So, I have to trouble Teacher Li. When you return to school, please report to the leaders of your department and ask them to assign a few more outstanding college students to our factory." He Yuzhu said hurriedly while the iron was hot.

Li Yang nodded and said seriously, "Okay, I'll report this to our department head when I get back. But Director He, what kind of university graduates do you plan to recruit?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Li, I don't know what majors your school has, but I can tell you what our factory may produce in the future. In addition to the trucks and jeeps mentioned earlier, I also plan to produce agricultural machinery and equipment, such as tractors, combine harvesters, and irrigation pumps; yes, there are also engineering vehicles, such as excavators and forklifts. Teacher Li, can you help me find out what majors meet the needs of our factory?"

After hearing He Yuzhu's outrageous request, Teacher Li Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Director He, what are you thinking? According to what you said, even if all the students in our school's mechanical department were assigned to your factory, they wouldn't be enough."

"Haha, Teacher Li, I'm just like Han Xin selecting soldiers - the more the better." He Yuzhu said with a smile, "If I don't ask for more, how can the superiors be willing to give us more?"

"I can only go back and talk to our department leaders. As for how many people can be assigned to your factory, that is not up to me to decide."

"It's okay. One or two is not too few, and thirty or forty is not too many." He Yuzhu put away his playful smile and continued seriously, "Teacher Li, how is the jeep research going now?"

"The overall progress is going smoothly now, because the frame we designed is relatively large, and there is more space reserved in the front part of the vehicle, so we can directly copy the engine and gearbox from the Red Star truck without any problems. But the current challenge is how to improve the comfort of the chassis. After all, we are now using steel plates for shock absorption on all four wheels. This configuration is acceptable when driving on good roads, but once the road conditions are poor, the body will shake greatly. So we need to find a way to improve the comfort of the vehicle."

He Yuzhu thought for a while and said, "Teacher Li, if we really can't improve the comfort of the frame, can we think of a way to directly improve the comfort of the seat? That is, we can also install some shock absorbers at the bottom of the seat, so that the vibration of the car body can be further reduced when it is transmitted to the human body."

He Yuzhu knew that cars have certain requirements for comfort, especially when driving at high speeds, they must have good shock absorption, so that the vibration caused by the ups and downs of the road can be filtered out during the driving process of the car, which requires a body suspension with superior performance. Although He Yuzhu also wanted to tell Li Yang about the multi-link suspension and McPherson suspension used in later cars, He Yuzhu had only heard of the names of these suspensions on the Internet, and he didn't understand the principles of them at all. So he could only produce the first prototype car first, and then slowly improve it in the future. After all, Rome was not built in a day. As long as the first prototype car is produced and passes the acceptance of the superior department, it will be officially put into production, so that continuous research and development and improvement can be made on the suspension in the future, and it can always be improved little by little.

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Teacher Li Yang's eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, why must we fight over the chassis? If the seat is made softer, it can still be so comfortable. So Teacher Li Yang asked, "Director He, do you have any good suggestions for the shock absorption under the seat?"

He Yuzhu held his hands in front of his chest, supported the joint of his right arm with his left hand, and touched his chin with his right hand. After thinking for a while, he said, "Teacher Li, what do you think of using a hydraulic shock absorber with a spring? I just don't know if we can make a suitable hydraulic shock absorber?"

The more Teacher Li Yang thought about it, the more he felt it was appropriate, so he said excitedly: "The processing of hydraulic shock absorbers is not complicated. The key is to have a suitable sealing ring. Director He, you must come to the workshop more often in the future. Your casual idea can help us solve a big problem."

"Don't worry, Mr. Li Yang. I am no longer the director of the logistics department. I will stay in the workshop whenever I have nothing to do. If I am not in the truck repair workshop, I will be in the steelmaking workshop. However, Mr. Li, our conditions are simple now. We can find another way to improve the comfort of the jeep through the seat, but this is not a formal solution after all. In the future, we still cannot give up the improvement of the chassis suspension, so as to promote the development of the automobile industry. By the way, Mr. Li, how is the research on the 4-cylinder gasoline engine and gearbox going?"

"Well, you are absolutely right! We will definitely keep working hard to continuously improve the chassis and suspension systems to make them more perfect. Director He, the progress of the four-cylinder gasoline engine and gearbox is very smooth, thanks to our previous in-depth research on Dodge trucks. Through reference and innovation, we easily developed a 4-cylinder gasoline engine for jeeps based on the six-cylinder gasoline engine. Now the test chassis is installed with the 4-cylinder gasoline engine and gearbox we developed. Although the 4-cylinder gasoline engine has nearly one-third less power than the previous 6-cylinder gasoline engine, it is still more than enough for the jeep. After completing a series of tests, we will be able to start producing the exterior of the car. I believe that it won't be long before Director He, Director He, you will be able to witness with your own eyes the car appearance that you carefully designed becomes a reality!" Li Yang said with a beaming eyebrow.

"Teacher Li, you must control the fuel consumption of the jeep and try to reduce it. If the fuel consumption is too high, I am worried that it will not pass the review of the higher authorities. If the review fails, we will not be able to organize production."

"Director He, don't worry about this, I have always paid special attention to it. By the way, I forgot to tell you that the fuel consumption of the four-cylinder gasoline engine we have developed is 20% lower than that of the original six-cylinder gasoline engine on Dodge trucks. According to my calculations, the final prototype car should have a fuel consumption of about liters per kilometers." Teacher Li Yang said happily.

Listening to Teacher Li Yang's amazing jeep fuel consumption, and looking at his happy face, He Yuzhu could only sigh helplessly in his heart. There was no way, after all, this was not the future, the thermal efficiency of the engine could not be compared with that of the future, so it was normal for the fuel consumption to be high. He Yuzhu also smiled and said, "That's great, this fuel consumption is relatively good."

"By the way, Teacher Li, has the problem with the rear axle gear of the Dodge truck been solved?" He Yuzhu then asked about the progress of the Dodge truck imitation that he was concerned about.

Teacher Li Yang smiled and replied: "We have already processed the appropriate rear axle gear and are currently in the testing stage. Whether it can be put into use depends on the final test results. If it can pass the test smoothly, it means that we have successfully completed the imitation of the Dodge truck. However, this testing process may be a bit longer."

"What's wrong? Did you encounter any difficulties?" He Yuzhu asked with some confusion.

"It's not a big problem. We just need to adjust the gear ratio of the rear axle. This requires us to conduct more tests to determine which gear ratio is more suitable for our country." Li Yang explained patiently.

"Okay, I understand. Then I'll have to ask Teacher Li and the students to work hard for a while. I think it won't be long before we can produce our own Red Star trucks and Red Star jeeps. Then we'll have made a double whammy, which should leave a wonderful mark in the history of our country's automobile industry." He Yuzhu said with a confident smile on his face.

"Well, to be honest, before I came to your factory, I really didn't believe that we could complete the imitation of Dodge trucks. Although the process is relatively long, we can already see the dawn of victory. Director He, I am really honored to have the opportunity to work with you." Teacher Li Yang said with emotion.

"Teacher Li, it is my great honor to work with you and all my classmates! But I am ashamed to say that we have tried so hard to imitate a truck that was produced more than ten years ago. In other words, we have just caught up with their level more than ten years ago. I really don't know when we can really catch up with them." He Yuzhu said to Li Yang with deep emotion. His eyes revealed a trace of worry, but more of it was determination and expectation.

Teacher Li Yang felt heavy-hearted after hearing what He Yuzhu said. But he quickly cheered up and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder: "Zhuzi, don't be discouraged. We have taken an important step. As long as we keep working hard, we will catch up one day." He held He Yuzhu's hand tightly and encouraged him.

He Yuzhu looked at Teacher Li Yang with gratitude, his eyes gleaming with determination. He nodded vigorously, indicating that he would continue to work hard. Then, he raised his fist and waved it at Teacher Li Yang, as if promising him that he would do his best.

Teacher Li Yang responded with a smile: "Well done, Zhuzi! Let's work together. I believe that we can achieve this goal in no time." The two smiled at each other, both full of confidence and hope.

At this time, He Yuzhu turned his head and stared at the workers who were busy working in the workshop. Each of them was focused on the work at hand without any slackness. These workers are the main force of the country's industrial development, and their hard work will determine the future direction.

He Yuzhu's eyes became more determined, and he whispered softly: "We will definitely catch up with and surpass the world's advanced level." This sentence is not only an encouragement to himself, but also an encouragement to all workers. He knows that only by working together and striving together can this great goal be achieved.

At this moment, He Yuzhu felt a sense of mission. He knew that he had a great responsibility, not only to work hard for his personal growth and development, but also to contribute to the prosperity of the country. He secretly made up his mind that no matter how great the difficulties and challenges were, he would persist and never give up. Because he firmly believed that as long as everyone united as one and moved forward courageously, they would be able to create their own glory.
