Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

"Stop drinking! I'm a dog if you don't stop drinking!"

Fang Xiang covered his head with his hands, which was aching profusely, and felt that life was worse than death.

He swore an oath viciously.

I looked around but didn't see Wei Shengli. I guess he had already gotten up and gone to work.

Last night, I picked up Wei Shengli’s girlfriend and had hotpot at Donglaishun.

It would have been fine if they just wanted to eat hotpot on such a hot day, but Wei Shengli also insisted on drinking.

Now, for some reason, the two of them got drunk.

In the end, Liu Shuying and Wei Shengli’s girlfriend didn’t know how to get home.

Instead, it was Fang Xiang who drove back with difficulty, crookedly.

After getting up, Fang Xiang washed up and took a shower, then walked to the central hall and started making tea for himself to sober up.

But suddenly I found that the front bumper of the jeep parked in the yard was crooked!

When Fang Xiang walked forward to take a look, he found that it was not only crooked, but also had paint peeling off.

But he couldn't remember where he crashed last night.

"Don't drink and drive, don't drive after drinking, don't drink and drive, don't drive after drinking..."

Fang Xiang slapped himself and kept muttering to himself.

After sitting there for a while, the water finally boiled, and just when Fang wanted to make tea.

"Fang Xiang! Fang Xiang!"

There was a knock on the door, and from the sound of it, it seemed to be Director Yin?

Fang Xiang was stunned for a moment. How did he know where he lived?

I wanted to play deaf and dumb and not hear anything, but I didn't expect that.

"Fang Xiang, I see you, don't just stand there like an idiot, open the door!"

Yin Qingqiu's voice also came from outside the door.

Okay, he must have seen me through the crack in the door.

Fang had no choice but to open the door.

"Hey! Have you been drinking?"

As soon as I entered the door, Director Yin came over with a smile.

Fang thought that he definitely couldn't smell it.

But it doesn’t mean others can’t smell it.

"Well, I drank a little last night, and I'm still dizzy now."

Fang Xiang nodded, which was considered an explanation.

"Humph!"

When Yin Qingqiu passed by Fang Xiang, he snorted harshly at him.

Just then, Fang Xiang realized that Yin Qingqiu was wearing a fresh and elegant sky-blue cheongsam today.

She also had a high ponytail on her head and wore high heels.

When passing by, the sound of "dengdengdeng" is particularly pleasant.

Fang Xiang followed with his head down, and led the two to the central hall which had been converted into a living room.

"You have a nice yard. Did you just buy it? It's very beautiful."

Director Yin put down what he was holding and looked around.

"Yeah, I just bought it."

Fang Xiang was too lazy to explain, and after the two of them sat down, he continued to make the tea he had just made.

"Isn't this tea set good?!"

Director Yin took the tea handed over by Fang Xiang and asked with a smile.

Fang Xiang was stunned for a moment before he realized that the tea set he was using was the one given by Director Yin.

"To be honest, this is the first time I use it."

Fang Xiang smiled and said that he didn’t have the chance before and didn’t dare to use it.

Now that I have moved to a new home, it is natural for me to take it out and use it.

"I'm glad you like it. I brought you another set this time, made of purple clay. Take a look?"

Director Yin picked up the bag that he had placed next to him.

He pulled out a large box made of some unknown wood.

When I opened it, I saw a purple clay teapot, a Xishi teapot, a purple clay fairness cup, and a purple clay covered bowl.

A bunch of purple clay tea pets, four purple clay cups, and a set of purple clay Six Gentlemen.

"What are you doing?"

As soon as Fang Xiang took a look at it, he felt uneasy, not to mention whether this set of purple clay tea sets was expensive or not.

The last time Director Yin came to my house with white porcelain tea sets, he asked me to take on two projects.

After more than half a year of hard work, the project was finally completed.

This time, I don’t know what kind of weird things will happen.

"This set of purple clay teapots was a tribute from Yixing, and was lost during the war.

Fortunately, I found it and it is included in my personal collection.

Since you like drinking tea, I think it is a good place for you.”

After Director Yin finished speaking, he took out two tinplate double-lid colorful barrels from the bag.

"This is top-quality Zhengshan Xiaozhong grapes newly picked in May this year. It is best brewed with purple clay."

Director Yin placed two round tea canisters next to the tea set and looked at Fang Xiang with a smile.

"Okay, tell me, what's going on this time?"

Fang wanted to slap himself on the forehead, knowing that he couldn't avoid it.

"To be honest, the CA-10C engine you designed last time.

FAW has already started installing it on newly manufactured CA-10 Jiefang trucks.

After testing, it is at least 10% or even 15% stronger than the original old model.

Then, they had a sudden idea and installed this engine on the CA-30 military truck.

But unfortunately the effect was not very obvious, so FAW asked if it could be done again for CA-30.

Optimize it or design a special engine, the horsepower and power do not need to be increased too much.

The main problem is the torque, which is not enough. The other problem is the fuel consumption, can it be lower? "

Director Yin smiled even more happily when he saw Fang Xiang’s helpless look.

He took out a simple blueprint from the bag and placed it in front of Fang Xiang.

"Did you get the wrong blueprint?"

Fang wanted to open the drawing and take a look. Something was wrong.

The picture clearly shows an 8-cylinder air-cooled diesel engine, and looking at the parameters, it has 180 horsepower and 132kw power.

The torque reaches an astonishing 706 Nm, and the marked fuel consumption is also frighteningly high, starting at 35 liters.

“Is this a diesel engine for a heavy truck?”

Fang Xiang looked carefully and it seemed that only the engine of a heavy truck could match it.

"Hey, what did I say? You really can understand it."

Director Yin smiled even more happily.

"What do you mean?"

Fang Xiang was a little dumbfounded. What was going on?

“This is a product of the Dongfanghong Automobile Factory, code-named LT665, which has just been developed.

Please show me this again."

Director Yin gave a brief explanation and then pulled out three more drawings from the bag.

"This is?"

After Fang Xiang took the drawing, he spread it out and looked at it carefully.

It was discovered that these are the specific parameters of three heavy-duty trucks.

But I don't understand it even more.

"What do you think of these three?"

Director Yin picked up the teapot and refilled his empty cup of tea with water.

“These two models are average, and the technology is a bit backward.

This one is OK, and it should be the best in the world at the moment. "

Fang wanted to separate the two drawings that he thought were not very good, and keep the one that looked pretty good.

“Sure enough, great minds think alike.

Do you think that the LT665 can be optimized or upgraded to the level of this engine? "

Director Yin picked up the teacup and sipped it slowly.

“Yes, there is, but the workload is not small, since we have the drawings of this engine.

Why should we optimize and upgrade LT665 when we can just use it directly?

Fang Xiang became even more confused. He already had the picture, so why was he still asking himself?

"Why......

You may not know that these three drawings cost the country a large amount of foreign exchange last month.

Bought from Gaul.

Not only are there complete vehicles, but also engines, gearboxes, chassis and traction systems.

These are things that cannot be independently developed in China.”

Director Yin sighed deeply and told Fang something he didn't know.

"Since we've already bought it, why not build it?"

Fang Xiang still didn't understand Director Yin's intention.

“It’s like this, the blueprints I bought are still on their way back to China.

The factory is ready, located in Sichuan Province, waiting for the equipment to be in place, installed and debugged.

The earliest that the prototype car will roll off the production line will be by the middle or second half of next year.

Coupled with the increasing production volume, it is likely that mass production will not be possible until 67 or even 68.

If we want to upgrade the model later, we will have to wait until 70 years later.”

Director Yin put down his teacup and began to speak earnestly.

"and then?"

Fang Xiang listened very attentively, but still didn't understand.

“But LT665 is different, the factory was built immediately and the product has been successfully developed.

As long as the product is finalized and approved, production can start at any time.

This will greatly shorten the time it takes to get equipment to the troops."

Director Yoon finally made it clear.

"What does this have to do with me?"
