Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

"I don't have any idea. I'll listen to you."

Ji Pengwei was stunned for a moment and immediately spoke.

"Go and have a look."

Fang Xiang smiled. It seemed that Ji Pengwei's attitude was very correct.

It's worth it that I transferred him from Second Automobile Works.

After saying that, he walked to the maintenance area.

At this time, there were already more than a dozen engineers surrounding this legendary machine.

Although these engineers were transferred from all over the country.

But the rules in the factory were all copied from Second Automobile Works.

The habit of dismantling the cars that have just rolled off the production line for test runs has also been retained.

But in the blink of an eye, the car was dismantled into parts.

“The car is in perfect condition.

It’s no different from the previous generation 115 that I remember. ”

Soon, Ji Pengwei, who was doing the work himself, stood in front of Fang Xiang, rubbing his hands with oil and mud.

“Well, then fight back and keep running.

Look at the next car."

Fang Xiang nodded, didn't say anything more, and walked to the next car.

"This one is in the same condition, nothing to complain about."

Soon, the second car was also inspected.

Soon after, the third, fourth and fifth cars were also dismantled.

Just like the previous two, no problems were found.

This is the benefit of old production lines and drawings.

They are all mature, so the probability of problems naturally occurring is also reduced to the lowest.

Although the people doing the work are different, they are all technical personnel with the title of engineer.

However, if it is replaced by an ordinary worker, it will still have to be checked again.

Fang Xiang secretly made plans in his mind.

He was too lazy to read the rest.

As for the next car, he has actually almost finished drawing it.

Yes, he was not idle when these legends were still on the production line.

It’s just that this car is a brand new design.

Therefore, the progress must be much slower than the legend.

It can be said to be a brand new design, but for many things, Fang Xiang still adhered to the mature technology that could be used and decisively used it.

Even if it cannot be used, it will be designed using the most mature technology.

Therefore, although the progress of the second car is slow, it is not much slower.

In addition, there is actually nothing to design about this new car, it can almost be said to be extremely simple.

That’s right, the second car is the Hongguang, which is known as the national god car.

This car, which has been at the top of the sales charts for many years, is often overlooked by various statistics.

There is nothing we can do. We sell millions of units every year. If the number drops below one million one day, that would be news.

With this car that can carry passengers and cargo, you can even go to the desert to play in the sand.

And it can even beat some three-cylinder cars. Isn’t that infuriating?

In fact, the first thing Fang Xiang wanted to take out was this car.

However, Liu Qiwen couldn't resist the urge to see the production start as soon as possible.

So I had to come in second.

It is said to be a brand new design, but in fact, the only new things are its engine and chassis.

1.0 four-cylinder, using mature (outdated) technology.

The same goes for the chassis and clutch, which are as simple as they can be.

Then cover it with a layer of leather and put a few seats in it.

You see, anyone can design it.

So when this drawing appeared in front of GAC designers.

His jaw dropped to the ground.

“Can this be used to call a taxi?”

"what car is this?"

“What can this car do?”

“Who would buy this car?”

"It's too ugly to look at..."

"Is Professor Fang teasing us?"

"Professor Fang has run out of ideas..."

Hearing the discussions that were even more excessive than the last time, Fang Xiang couldn't help but frown this time.

“Okay, stop talking nonsense.

Build it first!"

But soon, Ji Pengwei spoke.

As an old employee of Second Automobile Works, he witnessed how BMW went from being unknown to being in high demand all over the world.

Although he once doubted Fang Xiang, he never wavered in his belief in Fang Xiang's skills.

No matter what this car was designed for.

But at least now, Ji Pengwei did not feel that he had the qualifications to doubt Fang Xiang.

Not only should we not doubt it, we must also protect it.

After all, his future depended on Fang Xiang.

How could I not speak for Fang Xiang?

"Come on, I found out today that there is something wrong with the data of Legend. I have to study it."

"I can't. I'm not good at this type of car..."

"I don't have time either. There are still many things in the legend that I don't understand."

"Why don't you go? Didn't you say a few days ago that you are Professor Fang's biggest supporter?"

"I... I'm not feeling well. I've had a cold these past few days and I have a headache. Yes, a headache!"

"What nonsense! If you have a cold, you have a cold. If you don't have a cold, you don't have a cold. What do you mean by wanting to have a cold?"

"How about you come?!"

"My son is sick recently, I want to take a leave..."

As soon as they heard Ji Pengwei say he wanted to build a car, a group of engineers immediately started to find various excuses and reasons to shirk their responsibilities.

There is no longer the eagerness and courage to move forward when creating a legend.

“It’s outrageous…

Professor, just leave it to me!"

Ji Pengwei was also dumbfounded at this time. Just when he was about to curse, he suddenly reacted.

He immediately looked at Fang Xiang.

"No, I'll do it myself."

Fang Xiang shook his head. This car actually didn't have much technical content.

Since these people are unwilling to do it, then just do it yourself.

As for Ji Pengwei, he still wanted Ji Pengwei to keep an eye on the production of Legend.

More than a week has passed since the legend went offline.

After dismantling the machine twice on the first day without finding any problems, the issue of mass production was brought up.

Fang Xiang had no objection to this.

Faced with three or five phone calls and inquiries from Liu Qiwen every day.

Fang Xiang unconsciously increased his speed.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, you should always take it out for a walk.

Even if there are any problems later, a recall will be carried out.

After all, it is a car model that cannot be simpler.

Except for the engine, there is no production line and it needs to be made by skilled workers.

But even so, it only took three days to produce four Hongguang cars.

"Run."

Fang Xiang once again stood at the test site.

Soon, the four Hongguangs were running.

After a day's running, there were no other problems except that one engine had slight cylinder pulling due to a slight deviation when rubbing it by hand.

“Take down the rear seats of the two vehicles and load the goods.

Start with 500 kilograms, and add 100 kilograms every half a day.

Until you find that the chassis can no longer bear it, tell me the data. "

After watching the car run for a day, Fang Xiang arranged the tasks for the next day's test drive.

At this time, some smart engineers began to think with their heads down.

The next day, he first ran with 500 kilograms for half a day, and then changed to 600 kilograms in the afternoon.

On the third day, it became 700 kilograms and 800 kilograms. By then, some people had already noticed something was wrong.

On the fourth day, the weight of the cargo had reached 1000 kilograms. At this point, basically any engineer would understand what this vehicle is used for.

On the fifth day, I saw that the car had been running for a whole day with a load of 1200 pounds and still had no pressure.

Many engineers expressed their admiration, while even more began to blame themselves for the mocking words they had said that day.

On the sixth day, the weight increased to 1400 kilograms.

Some people have already started betting that these two cars will not survive today.

Unfortunately, they were disappointed.

It was not until the seventh day, when the weight reached 1500 kilograms, that the floor of the car began to deform, but Fang Xiang continued to increase the load to 1600 kilograms.

He planned to see what the limits of this car were.

At this time, most of the engineers watching believed that the car would not survive the evening.

But these people were disappointed again.

On the eighth day, the weight reached 1700 kilograms, and it was almost time to reach noon when one of the cars finally had a problem.

But this question surprised everyone.

Because the problem was actually the tires that couldn't hold up first, not the chassis.

So, the car with the problem got a new set of tires, the weight was increased to 1800 pounds, and it continued to run.

Everyone was silent at this time.

No one dared to believe the scene before their eyes, but it happened right in front of everyone's eyes.
