Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Li Huaide, Wang Fumin and Zhang Renkang were chatting happily downstairs. Some leaders of the Ministry of Industry and several heads of other factories who had arrived earlier hurried out of the office building, led by Duan Junyi and Lu Fangjie, and seven or eight people followed behind.

Li Huaide, Wang Fumin and Zhang Renkang hurried over with a smile and shouted:

"Duan Department, Lu Department"

Lu Fangjie was the most impatient person. He waved his hand and walked a few steps quickly, touching the front of the tricycle and asked curiously

"Li Huaide, what on earth have you done?"

"Doesn't this look like a span?"

"Is this the surprise you were talking about?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Junyi came up with a group of people and asked curiously

"Tell me, what's so special about this thing?"

Li Huaide said with a smile

"Two leaders, let me let Ren Kang introduce it to you. This is a project he personally led."

“He introduced it in detail”

Lu Fangjie said impatiently

"Hurry up, are you two still making excuses?"

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Report to the two leaders, leaders of the brother units, this is a new type of cargo tricycle that our factory has just developed. The maximum speed is 45km/h, the load capacity is within kilograms, and there is only one driver."

"The fuel tank uses 15 liters of fuel, and the driving distance is 35 kilometers at an average speed of 60 km/h."

"This is currently the first type of mass-produced vehicle, and is only suitable for driving on paved roads."

Zhang Renkang didn't waste any words and simply introduced the performance of the car, which immediately attracted the attention of Duan Junyi and Lu Fangjie. They were very interested in the load capacity and the 100-kilometer driving range. Just as they were about to ask questions, a voice from outside the crowd asked

"You said this is the first model? Do you have other models?"

“How is the quality stability of the car?”

Everyone looked back and saw two gray-haired old men in gray Zhongshan suits and another gray-haired old man coming up. The one who asked the question was the old man in the front.

Li Huaide quickly introduced

"Renkang, this is Comrade Liu Dong, General Secretary and Director of the Ministry of Industry."

"These two leaders are the Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the Deputy Director General, Comrade Gao Yang"

"Comrade Zhao Dingcheng, Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of Industry and Director of the Office"

(The unit and job title are made up by fans. This book is a fan fiction and is not real.)

Zhang Renkang immediately understood that the three giants of the industrial sector had arrived. The General Secretary was the top leader, and Secretary Gao Yang next to him must be the leader of the economic faction in the Ministry of Industry. As for Zhao Dingcheng, as expected, he should be Li Huaide's father-in-law and Zhao Jianjun's father.

Hurry up and say

"Reporting to Secretary Liu, Deputy Secretary Gao, and Deputy Secretary Zhao, there is a second model under design and debugging, the purpose is to solve some problems of the first model."

"The main defect of the first type of mass-produced vehicle is that it cannot withstand high-intensity bumps, which can easily lead to the breakage of the connecting beam between the towing motorcycle and the rear load-carrying truck bed."

"Another off-road capability did not meet expectations."

Liu Dong nodded and walked over and said

"Isn't this the same principle as a sidecar tricycle? You just removed the space on the side for people and added a cargo box at the back?"

Zhang Renkang shook his head and said

"In theory, yes, but this is not a vehicle series or development direction. The reason we designed this vehicle was that when we were dealing with things in the countryside, we felt that there was a lack of a low-cost mechanical vehicle that could carry heavy loads and people."

“So the idea of ​​designing this tricycle came to mind.”

"The main design concept and technology has a load capacity of no less than 300 kilograms, can achieve good passability on unpaved roads, is flexible and easy to control, and the range does not need to be increased. It can fully meet the use within 100 kilometers."

“Later, we discovered that we also needed some small and practical vehicles to patrol and transport certain materials within the factory area.”

"So we finalized this Dekang brand three-wheeled freight vehicle a few days ago."

Liu Dong nodded, got on the car and asked curiously

"Like the way a motorcycle starts?"

Without waiting for Zhang Renkang to remind him, Liu Dong turned the key and the tricycle rushed out with a roar. Liu Dong turned around and drove around the front of the Ministry of Industry building, slowly getting used to the driving style of this vehicle.

Li Huaide and Zhang Renkang were so scared when they saw that he didn't flip over and was able to drive over. Li Huaide's heart was in his throat just now. If he made Liu Dong fall again today, he couldn't bear the responsibility.

Liu Dong said with a smile

"This thing is really good, you guys try it too, be gentle when you step on the accelerator, it almost pushed me out just now."

Smiling, he got out of the car and gave it to Gao Yang, who was staring at him eagerly. Zhao Dingcheng also got into Zhang Renkang's car. Under Zhang Renkang's instruction, he started the car, slowly stepped on the accelerator, turned forward, and drove to the side of the office building.

Liu Dong nodded and said

"Huide, this thing you made is good. If it can be popularized, it will probably become the main force in various parts of the country."

"Comrade Zhang Renkang, right? You are amazing. When Minister Duan and Minister Lu came back to praise you last time, I thought they were exaggerating. Although you are young, you are really capable."

"I think Wilder has discovered a talent this time."

Li Huaide said with a smile

"It is also because Renkang is very capable and has indeed made considerable contributions during this period."

Liu Dong looked at Zhang Renkang and patted him on the shoulder affectionately and said

"What's the point of you being a type 2?"

"Tell me when it can be put into production"

Zhang Renkang said

"The second type is mainly to solve the problem of increasing the strength of the vehicle structure and the off-road performance and stability on unpaved roads."

"We are currently trying to solve the metal material and engine problems."

"The diesel engine used in the first model is indeed too noisy and the power is very unstable"

"We plan to replace the gasoline engine to increase the stability of kinetic energy output"

Liu Dong frowned, thought for a while and asked

“How much does it cost to produce?”

Zhang Renkang said quickly

"The production of the first model is still in the process of adjustment, mainly because the technical workers need time to train. The cost is stable at 1500 yuan. We are confident that after the production volume increases to 5000 vehicles, the cost will stabilize at 1200 yuan."

"The current estimated cost of the second model is about 2000 yuan per vehicle, after all, the new alloy material and gasoline engine require higher costs."

“But we still lack some technical talents to conduct more in-depth research.”

Liu Dong looked at Zhang Renkang and the factory managers and the leaders of the Ministry of Industry who were taking turns to test the machines, and suddenly said

"The factory can't help you much with technical talent. If you have suitable candidates, you can bring them forward and the department will solve the problem of allocation."

"I will help you contact the 387th Institute for the new alloy. You can communicate with them. Also, your factory should strengthen the training of talents. You can conduct your own research on new alloys and materials. The department will support you with a certain amount of funds."

"Engine problems"

Liu Dong looked at Duan Junyi who had just come over and said

"Jun Yi, coordinate with the engine research unit under you to go to the steel mill to provide technical support."

"We will produce 8000 of the first model. You will keep 2000 for yourselves and send the rest to the departments for allocation. We will research the second model as soon as possible and have a result by the New Year. Do you understand?"

Li Huaide quickly promised to

"Yes, Secretary Liu, we will definitely speed up the research progress and strive to produce results as soon as possible."

Liu Dong said with a smile

"Well, it looks like you guys at Red Star will be the first again in the next few months, that's great."

“We just hope to see that you can have this enthusiasm.”

How could Liu Dong not see the potential of this tricycle? If the technical level is as Zhang Renkang said, once it matures and stabilizes, the control over the entire village will not only be greatly strengthened, but it will also be a good helper in production and construction in various places.

Even the military may not be uninterested in this thing. It is definitely much better than a truck fleet for logistics transportation within a certain range.

But this thing also consumes a lot of fuel. I don't know if the domestic gasoline production can be increased in the future. But this problem is not something that their Ministry of Industry should consider. Let the Ministry of Energy worry about how to solve it.
