Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

Seeing Su Chen frowning, Wang Jianguo's heart also skipped a beat.

"It really doesn't work." Wang Jianguo thought to himself.

After he finished the prototype, he felt that something was missing, so he was conservative about whether it could work. This was an instinctive reaction accumulated by technicians over many years of experience.

If Wang Jianguo was asked to explain specifically why the situation was not ideal, he could not give a clear explanation.

Seeing Su Chen looking worried, Wang Jianguo stepped forward and tried to comfort him.

"Innovative design is always difficult to achieve, and you don't need to blame yourself too much, Director. After all, the possibility of failure is very high."

In this way, the content is re-described but key elements such as the original plot and names remain unchanged.

Although the water pipes and gas tanks in the factory were all made by Su Chen, making a piece of equipment truly practical is not as simple as imagined.

Even though Su Chen made it sound simple, it was just the operation of adding some water to the electric fan. However, this simplified model machine was successfully produced after Wang Jianguo and several other technical backbones spent a lot of effort.

Unfortunately, the factory manager was still not satisfied.

As Su Chen examined this preliminary test machine, he recalled the appearance of the air conditioners and fans he had seen before. He ignored the appearance for the moment and began to think carefully.

After some thought, Su Chen realized that this so-called electric fan air conditioner was missing a vital component.

Recalling the days when he used an air-conditioning fan, he once disassembled it and observed it. He found that there was a structure inside that was used for repeated freezing and thawing.

It is thanks to this crystal that the airflow blowing out from the air conditioner fan outlet can be cooled quickly.

At present, the functionality of this machine has basically been completed, and the remaining major gap is the improvement of this ice crystal and appearance. After realizing the problem, Su Chen immediately called assistant Zhang Aimin.

"Assistant Zhang, please go to the injection molding factory to buy some plastic molding molds and bring them back to the factory." He gave such instructions to Assistant Zhang, leaving everyone puzzled as to what new design he was planning.

Maybe Su Chen really has some ideas for improving the air-conditioning fan?

At first, Wang Jianguo and other technical personnel had already given up confidence in the further development of this machine, but when they saw Su Chen's determined look, a glimmer of hope was ignited in their hearts again. Maybe the product has reached the basic level set by the factory director?

In the hearts of the employees, they regard Suchen as a magical being who can turn decay into magic; he can not only revive the value of waste recycling, but also inject a rich source of funds into the factory; what is particularly valuable is that a successful person like him can still treat every employee equally. If it were not for Suchen's help and support, this cold-rolled iron plate workshop would have stopped operating long ago. The employees are full of admiration for Suchen. "What type of mold style do you need, factory director?"

Although he didn't know the considerations or reasons behind this request, Zhang Aimin chose to carry out the task without hesitation. His greatest strength is his strong obedience. No matter what task he receives, he will do his best to complete it. This is one of the advantages recognized by Su Chen. "Square or slightly longer plastic materials will do. Try to bring back as many as possible. As for the size, don't make it bigger than a radio device at hand."

After a little consideration, I originally intended to choose a more compact model version. Considering the possibility of a larger vertical air-conditioning fan production line in the future, I asked Assistant Zhang to bring back more options for later use. "I understand. Please arrange for someone to handle this matter immediately."

After getting the plastic model, Su Chen can start producing the required cooling ice cubes by himself.

As an important element of the structure, it also has the characteristics of exhaustion and renewal.

...Even after successfully selling out the air conditioning fans, as long as a steady supply of cooling units is guaranteed, the factory's economic inflow can be ensured to grow.

After giving instructions to Assistant Professor Zhang, Su Chen walked around the air-conditioned standing fan again and again, thinking about how to improve it.

After seeing his behavior, Wang Jianguo and other technical team members were surprised: Could it be that our respected business leader has found a solution? Although everyone has been thinking about this object for a long time, they have not found a feasible direction for improvement.

Although the fan was running and the water began to evaporate, everything seemed normal on the surface, but the wind was a little moister than usual and did not cool down the room significantly.

The workers also tried to inject ice water into the water tank. At first, they did feel a noticeable coolness, but as the temperature of the water tank gradually returned to normal, the wind blown by the electric fan returned to normal.

They even thought about putting ice cubes in the water tank, but found that the ice did not melt as quickly as the cold water reached room temperature.

Therefore, this cooled electric fan blew for a while.

But when the ice completely melts and the water temperature in the water tank returns to normal, the effect of the fan becomes limited. According to their measurements, it only takes a few minutes for the first cold water to return to normal temperature.

If you put ice cubes in again, it can last for about half an hour, but it is obviously impossible to add ice every half an hour.

It seems that the effect of this product is still quite different from the cooling effect like air conditioning described by Su Chen.

As a result, these technicians had no idea where to start and finally had to present the experimental prototype.

......

But judging from Su Chen's expression, he seemed to have found a solution. The other technical backbones hurried over to inquire.

"Director, do you have any solution to the problem of poor equipment cooling?"

"Director, in my opinion, this design has a significant flaw - it cannot continuously maintain the low temperature environment in the water tank."

"That's right. If the temperature is too high, the cooling effect will be poor; if the temperature is too low to a certain extreme point, it may damage the motor." Everyone discussed these issues around Su Chen.

Although the design plan had already been discussed many times, they still couldn't help but express their confusion and opinions in front of Su Chen.

"Your design ideas are correct," Su Chen hurriedly comforted these excited professionals. "It's just that some minor details need to be improved. I will explain further when the new mold arrives."

"Director, you already have a solution, don't you?" Hearing Su Chen's words, Wang Jianguo's eyes sparkled with hope, and he quickly squeezed into the crowd to ask questions. He didn't expect that Su Chen also empathized with the researchers' enthusiasm, and could only respond to everyone's curiosity with affirmations.

"After observing the missing parts of the air conditioning fans you made, I came up with an idea for how to improve it."

"Air-conditioning fan? The title of factory director is really appropriate. I think it fits the image and characteristics of our equipment very well." Wang Jianguo paid attention to the new title.

The team had been arguing for a long time about how to name the new product, and there was no consensus. Some advocated calling it a "water cooling fan," some thought it should be named "refrigeration fan," and some proposed calling it an "electric hybrid fan."

Although these people's technical level is among the best in the factory, they were at a loss when it came to naming their new product. In the end, Su Chen named it "Air Conditioning Fan" and it won unanimous praise from everyone.

"This is a good name. I think we should use the name 'Air Conditioning Fan'." Everyone responded.

What Su Chen did not expect was that the word he casually said in an emergency situation actually gave "air conditioning fan" a long-term name. Since he was used to calling it by this name, he naturally did not mind the way employees called it.

"I will show you the plastic molds once they arrive. Now please be patient and return to your work."

Faced with a group of big men crowding around, Su Chen felt a bit of a headache. He had to appease the technicians around him and let everyone return to their workstations.

"Yes, factory director."

Fortunately, these technicians did not really want to squeeze the factory director to the point of suffocation.

They gathered around the air-conditioning fan and pondered it again.

The only thing these technicians care about is the things they designed. Everything else seems to have nothing to do with them. Even for Su Chen, the factory director, they respect him verbally, but they don't really show respect. For these people, only by surpassing themselves in technology can they gain their respect.

Looking at this situation, Su Chen shook his head helplessly, and only felt better after pulling away a little. Despite this, these technical madmen who devoted themselves to research were exactly what his factory needed.

It seemed that through this scene, Su Chen foresaw the shadow of a future R&D team with multiple innovative products.

At the same time, while Su Chen was trying to produce ice crystals independently, the technicians who were recruited from other ** factories and given the engine design drawings were busy.

These technicians did not receive much attention in the ** factory where they used to work. In addition, many people lost their jobs due to the wave of layoffs. If the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was not willing to accept these talents, these technicians would have to struggle for a living.

Therefore, after receiving the topic assigned by Su Chen, he immediately devoted himself to the research and development process.

Most of these experts had gray hair. Years of excessive mental work had caused their bodies to age prematurely. Although they had white hair, most of them were only about 40 years old. Several experts sat around a large table about two meters long, on which were scattered drawing pencils and various drawing tools. These people were all well-known figures in their original positions, and now they were immersed in a discussion on the drawings drawn by Su Chen.

The design drawings have been clearly laid out and pinned to the blackboard on the wall, with detailed notes and markings attached to every detail, making the drawings themselves look like an unreadable text.

This design drawing of the engine was extremely detailed, not only describing the core structure of the turbine, but also many other parts. An old man with almost all his hair white was measuring carefully with a protractor in hand.

He said, "Yes, this is definitely a wide-string, flangeless, hollow structure!"

He held up the measuring tool for comparison while paying full attention to the impeller. The blade design with shoulders is still commonly used in China.

Because this type of blade design can reduce the damage caused by birds or other foreign objects hitting it, this type of jet vortex machine is mainly used in aerospace engineering. Therefore, the design of the extension part must meet the needs of high-altitude operations.

This type of design is currently widely used in aviation transportation. Although this type of fan blade can provide a higher rotation speed, thereby improving engine efficiency, it has a major disadvantage: it is prone to vibration. Because of its slender and weak body, it is likely to produce resonance during operation and cause wear and tear of the material.
