Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home

Luo Cheng, on the other hand, was chatting with Director Zhang in the factory director's office. In the morning, Luo Cheng complained to him that he had a house, but there was no pot, stove or hot water bottle. It was troublesome to wash up.

Director Zhang reassured Luo Cheng that the supply of pots and stoves was not tight. Generally, those who have these things at home will not buy more. The supply and marketing cooperative does require a ticket, but if you don’t have a ticket, if the pot is broken, you can exchange it for an old pot with extra money, or you can exchange the old pot for some scraps. The price of iron.

Director Zhang asked people from the logistics department to go directly to the blacksmithing place with their work certificate to buy pots, kettles and stoves for boiling water. It may be difficult to buy hot water bottles because there are no tickets. In fact, the factory can get more than ten hot water bottle tickets every year, but It's already November, and the thermos bottle tickets have been divided up long ago. If Luo Cheng doesn't mind the old thermos bottles in the canteen, he can buy one. At best, I'll get a thermos bottle next year and get another one from the factory to be sent to the canteen.

The stove burns coal, which is rationed according to household registration. One household has one hundred kilograms of coal per month. One hundred kilograms sounds like a lot, but a complete briquette weighs more than two kilograms. Many people use this for cooking, cooking, and even boiling water. Therefore, less than two briquettes a day is actually not enough.

When the weather is cold, some people still use coal for heating, so many units will give some coal coupons to their employees when the weather is cold.

"Director Zhang, it seems that our factory is not very profitable. There are not many cars in Ngee Ann City in total."

"We are a repair shop, a service industry, relying on technology, not production. Although there is not much benefit, this industry is special. Units with cars will take care of our factory during New Year and festivals, and the treatment in our factory is comparable. Many factories are much better.”

Luo Cheng nodded. Putting aside the benefits, this car repair shop can deal with many units, and there are not many employees in the factory. If you just discuss the key points, everyone can get a lot.

But wherever you go in this day and age, you need to pay for almost everything. There are only a few people who don’t need tickets, but the repair shop is one of them, and of course there are shuttle buses and the like.

"Director Zhang, you said that the bicycle factories in Hongcheng can produce motorcycles and supply them directly to the army. And whether it's a motorcycle or a bicycle, it's hard to buy one. If we also build a bicycle, come too Wouldn't it be awesome to be a master who gets a purchase note or something?"

Young people like to have whimsical ideas. When they build motorcycles, they have the resources and money of bicycle factories. What does this repair shop have? It requires money but not money, and it requires technology but not technology. Wait~~, Luo Cheng is only affiliated with the repair shop, his position is at the automobile factory, and he seems to have skills.

And as an engineer, you can apply for research and development projects independently. Even doing research requires losses. But as long as it passes the review and the project budget is within a reasonable range, once it passes, it's absolutely fine.

When the time comes, if we really want to build a car, it doesn’t matter how many wheels it has, as long as it can be driven. As long as it can be driven, there will be no shortage of cars these days. At that time, repair shops were allowed to sell them, and there was also a ticket purchase system. In this era, whoever's product has the greatest market demand is the boss.

At that time, it was really not a big deal to drink spicy food.

"Team Leader Luo, have you thought about what kind of car you want to get? If you really have a way to get it, you can report it to the superiors. Moreover, this can also be regarded as your own job. You can kill multiple birds with one stone."

Luo Cheng himself was joking. To be honest, he has not yet adapted to the position of engineer. Now that Director Zhang reminded him, he realized that what he said could actually be implemented by him. And now when he was studying the side three-wheel, he always felt a little familiar. If he didn't have the body of the side three-wheel, he seemed to be working on a simplified version of the car.

It's just that the old man was happy with electric tricycles in later generations, but now he is working on engines. To be more precise, what he is working on now is actually a combination of Biansanwan and Laotoule.

Of course, if he was asked to design it now, he would still have to get four wheels, no reason. Simply having one more wheel can cost several times the price. Those with three wheels are always called tricycles, while those with four wheels can be called cars.

This and that still need to be reconsidered. Director Luo Chengguan asked for some blank paper. I immediately started drawing a simplified version of the car chassis. Because the body is small and light, ordinary springs can be used for shock absorption. What's more, big cars now only use springs for shock absorption, and there are no hydraulic shock absorbers.

Get a small steering wheel, because the car body is light, and get a simplified version of the power pump to ensure that turning the steering wheel is easy.

Get a bigger engine than a motorcycle. The body can be made of simple iron sheets, as long as the production speed is fast. It would be too difficult to style it like a car. Just like the electric tricycles used to attract customers in later generations, just make a boxy one with a cover. At most, to keep up with the trend of the times, the body of the car is all military green.

And just get a transmission, so you can get three acceleration gears directly. The motorcycle's engine is small and has three acceleration gears, but they are hand-tightened and not locked. The car he built has a stronger engine than a motorcycle and is smaller than a car, but it is light in weight and can accelerate in three gears.

The chassis is drawn first. Unlike today's cars, the engine, water tank, wiring, etc. are all installed in front of the car. But what Luo Cheng painted is like there is no front end of the car. The car is a car, but those things are placed under the car body like a motorcycle. In this way, the body is easy to build, because the engine is placed under the car and the rocker is inconvenient, so it can be started by pedaling like a motorcycle.

Such car drawings don't need to be easy to draw, and they are easy to draw now, as long as the structure is clear.

In a few minutes, the drawing was completed. Director Zhang stood aside and looked at it. It was a square car without a front. It was too crude. And it seems to be much smaller than a normal car.

"How about this car? I promise it will be built very quickly. Then I just need to perfect it, have a frame, and assemble other things."

"Your boxy body is made of iron pipes and iron sheets? Wouldn't it be unsturdy?"

"Why do you want it to be so strong? This body doesn't require lathe stamping. It can be done by just any forger or welder. It doesn't hit things deliberately, and it can be protected from wind and rain. As long as there are accessories, it can be assembled by hand. If we don't do it this way, where will we get the output? And this is at least an iron frame. If it is bumped, the iron sheet will be deformed at most. It is actually very strong."

The cars these days are made thick and thick, unlike later generations which were made of paper and would flatten if you step on them hard. To be honest, the hardness of this body frame is no worse than that of later generations of cars.

"Can this car really be built?"

"Yes, it's not complicated. As long as the chassis is well designed, people in our factory can assemble it. Just tell me whether a car like this can be sold well."

It can protect you from wind and rain. Although the car is a bit small, it can still accommodate a few people. Even if you want to haul some cargo, get a removable back seat. No matter how it looks, it will definitely sell. You must know that many small factories and units do not have any cars. Anyone who can ride a bicycle is basically at the cadre level.
