The Rise of Heavy Industry 1980

Wang Chaoyang followed Zong Shiguo into the room at the back of the booth, and Zhang Lianjun's father and daughter were stopped by Zong Shiguo's assistant when they entered.

"The two of them were with me. Wang Chaoyang said.

"Okay, let them in too...... Oh yes, a few cups of hot tea. Zong Shiguo said to the assistant.

The exhibition hall is already simple, but this temporary room is even simpler, with four people sitting down and a small round table in the middle. Four cups of hot tea come up, and the water vapor wafts out, accompanied by the rich aroma of tea.

"This should be the Ming Dynasty Longjing of Shifeng Mountain, right?" Wang Chaoyang said casually.

"You know tea...... I love this bite, a friend gave it to me. Zong Shiguo glanced up at the assistant, who nodded, left the room and closed the door.

Zong Shiguo spoke again: "Young man, there are two more, what do you call them?"

Wang Chaoyang said: "My name is Wang Chaoyang, these two are Zhang Miaomiao and Uncle Zhang.

Zong Shiguo nodded and said: "Fang is in the front, I see that you seem to be familiar with the CC20-3 gearbox, why is this?"

Wang Chaoyang said: "Because the main shaft and driven shaft of the gearbox were designed by me and Zhang Miaomiao."

Zong Shiguo was surprised: "So you are from Dayou Machinery? I have met the engineers of Dayou Machinery, why haven't I seen two?"

"No, we are from Hongxing Machinery Factory. "

Red Star Machinery Factory?" Zong Shiguo wondered, "I'm sorry I don't know much, but I've looked at the supplier list of CC20-3, and there is no Red Star Machinery Factory, I'm very sure about this."

"That's exactly the problem.

Wang Chaoyang then briefly described the relationship between Hongxing Machinery Factory, Dayou Machinery and Changhai Agricultural Machinery. After hearing this, Zong Shiguo frowned even more, and at the same time showed anger on his face.

As a provincial engineer, it is understandable that he does not understand the details of procurement, but when it comes to the source of goods of the axis, such important information is concealed by subordinates, which is a very serious problem.

And now, Zong Shiguo remembers the "Red Star Factory" in a trance. The director and chief engineer of Changhai Agricultural Machinery were both suspended for investigation, and the reason seems to be related to the Red Star Factory.

In order to prove it, Wang Chaoyang immediately asked Zhang Miaomiao to introduce the design details of the shaft. Zhang Miaomiao said the key points of the two shafts concisely, especially the consideration of the reduction of the shaft diameter and the application of the gooseneck fillet, and finally said the precautions for spline rust prevention, which I just heard from Wang Chaoyang.

"Needless to say, the design of the shaft is indeed from the hands of the two of them!" Before Zhang Miaomiao finished speaking, Zong Shiguo made a judgment.

Wang Chaoyang finally added: "The strength calculation of the shaft and the design of the spline are all part of the design of the power transmission of the system. It is also based on these that I judge that the maximum transmission power of the system is 14 kilowatts.

Hearing this, Zong Shiguo's face was gloomy, and he took a sip of tea before saying: "Since it has come to this point, I don't need to hide it, in fact, your judgment is right, the maximum transmission power of the system is 14 kilowatts, which is the initial target value of the system design." However, as the design work progressed, we found that this value was difficult to guarantee, and finally had to settle for the next best thing, turning the maximum output power to 12 kilowatts.

After hearing this, Wang Chaoyang was quite calm.

But Zhang Miaomiao and Zhang Lianjun showed shocked expressions at the same time.

The boiling power system that was publicized by Changhai Agricultural Machinery turned out to be inferior goods. And these words came out of the mouth of the Zong Shiguo.

If these words were heard by others, I am afraid that it would cause an uproar.

"Because it is a key project led by the headquarters, the lack of maximum output power has been kept down as a secret. This matter has a great impact on the whole system and on the headquarters of Changhai Agricultural Machinery, so the three of them must not publicize it to the outside world. Zong Shiguo said earnestly.

Zhang Lianjun nodded again and again, and Zhang Miaomiao asked again: "Since there is a problem, why did you take 14 kilowatts as the target in the first place?"

Zong Shiguo wanted to speak and stopped: "This question is a good question, but it is not honorable to say it, so I won't say more."

Wang Chaoyang continued: "It must have something to do with industry competition, right?"

Zong Shiguo was slightly stunned: "You also know this."

Wang Chaoyang nodded.

As a later generation of the party, well aware of the dilemma of the domestic machinery industry in this period, its own foundation is not hard enough, and the competition from the outside is eyeing it, resulting in the initial development of the entire industrial industry is deformed, and there are many "model goods" and "copycat goods". So much so that at that time and in the decades since, "Made in China" has always been a somewhat derogatory term.

"This set of agricultural machinery power system, in addition to Changhai agricultural machinery, there are several foreign machinery giants, those foreign goods system is mature, the price is low, the pressure on Changhai agricultural machinery is very great. You can understand this. Zong Shiguo explained.

"The maximum transmission power of competitors is 14 kilowatts, so Changhai Agricultural Machinery has set 14 kilowatts as the target value?" Wang Chaoyang asked.

"That's right, so I say it's a helpless, but not very glamorous decision. Zong Shiguo sighed, and then stopped talking.

"Nope. Wang Chaoyang said.

"What?" Zong Shiguo didn't understand.

"I don't agree with your statement that this decision is not very glamorous. Western countries entered the industrial society more than 50 years ago, and the machinery giants have strong technological reserves. Our domestic technical reserves cannot be compared with theirs, but Changhai Agricultural Machinery has achieved a peak of 12 kilowatts, which is already very proud!" Wang Chaoyang said.

"I didn't expect to hear these words from a young man like you!" Zong Shiguo sighed.

"You didn't say it, but even if it's 12 kilowatts, you and your team have put in a lot of effort, right?" Wang Chaoyang added.

"......" Zong Shiguo's emotions became excited for a moment, and he held Wang Chaoyang's hand tightly with both hands.

Because Wang Chaoyang's words are on point. To outsiders, Zong Shiguo uses "inferior" to describe this power system, but he is very unhappy in his heart, because this "inferior" is the result of several months of hard work by him and his design team.

So Wang Chaoyang's words just ignited Zong Shiguo's emotions.

In fact, Wang Chaoyang also has a deep understanding of this emotion.

In later generations, Wang Chaoyang was engaged in aerospace, and as we all know, the previous aerospace technology was blocked by the United States imperialism and the Soviet Union, and the road of independent research and development was contained, restricted and even technologically encircled everywhere. Often, in order to overcome a technical problem, engineers have to put in months of effort.

The results may not be the best, but this should not lead to the judgment that the efforts of the engineers are "dishonorable"

! That is an insult to the engineers!

"Can you show me the design of this system?" Wang Chaoyang asked at this time.

"Of course, pony, go to the trunk and get my file bag!" Zong Shiguo shouted to the assistant.
