Chapter 141: This is a system problem
Wang Weilong was originally holding a piece of meat with chopsticks and was about to send it to his mouth, when he heard Feng Xiaochen say the word "but", he put down the chopsticks, looked at Feng Xiaochen, and waited to listen to his next words. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"With all due respect, we still have a lot of problems with this dump truck. I have just read our test records, and the contents recorded above are really not optimistic: the steel of the frame is not up to par, and there are serious cracks in the test, which can only be repaired by welding on the spot; the casting process of the motor seat is immature, and it has to be manually corrected in the later stage; the quality of the seals of the oil and gas suspension is not good, and there are three oil leaks in two months; the diesel engine is purchased parts, which do not match the vehicle......"
Feng Xiaochen counted the problems of the dump truck with his fingers, Wang Weilong and Chen Bangpeng beside him listened with a smile at first, and occasionally nodded in agreement, and when they heard the back, the faces of the two people were a little embarrassed.
"Xiao Feng, these situations you mentioned exist all of them. However, there is no reason why there are no problems in industrial testing, and if there are no such problems, why should we do industrial testing, just direct production. ”
Chen Bangpeng interrupted Feng Xiaochen's words and said to him. In view of the fact that Feng Xiaochen showed his hand to him before, which convinced him, Chen Bangpeng's attitude was still very tactful, and he did not show a furious appearance.
Wang Weilong also smiled and said: "Xiao Feng, you are too demanding, these problems are too normal, I think when we started the 45-ton dump truck, there were many more problems than this, and now the 45-ton truck has also been finalized?"
Feng Xiaochen also said with a smile: "Yes, the 45-ton dump truck has been finalized, but have all the problems been solved? How many of the problems exposed by the 120-ton dump truck already existed when the 45-ton truck was there? Can these problems be solved when we develop the 220-ton dump truck in the next step?"
"This ......" Wang Weilong and Chen Bangpeng were dumbfounded, this question was too sharp for them to answer. More than half of the problems exposed in the 120-ton dump truck were left behind when the 45-ton truck was left.
For example, when developing a 45-ton dump truck, there was already a problem with the casting process of the motor base, and then the factory made a set of soil methods, which was considered to have solved this problem, and the factory also gave bonuses to the corresponding personnel. From then to now, hundreds of 45-ton dump trucks have been built, and each motor base is solved by such a local method, and everyone does not feel that there is anything wrong.
By the time the 120-ton dump truck was developed, the problem came out, and the soil method of the 45-ton truck could not be transplanted to the 120-ton truck. Because the original soil method is the method of pulling seedlings to help grow, just able to solve the problem of 45 tons, and when the load tonnage of the vehicle is increased, the volume and load of the motor are further improved, this soil method can not do anything, can only re-develop a new set of soil methods.
Wang Weilong and Chen Bangpeng are both engaged in technology, and they don't know that technology requires a rigorous attitude, and this kind of local method can only be dealt with for a while, and cannot be dealt with forever. But the problem is that once the vehicle passes the industrial test, the technology is finalized, and the leaders from top to bottom think that there is no problem and can be put into batches. At this time, the leader will not allocate funds to you or give you time to do further research, but will urge you to hurry into the next project. In this way, the original technology that was only intended to deal with it first has been used for a long time.
Wang Weilong took out the 45-ton dump truck as evidence, but in fact, he dug a hole for himself, but became Feng Xiaochen's handle. The problem of the 45-ton dump truck is really not solved, and even when it can be solved is an unanswerable question.
"Xiao Feng, your question...... Alas, there really can't be helped. Wang Weilong sighed.
Chen Bangpeng also understood what Feng Xiaochen meant, he sighed and said, "Xiao Feng's question is so sharp, we are all embarrassed. ”
Feng Xiaochen said: "Director Wang, Chen Gong, when I looked at our test records just now, I was thinking about this problem. The purpose of industrial testing is to expose problems, and our solution should not be a headache or a pain in the feet, but to find the root cause of the problem and solve it fundamentally, so that our product development can have a sustainable character. ”
That being said, we all know that it should be. Wang Weilong said, "For example, the problem of motor base casting, Lao Chen and I both know that the current steel grade is unreasonable, and a new casting steel needs to be developed." The time to build the car is tight and the task is heavy, so how can we have the time to develop the steel first, and then to carry out the casting? This time, the motor base is jointly developed by us and the Zhongyuan Iron and Steel Plant, and we hope that the Zhongyuan Iron and Steel Plant can spend some time to solve the steel problem. ”
"Has it been solved?" Feng Xiaochen asked.
Wang Weilong smiled bitterly: "They promised to set up a project to do, but ......."
He didn't go on, and everyone could understand the subtext.
So far, only one 120 dump truck has been built, and it is still unknown how much it plans to build in the future, and of course Zhongyuan Iron and Steel Plant will not develop a steel product alone for this car. Besides, dump trucks are Luo Ye's business, and Zhongyuan Iron and Steel Plant is only a cooperative factory, so naturally there will be no enthusiasm to solve the problem of steel. If there is no problem with the motor seat in the industrial test, then everyone is happy, and this matter is in the past. If there is a problem, we can find a way, such as adding a gasket here, a solder joint there, etc., in short, we can deal with the past. As for what to do in the future, didn't the ancients say that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and people can still suffocate urine?
Chen Bangpeng took a sip of wine and said: "There is really no way about this, we have been here for so many years, unless the entire scientific research and production system is changed." ”
"How to change?" Feng Xiaochen asked.
Chen Bangpeng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm just talking casually, how do I know how to change it." I think we should have some long-term vision and set some big goals. For example, the dump truck seems to be the business of our Luo Ye family, but many of the technologies involved are also useful for other enterprises, which cannot be developed by our Luo Ye family, but should be uniformly arranged by the state for research, and the researched technology will be handed over to various enterprises for production.
Let's just say that the motor base steel that Lao Wang said just now, if it can be developed, it can be used in many places, which is equivalent to filling a domestic gap. But if we let Luo Ye do this, we are really not good at it. Let Sinosteel do it, and they have no enthusiasm. ”
Wang Weilong also said: "Lao Chen is right, this kind of thing should be arranged by the reunification of the country. Xiao Feng, do you know, our Director Luo has always had this point of view, believing that the country's major equipment research and development should be managed by one unit to avoid fighting their own battles. ”
"Director Luo has such a point of view?" Feng Xiaochen asked curiously, he remembered that he had some discussions with Luo Xiangfei on the development of major equipment, and Luo Xiangfei also said that he planned to let him participate in a special research team organized by the Ministry of Machinery and the Ministry of Coal, but then he didn't know why. Regarding the centralized management of major equipment research and development, he really never heard Luo Xiangfei talk about it.
Wang Weilong said: "You have been in Nanjiang for a while, and it is normal that you have not heard of this. It is said that Director Luo was inspired by you when he came up with this idea. ”
"Really? It's probably a lie. Feng Xiaochen said.
The centralized and unified management of the research and development of major equipment is a real thing in history, but it is a few years later than the current time. It is precisely because of the fact that the state has set up a "major equipment office" to coordinate the research and development of major equipment. Feng Xiaochen was the head of the strategy department in this office in his previous life. He is well aware of the superiority of this kind of unity and coordination, and in the process of contact with Meng Fanze and Luo Xiangfei, he has made such suggestions from time to time, and Luo Xiangfei said that his idea was inspired by Feng Xiaochen, and it is not surprising.
"It would be great if it could be managed in one place. Chen Bangpeng said, "Let's develop this dump truck in Luoye, it's easy to say how hard our own people are, but when it comes to departmental coordination, it takes a lot of effort." It's okay if people are willing to help, but if people are not willing to help, we have nothing to do. Let's just say that the industrial test has dragged on for more than two years, and we are still in the same system as the cold water mine, so it is so difficult, if it is cross-system coordination, it is simply difficult. ”
"Alas, cross-system coordination is easier said than done. Wang Weilong said, "Lao Chen, when I was in Luoye in the past, I didn't know the mystery here. When I arrived in the capital and participated in the coordination meeting of some departments, I knew what it meant to involve the whole body. Each ministry and commission has its own ideas, and the Economic Commission is nominally a comprehensive coordination department, but in the end, it depends on the face of each unit. ”
"Yes, this is the system problem!" Chen Bangpeng launched a rambling grumble. In the past two years, the state has liberalized its academic thinking, and many scholars like to talk about institutional issues, and even people in society have learned this word, and when they encounter problems that cannot be solved, they will go to the system. In fact, the central authorities are happy to see this kind of discussion, because the top level has been brewing a larger-scale reform of the economic system, and public opinion among the people is also an important ideological preparation.
"That's what the leaders are worried about, come on, come on, let's do one. Wang Weilong raised his wine glass and made an initiative to everyone with a smile. (To be continued.) )
