Chapter 490 Machine Tool (3)

Lufus said to Li Zhiyang with a very complicated expression, and as he said that, he stood up, walked to the window of his office, opened the shutter blocking the glass window, nodded down, and gestured.

It seems that it is the pile of things he saw when he came in, Li Zhiyang thought in his heart

"Can I take a look and check the operation of those machines?"

Li Zhiyang asked with a smile, of course he had to inspect the goods when he bought something, and besides, what he wanted to buy this time was not a cheap thing.

"Absolutely. ”

This Lufus's answer was very bold, and this time the answer was also very simple, without the hesitation when he met Li Zhiyang for the first time, it seemed that he was also ruthless.

After Lufus finished speaking, he got up, took Li Zhiyang and Claude, and walked downstairs, this building was actually a factory situation building before.

It's just a row of LFT-like apartments built in Chengcheng, and below Lufus's office is where the machines are located.

Now those machine tools, most of them are covered with green canvas, it seems that they are in a closed state, Li Zhiyang looked at these machine tools, and knew the current production status of Chrysler.

It seems that the empire of the machine industry, which is the boss, is now at the point of declining, and it is not far from declaring bankruptcy.

According to Li Zhiyang's memory of his previous life, it won't be long before the former glory of the United States will declare bankruptcy protection, and then the American city government will take over here, but the U.S. government has injected a lot of money into this company, but if this company wants to restore its past glory, I don't know when it will have to wait.

Lufus took Li Zhiyang to the front of a row of machine tools and said to Li Zhiyang.

"Let's take a look at it from the recent single, this is a high-level CNC machine tool that we use to produce special bearings for engines, it is a nine-axis linkage product, the current high-end goods on the market, his life span is at least 30 years, if the protection is properly done, the upgrade is timely, and then use a 50 years, it is not a problem. ”

Lufus said, patted the big guy in front of him, his eyes were full of emotion, it seems that he still has a lot of feelings for these machines, after all, after he graduated from college, he started from here, and worked until he reached the position of the company's chief engineer, it can be said that most of his life has been dedicated to these machines, so how can he have no feelings for these machines?

"What kind of CNC machine can this CNC machine tool produce with an engine?"

Li Zhiyang asked, and in the eyes of Lufus, he was asking a very layman, but Lufus didn't say anything, just glanced down at the machine in front of him, and then replied.

"This machine tool is as large as the engine bearings of airplanes, fighter planes, and warships, and as small as the special bearings of automobiles, motorcycles, and bicycles, and he can produce them all. Haas USA products, one of my favorites. ”

Lufus explained over and over again, stroking the big guy in front of him over and over again, just like stroking his lover, Li Zhiyang felt a chill in his heart when he saw it

To be honest, this guy is more like a small subway train car, except that there is only one outward-facing gate, and in front of this electronic door is a computer terminal.

At this time, Lufus walked to the front of the computer terminal and said to Li Zhiyang.

"This is the heart of a CNC machine, the electronic control system, and the computer automatic compiler. You input the specifications of the special bearings you want, and then the computer will program itself according to the program to complete the production process and process, and this step is strict after the production. ”

Lufus explained to Li Zhiyang, but Li Zhiyang had only sold machine tools before, and he roughly knew the production process of a machine tool, but he was also a half-baked expert, and he still didn't know how machine tools worked.

So at this time, he asked Lufus very humbly.

"Mr. Lufus, I am a complete layman in the machine manufacturing industry, can you give me a detailed explanation of the design of this engine, the production process. ”

People are real experts, and they are buyers, so if you don't ask clearly, when will it be, Li Zhiyang will never do anything that suffers.

Lufs secretly rolled his eyes, to be honest, if he hadn't been forced to a certain point, he really wouldn't have thought of selling these machines to make a living, but life is a *, he was already cornered.

Lufus was angry for a while, and after calming down his emotions as soon as possible, he explained to Li Zhiyang.

"At the beginning of designing a car, some designers will design the shape of a car according to the tastes of consumers in the current market, after all, most people are visual animals, and they will not know too much about the soul of the car, so their first impression of the car you produce is very important, which is often a very critical place, which often determines whether your series of products can be bought. ”

Lufus began to explain to Li Zhiyang calmly.

"Then it comes to the design of the soul of a car, that is, the engine, and the engine designers will design an engine according to the size of the engine compartment of a car, as well as the layout, the weight of the whole vehicle, the weight of the engine, and the output power of the car. Every successful engine must have the following characteristics, that is, durable, robust, long-lasting, and can be used in many models, and also leave enough room for upgrades to be able to produce a series of derivative products, which are the key to a car, a brand's long-term popularity among consumers. ”

Li Zhiyang thinks that what Lufus said is very reasonable, but unfortunately Chrysler is still going to go out of business, I really don't know why Chrysler doesn't change to such a knowledgeable guy to lead, Li Zhiyang estimates that if this Lufus can take the position, then this company may be what it will look like

"Now let's talk about engines, first of all, those designers will design an engine according to the overall situation of the car, but at the beginning they will design a lot of different engines, but they will make a lot of models on the computer, conduct many computer simulation experiments, to see which engines are the best, and then we will select a few, through these machine tools to produce those engines, and finally physical loading, comparison, of course, these machine tools now, is the mother of those engines. Every component produced by these machine tools will be the key part of those engines in the future, and there must not be any deviation here, because often a few millimeters, or even a few microns, can affect the performance of an engine."

Lufus explained to Li Zhiyang with a serious expression.

"When the engine designers take the data they have designed, they will input the relevant information into the computer terminal of the machine tool, and the supercomputer in it will strictly program itself according to the data he enters, set the processing sequence, and complete the production. ”

Loufus said this, and Li Zhiyang basically understood the work sequence of this Chrysler's Chelsea test ground.

"So can you personally cover up for us Weifu?"

Li Zhiyang asked again.

"Of course, no problem, now inside this computer terminal is a bearing part of the Hummer's engine, and I will cover it up for you. ”

Lufus said, and Li Zhiyang nodded of course to indicate that there was no problem.

Because the production has been stopped here, many power facilities have not been opened, so a lot of assembly line equipment has also stopped, and Lufus can only find a trolley, go to the back material warehouse, and get a large iron ingot about 30 centimeters long and about 15 centimeters in diameter.

He pushed the big guy to the front of the machine, plugged it in, turned on the studio that looked like a subway car, and fixed the big iron ingot to a terminal.

Then Lufus walked outside, closed the door, and began to press a few times on the computer terminal, and Li Zhiyang walked to the window of the car door and looked inside.

The end of the iron ingot was fixed, but the big iron ingot was pushed forward, and then a mechanical arm moved over and began to work on the big iron ingot with different tools.

The whole process is very shocking, although Li Zhiyang can also rely on the experience of those months in his previous life, he claims to have been mixed in the machine tool industry.

But to be honest, the machine tools he bought are not comparable to the one in front of him, and the machine tool in front of him is simply making art.

Li Zhiyang has never seen such a scene, and it is completely beyond his imagination, where is this making a bearing, it is simply dealing with a work of art.

Li Zhiyang dared to be afraid of such a product, and made a guarantee that such a machine would never exist in the Celestial Empire at present, and it would never be produced.

In less than fifteen minutes, a large cylindrical iron ingot was transformed into a lotus-shaped special bearing.

In the end, even the grinding process was completed in this, from the production of raw materials to the production of a finished product, it only took a short fifteen minutes, Li Zhiyang was really shocked enough.

This thing is too powerful, no wonder most of the so-called independent car brands of our Celestial Empire can only order engines that people used ten years ago from the big mud bombardment country.

Because now, even the technology that people produced engines ten years ago has not yet been Li Zhiyang, and he can't help but really feel sad for the engine industry of the Celestial Empire

Because of such products, they simply don't have them, and this is really a kind of backwardness of cups

And Li Zhiyang's mind at this time is very clear, we are lagging behind not only in front of us, these machine tools for producing engines, even the big iron ingot used to be carved, are not so easy to produce.

As a big importer of iron ore, the reason why Da Ni Bang is not afraid of the price increase of those iron ore companies is because of the production technology of special bearing steel.

It's ridiculous that although our Celestial Empire claims to be the world's largest steel producer, it can't even produce such a simple steel ingot.

can only produce some broken copper and iron with very low added value, and then deceive the people in China, while the parents of those state-owned enterprises are still complacent and report good news every year

The more Li Zhiyang thought about it, the more he mentioned the people of the Heavenly Dynasty, and felt sad, everyone lives in a huge lie, if everyone can really live in the news broadcast, how good it would be

In the imperial capital, you can live in a low-rent house for 77 yuan, the annual salary rises, and the medical insurance construction is very perfect, everyone only needs to spend dozens of dollars to see a doctor, and the pi is more than five percent, which is not high at all

Li Zhiyang was still worried about the country and the people, when Lufs came over and asked.

"Mr. Li, how do you feel after reading it?"

"Very good, fantastic, really impressive, this machine is definitely a good thing. ”

Li Zhiyang's mouth came out of his mouth from time to time, and it seemed that he was completely conquered by this true performance.

Li Zhiyang raised his wrist and looked at the watch on his wrist, it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning, which was the typical morning tea time for American workers, so he said with a smile.

"We'll see the rest later, let's go have some coffee." ”

"You don't have to go outside, we have it upstairs, if Mr. Li doesn't dislike it, then let's go to the lounge above and have a drink, okay." ”

Lufus told Li Zhiyang that now that the real test site has stopped production, there are no workers to come to work at all, and he, the chief engineer, is on duty here every day, and by the way, he is a gatekeeper, and the rest of the people are either out and around submitting resumes, or they are preparing to move out of Detroit and leave this damn city.

"Alright then, let's go up and drink. ”

Li Zhiyang said with a smile, in fact, he had a few key questions, and he wanted to ask this Lufus, so he said that he was going to have coffee, and now he didn't have to go outside to waste time, of course it was better for him.

A few people went upstairs to the lounge, where a coffee machine came into view, and there were many glass jars with various coffee beans next to it, and there was even milk and biscuits in the refrigerator.

Li Zhiyang took a look, but he was thinking in his heart that the life of the American imperialist was too much...

It's just such a bunch of big bosses, and they are equipped with such good things, if our Celestial Empire deals with the bitterness of working on the production line, and gives you coffee?

If you want to go to the toilet, you have to ask me for leave, and you can't work for me for more than fifteen minutes a week, and then talk about it, and you have to work overtime every day, and you don't have any other insurance.

Is it any wonder that these American imperialists have no market now, so they can't bear hardships and stand hard work, and they still want to get job opportunities?

These guys, at first glance, are not forced out, they are completely habitual, they can have a few days like this, and they completely deserve it.

Li Zhiyang was still pondering there At this time, that Lufus had already skillfully taken out a lot of coffee beans from those jars, poured them into the coffee machine, and grinded out three cups of fragrant coffee.

After Lufus brought Li Zhiyang and Claude a cup of coffee each, the three of them returned to Lufus's office and sat down.

"To be honest, Lufus, I don't understand, from the conversation I just had, I can understand your familiarity with the automotive industry, but I don't understand why Chrysler wouldn't appoint you to the company's management, because it seems like you know more about the company's internal problems. ”

After Li Zhiyang took a sip of coffee, he asked Lufus with a smile.

"Hehe, don't mention it, the word office, Mr. Li, have you heard of Weifu? In short, the situation within the company is very complicated, there are the fools of the Chrysler family, and the fools of the Chicago consortium, stirring up in it, so I have to speak?"

Lufus said with a wry smile.

Sure enough, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, Li Zhiyang pondered in his heart

"And that's what I find strange, Mr. Lufus, why are you selling these such good machines?"

Li Zhiyang really couldn't help his curiosity and asked again, but after Lufus heard Li Zhiyang's question, the expression on his face was very strange.

After hesitating for a while, Lufus still gave Li Zhiyang an explanation.

"Mr. Lee, I have two daughters, a son, my eldest daughter is now doing a PhD at Harvard, my younger daughter is at Yale, and my son is at Princeton, and these schools are not very cheap. And the company I've worked so hard for all my life may soon declare bankruptcy, my pension and social security are all gone, and how likely do you think an old guy of my age will be able to find a new job?"

Lufus asked rhetorically, Li Zhiyang didn't speak, but he pondered that the reality was indeed very cruel

"I worked eight hours a day, never took sick leave, and when the economy was bad, I worked overtime in the company for free. Do you think that this should be the reward that I have been fighting for all my life, and then I should get Wefu? Could it be that our family was kicked out of their own homes, and then my children were laughed at by their classmates because they couldn't pay their tuition, and then dropped out of school, and the executives of those companies, after declaring the company bankrupt, could still take a lot of dollars in a certain beach in the Caribbean and continue to talk to those hot chicks, **, do you think this is reasonable?

At the end of the month, I asked for a few monthly passes, and the ants have been running naked for more than a month, and now it's all up to the big guys
