Section 303 Small Steam Engines
Second, the small type steam engine of the United States imperialism was successfully copied under the intervention of Jiang Ye and other machinery factories in the Shenzhen United Nations. Many special parts are handmade by two fitters, Sun Li and Xiao Gui. The size of the boiler of this steam engine is very special and in many ways it is very cleverly designed. It took a lot of brains for these two fitters.
The size is larger, the power is 10,000 percent smaller, and in general, it is basically okay.
"Don't underestimate it, it's much more efficient than the pot ostrich machine we brought." Billy Zhou said. "The loss is that it is imitated now, and if it was a year ago, it really couldn't be imitated." This year, the machinery factory has continued to add various special equipment for itself, and the tooling has gradually been completed. Plus continuous production practices. Skill levels are improving very quickly. They have also become more comfortable using the tools in their hands. There is also a lot of experience in the selection of alternative materials.
The small steam engine was quickly finalized and put into mass production, as it was light enough to be equipped with a chiban, and the motorization of this small boat was urgently needed by the Crossing Group. It is not only used for inland waterway traffic, but also on slightly larger dinghies for port patrols.
According to the instructions, the Labor and Energy Committee installed this kind of steam engine on the traffic boat, transformed it into a tugboat, and then built a special shallow draft barge according to Wang Luobin's drawings. Zhan Wuya was surprised when he saw the drawings.
"Wang Gong, are you a barge?"
"Barges, of course."
"I think it's similar to a coffin?" Zhan Wuya said, "The size is a little larger, and there is a slight streamlining under the waterline, so it's basically a floating coffin!" ”
In order to reduce the dead weight of the vessel, such small barges were made of riveted iron plates. It looks much thinner than a wooden boat, and of course the draft is much shallower.
"That's how it is." Wang Luobin said, "This is made by the British to transport coal on the canal. "Britain was the first country to systematize canals on a large scale, and the early canals did not have much water. There is no reliable power, and it is often pulled by a horse, so it is impossible to walk the big ship, and in some places the drop is large, and the barge must be pulled across the drop by a special ship lift. So the barge is not big. The draft should not be very deep. A small tugboat converted is enough to tow an old barge. The load of each barge is about 10,000 tons.
"10,000 tons is not its maximum load, it is a load set taking into account the safe draft. If the condition of the channel is better, it is not a problem to be blunt. ”
However, the draft of this thing is indeed shallow enough to meet the needs of navigation on the Nandu River. Tugboats equipped with small steam engines were able to barely get through. Of course, careful consideration was made for the load of the tugboat. Fuel can't be loaded too much. Only one-way can be accommodated. Anyway, you can also replenish fuel at Haijia Wharf. It's not too much of a problem.
Zhan Wuya plans to modify the Kankan traffic boat as a tugboat, and each tugboat can transport Gutun in a single voyage. The speed of the motor boat is relatively fast, and it can go on two voyages a day, and the lignite transported from the Jiazi mine every day is a red stew. In addition, after the commissioning of the coal washing plant, clean coal was transported. It is no longer the original butterfly that originally contained impurities, and the calculation inside and outside is equivalent to increasing the daily transportation volume to a level equivalent to the original transportation volume. The coal-coking complex is sufficient.
"It's actually impossible to sustain such a large volume." Zhan Wuya said, "I don't think the equipment integrity rate of this kind of steam engine will be so high. After deducting the time for regular maintenance and breakdown repairs, it is possible to keep the tugboat on the route. Even so, there was an old stew in the daily volume. ”
"You are too optimistic, if you want me to say, this tugboat can maintain and operate at the same time after half a year, and your machinery factory is a big explosion of character." Wang Luobin said.
"The small steam engine will definitely be mass-produced after half a year, and it will be replaced directly if it is broken!" Zhan Wuya was full of pride, "Just waiting to drive Tian Du's iron ore back." ”
Wang Luobin smiled, his pride was good, but things were obviously not so simple.
Ugly. Man landed on a deserted beach, and the scale of its action was larger. The day is even bigger. Moreover, it is necessary to carry out the project at the same time in the three directions at the same time, and there are much more materials to be prepared accordingly.
The entire production capacity of Lingao is running at full capacity, producing all kinds of materials needed to land in Yulinbao. Just the work clothes should be prepared with a warm suit. Originally, Mo Xiao'an planned to make a wangkou cover, and in his calculations, it was enough for each worker to wear a small set and prepare a small coat. But when he reported the production plan, Ma Qianzhuo told him what was going on. The numbers are not enough.
"You haven't done infrastructure work, it's not about consuming clothes, it's about eating clothes. A human body is the minimum. And shoes. At least 3 pairs per person. ”
"Damn, it's so powerful, the canvas and coarse cloth allocated to me by the Planning Commission are not enough."
"Take care of the factory and state to purchase another batch of good" Ma Qianzhuo thought of the last time Guangzhou called to say that there were British agents in the local area to sell a large number of Indian cotton cloth, the price is very cheap, but it is a pity that the domestic cloth in stock at that time
I don't know if there is anything else now, he muttered to himself.
"What did you say, Commissar Ma?"
"It's nothing," Ma Qianzhuo covered up and said, "You can do it quickly." ”
"But I still have an application for an additional sewing machine
I approved Ma Qianzhuo and glanced at the application. I quickly calculated the approximate amount of materials to be consumed, and agreed.
"That's great, but you'll have to talk to Zhan Wuya and them, hurry up for me, or you won't have time to make clothes
"I know, I know, you go and get busy first, don't send it."
After driving Mo Xiao'an out, he hurriedly called the vehicle factory again and asked if the vehicle manufacturing targets issued could be completed on time? "It's definitely too late". Li Chiqi straightened his throat and shouted on the other end of the phone.
The vehicle factory that Li Chiqi was in charge of was very busy. The vehicle factory has to produce three different vehicles at the same time, one is the wagons for the simple railway; A minecart used in the mining area, zuihou is a manpower wheelbarrow "Zidianchang".
Three kinds of vehicles were manufactured at the same time, and Li Chiqi and Jiang Muzhi were busy. The Bao Lei family recruited from Foshan played the role of the backbone of the indigenous jishu.
As soon as Bao Lei's family came out of the inspection camp, they were entrusted with an important task and became the foreman craftsman of the wheel manufacturing group. The father and son of the Bao family started from "like beggars." Mixed with food, clothing and shelter, to the "Australian shopkeeper." Thanksgiving. I work very hard. Soon a wide range of wheels with different wheel diameters were manufactured according to the requirements of the vehicle factory.
After Jiang Muzhi saw their craftsmanship, he felt that the product was quite good, except for the poor grasp of the tolerance of the Bao family father and son, the quality was perfect. The downside is that the manufacturing speed is too slow.
The Bao family father and son have a "purple electric reform" designed by the crossing group. The trolley was fascinating. The structure of the unicycle is simple, and it is easy to build. The Bao family father and son have built many cars in the past, but the secret of the Australian's trolley being able to build so light and so flexible and labor-saving is that he has always wanted to figure out.
In fact, Bao Lei still has a little disagreement in his heart. After arriving in Lingao, he did not have to worry about food and clothing, and although he was grateful to the Australians, Zidian inspired his greed. If only you could know how this kind of cart is made. Wouldn't it be a fortune to open a workshop at home!
But he soon found out that he was delusional, and although Bao Lei was poor, he was very proud of his craft. However, one day, after he found an excuse to sneak into the assembly workshop and witnessed the assembly process of Zidian, his confidence was completely shaken.
The craftsman who made the purple electric transformation actually used only a few simple iron skewers with wooden handles, and smoothly installed the car from a pile of scattered parts. Bao Lei has built a car himself, and knows that a car is the most laborious thing when it is installed, and constantly adjusts various parts, some places are fortified with wood chips, and some places have to be removed and planed with planers. It takes half a day for a trolley to be loaded up most smoothly.
Now, that's scary. The craftsman loaded more than 20 cars in less than half an hour. Each car was completed in one go, which shocked him too much. Dozens of cars. The parts of each car are exactly the same size! Australians are truly artisans! Since then, in addition to the fear of Li Chiqi and others, he has more respect for his peers.
Zuihou, when he saw the rolling bearing disc on the wheel axle of the trolley, Bao Lei knew that he would never want to imitate the purple electric transformation in his life, even the roughest imitation was wishful thinking, and there may be many skilled craftsmen who can have the ability to make iron into small beads and put them into round boxes, but such round boxes are never possible for him to purchase and load them in batches on the trolley, if this is the case, no one can afford the trolley he imitated.
Since then, Bao Lei has completely lost his heart to the Aussian people, he works hard, and no longer hides his own craft, and he is more enthusiastic about helping apprentices, he knows that his craft is a fart compared with Australians.
After the machinery factory found out the information, several special turbines were specially built for the vehicle factory. Bao Lei was terrified of this powerful machine that could knead hardwood like noodles, and he knew that it could completely replace his craft and do it better.
To this end, he studied and used it harder than other craftsmen, and soon became the most skilled worker in the use of equipment for wheel making. His youngest son Bao Bohong's jishu also improved quickly,
It seems that traditional craftsmen are also fully receptive to the new Jishu Li Chiqi said.
Jiang Muzhi scoffed: "Dang, he is because he is a destitute family and is working for us." If he had his own workshop, would he be willing?
