The suddenness of the day of the Red Star Factory, at least Li Lu, he did not expect that the first tractor trial-produced only took one day and one night, and the quality withstood the test.

When Pei Lei heard the news, it was already noon, and he and Ma Jintao inspected the tractor again. Pei Lei is the technical leader of Guangming Factory, and the Nanfang Type 15 walk-behind tractor was developed under his auspices.

Ma Jintao nodded slightly with his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "Lao Pei, your foundation is getting deeper and deeper, and the basic design of this tractor is just right." It's just that the materials are a little worse. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the bearing where it was suspended, where there was tiny debris.

Pei Lei said, "That's the matter of you, a material expert, come up with better materials as soon as possible." ”

Ma Jintao looked at Li Lu on the side with a smile and said, "Xiao Li, these workers you invited from Yituo are very skilled, and the errors of these workpieces far exceed the technical indicators." ”

Li Lu naturally slapped the sycophants, "That's your credit, without your thousand needles, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly." ”

Smiling, Ma Jintao pointed at Pei Lei, and said casually, "You are the first person to drive, the chief engineer of the Southern 15 tractor is here, do you have any suggestions for improvement, give him a mention." ”

He just said it so casually, but the result was, Li Lu took a few steps forward, pointed to the tractor driving position, and said seriously, "Pei Gong, I have a few suggestions for improvement for reference." First of all, the driver's seat cushion had to be changed to a softer material, which was too hard. This tractor drives most frequently on bumpy roads, and it is uncomfortable to sit on, and the customer experience will be poor. Secondly, you should add a roof to the driver's seat to shade the sun and rain or something, and it doesn't cost much. ”

Ma Jintao was slightly stunned and looked at Li Lu, but he didn't expect that he really put forward suggestions for improvement. Even if it can be used in Ma Jintao's thoughts, as for Li Lu's suggestions based on humane considerations, he has never thought of it.

Pei Lei also didn't think that this was an era to solve problems.

But he won't be surprised by this, he knows Li Lu's ability best, and he doesn't understand Li Lu's ability the most. He seems to know a little bit of everything, but he is not good at anything, and it is an exaggeration to say that he is an all-rounder, but it is as if he had a deep experience of using something or had the ability to predict something.

Li Luzai continued, pointing to the frame and saying, "The second point is, can we change the straight type of the front and body to the wedge-type type?" In this way, customers can separate the front of the car from the body when they need it, install the tillage kit when they need to work on it, and hang it on the body when they need to transport it, so that one car can be used for multiple purposes, which is more cost-effective. ”

Pei Lei's eyes had lit up, and Ma Jintao was even more stunned - this kid's idea is good!

Smiling, Li Ludao, "Pei Gong, there should be no technical difficulty in achieving this. ”

Shaking his head, Pei Lei said, "Obviously not." Xiao Li, your suggestion is really good. Tell me, what other good ideas are there? ”

Li Lu spread his hands and said, "At present, I have these suggestions, and I can consider more in terms of humanization, so that customers can use it more comfortably and simply." At the same price, if you buy a better tractor, the farmer brothers will naturally make the right choice. ”

Ma Jintao walked over, stared at Li Lu, and said, "Xiao Li, I didn't expect you to really have some innovative thinking." Aren't you planning to build the first car of the Red Star Factory based on the 212 Jeep, come and tell us what you think. ”

Li Lu pointed to the outside of the workshop and said, "Ma Gong, why don't we go outside and talk to 212." ”

"Let's go." Ma Jintao walked out with his hands behind his back.

Pei Lei waved his hand and said, "You go first, and then I'll take a good look at this tractor." ”

Li Lu hurriedly followed out, gave Li Yaohua, who had been following, a look, and whispered, "After a while, the people of Guangming Factory have finished studying the tractor, and they will immediately pull it to the warehouse for safekeeping, and I want to leave this first tractor as a witness to the history of Hongxing Factory." ”

Li Yaohua nodded understandingly, and then turned back to follow Pei Lei and them.

Ma Jintao is not only an expert in materials research, but also has deep attainments in many fields. Almost all of the recipients of special government allowances are all-rounders, such as technical experts like Pei Lei.

Outside the workshop, there is an open-top 212 jeep parked in the security department of the Guangming Factory, and Ma Jintao is too familiar with this car. During these two or three decades of lack of cars, the 212 jeep became almost synonymous with the automobile.

What kind of car is a 212 Jeep?

To summarize simply, four wheels plus a steering wheel.

It doesn't get any simpler and more brutal car than this.

What Li Lu wants is not a simple imitation, but based on the 212, to create a small off-road car that retains the original durability, passability, and comfort, and is suitable for official use and even family use. Although the Hongxing Factory has not yet obtained the automobile production qualification, that is, the current agricultural machinery production qualification, which is run by the shareholder wind of the OEM contract of the Guangming Factory.

However, didn't Li Jili in another time and space also build his first car without production qualifications?

"Tell me, what do you think?" Ma Jintao stood on the side of 212 and said.

Li Lu sorted out his thoughts and said, "Based on 212, we will create a comfortable off-road vehicle with more space, which can be used both for official business and at home." The specific idea is this. The 212 is completely aimed at military use, the suspension is very stiff, and the seats are very stiff, which is very inappropriate as a civilian vehicle. Secondly, the 212's seating space is relatively restrictive, and the second-row seats are very unsuitable for riding. In addition, improvements are needed in terms of driving. All in all, the driver is comfortable, and the car is comfortable. ”

Ma Jintao smiled, "Xiao Li, according to what you say, it is equivalent to a redesign." The improvement projects you proposed may sound easy to implement, but in fact it is a major operation. Almost every province is copying 212 jeeps, but none of them have changed much. Why? Not that condition. ”

Slightly embarrassed with a smile, Li Lu took off his liberation shoes and knocked the sand inside, and said while putting them on, "Ma Gong, you know, I'm technically blind." I can probably only make recommendations based on the existing technical conditions, from the perspective of market demand and customer use. ”

Ma Jintao smiled and said, "I didn't expect you kid to be humble." ”

"Horseman, I haven't bragged all the time." Li Lu was embarrassed.

Ma Jintao pointed to the section of workshop 101 near the wharf and said, "Tell me what is in the section of the workshop near the wharf." It's so tightly sealed that even I can't get in. ”

Li Lu said, "I definitely didn't mean to avoid you. As you know, it's all imported cars and spare parts. Isn't this the priority of the order of the Guangming Factory, so it will be shelved first. Those cars are more important, and the less people have access to them, the better. ”

Ma Jintao stared at Li Lu's eyes and said, "If I hadn't seen the complete procedures, I would have suspected your kid of doing something illegal and undisciplined." ”

"You've wronged me." Li Lu pointed to the side of the wharf and said, "Look, the joint office of the customs and quarantine inspection departments is right there at the wharf. Don't forget that our Red Star Import & Export Company is fully qualified. ”

Waving his hand, Ma Jintao said, "Got it." In this way, I will study those imported cars first, and then I will give you an accurate answer when I have a clue. However, I still have to remind you that the car production qualification must be done as soon as possible, otherwise there is no point in building the car. ”

Li Lu nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely get the qualification down as soon as possible." ”

"Also." Ma Jintao muttered, "I'm not an expert in car research and development after all, it's okay to make a small fuss, if you really want to build a car, you still have to find some experts in this area." ”

The road ahead is still fraught with difficulties.
