Forty-ninety-seven apprentices

Continue to ask for subscriptions, begging, and favorites for recommendations......

In addition, I just found out that the Oscar's "Song Shigui" was out of the palace, and it was a big scene as soon as it appeared, and I always wanted to write his kind of strong emotional drama, but unfortunately I couldn't do it.

Within a few days, the Technic received at least twenty applications for a steam engine. In addition to places where it is estimated that mechanical power is needed, such as mines and shipyards, even textile mills have submitted applications to conduct research on the use of mechanical power to drive spinning machines.

The advent of the steam engine will certainly make a great leap forward in all aspects of the ability of the traversal, but it will take a lot of hard work and a long time to turn this bright prospect into reality.

The output of the machine is a problem, and the test product can be configured according to the optimal performance, but when it comes to mass production, there are many problems other than the performance of the machine itself. Such as the economy of the cylinder block material, the durability of the sealing material, and the weight of the machine...... It is necessary to make trade-offs to find the best balance between performance and economy.

Among them, weight is a particularly critical constraint, with the current situation that the crossing can only rely on animal power, and many places even rely on human transportation, if this thing is too heavy, it will be a big trouble for its promotion. The weight of Xiao Lang's machine, compared to the power it can output, seems to be a bit too large - in order to ensure safety, it is made bulky in many places, and the result is that the total weight has increased sharply, reaching more than five tons. However, the advantage is that the main accessories such as the boiler and the cylinder are separated, which can be dispersed and transported, and then installed uniformly when they arrive at the ground.

"But we still need to build a special flatbed multi-wheeled vehicle to transport it, otherwise this thing will destroy the road as soon as it is pulled out!"

The comrades of the road and bridge group calculated the bearing capacity of their roads and bridges and came to the conclusion that the equipment could be transported after dispersion, but the pressure had to be distributed with a large number of rubber tires. Moreover, if the sea is to be transported, the structural strength of the wooden trestle at all the current wharves is not up to the requirements, and it is necessary to build a dedicated large wharf or reinforce the current trestle.

Huang Jiancheng of the Iron and Steel Group was a little disappointed that the transportation conditions could not be met - he had planned to transport the first few steam engines to Changhua, where the efficiency could be increased by dozens of times once this thing was used in the mines. Xiao Lang also hopes to meet the needs of the steel group first, because he needs Lao Huang to provide him with more high-quality steel to make boilers and cylinders......

However, in the short term, it is not too much of a problem that the machine cannot be transported, because they also need to design and manufacture supporting machinery - the emergence of the steam engine only solves the power problem, and in order to make it work, it is necessary to design and manufacture the corresponding end system according to the needs of users.

For example, if a steam engine is used to drain water in the pit, a set of impellers should be set on the end of the crankshaft connecting rod to form a vortex pumping system; If you want to use it to crush ore, you need to put a large iron block on it, and a rail lifting device...... The principles and manufacturing methods of these things are not complicated, and any mechanical graduate can draw the drawings according to his needs, and then the production department will make them according to the sample. But in the past, because there was no motivation, no matter how much drawings were drawn, it was only on paper. At most, it is only a conceptual design, and the specific engineering drawings will definitely not be in a hurry.

Now, with the solution of the power problem, all kinds of practical needs have emerged all at once, and the few designers in the mechanical design team have suddenly become too busy......

For several days in a row, the small office building of the industrial group at the main base of Baiyantan was brightly lit day and night. At a time when many ordinary sectors are being cut off, the most abundant supply of electricity and light bulbs can be guaranteed. On the slightly inclined drawing tables in the design room, dizzy designers put down their ink pens from time to time, raised their heads and rubbed their sour eyes, twisted their swollen and aching backs, and complained:

"Grandma's, this is simply the scene when I was doing my graduation project!"

"I haven't opened for three years, and it's been three years since I opened...... With so many tasks pressed down at once, who can stand it. ”

In addition to complaints, there are also attempts to lighten the burden:

"Didn't you say that the civil engineering team and the shipyard's designers should be seconded to help? Why did Boss Lin come over alone? ”

"The rest of the civil construction team is counting on ......"

The occupation is between mechanical and engineering, and he used to be mainly engaged in specific construction, but at this time he also had to catch ducks on the shelves, and Lin Hanlong, who regained his skills in drawing classes in college, raised his head:

"Pang Yu, Chen Jun, and Fu Yu all went to Shandong, and the civil engineering team itself has no serious designers. Even if Ying Rongwei can rush back in time, he will definitely have to deal with the reinforcement of the wharf and bridge first, and also consider the general diagram of the boiler room and the foundation of the equipment...... I can't pull out in the short term. ”

"As for the shipyard, not to mention, in order to ensure that our transport ship can fit these big things without capsizing halfway, Wang Ruobin needs to recalculate the hull bearing capacity, center of gravity, structural strength, and waterline position...... It's equivalent to designing a new ship type, and their workload is no less than ours. ”

Li Jingcheng, another member of the chemistry group who came to help, raised his head, also with a tired face, and shook his head helplessly:

"Forget it, even if they can come, each other's traditional drawing habits are different, and it will take time to get used to it. It would be more convenient to train a few natives to be draftsmen. In the future, the workload of design and drawing of this kind of machinery will inevitably increase greatly, and we will definitely not be able to withstand it by ourselves. ”

"Using a local as a draftsman? Is the level of education enough, according to Xiao Guo, the current level of culture and education in schools can only be regarded as primary school graduation at best. ”

Some people expressed skepticism, but Lin Hanlong was quite optimistic:

"This is not a big problem, as long as the draftsman can draw our design sketches into formal drawings according to the gourd drawing scoop, it is mainly time-consuming, and the requirements for knowledge are not extensive. Understand the basic concepts of drawing, and be able to write engineering fonts well. We still have a lot of local draftsmen in our civil engineering department. As long as you do a good job of checking and auditing, the locals can do a good job - and after a long time, they will probably learn something, and they can gradually cultivate it. ”

"However, civil engineering does not have high requirements for confidentiality, and many design drawings of our mechanical department cannot be disclosed to the public, such as the design drawings of various firearms......"

"Then it depends on how your secrecy rules are set up, and can the design of firearms and ordinary machinery be completely separated. And then again – sooner or later our knowledge will have to be passed on to local apprentices. If you have been worried that the apprentice you have taken in will defect in the future, you can only bring the technology to the coffin. ”

The design room fell silent for a while, and everyone looked at Xiao Lang, the head of the mechanical group, because of Xiao Lang's relationship, the xenophobia of the mechanical group was relatively strict among various departments, although at the plenary meeting that ended not long ago, it was finally decided to vigorously recruit local students, and then encourage individuals to recruit apprentices to inherit their knowledge and career, and other units have also begun to try this aspect one after another, but here in the mechanical group, this opening has not been opened.

But this time, looking at the few drawings that had only been drawn after a long night of struggle on the table, and at the large number of various design sketches sitting next to it—for those of them, it was not difficult to make a design, but the trouble was to express it meticulously on the drawing. Because it was completely dead work, there was no technical content, it was just a stroke by stroke, slowly outlined with a ruler. Letting modern people do this work is indeed a waste of talent.

Nodding helplessly, Xiao Lang was relieved:

"After finishing this batch of work first, let's go back to Guo Yi's school and see if we can find suitable seedlings...... Bring a maximum of one per person, pay more attention to their state of mind, and report any signs of something wrong! ”

…………

A few days later, Guo Yi's training school welcomed another group of apprentices – something that had happened so often since the committee passed the decision to accept the apprentices, and he knew exactly what to do.

According to the requirements of the mechanical group, Guo Yi brought a group of students who were not picked up by others to the playground and stood in a row, waiting for the future "masters" to choose.

"Why are they all little turnip heads, and there are no older ones?"

Xiao Lang looked at the roster one by one, but found that most of the primary apprentices available for them to choose were between twelve and fifteen years old, and he frowned very dissatisfied-they wanted to be able to help with the work when they accepted the apprentices, so they naturally hoped that they would be older.

Guo Yi sighed with both hands:

"Parents who are willing to send them to school are generally at this age, and they are afraid that they have eaten too much when they are growing up, so they are sent to schools with room and board, and most of them will be called back to work. Even if there are a few sixteen or seventeen, they have already been picked up by others - the two apprentices led by Master Huang of the steel group are both seventeen years old, because his students need to do physical work. You guys are still drawing indoors, and it doesn't matter if you're young, it's just the right time to cultivate loyalty. ”

So Xiao Lang didn't say anything, and patrolled in front of the crowd with his hands behind his back, and the little radish heads all tried to puff up their chests one by one, hoping to be selected by the master - being selected by the master would not prevent them from continuing to learn the basics here, but in the future, the main energy would be used to learn additional professional skills from the master's side. Moreover, according to the personality of each person, to a greater or lesser extent, he can get some "pocket money" from the master - and with the generosity of modern people, and the generous fortune they have at hand, a small amount of money is enough to make these children and the whole family behind them very comfortable...... Therefore, the children's motivation is very high. RO！ ~！
