Because the equipment renewal of the brick factory has created a miracle, you can burn bricks without coal, what is going on? It turned out that 20 percent of the batching machine was mixed with ash and stirred evenly as a result of internal combustion, and the kiln workers not only did not need to fill coal to burn bricks, but also had to control the induced air gates of each kiln room, otherwise the red bricks would be scorched and the cylinders would be wasted. The miracle shook dozens of brick factories in the provinces and cities, and the visiting teams often came to the railway brick factory to study, and the brick factory in Harbin also came to visit and study. Their first feeling is that there is no coal in the brick factory, the orderly red bricks, the billets in the shed are so neat and tidy, and it is difficult to find a grass dam in the factory area.

In fact, every piece of equipment in the brick factory has a story, and it depends on the mechanical design instinct of the maintenance fitter. It is said that the batching machine is manufactured a lot in the country, not only the belt material is caused by many failures, but the tractor track is connected with a long and 30 cm wide iron plate, and there are three groove rollers below to support, forming a large bearing of 52 meters long for the whole machine. Why is there a large eccentric bearing with a diameter of 50 centimeters on the mace side? There is a large butter cup with manual lubrication on the jacket, because the 60-centimeter-long drive shaft is welded on the side of the jacket, and the shaft end is heated and flattened to drive the helical gear of the 42 teeth. If the eccentric bearing rotates once, and the drive shaft outside the sleeve only knocks one gear tooth, it can be seen that the 90-turn mace, under the speed change of the 42-tooth wheel, drives the six-star wheel of the track iron plate only more than two revolutions per minute, which plays a deceleration role.

The batching machine appears to be an eight-meter-long suspended giant tank, while its main box is only 80 centimeters wide. Although the purpose of setting up two gates is to control the ratio of soil, sand and ash, due to the moderate sand content of the soil in the brick factory, it is enough to use only one gate to control the ash at 20%. Eight maces rotate 90 revolutions per minute, and the scattered 80 cm blades cut, sharpen, and mix one and a half of soil, sand, and ash materials, and then use a conveyor belt to transfer the material to two mixers, which is 120 mixing blades, and the reasonable precision of the machinery makes the ash evenly distributed in the adobe, which is the root of millions of red bricks that are not burned with coal.

The internal combustion brick is one pound and two taels lighter than the white brick "adobe brick", and has been tested by the municipal construction instrument to greatly exceed the standard in compression and strength, and is the top raw material product of the building. Why is it said that the foundation of a four-story building can build a six-story building? First, the quality of internal combustion bricks is excellent, and second, each brick should be lighter than one pound and two taels, and internal combustion bricks not only save the cost of energy and coal, but also save the land occupied by the huge building. The party committee of the real estate section notified that all the bricks in the brick factory were used in the construction sites of the four railway bureaus, and the rest could be sold out.

Qiqihar TV reported the deeds, and the reporter of the brick factory took six work photos of Dapeng, and deliberately hung the photos in the advanced deeds column of the city office. The leaders of the railway real estate section organized a meeting to promote the title of Dapeng from technician to mechanical engineer, and the monthly salary was raised to 150 yuan, which was almost four times the monthly salary of ordinary workers in the brick factory, and the monthly salary of the factory director at that time was less than 60 yuan.

Some brick factories come to buy equipment, because the transformer is a small horse-drawn cart, and the brick machine cannot be sold if it cannot be updated. And if you want to buy bricks in a brick factory, you not only have to queue up, but you even have to wait for a week or half a month to supply. That's because the internal combustion bricks mixed with ash have exceeded the strength of any brick factory after being suppressed by the measurement standard of the instrument, isn't this the result of mechanical renewal technology? Some brick factories hired Dapeng as a technical guide, giving a salary of 360 yuan a month, almost reaching the monthly salary of the prime minister of the country, and also providing free coal for domestic use throughout the year.

In 1983, the brick factory went to all the investment, taxes and profits of 320,000 yuan. Not only invested more than 30,000 yuan to buy a Dongfeng brand car, but also prepared to buy buses to ensure the safety of workers commuting to and from work. Some workers have become advanced workers, and some young people have written letters to join the party. And Dapeng didn't turn positive, everything was a luxury.

On April 27, 1984, a heavy snowstorm occurred in Qiqihar, more than 100 electric poles fell, the heavy snow closed the road, not only the train could not enter the station, the brick factory was blown down by the wind, and the 14 sheds were completely cut off from the urban area. Dapeng's house is close to the brick factory, he organized migrant workers to clear the snow and rebuild the shed, especially at night he checked the work of the brick factory, and found that there was a problem with the garage of the boiler, the heating pipe was frozen, the bulldozer did not release water, and the fire roast would inevitably blow up the cylinder, and he used the electric stove and other methods to freeze and crack a cylinder.

Three days later, the workers came to the brick factory with a bulldozer, and they saw that the brick factory was cleaned, the machines were saved, and the shed was rebuilt, and the secretary and factory director asked Dapeng to write a blackboard newspaper and nominate "The brick factory is my home"

Due to the fact that the brick factories in the city and province came to visit and still offered to hire them with high salaries, Dapeng politely refused to return to the city for the sake of the educated youth's transfer to return to the city to get the implementation of the household registration. However, the secretary and the factory director promised to go to other brick factories to do temporary guidance, which planted a dangerous bomb for Dapeng's future.

Wu Xin, director of the Fortun Brick Factory, has entered a new machine, and he has come to ask Dapeng to take a look for the fourth time, even if it is a Sunday holiday. Unexpectedly, it was a 240 brick machine, the diameter of the main engine mud cylinder is not as large as the brick, and there are product quality and output problems in production. Dapeng can't help, he can only say to the mechanic, remove the mud cylinder liner to increase the diameter of the reamer, the closer the cutter head is to the molding, the production can be increased, and the cutter head is far away from the molding mouth to enhance the product quality, because this is the most backward machine, how to operate is up to you.

In 1984, the brick factory made a profit of 500,000 yuan, the railway bureau ranked first, and the province's brick factory ranked fourth for a reason. Despite this, workers have raised their wages and are paid more than railway workers. Increase the monthly and quarterly bonuses per person, what rice, soybean oil, peanuts, sugar, etc. are rewarded per capita average, material clothes, leather boots, leather shoes, scarves, leather hats, leather gloves, etc., especially the whole factory employees commute on the bus.

In the early stage of economic reform and opening up, they were all crossing the river by feeling the stones, especially the development of the brick factories in the direction of contracting. The invitation of the Harbin brick factory was denied, and Wu Xin came to the brick factory again to ask Dapeng, saying that the three factory directors had asked them to refer to the equipment transformation, and had already contracted the brick factory of the 39th Division of the Aviation School, and asked for a reference to the status of the machine. Although they have already signed a contract, the stakes are very high, and the leader has something to say and can't shirk what to do?

On Sunday, under the leadership of Wu Xin and five others, Dapeng went to the new brick factory of the Aviation School, and this was not the 39th Division Tunnel Kiln Brick Factory? Four years ago, it was the rationalization reform advice put forward by himself, and it has also been adopted and started, but why is the tunnel kiln gone? Now the location of the brick factory is not the original place, most of the equipment is new, but there are unreasonable supporting facilities, the brick factory has more than 100,000 rotten billets in the open air, and the soil sand content within 100 meters of the brick machine accounts for 80 percent, which cannot be used to make bricks, and there are more serious problems.

They took Dapeng to the aviation school, walked into a house in the unit and battalion cadre courtyard, and said that it was the home of Hu Lai, the head of the ordnance unit, and that his family had gone back to Zhejiang to visit relatives and let his fellow countryman Chen Jian take care of his home. Chen Jian is the director of the brick factory in Xidian, because he signed a five-year contract with Hu Lai, the head of the Ordnance Unit, and the head of the Finance Unit, Wang Guocai, who are fellow villagers. Wu Xin and others asked Dapeng to write down the existing problems, and if he wanted to write a "problem reference," he would also set foot on the big thief ship? This led to a major economic case that shook the whole army and the whole country.
