Chapter 394: Equipment
Chen Hongqing was not surprised by Fang Lang's request, it was strong and durable, these were trivial, but it was indeed an unprecedented requirement for scratch and stab resistance.
made him scratch his head a little for a while, and said unconfidently:
"Boss, this is strong and durable, I can guarantee that, after all, the cotton we use now is long-staple cotton, and the woven fabric can be strong and durable.
It can be a little difficult to be scratch and puncture resistant! โ
Fang Lang is not surprised by this, it is obviously impossible for pure cotton to be scratch-proof and puncture-proof.
In later generations, it was not until Kevlar fiber was successfully researched by DuPont that it had the possibility of making stab-proof clothing, and now it is obviously a little difficult to make scratch-resistant and stab-proof fabrics.
Therefore, after hearing Chen Hongqing's words, Fang Lang could only shake his head with a smile and said:
"It's really difficult now, but with the advancement of science and technology, more and more chemical fibers will definitely appear. I believe that in the future, there will be this brand new material that can be scratch and puncture resistant.
Therefore, your textile mills should not keep an eye on cotton cloth because we are the production area of long-staple cotton, so that sooner or later it will be eliminated.
I suggest that you stabilize the base of cotton spinning, and then start to experiment with other textile materials slowly, and you can also study some other weaving methods.
It would be even better if someone could develop a completely new textile machine. After all, we now have our own mechanical processing factory, which can completely weave these textile machinery with low technical difficulty.
But textile alone may cause infringement, if we can have our own intellectual property rights, we have the opportunity to enter the textile machinery manufacturing industry, you know, this is a big cake! โ
Chen Hongqing is an old textile who has been in the textile industry for half his life, and he can understand what Fang Lang said.
It's just that he didn't have such a big heart and didn't dare to think about such a big time, but now with Fang Lang's support, he feels that these can't be realized, and the big deal is to throw a lot of money into it.
If successful, their Daqing yarn mill can enter a completely new field, which is what he dreams of.
So, without hesitation, I said:
"Okay, boss, don't worry! Now that you have instructions, we will follow your train of thought, go on unswervingly, and must find a way to realize your plan. โ
For Chen Hongqing's statement, Fang Lang is very satisfied, he can be regarded as revealing the future direction to the other party, as long as the other party can have this sense of pioneering and innovative, it is not difficult to become a giant in the textile industry in the future.
Smiled and nodded at him.
Then, he looked at Vivien on the other side and said:
"Vivian, now the fabrics produced by our textile mills are sold in Europe and the United States.
In the future, I plan to support a number of privately owned garment factories in Natal. As a first step, I want to put your Vivian clothing manufacturing facility in Natal.
As for where to place the design office and the company's headquarters, it's up to you, whether it's Paris, France, Milan, Italy, or Sรฃo Paulo, Brazil, I don't have a problem.
What do you think? โ
Vivian had heard from Fang Lang that the textile industry he had established in Natal, Brazil, was for him.
Coming to Daqing Textile Factory today, she was very happy to see such a large scale of production, and now she heard that Fang Lang asked him to put the garment manufacturing factory in Natal, of course he had no opinion.
In this way, not only can you often come to Natal to accompany Fang Lang, but you can also get the lowest cost of raw materials and have cheap labor.
There was no objection at all to her.
On the contrary, Fang Lang fulfilled his promise, which made her very happy, he unceremoniously grabbed Shang Lang's arm, kissed Fang Lang fiercely on the face, and said:
"Of course, dear.
You're so good that I haven't graduated yet! Wouldn't it be too early to build a garment factory? โ
Fang Lang shook his head with a smile and said:
"Don't worry! Not early, we can build a garment factory and receive some OEM orders from Europe and the United States to do it.
It can not only maintain the operation of the factory, but also train the skills of the workers.
After your own clothing brand is established, we can directly start producing qualified products for you. โ
When Vivian heard her man's arrangement, where did she have any opinions, she smiled happily and gave Fang Lang a fierce kiss.
Chen Hongqing, who was on the side, hurriedly turned his head away, and kept muttering, "Don't look at indecent things!" Don't look at indecent acts! โ
Seeing that his woman directly expressed her feelings with practical actions, Fang Lang laughed and looked at Chen Hongqing, who was flushed and a little embarrassed.
Fang Lang patted Vivian's back and motioned for the other party to pay attention to the impact.
Vivien twisted her waist twice in dissatisfaction before reluctantly sitting down.
After Vivian was done, Fang Lang looked at Chen Hongqing again and said:
"Lao Chen, do you know anything about shoemaking?"
Chen Hongqing, who was looking out the window to avoid embarrassment, heard the boss's question, turned his head slowly, and saw that the boss had separated from the boss, so he let out a long breath.
But an old face was still flushed, and he asked in an uncertain tone with some embarrassment:
"What kind of shoes do you mean by shoemaking?
If it is our traditional mille-feuille bottom, many of our Chinese women can make it, but if it is to make leather shoes, only a few people can make it. โ
When Fang Lang heard this, he frowned, it is definitely not possible to make a mille-feuille bottom, although this kind of cloth shoes are very comfortable to wear, but they are obviously not suitable for a climate like Brazil.
Especially in the rainy season in Brazil, this kind of shoes must not dare to wear them out of the house, otherwise they will be soaked in water for a long time and will soon break down.
In addition, the processing technology of cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles is almost all handmade with a needle and a thread, which is obviously not suitable for the jungle combat boots that Fang Lang wants to make.
The current leather shoe processing technology may have a certain reference value, after all, leather shoes need to use glue and mechanical stitching.
However, Fang Lang quickly reacted, what he wanted to make was actually a new kind of footwear, which could be made in the form of glue injection, so he might as well organize manpower to study a complete set of production processes, and then manufacture a batch of professional equipment from the mechanical processing factory.
Thinking of this, Fang Lang said directly to Chen Hongqing:
"Lao Chen, you help me find a few masters with experience in leather shoe manufacturing, and we will study and design a new shoe-making process.
I want to make a kind of military boots, and when the process is determined, I will arrange for a machine factory to produce special shoe-making machinery for us.
When the time comes, it will be directly automated manufacturing. โ
Although Chen Hongqing didn't understand what Fang Lang was talking about military boots, he still quickly got up and said:
"Yes, boss, I'll get someone right now."
When Chen Hongqing went to find someone, Fang Lang was not idle, and drew the combat boots in his mind on the drawings. It's a pity that painting a camouflage suit, like graffiti, is very simple.
But the shoes are obviously not so easy to draw, and after finally drawing a general appearance, Vivien on the side can't stand it.
Directly snatched the pen from Fang Lang's hand:
"The shoes you drew are so ugly, let's do it!"
Fang Lang looked at the finished product he had drawn, and did not feel that it was too ugly, knowing that he had drawn the design of the ship with a professional draftsman.
I didn't expect to be disgusted by Vivian now.
However, his wife is willing to help him draw pictures, and it is too late for him to be happy about this kind of red-sleeved fragrance!
How could you refuse?
So, he didn't hesitate to let it go. Just standing behind Vivien, she kept pointing.
After drawing the shape of the whole shoe, he asked her to start drawing the details of the shoe, for example, the position of the shoelaces, he designed a copper quick buckle, and he needed to draw a special detail picture to represent it.
After looking for a long time, I found that there was no V-shaped opening in front of the ankle to protect the surface of the foot from contusion.
The details of the drainage holes are marked one by one.
Then I repeatedly compared it with the combat boots I remembered I was wearing, and found that the position of the ankle was not strengthened, and the protection of the ankle may not be enough.
He picked up the pen and made some corrections to the picture Vivien had drawn. Finally, I was able to see the effect I wanted from Vivian's drawings.
Fang Lang instructed Vivian to draw an exploded view of the shoe, marking the steel plate on the sole and the steel plate on the toe cap respectively.
In the end, I took a blank drawing and designed my impression of the Panama sole style separately.
By the time I finished drawing, it was already dark.
Fang Lang, who originally thought it wouldn't take long, had to leave Vivian behind and work overtime with him.
Surprisingly, although Vivian didn't like the camouflage pattern designed by Fang Lang, she liked the jungle boots designed by Fang Lang very much.
She even kept saying that these boots gave her countless design inspirations.
When the two were still drawing, the technician who knew how to make shoes had already been brought in by Chen Hongqing, and everyone didn't expect that this boot would be so complicated, especially the need to insert a steel plate into the sole.
All the workers were very incomprehensible.
After Fang Lang explained, everyone was relieved, but at the same time, they were also surprised by the protective ability of this kind of shoes.
Everyone carefully studied the drawings, and Fang Lang finally made his requirements clear.
The shoemakers began to discuss the manufacturing process again, dividing the manufacturing of combat boots into many processes, which step to do first, which step to do later, to what extent, and how to ensure quality.
The manufacturing process of shoes alone was discussed for nearly two days, and everyone knew that this was not the shoes worn by ordinary people on walking, but the military boots used by soldiers for combat, so the requirements for quality were all excellence.
In the manufacturing process, everyone also expressed their opinions, and finally, the entire shoe manufacturing process was divided into more than 50 steps.
There are also clear requirements for what kind of effect needs to be achieved at each step.
After these processes were confirmed, Fang Lang sent them to the machinery manufacturing factory, and asked the mechanical engineers in the factory to discuss what kind of machinery needed to be manufactured to achieve the results they wanted.
It wasn't until two months later that Fang Lang saw the military boots he designed.
Because, the production process of camouflage cloth has not yet been completed, this is a pure black canvas material combat boots.
After testing his feet, Fang Lang found some minor problems and returned them for modification.
Finally, three months later, he handed over an answer sheet that satisfied Fang Lang.
In the process of trial production, the boot factory has already begun to build synchronously, with the right of the machinery manufacturing factory, the factory machinery is given priority to supply, so the construction efficiency of the factory is very high.
This is also a special combat boot production line with independent intellectual property rights.
Of course, Fang Lang would not be involved in these things the whole time, and after confirming his request with the shoemakers, he took Vivien home.
As for weapons such as silencers and crossbows, blowguns, etc., he also made a phone call and it was over.
While Fang Lang was researching these jungle warfare equipment, the Eddie Brothers rebels, who were far away in Manguari, were also in trouble.
"Brother, why don't these border guards move!"
Raymond Eddie asked Brisol Eddie on the side with some anxiety.
"It's okay, there's no need to rush. It seems that this commander of the regiment, Miloลก Chuatoko, who led the troops, was not an idiot.
However, I would like to see how long he can delay, and I don't believe that his superiors will allow him to continue to procrastinate. โ
Brisso Eddy also had a map of the northwest Amazon on the table in front of him, and his eyes were now scanning back and forth between the town of Bittenkot and Manguari.
Raymond Eddy was relieved to see his brother's confident appearance, and said with a smile:
"In that case, let's take a good rest in the mangua and recruit some more people by the way. With the equipment captured from them, we can recruit more than 200 people.
Ha ha...... Brother, this trick of yours is really amazing. It's just that we came out in too haste, and the shipment in Bittenkot town didn't have time to be transferred, which is a pity. โ
Hearing his brother's words, the corners of Brissot Eddie's mouth turned up slightly, and he said quietly:
"There's no pity, those things were originally deliberately left for them, I just want to see if they will be tempted by such a large fortune, and if anything interesting will happen."
Hearing this, Raymond Eddie was also stunned, and said with some distress:
"Brother, that's a lot of money! If we sell it, we can buy a lot of equipment, and we can also recruit more people. โ
Smiled and patted Raymond Eddie's shoulder, Briso Eddie said in a relaxed tone:
"Don't worry! They are regular soldiers, unless they burn this shipment directly, otherwise, as long as they transport it back, they are just helping us, and we will pick up the goods at the destination when the time comes. Hey hey ....."
"Ahh
Raymond Eddie was a little stunned by his brother's words, but he quickly reacted, if the border guards did not destroy it directly, they would definitely hand it over as trophies or swallow it privately.
Either way, they're sure to get the cargo out of the jungle, which is much less risky than shipping it themselves.
As for where they will be transported later, it does not matter. As long as they know the destination of the goods, they are sure that they will be transferred out of their hands.
Unfazed by his brother's surprise, Brissot Eddie continued:
"It's okay to recruit people in Mangua, but you also need to leave some spare equipment. We'll need it when we get back to Bittenkot and recruit local people. โ
