Chu Ze frowned and was silent for a few seconds.

There was a problem with this high-pressure steam boiler test, and it was clear that there was a design omission.

"Guys, it seems that we didn't fully consider the stress of the material when we first designed the boiler." Chu Ze slowly spoke: "We blindly pursued a higher vapor pressure, but we did not calculate whether the material could withstand such pressure. This led to the accident. ”

The old craftsman next to him nodded respectfully in agreement.

Indeed, in the design of the boiler they ignored the key point of the strength limitation of the material.

"So it's not your responsibility, it's a mistake in the design phase." Chu Ze patted the old craftsman on the shoulder and said, "We must recalculate and select a more suitable boiler material to ensure that it can withstand enough steam pressure. ”

The old craftsman breathed a sigh of relief, and the other craftsmen also let go of their hearts.

It turned out that the problem was in the design, not in their production error.

"The prince is very right!" One of the craftsmen said, "We were really impatient at the time, and we didn't consider the limitations of the materials, and this time we learned a profound lesson. We will definitely redesign the boiler and choose the best material scheme, please rest assured! ”

Other craftsmen also said that the accident made them realize that they should not blindly pursue it, but firmly grasp the scientific nature of the project.

They will surely learn from their mistakes and redesign them with the most scientific and rigorous attitude.

Chu Ze saw that the craftsmen were not discouraged by this small setback, but instead learned a lesson from it and increased their vigilance, and his heart was greatly relaxed.

This is exactly the attitude of a good craftsman.

"Very good, I am very pleased with your craftsmanship and indomitable will." Chu Ze smiled slightly: "We will definitely be able to draw strength from this setback and design a more perfect and safe high-pressure steam boiler!" ”

A month later, after repeated deliberations and experiments, Chu Ze and the craftsmen finally found the best boiler material scheme that could withstand extremely high temperatures and pressures.

The newly designed boiler has also been optimized several times.

On this day, the new high-pressure boiler undergoes a steam pressurization test.

The craftsmen nervously monitored the boiler data throughout the process.

The test was carried out to its maximum operating pressure, and the boiler ran smoothly without any failures.

"Great, successful!" The craftsmen cheered and burst into tears.

Through this glitch, they learned valuable lessons and became more aware of how to design a safe and reliable boiler.

"God forbid! Thanks to the wise guidance of the prince, we finally succeeded in trial-producing this top-level high-pressure steam boiler! An old craftsman said excitedly.

"Yes, the safety and stability of this boiler is absolutely second to none. It will help the locomotive to great success! The other craftsmen were also filled with joy and pride.

Chu Ze couldn't help but smile when he looked at the joyful and proud expressions on the faces of the craftsmen.

It was his honor to meet such a skilled craftsman with ingenuity and perseverance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am also very pleased to have successfully solved this problem!" Chu Ze walked over and said to everyone: "Let's continue to work hard and build a great locomotive step by step!" ”

"Yes! We will live up to the ardent expectations of the prince! The craftsmen applauded, and their morale suddenly reached a new peak.

After the boiler problem was solved, they moved on to the production of the transmission system.

However, when testing the meshing of the two main gears, it was found that the power transfer efficiency was extremely low, and the gap between the two gears was too large to achieve precise meshing.

Lord, it's rude, I found that the meshing between the two main gears of this large main drive gear set is not ideal.

The gap between the two is too large, resulting in a large loss of efficiency when power is transmitted.

The young craftsman said cautiously.

Chu Ze looked at the two gears that were obviously too large and groaned.

Indeed, this problem of meshing accuracy will directly affect the transmission efficiency of the whole machine.

It seems that there are still some problems in the craftsmen when making these large precision gears, which need to be further improved.

"You have a point." Chu Ze said slowly: "This is indeed caused by insufficient production accuracy. We should rethink the current production process and see where there are shortcomings. ”

The young craftsman listened respectfully, and his heart was excited.

The prince is well-informed, and everything he has pointed out is an eye-opener.

This time, the prince specially inspected the production of machinery everywhere and will be able to give more valuable advice.

Chu Ze continued, "I noticed that you are currently in charge of making the entire gear by a craftsman. But everyone has what they are good at and what they are not good at, and it is not easy to make large gears with high precision. I suggest that you try to let each craftsman concentrate on a certain part or process of making a gear, so that the quality can be guaranteed. ”

"Then, we're going to introduce some more advanced measurement tools, like the micrometer that I told you about earlier, to check the precision of each component. Only by measuring accurately can we know what problems exist and make targeted improvements. ”

After hearing this, the young craftsman suddenly realized, and nodded again and again: "What the prince said is extremely true! We really need to improve the process so that each craftsman can focus on what he does best. Advanced measuring tools are introduced to ensure that each component achieves a very high degree of precision, so that the large gear sets produced can be meshed accurately. ”

The other craftsmen listened attentively and were inspired.

Indeed, in order to make such a complex and sophisticated large-scale machine, it is difficult to ensure the quality by relying on the handwork of a single craftsman.

It is necessary to implement a professional division of labor and use precision measuring instruments to repeatedly inspect as the prince said, so as to gradually improve the accuracy of production.

"The king's guidance is incisive! We must re-plan the production process, strive for excellence in every part, and never disappoint the prince's entrustment! The young craftsman said excitedly.

Other craftsmen have also said that they will do their best to make every part flawless.

Chu Ze was also very pleased to see that the craftsmen were so attentive and positive about the new method.

He believed that with their efforts, the production of various mechanical devices would be brought to a new level.

After the implementation of the improvement plan, the craftsmen were extremely attentive to the parts they were responsible for.

Experienced veterans patiently guide newcomers, and newcomers practice repeatedly.

Everyone worked together to focus on improving the accuracy of their production.

Under the guidance of the prince, we will definitely be able to make one of the best mechanical devices in China! (End of chapter)
