Chapter 82: Take-it-or-leave-it (Gambit)
"Team Leader Luo, this is the style and construction drawings of the cars we are currently producing in the first automobile factory. The task this time was to see if there was any room for improvement in terms of performance. However, our group has just been established, so we will discuss it slowly, and we also know that this is a difficult task, and performance improvement is not an overnight thing. So Team Leader Luo, what do you think we should start with first? β
Finally, there are drawings to read, and talking on paper is what Luo Cheng is best at. Without immediately replying to Deputy Team Leader Jiang's words, Luo Cheng first picked up a copy of the information on the liberation truck and checked it.
There is no need to inspect a car to see the data and style of each component, it is so convenient to have drawings.
Which model of car corresponds to the engine style, bearings, chassis, configuration, power and so on of this era.
Every configuration data must be up to standard in Luo Cheng's eyes, but he also knows that this car structure is designed like this, and it must be the best configuration in the current era. For example, Luo Cheng dislikes that the engine horsepower is not large, and changing to a high-horsepower engine can improve the power and starting speed. But such a simple idea, which turn for him to think.
It is only possible to improve the performance of existing equipment, such as an engine that is not powerful enough, but cannot produce a more powerful engine. Some people have asked whether it is possible to get two engines, but now it is still in the imagination, and the drawings and designs cannot be made. Not to mention practice.
And this twin engine did exist in later generations, referred to as twin engines, which were directly divided into a combination of electric engines and gasoline engines. But now there are no electric cars, and if you have dual gasoline engines, there is no need to synchronize or something. Because of the simple twin engines, it is necessary to temporarily use the position of two engines, and to simply use the horsepower, without caring about the size of the position, it is enough to simply use a larger engine.
Therefore, many theories and assumptions are likely to waste months or even years, only to find out in the end that the concept may not make sense, so you have to give up.
Luo Cheng looked at the structure and data of several cars slowly, and the other team members did not bother Luo Cheng, and also wanted to see if this twenty-one-year-old seventh-level engineer was capable of putting forward his own opinions.
"This~~, it seems that the content of my work is a little simple, do I want to pretend to be incompetent, find a project that cannot be temporarily realized to explore, and then easily mix the salary every month, or really solve some problems."
I looked at the information of trucks, trucks, jeeps and cars. Luo Cheng already had some numbers in his heart, put down the information, and simply put it away. Luo Cheng looked at everyone sitting there, he originally wanted to flicker around and explore the power system or something, this kind of thing is the most time-consuming, and it is actually difficult to improve the kinetic energy without new power equipment. But after looking at the sincere expressions of several team members, Luo Cheng suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart.
Except for Luo Cheng, who is a native of Ngee An, everyone else came from Tianhu. The youngest are all in their thirties, and they basically have wives and children, and even their parents are also built here.
If they really lead them to an extremely difficult direction, and even Luo Cheng himself is not able to help with the exploration project, then they will have to leave their hometown for a long time, leave their families, and at most go back for the New Year or occasionally ask for leave.
"Well, let me start with a problem, today I drove the car you drove from Tianhu and found a lot of problems. I would like to ask you if you find the steering wheel of a car very laborious. β
The steering wheel is laborious, Luo Cheng's question confused the people present. Because they don't think it's laborious, all cars are like this, and that's a problem. To drive a car and play the steering wheel, it takes a little effort to drive the wheels underneath to rotate. If it's all laborious, they don't know what it means to be effortless.
Looking at the expressions of several people, Luo Cheng knew that he had sold the pass in vain, and he didn't even feel that it was difficult to play the steering wheel. simply zoomed in directly, and there happened to be a pen on his body, so he asked for a blank piece of paper.
"I'll start with a simple drawing of the steering lever, and we all know how the steering wheel turns the front wheels. This is the steering wheel, and when we turn the steering wheel, we turn the connected gears to drive the rack, and then turn the wheels through the transverse tie rod. I guess there's nothing wrong with that. β
This principle, all of you here are engineers in car design, and they can also drive, so they naturally understand this truth, and this time they all nodded with cooperation. But it's very basic stuff, and to talk about this for where they don't understand.
"Well, I found that the current car, whether it is a truck or a small car, is based on this principle, and this will lead to a situation, large cars, large structure, large gears, so the bigger the car, the more effort it will take to hit the direction~~."
"Team Leader Luo~~."
"Li Gong, don't interject, let Team Leader Luo finish."
"Got it, Team Leader Jiang."
It was Li Yiwen who interjected, he originally wanted to say that this car was like this, just like if you take five catties of something, you will have to exert five catties of strength, and you will naturally have to exert more strength to take ten catties of things.
"What I want to say is very simple, if it weren't for the gears and racks, we wouldn't be able to turn the car through the steering wheel at all, but since the racks and pinions are under the action, we can turn the wheels with a small amount of force. I would say that there is a way to add a device that makes the steering wheel turn more easily. β
Add a device to make the steering wheel turn more easily, speaking of which, Luo Cheng basically said a direction of exploration, all you have to do is to see the feasibility of this direction.
"In fact, this is not an exploration, there are already such devices abroad, but it has not been many years, and the cars they export may not have added this device, because with the addition, the previous cars will not be easy to sell. So I was thinking that since they don't add, we'll make it ourselves. β
Luo Cheng's words were like a bomb, which was detonated directly in front of everyone. What he said was not just an idea, but already abroad. However, they are also people who are often exposed to imported products, and such a possibility does exist, even very likely.
As for how Luo Cheng knows about foreign news, it is not surprising to think that he is Principal Dai's protΓ©gΓ©, so there is no need to ask him how he knows.
"Now, let me talk about this device. The name of the function is steering power, and the device is a steering power pump. The structure is a vane gear plunger ~~~. β
While drawing pictures, I explained the working principle in front of everyone. And everyone is an engineer, and the principle is incorrect and incomprehensible, and you can understand it at a glance.
They were ready to work hard, and when they came, they told their parents, wives and children about the importance of work, and asked for their family's understanding and support. It is very difficult to make progress in a year and a half in a job like theirs, and it is not impossible even a few years.
But now they have seen something, not only the direction, but also the perfect theory, and even how to operate. Of course, Luo Cheng also said that this has been available abroad for a long time, and it should not have been developed by him. But that's important, what is the doctrine of take-it-or-leave-it?
Cars are imitations of other countries, ships, weapons are all. Now that there is a lack of development capacity in China, it is already very good to be able to imitate it. A lot of things have to be explored on their own, not given to you a single thing, which you can easily imitate without any data and guidance.
Therefore, the power steering pump that Luo Cheng is talking about now, even if he learned it from elsewhere, as long as it can be produced and used domestically, the effect is the same as what he said, then this is a merit.
It doesn't matter if it's a white cat or a black cat, the one that can catch a mouse is a good cat.
