For 1,000 yuan, you can rent engine production equipment, which is indeed quite a bargain.

Niu Xiaoqiang grinned and said, "Don't worry, Master, I promise that I won't drop the chain, I don't know when we will officially start work?"

Fang Dongping rubbed his hands excitedly: "Of course I'll start tonight." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "Well, let's go and rest first while we have time, so as not to doze off at night." ”

Zhang Xinming had already prepared a place for the two of them to stay, and the two went to rest after discussing it. Before leaving, Niu Xiaoqiang specially threw the prepared materials into the steelmaking furnace, so as not to be known about the secret of super carbon steel.

The steelmaking furnace of Xinming Farm Implements Factory is not open every day, and they usually only open the furnace for one day a week, so Niu Xiaoqiang will not delay people's production work.

At half past eleven in the evening, Niu Xiaoqiang and Fang Dongping borrowed the kitchen of Xinming Farm Tools Factory to cook some noodles, and after filling their stomachs, the two came to Yuyang Agricultural Machinery Factory with the drawings. Zhou Kai was idle, and he followed behind, saying that he wanted to give the two of them a hand.

Fang Dongping has known Zhou Kai for a long time, he admires Zhou Kai's personality very much, and he also knows the matter between Zhou Kai and Niu Xiaxiang, so he did not refuse the other party.

Because the factory director had already explained, the doorman did not stop him, and the three of them easily entered the tractor head production workshop of Yuyang Agricultural Machinery Factory.

The products produced by Yuyang Agricultural Machinery Factory and Sanyang Tractor Factory are similar, and the main business is to manufacture tractors. However, Yuyang Agricultural Machinery Factory has a wider range of products, in addition to tractors for pulling goods, they also produce farming machinery for farming.

This kind of farming machinery is to put it bluntly behind the tractor head to install an iron plough that can plow the land, in Niu Xiaoqiang's view, this equipment does not have any technical content, but for the majority of farmers, this equipment is very practical.

The benefits of Yuyang Agricultural Machinery Factory are better than those of Sanyang Tractor Factory, and the equipment is also newer. After entering the workshop, Niu Xiaoqiang saw a lot of equipment that he had seen in Sanyang Tractor Factory before, and couldn't stop making a sound of envy: "There are really a lot of good things here, and with these good things, our trial production work will definitely be successfully completed." ”

Fang Dongping poured a basin of cold water: "Don't think it's so beautiful, we can only use part of the things here, and we can't move the equipment that is too valuable." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved.

Although Zhang Xinming's eldest brother is the factory director, people also have to consider the impact. It's okay for him to lend ordinary equipment to Fang Dongping for use, if it's too valuable equipment, then he has to think about the consequences.

The most important thing is that the risk is too great, if the valuable equipment is damaged by Fang Dongping, the problem will be a big problem, even if he is the factory director, it is not so easy to explain.

Niu Xiaoqiang asked, "Master, what equipment can we use?"

Fang Dongping smiled bitterly: "Let me tell you this, except for the grinding equipment, we can't move other valuable equipment, even if it is the grinding equipment, I tried my best to get it, otherwise Director Zhang wouldn't want to nod." ”

The grinding equipment mentioned by Fang Dongping refers to the finishing equipment after the engine casting mold is formed. Engine parts that have just been cast are so rough that they simply cannot be tried and require finishing to be assembled. This link is very critical for engine manufacturing, as long as there is a problem in the processing of the part, it means that the casting fails, and all the production links of the part must be repeated.

Niu Xiaoqiang is not worried about the problem of processing, what he values most is the sand mold casting of the engine. This is a fundamental problem in the production of spare parts, which is related to whether the size and specifications of spare parts can meet the design requirements.

"Master, can't we borrow the desert carving machine?"

Fang Dongping shook his head: "The desert engraving machine is the most important thing for people, they usually serve it as a treasure, how can they be lent to us to use it?"

Niu Xiaoqiang's eyes widened: "If there is no desert engraving machine, how should we make molds?"

Fang Dongping raised his eyebrows, with a proud expression: "Of course it's handmade, don't forget what Master used to do, when I was young, there was no such thing in our country, and as a result, didn't we still build one engine after another by manual operation?"

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed, and said in his heart: I remember that Master told me before that the reason why there are so many top technicians in our country is because there is no high-end equipment to be forced out, and many of the jobs that were originally mechanical can only be done by hand.

"Let's go, let's hurry up and cast the sand mold, and after the mold is made, we will take it to the Xinming Farm Tool Factory to cast." ”

The steelmaking equipment of Yuyang Agricultural Machinery Factory is also not borrowed, so Niu Xiaoqiang and others can only go to Xinming Agricultural Machinery Factory to make steelmaking and cast parts.

"Okay, let's get to work!"

Zhou Kai didn't speak all the time, he was dumbfounded for a long time. He had heard his master talk about the hand-casting of molds before, and he was still skeptical about it at that time, and he always felt that it was very unreliable.

In Zhou Kai's view, the specifications of engine parts are so fine, how can it be possible to carve out the mold by hand? This is simply a fantasy, even if it can really be carved, it is estimated that most of it is by luck, right?

At this moment, after listening to the conversation between the master and the apprentice, he knew that what the master had told him before was not a lie, but a real thing, so his evaluation of Fang Dongping became even higher.

"Elder Fang is too good, he has no edges!"

Zhou Kai sighed quietly and followed quickly.

The three of them came to the desert manufacturing workshop, and before they started, Fang Dongping advised: "We have to pay for the materials here according to the purchase price of others, you must obey my command, don't waste materials, otherwise you will waste more money." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang and Zhou Kai immediately nodded and started their work under the command of Fang Dongping.

Fang Dongping wanted to take this opportunity to let Niu Xiaoqiang have a deeper understanding of the engine manufacturing technology, so he did not take care of his own work, but asked Niu Xiaoqiang to work with him.

Niu Xiaoqiang was not polite at all, and took the initiative to ask when he encountered a question that he didn't understand, Fang Dongping naturally knew everything and said everything. As a result, the progress of the work will not be fast.

In fact, Fang Dongping didn't want to speed up, he regarded this matter as an art, and wanted to be in the most perfect state possible, otherwise he would be sorry for his ability.
