Chapter 11: Build a bending machine first
We chatted and laughed along the way and soon arrived at the Mafang Machinery Factory.
Zhao Yougui took Wang Haoran to meet the factory director Dai Hongtao.
Dai Hongtao was drinking tea in the office with Zhu Feng, a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily.
Recently, the city is planning to establish grassroots role models. As a reporter for Beijing Youth Daily, Zhu Feng has been interviewing in towns and villages these days.
He mainly went to factories to find role models and interviewed model stories.
After all, the workers are Big Brother!
In this era, the status of workers is extremely high.
Workers, peasants and soldiers study business, with industry coming first.
Zhao Yougui brought Wang Haoran to the factory director's office and introduced Wang Haoran to Dai Hongtao: "Director Dai, this is my good friend Wang Haoran when I was an educated youth in Licai Village. He invented a new type of agricultural machinery and wanted to see if our factory can produce it."
Dai Hongtao was very interested: "Really? It's a good thing that young people love to invent things! Do you have the drawings?"
Zhu Feng didn't interrupt, but watched with great interest.
Wang Haoran said, "Director Dai, I can draw the process diagram on the spot. The thing I envisioned is actually very easy to manufacture. Can you give me a pen? I will draw it now."
Dai Hongtao stood up and took some papers for drawing designs and some drawing tools.
Wang Haoran spread the paper on the table, picked up a carbon pencil, thought for a moment, and began to draw on the paper.
Dai Hongtao raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
But Zhao Yougui couldn't help himself: "Don't you need a scale?"
Wang Haoran smiled and said without even looking up: "No need for that thing, I'll just mark it later."
As he spoke, he quickly drew a schematic diagram of a human-powered machine.
Zhu Feng also came over to take a look at this time, and saw that this strange human-powered mechanical device had a thing similar to a bicycle wheel at the front, and two long curved handles at the back, with a container on top that had a large opening on the top and a small opening on the bottom.
At the bottom is a triangular shovel head.
"What is this thing used for?" Zhu Feng asked.
Wang Haoran said: "It's time to plant the seeds soon. This is the manual seeding machine I designed. Just put the seeds in this container and push it to complete the interplanting of wheat, which saves a lot of manpower."
"Moreover, this farm tool can also be used for fertilizing and weeding..."
Wang Haoran introduced the purpose of his invention.
After listening to this, Dai Hongtao nodded and said, "It's quite interesting. Maybe after it is manufactured, it can help farmers improve their production efficiency."
Zhu Feng said: "It shouldn't be complicated to make this thing, right?"
Wang Haoran said: "It's not too complicated. The most technically demanding part is the wheel."
"We need a bending machine to make wheels. Do we have one here?"
Dai Hongtao shook his head and said, "We have small bending equipment, but we are just a small factory and cannot make too complicated products. We really don't have a bending machine that can make wheels."
Wang Haoran was quite surprised. How could such a small factory with only a hundred employees not even have a bending machine?
In the 21st century, all small mechanical workshops will have equipment such as bending machines.
However, building a bending machine doesn’t seem that difficult.
Thinking of this, Wang Haoran said: "I think the bending machine doesn't seem that complicated. Why don't we try to build one?"
Although he said this, he already had a design plan for a wheel bending machine in his mind.
Zhao Yougui was surprised: "That's a high-end thing, only large machine tool factories can produce it, right?"
Wang Haoran smiled, and then he took another piece of paper and drew the wheel bending machine he designed. The front wheel of the multifunctional manual seeding machine he designed was the same size as the wheel of a 28-inch bicycle.
If we can build such a bending machine, we might be able to try to produce bicycles in the future.
Dai Hongtao looked at the bending machine design drawing drawn by Wang Haoran, and he could hardly believe his eyes.
He was greatly shocked: This young man is such a talent!
"Comrade Wang Haoran, the machine you drew has a motor... I'm afraid we can't build it?" said Dai Hongtao.
Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Director Dai, actually, the motor is not that complicated. We can build one ourselves."
"You don't want our Mafang Machinery Factory to keep doing small things, do you?"
"Do you want to be able to produce bicycles, electric motors, generators, and even motor vehicles in the future?"
Dai Hongtao certainly hopes to make the Mafang Machinery Factory bigger and stronger.
However, without financial support from his superiors, he felt that it would be difficult to gain opportunities for great development through his own efforts alone.
Dai Hongtao scratched his head and laughed, "Of course I want to, but we don't have the equipment, the funds, or the talent..."
He said this and spread his hands.
Wang Haoran said: "If we don't have the equipment, we can make it ourselves! As for the funds, we can earn them by producing good products."
"Do you dare to give it a try? Let's build a bending machine first?"
Dai Hongtao did not hesitate. He waved his hand and said, "Why are you afraid?! Our factory doesn't have any important work recently, so I will fully cooperate with you and give it a try!"
So, Dai Hongtao mobilized all the technical experts in their Mafang Machinery Factory to start working with Wang Haoran.
They need to build a bending machine first.
Wang Haoran divided the work among everyone, and each group did a part of the work.
He himself is responsible for winding the motor.
The existing equipment of the Mafang Machinery Factory is not complete, but it can be used as it is.
As for the production materials, we searched the warehouse and found them all.
When many hands make light work, the fire burns higher. While working, Wang Haoran also encouraged everyone by describing the bright prospects of increased wages and bonuses for everyone after the Mafang Machinery Factory was upgraded and able to produce more advanced products.
Zhu Feng, a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily, watched the scene with great interest. He kept taking pictures of the scene with his camera.
He felt that he could have identified the grassroots role model he was looking for.
However, we still have to see whether Wang Haoran can really make the bending machine.
If he can lead the people at Mafang Machinery Factory to develop advanced equipment like a large bending machine, he can be considered a high-level talent from the grassroots!
Dai Hongtao also got involved, and he made motors together with Wang Haoran.
He felt that Wang Haoran had a kind of power that could infect others and inspire them.
In order to build this bending machine, Mafang Machinery Factory mobilized more than 20 technical backbones to work together.
With Wang Haoran's guidance, the manufacturing of the bending machine was generally very smooth and fast.
We started working at around 8:50 in the morning, and by 11:45, an electric bending machine was built.
Wang Haoran wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the bending machine in front of him, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Dai Hongtao came over, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Comrade Haoran, I can't believe it! You can actually teach yourself in the countryside! Judging from your performance just now, no one would dare to disbelieve you if you were told that you are a senior fitter!"
