Faced with foreigners and the Japanese army’s technological blockade,
Especially regarding core technological blockades such as gunpowder, chemistry, industrial manufacturing, etc.
As a result, the entire country is almost in a state of zero industrial foundation.
The country lacks advanced science and technology, so whether it is manufacturing, industry, or various industries, especially the military manufacturing industry, it cannot be compared with or comparable to foreign countries.
Even the wealthy Zhang Dashuai relied entirely on the military technical support provided by the Japanese army in his Northeastern Army's arsenal, whether it was manufacturing aircraft, tanks, or ships.
Whether they are military designers, engineers, or technicians, they are all from the Japanese army. The most tragic thing is that even the raw materials for manufacturing need to be purchased from the Japanese army. As for the core technology, it is either controlled by the Japanese army or by others.
In the country of foreigners,
His side of the arsenal is only responsible for simple assembly.
When Zhou Wenhua was in the warehouse of the automobile factory, after fully understanding the newly purchased diesel injection pumps, he also dismantled and thoroughly understood the diesel engines that his father had purchased early and had been eliminated by foreigners.
understanding.
After he fully understood these old diesel engines, he also began to walk out of the warehouse.
Because he wants to develop his own car, he also needs to figure out how to build a car production line similar to the car assembly line invented by Ford and him, so that the car can move toward industrial production.
Rather than just copying a small number of cars,
We must know that even in an era of advanced technology more than 100 years later, automobile assembly still uses the assembly line invented by Ford, but later generations adopted intelligence and robots to replace manual labor.
The Ford Model T rolled off the assembly line, which was the first assembly line in the true sense of the automobile manufacturing industry.
In 1900, the American Norton used emery and corundum stone to make a grinding wheel with a large and wide diameter, as well as a heavy-duty grinder with high rigidity and strength. With the emergence and development of this heavy-duty grinder, the entire human machinery manufacturing technology has also entered the stage of precision.
a new stage of transformation.
Although it is not as good as the CNC machine tools of later generations,
But there has been great progress,
Operators manually operate electric machine tools to produce processed parts according to the requirements of design drawings. Faced with such a new industrial production method, the production efficiency and quality are definitely higher than those in the steam era.
In the later era when the country was prosperous and the people were strong, the gap between domestic machine tool manufacturing technology and that of Germany, Italy and Japan was 15 to 20 years.
Foreign machine tools can run 24 hours a day, but domestic equipment cannot; foreign machine tools can process parts faster than domestic equipment.
What's more, the Republic of China was an era when industry had almost zero foundation.
Moreover, it was still the era of the most brutal blockade of foreign science and technology and industrial technology, so I wanted to develop my own car production line and manufacture cars.
Zhou Wenhua must get electric machine tools.
As for wanting to spend a lot of money and buy from foreigners,
That's simply impossible,
For foreigners, this is a technological product that even if they have money they will not sell it.
Otherwise, how can we talk about technical blockade?
He just doesn’t want the country where Zhou Wenhua is located to receive industrial reforms and rise.
Machine tools are divided into 11 categories: lathes, drilling machines, gear processing machine tools, thread processing machine tools, milling machines, planing machines, boring machines, grinders, broaching machines, sawing machines and other machine tools.
In the early days of the Industrial Revolution, most common machine tools were made of wood, and the parts inside including gears, connecting rods, shafts, etc. were all made of wood.
However, with the development of industrialization, metal-made machine tools replaced wooden parts with forged and cast metal parts.
But even so, accuracy is still a problem that needs to be solved.
Accuracy generally has two concepts, one is processing accuracy and the other is measurement accuracy.
German and Italian industrial technology and machine tool manufacturing technology, whether during the Republic of China or later generations, have always been world-renowned for their exquisiteness and rigor.
Although Zhou Wenhua could use his considerable knowledge of science and technology from later generations to exchange technology with German and Italian machine tool brands and military industry tycoons for a few precision electric machine tools to produce and develop cars.
Of course, we can also exchange technology with Ford Motor Company for automobile production lines.
But for him now, he really wants to try it and use his own knowledge to carry out independent research and development and production without cooperating with foreigners.
Chiron, a German company founded in 1921, Siemens with headquarters in Berlin and Munich, and Schuler, which has been producing metal processing machine tools since 1852, are all machine tools of this era and representatives of electrification.
As for Dekelma Haoji Temai Machine Tool Co., Ltd., it was only established in 2002.
But these German and Italian machine tool companies will never transfer their core technologies to outsiders.
So while Zhou Wenhua was thinking about future generations and the current history of machine tool development during the Republic of China,
Although he could also find a few usable steel frames and build a simple manual lathe to make things, but to produce cars, industrial machine tools are necessary.
Military industries such as aircraft and tanks in various countries without exception use assembly lines for mass production.
Just when he was thinking about this, Zhou Wenhua suddenly remembered that his father stored a scrapped planer guide rail and milling machine frame in the utility room at home.
He felt that he might be able to study and use it.
At that time, the automobile industry was a hand-workshop type. You bought an engine and transmission box, coupled with wheels, brakes, and seats, and a car was quickly assembled.
However, such a simple and slow assembly cannot be carried out in a commercial automobile production process, which can produce various models of automobiles at the fastest speed for mass production.
However, Ford, which has always been a leader in the automobile industry, in 1931, its automobile market share had dropped to 28%, which was only a little more than half of 17 years ago.
So Zhou Wenhua felt that if he really couldn't make his own industrial machine tools, then he might consider exchanging technology with Ford, whose business volume was declining.
Anyway, Ford has a good, hard-working son named Edsel.
Maybe we can use this Edsel for technical exchanges and production lines.
The industrial automobile production and assembly line developed by Ford Motor Company in 1927 could already assemble a car every 24 seconds.
Steel is the cornerstone of materials used in the automotive industry.
Therefore, Zhou Wenhua still needs to deal with machine tools, industrial automobile production lines, and the development and production of steel. It can be said that many science and technologies need him to handle.
But for Zhou Wenhua, who had witnessed the mechanization and intelligent production process of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class from a piece of iron sheet to a complete vehicle in later generations, he felt that he was still capable of solving the Ford production line of this period.
Of course, he has visited and studied Tesla's on-site manufacturing and the streamlined production lines of many brands of automobile factories, so he really has this confidence and confidence.
Just when Zhou Wenhua was about to leave the car factory,
The call from housekeeper Liu Xing suddenly came to the automobile factory.
And asked the car master here to call Zhou Wenhua to answer the call.
"Hey! Is it the housekeeper? What's going on?"
When Zhou Wenhua learned about the urgent call from housekeeper Liu Xing, he quickly went to the office to answer the call.
"That's it, Fourth Young Master! The Navy has sent two officers over to report, saying they are here to assist you in training the newly recruited security team members!"
"In addition, Boss Fan of the Yongli Alkali Plant, who has a cooperative relationship with the master, after the negotiation with companies in Britain and Germany broke down, he planned to consider setting up his own Wynn Sulfate Sulfate Plant, but he now needs financial support, so he called
, ask our company if we have any intention to invest in cooperation!”
When Zhou Wenhua answered the phone,
The housekeeper Liu Xing also reported immediately and candidly.
"Boss Fan? Boss Fan from Wynn Soda Plant?"
"Yes! It's him!"
"Okay! I'll be back soon. You call Boss Fan. I'm willing to invest in him to cooperate in setting up our first domestic rium sulfate factory, and the name will still use his Wynn brand name!"
"As for the two officers sent by the navy, please entertain them well and arrange their accommodation. I will rush back now!"
Hearing this, Zhou Wenhua was confused for a moment.
Then, his eyes widened with surprise on his face,
Afterwards, he also showed a bright smile and readily agreed to the investment reply.
