The machinery factory of the Manufacturing Director Department is located in Bairen Industrial Zone. Although there are many manufacturing companies under the Manufacturing Director Department, the core is still this machinery factory - various mechanical equipment brought from the old time and space are retained as STC.
Most of them are installed here. There are specialized machining workshops, assembly workshops, metalworking workshops, riveting and welding workshops, forging workshops, heat treatment workshops, casting workshops, electroplating workshops, woodworking workshops, standard parts workshops, bearing workshops, and chain workshops.
Measuring tool workshop...a series of professional workshops. Not only does it manufacture various mechanical equipment, it also manufactures a large number of various standardized parts, tools and measuring tools commonly used in the industrial field. It is the core part of Chuanchuan Group Industry.
In addition to these tasks, another important task of the machinery factory is to carry out self-replication of industrial equipment, ultimately achieving the goal of enabling the entire industrial system to self-replicate and self-upgrade without relying on equipment from old time and space.
The Machinery General Factory used to be nothing more than a large shed with bamboo poles on brick pillars and a straw curtain as a roof. As the Lingao regime continued to strengthen, the conditions of the factory also improved greatly. It is now the same as the arsenal in Bopu.
It gradually turned into a heavily guarded fortress. On the 1-meter-high reinforced concrete wall base stood a 5-meter-high plain red brick wall, with dense battlements and sentry towers standing on it. The walls of the factory itself are also workshops, warehouses and
Office. Two red brick circular towers guard the deep and tall door opening on the left and right. The arched lintel of reinforced concrete is inlaid with a line of large characters "Manufacturing Directorate Department Directly Under the Administration of Bairen Machinery General Factory" spliced with red broken glass. The words on the left and right of the door.
On each wall of the tower stretched out a pig-iron arm with clenched fists and bulging muscles, holding a cast-iron torch. At night, the gas fire burned brightly on the torch, illuminating the entire gatehouse.
The machinery roared all night long in the Machinery General Factory, and black smoke and white steam evaporated day and night. Those naturalized citizens who hold special passes and are allowed to enter to work and study will see a circular square in the center as soon as they enter the gate.
It is a modern sculpture that symbolizes industrial power - but ten out of ten natives cannot understand it.
Surrounding the square are three-story buildings used for administration and offices. Ahead of the square is a cinder block big enough for four heavy-duty carriages to pass side by side. On the east and west sides of the road are wrought iron truss structures with rooms next to each other.
Elevated factory buildings with red brick exterior walls - truss factory buildings are fast to build and have a lightweight structure, which is the mainstream of modern factories. Light rails embedded in the concrete roadbed are laid between workshops.
There is a power workshop on the east and west of the road. The powerful power output by the steam engine is transmitted to the ceiling of each workshop through a sky shaft, and to each machine tool through many belts and gearboxes. Although the power of the workshop uses a sky shaft drive
, there is still power supply here - each machine tool has a separate lighting work desk lamp for workers to use when operating. No matter day or night, the blue flame of the gas lamp is burning behind the explosion-proof lampshade on the wall of the workshop, radiating out
A sharp light. Cast iron water pipes are fixed on the wall, continuously supplying machine tools that need water cooling.
The workshop is filled with the smell of water vapor, soot, engine oil and heated steel, the roar of the operation of machinery and equipment, the sharp friction of processing parts, and the crash of loading and unloading materials. The natives who came here for the first time were all shocked by this scene.
, and then were impressed by the "divine power" of industry. The elders were able to control such power at will, which made the natives feel in awe.
The naturalized people working here are the elite among the naturalized people. In the traditional agricultural society, there are not many people who are suitable to be modern mechanical workers. Those who can stay in the machinery factory to work, even if they are just handymen - they are all clever and handy.
, quick-responsive natives, almost all of them are young people under the age of 20 and have strong learning ability.
The working environment in pre-industrial society was very harsh. Exhaust gas, noise, vibration and highly concentrated work made workers' labor intensity extremely high. In order to ensure the physical health of industrial workers who have been painstakingly trained and can serve the time travel industry for a long time, not only
Industrial workers are treated favorably, and canteens, public bathrooms, health rooms and temporary dormitories are set up in the factory area. They also do their best to supply labor protection supplies. Lingao produces its own cotton gauze gloves, work clothes, masks, and even labor protection glasses and earmuffs.
Everything you need.
At the end of the road is another high wall. The gate guarded by a sentry tower is closed. Pedestrians only need to use the small door on the side to enter and exit. The gate will only be opened when the carriage or rail car transporting large goods arrives. Every day
At this time, the sentries on duty will guard the surrounding area with guns and ammunition, and no unrelated persons will be allowed to enter.
Behind the heavily guarded gate are two of the only four sets of joint processing centers in the Senate. They are installed in a carefully built special workshop. The other is installed in a secret workshop in the Gaoshanling area. The other is sealed
It’s up. The high processing precision that the joint machining center can achieve cannot be achieved by all Lingao’s current equipment combined. It is specially used to manufacture many molds and special parts that require high-precision processing. The use of the joint machining center requires the development of
The signatures of Ya and Wu De from the Planning Institute.
There is also a warehouse directly under the jurisdiction of the Planning Institute in the compound of the closely protected processing center. In order to facilitate the manufacturing department to access it nearby, the Planning Institute has set up a controlled products warehouse here to store materials brought from the old time and space: various labeled products.
Special steel, non-ferrous metals, standard parts and tools, measuring tools.
Turn left from the gate of the Joint Processing Center, pass a row of factory warehouses, and arrive at a large open space. This is a test site and a storage yard for heavy raw materials specially used for assembling and testing large equipment. At the root of the wall of the open space, stands
A simple earthen crane, with many steel plates, steel materials and several machine tool bases piled next to it, has become rusty due to exposure to wind and rain.
In order to facilitate the testing of certain large-scale engineering equipment, a set of reinforced concrete columns were built in the empty site to support the equipment. Now this column is equipped with a chain dumper that has just been manufactured. A Lingao-made pot dumper is temporarily used as equipment.
motivation.
Tracks are laid on the artificially constructed slope, and the dump rail car is parked on the slope. The principle of the entire dump loader is very simple. Through the rotation of the chain, many dump buckets are continuously raised to a high position, and then automatically overturned to dump the ore in the cargo hold.
The tipping bucket goes down, and when it goes down to the ground section, the tipping bucket is continuously filled with ore through manpower. The chain and the tipping bucket hanging on the chain are a cyclic action. Although the feeding still uses manpower, continuous loading and unloading of goods is achieved. Labor efficiency ratio
The dock workers carried the big basket, who knew how high it was.
Although the principle is very simple, hanging the chain is a huge technical problem. It is a high-strength ring chain. There are 34 tipping buckets on the hanging chain, and each tipping bucket also carries several tons of iron ore. The hanging chain
The load has very high requirements, involving many aspects including materials, heat treatment and mechanical processing.
Now, all the wooden dump trucks used for the test have been hung up, and the working load has been filled with sandbags and iron ingots. Zhan Wuya and some key veterans of the machinery factory are all watching eagerly.
When Zhan Wuya saw that people were almost here, he waved to the workers and said, "Everyone, move back and start immediately!"
When the workers heard Zhan Wuya's order, they immediately turned on the transmission switch. The pot camel machine output power through the gearbox, and then the hoist began to rotate. The chain was tightened, and a row of hanging buckets began to move swayingly, rising with a rumble.
The higher it rises, it reaches two-thirds of the height in an instant.
Zhan Wuya, Jiang Hongjun, Liang Xin, Sun Li and other veterans of the machinery industry and all the workers present watched in rapt attention as the tipping bucket climbed higher and higher, feeling happier. Although the chain was small, it was industrial equipment.
A necessity in the field, Lingao's self-produced hanging chains are now very inadequate in terms of load capacity and durability. This time, both materials and processing methods have been greatly improved. If it can be successfully manufactured, it will be solved.
A big problem in industrialization.
Everyone looked at it, and suddenly there was a click and the chain broke.
"Oops!" As soon as everyone shouted out, there was a loud roar, and all the hanging buckets fell to the ground, smoke was everywhere, and it was smashed to pieces.
Sun Li touched the helmet on his head: "The load capacity is still insufficient."
"We need to do a metallographic analysis," Zhan Wuya said, "to see if it is a material problem or a processing problem."
At that moment, everyone carried the chain back and placed it in the forging workshop. The forging workshop of the Machinery General Factory was comparable in size to the arsenal. Of course, the large steam forging machine was homemade after D-Day.
"Let's all do some analysis tonight." Zhan Wuya said to the disappointed mechanical mouth elders, "Does anyone want to have sex with the maid tonight? Those who have such plans don't have to come."
Several people burst into laughter, and Sun Li said: "The maid always keeps it there. You can use it anytime you want. You can use it in the morning and in the evening. I will definitely come."
Several other people also expressed that they would come. The machinery factory is the place with the highest concentration of veterans. Many of the machine tool operators are veterans themselves, especially in lathes, fitters and joint machining centers. The main force is still veterans who are skilled workers. Not only do they
You have to operate the equipment yourself, and you also have to take on the task of teaching apprentices. The work is very busy. Many people have lived in the factory since its inception, and now many people still sleep in their own offices. For many people, work
It's their entertainment.
Zhan Wuya also lives in the factory, and he has a particularly deep affection for the Machinery General Factory - the earliest foundation of this Machinery General Factory is the small machinery processing factory he opened in the suburbs of Guangzhou. He usually sleeps in a corner of the factory.
In a dormitory - just like when I was a small boss.
