Scholars in the courtyard

Rolling mill, fleet station.

While refueling the car, Yang Xiaotao took out a box of Qunying and chatted with several drivers waiting to get out of the car. Under the rising smoke, there were bursts of cheers and sighs.

In fact, it's just bragging and spanking.

These drivers travel all over the country and may not know much, but they certainly see a lot.

Everyone was talking about it, and finally they talked about the truck.

This means that the cars in Shanghai are easy to control, but they pull too little cargo, and the front of the car is larger than the body of the car.

That Jiefang car is good, but it uses gasoline, which is difficult to refill and consumes very quickly.

Speaking of this, Yang Xiaotao also knew about his new car.

The Type 58 jeep made in Shanghai uses a gasoline engine. It can carry six passengers. It can be said that the space is not small, but the fuel consumption is really high.

Especially in this era, when domestic engine technology is backward, the utilization rate of gasoline is not high and it is easy to waste it.

This is why the steel rolling mill prefers to use a jeep instead of a big truck when going out to pick up people.

Listening to everyone talking about the problems of each car, most of them are lackluster. They run fine on flat roads, but they can't run on potholed land.

Just as he was talking, Liu Jun filled up the car with gas and came over, "Director Xiao Yang, the jeep has been filled with gas for you."

"Thanks, Captain Liu!"

Yang Xiaotao said gratefully, then he thought about the seat belt when he took off at the venue today, and then asked, "Captain Liu, I want to know something."

Liu Jun and several drivers listened.

"Do we usually tie a rope to the car? This way we can protect ourselves if something happens."

Yang Xiaotao wasn't sure if there were seat belts now, and he didn't know if they were available abroad, so he could only ask.

Liu Jun and several drivers looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison.

"Director Xiao Yang, what is the rope you are talking about for?"

"Yeah, who has nothing to do to tie a rope?"

"What kind of rope?"

Several people were chattering. Seeing that Yang Xiaotao couldn't explain clearly, he asked someone to get a rope and put it into the cab, "That's it, from here to here, fix it up and down, and fix it here with a bayonet. "

"That way if you get into a car accident, especially if you hit something, the person won't be thrown out."

Yang Xiaotao was gesticulating on the side and even gave a demonstration himself, but Liu Jun and the driver didn't find it useful when they saw it, and they all looked suspicious.

Finally, it was Liu Jun who spoke, "When we usually drive, we can stop by just braking when something happens."

Yang Xiaotao had a big mouth and said so much about his feelings, but they just didn't take it seriously.

Then Yang Xiaotao thought of something.

Cars these days don’t run very fast. Even that second-hand jeep can only go as fast as 70 or 80 kilometers per hour. This is still a theoretical value. How far it can go depends on the road conditions and the performance of the car itself. .

The jeep is like this, and the trucks underneath are similar. The speeds of 80 to 90 kilometers per hour in later generations are simply rare here.

The speed is slow and there are few cars, so there are not many traffic accidents.

Moreover, the most common thing the team encountered was getting into ditches or tipping over. At this time, the driver was trapped in the car, which was not conducive to rescue, so everyone didn't take Yang Xiaotao's words seriously.

Seeing everyone's appearance, Yang Xiaotao knew that it was useless to wear seat belts with them.

But Yang Xiaotao doesn't think seat belts are useless. They think they are useless because they have never seen them before.

Based on the experience and lessons from later generations and the principle of life safety, Yang Xiaotao felt that it was necessary to develop seat belts as soon as possible and install them on his own car first.

When the time comes, let them see it and understand the benefits of this thing.

That's a life-saving thing.

After once again emphasizing the benefits of seat belts to Liu Jun and others, Yang Xiaotao drove away. He was going to Workshop 10 to get a seat belt.

Watching Yang Xiaotao leave, Liu Jun and others looked at each other in shock.

If it were someone else who told them this, they would have dismissed them, turned around and left.

But it was Yang Xiaotao who was talking to them, so this matter is worth pondering.

That was Yang Xiaotao, the youngest engineer in the steel rolling mill and the youngest factory owner. He was more capable than the rest of them put together.

Could the things he said be trivial?

"Captain, I think Director Yang is right."

Xiao Ma said timidly. Last time he drove a long distance, he encountered several problems. Although they have all passed, he still feels scared when he thinks about it.

"You flatterer, what makes sense, tell me why it makes sense?"

Someone immediately stood next to him and pressed Xiao Ma's head, "Xiao Ma, I didn't expect you to be such a person."

"No, I think it makes sense."

Xiao Ma raised his neck and tried to defend himself. In his heart, he admired Yang Xiaotao.

"Okay, stop making trouble."

Liu Jun stopped the group's play and frowned a few times, "Since Director Yang said it, let's give it a try. Anyway, it won't be a big deal."

"Fengzi, go find some belts and see if you can tie them to the car."

"Ah, Captain, I really want it. It's so inconvenient to get on and off the bus."

Mineko complained not wanting to move.

Liu Jun raised his foot and gave his butt a kiss, "Go quickly."

"Oh, let's go now~~"

On the other side, Yang Xiaotao drove his jeep to the office building, got off the car and walked quickly towards the office.

Along the way, many people knew that Factory Director Xiao Yang had a special car, and they all looked envious.

Especially Wang Guodong, when he saw Yang Xiaotao, he got angry. However, he also knew his situation. It was a fluke that he could sit in the position of deputy director. If he was in the limelight without corresponding achievements, the people below would have opinions. .

However, just because it’s not there now doesn’t mean it won’t be there in the future.

After two years, the position was secure and the car naturally matched.

Yang Xiaotao and Wang Guodong talked for a while and then walked to the office.

Opening the door, Lou Xiao'e looked at Yang Xiaotao who was in a hurry and didn't know what was going on. She was about to ask what was going on when she saw Yang Xiaotao sitting on his seat, taking out a pen and paper from the drawer, and then drawing on it.

After a while, he put the drawn paper aside and continued to draw new ones.

Yang Xiaotao's decision to make a seat belt is the same as that of later generations. Since he wants to do it, he has to do it in one step and save trouble.

Although Yang Xiaotao had never made the seat belts used in later generations of cars, he knew the principles.

In the past, it would have been really difficult for him to make this thing based on principles based on his ability, but after a series of systematic knowledge infusion, he had a level 8 fitter's basic skills, and an engineer with design capabilities could also make up for it.

First draw the frame of the retractor, then the coil spring and rotating shaft, and then the rope strap, so that the basic three-point safety belt can be formed.

Then there is the central part and the internal gear, and the most important part, the clamping wheel.

If the seat belt is pulled quickly, due to the rapid rotation of the seat belt roller, the clamping wheel inside will deviate from the belt and be clamped by the internal gear, thereby causing the rotating shaft to stop rotating, thereby locking the seat belt.

Soon, the components in Yang Xiaotao's notebook gradually took shape. Yang Xiaotao placed them one by one and then modified the data on them.

As time passed, Lou Xiao'e was holding her breath and concentrating on the side, holding a thermos bottle in her hand and staring straight at it.

"This one is here, so the coefficient should be smaller."

In Yang Xiaotao's mind, he has not heard the system's lifting sound for a long time, which means that the design of this seat belt has not yet reached the success standard.

After checking again, we found that the inner diameter of the internal gear was a little too large, which was not conducive to the locking of the clamping wheel, so it needed to be made smaller.

When the coefficient changes were completed, a prompt finally appeared in my mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have successfully designed a safety belt. The rating is good - down!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you got 500 credits."

When the sound sounded, Yang Xiaotao understood that it had passed the test and could be used.

Moreover, it has reached a good level, indicating that the design is more reasonable.

"Director, what are you doing?"

"What is this long thing? Also, is this a spring?"

Lou Xiao'e gave Yang Xiaotao a glass of water, and then looked at the drawing in confusion.

"This is a seat belt. It can be installed in the car to protect people's safety."

Yang Xiaotao said with a smile, and Lou Xiao'e was even more confused. Can such a thing protect people?

"I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to the workshop."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the time. It was four o'clock in the afternoon. There was still time, so it was just in time to make it.

Watching Yang Xiaotao leave, Lou Xiao'e frowned while holding a thermos bottle, but she still didn't understand.

But one thing she was sure of was that Yang Xiaotao was going to do something again.

In the tenth workshop, Yang Xiaotao was driving the car well. When Huang Degong heard the noise, he ran out and looked at the jeep in admiration.

"Old Huang, what do you think? Come up and take you for a walk?"

Yang Xiaotao met Lao Huang with a smile. Now Yang Xiaotao has left the work of the tenth workshop to him, and Huang Degong is worthy of being a veteran director. He takes care of things in the workshop in an orderly manner. He doesn't want to be like Wang Fa, who often comes to him to wipe his butt.

"Forget it, I can't afford to ride in this car."

Huang Degong was envious, but he shook his head, "The fuel burned by one train ride is enough for me to buy a piece of meat."

"Haha, you old man, I don't want your oil."

Yang Xiaotao smiled. When he came to the workshop just now, Yang Xiaotao had already thought about it. If there is gasoline or diesel in the exchange column in the future, he must save more for backup.

And based on his understanding of the system, now that he has a car, maybe there will be gasoline in the redemption bar next time he refreshes it.

This also encourages consumption.

The two walked to the workshop and first looked at the scene. Huang Degong pointed at the busy workers, "There have been no shortage of orders for pressure cookers now, and they are also the busiest in the workshop."

"Other heating stoves and well drilling machines are normal. There are orders but not as many as before."

Yang Xiaotao nodded. Originally, he wanted to give this heater to the branch factory below, but the time has not come yet. We will wait until after the New Year.

"The quality of the pressure cooker must be well controlled. Quality cannot be neglected because of rush for quantity."

Yang Xiaotao once again raised some quality issues, which Huang Degong understood. After all, a pot once exploded in this workshop.

Walking to the fitter parking space aside, Yang Xiaotao took out his notebook and said, "Old Huang, find me a wider rope."

Huang Degong didn't ask what he was doing, so he turned around and went to look for it. After a while, when he came back, he found Yang Xiaotao walking to a bench, holding a part and looking at it.

"What's wrong, your hands are itchy?"

Huang Degong handed a two-meter-long rope to Yang Xiaotao, saying it was wider, but the rope was not wide, so Yang Xiaotao could only make do with it.

Then he saw the drawings placed aside by Yang Xiaotao. He frowned and looked at them for a while, but still didn't understand them.

"Get a gadget for yourself."

Yang Xiaotao said, picking up the vise and getting ready to start working. He didn't ask anyone for help. Such a small thing didn't have much technical content and was easy to handle.

Huang Degong was fine and just watched from the sidelines.

Half an hour later, several parts were made by Yang Xiaotao. The only thing missing was the spring. This thing was already available in the steel rolling mill. Huang Degong looked at it for a while and found some clues. Looking at the spring parts, he went to the next door workshop to get it. A similar one can be used by Yang Xiaotao after looking at it.

Then the installation started in front of Huang Degong.

A coiled spring is attached to a section of the rotating shaft, and the rope is then held in place and as the spring curls, the rope is rolled into the retractor.

As Yang Xiaotao installed the components one by one, it was time to get off work, and many people came around to watch.
