Siheyuan: Yi Zhonghai was chopped off with a knife, who in the courtyard would not obey

Su Xincheng, Luo Renping, and others carefully reviewed the materials written by Chen Jianye.

The more they looked at them, the more horrified they became; they all wanted to crack open Chen Jianye's head to take a look.

What's going on in their heads to come up with such an excellent product?

For example, electric blankets.

It is laid thinly on the bed, and the heating resistance wire provides stable heating and can control the amount of heat generated.

This way, the bed stays warm all winter.

It's perfect for winter.

For the elderly, this thing is like half a life.

There's also a pressure cooker.

Normally, stewing beef or pig's trotters takes more than 30 minutes on the stove.

Burning for more than 30 minutes means burning a large amount of fuel.

Fuel costs money.

In ancient times, the entire forest on the mountain would be cut down to prepare for winter.

Why.

In ancient times, trees were the only source of fuel.

Nowadays, every household burns coal, and coal costs money to buy.

If you use a pressure cooker, it only takes twenty minutes of high pressure to stew beef and pig's trotters until they are tender.

Fuel consumption is reduced by 30% immediately.

It also saves a lot of time.

Even men who don't cook know the value of a pressure cooker.

An hour later, everyone had reviewed both plans.

The materials were returned to Chen Jianye.

"Everyone has seen it, right? I have two options, but with our current capabilities, we can only do one."

"I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on which one to choose."

Chen Jianye said.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other.

"Let me tell you first."

Seeing that no one was speaking, Su Xincheng, as the chief engineer, felt he had to step forward and start the conversation.

Everyone turned to look at Su Xincheng.

"Both projects are excellent and have detailed technical solutions. After thinking about it, I believe they are both feasible."

"Electric blankets have obvious advantages and are essential for winter, especially for the elderly and children."

"A pressure cooker is a type of cooking tool. Its advantages are that it saves time and fuel."

"I vote for the pressure cooker because of the time it takes."

Su Xincheng said in a daze.

"Chief Engineer Su, what did you say?"

Chen Jianye became interested.

“It’s already December. Let’s say we spend two months developing an electric blanket, a month and a half building the production line, and another month and a half increasing production.”

"Five months have passed, and it will be April next year. The weather will be getting warmer. Who will we sell our electric blankets to?"

"Pressure cookers are different. No matter when, saving time and fuel is what people need, and they are not limited by the weather."

Su Xincheng explained his reasons.

"I agree with Chief Engineer Su's opinion. For appliances like electric blankets, time is extremely important."

Luo Renping echoed.

“In the summer we sell cooling mats and electric fans, and in the winter we sell electric blankets. Once winter is over, no one will even glance at the electric blankets.”

"We can develop a pressure cooker now, and then develop an electric blanket next May, so that it can be launched on the market in October."

"At that time, electric blankets were definitely in short supply."

Lei Kaixiang also said.

Several level-eight skilled workers expressed the same opinion.

Now is not the time to develop electric blankets.

Once a product is produced, someone has to buy it.

If no one wants to buy the electric blankets after they're produced, then it's a failure. A steel mill can't keep producing electric blankets and stockpile five months' worth of stock.

“You’re absolutely right. Our next project will be developing a pressure cooker.”

"You've just looked at the technical specifications for the pressure cooker. What are your thoughts? Feel free to share them so we can discuss them together."

"If you can't remember, you can look at it again now."

Chen Jianye presented a technical solution for a pressure cooker.

"Chief Engineer Chen, is the airtightness of the pressure cooker really that good?"

"We seal it with rubber, but the rubber smell is very strong. Is it safe to cook with it?"

Lei Kaixiang raised a question.

"The sealing performance of rubber sealing rings is beyond doubt and can be fully achieved. We also use them frequently in our factory production."

"As for the smell of rubber, it mainly depends on the material of the rubber, which is not a difficult point."

Chen Jianye said calmly.

"How can the pressure cooker's valve be designed to be raised but not opened?"

Zhao Hangxing asked a very practical question.

"It's simple. We can just experiment one by one, changing the valves of different weights, and finally locking in a certain state."

Chen Jianye explained.

People asked a lot of questions. He could answer some of them immediately, while he needed to think about others.

There were a few questions that Chen Jianye couldn't answer, so he could only record them and observe the situation during the subsequent research and development process.

In the process of thinking about the answer, Chen Jianye gained a deeper understanding of the design principles of pressure cookers.

"You guys discuss this further. I'll go to the workshop director to hand over the production line work."

Half an hour later, Chen Jianye got up.

He needs to develop new projects, so naturally he won't stay by the production line any longer.

Not only does he have to go back to the technical office, but the entire project team has to go back with him.

He couldn't handle the entire research and development process by himself.

"Director Zhang."

Chen Jianye arrived at the office of Zhang Dangfeng, the director of Workshop 3.

"Oh, Chief Engineer Chen."

"Please sit down, please sit down. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhang Dangfeng was older than Chen Jianye's father, but he was very enthusiastic towards Chen Jianye and took the initiative to make tea.

"Director Zhang, there's no need to be so polite. I have something to discuss with you about work."

"I'm back this time to continue the R&D work with the project team. The hot water production line is stable now, so the project team doesn't need to follow it anymore."

"I'm considering formally transferring the maintenance of the immersion heater production line to Workshop 3. What do you think?"

Chen Jianye said with a smile.

"Oh dear, the project team has to evacuate."

Zhang Dangfeng was startled.

The hot water heater is currently the most popular product in the factory, with a very high daily output; even a thousand units produced per day are not enough.

Maintaining the normal operation of the immersion heater production line may seem like a simple task, but in reality, it is extremely challenging.

If the production line stops, the repairs will take one or two hours, wasting a lot of time and affecting production. Zhang Dangfeng will also have to report to his superiors.

"Yes, the project team can't stay online indefinitely; it doesn't fit the process."

Chen Jianye responded directly.

"You're right. That's what I'm worried about. I'm afraid that if something breaks down, it won't be repaired in time."

"This line was provided with technical support by the project team; you know it best."

Zhang Dangfeng looked troubled.

"In that case, we'll spend two days training the workshop's technicians, and you can arrange for a few people to learn alongside them."

"For the next two weeks, I will leave two people on the production line to provide technical support for maintenance."

"Half a month should be enough time for Workshop 3 to independently operate the production line."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Jianye offered a compromise.

He led his men to evacuate directly, which was procedurally sound, but Zhang Dangfeng could not accept it.

They're colleagues. Zhang Dangfeng provided a lot of support to the project team when the cables were being laid, so Chen Jianye can't do something like kicking someone when they've served their purpose.

We'll be working together again in the future.

"That's great, Chief Engineer Chen, we'll do it your way."

"Two days to hand over the work and two weeks to buffer it, I feel at ease."

Zhang Dangfeng readily agreed.

For him, this was already a very good solution.

He also understood that Chen Jianye was currently very popular at the steel rolling mill, and the fact that he was willing to discuss things with him before leaving with his project team was already a great concession.

Not to mention leaving two technicians to watch over the production line.

Zhang Dangfeng was satisfied.
