Previously, people from the R&D team asked Yang Xiaotao what kind of tractor they wanted to design.

Yang Xiaotao never gave an answer.

Now it's time to announce it.

In the office area of ​​the R&D Department, Chen Bin and others were also thinking about what kind of tractor to make. After all, the power of the steam engine is not small, so it should be possible to make one like the one in the north.

It's just that Yang Xiaotao has never been sure, so they can only worry blindly.

Today, Yang Xiaotao is going to come up with his own design plan, which makes everyone look forward to it.

9 a.m., R&D Department.

Yang Xiaotao stood in front, with a template behind him and several pieces of chalk beside him.

Next, the three teams from the R&D Department are all here, with Chen Bin, Liu Daming and Wang Hao at the front.

As for the only member of the logistics team, Lou Xiaoe stood aside guarding the thermos bottle.

Everyone below had pens and papers in their hands, even the security team members.

They need to write down the key points of the meeting and be able to distinguish which ones are of great value and which ones need to be protected.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, they won't even be able to tell which drawing is important, and they won't be able to save it!

As for the R&D team and the technical team, their expressions are even more serious, as this is related to their success or failure.

Yang Xiaotao stood in front and began to draw pictures on the wooden board.

What he drew was a general appearance. As for the specific drawings, he would explain the requirements and require the joint efforts of the people below.

He could do it alone, but it would be a waste of time.

Together they work together, and when the time comes to integrate them, the credits will still be his.

After a while, the door opened and Yang Youning and Xu Yuanshan walked in and sat aside.

They heard the news that Yang Xiaotao was going to come up with a plan today, and they wanted to come over and see what the first tractor of this steel rolling mill looked like.

If it's too ugly, that won't work.

After staring at the wooden board for a while, the two of them saw that it was similar to the walking tractor imported back then, except that some places had been modified.

After Yang Xiaotao finished drawing, he nodded to the two of them, and then wrote the words "walking tractor" on the side.

"Comrades, this is what our R&D Department is going to do, a 'walking tractor'!"

With that said, Lou Xiao'e stepped forward and handed the two drawings to Liu Yifei and Chen Bin.

"The 'walking tractor' I designed must have the following advantages."

"First, it has sufficient power and is easy to operate. It can tow the truck body, install agricultural tools, carry cargo, and cultivate..."

"Second, save materials and save costs."

“Third, it’s easy to disassemble and repair.”

As Yang Xiaotao explained, the people below began to record some specific parameters and calculate them after the meeting ended.

Liu Yifei and the others looked at the drawings and were thinking about how to turn the parts on the drawings into reality.

"Of course, this is just a preliminary design. There will definitely be various deficiencies in it, and this requires us to continue to improve."

"What is sent to you is an incomplete design drawing. The main requirements have been determined. The transmission system, balancing mechanism and other aspects are not perfect. This is also the goal of everyone's work in the next time."

"Using existing domestic designs and foreign designs to make what we need."

Yang Xiaotao continued to arrange tasks for everyone, and Chen Bin below felt a lot of pressure.

One week is a bit tight.

After the meeting was over, everyone began to take action.

Liu Yifei took the finalized drawings and went to a workshop to start manufacturing.

Chen Bin took people to check the information. When the time comes, the data will need to be modified and whether it is suitable or not will be measured.

Finally, Yang Youning and Xu Yuanshan called out Yang Xiaotao.

"It's been almost a month, and the tractor hasn't been implemented yet. I think you shouldn't be impatient. Take your time and be sure to be steady."

Yang Youning was worried that Yang Xiaotao's eagerness for success would cause losses and even damage the morale of the military.

The same is true for Xu Yuanshan.

The meeting just now was basically Yang Xiaotao's talk. The other people in the R&D department were more like part-time workers, working under Yang Xiaotao's guidance.

Without democratic discussion and collision of ideas, how can there be a spark of miracle?

This seems sloppy no matter how you look at it.

But they had no other choice. When they first started this project, the only person they relied on was Yang Xiaotao.

If engineer Yang Xiaotao can't do it, the steel rolling mill won't be able to find anyone else.

Therefore, even though they thought Yang Xiaotao was a bit arbitrary, they didn't say anything.

Who can tell them not to understand?

Besides, that walking tractor looks good too.

It's just the name, it's a bit lacking.

"Director, don't worry."

"This machine has been designed, so there must be no problem."

Yang Xiaotao still has confidence. As long as the system gives credits, it means the design is correct.

This is much stronger than any test or calculation.

The reason why the members of the R&D team are asked to do the calculations is to let them know their own abilities and establish their prestige.

"As long as you know what you have in mind. For other things, if you need us, just ask."

Yang Xiaotao nodded and the two left.

Back in the office, Yang Xiaotao picked up the drawings and walked to the workshop.

Arriving at the first workshop, Liu Daming was organizing people to analyze the drawings.

This time I brought the chassis.

As a support for other parts of the tractor, if you want to support the steam engine and other components, the requirements for the chassis are not low.

In particular, the steam engine was very large, twice as large as the later diesel engine plus the water tank, so it was naturally heavier.

To provide stability, the design of the chassis must be strengthened.

Design-wise, the chassis consists of frame, wheels, tires and suspension.

Among them, suspension is the most complex.

"This suspension refers to the structure of Jiangcheng Small Tractor Factory and the adjusted data."

"You should pay attention here..."

Yang Xiaotao explained it to everyone to make it easier for everyone to operate.

While Yang Xiaotao was explaining, not only the members of the technical team were listening, but also many people in the workshop were watching, and even Sun Guo was also joining in the fun.

One workshop now produces two types of steam engines, one for well-drilling machines, and the other is currently being installed on a walking tractor.

One-third of the order for 100 well-drilling machines issued by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has been completed. Once this is done, the next focus will be on tractors.

If you don’t listen carefully now, what will you do next?

And he also heard rumors that the production of this tractor might be separated into a separate workshop 11.

This is no small matter.

The one who is near the water and the tower gets the moon first, so he seizes the opportunity.

After a while, Liu Yifei led his men to start processing. Yang Xiaotao watched from the side and pointed out problems from time to time.

After a busy afternoon, Yang Xiaotao returned to the office, drank some water, and thought about whether he had missed anything.

After Lou Xiao'e got off work, Yang Xiaotao got up and walked to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Qin Huairu can already get out of bed and walk around.

Although it is said to be confinement, how can there be so much time for them these days?

This is still in the city. If you were in the countryside, it would be good to have three to five days of rest when you get busy.

Now, she is satisfied.

Holding the little locust flower, I sat in front of my house and basked in the sun.

On the side, Mrs. Jia Zhang had a smile on her face.

In her heart, as long as Qin Huairu is of the same mind as her.

Of course, it is best to give her some pension money.
