Chapter 4 King Sledgehammer
The car model has been decided. Although Lin Xiangrong still has some small knots in his heart, he is still a little happy and proud of the car designed by his son.
With the encouragement and motivation of the two factory leaders, all the workers and masters of the auto repair shop immediately enthusiastically invested in the manufacturing of the new car!
Car repair masters can also build cars?!
When outsiders hear this, they might think it’s a joke. But don’t really think that the current car repair masters can only dismantle and install parts.
Because in 1977, it was not popular to return the factory to repair the car. The use of auto parts is also following the ideological tradition of repairing and repairing for another three years.
So the things that can be solved in the repair shop are solved here, including the manufacturing of some parts. Therefore, Jiang'an Auto Repair Factory also has a very small parts processing workshop.
Car repair masters are not just car repairs, there may be powerful fitters and turning workers here.
"Xiaolin, call your son in, don't let him wander outside. Johnson and Johnson are a talent who can design cars!" Chang Yuanting said to Lin Xiangrong in the sheet metal workshop.
"Yes, call Johnson and Johnson over. Look at the car shell and give some advice when the sheet metal." Zheng Yongmin also said.
"Oh, okay, I'll call you now." Lin Xiangrong had no choice but to go to find his son in a bad mood.
Five or six days have passed, and Lin Johnson has adapted to his life after he comes back and has become a teenager happily.
The masters have been busy in the workshop these days. He relied on his own skills and obviously became a big shot in the yard. Usually, there is something wrong with the cars coming. As soon as he gets started, he can tell what is wrong with the sound.
At this time, Lin Qiang-sheng was standing next to a parking space, directing everyone to repair a green old liberation vehicle.
"Johnson and Johnson, the director of the factory director asked you to come over." Lin Xiangrong walked over and said in a low voice.
"Oh, here we come." Lin Qiangsheng held up a hat and walked behind his father.
"Johnson, go build a car?" Gu Hongliang shouted.
"I don't know either." Lin Johnson turned around and said.
"Oh, this kid suddenly shook a few days later! He can repair cars and draw pictures, why haven't he heard that he is so awesome before?!" An apprentice sighed in the crowd.
"Tsk, show it!" Gu Hongliang said enviously.
Chen Bing jumped out of the car, put the board in his hand into the tool box, grabbed the snow and rubbed his hands, and then walked towards the sheet metal workshop.
Gu Hongliang glanced at Chen Bing's back, squirted, and just muttered in his mouth: "So what if you know how to draw pictures? After all, I can repair cars without me!"
"Jiang and Johnson can repair cars!" Zou Xue said dissatisfiedly from the side.
"Why, you fell in love with him? Why don't I introduce it to you?" Gu Hongliang laughed after saying that.
"Go to you." Zou Xue turned her head and walked to the side with a red face.
"Uncle Chang, Uncle Zheng." Lin Johnson walked into the meeting room of the sheet metal workshop and shouted to the two leaders.
He was just 14 years old, so it wasn't that true to calling the two factory directors and directors. So he just called them uncles.
"Hey, Johnson, please help me see the shape of this car. This is your Uncle Wang Daming, who is responsible for the sheet metal. You can talk to him." Chang Yuanting said with a smile.
Lin Qiangsheng looked at a middle-aged master who had just stood up. This was Master Wang Daming.
He shouted, "Uncle Wang."
Master Wang was wearing a blue work clothes, with a few patches on his clothes, and the sewed was very clean.
He smiled and stepped forward to pat Lin Johnson, saying, "Okay, good boy! When uncle is working on the sheet metal, you can watch it from the side."
Wang Daming had a little back on his ears, so he spoke loudly. Lin Qiangsheng's ears were thorny and itchy. He quickly said loudly: "Uncle Wang, just watch it, I'll give me some instructions next to me."
Seeing that Lin Johnson was so polite, Wang Daming smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, uncle is here to see you."
There are three masters in the sheet metal workshop and more than twenty apprentices. We all picked an open place together and started knocking on the steel plate.
Wang Daming and his masters clamped the steel plate with tools, and then their apprentices went up to hold the tool and pressed it hard.
Lin Qiangsheng looked at his father, and the factory director was around. He had no nerve to retreat, so he had to cover his ears with both hands and close his mouth tightly.
Wang Daming held the huge hammer, cheered up, and shouted: "Hi!!!"
"duang..." The raised hammer hit the steel plate, making a loud noise, repeatedly vibrating in the workshop, and the long echoes were heard!
"Haha, okay! What a Wang Daehou! Yes, I just need this power!" Zheng Yongmin laughed loudly.
"This Wang Daming will call Wang Dachu from now on. This sound is so powerful!" Chang Yuanting took out his ears and said loudly.
Lin Johnson watched Wang Daming move the hammer again and quickly covered his ears tightly. He didn't care what others were saying. The most important thing is not to shake your ears out of trouble!
"duang,duang,duang..." The knocking sound continued. Wang Daming carried the hammer and smashed the steel plate hard against the help of everyone.
The two factory leaders finally couldn't stand it anymore and voluntarily withdrew from the workshop.
"Johnson, how about it?" Wang Daming shouted to Johnson Lin.
Lin Johnson quickly put down his hand and walked to the sheet metal to take a look.
Wang Daming touched the bend of the steel plate and said loudly: "Do you think it's OK to fold it like this?"
Lin Johnson nodded and said, "Okay, it's great! That's it."
Wang Daming laughed loudly and said, "Fortunately, the model you drew has no arc! If it had curves, it would be a long time to work! Your car is so good, it's easy to get around with edges!"
Lin Johnson nodded and said loudly: "Yes! Master Wang is still powerful!"
Wang Daming laughed a few times, waited to change the steel plate to the other side, and raised the sledgehammer again.
Lin Johnson quickly ran aside. He couldn't stand it in front of the steel plate. It was so exciting!
Wang Daming was very happy to knock and felt quite easy.
Lin Qiang-Cheng-Cheng used to think that the Jetta model is square and too short of a skill.
Later I realized that this is an ultimate simplicity beauty that mechanical technology has developed to a certain level.
Why did the Chinese people insist on Jetta for 30 years and even hailed it as a magic car? When many new cars were launched on the market in the 21st century, Jetta still flourished, insisting on selling prices of more than 100,000 yuan and not reducing prices.
Lin Johnson felt that it was because of Jetta's square appearance and its simplicity and beauty.
Chinese people have too many sleekness, too many troubles and too many relationships in their lives. Often, people have a place in their hearts, pursuing simplicity, pursuing squareness, not luxury, as long as it is simple. It just so happens that this is Jetta, which meets people's psychological needs.
It can be said that Jetta, which has no reputation abroad, was born for the Chinese.
The square shape is really easy to knock. Wang Daming smashed the sheet metal parts into the shape of a big opening and closing, and he didn't have to worry about any curvature. He simply smashed the sheet metal parts into the shape they needed.
"Happy! This is really exciting! It's been a long time since it's been so smooth!" Wang Daming laughed and put the hammer on the ground, then looked at his masterpiece repeatedly with joy.
"Master Wang, this car looks like this." Lin Qiangsheng came over and said.
"Okay, let go of the sheet metal." Wang Daming nodded with satisfaction and said to everyone with a smile.
Everyone took off the clamp, and the sheet metal made a clicking sound.
Lin Johnson looked at the shape of the piece and felt that there was no problem, so he nodded.
This is the front hood, including the fenders. Now they are still a whole and will be separated after being cut.
When I was building a car sample in the country, I could only knock it out like this now. The masters used iron hammers and wooden hammers to hit it manually.
Dongfeng, Hongqi, Jeep 212, and Shanghai brand sedan prototypes are all knocked out like this. There are no such conditions now, such as oil sludge model cars and alloy cutting model cars.
Therefore, the work of sheet metal masters is a very important part.
Lin Qiangsheng stayed in the sheet metal workshop for two months and knocked on the car sample with the sheet metal masters. Fortunately, the sledgehammer did not take too long to smash the sheet metal, and the more time it was to use a small hammer to slowly knock on the body of the car.
Two months later, Jetta's shell was finally knocked out bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit.
This not only made Lin Johnson feel the benefits of having too many people and having great power. At least in this way, the craft requirements will become very simple.
"Master Wang, my dad said that the car can get on the car tomorrow." Lin Johnson said to Wang Daming with a smile.
"Well, it's good to get on the car! It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip it. The shells of our car are so well built and so fast, and it will definitely be exciting to install them! I'm happy!" Wang Daming said with a loud laugh.
Lin Johnson also felt a sincere satisfaction when he looked at his masterpiece for two months.
The car shell was placed on an iron rack while everyone was watching. Its current appearance is still very ugly, unpainted, and the surface of the steel plate exudes a black metallic luster.
Lin Qiang-Cheng-Cheng thinks that this is caused by the incorrect formulation of the steel plate metal used. This will take place in the future, and better automotive boards will be developed.
Lin Xiangrong walked into the sheet metal workshop, turned around the car shell, and happily patted the metal surface.
"Dad, how are you doing? How are you doing with the chassis?" Lin Johnson asked his father.
The chassis of this car was modified from the chassis of Shanghai brand sedans, and it was only temporary to check the effect. In the future, it would have to be continuously improved to create a truly suitable sedan chassis.
"Well, the chassis is almost done. The rest is to debug after driving. You can load the car tomorrow, and the instrument interior is also done. You can use it first. It's not that the seats are a bit difficult to deal with. The seats you designed are not easy to work with." Lin Xiangrong said.
