Chapter 145 Is this even a point of contention? Are we just competing to see who's the biggest
Overtime is out of the question, at least not for this heating pack.
No one knows what benefits Li Huaide promised the Ministry of Chemical Industry, but a horse-drawn carriage delivered a small load of PVC bags.
Seeing Wang Kui's malicious smile, Jiang Xia and her friends made an automatic sealing machine.
It's simple. I took two small motors from the air fryer and used them as power sources, modified a tractor belt to be smaller, and hung it on top. I added an electric heating element to the top and bottom, and used a transformer to adjust it to the minimum power.
The remaining mirror-finished gears from a master craftsman were installed at the very front, forming an interlocking structure.
Coincidentally, when the two gears turn once, their 36 teeth press the heated bag opening tightly shut.
Simply put the mixed ingredients into a bag, place the bag on the belt, and it will be sealed in a short time.
Let Wang Kui's underlings pack it themselves; pack as many as they need.
After all, iron powder and sawdust are not high-risk items, and even the sodium acetate next to it is non-toxic and harmless.
If you have acid reflux, drinking some might actually help cure it.
Sodium acetate solution is alkaline! O(n_n)O Haha~
Moreover, steel mills have plenty of iron powder and the like, which are all considered waste by everyone. If you don't mind the hard work, you can fill a warehouse with finished products and no one will say anything.
Seeing Wang Kui's shocked expression, Jiang Xia was in a great mood.
I grabbed a few packs of ready-made heating packs and went to find my cute bangs.
I must not forget what my master told me. Actually, the stovetop version of the pressure cooker should be easier to make than the electric version.
But what can you do when the steel is substandard?
Jiangxia could only thicken the bottom of the pot, and at the same time, as compensation for the reduced heat transfer rate, the weight used to block the steam vent was also increased accordingly.
No, for safety's sake, let's add another safety valve.
It turns out that electric pressure cookers only have one safety valve, which is a fusible disc type.
The principle is that once the jet nozzle becomes blocked and fails, the pressure inside the pot becomes too high, and the temperature rises accordingly. When the temperature reaches the melting point of the fusible link, further heating causes the fusible link to melt, and the gas inside the pot is ejected from the fusible link, reducing the pressure inside the pot and thus preventing an explosion.
What are these fusible metal sheets? They're the famous aluminum alloy.
However, the production volume was too small. This time, the aluminum alloy was just a small amount sent over by the eldest son from Northeast China to show off. The steel mill didn't know what to do with it and had been storing it in the warehouse. This time, it finally came in handy.
If there are many, Jiangxia Gaodi will replace all the cylinder blocks of the "Little Steel Cannon" with this type of aluminum alloy.
I drew a blueprint and then discussed it with Liu Haizhong.
Just then, the mold on the hammer mill hadn't been changed yet. Liu Haizhong, holding the heating pack Jiang Xia had given him, thanked him profusely. He then distributed one to each of his apprentices.
"Section Chief Jiang, don't worry, I can't guarantee more, but I can finish dozens of pot bodies in an afternoon. But what's this bag you gave me for?"
Hearing the somewhat unfamiliar address, Jiang Xia grinned.
Hey, it's not this old man from the courtyard. I almost forgot that I'm also the deputy head of the R&D department.
Although I'm all alone, I suddenly feel like I've grown up!
After explaining the uses to several people in detail, Jiang Xia made a spectacular retreat, leaving behind the words, "New product, keep it a secret!"
There was no other way; the workshop was too hot, and it was too cold outside.
The alternation between hot and cold temperatures is making my weak body feel a bit uncomfortable again.
Remembering the pills the "strategist" had given him, he took two and swallowed them.
Tsk, scanners are great, but they're too harmful to your health.
Should I get up early and go for a run? I can't afford to break down; there are only two photos left on the "photo wall."
Damn, how can you even think about running when you're not even full from eating?
Forget it, let's talk about it in a couple of years.
Having figured things out, Jiang Xia stopped worrying.
I should go and work on a small engine, and install one on my teacher's wife's bicycle so her feet won't hurt when she gets back.
With heavy-duty lathes, the production of small parts, which used to be a hassle, is now a piece of cake!
The lathe is currently on hiatus; we've completed a large batch of cylinder blocks, but we're short on internal parts. We don't dare use the lathe to machine other parts either; its precision is simply too high.
While I have this free time, I'll get the 45cc small gasoline engine out first.
He sniffled, heated up the heating pack, hugged it to his chest, and walked timidly towards the office.
Halfway there, they were blocked by Yang Youning and Li Huaide.
"Xiao Jiang, our pots have passed the approval! The General Office wants us to send over some more!"
Jiang Xia sniffed again: "Shouldn't it be loaded onto the truck along with the tractor after passing the review?"
Yang Youning gestured wildly, saying, "Hey, the kitchen in the lake is so useful, they asked us to send them a batch!"
"Do you know who the commander used your pot to entertain?"
"Hmph, fine, don't tell me then. Come on, sign this!" Jiang Xia was too lazy to argue with him and casually slapped out a project proposal.
The furniture for the new house hasn't been settled yet, so it's more sensible to use some project funds.
As for the person he mentioned, who else could it be? The old leader can only invite a few people, and besides, he has a meeting coming up soon, so he definitely needs to have some exchanges with the top people.
Anyway, it's either braised lion's head meatballs or braised pork, so those two won't send him a photo for that.
Yang Erlengzi's attention was not very focused, and he was easily led astray by Jiang Xia.
"A research proposal for an auxiliary self-powered device for existing bicycles..."
Li Huaide peeked out, remembering what Jiang Xia had been talking about, and winked at Jiang Xia discreetly before being drawn to what Jiang Xia was holding.
As he walked up to Jiang Xia, he casually reached into his pocket, and Jiang Xia suddenly felt his arms go empty; the cloth bag he was holding had somehow ended up in his hands.
"Holy crap, you know that trick too!" Jiang Xia's eyes widened in horror, his gaze shifting back and forth between Li Huaide's palm and his own chest.
"Can pick locks and steal things without a trace? Uncle, where did you used to hang out?"
Li Huaide ignored him and continued to examine the contents of his bag.
Opening the cloth bag, there was only a transparent bag inside containing some dark, gooey stuff.
A cool breeze blew by, and the sudden disappearance of warmth made Jiang Xia shiver. He had no choice but to take out another one, rub it a few times, and hug it to his chest.
"The thing Wang Kui asked me to get, is it used for this?"
Li Huaide was also dressed lightly today, and like Jiang Xia, he hugged a cloth bag, which immediately brought him a sense of warmth.
"Hey, this feels so good, just like a spring flower~~~~ and a hot water bottle!"
Yang Youning coldly sized up the two of them, taking advantage of the moment when he handed the signed project proposal to Jiang Xia.
The last remaining iron powder version of the heating pack in Jiangxia also fell into Yang Youning's arms.
"You ask me to do it? Old Gabadou, do you dare say that again in front of Wang Kui?"
"Hey, who are you trying to scare, you old fool? I haven't caused you any trouble lately, have you gotten too cocky again? My connections are much wider than yours, I can even make a mess of things like sealing rings and still end up with a bump on my head, and you're still yelling at me?"
Perhaps Li Huaide felt he had found an even stronger patron and was no longer afraid of Yang Youning, so he directly retorted.
"Hey! This thing is warm!" Yang Youning hugged the cloth bag, squinting his eyes happily. Wait, no, they were arguing.
"Pah! Tell me, what benefits did you promise this time?"
“What do you mean by ‘granting benefits’! That’s called dealing with ‘defective products’, just two initial-version tractors~” Li Huaide blushed.
"Two tractors aren't enough! Let me tell you, Li Huaide, the cost of these tractors will be deducted from your salary!"
"Hmph! Deduct it! What benefits did you, you idiot, promise others?"
"San Tai! I'm more magnanimous than you!"
"Next time, I'll grant someone five!"
"I have six!"
……
Jiang Xia was speechless. Were you two putting on a stand-up comedy routine for me?
Two robbers!
The Ministry of Chemical Industry smiled without saying a word, saying, "Come on, the more the merrier."
