"Contact my mother for me." Huang Xuan slowly followed the new workers, the strong smell of sweat and body odor flying in the air. The sky is full of men's hormones. Like most factories in this period, newly recruited workers did not need to go through cumbersome procedures. The first thing they did was work, so that the bosses could have enough time to exploit them.
Lorraine did not discuss the issue of energy loss this time. In fact, his judgment was limited to data such as loss.
The connection between the planes is slightly delayed. As a propagation medium for sound waves, pure energy fluctuations consume more energy. In order to avoid the situation where there is no number again, Lorraine tied the communication link to Huang Xuan's mobile phone. Layer switching requires more energy.
After waiting for about two minutes, Zhang Xinyi's voice came over, a little sleepy: "Son, you went out so early? Where are you?"
Judging from the energy screen given by Lorraine, it should be just 6 o'clock now. Huang Xuan stuck out his tongue and said: "Mom, I am out of Nanjing now and I have encountered some problems. I want your help."
"Left Nanjing?" Zhang Xinyi sat up suddenly and woke up Huang Qunsheng next to her. She pulled the quilt and said: "How dare this Li Qing take you out at night?"
Huang Xuan carefully followed Thomas and others, saying: "It has nothing to do with him, I sneaked out alone."
"What are you doing?" Zhang Xinyi held the phone and said, "Where are you?"
That's the bad thing about talking to my mom, she always wants to figure things out first. Huang Xuan had no choice but to lie: "It was too late yesterday. I had something to do at the factory on the outskirts of the city. I went over there and came back in no hurry after handling it. That's why I called you."
"Then be careful. I'll ask Li Qing to pick you up. This guy."
It seemed that my mother was going to teach Mr. Li a lesson. Huang Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, don't ask him to come over. I'm going to take care of some things. I was asking you for help, but you changed the subject on purpose."
After making sure that her son was fine, Zhang Xinyi put on her coat and said, "Tell me, what do you want your mother to do?"
"Well, I want to find a few professional mechanical engineers. They should be quick to respond and proficient in business. They should be proficient in mechanical technology from the 1900s to the 1970s. They should also be able to draw pictures and prepare materials."
"You should talk to your dad about this." Zhang Xinyi put the phone on speakerphone and said, "Tell your dad again."
Huang Xuan had no choice but to repeat it again. At this time, the group of people had almost arrived at the workshop. He said anxiously: "My car is about to arrive. That's it. But I have to work full-time for a few days. It must be professional. I pay the salary. You can look for it." , preferably this afternoon.”
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Xinyi asked anxiously.
"I can't tell at the moment." Huang Xuan lowered his head and said, "Mom, after you help me find the person, ask them to prepare the information, find an office location, and then find a few computers with Internet access. I will send the request at any time. Give them the drawings and let them complete it before sending it to me. It will take about a week. Is 1 million US dollars enough?”
"A waste." Zhang Xinyi laughed and said, "Okay, I'll just pay for it. I'll ask the secretary and ask your dad to help you make appointments with some old professors. But you have to be polite and don't talk about money. We’ll just arrange it for you.”
"Thank you, mom." Huang Xuan happily blew a kiss.
While talking, Huang Xuan had already walked into a newly built small factory. Rouge is the largest factory in the world. New factories are being built here almost every day. Even the Great Depression could not stop Henry Ford's desire to expand.
There was no deafening mechanical sound in the workshop, and the environment was much better than that of ordinary workers. Thomas brought the people here, released his hands covering his eyes, and said: "You all listen to James's order, start with the old workers, no. The hard-working guys have to leave, do you understand?”
There was a sparse answer, and Huang Xuanze looked around curiously. There were only a few lathes here. Some people were wearing dirty work clothes, leaning on the table, or doing something near the lathes. Most of the people were over the age of The young people are probably technicians.
Some large drawings were thrown on the black cast iron table. Huang Xuan leaned over to take a look, but was slapped back and said, "Apprentices can't look at these."
The person speaking was none other than James, a man in his 40s with a ring-shaped beard, messy hair combed back, a big nose, and slightly set ears.
Huang Xuan left the table indifferently, turned around and said to Lorraine: "Go and see what those drawings are, and compare them with more advanced technologies."
"Be more advanced."
"Within the 1950s." Huang Xuan avoided everyone's attention and said, "How can you export these drawings?" It is a bit unrealistic to draw them directly. If the workload is larger, Huang Xuan may be worried about muscle soreness. .
Lorraine didn't need to think about it, and said, "Is it okay to directly absorb the toner? As long as there is paper and toner, the output speed is about 0 seconds per square meter."
"That's OK." Huang Xuan returned to the "team" as he spoke, and finally said: "Let's see what Ford's new car is, complete it, and then look for the technology they lack."
"Okay." For Lorraine, it is very simple to find various technical information in P11. It is not difficult to find information in a certain plane, it just consumes a lot of energy. However, if you want to search for a certain aspect of information on a large area, especially a large area search in a non-original plane, it will not only consume a lot of energy, but also be inefficient. After all, Lorraine's search did not involve pressing Enter on the search engine. Different planes may require different search methods, which would make the cost high.
Huang Xuan now asks Lorraine to search only for P101, which is the current plane data. In this era without data information, searching for data is still quite a waste of energy.
In the past day, the energy cost has exceeded one million U.S. dollars. Otherwise, how can we say that time travel is a waste of money? Huang Xuan doesn't care. He is still immersed in the high returns in the past few times.
"Everyone come around." Jens shouted in what he thought was an ordinary voice, but the workers who had long been accustomed to him didn't even raise their heads.
Huang Xuan walked over with his feet raised high. The environment of Rouge was excellent in this era, but the mess in the workshop was still there. The ground was covered with black iron filings and lubricating oil. Huang Xuan had never been to such a place. Very, very uncomfortable.
"You three follow Keqi to draw pictures. He also has to draw 50 parts drawings, which must be completed today." The people James pointed at included Huang Xuan. He looked at the other two and walked over.
Kochi has two big eyes with deep sunken eye sockets. He looks like he is sleep deprived and his wife is at odds. He is disassembling a big guy into parts. The different parts are carefully placed on the table. When he sees the thick With a stack of blank paper, Huang Xuan suddenly felt that it was wrong to pretend to recruit workers.
Computers would not appear for another 14 years, and CAD-assisted drawing was no longer a thing. Copying is even more futile. Judging from the look of Kochi, the parts he obtained may not be parts produced by Ford itself.
Huang Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Lorraine, it's all your responsibility."
We must believe that people's limits can surprise others.
The inhuman Lorraine, combined with the stupid Huang Xuan, created a limit that petrified the Americans present. At this speed, let alone drawing pictures based on the actual object, even if you copy a picture, it has reached the highest speed. In fact, the current speed that Lorraine maintains does not depend on any thinking ability. It is entirely due to Huang Xuan's muscle endurance. After all, he has to continue drawing. Considering the level of pain in Huang Xuan's little arm, Lorraine thinks he has controlled the speed. .
However, the speed of producing a parts diagram in less than 10 minutes still made Kochi's thick lips become thinner. There was even silence all around.
Even the workers operating the machine tools noticed Huang Xuan. The constantly shaking T-square and the pencil dancing in the air all proved that the Asian young man in front of them had abilities they could not imagine.
Ke Qi read the parts drawing drawn by Huang Xuan twice, and there was no mistake. Under normal circumstances, such a thing rarely happened. Even a skilled worker would inevitably have some problems when drawing the drawing based on the actual object. The three-dimensional view defines the human line of sight as parallel projection lines, and then looks directly at the object, and uses the orthographic projection method to draw the outline of the object seen. This is slightly contrary to people's normal consciousness, such as an ellipsoid, Its view is actually a rectangle. Therefore, it is not surprising that when the parts diagram becomes complicated, some minor problems will occur.
Huang Xuan half-squinted his eyes. In everyone's opinion, this Oriental man acted a little unpredictable, but these gentlemen didn't know that this guy was just concentrating with his eyes closed.
After being stunned for a while, Thomas shouted angrily: "Cheer up and move faster."
The workers then withdrew their curious eyes and left Huang Xuan to wave his arms alone.
Luo Qi stared at Huang Xuan with strange eyes, patted his shoulder and said, "The boy is pretty good."
"That's right." Huang Xuan chuckled, but his arms were not affected in any way. If there was something like a TV in this era, it would be even more perfect.
In just half a day, Huang Xuan used Lorraine to conquer the workers. By the afternoon, the story about three punches minus one and beating Thomas violently spread throughout the workshop. It's a pity that in this era, it is not appropriate to use the title of magical oriental, otherwise Huang Xuan would be the first to get this title.
The Rouge factory was Henry Ford's biggest dream. When he was healthy, this was his home base, but after resigning as chairman, his son Edsel Ford was based here. However, Henry still holds the greatest power. Under normal circumstances, Edsel needs to ask Henry for instructions.
Of course, Edsel still had the greatest say in day-to-day matters, and Ford's physical condition was no longer suitable for administration.
In the design of the Type A car, Edsel was responsible for the internal design such as the engine structure. Facts have proved that the Type A is a successful model. From the perspective of the new century, this is a combination of the Audi series and the Santana series. Hybrid—cheap, convenient, reasonably good quality. Most of the industrial capitalists in the 1900s had technical backgrounds, just like the computer industry in the 1990s was mostly composed of technical streams. Edsel was also a capitalist who believed in the power of machinery.
After lunch, Huang Xuan continued to draw. At this time, his work was completed. When no one was paying attention, he quietly drew several sketches. One of them was a sketch of the Ford V8 engine, which mainly described its technical specifications. , originally it required hundreds of drawings to describe, but if you just want people to understand, a simple drawing can also explain it.
The second picture is a classic model - the world's first front-wheel drive car, Citroën TA front drive. This model, which was launched in 194, successfully combined the front-wheel drive, chassis-less vehicle structure, and single-wheel drive through torsion bars. Advanced technologies such as wheel shock absorbers and hydraulic braking are integrated and mass produced. Its biggest feature is its reliable performance, especially when chasing and escaping. This vehicle with obvious advantages is known as the "robber car" because of its success.
For Huang Xuan, it doesn't matter what people use the TA front drive for, the key point is whether someone likes it. Although this model is known as a new milestone in the history of automobiles after the Ford Model T, the research and manufacturing of front-wheel drive in the United States has been at a standstill. It was not until 1966, that is, 20 years later, that the Austrian Front-wheel drive devices were first used in cars such as Zombie Tona and Cadillac. While this has to do with its technology and productivity, one must consider that Americans may not really like front-wheel drive until they actually see it.
These drawings are available in P11. Huang Xuan quickly finished the drawings and placed them under a pile of drawings. At this moment, most of the workers' work has not been completed, giving Huang Xuan the opportunity to watch here for a while.
Although workers at the Ford factory did not practice piecework in the 1900s, because of Huang Xuan's speed and the fact that he completed tasks far beyond others, Keqi was embarrassed to let him work anymore and simply let him wander around the workshop.
During this period, the development of mechanical technology was about to reach its peak, and the progress of precision machinery was also obvious to all. The Rouge factory pioneered assembly line operations. On the other hand, the so-called experts and scholars praised its real-time system even more. It is only in its infancy, but it has also greatly improved productivity and reduced costs.
However, Huang Xuan could no longer see these things in the independent workshop where he worked. He could only listen to Lorraine's explanation while imagining what this industrial base of 100,000 acres would look like. In China nearly a hundred years later, such a large The area is enough to cover several industrial parks.
Standing behind a worker and paying attention to him using the machine tool, someone suddenly shouted: "The BOSS is coming." Everyone on the scene suddenly became busy.
Huang Xuan is quite good at pretending. His current situation is very similar to that of self-study in school. Someone shouted "Here comes the class teacher", and everyone naturally worked hard and studied for the rise of China.
Edsel was neatly dressed, his eyes were sharp and decisive, his steps were solid and powerful, and he had the aura of a superior. However, Huang Xuan knew that in a few years, he would die in an accident, causing the entire Ford to fall into management chaos. Among them, this is also a major reason why Ford lags behind General Motors and other groups today. During World War II, the largest war in the world, Ford faced daily losses due to its own business problems. This even aroused the attention of Roosevelt. He was worried Ford's operating conditions will affect equipment production.
As usual, Edsel spoke to a few supervisors and then walked around the shop, listening to what the workers had to say and trying to solve or remember as many problems as he could. This usually takes 0 minutes. After doing this, Ford can continue the next trip with confidence, and its closeness can be compared with the presidential campaign.
However, when he walked near Huang Xuan, the man pulled out the V8 engine diagram from the drawings, laid it out on the table, and said to Edsel: "Mr. Ford, maybe you are interested in taking a look at these. "
Rocky glared with a bad expression and explained to the curious Edsel: "Well, this is the new apprentice we hired today. His drawings are pretty good."
Ford walked over with a smile. He wanted to ask Huang Xuan a few words, but after taking a look, he forgot to speak.
Due to the hasty transition from Model T to Model A, Ford, which incurred huge losses, began to develop new models very early. By this time, V8 should have a certain foundation, but the engine diagram drawn by Huang Xuan was completely the final version of V8. Even Edsel himself did not know that the engine would eventually be designed like this.
"Did you draw it?" The picture Huang Xuan took out was very simple. However, although the sparrow was small, it had all the internal organs. Edsel, who had a technical background, had already seen the mystery and spoke with some hope.
"That's right, my complete drawings, guaranteed to be usable."
"Where?" Edsel had completely lost interest in continuing his patrol at this time.
Huang Xuan shook his head and said, "I'm going to sell it, are you interested?"
"Oh?" Edsel finally entered the state of a capitalist at this moment, while Huang Xuan took out his pen and made two more sketches under Lorraine's operation.
This time, it’s part of the V8’s exterior design.
Edsel quickly put away his surprise at Huang Xuan's drawing speed, because in his opinion, the drawing in front of him could be turned into countless banknotes. This is almost a model tailor-made for Ford - of course, it was originally designed by Ford itself. He stared at Huang Xuan for a minute, not noticing any trace of panic, so he said, "Can we talk? Alone."
"Of course." Huang Xuan originally wanted to talk to Ford.
It has to be said that this trip went quite smoothly. Without a little bit of luck, Huang Xuan would have had to go through a lot of trouble if he wanted to meet Ford or some other big shot. In that case, within the limited time, he could There is too little to do. This is exactly what Lorraine said. Selling technology is of course a very profitable thing, but the time it takes is often too slow to sell directly. In the first century, it took two years. It was rare, but for Huang Xuan, it was definitely a race against time. (To be continued)
