At the same time that XCMG received the task of WK-75 and building construction machines, on the other hand, China Construction Group also began to sort out the project plan.

Compared with XCMG, China Construction has a heavier task. They are not only responsible for the shield machine, but also the bridge erecting machine. China Construction is also involved in the gantry crane where Sany is mainly responsible.

Of course, this is a decision made after fully considering the size and resources of the three major companies. Although it may seem unreasonable, it is a choice that maximizes efficiency.

At the same time, numerous subsidiaries and suppliers attached to several companies including Sany, XCMG and China Construction also began to operate and prepare for this giant project.

Materials and resources are prioritized and work hours are planned in hours.

Most fringe companies don’t know what they are going to do. They only know that something big is going to happen.

If you can seize this opportunity, then your company can follow those giants and rise to heaven.

Guizhou.

In Changshun County Sanyang Machinery Factory, Wang Qing followed Wang Limin, a staff member from the county party committee office, into the factory director's office.

The purpose of their visit this time was simple. They wanted to see whether Sanyang Factory had the ability to provide machinery and equipment that could support the road construction project in Luojiao Village.

In fact, this is not the first time Wang Qing has come.

The first two times, he didn't see the factory director. This time, he was smart and directly brought the receptionist from the county party committee office with him.

Sure enough, the effect was immediate.

The director, who was either in a meeting or patrolling the factory area, walked directly to the door of the factory to greet him.

And after seeing Wang Qing, his attitude was extremely enthusiastic.

"Welcome, welcome again. Let's have a sip of tea first. Let's sit down and chat slowly."

Wang Qing politely took the tea handed over by the factory director, and then placed it on the coffee table aside.

"Director Liu, I really don't want to embarrass you when I come here this time, but we really have no choice."

"In our county, you are the only manufacturer capable of producing machinery. I have searched and searched, but I can only find your head."

After hearing Wang Qing's words, factory director Liu Maocai sighed helplessly.

He first glanced at Wang Limin sitting aside, and after thinking for a long time, he said:

"Village Chief Wang, actually, my secretary also reported this to me."

"I didn't meet him twice before. It's really because I was busy with work."

"But I didn't take the initiative to contact you after that. That was my subjective wish."

"The secretary made it clear to me about your purpose and ideas."

"You just want to see if we can improve on the existing excavator equipment and provide one or two small excavators to Luojiao Village for road construction, right?"

Wang Qing nodded and replied:

"Yes. I have examined various products before, but after searching around, I haven't found any suitable products that can be used in mountainous terrain."

“Either it’s too expensive and we can’t even afford the rent, or it’s too big to go up the mountain.”

"After much thought, the eight-claw small excavator that Sanyang Factory built a few years ago is the most suitable."

"So, I came to find you."

Hearing Wang Qing's words, Liu Maocai couldn't help but frown. He turned to Wang Limin aside and said:

"Wang Ke, you see, this matter is very clear."

"It's not that I don't cooperate with the county's work, but I know that we are now fighting a tough battle to get rid of poverty and become rich. I also know that as long as the road in Luojiao Village can be built, it will be a major achievement."

"But the question is, tell me yourself, is this request reasonable?"

"Our Sanyang factory is just a small factory. The small excavators we produce are basically old technologies and old craftsmanship."

"To put it bluntly, they are all leftovers from people's entertainment more than ten years ago. We picked them up and ate some of the bones and dregs left over from big companies."

"It's not easy to maintain a break-even position."

"Now, we are asked to develop new products, such as an eight-claw excavator. Do you think it is reasonable?"

"Don't talk about us. We are the largest factories in the country, Sany and Xugong. If you go to them to do it, can they do it for you?"

Wang Limin nodded silently.

In fact, from the moment he agreed to Wang Qing's trip with him, he never really had any hope for this matter.

Because he knew that this matter could not be pushed forward by his own words, or even by the county's words.

If you want to develop new products, you need R&D funds, new production lines, and scientific researchers.

But does Sanyang Machinery Factory have these things?

Obviously, no.

Since it doesn't exist, there's no way to force it.

So, he just came to try his luck.

In other words, he wanted to take this opportunity to make Wang Qing give up.

However, Wang Qing on the other side didn't seem to think so.

He thought for a moment and then asked:

"Director Liu, I want to ask, why did you suddenly stop building the eight-claw excavator?"

Liu Maocai couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and he answered:

"That thing is not a mature product in the first place, it is just something temporarily assembled in our factory according to our own needs."

"As you can see, we built two of them at the beginning, but now they have all been dismantled and left there. No one wants them for scrap metal."

"There is no way. There are too few application scenarios for this thing. The market is so small that it can't be sold at all."

"In addition, the technical level of our own factory is poor, and the products we make are not easy to use. Even if someone wants it, they will still have to return it in the end."

"Then tell me, why did we create him?"

"So, if the technology can keep up, you can actually build it?"

Wang Qing keenly grasped the key point and interjected.

"Of course we can make it if we have the technology. Not just us, anyone can make it."

"But the question is, do we have the technology?"

"Now that we have the Internet, you can go online and take a look. These eight-claw excavators are all patented products."

"Foreigners can make it, Hitachi can make it, Caterpillar can make it, but will they give it to us?"

"We can only watch, Village Chief Wang, I advise you, really don't even think about it."

"Instead of building this kind of excavator, you might as well spend money to hire more people. As long as there are enough people, we can open the road."

Wang Qing shook his head sadly and replied:

"The problem is not the people, the problem is that we can't recruit people."

"The section at Wayaotou is too dangerous. If there is no mechanical equipment and just relying on people to fill it, accidents can easily occur."

"Just two days ago, two people in our village were hit by stones and had their legs broken. They are still lying in the county hospital."

"Then there's no way."

Liu Maocai spread his hands and continued:

"If you can figure out the technology, I will help you think of a way to see if it can be built."

"Otherwise, really, don't embarrass us."

"What you want is not the same concept as what we created before. It's really not that simple."

"What kind of technical problem is that?"

"Hydraulics, bearings, electronic controls. Even if I tell you, you don't understand."

Liu Maocai waved his hand impatiently, and then drank tea by himself.

This gesture is undoubtedly to see off guests.

Wang Qing stood up knowingly and showed an apologetic smile to Wang Limin on the side.

Afterwards, the two said goodbye to Liu Maocai and walked out of Sanyang Machinery Factory.

On the roadside outside the factory, the two of them chatted for a while while waiting for the bus.

"Ah Qing, this time I have really done my best to be kind and righteous."

"It's not just me, the county has really thought of a solution."

"However, there is no way. There is no way to solve the problem that our entire country has not solved. How can it be so easy if you want to solve it?"

Wang Qing lowered his eyes, repeatedly thinking about the three words Liu Maocai mentioned just now.

Hydraulic, bearings, electronic control.

Can you solve these problems and build the kind of excavator you want?

For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little lost.

He didn't react until Wang Limin called his name again.

"What are you thinking about? So obsessed?"

Wang Qing breathed a long sigh of relief and replied:

"I'm wondering if there is any way to help Sanyang Factory solve this technical problem."

After hearing his answer, Wang Limin said with laughter and laughter:

"If only you were really that capable!"

"If you really solve the technical problem and help Sanyang Factory create a new product, I will publicize it to you not only in the county but also in the city!"

"But the question is, how do you solve this kind of problem?"

"You are a student of literature, not theory. Could it be that you still draw pictures and do research by yourself?"

Wang Qing shook his head and replied:

"I definitely can't do it myself"

"But isn't Jiancheng studying at NPU?"

"I heard that he studied very well there and also participated in the school's scientific research project."

"What if you ask him? He might have a solution."

"Stop making trouble now."

Wang Limin interrupted him and then poured cold water on him.

"The one I studied at Jiancheng University is for aviation, I know that."

"A guy who builds airplanes, you ask him to build an excavator? Are you kidding me?"

"Then you have to give it a try."

Wang Qing raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance with fascination.

At this moment, he felt powerless in his heart.

He also knew that what Wang Limin said was right.

No matter how outstanding Wang Jiancheng is, the major he studied is completely inconsistent with the problem he wants to solve.

As a college student myself, I actually know this very well.

However, somewhere in the dark, he had some kind of premonition.

In other words, some kind of expectation.

What if?

What if he really has a way?

You have to give it a try. After all, this can be said to be the only hope for Luojiao Village.

It is too difficult to rely on human power to open a road.

This time someone was injured, what about next time?

If a human life is lost, the task of building roads will no longer be possible.

An hour later, Wang Jiancheng, who was far away at NPU, received a call from Wang Qing.

On the phone, Wang Qing described to him the difficulties in building roads in Luojiao Village, and at the same time expressed his own thoughts.

This idea surprised Wang Jiancheng.

"Why not rent a mature product? Can't you transfer it?"

Wang Qing on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment and replied:

"You can't find such a product in China."

"If you want to buy it, you have to import it from abroad. We really can't afford the money."

"However, if the Sanyang factory can build it, we can make do with it. If our village raises its own funds, and with a little support from the county, we can barely do it."

"Understood."

Wang Jiancheng nodded subconsciously.

In fact, he knew the village where he was born very well.

Although he moved to the county town after elementary school, every year when he went home to worship his ancestors, the steep mountain road and the poor and backward small village at the end of the mountain road still deepened his understanding of the place. memory.

He had also thought about changing everything there, but he always felt that he was not capable enough.

Now, Wang Qing has done something he has never done before. Perhaps, he should do his part.

Thinking of this, he said:

"Then let me help you think of a solution."

"I can't guarantee that it will happen, so don't have too much hope."

"Okay, just ask for me!"

Wang Qing on the other side of the phone obviously ignored the last sentence, and his tone also changed.

Wang Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, but in the end he said no more depressing words.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Jiancheng fell into deep thought.

Who is this thing looking for?

It seems that none of my classmates or teachers around me are doing research in this area.

Except Qiomai.

She seemed to still have some connection.

But, can she understand?

Otherwise, you should ask Li Xiang for help.

Although he is not very good professionally, he has an astonishingly wide network of contacts. Even if he can't help himself, he should be able to find someone who can.

Thinking of this, Wang Jiancheng immediately called Li Xiang.

After Li Xiang heard his question, he gave the answer almost without thinking.

"It's right for you to ask Qiu Mai for this matter."

"She just recently participated in a construction machinery project and has some resources in this area."

"If the project progresses smoothly, I might be able to help you solve the problem."

"However, my personal suggestion is that when you find Qiu Mai, call Chen Nian."

"Senior? Why are you looking for him?"

Wang Jiancheng asked doubtfully.

In his opinion, the field that Chen Nian studies has nothing to do with excavators. Asking him for help would be inappropriate.

However, Li Xiang did not answer his question directly, but said ambiguously:

"To solve problems, you need to find smart people."

"Among us, Chen Nian is obviously the smartest one."

"If you believe me, go find him."

“If it really can’t be solved, then think of other solutions.”

"Understood."

Wang Jiancheng nodded solemnly.

After thanking Li Xiang, he called Qiu Mai and Chen Nian respectively.

Chen Nian's first reaction after receiving the call was not surprise, but surprise.

Damn it, have township and village enterprises begun to generate endogenous power for technological innovation?

This is not just an eight-claw-or a new product for all-terrain excavators.

This means that the impact of rapid technology iteration has gradually sunk to the underlying areas.

Once the scale is established, the development of domestic technology will be healthier in the future.

Therefore, he really has to help make this "demonstration project"
