"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

On the latest steel performance testing machine, one bolt after another had broken before reaching the data Jingmu hoped to see.

This made Jing Mu's face look a little ugly.

Lao Hansan, who was standing beside him, also stood there without saying a word.

"Our steam locomotives are too heavy. Using the current combination of wheel hubs and tires, the performance requirements for the hub bolts are too high.

Only ultra-high strength bolts can meet this demand, but in Datang today, there is obviously no workshop that produces bolts that can meet this requirement."

Liu Zhiyuan, who was in charge of bolt testing, looked at Jingmu and Lao Hansan next to him and said softly.

As Jingmu’s most capable assistant, Liu Zhiyuan’s technical level is still very superb.

"There are still a few samples here, so just try them all."

Although Jingmu no longer had any confidence in this result, he was still unwilling to give up like this.

"Bang!"

According to Jing Mu's instructions, Liu Zhiyuan continued to place a bolt on the test equipment.

But just after pressing for a while, the bolt broke.

"Bang!"

The following few are no exception.

Wait until he picked up the last pack of bolts from the corner of the box.

"This pack of bolts was sent by Changan Seiko at the back, saying that it was different from the bolts we bought from them before."

While Liu Zhiyuan looked through the information recorded on the label, he installed the bolts on the equipment.

"Didn't Changan Precision before claiming to be the most professional bolt and nut workshop in Datang? Their stocks have also performed well in recent years.

Although it has fallen a bit recently, it is also considered a stock that has attracted everyone's attention in the Datang Stock Exchange.

If the bolts they sent specially cannot meet our requirements, then we may really have to consider adjusting our steam locomotive design plan."

Jingmu naturally knew Chang'an precision craftsmanship.

Seeing that there were only samples left for this pack of samples that had not been tested, he also hoped that a miracle would be born.

“Huh?”

As soon as Jing Mu finished speaking, Liu Zhiyuan was already starting the test.

However, before the first stage of pressure was reached, the bolt did not break.

"Press down and see how far it will break."

At this time, Jingmu also discovered that the bolt was different.

"Shopkeeper Lao, Shopkeeper Jing, this is different from the toughness and strength of the bolts from other things. I plan to try its ultimate performance."

After Liu Zhiyuan finished speaking, he began to adjust the parameters of the steam engine experimental equipment without waiting for the two big bosses to agree.

Fortunately, the experiment itself is very simple. Liu Zhiyuan has already readjusted the equipment in just a few minutes.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!"

As the pressure increases, the bolts on the equipment make a harsh sound.

However, for Jing Mu and Liu Zhiyuan, this sound is more pleasant than anything else.

"Bang!"

In the end, the bolt refreshed their understanding again and again before completing their mission.

"This intensity is already 30% higher than what we estimate. Manager Jing, I suggest using this pack of bolts to directly confirm the actual car."

Liu Zhiyuan confirmed that the single product experiment of this bolt had been passed, and immediately couldn't wait to conduct the experiment on the actual car.

Once the experiment is passed, the steam locomotive can officially start mass production.

The people in the workshop don’t have to bear such great pressure.

"You don't have to look at me, everything is up to your arrangement."

Lao Hansan saw Jing Mu looking at him and waved his hand casually.

"Then put it on the steam locomotive and see if it will break if it runs for three days and three nights."

Jing Mu took a deep breath and was full of confidence in the next experiment.

...

"Langjun, I just got the news that the steam locomotive workshop of the Laoniu Transportation Team is already arranging formal production.

It is said that the first batch of Jingmu was prepared to produce twenty cars, and then they found a shop in the workshop city and opened a steam locomotive shop."

When the carriage in the city was in charge, Wei Bao reported the latest news he had found when he saw Wei Siren.

"Didn't they say that their experiments failed one after another? Why are they suddenly preparing for mass production now?"

The Wei family also arranged for people to study steam locomotives, so they were very concerned about the movements of Jingmu and his group.

"Yes, they had changed into rubber tires aggressively before, but they frequently had problems due to the problem of hub bolts.

I just heard a news that after using the special bolts made by Changan Precision, they have solved the problem of insufficient bolt strength, so they dare to start mass production now."

Although the craftsmen of this era are very loyal, as long as you give them money in place, there is still a way to find out some not-so-sensitive information.

Obviously, Wei Bao has his own eyeliner around Jingmu.

"Have Changan Seiko's bolt production technology made breakthroughs?"

"It should be like this. I heard that Changan Seiko built several small blast furnaces themselves to smel special steel to make bolts and nuts in order to have better special steel.

I guess they should have achieved some results in this regard, otherwise they would not be able to meet the harsh requirements of Jingmu.”

Wei Bao is now a little worried about his own steam locomotive project.

Originally, it was behind when it started, but now they have already mass-produced it, but even the prototype car has not been removed from the line.

"According to what you said, now should be a good time to buy Changan Precision Stock."

"ah?"

Obviously, Wei Siren's words were a bit beyond Wei Bao's expectations.

What I have been discussing about steam locomotives just now, why did I suddenly jump to the stock trading of Datang Stock Exchange?

"You first arrange someone to go to Chang'an Precision to buy a batch of their newly produced bolts in the future. I'll go to Datang Stock Exchange to check it out."

Wei Siren was too lazy to explain too much to Wei Bao.

For the stock market, information is money.

In particular, the newly published eight regulations of the Datang Stock Exchange have made a series of regulations on the disclosure of stock information in each workshop.

The space for Wei Siren to operate in advance has become very limited.

"Then... I'll go to Chang'an Precision to see if I can discuss further cooperation with them on bolts and nuts.

Anyway, our four-wheeled carriages and rickshaws also require bolts and nuts."

Seeing that his husband was not interested in talking to him again, Wei Bao had to suppress his thoughts and wait until the next time to report it.
Chapter completed!
