Chapter 136, Master and Disciple

"Uncle Liu, do you think it's time to conduct a test?"

Jiang Yan patted Director Liu, who was lost in thought while touching the engine.

Jiang Yan's slap completely brought him back to his senses.

He quickly said: "Yes, yes, I want to test it. So, whoever, hurry up and get a barrel of gasoline."

Xu Damao, who was following Jiang Yan, heard Factory Director Liu's words and said, "I'm going to get gasoline." After saying this, he ran out.

Jiang Yan saw that the secretary following Director Liu seemed to be half a beat behind Xu Damao. When he saw Xu Damao running out, he just opened his mouth.

"Here comes the gasoline." Xu Damao trotted over carrying a small bucket of gasoline.

Director Liu took the gasoline from Xu Damao's hand and called Jiang Yan to pour the gasoline into the new engine.

At this time, the workers in the workshop gathered in a circle. After so many workers worked hard overnight, it was finally time to test the results.

Jiang Yan started to start a fire under everyone's gaze.

After the fire was lit, Jiang Yan pressed the accelerator, and as the gears inside rotated, the engine started to start with clear smoke.

As the engine started working, everyone was stunned for ten seconds, and then burst into enthusiastic applause.

Then I heard someone shouting: "We succeeded, we succeeded."

"Xiao Jiang, is this a success?" Director Liu seemed extremely excited at this time, pulling Jiang Yan's shoulder and asking.

"That's right! But this is just a preliminary test. The engine still needs to be installed on the car. It needs to undergo a series of road tests such as hill climbing and swamps, as well as severe cold and high heat tests. Only after passing all these tests can the engine be finalized.

.”

In fact, there are four main steps in the formal method of testing an engine.

One is the fuel supply test, which is one of the most basic tests in the calibration test. It is used to determine the fuel supply required by the engine.

The second is the air intake test, which is a test used to determine the air intake required by the engine. Through these tests, you can ensure that the engine's air intake reaches the optimal state and improve the engine's efficiency.

The third step is the ignition advance angle test, which is a test used to determine the engine ignition time. Through these tests, you can ensure that the engine's ignition time reaches the optimal state and improve the engine's combustion efficiency.

The fourth part is the exhaust resistance test, which is a test used to determine the resistance of the engine exhaust system. Through these tests, the normal operation of the exhaust system can be ensured and the exhaust resistance can reach the best state.

However, such tests require the use of specialized equipment and even the construction of a specialized large-scale laboratory. Obviously, China does not yet have this capability, and can only adopt relatively simple testing methods.

"I'll arrange the vehicles right away," Factory Director Liu said as he prepared to leave the workshop.

Jiang Yan caught him and said, "Uncle Liu, do you want to report to Minister Liu Xufeng for the next step of testing?"

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Factory Director Liu woke up from a dream and slammed his head, "Look at me, I'm so happy that I want to announce the good news to the leader. In this way, let's test all the other remaining engines to make sure

Once it’s correct, I’ll call Director Liu to tell the good news.”

After Jiang Yan's test, eight of the ten installed engines successfully ignited. Of the two engines that failed to ignite, one failed to ignite due to a gap in the cylinder during molding, and the other had an air tightness problem.

, even this success rate was far beyond Jiang Yan's expectation.

It was already daybreak, and the workers were already a little tired after working all night. Seeing this situation, Factory Director Liu arranged for the workers to rest nearby, but he took his secretary to the First Machinery Department to report.

"Boss, Director Liu called just now. The machine department will be here in twenty minutes to receive it. Please prepare."

Jiang Yan, who was resting on the camp bed, was woken up by Xu Damao. After hearing Xu Damao's words, Jiang Yan quickly got out of bed, tidied up, and walked to the first workshop with Xu Damao.

When Jiang Yan arrived at the first workshop, almost all the workers from last night had arrived, and everyone was waiting for Jiang Yan.

Seeing these workers, Jiang Yan waved his hand and said, "Start making according to the process arranged last night."

After everyone responded, they dispersed, walked to their workstations, and began to get busy.

Jiang Yan turned to the two apprentices who were following him and said, "You two also saw the installation steps last night. After we show them around, you two will start to get started. I will assist you."

"I can explain it clearly to you two. I will teach you step by step the installation process without reservation. If you don't know, you can ask until you learn it. But you two, please remember one thing. In the future, you will train technology

People, please don’t let me play with these things.”

The two people heard Jiang Yan's slightly harsh words and spoke quickly.

"Don't worry, master, we won't hold anything back."

Jiang Yan nodded after hearing what the two people said.

In the past, masters often left one skill behind when teaching their disciples. This was the traditional concept of "teaching apprentices to starve the master to death". Under the control of this concept, many craftsmanship was not refined or even lost.

Of course, Jiang Yan did not completely disagree with this "hold a hand" attitude.

If it were his own world, Jiang Yan would definitely not impart his knowledge to his apprentices without reservation. In fact, the reason is very simple, just for survival.

From the perspective of the times, it is understandable to govern the country according to the law, protect the legitimate rights of citizens, and pay attention to contributions as well as rewards. This kind of "leaving one hand behind" is understandable.

In the era of market economy at that time, policies for the cultural industry were also introduced, and knowledge became a commodity. Some professors gave tens of thousands of yuan for a class, which was normal. What about the masters who imparted skills? Of course, they could not suffer a loss, so they would give it without reservation.

Teaching disciples has formed a good momentum of "better than master". Unfortunately, this good momentum has not yet been formed, and the phenomenon of "teaching apprentices to starve masters to death" has continued to this day, and the phenomenon of masters knowingly protecting themselves and "leaving one hand behind" has ceased.

Strange.

But this is the era of planned economy, and accepting disciples now is not the same as in later generations.

Nowadays, the tradition of accepting apprentices is still maintained. Apprentices are selected after selection. Only if you think the apprentice has potential in this area, you will be accepted. If you think you do not have the potential in this area, you will not be accepted no matter how much you pay.

Before accepting apprentices, the master will inspect these apprentices for several years.

When you meet the master to study art, you should prepare a meeting gift. In addition to wine and meat, some people also prepare red envelopes or gifts. After being introduced by the introducer and interviewed by the master, if you are satisfied with the master, you will accept the gift, otherwise you will decline it. The master accepts the gift.

After the ceremony, the students knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude and perform the apprenticeship ceremony. Some even set up a table to light candles and pray to the ancestors and gods. After that, the master also signed a learning contract with the apprentice to clarify the obligations of both parties, most of which were stipulations for the apprentice.

, For example, the apprenticeship period is three years, and there is no wages during the learning period. You must be diligent and not lazy.

Wang Dabao and Liu Yong also proposed to give Jiang Yan a thank-you banquet when Jiang Yan came back. However, Jiang Yan refused. So far, these two guys are still a little uneasy.

And once an apprentice is accepted, the requirements for the apprentice are also very high. If the apprentice is found to be lazy and slippery during the learning process, it will range from a scolding to a severe fasting for a day or a meal. The potential of the apprentice coupled with the strict education of the master,

The apprentice learns a skill and uses it for life. Therefore, the apprentice is also very grateful to the master.

A more important point is that today's factories are all state-owned factories. Although each has its own shortcomings, at least they will not fire workers at will like private factories in later generations.

Workers are the absolute protagonists of this era.

There is another update before and after, but it is a little later. Muyu has just returned to the dormitory from the mountain. Thank you everyone.
