Good news: She found out she was the original female lead in a novel, now reduced to a supporting role.
Bad news: Her storyline had already ended, with her receiving her "lunchbox" (b...
Lin Ying hurriedly said, "Director Jiang, this is just my guess. We need to consider the actual situation. After all, I don't know much about this. This thing is going to be used in every household. Safety must be guaranteed."
Jiang He slapped his forehead: "Look at me, I got too excited. You wait, I'll call a few people over."
Soon, Jiang He summoned several engineers from the factory. Upon hearing Jiang He's words, two engineers immediately objected: "Director Jiang, this is a machinery factory, not some kind of pot and pan processing plant. It was one thing for the factory to make iron pots before, but now they're doing all this other nonsense."
If you continue like this, our factory's policies will be thrown into chaos!
"Yeah, if you ask me, this really won't do. If things continue like this, we might as well stop calling it the Second Machinery Factory and just call it the Second Steel Factory. I really don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. Do they really think just anyone can become a factory director?"
Jiang He's face immediately darkened.
"Are you two looking down on my blueprints?"
The two men seemed to have only seen half of Lin Ying, sizing her up and down: "Tch, where did this little brat come from? It seems like anyone can be an engineering designer these days?"
Jiang He hurriedly explained from the side: "This is Comrade Lin Ying, who invented the table saw and the handsaw."
After Jiang He introduced Lin Ying, an elderly man who had been silently looking at the blueprints couldn't help but look up at Lin Ying.
The other two, however, still looked down on Lin Ying: "The table saw is alright, but that hand saw requires no skill at all. It's just a cheap trick."
Lin Ying wasn't angry at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a white cat or a black cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat. I just wonder how many mice you two have caught?"
The old man beside him couldn't help but chuckle: "They're just petty scoundrels who can't see the world and are all talk and no action. Don't bother with them. Girl, come here. I think your blueprints might have some flaws."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ying quickly straightened up and walked over. Jiang He, who was standing to the side, looked at the two of them and said, "If you two are not going to participate in the discussion, then you should leave first. I know you are both quite busy. Thank you for coming here."
Upon hearing this, the two turned and left.
Seeing this, Lin Ying couldn't help but ask, "Director Jiang, why are you being so polite to them?"
The old man standing nearby laughed: "No need to be so tactful, he's just being obsequious."
Jiang He said helplessly, "These kinds of technical talents are treasures everywhere. Besides, they are the ones who are keeping an eye on the contract manufacturing that Factory One is providing. At least it is a source of income for the factory."
The old man also knows the current situation and knows that Jianghe is in a difficult position.
"Let's not talk about that anymore, girl. There's nothing wrong with the rest of your drawings. The main problem is with the inner tank. I think a larger valve should be installed in this position. You considered the possibility of an explosion due to excessive heat and pressure inside, so you installed a vent here. But you forgot to consider the issue of limescale buildup."
Heating water easily produces limescale. If the water drains slowly from the top and bottom, it indicates limescale buildup. In this case, the drain channels need to be opened and cleaned.
Lin Ying's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this: "Yes, you're absolutely right. Some large boilers also have access points for cleaning ditches underneath. I was just wondering what was missing."
Jiang He, who was standing to the side, asked, "Can this blueprint be made?"
Lin Ying only provided the blueprints; she wasn't sure whether she would actually do it. However, the old man beside her said, "It can be done. Why can't it be done! Make a few samples first for testing, and once we've confirmed there are no problems, we can apply for approval."
Jiang He was overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, I'll go and make the arrangements right away."
Lin Ying quickly stopped him: "Director Jiang, please wait a moment. I haven't given you all the blueprints yet."
Jiang He was stunned, and even the old man next to him was surprised.
The two of them looked at Lin Ying at the same time. Lin Ying picked up her paper and pen again and started drawing.
"That was the first type, but it has a drawback. Stoves come in all shapes and sizes, even these honeycomb briquette stoves are different sizes. Unless we make it into a support type, that is, we can make a support at the bottom and then put the water tank next to the stove. But that way, it is easy for it to fall over and is unsafe."
Therefore, the best way is to simply slip it over the stove and secure it in place.
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "I was only thinking about the blueprints and didn't consider the actual situation. The girl is right. Your honeycomb briquette stove is indeed a standard stove, and many people use it. We can make a batch based on your stove. However, buying a stove just for this is putting the cart before the horse."
