Gu Yunyang smiled shyly and said, "Not only that, I've also visited some machinery factories and looked at some of their guidebooks."
Although there are some differences between the two, bicycle steel balls are undoubtedly cheaper.
Moreover, the original material manufacturers can certainly provide it.
This can be resolved simply by Uncle Fan making a contact.
The current problem is the qualification issue of agricultural machinery factories to produce bicycles.
If Uncle Fan can solve the problem, I can help modify the machine tools so we can start producing bicycles and resolve the current predicament of the agricultural machinery factory.
With subsequent production line upgrades and improved worker skills, we could even produce tractors.
It doesn't matter if we can't produce complete tractors at the beginning.
A simplified version can be produced first.
Gu Yunyang wanted to get a few more to take back for the Red Flag Brigade to use.
After all, the busy farming season is really tiring.
The most tiring task was land reclamation.
After each harvest, the soil in the field must be turned over.
The main reason for tilling the soil is to improve soil conditions and provide a better environment for crop growth.
Turning the soil loosens it, improves aeration and water retention, and promotes root respiration and growth in crops.
In addition, after the rice is harvested, the bottom part is not cut off but left in the field.
The process needs to be reversed, with the roots turned up into the ground for fermentation, which then becomes fertilizer for the next crop of rice.
But turning over the soil is not an easy task.
Hongqi Brigade now only has three cows, even though Hongqi Brigade has the fewest paddy fields in Baishi Commune.
But the work of turning the soil cannot be accomplished by three oxen.
A large portion of the soil turning was done manually by pulling plows.
Not to mention the waste of manpower, it also takes a lot of time.
If we could produce a few simple tractors to drive the plows behind them to turn the soil.
It saves time and effort, and the results are better than doing it manually.
However, Gu Yunyang did not say anything about these matters for the time being.
Fan Zhijian thought about it and felt that it wasn't a big problem.
He had previously helped Yangcheng Shipyard, and they were also willing to help him in return.
But the other party wasn't a tractor manufacturing plant, so it wasn't a good fit.
Now that I've found a suitable engineer, well, although Gu Yunyang isn't an engineer, his skills should be comparable to an engineer's, right?
"Don't worry about the qualifications, I'll take care of that. However..."
He looked at Gu Yunyang very seriously and asked, "I only have one question: are you sure you can complete this?"
If it can't be completed, then it doesn't matter if I waste time and effort trying to figure it out myself.
This delayed the transformation of the agricultural machinery factory, and the factory's profits were too poor.
Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "It's not a big problem, but if Uncle Fan needs it, we can purchase a batch of raw materials first, and I'll modify a production line. Let's try it out first, and once we have the finished product, Uncle Fan can apply for the necessary qualifications."
Gu Yunyang wasn't worried about this at all.
Machine tools can actually be modified to produce parts of different specifications.
Gu Yunyang remembered a news story from his previous life: during the pandemic, many factories converted their production lines to produce face masks.
The technology used in mechanical modification is astonishing.
Fan Zhijian pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, what do you need? I'll buy it for you."
"Actually, our agricultural machinery factory should have most of these things."
Gu Yunyang said that he immediately took out paper and pen and wrote a list of raw materials for Fan Zhijian.
In addition, there are the tools needed for my own modifications.
Fan Zhijian understood immediately: "Okay, I'll get it ready. I'll have you come over when it's ready. Let's modify a production line first, produce a few cars on trial, and then I'll apply for the qualifications. It shouldn't be a big problem."
