Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 132 The meeting begins

This high-level meeting.

Secretary Chen and Factory Director Wei were talking about something at that moment.

However, they were quite far from Li Feng, so he couldn't hear what they were saying at all.

Even so, Li Feng was still very excited about it.

At this moment, Li Feng looked at Master Deng beside him, but Master Deng was dozing off with his eyes half-closed.

It seems that none of this matters to Master Deng.

Li Feng saw Master Deng like this.

So Li Feng followed Master Deng's example, began to adjust his breathing, and then started to relax.

About twenty minutes later.

Factory Director Wei glanced at the people below, then coughed, and immediately asked Assistant Han.

"Xiao Han."

"Is everyone here?"

Assistant Han glanced around the conference room before answering Director Wei.

"Everyone has arrived."

Factory Director Wei nodded and then asked Assistant Han to sit down.

At this moment, Factory Director Wei addressed everyone present.

"You may have heard something about the content of this meeting."

"In order to cooperate with the Publicity Department's need to promote the spirit of Daqing Iron Man, our factory has received a task to produce porcelain plates to support the Publicity Department in promoting the deeds of the Iron Man."

"This time, both the ministry and Minister Jiang attach great importance to this task."

"Furthermore, Minister Jiang also said that the Publicity and Publication Department will send someone to help us complete this task."

When Li Feng heard this, he was extremely surprised!

Li Feng hadn't expected that even the publicity department would send someone to assist with the work.

Not only was Li Feng surprised, but everyone else was also taken aback.

After all, in the past, at most the workshop director or the deputy factory director would supervise.

This time, they actually sent someone from the publicity department to help us with our work.

This shocked them greatly.

At this point, people started discussing it.

Director Wei saw everyone talking and coughed once, and the room immediately quieted down.

Seeing that things had quieted down, Director Wei couldn't help but continue.

"This mission is much more difficult than the previous ones."

"In terms of time, there is relatively plenty."

"Therefore, I hope that everyone can unite together to accomplish the important tasks assigned to us by the country."

At this point, Factory Director Wei first explained the importance of the task assigned to the factory by the state, and then asked everyone to work together to complete the task.

Li Feng was very familiar with this content.

After all, these contents can be considered to have been inherited by later generations.

Next, Factory Director Wei began to explain the mission.

So Li Feng sat up straight and began to listen carefully.

"Regarding this project, the task assigned to us by the state was to produce a ceramic slab that is 10 meters long and 4.5 meters wide."

"Let's put the topic of porcelain slabs aside for now."

"Regarding the manufacturing process, is it possible for your factory to produce a porcelain slab of this length?"

When Director Wei got to this point, he clearly looked towards Master Wang.

After all, Master Wang is a level seven potter in the factory, so he has a lot of authority to say about the making of ceramic clay.

At this moment, Master Wang noticed that Factory Director Wei was looking at him, so he answered Factory Director Wei directly.

"Director Wei!"

"If it's a ceramic tile of this size, it's almost impossible to mold it in one piece."

"We simply cannot make this by hand."

"Even if it were pressed by machine, it would be unlikely."

"Right now, our factory can only produce porcelain slabs that are about two meters long at most." "That's already the limit for our factory."

"Moreover, our kilns cannot accommodate such large porcelain slabs."

"Even if you manage to put it in, firing it will be a big problem, since firing porcelain requires even heat distribution."

"If it is not fired properly, it is very likely to crack."

"Moreover, with such a long length, it is also difficult for us to maintain a certain level of flatness."

At this point, Master Wang directly pointed out the difficulties in the production process.

After all, this is the first problem we need to face.

After Master Wang finished speaking, Liu Shisheng also spoke up.

"Master Wang is right."

"To fire porcelain slabs like these, even the largest kiln can only fire slabs that are about five meters long at most."

"Our factory doesn't yet have a kiln capable of firing five-meter-long porcelain slabs."

"Moreover, the shrinkage of both the kiln and the porcelain plate is a problem that is difficult to overcome at present."

"Based on the situation in our factory."

"Our factory can produce porcelain slabs that are about two meters long at most."

"If we keep the ceramic slabs to around two meters, we can also control the yield rate."

Master Wang and Liu Shisheng's words were agreed upon by most of the people present.

After all, there's nothing wrong with them expressing themselves in this way according to their professional fields.

After hearing their words, Director Wei couldn't help but address everyone present.

"According to what Master Wang and Master Liu said..."

"The approach of 'one-piece molding' is definitely not going to work."

Then Factory Director Wei looked at Master Wang and asked him a question.

"If it is made according to the method of segmentation."

"Which method do you think is best?"

After pondering for a moment, Master Wang replied to Factory Director Wei.

"If we're going to do it by dividing it into sections, I suggest dividing it into five parts."

"This way, we can ensure that each piece maintains a certain degree of smoothness and flatness."

"In this way, even if any piece is flawed, we can replace it with a new tile at any time."

"Furthermore, we need to ensure that the color of each piece remains consistent."

"Judging from the current yield rate in our factory, it is already quite good that we can maintain a certain yield rate for these two-meter-long ceramic slabs."

"Because the firing or production of other types of vessels will cause deviations."

"If it gets any bigger, the number of defective products will also increase."

After listening to Master Wang's words, Li Feng finally understood.

The larger the porcelain slab, the more difficult it is to produce.

In reality, this means that more problems will occur.

According to Li Feng's understanding.

After the porcelain slab is fired, it needs to be polished, especially after the glaze is applied, as there is a high possibility of glaze shrinkage or glaze dispersion.

By saying this, Master Wang has basically covered all the possible problems that might arise.

After all, this is a big production.

We cannot afford to overlook some problems due to some oversights.

That's when.

Deputy Factory Director Zhu suddenly spoke to Master Wang.

"Master Wang!"

"If an electric kiln is used, will that solve the problem of low yield?"

When Deputy Factory Director Zhu finished speaking, most people present turned their gaze toward Master Wang.

After all, Master Wang has a lot to say about pottery throwing.
