Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

With excited hearts and trembling hands, everyone was shocked as Teacher Liu and Professor Xiang operated the machine tool and executed cutting and tool compensation commands through the panel.

At that moment, Li Feng was thinking, "I've succeeded."

I finally succeeded. All my hard work over the past few months has paid off. I practically wore out my hands writing the code for the CNC machine tool control system.

Now that Li Feng sees that the control system he wrote has finally succeeded, Li Feng is very happy.

Just as Li Feng was getting excited, a mechanical voice came to his mind.

"bite!".

"Congratulations, host, on completing the first task in the series of tasks on the rise of a great power. The host has initiated and completed the machine tool control system project in the research group."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the complete sequence technology of computer chips."

"bite!".

"Triggering the second mission in the series of missions on the rise of a great power, requiring the host to create an industrial mother machine."

"Ding! The host can obtain nuclear fission technology upon completing the mission."

When Li Feng heard the mechanical voice in his mind, he was completely stunned.

what?
Nuclear fission technology?
What the hell?
If we're not developing atomic bombs ourselves, what use is this technology to us?
This puzzled Li Feng. As far as he knew, China had started developing atomic bombs a long time ago, and had detonated its first atomic bomb a few years later.

However, this nuclear fission technology is complete.

never mind!

Even if I don't use it, it's fine to keep it here. Anyway, I've got the technology. Whether I use it or not is my own business. Besides, I probably won't have the chance to use this technology anyway.

If, a few years later, the country successfully develops its first atomic bomb, then this technology will be of little use.

While technology is one aspect, having the capability and resources to manufacture atomic bombs is another matter entirely.

This is related to national strength. Afterwards, Li Feng focused his attention on the second mission of activating the rise of a great power. Then he saw the manufacturing of an industrial mother machine and he was speechless.

Manufacturing industrial machine tools is very difficult.

After all, industrial machine tools are the foundation of manufacturing, and they are manufactured through precision machining.

Therefore, we must first set a high standard, and then manufacture these parts. So we can only select parts that meet the high standard, and industrial machine tools involve many processes.

This includes steps such as design, material selection, precision machining, assembly, and debugging. In other words, you design an industrial machine tool to a high standard, then manufacture the machine tool with high precision, and then raise the standard again to manufacture the high-standard machine tool.

While it's similar to a nesting doll, the difficulty increases exponentially.

Moreover, given the current conditions in China, this will be a difficult task.

Just as Li Feng was thinking about these things, Professor Xiang noticed that Li Feng was in a daze. He walked up to Li Feng, patted him on the shoulder, and then asked him with concern.

"Li Feng, what are you thinking about?"

Professor Xiang's caring words quickly brought Li Feng back to reality. After hearing Professor Xiang's words of concern, Li Feng slowly shook his head at Professor Xiang.

"I was thinking about something just now."

Professor Xiang paused for a moment, then asked Li Feng with some curiosity.

"What are you thinking about?"

At this moment, Li Feng answered the professor directly.

"I was just thinking about manufacturing industrial mother machines. Now that we have the ability to make CNC machine tool control panels, it means we also have the ability to manufacture industrial mother machines." Professor Xiang was deeply shocked after hearing Li Feng's words.

Yup!

Now that China has machine tool control systems, meaning that China has an operating system to control machine tools, it is possible for China to manufacture industrial mother machines as long as it can manufacture relatively high-precision machine tools.

At this point, Professor Xiang thought about it more and more and felt that it was possible.

While there are few manufacturers producing high-precision machine tools, it is still possible to manufacture them if resources are concentrated. As for the core component of high-precision machine tools, the machine tool control system, it has now been solved. Once the industrial mother machine is manufactured, such manufacturers will be able to mass-produce high-precision machine tools.

When Professor Xiang thought of this, his face instantly turned as if he were drunk.

Then, his excited eyes gleamed with an unusual light, and he happily said to Li Feng.

"without"

"That's right."

"You're right, the next step is the industrial machine tool."

"With the industrial mother machine, we can also manufacture CNC machine tools in China."

"Even if the precision of this CNC machine tool is not very high, it will still improve our country's industrial base. Then we will not be afraid of the restrictions imposed on us by Western countries on the import of CNC machine tools."

As Professor Xiang spoke, the other teachers turned their attention to him. At that moment, Professor Xiang realized that he had said too much, so he put on a serious expression.

At this moment, Professor Xiang spoke seriously to Li Feng.

"This matter, what you just mentioned, is to be kept confidential for now, do you understand?"

Although Li Feng didn't know why Professor Xiang had said that, he still nodded to him.

"it is good".

Professor Xiang then told several teachers about the secret development of a CNC machine tool control system.

These teachers were also Party members. They realized the consequences of developing a machine tool control system, so they all assured Professor Xiang that they would not reveal the matter.

Next

Professor Xiang had several teachers seal the memory inside the machine tool, and as for Li Feng, he told him to go and rest.

Professor Xiang then went directly to the school's principal and secretary to report the matter.

After all, having developed a CNC machine tool control system, we first had to report to them, and then the two leaders would contact the Ministry of Industry.

Although Professor Xiang could have contacted the Ministry of Industry directly, he did not do so.

If Professor Xiang were to bypass the two leaders at this point, that would definitely not work.

When the president and secretary of Tsinghua University learned that Professor Xiang's students had actually developed a machine tool control system, their faces were filled with surprise.

They were intellectuals too, and they certainly knew what this meant. So they had their answer. They nodded to each other, and then the principal spoke directly to Professor Xiang.

"This is very important, I will contact the Ministry of Industry."

At this moment, the secretary nodded to Professor Xiang.

"That's right!"

"You and Li Feng will need to go to the Ministry of Industry together then..." (End of Chapter)
