Siheyuan: From a technical secondary school student to an academician of a major country

Chapter 93 Witness
Under the witness of Jerry Yang and Huaide Li, Yu Wenzhen personally assembled the first version of the Trinity drilling machine.

Unfortunately, it was too late to assemble the second version of the drill press.

At this time, outside the workshop, Zeng Guobin and Tang Qingyu had arrived, and the factory director's secretary Zhu Dingwen had come in to report.

"Director."

Zhu Dingwen quickly ran to Yang Zhiwei's side: "The leaders are here."

"Let's go and greet him."

Yang Zhiwei was about to walk out as he spoke, without calling Yu Wenzhen who was still debugging the equipment.

However, before they could take a few steps, Zeng Guobin and his team had already walked into the workshop.

Zeng Guobin only said, "No need, there are not so many rules."

Although Zeng Guobin said this, Yang Zhiwei still went forward and finally walked behind Zeng Guobin.

Everyone came to the new machine again. Zeng Guobin glanced at the busy Yu Wenzheng and said, "You are really quick. You just reported the completion of the drawings yesterday, and you have already made one today."

Yu Wenzheng took the time to look up at Zeng Guobin and said with a smile: "Isn't it more intuitive to test the equipment directly than to look at the drawings? Please wait a minute, it will be ready soon."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Guobin waved his hand, signaling Yu Wenzhen not to be anxious and to take his time, as there was plenty of time in the morning anyway.

The agreed one minute is just one minute.

A minute later, Yu Wenzheng turned around and walked to Zeng Guobin: "Minister Zeng, hello, Chief Engineer Tang."

Tang Qingyu glanced at Yu Wenzhen, and the emotions that had calmed down over time were aroused again.

What a pity.

Such a good scientific research talent happened to go into a steel rolling mill.

If he went to the Academy of Sciences, he would be so happy that he would wake up in his dreams.

"Wumi Masa, long time no see."

Although I felt it was a pity and also blamed Yu Wenzhen for starting work too early, the matter was already settled and it was too late to say anything.

"Chief Engineer Tang, I have to trouble you again."

Yu Wenzhen seemed very polite.

But this politeness is not alienation, but respect.

"Don't be polite to me."

Tang Qingyu patted Yu Wenzhen's shoulder with his palm, which was rough and powerful.

The machine has been debugged and can be run once powered on. Tang Qingyu can't wait.

At this moment, he wanted to witness the country's progress with his own eyes, so he asked anxiously: "Wen Zheng, is the machine working? Let's test it quickly."

As Tang Qingyu spoke, he took out a small notebook and a pen from his pocket, ready to take notes at any time.

"Okay."

Yu Wenzhen nodded and looked at Zeng Guobin.

"Then let's get started."

Zeng Guobin smiled and then asked, "Wen Zheng, who are you going to let do the test?"

Zeng Guobin just looked around and didn't see Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai is the youngest eighth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill and also Yu Wenzhen’s uncle. He thought that the test would be conducted by Yi Zhonghai himself.

"Minister Zeng, I will do this test myself."

Yu Wenzhen shocked Zeng Guobin and Tang Qingyu as soon as he opened his mouth.

They never thought that Yu Wenzhen was also a locksmith.

"You also know locksmithing?"

Tang Qingyu looked at Yu Wenzhen and felt a little trembling in his heart.

Missed it.

This is not talent at all.

This is what an all-rounder should be.

Yu Wenzheng nodded calmly, then looked at the worker in charge of controlling the switch: "Turn on the power."

The worker nodded and turned off the power.

Instantly, the machine started running.

Surprisingly, the noise of this machine when in operation is much smaller than that of other machines. Tang Qingyu immediately asked Yu Wenzheng about this.

“For this, I used rubber.”

Yu Wenzheng pointed to the various joints of the machine and said, "After padding with rubber, the noise during the operation of the machine can be effectively reduced."

Tang Qingyu suddenly realized.

Rubber products are still scarce and are generally used in engines, so he didn't think about it in that regard.

The machine was operating normally, so Yu Wenzhen's test began.

He first made the parts with the new machine, and then made them again with the old machine. When comparing the efficiency, the new machine was more than twice as efficient as the old one.

"Okay, great."

Tang Qingyu had already made records, and when he looked at the comparative data, he couldn't stop smiling.

However, the testing has not been completed yet, and it is obviously not enough to rely on one person alone.

Tang Qingyu ordered Yang Zhiwei to call in fitters of different levels and the test continued.

After the final round of testing, the new machine was found to be 2.5 times more efficient than the old one on average, and the yield rate reached over 90%.

This is an encouraging statistic.

For a moment, the entire workshop was plunged into a sea of ​​cheers.

Zeng Guobin looked at Tang Qingyu and said with a smile: "Old Tang, you are too happy too early."

"What do you mean?"

Tang Qingyu was puzzled.

Zeng Guobin didn't say anything, but just pointed to another pile of machine parts that had not yet been assembled, smiling without saying anything.

"This is……"

Tang Qingyu thought about it and his gaze stayed on Yu Wenzhen.

He didn't expect that Zeng Guobin could be so naughty.

Yu Wenzheng felt a little amused, but he remained calm and explained, "Chief Engineer Tang, this is the upgraded version I designed, and I haven't had time to assemble it yet."

Tang Qingyu’s eyes widened.

This new machine is already so powerful, and there is actually an upgraded version?

For a moment, Tang Qingyu didn't know what to say.

Should I be happy or sad?

The good news is that having an upgraded version is a good thing. The country needs technology, especially high-tech.

It’s sad that such a good talent like Yu Wenzhen is wasted in a grassroots position. It’s such a pity.

"Please wait for a moment, leaders. I will start assembling it now."

After Yu Wenzhen finished speaking, he didn't care about the two leaders' reactions, he called the workers and started assembling.

Time passed quickly, and in less than half an hour, the machine was assembled.

The two devices look similar in shape but are obviously different. Tang Qingyu can't see the advantage of the upgraded version at all.

But after some testing, he was convinced.

The second version of the drilling machine has achieved semi-automation.

Some trivial processes no longer require workers to operate manually. They only need to throw the steel of appropriate size into the machine, and after a while the workers will perform the final step of polishing.

The efficiency gap between fully manual and semi-automatic is naturally very large.

Let's say that.

With fully manual processing, the worker may still be doing the first or second step, while with semi-automatic processing, the work has already been completed, leaving only the final polishing.

There is such an obvious difference that even a fool can see which one is better.

clap clap clap!
There was warm applause in the workshop.

Zeng Guobin, Tang Qingyu, Yang Zhiwei and others all had smiles on their faces.

The test is completed, and the next step is to have a meeting.

The content of the meeting was naturally to decide the future of the two versions of the machine.

As a designer and deputy director of the technical department, Yu Wenzhen naturally had to attend such meetings.
