Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 198 Second Generation Machine Tools, Back to the Project Team (Subscription Request)
"Dad, just remember what I said. Don't tell anyone else, not even Mom. I'm afraid she can't keep it secret."

Before leaving, Zhou Fengnian gave Zhou Fugui specific instructions, and he also told his father what might happen.

"I see. I'm the only one in Sanshui Commune who knows about this. I'll pay more attention to it. You should also be careful in the city."

Zhou Fugui also looked serious after hearing this, and couldn't help but remind him: "If it really doesn't work, come back to the village. Our family will definitely have no problem supporting you."

In his heart, the third brother is the most powerful person he has ever met, who can do anything; but now even the third brother is unsure, which means that the matter is really serious.

“You don’t have to worry about our village. You insisted that every household in the village join in, and now no one is left behind;

Greenhouse vegetables, mushrooms, hot sauce factories. The whole village has to say thank you. Now every household can get at least 100 yuan every year."

Zhou Fugui was not modest when he talked about this matter. This was what his third son deserved.

The least is less than one hundred, and the most is nearly two hundred; those who can receive more mean that there are many people in their family and they earn more work points.

Zhou Fugui was in a different situation. What he earned in a year was not enough to buy food, so he could only use the money from his family to buy food.

But even so, he did not ask for any more work points; Hong Changshan said he would give him some extra points, at least to make up for his food rations, but Zhou Fugui refused.

"No one in the village will not remember your kindness. The same is true in Sanshui Commune. No matter how much trouble you cause in other places, Hongjia Village will always support you."

"Okay, don't worry. I just told you in advance just in case. Maybe there's nothing wrong and I'm just worrying for no reason."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he waved to Zhou Fugui and continued, "Go back, I'm leaving too."

The annual leave was over very quickly and I had to go back just after the third day of the Chinese New Year.

Zhou Fengnian and his group returned to Sijiu City and spent half a day cleaning the courtyard and the house, and then took a rest.

He didn't get much rest at home as there were too many visitors. Even if Zhou Fengnian was lying in bed and unable to get up, he could still hear laughter and talking from next door.

After returning home, Zhou Fengnian lay down on the bed and started reading. Zhou Yan originally planned to hold her daughter and rest with Zhou Fengnian.

But her almost two-year-old son was a troublemaker, so Zhou Yan had to get up and take care of the child, leaving Zhou Fengnian to take care of their daughter Zhou Yiyi.

But my daughter was sleeping soundly at that time, so it saved me some effort.

After a while, Zhou Yan sighed and went back to the house. After seeing the book in Zhou Fengnian's hand, she asked casually, "Fengnian, what are you reading?"

"Compendium of Materia Medica."

Zhou Yan asked curiously, "Why are you reading medical books?"

Zhou Fengnian answered casually, "The earlier you see the doctor, the earlier you will prepare. Twenty-six is ​​just the right age to see the doctor. It will be too late to start learning medicine when I am sixty-two."

He had learned a lot of useless skills before, and he could only use one after not using it for a few years. When he has free time later, he will learn a few practical ones.

Medicine and martial arts, the latter is just ordinary fighting, but Zhou Fengnian wants to see if his proficiency simulation system can improve this skill to the level of a martial arts god.

The same goes for medical skills. Take some time every day to read some books and improve your skills. There will always be a day when they will be useful.

Zhou Fengnian still wants to live a long and healthy life, even if not to be a hundred years old, at least to be ninety-nine.

Take a half-day break and start working immediately the next day.

Zhou Fengnian arrived at the machine tool factory very early, but there were many people who came earlier than him.

Even when passing by the technical department, Zhou Fengnian saw that many people were already working inside.

The technical department has never been forced to work overtime. They are the ones who are sent home because they work too late.

Not long after Zhou Fengnian sat down in the office, Liu Hanfei knocked on the door and walked in, bringing with him a report on the technical innovation plan for the five-axis machine tool.

"Mr. Zhou, take a look at this. If there is no problem, this will be the technical innovation plan for the middle of the year."

Liu Hanfei said that this was a plan that their technical department had started working on years ago, and they were even working overtime the night before the holiday.

Zhou Fengnian took it and looked at it carefully, then nodded and said, "Not bad, let's do it this way.

But you should take the plan and go to Deputy Director Wang again."

"Hmm? Why are you going to his place?"

Liu Hanfei asked doubtfully: "Engineer Zhou, he is not a technical person, so he won't understand the plan even if I give it to him."

"He couldn't understand it, but he was the deputy factory director in charge of the technical department, and the decision was made after a meeting of factory cadres."

Zhou Fengnian explained: "Once the workshop builds the C2 CNC machine tool, I may be transferred for a period of time. If you give him face, he will help you.

Besides, Deputy Director Wang is from the Industrial Bureau of Sijiu City. If you have any "needs", you should ask your leader for help. Go ahead, Chief Liu. Being more tactful will help R&D."

"Also, non-technical people generally don't like to hear things they don't understand, so you should explain it in detail several times."

After listening to it, Liu Hanfei quickly understood and agreed. Then he took the technical innovation plan for the five-axis machine tool to the office of Deputy Director Wang.

After entering, Liu Hanfei showed his attitude towards Zhou Fengnian and said to Wang Jinghui: "Deputy Director Wang, this is the technical innovation plan planned by the technical department until the middle of the year. Do you see if there is anything that needs to be changed?"

"Oh, for me to see?"

Wang Jinghui was a little surprised when he heard this. After Zhou Fengnian came back some time ago, the technical department had not contacted him again.

Now he actually took the initiative to report it.

"Mr. Zhou said that you, Deputy Director Wang, are in charge of the technical department after all, so these things must be reviewed by you. I will explain them to you, the leader."

Liu Hanfei then began to talk about the technical department’s plans, the progress of technological innovation, the expected completion time, etc.

Wang Jinghui didn't understand most of what was said, but he still nodded in agreement, pretending to be thoughtful.

After Liu Hanfei finished speaking, Wang Jinghui said, "Okay, this plan is good, Chief Liu, I agree."

Liu Hanfei nodded and said, "Then Deputy Director Wang, our technical department will start work next."

After everyone left, Wang Jinghui laughed silently. After being happy for a while, he called his secretary over.

"Xiao Yu, please pay attention to when Mr. Zhou leaves. I will set a table for him the day before he leaves."

"Okay, I understand, Director."

Secretary Yu agreed immediately. Although he didn't know what had happened to make Wang Jinghui so happy, it must have been related to Liu Hanfei from the technical department who had just come in.

The machine tool factory entered a busy phase on the first day of operation, without even any time to adapt.

The above tasks are heavy, and after being transferred to the leaders of the machine tool factory, they can only be transferred to the front-line production workers.

However, in order to boost morale, the machine tool factory also tried every means to hold a motivational dinner. All leaders tried every means to get supplies, and even Wang Jinghui used his connections to transfer two sheep from the grassland.

This is considered a great effort, as Gao Zhiyuan doesn't even have any connections in Inner Mongolia.

Originally, some workers were dissatisfied with the large amount of processing tasks they had to face right after starting work, but after learning that there would be an incentive dinner, their dissatisfaction disappeared.

They are all working for industrial development, and the factory takes such good care of them.

Even the apprentices working the night shift received meal tickets, and someone in the kitchen prepared a meal for them in the evening, the same as the daytime meals.

Everyone ordered two servings of meat and vegetables, ate some for themselves and took some away for their families. After the meal, everyone immediately threw themselves into production with full energy. There was no need for the workshop director to urge them, as almost all the workers were full of energy.

Zhou Fengnian has also been focusing on the manufacturing of C2 CNC machine tools, which is the abbreviation for the second generation of domestic CNC machine tools.

Zhou Fengnian was watching almost everything from the initial assembly to the last step.

------

One day, after the last step of machine tool assembly was completed and the power was successfully turned on, cheers suddenly broke out in the workshop.

Liu Hanfei was happy for a while, and immediately sent someone to the factory office building to inform Zhou Fengnian.

The technician who reported the news entered the office and happily reported to Zhou Fengnian: "Mr. Zhou, the C2 CNC machine tool has been successfully manufactured!"

Zhou Fengnian smiled immediately after hearing this, and stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go over and take a look now. By the way, Xiao Pan, I have to notify the factory director and other deputy factory directors."

"I understand, Leader."

Zhou Fengnian arrived at the workshop first. Not long after he arrived, except for Ma Sisheng who was out, the other three arrived.

After greeting them, Zhou Fengnian immediately began testing the C2 machine tools.

The focus is still on processing parts, but other tests also need to be carried out.

After a series of tests were completed, Zhou Fengnian took a newly processed part and handed it to Liu Hanfei, saying, "Chief Liu, measure the dimensional accuracy."

Liu Hanfei took the parts and began to test them carefully, not missing any part. After he finished testing everything, he smiled and said:
"Mr. Zhou, leaders, the dimensional accuracy is not only up to standard, but the error is much smaller than before!"

"It's not just a small error, the processing efficiency has also increased a lot. You all saw the time just now, it's much faster."

Zhou Fengnian added that the two machine tools were processing together just now, so the contrast was very strong.

"Of course, the biggest improvement in CNC machine tools is in CNC. The processing efficiency of the second-generation CNC machine tools should be about 8% to 10% higher than that of the first one."

"But testing one is not a big deal. Let's test it for two days first. Arrange someone to keep an eye on it. If there are no problems after two days, we can report to the ministry."

After hearing this, Gao Zhiyuan, Hong Bowen and Wang Jinghui all showed joy on their faces.

I have achieved something within less than a month of starting work. This feeling can never be experienced anywhere else.

Gao Zhiyuan asked: "Fengnian, if the test results are completely fine."

"Then we should replace all the CNC machine tools in the factory first, which will improve production efficiency."

Zhou Fengnian paused for a moment and continued, "We'll need to overhaul the replaced CNC machine tools, and then you guys can make the arrangements. I'll have other tasks after I report to the leadership."

After hearing this, those who understood knew that Zhou Fengnian would be transferred soon. The last time he was away for half a year, this time it would probably be at least a year.

When Zhou Fengnian was around, they made great progress every year. Now that Zhou Fengnian is gone, I wonder if they can still make great progress every year.

Wang Jinghui secretly took note of the time Zhou Fengnian would leave and planned to set up a good table on that day.

Originally, he had some hidden hostility towards Zhou Fengnian, but he didn't expect that after Zhou Fengnian found out, he didn't care at all. Instead, he gave him guidance and help, which really made Wang Jinghui feel ashamed.

Wang Jinghui felt that he was being a bit too much if he didn't thank him properly.

Everyone stayed in the workshop for a while before dispersing and returning to their offices.

Wang Jinghui had been thinking about what he needed to do, so he returned to the office and immediately told Secretary Yu to do it.

Two days later, after receiving a report from the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory, Deputy Leader Li adjusted his work and drove here.

The second generation of CNC machine tools was developed and manufactured, with some improvements in performance and production efficiency, which only made Deputy Leader Li happy for a while.

But this joy was soon dispelled by the news that Zhou Fengnian was going to be transferred.

But there's nothing we can do, it was all discussed beforehand.

However, Vice Leader Li's visit was not without gain. With the more advanced second-generation CNC machine tools, domestic industrial development has been further improved.

Moreover, once Zhou Fengnian further improves the photolithography process there, the performance of the CNC machine tools can be further improved.

By then, the export volume can be further increased, and the CNC machine tools manufactured by Huaxia Machine Tool Factory will dominate the markets in several regions.

At present, the performance of machine tools from Japan and Germany is not as good as theirs. The reason why they dominate the international market is that many countries prohibit domestic trade with them.

If the market were to be opened, the CNC machine tools produced by the Huaxia Machine Tool Factory would be able to crush their machine tool market share.

This kind of thing was not within Zhou Fengnian's scope of concern. After talking with Deputy Leader Li for a while, he sent the leader away and began to pack up and hand over the work.

He will go directly to the Computer Research Institute tomorrow. There is a slight change from last year. His salary is still paid by the machine tool factory, and someone will deliver the salary to his door on the day of payment.

It is a bit troublesome, but it proves that Zhou Fengnian is still from the First Ministry of Machine Building. Deputy Leader Li specifically emphasized this requirement so that there will be no more hassles in the future over trying to recruit people.

Zhou Fengnian didn't care about it. The country would not reduce his salary and subsidies anyway.

next day
Zhou Fengnian took a bus to the Computer Research Institute. After getting off the bus, he met people he knew, and they all greeted him enthusiastically.

"Team Leader Zhou, you're back? Great!"

"Team Leader Zhou, you are finally back. We have a lot of questions to ask you."

"Team Leader Zhou, will we have a meeting later?"

Zhou Fengnian was almost surrounded at the door, and he quickly shouted that if there was anything, they could talk about it during the meeting later, and only then did he let them go.

After everyone left, Director Yan smiled and came forward and said, "I didn't expect you to be so popular. You don't know how much they missed you when you left.
By the way, Huang Tao's self-criticism is still posted on the notice board in the hall. It will not be taken down until you come back and take a look at it."

Zhou Fengnian shook his head and asked, "It's meaningless to look at that. What is he doing?"

"He is still the deputy secretary, but he has been removed from his position as director. He will no longer be able to manage matters related to our project team."

Director Yan smiled and said, "Let's go to the meeting first. I'll talk to you about these things after the meeting."
