Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 318 Wife's Promotion, Leader's Visit (Subscription Request)
"Mom, where is my dad?"

Zhou Xianyang came to his new home carrying some gifts. After looking around, he didn't see his father.

Not long after living there alone, Zhou Xianyang began to regret his decision. At first, the couple was indeed a little excited, but once the excitement wore off, Zhou Xianyang and Bai Qing'an thought about coming back to live with Zhou Fengnian and his wife.

Especially the new house Zhou Fengnian was allocated, which looked much better than the courtyard house with two entrances. I heard that it was the house of a capitalist before.

This is a two-story Western-style building. The small Western-style buildings nearby were originally occupied by capitalists, some of whom were arranged to become senior cadres. In recent years, the innocence of some capitalists was restored and their assets were returned to them.

However, these capitalists did not dare to stay in the country. Not long after they returned, they sold their houses and ran away with their families.

This two-story Western-style building originally belonged to a capitalist named Lou. After being purchased by the state, it was directly given to Zhou Fengnian.

"Your dad is busy. He comes back around nine or ten these days. If you have something to tell him, you'll have to wait for a while."

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Since you are here, stay here and eat. You will have to cook for yourself when you go back."

Bai Qingan nodded happily when he heard it and said, "Then we'll bother you, Mom. Xianyang's cooking skills are not good, not even one tenth of Dad's."

Zhou Xianyang explained anxiously: "Every man has his own merits and demerits. I am not as good as my father at cooking, but I am not necessarily worse than him in other aspects."

Zhou Yan was surprised and chuckled before asking, "Oh? Then Xianyang, what can you tell me?"

Bai Qingan cheered from the side: "Yes, tell me quickly"

"."

Zhou Xianyang thought about it with a frown, but he didn't find anything that made him better than his father. His father seemed to be able to make furniture. When he was a child, he helped him make wooden toys, repair electricity, and treat illnesses.
Even if he learned those fighting skills from Zhou Fengnian, he wouldn't dare to say that he was better than him, and he couldn't say that the son beat the father.

".There will be such a day in the future."

Zhou Xianyang held it in for a long time before he uttered these words, which made Zhou Yan and Bai Qing'an laugh.

After a while, when Zhou Yiyi came back from school, the family prepared to eat.

Now the house is big enough to accommodate many people, so the organization also assigned a chef to Zhou Fengnian's family. The chef is proficient in Sichuan and Huaiyang cuisine, and his cooking skills are better than Gong Lin's.

Zhou Fengnian would sometimes discuss things with the chef and give him some pointers on cooking, which greatly benefited Master Yang.

At first, Master Yang was curious about how such a high-ranking leader could cook so well.

Later I found out that Zhou Fengnian is delicious, so I slowly taught myself the skill I have today. However, later on I was often busy and got home too late, so I didn’t try it myself.

If he makes his family wait for him to eat, they probably won’t be able to eat until 9 o’clock.

After Zhou Yiyi came back, the family prepared to have dinner; Zhou Fengnian was expected to come back very late again tonight, so Zhou Yan had already told the chef in advance to save some food for Zhou Fengnian.

However, Zhou Xianyang didn't mention moving back home until after dinner. He was a little embarrassed to say it.

You can't just take the house and then move back in, because that way he will take all the benefits.

After leaving, Bai Qing'an asked why he didn't mention that matter, but Zhou Xianyang assured him with confidence that he would do the housework and cooking in the future, so Bai Qing'an had no worries.

On the other side, in the computer assembly workshop, Zhou Fengnian and his students were staring carefully at four robots that were being tested.

Two assembly robots, a handling robot, and a manipulation robot that controls the production line.

Been running the test for a full day now, except for a few errors in the interaction at the beginning, but once corrected, it was running smoothly soon after.

Up to now, more than ten hours have passed and thousands of computer parts have been assembled without a single defect. The precision is so high that it is terrifying.

It was already dark outside, but Zhou Fengnian and his team were still in the workshop, discussing the issue of machine-environment interaction.

This is where mistakes occur most frequently. They have calculated it many times, but when it comes to the actual experiment, mistakes are still unavoidable.

"Teacher, I think it's still a problem of information input and interactive computing, and the interconnection technology of these three robots is not very good yet. It won't be obvious in a short time, but problems may arise over time."

A student spoke up and said that although the test had been going on for more than ten hours, they still couldn't say it was a stable success.

It will take at least five days of continuous operation with the error rate kept at zero to meet Zhou Fengnian's requirements.

"."

Zhou Fengnian thought for a while before speaking: "We can only do this much in terms of hardware. We can only spend more time on the control system."

The sensors of these robots are still a bit lacking. The simulators made by Zhou Fengnian in the simulation space are the best.

If an electronic component has a fluctuation of five to ten points, then the electronic components manufactured by Zhou Fengnian in the simulated space will all get full marks, while those manufactured in the real world will be four or five points lower.

If one is four or five points different, the difference will be even greater when ten are assembled. The overall performance will be different from what Zhou Fengnian made in the simulation space.

But now that we have reached this level, we can report to our leaders. At least they have achieved an unmanned production workshop.

It just doesn’t quite meet Zhou Fengnian’s requirements.

"lead."

Pan Heng walked in and interrupted Zhou Fengnian's discussion with other students. He pointed at his watch and said, "It's already ten o'clock. Do you want to stay here any longer?"

"It's already so late?"

Zhou Fengnian looked at his watch with some surprise. He didn't realize he had been working so late and it seemed like they hadn't eaten yet.

"Deputy Director Pan, can we prepare something for the night in the workshop? We need to leave a few people on duty to monitor the experiments.
Keep warm, and have beds to rest. Can we still eat in the factory? My students haven’t eaten yet.”

Pan Heng said quickly: "It's ready. I specially asked the security department to prepare a few more camp beds, and I also left two kitchen helpers in the back kitchen to help heat up the food."

"Deputy Director Pan, your work really makes people feel at ease."

Zhou Fengnian finished speaking with a smile, then turned to his students and continued, "Then let's do as we said before, leave ten people on duty at night to keep an eye on the situation, and adjust the records in time if there are any deviations. Another group of people will take over at eight o'clock tomorrow.

The rest of you can eat something and go back to rest. You guys will have some company on the road."

Twenty people went back together. Except for the joint defense team, no one dared to step forward to ask questions, and the joint defense team would not stop the graduate students who had been working overtime until now.

"is teacher."

After hearing this, all the students immediately agreed.

Afterwards, Pan Heng arranged for the kitchen staff to deliver the meals, and the security department also delivered camp beds, bedding and other items to the workshop.

In order to be on duty, they have cleared out a space in the corner and rest here at night. They just need to persist for a few days to get the test data.

After giving some instructions, Zhou Fengnian left the computer factory and went home.

He is now a big leader and does not need to stay up late with the students. What he should do is to conserve his energy and use it for other things.

When Zhou Fengnian got home, he saw Zhou Yan sitting on the sofa waiting for him. He said a little embarrassedly, "Didn't I tell you to go to bed right away? Why are you waiting so late?"

"The room is too empty. I can't sleep alone. Have you eaten?"

Zhou Yan stood up and asked. She was a little uncomfortable moving into such a big house. However, her two daughters liked it very much. They used to live in a small house, but now they each have their own room.

"Not yet. If there is, I'll eat more."

"Then I'll go heat it up for you."

After Zhou Yan finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the kitchen. After a while, she heated up the dishes for tonight and brought them out to Zhou Fengnian.

"Huaiyang cuisine, it's really good. Chef Yang's cooking skills have really improved. If he goes out, he will definitely be a famous chef in a restaurant."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he picked up the bowl and started eating.

When Zhou Fengnian had almost finished eating, Zhou Yan suddenly said, "Fengnian, the organization asked me a question today, and then I inquired about it, and it seems that I will be promoted.

But not in the factory, maybe the government mentioned that our former street office was the director.”

"Be the director of the street office? Then you will be busy. Aren't you doing a good job now?" Zhou Fengnian said after thinking for a while. Zhou Yan is also the director of the Women's Federation of the machinery factory. If she is promoted again, she will be the deputy secretary or deputy factory director.

However, she had no previous experience in managing factory production, but she did a good job in handling conflicts and organizational construction. Her transfer to be the director of the street office may have been based on these considerations.

"Wait, where are you going to be the director of the street office?"

Zhou Fengnian suddenly noticed that he seemed to have overlooked what Zhou Yan had just said.

"In the Nanluoguxiang area, the previous director of the subdistrict office was Wang Xiaoxia, but she has been transferred away. Currently, Deputy Director Gao is organizing daily work."

Zhou Yan said: "What happened half a month ago should be settled now. Today, someone from the organization came to talk to me, and he was asking me about this matter."

"You have made your decision in your heart, so I can only support you."

Zhou Fengnian smiled, then sighed and said, "What a pity! If we had known about this earlier, we wouldn't have moved. This way, we could have benefited from your help as the director."

It's convenient for commuting to get off work, and it's within the local jurisdiction. It's a pity that he moved too quickly, but the current place is not bad.

It is a coincidence that the new house was previously the house of Lou Bancheng. It was at that time that his son-in-law Xu Damao wanted to use his brother Zhou Weitian to establish his authority, and was then beaten down.

No one in the Lou family, big or small, ran away. Some other things were also discovered and they were sent down directly.

After getting rich in the past few years, I didn’t dare to stay in China for long. I sold my property and left the country directly.

These are all small Western-style buildings and high-end residences. After the last capitalist left, this place was converted into a residential area for senior officials.

However, only senior cadres at levels three and four can live here. Those at levels five and six are not even qualified to live in the two-story villa.

Zhou Fengnian thought about the distance from here to the street office and said, "If you were the director of the street office, it would take more than an hour to ride a bike every day. It would be better to leave the task of picking up Linlin to Zhou Yiyi."

"I don't think Zhou Yiyi will be happy about this, but Fengnian, do you support me becoming the director of the subdistrict office?"

Zhou Yan was a little uncertain and asked again.

"I support you if you want to do it. It's not a big deal. As for my daughter, buy her a bicycle. She will definitely be happy with it. Besides, she only needs to pick her up from school, and she doesn't have to worry about her going to school."

Zhou Fengnian smiled and said that there are chefs and nannies to take care of the cooking and cleaning at home, and the only thing he needs to worry about is his little daughter's going to and from school.

But this is not a big deal, and the organization has already talked to Zhou Yan, so can he still use his power to deny it?

"Then I will try my best. After all, the organization is considering me."

Zhou Yan said this involuntarily, almost unable to hold back her smile; she obviously wanted to do it, and the Women's Federation had less and less things to do, so being transferred to the Street Office as director would also be an opportunity.

While Zhou Fengnian was having dinner, Zhou Yan was filled with emotion. She felt that the best luck in her life might be getting married.

Before getting married, she was a broadcaster and had to give money to her family every month; but after getting married, her luck suddenly became very good.

Her husband was perfect, his position was promoted year by year, and he was a harmonious family man. They never quarreled, not even had angry eyes. He also helped her get promoted so much, from a broadcaster to the director of a street office.
After dinner, Zhou Fengnian washed up and rested with Zhou Yan.

------

The robot was tested, adjusted and optimized, and then tested again. It was then adjusted and optimized three times in total. The fourth time it finally survived five days without any errors, and Zhou Fengnian announced it as a success.

When the students heard Zhou Fengnian say "pass", they hugged each other excitedly.

They have had a very difficult time over the past month.

They almost take turns living in this production workshop and are constantly calculating and studying the causes of every error and mistake. Several students have bloodshot eyes.

It's not that I'm tired, but that I'm under too much pressure.

They have been Zhou Fengnian's students for more than a year. If they don't produce some results, they will definitely feel "speechless in front of the people of Jiangdong".

Fortunately, it is successful now.

After the entire assembly workshop was equipped with robots, the production efficiency increased by seven times!
The precision is so high that there will be no deviation or error within one hundred and twenty hours. After a batch is assembled, a handling robot will transport the computer components to the designated location.

Next, just need someone to help move it away.

A workshop only needs 28 robots to achieve five days of unmanned automatic production, and the production efficiency is increased sevenfold.

Zhou Fengnian looked at the students who were still jumping for joy in front of him, and couldn't help but stop them with a smile, saying, "Please stop being happy for a moment. Next, I will report to the leader and let him see our results.

This is just a small step for the robotics industry. We still have many directions to develop in the future, and the future development space for robotics is vast and boundless."

Zhou Fengnian's words not only boosted their morale and enthusiasm, but also made them calm down temporarily.

In the future, many industries will be inseparable from robots. Although Huaxia is just starting out, it will definitely make great strides forward and surpass Amei.

Zhou Fengnian then went to Pan Heng’s office and called his leader.

The person who answered the call was the leader's personal assistant. After learning that Zhou Fengnian was going to report, he immediately went to report to the leader.

At this time, the leader happened to be in Sijiu City. Although he had to deal with official business in the afternoon, when he heard that the robot had already produced a finished product, he immediately became interested and wanted to take a look.

This kind of thing may or may not happen, but Zhou Fengnian plans to build a computer R&D and manufacturing center in the future to put the R&D and manufacturing of Chinese robots on the right track.

The project leader of the robot project also knew that robots were used when Amei landed on the moon. He had seen them when he visited Amei a few years ago.

So the leader called Zhou Fengnian personally and told him that he would be there soon.

The news that the leader was coming to the Shenzhou Computer Factory spread quickly.

However, only the leaders of the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building and the Computer Factory knew about this. Fortunately, Liang Yongsheng and others were still excited to reorganize the factory.

He immediately asked his assistant to remind each workshop one by one that no laziness was allowed today. If the leader saw it, they would be punished.

After a busy period, Pan Heng, who was waiting at the door, also saw several cars driving towards the gate.

Just by looking at the license plate, it can be confirmed that the vehicle that came was that leader's, but Pan Heng still waited for the assistant in the car to get off and checked the ID before asking the security department to open the door.

When the convoy entered the factory, it stopped. The leader himself got out of the car, waved to Pan Heng and asked, "Comrade, you are a cadre of the computer factory, right? Where is Comrade Fengnian?"

Pan Heng quickly said, "Leader, I am Pan Heng, the deputy director of Shenzhou Computer Factory. Leader Zhou is waiting for you in the 14th workshop. I will lead you."

The leader smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your help, Comrade Pan Heng."

After hearing this, Pan Heng led the way and introduced the workshops and buildings in the factory to the leaders so that they could have a brief understanding.

After a while, the group arrived at the door of Workshop 14, which was the assembly and production workshop where Zhou Fengnian led students to test robots.

When Zhou Fengnian learned that the leader had arrived, he immediately came out and greeted him with a smile: "Leader, you are here. Come in and take a look. The robots are currently being assembled and have been doing so for a while."

"Okay, then let me see your results. A good harvest. This is much earlier than the date you promised me. It seems that you were too conservative last time. Haha..."

The leader smiled and joked that he had told him it would take two years, but he actually left so much wiggle room.

Zhou Fengnian smiled and then led the leader inside.

When entering the workshop, the leader immediately saw a scene full of technology.

There is no one in front of the automated production line, but several groups of robotic arms are performing precise dances, continuously grabbing and assembling parts.

The assembly efficiency is very fast, and the movements are as smooth as flowing water. An assembly process can be completed in just a few tens of seconds.

After the assembled products are transported to the end of the conveyor belt, they will be sorted and stacked together by the transport robots and then sent to the designated storage location.

There is no worker operating the entire process, and production is completely coordinated by robots.

The leaders opened their eyes slightly wide when they saw this scene and said in surprise: "This is robot production."
