Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 66 Great Contribution!
The machine starts working, the drill bit is processing, and debris is flying.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, layers of debris are shaved off and gradually become the shape of the processed parts.

When the time was up, the machine tool processing arm retracted. Zhou Fengnian said that he needed to wait for a while before he went forward to take down the processed parts.

After another precise measurement, Zhou Fengnian was able to confirm that the accuracy was the same as that achieved before, so he handed the parts drawing and the parts to the factory director.

"Director Li, the error is completely acceptable. It took thirteen minutes."

"Good! It's good!"

Li Zhengyang immediately spoke loudly after hearing this, then took the drawings and parts and looked at them carefully.

Although he is the factory director, he has been in charge of production for so many years and is very clear about the tasks of the front-line workers.

He also remembered that this part was sent to the machinery factory by the ministry and could only be processed by senior workers.

And because the parts are quite difficult to make, even senior craftsmen would need two to three hours to slowly polish them.

Director Li knew this. The workshop director had told him at the beginning that this task could not be rushed and would take some time.

But now, if we hand over the semi-finished parts to the new machine tool, we can process one piece in just over ten minutes, and the accuracy is almost consistent with the requirements. The error is so small that it is within the acceptable range. This is amazing.

After reading it, Director Li handed the parts and drawings to Secretary Wang beside him, and then said excitedly
"Chief Luo, Technician Zhou, please tell me about this machine tool and introduce it to me."

After hearing this, Luo Cheng tilted his head to look at Zhou Fengnian, and then said, "Director, let Fengnian speak. I'm being frank. Fengnian knows the most about this machine tool group, and he often controls the direction."

"Mr. Luo."

"I don't understand. There are some things I really don't understand. I'd better ask you to explain them to me so that I don't have to explain them in a confusing way."

Luo Cheng shook his head and didn't let Zhou Fengnian finish his words.

He is so old and has no intention of stealing the credit. Moreover, he is mainly responsible for the production and assembly of the mechanical parts, so he can give a brief introduction to this part.

But Luo Cheng was completely confused about the control system. He was not like Zhou Fengnian who knew everything.

Not only is the mechanical aspect strictly controlled, but even the people on the CNC system side admire Zhou Fengnian very much. When those people from the Sixth Institute left, the admiration on their faces for Zhou Fengnian was not fake.

"Technician Zhou, please introduce it to us."

Director Li followed Luo Cheng's meaning and said that he now also valued Zhou Fengnian.

It was this young man who had previously advocated the establishment of a CNC machine tool team. It seems that the successful manufacturing of CNC machine tools has a lot to do with Zhou Fengnian.

"Then I won't refuse, Director Li, Secretary Wang, this machine tool uses the latest generation of control system, which has the following advantages."

Zhou Fengnian quickly introduced himself to the factory leaders.

The differences and improvements of this CNC machine tool compared with previous machine tools, along with its advantages, are introduced in detail.

Low energy consumption, fast power, not easy to damage, and capable of complex processing, etc. It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is a world of difference compared to the CNC machine tool a few years ago, but it is definitely a leap forward.

“This CNC machine can only process semi-finished parts, and we plan to improve the entire production line next.

Put a semi-finished part on the production line, and a high-precision finished product can be made in one process! "After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, Director Li and Secretary Wang took the lead in applauding, and then the others followed suit.

However, I'm afraid only Luo Cheng and Director Li, who is in charge of production, understood a little bit of what Zhou Fengnian said just now, while the others applauded with a vague understanding.

"Good, well done. Each of you has made a contribution to the factory."

After Director Li finished speaking, he turned to Secretary Wang beside him and said, "Secretary Wang, I promise that our factory will definitely get a batch of meat tomorrow to reward you, the heroes of the machinery factory!"

Secretary Wang immediately said, "Director Li, you have said it, how can I not agree? Tomorrow I will use my connections to give some benefits to the comrades who have worked so hard for so long!"

"Long live the factory director! Long live the secretary!"

The workers in the workshop immediately shouted with joy, but they were stopped by the panicked factory director and secretary after just a few words, and they were told that this was what they should do.

How dare they agree to this? If they agree today, they will be criticized tomorrow.

After calming down the excited and happy workers, Director Li ordered people to protect the machine tools well, and told the security department to make this area a patrol priority at night.

From then on, not only could no one be allowed to stay at night, but patrols had to be increased more often. If there was a problem with the CNC machine tools, everyone would be criticized.

Then Director Li called Luo Cheng and Zhou Fengnian to the conference room in the factory office building, and asked his secretary to call other factory leaders.

Only after all the important leaders of the machinery factory arrived did Director Li take the initiative to preside over the meeting.

"Comrades, I suddenly called you to a meeting because I have something important to inform you. The CNC machine tool team established in our factory a few months ago has made a breakthrough today!"

Director Li said in a high-spirited tone: "Under the leadership of Chief Luo and Technician Zhou, our factory cooperated with the people from the Sixth Institute of Electronics to independently develop and manufacture the most advanced CNC machine tools in the world."

Before saying the last sentence, Director Li glanced at Zhou Fengnian.

Seeing Zhou Fengnian nod affirmatively, Director Li became confident. Their factory is now number one in the world.

After briefly introducing the data he had just heard from Zhou Fengnian to other leaders, Director Li stopped to take a break, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.

This thing has made a great contribution, and the fact that it was able to directly manufacture the world's number one machine tool without any instructions from superiors is an added bonus.

Zhou Fengnian and Luo Cheng are really his lucky generals!
Although he had no plans to move up at this age, Li Zhengyang felt that he could still try harder. After all, he was also behind the establishment of the machine tool team.

"Secretary Wang and I have just visited the workshop and found that the new CNC machine tools can operate normally and can process very difficult parts. Basically, it can be said that they are completely finished.

Let’s talk about what to do next.”

After Director Li finished speaking, he looked around. No one else spoke, only Secretary Wang spoke up. "Let's report to the department first, Director Li. Such an important matter must be made known to the leaders.
After the leaders of the ministries and commissions come to inspect, they can come to a conclusion, which is this machine tool."

Seeing Secretary Wang's eyes on him, Zhou Fengnian couldn't help but say, "It's hard to say how many days it can run continuously, but it will definitely be fine for a day or half a day. At most, you just need to pay attention to replacing the parts of the processing part."

"Okay, well done."

After Secretary Wang finished speaking, he said to Director Li, "Director Li, please report to the leaders of the ministry."
