Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 67 The big boss comes to the factory

Several cars slowly drove into the Machinery Department and stopped in front of the factory office building.

The factory director, secretary and other factory leaders were already waiting in front of the factory office building.

After the old man got off the car, Director Li stepped forward and said, "Minister Zhang, welcome to our office."

"Li Zhengyang, you have become slippery in the past few years in the factory. Stop talking so much useless stuff and take me to see the surprises in your factory first."

Minister Zhang interrupted Director Li directly and didn't give him any face at all; but judging from his tone, they had a very good relationship in private.

So much so that Minister Zhang didn't care much about being polite and said directly: "Li Hetong and I came here this time. If we don't see anything that satisfies us, don't blame us for not leaving."

Director Li quickly said, "Don't worry, I'm sure the leaders will be satisfied."

Minister Zhang looked around and didn't see Luo Cheng, so he asked, "Where is Engineer Luo? I remember he is in charge of the technical department of your factory, right?

This research on machine tools must have something to do with Luo Gong, right? You actually acted on your own and only reported to the ministry after the research and manufacturing was successful."

"Chief Luo went to the machine tool workshop ahead of time. He and Technician Zhou have been watching the workshop almost every day recently. They were also testing the new machine tool today."

Director Li pointed the way ahead and gave a detailed introduction to the machine tool team while leading the way.

It was difficult to explain it clearly over the phone before, but now the distance from the factory office building to the new workshop is enough for Director Li to explain the matter in detail.

After listening to this, Minister Zhang paused for a moment and said, "From what you said, this Technician Zhou is quite talented. Can he even contact the Sixth Institute of Electronics Research?"

Director Li nodded and said, "Yes, in order to study CNC machine tools, he also taught himself to develop transistors and integrated circuit boards, and these two things seemed to be favored by the Sixth Institute of Electronics.

If those people hadn't agreed, Minister Zhang, I wouldn't have had the courage to agree to research new machine tools with a factory. That would have been too aggressive."

Minister Zhang nodded and said, "Fortunately you agreed. You must be very happy now."

"Haha, it's still the old leader who understands me."

Director Li said with a smile, and naturally he felt the same as Minister Zhang said. Their factory had made such a great contribution, and it was the machine tool team that he supported and established.

Are you going to cry if you are unhappy?
Soon, the group arrived at the machine tool workshop, and Minister Zhang immediately saw the security personnel outside.

Upon seeing this, Director Li stepped forward and explained, "This workshop is quite remote. Although the news has been blocked, it is still safer to have the security department patrol more often."

"Yes, there is no harm in being careful. You did a good job."

Minister Zhang nodded with satisfaction. It is better to be cautious these days. The unskilled and the spy don't want to see them rise at any time.

Whenever there is anything worthy of their attention, the bedbugs and rats will go crazy and cause destruction.

The group entered the workshop and soon attracted the attention of Luo Cheng and Zhou Fengnian.

There are not many people in the factory. After the task was completed, only people from the technical department stayed here, also to maintain confidentiality.

Director Li called two people over and said, "Chief Luo, Technician Zhou, this is Director Zhang and Li Hetong. We are here to see your achievements."

"Minister Zhang, Li Hetong, you came at the right time. Fengnian and I are testing the processing complexity and precision of the machine tool."

As Luo Cheng spoke, he handed several finished parts that had just been processed to Minister Zhang.

"Minister, look, these are the parts that our factory has recently received that require high precision. They have all been processed, and the precision errors are very low."

After hearing this, Minister Zhang took it and looked at it. He was not a professional, so he just felt the smoothness of the surface of the part, and then handed it to Li Hetong beside him. After looking at the part, Minister Zhang began to ask questions again.

However, most of the following questions were answered by Zhou Fengnian.

For example, how many parts can be produced in a day, how much the efficiency has been improved, and things like safety and stability.

During the initial research and development stage, Zhou Fengnian deliberately made the machine tool's processing parts rotate in a variety of ways in order to process very complex parts.

So far, more than a dozen parts have been tested, and they tested all the parts that the machinery factory had previously received as tasks.

The result is that it can be completely processed.

And the effect is fast and the precision is high!
A task that would normally take the entire factory's senior workers one or two months to complete can now be completed in three or four days using this machine tool.

The efficiency will be increased by dozens of times.

Zhou Fengnian knew that the leaders of the ministries and commissions who came did not have much professional knowledge, so he used more obvious metaphors to introduce the new machine tools.

World-class, high efficiency, high precision, improving industrial development in various fields, etc.
This machine tool can achieve the precision that even an eighth-level worker cannot achieve. In the future, other CNC machine tools can also be made to create a complete production line.

"Well, Comrade Zhou said it very well!"

After listening to this, Minister Zhang's tone was the same as Li Zhengyang's yesterday, and they were both a little excited: "We not only want to become the world's number one, but also make others unable to catch up."

"Well, this machine tool is just the beginning. Technician Zhou, you still have to work harder and try to realize what you just drew for Lao Zhang and me."

Li Hetong also said with a smile that he had originally had some complaints about Zhang Fuguo asking him to come along.

How could the chief and deputy leaders put down their work and do one thing?
But after seeing this latest CNC machine tool, he felt that the trip was worth it.

The Second Machinery Factory is a large factory directly under the ministry that pays special attention. The confidential tasks assigned to the Second Machinery Factory are extremely difficult to complete and can only be completed by senior workers.

But now one machine tool can complete all the processes, which is equivalent to dozens of level 8 workers working together.

If other small factories were equipped with such a machine tool, wouldn't they be able to produce all kinds of parts?

If it’s difficult to train eighth-level workers, is it even more difficult to build machine tools?

Li Hetong asked: "Chief Luo, Technician Zhou, what are the drawings of this machine tool?"

Zhou Fengnian said: "Don't worry, Li Hetong, the drawings are in Engineer Luo's office, locked in a cabinet.

And when we came out, the door was locked, and there were three people on duty in the technical department."

"Well, that's good. How many blueprints do you have?"

Luo Cheng said: "There is only one copy at the moment, because all the drawings were drawn by Zhou Fengnian alone, and I only contributed a little. The last part drawing was just drawn half a month ago."

"Oh? Technician Zhou drew the blueprints by himself?"

After hearing what Luo Cheng said, not only Li Hetong was stunned, but even Minister Zhang looked surprised.

They thought that this CNC machine tool was researched and manufactured by the joint efforts of many people, but from what Luo Cheng said, it seemed that Zhou Fengnian researched it alone?
"Li Zhengyang, you have to protect this machine tool for me. If there is any damage, I will come to you."

After Minister Zhang finished speaking, he turned to Luo Cheng and Zhou Fengnian and said with a smile:
"Chief Luo, Technician Zhou, we have almost understood the machine tools. Let's have a meeting next."
