Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 81 Mission Completion Celebration (Subscription Request)
"Be careful, be careful, this is the last one, don't make any mistakes!"

In the machine tool workshop, Luo Cheng shouted loudly to remind everyone.

He is in his fifties and is particularly excited when he is about to complete the task.

This kind of reminder has been repeated several times in the past three months, but every time a machine tool is assembled, Luo Cheng will repeat it several times.

Professor Feng has said several times: "This old fellow Luo Cheng is getting younger and younger."

As the end of the year approaches, the weather is getting colder, but it still can't stop the workers from working hard.

Especially since we were rewarded for completing the tasks in the previous times, this year the machinery factory was prominently featured in the ministries and commissions, and was promoted on the radio several times.

By the end of 1962, the supply of materials was gradually restored, and the ration in the city had returned to 90% of the previous level. Most people were looking forward to the closing of the factories and a good harvest year.

The machine tool parts were assembled carefully, and when the assembly was completed, a burst of cheerful and warm cheers rang out in the workshop.

"Done! The last unit was assembled successfully!"

"Lao Wang, why are you shouting? We haven't tested it yet. Don't celebrate too early."

"We have installed ten of them, and we have gained experience a long time ago. There will definitely be no problem with this one."

“Finally completed the mission”

Various celebratory discussions were heard in the workshop. The last CNC machine tool was successfully assembled and everyone was very happy.

I can have a peaceful new year.

Zhou Fengnian and Luo Cheng went forward to check it immediately. In fact, they had already checked it before assembly. Even when they were tightening the last screw, neither of them took their eyes off it.

But finally start the test.

Turn on the power, enter the parameters, and then put in the semi-finished parts.

buzz
Soon the sound of parts being processed could be heard from the machine tool, and everyone in the workshop crowded forward, wanting to see the success of the last machine tool.

As the finished parts appeared after processing, warm celebrations rang out again in the workshop.

"It's done! The last one is done!"

"Finally I completed the task. I was exhausted during this period."

"Other workshops have it so easy, they don't have to work so hard as us"

This is true. In order to test the operation of the CNC machine tools, Luo Cheng assigned many high-precision parts processing tasks to the CNC machine tools.

This made the senior workers in other workshops feel more relaxed. There were only so many difficult tasks, and they were all given to the machine tool workshop, so they naturally had nothing to do.

Doing some tasks for an intermediate worker and giving guidance to apprentices, the day passed by like this.

On the contrary, the senior workers in the machine tool workshop worked until the last day.

"Engineer Luo, let's do the same as before. Run it for a few hours to see how it goes. If there are no problems, put all the other machines away and wait for the leader's instructions."

Zhou Fengnian came close to Luo Cheng and continued, "Talk to the leader. I think there will be no problem. You can hand in the task tomorrow."

After completing the task a few days before closing time, they can now relax for a while.

At this time, everything is planned. After they complete the planned tasks, there is basically nothing to do and they can rest assured.

Luo Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on it. You go report to the factory leaders."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Luo."

After Zhou Fengnian finished speaking, he arranged the things at hand and then walked towards the factory office building.

Every part of the machine tool is strictly inspected, and the assembly is done step by step. The final running test is just for peace of mind.

The leader Zhou Fengnian had to report to was Deputy Director Gao. After he took charge of the technical department, he had become the first deputy director of the factory.

Zhang Anhong is now honest and basically never leaves the office, and he is rarely seen in the factory.

Without the technical department and having been punished, Zhang Anhong's actual power is not as great as that of some factory directors.

Zhou Fengnian also heard from Zhou Yan that even Xue Peihua had become much more at ease and no longer acted arrogantly and asked others to do work for her.

dong dong!

"Come in."

When Zhou Fengnian heard the shouting from inside, he pushed the door and walked in.

Deputy Director Gao, who was working at his desk, looked up and saw that the person coming was Zhou Fengnian, so he stood up and said, "Technician Zhou is here, sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water."

"Director Gao, you don't have to be so polite. I'm here to report my mission."

Zhou Fengnian waved his hand and said that since the leader was giving him face, he couldn't just hold it like that, so he took the initiative to step forward and take the thermos.

After pouring himself a glass of water, he refilled the glass for Deputy Director Gao.

Then he said, "Leader, the ministry's tasks have all been completed, and there are no major problems with the running test. No problems have been found with the latest one so far."

"Okay, well done."

After hearing this, Deputy Director Gao said with a delighted look: "Finally I have received your good news, Technician Zhou, you didn't know.

The closer it gets to the end of the year, the more worried I feel. Now I can finally rest assured, haha."

Zhou Fengnian also smiled and said, "Leader, now all the machine tools are in the workshop. If there is no problem, we will seal them up. What are the arrangements of the ministry?"

"Well, I'm not sure, but I think they should be sent away before the New Year."

After taking over the technical department, Deputy Director Gao also went to the First Ministry of Machine Building to attend several meetings, but there is no need for him to talk about the content of the meetings.

"Don't worry, I'll call the department leader to report this, and someone will probably take over within a day or two.

Let the security department work hard for the next two days. Technician Zhou, you guys in the technical department should also work hard and check twice a day."

Zhou Fengnian nodded and said, "Leader, don't worry."

Deputy Director Gao nodded and then said, "There won't be any tasks before the New Year. You've been tired for a long time, so take a good rest during the time before the deadline."

"By the way, I've prepared an extra gift for you and Engineer Luo this year. Don't tell anyone else, Technician Zhou."

Zhou Fengnian laughed and said, "Of course, I will take it home quietly when the time comes."

"You don't have to take it home. I'll have the logistics staff deliver it to you and Chief Luo. I remember you live with Chief Luo, right? I'll send it to you both when the time comes."

Deputy Director Gao said that by the end of the year, his purchasing department had also completed a number of unplanned tasks.

It can be used to win over subordinates.

"Okay, I'll go back first if there's nothing else. Director Gao, you can just call me Fengnian from now on. Technician Zhou is too polite."

Zhou Fengnian stood up and said that he had nothing to do after reporting the task, and this deputy factory director was much easier to deal with than Zhang Anhong.

After hearing this, Deputy Director Gao smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll be generous and call you Fengnian in private from now on." After Zhou Fengnian left the office, he called the leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building to report the good news.

After hanging up the phone, Deputy Director Gao smiled, then shook his head and said, "He could force such a sensible subordinate to turn against him. What was Zhang Anhong thinking? Haha."

Knowing the limits is one thing, but the main thing is being able to earn credit for your leader.

Every time a phone call is made and reported, even if it has nothing to do with him, as long as he is the leader in charge, he can get a share of the credit.

Only a fool like Zhang Anhong would do such a thing.

--------

After the good news reached the Ministry of First Machine Building, a leader drove over the next day.

"Well, you did a good job. At this year-end summary meeting within the ministry, your Second Machinery Factory will be highlighted for praise."

When Li Hetong saw the ten neatly arranged machine tools in the workshop, the smile on his face seemed to be locked and never stopped.

Last month, the First Ministry of Machine Building sent information about CNC machine tools to several places in the northwest and northeast that needed machine tools, and soon received replies hoping that several machine tools could be delivered immediately.

The ministries also received instructions from higher levels to immediately transport the machine tools to several places in the northwest after they were manufactured.

There is a great need for CNC machine tools that can process high-precision parts, and there are not enough senior workers.

Deputy Director Gao came closer and said, "Minister Li, our factory's transportation team is ready. You decide where to send it."

"We won't be using your factory's transport team this time. The minister has contacted them and a military transport team will be coming to deliver the machine tools this afternoon."

Li Hetong shook his head and said that the transportation location was confidential and he didn't know where it was exactly, so he could only hand it over to the army for transportation.

However, just based on this machine tool, their Ministry of Machine Building will be the most glorious at the end of this year.

Things like the Ministry of Metallurgy’s steel production has increased by so much are not as good as what one of the world’s top CNC machine tools says.

Moreover, after the First Ministry of Machine Building visited the machinery factory for research three months ago, it went back to collect information in this regard.

The West did invent CNC machine tools earlier than them, but it is hard to say how efficient they are after all, I haven't heard of them having widely adopted them.

If it was the CNC machine tool from a few years ago, it would definitely not be as efficient as the one developed and manufactured by Zhou Fengnian, even after the Westerners upgraded it, it is hard to say.

"That's great! You've made the First Ministry of Machine Building look good in front of other departments."

Li Hetong took a look around and saw eleven CNC machine tools neatly arranged in the workshop. The first one would remain in the machinery factory, and the other ten would all be transported away.

This task, which was completed years ago, made the highest-ranking person praise us with a smile. Needless to say, they were all beaming with joy.

"Huh? Oh, by the way, where's that Xiao Zhou from last time?"

Li Hetong looked around and suddenly found that someone was missing, so he asked, "This little guy patted his chest and promised to complete the task last time, and he really did it. Let me have a good chat with him today."

After hearing this, Director Li turned his head and looked at Deputy Director Gao, who immediately said, "It's almost noon now, Xiao Zhou should be busy in the cafeteria.

Minister, you also know that Xiao Zhou is a good cook. After the mission was completed, we wanted to reward the professors and students who came to support us, so Xiao Zhou cooked for us personally. "

"Yes, now that you mention it, I remember that Xiao Zhou's cooking skills are better than the chefs in the ministry."

Li Hetong nodded and said with a smile: "Minister Zhang and I both praised the food we had last time. Can I have a free meal today?"

Deputy Director Gao quickly said, "Minister, see what you said, it's been prepared a long time ago. Xiao Zhou just heard that you were coming, so he went to the kitchen to prepare it."

Although it doesn't make sense for a technician to go to the kitchen, and it's working hours now.

But the tasks planned before the New Year have been completed ahead of schedule. Even if all the people in the technical department were asked to stay in the office, there would be no tasks for them to do, so they just did what they wanted.

"Comrade Xiao Zhou is young and capable. I heard that he has made a lot of contributions to this machine tool. He is a rare talent."

Li Hetong was halfway through his words when the people in the machinery factory suddenly became alert, especially Deputy Director Gao.

It's only been a few months since he got his blessing, and now he wants to snatch it away?
"Leader, Xiao Zhou is indeed capable, but he still needs to hone his skills."

Deputy Director Gao immediately responded, "Last time he reported to me that he was planning to continue to manufacture 24 production lines. I thought about it and it was indeed possible. The factory can support him."

Li Zhengyang, the factory director, also said: "That's right. This machine tool is only half of his plan. There are still many things to be solved."

"You guys, you have so many little tricks up your sleeve. Aren't you just afraid that I will transfer him away?"

Li Hetong pointed and said that he really had the same thought just now.

After all, a factory is a place for production, and R&D and manufacturing are not its main business.

However, as soon as he expressed this idea, he was choked by two subordinates. If he forced the transfer, he didn't know how these two people would complain.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later."

Li Hetong looked at the time and said, "It's almost time for dinner. Let Xiao Zhou eat with me today. I have something to ask him."

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to talk to him right away."

After Deputy Director Gao finished speaking, he sent someone to the kitchen to find Zhou Fengnian.

Zhou Fengnian had just come out of the kitchen and was chatting with Professor Feng, Professor Xie and Tsinghua students in a small private room in the cafeteria.

He found that today's college students are quite capable, so he planned to win over these college students who are about to graduate.

Although the allocation is unified, the wishes of the college students themselves will also be taken into consideration. If they are all interested, the factory can step in.

Zhou Fengnian’s next plan will require talents from the electrical engineering department.

Although he has a proficiency system, simulation space, and electronic programming abilities, he is just one person and cannot handle so many things.

If he worried about everything like Zhuge Liang, not only would he be inefficient, but he might also be exhausted.

Therefore, Zhou Fengnian wanted to use the university as a starting point to attract more talents.

By the way, we will continue to establish a joint R&D team. Tsinghua University certainly has no shortage of partners, but the machinery factory is definitely the best choice.

There were thirteen dishes on the table, seven meat and six vegetable. Everyone was eating happily. Today's dishes were better than any they had eaten before.

Zhou Fengnian didn't eat much. He kept talking to the two professors about the future, and the conversation was quite pleasant.

However, Deputy Director Gao's secretary knocked on the door and came in, whispering a few words into Zhou Fengnian's ear, who nodded.

Then Zhou Fengnian turned around and said, "Teacher Xie, Teacher Feng, something happened over there, I have to leave for a while."

"Okay, Xiao Zhou, go ahead and do your work. We still have plenty of time. We'll talk in the afternoon."

Professor Feng smiled and said, "You also cooked such a meal for us. You have worked so hard today."

After hearing this, others said something like "Thank you, Technician Zhou".

Zhou Fengnian waved his hand and said it was his duty, then left the small box.

Today he is going to change from Technician Zhou to Chef Zhou.
