Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 129: After the Eagle Sauce, the Chicken Foot Basin (Subscription Request)

"Yang Ning, please tell me the problem you found. Let's discuss it now and see if we can come up with a feasible improvement plan."

After Professor Dong introduced everyone, he asked everyone to sit down and hurriedly spoke to Yang Ning.

"After listening to your explanation of the prospects of CNC machine tools, the school has taken it very seriously and immediately organized people to conduct research. I didn't expect that there would still be so many problems in the end."

After the dean sat down, he smiled and said to Yang Ning: "But we are not afraid of problems. After all, we have no experience in this area. As long as we can make some improvements next time, it will be progress. I believe we can definitely develop our own CNC machine tools."

"Yang Ning, you are one of us too. Do you want to join the design team this time? Otherwise, you are not qualified to be a teacher!"

"It's been more than a year, almost two years. Look, you've only attended a few days of classes, and most of them were for the boss."

The dean noticed that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, so he looked at Yang Ning and joked.

After hearing what the dean said, the other three also looked at Yang Ning. If Yang Ning could join in, their design progress would be much faster, and even if there were any problems, they could be discovered and solved in time.

To avoid this kind of situation from happening again, after the design is completed and someone does the calculation, they find all the problems. It looks like we have to start over again!
But considering Yang Ning's work, they were a little worried about whether Yang Ning could handle it.

"No problem, but there are a lot of things to do in the institute, and I can only spare a little time every day."

Yang Ning did not refuse. The reason why he came here in person with the information was because of this plan.

It is said that if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools.

If we can raise our machine tool technology to an advanced level, even on a small scale, it will facilitate research in other areas in the future.

"No problem, as long as you can join us, we can do it with confidence and boldness, to avoid the situation today." Seeing that Yang Ning agreed so readily, the dean said happily.

Next, Yang Ning pointed out the problems in their previous designs. The other people also made improvements on these problems, and from time to time they brought out their own improved plans for Yang Ning to calculate.

Yang Ning also took the opportunity to propose some structural layouts and technologies for future CNC machine tools, especially servo motors.

Although we have introduced the servo motor technology from Big Brother before, as we all know, Big Brother's technology is indeed fast and easy to use, but when it comes to some delicate work, Big Brother's equipment technology is really not good at this aspect.

Yang Ning simply took out the servo motor technology invented by the late engineer Mitsuyuki Fukuda a few years later. This servo motor is much better than the old one in terms of cost and precision.

In the original history, in the 1970s and 1980s, we still had to rely on importing this kind of motor from Jiaobenji.

Of course it wasn’t that we couldn’t make it at the time, but that people talked to us about patents.

Now that Yang Ning has brought out this motor, he also means that he doesn't want the chicken to take advantage of us in the future.

If we can apply for a Western patent, we might be able to earn a lot of foreign exchange.

In the future, in order to take advantage of us, Foot Basin Chicken will even sell us their toilets as advanced equipment. It's simply...

Everyone present was an expert in this field. Yang Ning simply explained the principle and structure of the motor and drew a simple structural diagram on paper, and they understood the benefits of this motor.

"You came up with this motor in such a short time?"

Before Professor Xia switched to computer research, he studied electrical engineering seriously. After seeing the drawings, he looked at Yang Ning in surprise and asked.

"How is that possible?" Yang Ning quickly waved his hands to deny it.

Although it is true that I thought about it for a while and thought of the technology of the foot basin chicken a few years later, and copied it directly, but if it is really said, it would be too discouraging. "I designed this motor after I designed the electric car before, and I wanted to continue to improve it. I just designed it not long ago." Yang Ning said embarrassedly.

After Yang Ning modified the electric car, people nearby who had the means began to modify their own bicycles. During this period, people riding electric cars could often be seen in this area. After all, there was no shortage of people who knew the technology in this area.

Seeing Yang Ning's embarrassed look, everyone else laughed.

They also know who is responsible for the frequent sightings of young boys whizzing by on modified electric bikes.

After laughing, Professor Dong looked at Yang Ning with satisfaction and said, "This motor should also be used in machine tool manufacturing, right?"

It wasn't easy. Yang Ning finally remembered his major. Ever since Yang Ning graduated, people who knew him still thought he graduated from the Department of Mathematics or the Department of Materials. This made Yang Ning's teacher feel very embarrassed.

"Not only that, if the size is adjusted appropriately, it can even be used on computers. The performance of this motor can not only solve the problem of stable computer operation, but also greatly improve the human-machine effect of the computer." Professor Xia also said.

The dean also realized the importance of this motor at this time, and said to the few people, "Please keep it confidential. You will make up a confidentiality agreement afterwards."

Of course, this is not said to Yang Ning. Yang Ning now has the highest authority in the field of scientific research. After all, all previous research data had to be handed over to him for processing.

Professor Dong and the others nodded. They had no bad thoughts as they had encountered many such things before.

"Yang Ning, you should also come up with detailed drawings as soon as possible, otherwise the research on CNC machine tools will not be able to proceed."

The dean saw that everyone agreed, then looked at Yang Ning and said.

After all, CNC machine tools cannot function without servo motors. The research on control systems is designed based on servo motors.

"I know." Yang Ning nodded. Seeing that everyone was so serious, he smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. Given our current situation, even if this motor is produced, we won't be able to use much of it. We might even have to exchange it with Big Brother."

After all, we are so poor now. Don’t the people above us know that servo motors are good?
Of course I knew, but we really couldn’t afford it at the time.

This is also one of the reasons why CNC machine tools were not promoted in our country in the next 20 to 30 years. After all, this thing is really expensive!

"That's why we have to be more careful about keeping it secret. Otherwise, if Big Brother gets the blueprint in advance, they will just take advantage of us!"

"Dean, do you think we can use this design to apply for a Western patent so that we can earn foreign exchange from them?" Yang Ning asked tentatively.

After all, this set of servo motors is just a matter of ideas. If you have the idea and a little industrial capability, you can make it.

Even if we keep it a secret well, it will still be stolen by others.

"This is a bit difficult. We don't recognize other people's patents, and it's difficult for them to recognize our patents!" said the dean after thinking for a while.

"But I will raise this with the higher-ups to see if there is any solution."

Then the dean carefully put away the drawings, then stood up and looked at the watch: "Okay, it's getting late, let's stop here tonight and don't let it affect tomorrow's work."

After hearing this, the others looked at the sky, then stood up and said goodbye.

　I have written 4,000 words today. I was feeling sleepy on the train. I will be home tonight and will resume writing 6,000 words tomorrow.
