Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 134 CNC Machine Tool Assembly and Testing (Subscription Request)

After Yang Ning left the shooting range, he no longer cared about this matter.
As February comes and the Spring Festival is getting closer, the development of CNC machine tools has entered a critical moment.

Don’t think this speed is outrageous. In history, in the absence of any data, a dozen teachers and students developed the X53K1 in just nine months.

Because the school attached greater importance to it this time, six research groups were set up, with more than 50 people involved in the research and development. With Yang Ning also involved, and with the previous design experience, it is no surprise that the progress is so fast.

In order to give this Spring Festival gift to our mother in time for the Spring Festival, not only the teachers and students who participated in the project at school, but even Yang Ning was often busy until midnight before he could go home.

"Yang Ning, take a quick look. We have designed all the parts. Can you see if there is any problem with the overall structure?"

As soon as Yang Ning arrived at the CNC machine tool laboratory, Professor Dong came over with a design drawing, looking excited.

"Let me see." Yang Ning took the drawing, walked to a table and sat down.

After seeing Yang Ning, the dean and several other professors also gathered around.

The dean urged, "Hurry up and take a look. If there are no problems, we will start assembling it. We will get off work overtime tonight and test the machine tomorrow."

"Hello!" Yang Ning smiled after hearing what the dean said: "You guys are really trying hard. Are you planning to stay here tonight?"

"How can we not be anxious? The Spring Festival is almost here. If we don't hurry up, we don't know if we can catch up?" said the dean.

Seeing that they looked impatient, Yang Ning picked up the drawings and started looking at them.

From material data to mechanical structure, from control circuit to balance parameters, Yang Ning calculated everything and found no problems.

This design is the best design under our current conditions.

"How is it?" Seeing Yang Ning put down the drawings, the dean looked at Yang Ning nervously and asked.

"There are no errors in the data, and the mechanical structure is consistent with the data. There are no problems."

"Great!"

As soon as Yang Ning finished speaking, the teachers and students all jumped up with joy.

It’s not easy. In order to research this machine tool, they stayed in school day and night to work overtime when other teachers and students went home to prepare for the New Year. Wasn’t it just for this moment?

"Don't get excited yet. We haven't done any assembly testing yet. If something goes wrong during the test, then this design will only remain on paper."

"Everyone, please work hard tonight so that we can test the machine tomorrow!"

The dean quickly stopped the teachers and students from celebrating and shouted.

"There is only one step left in the Long March. We must not fail at this last step. The closer we get to the final moment, the more we must not relax."

"Okay!" the teachers and students said in unison, then took the drawings handed over by the dean and returned to their posts.

"Dean, Professor Dong, if everything is ok, I will go back first."

Judging from their posture, Yang Ning was sure that they were planning to fight until dawn tonight.

Yang Ning didn't dare to do that, otherwise the data processing office would have to close early tomorrow.

The dean and his colleagues also expressed their understanding. Professor Dong looked at Yang Ning and said with satisfaction: "Since you graduated, you have rarely produced any results in the field of mechanics, but you have produced results in the field of materials one after another. In addition, the nature of your work makes me embarrassed to tell others that you are my student."

"Now it's good. You finally have something to show for your mechanical work."

Yang Ning was not convinced when he heard this: "I have made many achievements in the field of machinery. For example, the design of the well-drilling equipment was not immediately promoted, but after the steel problem was solved in the past few years, didn't they start to set up well-drilling teams in various places?"

"The diesel engines designed for well drilling have long been used in the field of agricultural transportation. Based on this, many agricultural hand-held tractor factories have been established."

"Besides, I also designed a four-roller steel rolling mill!"

"How dare you say these things? Those designs were made before you graduated. You changed your career right after graduation!" Professor Dong rolled his eyes at Yang Ning.

The dean stood by and watched the teacher and student bickering with a smile on his face, without any intention of getting involved.

"I also designed the Jinggangshan car. This should be the design made after graduation, right?" Yang Ning looked at Professor Dong aggrievedly.

"What the hell, did you design the Jinggangshan car?"

After hearing what Yang Ning said, Professor Dong stared at Yang Ning and asked in disbelief.

It's no wonder that Professor Dong didn't know about it. After all, except for the external department, everyone else had only seen this car in the newspaper.

In addition, the existence of Yang Ning was intentionally concealed, so everyone only knew that this car was made by Second Automobile Works. As for who the designer was, not many people knew it except the leaders of Second Automobile Works.

"Haha~" The dean saw Professor Dong's surprised look and said with a smile: "Yes, I can testify that the car was indeed designed by Yang Ning. I also heard it from the president by accident."

"But to be honest, I was quite surprised at the time. I didn't expect Yang Ning to be able to design such an advanced car."

"Hey! You are really good. You finally remembered your major."

After hearing the dean's words, Professor Dong looked at Yang Ning and the smile on his face deepened.

"Okay, I know you can play a greater role in other areas, so I just want you to spend more time on mechanics in the future."

"With your ability, you should be able to change the current backward situation of our manufacturing industry." Professor Dong finally sighed and a trace of regret appeared on his face.

After all, Yang Ning is the most talented student he has ever taught. Even if his innovative ability is not outstanding, with the blessing of future experience, he is still excellent in Professor Dong's eyes.

"I'll try my best." Yang Ning could only answer Professor Dong at this time.

"Why did you come back so early today?" When Yang Ning came home, Hu Yinghong, who was still cooking, asked in confusion when she saw him come back so early.

"The project at school is about to be completed, and there is nothing for me to do anymore, so I came back a little early." Yang Ning put down his bag and slumped down on the sofa without even washing his face.

"That's fine. Seeing you've been so busy during this period, I'm a little worried that your body won't be able to handle it."

Hu Yinghong walked behind Yang Ning, looked at his tired face, stood behind him and helped him press his head.

After a while, Yang Ning lay on the sofa and snored softly.

Hu Yinghong took a quilt and gently covered him with it, then gently stroked his face, a trace of heartache flashing across her face.

Although she could understand Yang Ning's work, she still felt distressed when she saw him like this. After all, he was her husband and the father of her children!
