Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 17 Zhong Cheng's Ambition

The days that followed were extremely uneventful, beyond Zhong Cheng's expectations.

Whether Director Deng of the design office or his old colleagues, no one came to trouble him, nor did he deliberately neglect him. They greeted him and were very enthusiastic when they met.

Although Zhong Cheng felt a little fake.

Zhou Hu said that he did not give the newcomer a blow, even Zhong Cheng came to the office early to help everyone make tea and clean the table, but was politely rejected.

Director Deng didn't even assign him work, so as not to make him tired.

Director Deng told him earnestly that his current job is to study, study and study again, thoroughly understand the company's management documents, and benefit for life.

Although Zhong Cheng was moved, he was suspicious, but after a few days of observation, he realized Director Deng's painstaking efforts.

There was no job assigned to him in this design studio.

In the past, when the company mainly produced military vehicles, there were many varieties of military vehicles, and the differences between the varieties were very large.

The task of the design office is very heavy, and there are many new engine design and development tasks, so that the office was full of people at that time, and it was still too busy. At one time, there were a lot of talents.

As the military vehicle business is getting less and less, the company has turned to the production of civilian trucks and vans. The engine requirements of civilian vehicles are low, and one engine can be used in many models.

There are fewer and fewer engine design and development tasks, and fewer and fewer technical developers in the design room. Competent technicians have either retired or been transferred to the company's R&D institute.

So much so that after more than ten years, this design room has lost the ability to develop new engines, and a small number of existing engine development tasks have also been transferred to the company's R&D institute.

There are only some tooling design tasks on the machine tool equipment at the production site, and the establishment of the design room is maintained, but there are very few, not enough for the current five technicians, and of course it will not be the turn of the newcomer Zhong Cheng.

After all, newcomers can use learning as an excuse not to do things, and if old employees don't do things, the company will have to consider whether to let you change jobs.

Although Director Deng didn't say this clearly, Zhong Cheng still found out and expressed his understanding.

But at the same time, he also discovered that the craft room of the technical department next door was very busy, and the craft room was overcrowded in an office of the same size.

Moreover, the technicians in the craft room are mainly young people. There are constant calls in the office all day long, and there is an endless stream of branch factory personnel who come to the office to work. Discussions, arguments, and even quarrels keep coming and going, like a vegetable market.

It is in stark contrast to the desolation of the design office.

Director Deng patiently explained to him that the work in the craft room is too childish and has no technical content, so don't envy them.

To put it simply, the work of the process room is to interpret the design drawings of the design room, convert them into technical process documents that can be understood and executed by the on-site personnel of the sub-factory, and be responsible for guiding and supervising the production of the sub-factory in strict accordance with the process.

And these tasks are very cumbersome. The on-site is to replace a piece of equipment, or adjust the position of a piece of equipment on the production line, or even change the processing parameters of a piece of equipment. The process must be changed and verified. The people in the craft room have always been like this "fuss".

Director Deng expressed his disdain.

He said that with Zhong Cheng's ability, it would be a waste to go to the craft room, and the technicians in the craft room could barely be regarded as skilled workers, even the technical ability of the technicians in the branch factory was not as good.

He was dubious about Director Deng's words, he was still working anyway, but he was alone in the design room.

But it doesn't matter.

Because he has his own ideas, the leisure in the design room just provides the conditions.

Zhong Cheng has ambitions, and the ambitions are very big.

Ever since he decided not to live a mediocre life, he wanted to make a little contribution to the development of Huaxia's heavy industry, a big contribution.

Because of the one-month time at the workshop site, he saw a big problem.

The general trend of CNC automatic processing equipment replacing ordinary manual equipment has been irreversible.

The ordinary equipment production line in the workshop not only has many personnel, low efficiency, and product quality varies from person to person, but also the operating intensity of the operators is very high.

Workers need to pick and place crankshafts weighing tens of kilograms hundreds of times every day. Manual operation of equipment also requires physical strength and high concentration. Quality problems will occur if there is a slight slack.

It’s okay for the old workers to get used to it, but the new workers are miserable. A large number of people apply and find connections to transfer from the front line, and the company cannot recruit new workers.

Therefore, the company has formulated the development policy of gradually introducing and using numerical control equipment and eliminating ordinary equipment in the past few years.

The current CNC equipment production line in the crankshaft production workshop is the pilot production line of the company's CNC transformation.

If the pilot is successful, it will be promoted in the crankshaft production line or even the whole company.

This requires a lot of money...

(PS: The investment in heavy industry is large, and the return is small and slow. It has always been a big problem. Hundreds of millions of yuan have been invested, and sometimes they can’t afford one. Private capital is not willing to invest in heavy industry.)
The official name of the CNC equipment production line is the K19 line, but the workers jokingly call it the "Eight-Power Allied Forces Line".

Because the more than [-] sets of CNC equipment in this CNC production line come from many countries, mainly from Deman, Meili, and Dongyang, and there are even equipment from Tianzhu and Great Korea, but there is no China country. device of.

When Zhong Cheng learned about this situation, he was completely irritated.

I was stimulated once when I went to the K19 line. This is not a pilot production line. This is a monument of shame!

It reminds Zhong Cheng from time to time that as a Huaxia industrialist, he still has a long way to go, and he is far from being complacent.

What kind of "world manufacturing power" earns hard money!
In heavy industry, the manufacture of high-end machine tool equipment that really makes money is basically dominated by foreigners.

The high profit is unimaginable for laymen. A domestically-made CNC crankshaft cylindrical grinder of the same model only costs about 100 million, while Dongyang’s will cost more than 1000 million, and Deman’s equipment is more than 2000 million. There is no market for the price, and domestic automakers line up to buy.

But the most hateful thing is that the equipment they sell to us is not the most advanced, and the most advanced high-precision equipment is banned from sale in China.

The so-called 'most advanced' imported equipment in the domestic market is often the 'most advanced' abroad two or three decades ago.

In the past, that's fine, he didn't have the ability.

Now that there is a 'Daguo Heavy Industry System', Chung Sung doesn't want this to continue.

For the rise of Huaxia, the first thing he decided to do was to design and manufacture Huaxia's own industrial mother machine, which surpassed the world's top level industrial mother machine.

With this kind of industrial mother machine, the first machine tool equipment can be manufactured, no longer controlled by others, and no longer taken advantage of by others.

Huaxia's heavy industry will make a qualitative leap, and all industrial systems will benefit.

Zhong Cheng's ambition is not insignificant.

(PS: In fact, there is no term "industrial master machine" in the industrial system. Industrial master machine is a non-professional term uploaded on the Internet, which means a machine that manufactures machines. Because this article is also an online novel, I borrowed this term. Don't dwell on it.)
