Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 32 R&D Center
"Boss, in the Nuwa industrial master machine, the knives, servers, and air-conditioning and refrigeration systems are purchased as expensive components, accounting for 68.52% of the cost, which is about 205 million. If the R&D Institute can provide it, the cost will be reduced to less than 100 million. no problem."

Zhong Cheng brainstormed and quickly came up with a solution, because he estimated that the research and development institute for knives, servers, air-conditioning and refrigeration systems should have ready-made ones.

He added: "Furthermore, carbide tools are used on Nuwa industrial mother machines. The hardness and precision of the tool material itself limit the machining accuracy, and the measurement system of the machine tool is not accurate enough. If there is a better Tool and measuring system, then I can improve the machining accuracy of the machine tool to another level!"

Although Zhong Cheng had this idea long ago, the current performance of the Nuwa Industrial Mother Machine is completely sufficient, and there is no need to greatly increase the manufacturing cost. The project team rejected his proposal.

This time there is a chance, and he secretly rejoiced.

Director Qian stood up excitedly and said loudly: "That's great, the best cutting tools are available in the best cutting tools at present, whether it is diamond cutting tools, cubic boron nitride (CBN) cutting tools, ceramic cutting tools, as long as they are not used in large quantities , no problem, not to mention measuring devices and servers.”

He went on to say: "Another level of processing, from 0.5 micron to 0.1 micron, is already in the range of 100 nanometers, which is already ultra-precision processing that can only be completed by non-machining tools such as photolithography machines. That’s right, this is going to make the research and development institute fly!”

Using ultra-precision processing equipment to process large metal parts is something Director Qian never dreamed of.

"But, there is another question?" Zhong Cheng frowned.

Director Qian became nervous, "What's the problem?"

"This Nuwa industrial mother machine is four meters high, and its length and width are more than ten meters. I just built it. Can this research and development center fit in?"

"Hahaha!"

Director Qian laughed, and Zhong Cheng couldn't understand the laughter. This problem is very realistic. It is impossible to open up the first and second floors of this building to house machine tools. Besides, is the foundation of this office building solid?
Precision machining machine tools have very high requirements on the foundation of the factory building!
But director Qian didn't answer Zhong Cheng's question, "Xiao Zhong, let's not talk about this first, let me show you around the R&D institute."

Just this small building, still visiting?

Zhong Cheng slandered inwardly, but followed Director Qian out of the office.

Director Qian saw that Zhong Cheng still had a large bag twisted in his hand, so he made a phone call and called a staff member to ask him to send Zhong Cheng's luggage to the dormitory.

Director Qian took Zhong Cheng to the elevator on the side of the stairs, waiting to take the elevator.

Zhong Cheng's face was a little ugly, thinking that this leader is too bad, and he still needs to take the elevator on these three floors.

Director Qian ignored Zhong Cheng's expression, just smiled mysteriously, and pulled Zhong Cheng into the elevator.

电梯面板上显示楼层有六个，除了1、2、3层外，还有-1、-2、-3。

Director Qian pressed the button for the -3 floor.

Zhong Cheng was surprised, did he want to go to the underground garage to take a car?
The elevator soon reached the -3 floor, and Zhong Cheng followed Director Qian out of the elevator.

But the outside is not an underground garage, but a corridor with metal walls, more than ten meters long, with a glass door at the end, behind which is a large room.

The two walked to the glass door and shot red light from the top and sides of the door. After shining on them once, the glass door opened automatically.

Zhong Cheng made some calculations. It should be a face recognition system, or even a human body recognition system, and then connected to the electronic control system to open and close the glass door. The technology is just so-so!
Behind the glass door is a ring-shaped space, which is also a silver-white metal curtain wall. In the middle is a huge column with a diameter of about 50 meters.

There is a door on the column, and it looks like it is also an elevator.

Is this going to go underground?
At the entrance, the two handed over their mobile phones to the duty room.

Director Qian said that electronic products such as mobile phones cannot be taken down, and that they can be retrieved when they come out. Someone will notify if there is an emergency call.

Zhong Cheng followed Qian Suo into the elevator. The elevator was not big. It seemed that there should be many elevators inside the cylinder.

Look at the floor displayed on the elevator.

"laugh!"

Zhong Cheng gasped. This circular space is the first floor, and there are 32 floors down.

"This?!"

Zhong Cheng looked at Director Qian in shock, not knowing what to say.

"Don't you think there is no place to put this industrial machine? Let's go to the seventh floor to see where to put this machine."

Director Qian said jokingly that he was very happy with Zhong Cheng's reaction.

The elevator went down to the seventh floor, and Zhong Cheng didn't know how deep it was.

Because he silently calculated from the first floor to the second floor, the high-speed elevator went down for more than five minutes, and it only got up quickly after the second floor.

The seventh floor is a huge and empty space with a height of more than 30 meters. The area is invisible, and the side cannot be seen at a glance, and it is blocked by huge equipment.

Director Qian only took Zhong Cheng to look around the entrance. There were all kinds of machine tools and equipment, and there were some equipment that Zhong Cheng could not name.

"Is it enough to put your Nuwa industrial mother machine here? There is a 100-meter-long steel support burial layer underground on this floor, which is much more solid than the foundation of the company's factory building."

Director Qian pointed to an open space only [-] meters away from the elevator pillar. This open space was obviously where there was a large piece of equipment not long ago, but it has now been dismantled.

"Enough, absolutely enough!"

Zhong Cheng nodded quickly. It turned out that the three-story building on the ground of the research and development center was just the tip of the iceberg.

Director Qian talked with Zhong Cheng about the assembly and placement of machine tools here.

Although the Nuwa industrial mother machine is manufactured in the machine tool factory, the final assembly can only be completed on site. There is no way for such a large-scale equipment to get off the elevator as a whole.

After roughly having a plan, Director Qian took Zhong Cheng to the third basement floor by elevator.

As soon as he entered the third floor, Zhong Cheng was shocked again.

The floor height is less than five meters, which is normal, but the interior space is separated by transparent glass walls into hundreds of large and small offices, where one person to eight people can sit.

The entire space is centered on the elevator cylinder, and soldiers in white coats are coming and going in military uniforms. The windows on the edge of the space are mountains and seas, making it difficult to distinguish between real and fake.

The air was so fresh that it didn't feel like it was thousands of meters underground.

Director Qian returned the salute to the soldier who saluted him, and at the same time led Zhong Cheng into a single-person office not far from the elevator entrance.

"This floor is the office of the R&D center. This is Director Luo, the person in charge here!"

Director Qian introduced to Zhong Cheng a forty-something colonel and military officer in the office. This colonel was of medium build, wearing glasses, and well-mannered.

"This is Comrade Zhong Cheng, but don't get his idea, I've already assigned him a mission."

Hearing Director Qian's introduction, Director Luo's eyes lit up, probably because he knew about Zhong Cheng, but then they dimmed again.

"Boss, aren't you kidding me?"

Director Luo seemed to be very familiar with Director Qian and spoke casually.

Director Qian glared, "You support his work well, and I'll leave it to you to use as you please when it's over. Okay, Xiao Zhong, you have to hurry up on my business, I'm leaving first."

He ignored Director Luo's curious gaze, turned around and left.

Director Luo turned his head to stare at Zhong Cheng, and asked tentatively: "Is Lao Qian asking you to build a Nuwa industrial mother machine for the institute?"

"Yes!"

Zhong Cheng replied loudly.

"Shh! Keep your voice down, you're afraid that others won't hear you, don't tell others about this, it won't affect you well!"

Zhong Cheng blinked his eyes a few times, not quite understanding, but still nodded.

"Now each unit in the company is independently accounted for. If we go to get a Nuwa industrial master machine like this, other units will have opinions. Do you understand now?"

Director Luo was afraid of Zhong Cheng's wild thoughts, so he explained.

Zhong Cheng estimated that director Luo was also one of the masterminds about the industrial machine.

"Okay, you hurry up on this matter. There are several projects in the center that are still counting on the Nuwa industrial mother machine, so don't worry about the others in advance."

Zhong Cheng couldn't laugh or cry.

It seems that if I don't build a Nuwa industrial mother machine for the research and development institute, I don't want to do other things.
