Chapter 1783: Machine Tools Are Not Good Enough

Waking up one night, Yang Xiaotao felt the soreness in his waist muscles and the weight of his body, and slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at Ran Qiuye who is like a puppy, where is the cold and arrogant look that she had when she questioned Yu Li last night?
Yang Xiaotao couldn't bear to wake her up, so he just looked at her face quietly.

He knew how crazy he was for his son last night.

If Xiaowei hadn't helped Ran Qiuye strengthen his physique, he would have collapsed long ago.

Even so, Yang Xiaotao still firmly holds the upper hand.

Hearing the sound of someone turning over, Yang Xiaotao quickly patted Ran Qiuye's back. Feeling the movement, Ran Qiuye opened his eyes.

"Miao Miao is awake?"

Ran Qiuye heard the sound of someone leaving the house next door and asked softly. Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Six o'clock, the child gets up on time."

"This is a good habit to develop. How unlike you."

"What's wrong with me? This is called Peony Flower."

Ran Qiuye came down quickly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about."

After getting dressed, prepare to cook.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao also got up from the bed and prepared to stretch his body to relieve the pain in his lower back.

When he went out, he saw Miaomiao getting water to wash her face and brush her teeth. Yang Xiaotao did not disturb her but walked out.

When passing by the big locust tree, Xiaowei fell into his pocket.

"Xiao Wei, hurry up and give me some relief."

"Master, you worked too much last night, which is not good for your health."

As Xiaowei spoke, a warm current flowed down from her shoulders, directly washing over her waist, and finally flowing to her calves, then coming back, over and over again.

"You do not understand."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he saw that the Taoist priest had returned from his walk, followed by a little yellow dog. The dog immediately wagged its tail when it saw Yang Xiaotao.

"Master, you're out walking the dog so early, why don't you buy some breakfast?"

The old Taoist priest was wearing a mandarin jacket and had a neatly combed beard. "The ones I bought are not as delicious as the ones you make."

"You can do it."

After breakfast, Yang Xiaotao came to the machinery factory and told Liu Huaimin and others what Song Tao had said. Liang Zuoxin had no objection to it.

Both will increase the strength of the Security Department and will even be beneficial to the promotion of special forces.

In addition, Director Yu also said that they would help if necessary.

Moreover, this kind of help can also promote the special forces' actual combat capabilities and continuously improve them.

The result is mutually beneficial for both parties.

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning also agreed.

They share the same opinion as Yang Xiaotao: more friends mean more paths, not to mention the big, thick leg of housework!

Everyone had no objection and waited for someone to announce the "reward".

Two more days passed.

The case of Wang Zhuo's fraud was concluded and the reward was issued to the machinery factory.

According to the investigation process submitted by the machinery factory, Yang Xiaotao and Guo Liang, who performed outstandingly in the investigation of the Wang Zhuo case, received an individual commendation of 200 yuan each, and other industrial coupons and food coupons varied. Lou Xiaoe also received a commendation of 100 yuan for her meritorious assistance.

In addition, the security department of the machinery factory made outstanding contributions in the arrest, and all participants received bonuses ranging from fifty to one hundred yuan. The only pity was that no collective honors were awarded, which made Liang Zuoxin a little disappointed.

However, there is still the metallurgical case waiting, and Liang Zuoxin feels that the machinery factory security department should at least be awarded a third-class collective merit for their hard work this time.

For this matter, Liang Zuoxin made several phone calls and was waiting for the final result.

Everyone received the reward, especially Yang Xiaotao and the other two. In that era when purchases were still calculated in cents, the hundreds of dollars they received were just like the millionaires of later generations.

On the day he received the bonus, Yang Youning proposed to treat everyone to a meal.

Yang Xiaotao naturally agreed with a smile. After all, to put it bluntly, many people had contributed to this matter, but the benefits were limited, so only the most outstanding people could benefit.

However, compared to the money in their hands, the most important thing for Yang Xiaotao and his team is the commendation awarded by the higher authorities.

When Lou Xiao'e held the certificate, the excitement in her eyes was beyond words.

The stone in her heart that had been weighing on her mind for a long time was finally put down.

After Yang Xiaotao took the commendation certificate home, Ran Qiuye immediately took out the prepared photo frame and put it in the honor box.

Even though Yang Xiaotao has won a lot of these things, including a certificate for second-class individual merit, the only difference is the words inside them.

But there is really no such thing as too little.

From now on, these will be absolute honors and benefits.

After the awards were announced, Song Tao also brought a team of 20 people to the machinery factory, and then handed them over to Liang Zuoxin and went to the rear training base.

These ten people are experts carefully selected from the Internal Affairs Department, and Liang Zuo's new task is to select six people within two weeks.

These six people were the staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs stationed at the Machinery Factory, and all expenses were borne by the Machinery Factory.

On the surface, it seems that the machinery factory suffered a loss, but in fact, because the people from the internal affairs department moved into the machinery factory, the machinery factory still got the advantage.

Another week passed and the metallurgical matter was settled.

Wang Junhong has managed to secure his position due to his outstanding performance in recent times, but he has to bear the consequences of being punished with a warning. Although he can no longer climb up, many people will envy him for reaching his position, so what else does he need?

At the same time, the reward was also issued. Yang Xiaotao was commended again with a bonus of 300 yuan.

I guess the extra hundred is the labor fee. After all, wearing a hood in hot weather is a lot of hard work.

That's right, there are too many commendations. Can a few of them be exchanged for a third-class merit?

Yang Xiaotao did not receive the third-class merit personally, but the security department of the machinery factory was awarded the honor of the third-class merit as a collective by its superiors.

This also relieved Liang Zuoxin's worries.

From now on, the security department of the machinery factory has caught the attention of the superiors.

Then came Yu Haitang's incident, which didn't cause any waves at all. At most, those who were watching the fun said a few words in their spare time.

As for why she couldn't get over it, there are so many versions of the story. Especially after learning about Yu Haitang's story, it provided fertile ground for gossip.

However, there was a rumor in the courtyard that the family was moving to the west, but they didn't say where exactly.

I guess it will leave only after Haitang is released.

Yang Xiaotao was not in the mood to pay attention to this. Now the research and manufacturing of the engine has finally ushered in the first stage of the gatekeeper BOSS, the high-pressure compressor. A compressor that compresses the airflow entering the engine to a high outlet pressure.

This compressor is completely different from the compressor that Yang Xiaotao originally developed for liquid oxygen manufacturing.

Although both are compressors, they do very different things.

Liu Daming and his colleagues' previous experience was of no use at all, and everything had to start from scratch.

Fortunately, the drawings provided by Yang Xiaotao were very comprehensive, and the parameters were very precise, so they had a reference when they did it.

The reason why it has become a difficult card for everyone to develop is not a problem of materials, but a pure lack of technology.

We started with the fan blades, slowly conducted experiments, and then made a low-pressure compressor. The journey was smooth and stable.

This continuous success and smooth progress made everyone feel that as long as they followed the drawings given by Yang Xiaotao, they might be able to make the engine soon.

At that time, they also want to see whether the thing they made is useful.

However, they didn't expect that before they even saw the shadow of the engine, they were blocked by the difficulties in front of them, forcing their gradually accelerating train to brake unexpectedly.

In order to make this high-pressure compressor, the entire R&D technical team worked day and night, and they have lost count of how much of the supplied materials they used.

But even so, the products produced still cannot meet the design requirements.

Failure, failure.

No matter who comes, no matter how much effort is spent, no matter how good the machine tools are, the final result will be a failure!
If it weren't for the initial manufacturing of the fan, which everyone knew about, and the fact that this was a design drawing given by Yang Xiaotao himself, they would really doubt whether the data on it was true.

Even so, Liu Daming and his companions were still troubled. With their skills, they were unable to cause the attack.

Even Chen Chonghan and Shen Rong sighed helplessly.

Chen Chonghan, in particular, originally thought that he had the ability to handle the situation with ease, as this had already been proven when he was manufacturing parts for the Third Ministry of Machine Building.

But up to now, this guy has completed all the tasks sent by the Shicheng Research Institute with the help of the resources of the machinery factory, and there is no problem in handing them over to the Third Ministry of Machine Building for acceptance.

This made him feel much more confident.

He had nothing to do at hand, and just when the machinery factory happened to be in trouble, he volunteered to come and help.

As a result, I ended up with a complete failure!
Unwilling to give up, Chen Chonghan specifically asked someone from the Third Ministry of Machine Building about the design parameters of the compressor of the engine.

As a result, their parameters were twice as loose as those given by Yang Xiaotao.

He looked at what Liu Daming had done before. If it followed the design requirements given by the Third Ministry of Machine Building, it would definitely be a qualified product.

But it doesn't work for Yang Xiaotao. The precision requirement can drive the best level 8 worker crazy!

For this reason, Chen Chonghan specifically found Yang Xiaotao to explain the situation, but Yang Xiaotao replied with one sentence.

This is my engine.

Well, Chen Chonghan understood that it was impossible to reason with this guy.

Fortunately, this thing was designed by Yang Xiaotao himself, just like solving a math problem for himself.

If you ask a question yourself, you will always have the answer.

These days, Yang Xiaotao was busy with metallurgy and did not participate in manufacturing. Now that things at the machinery factory are on track, everyone wants to see if Yang Xiaotao's skills can do it.

If you have achieved it, it's fine. It's just that your skills are not as good as others. There is nothing else to do but keep working hard.

But if this cannot be done, then this design drawing will be questionable.

You know, when designing a blueprint, you have to consider the current productivity. A design that is out of touch with reality will not be a good design.

Second workshop.

Yang Xiaotao stood in front of the Morning Star machine tool, the structure of the components emerged in his mind, and he slowly started the machine.

As a fitter, the skill of operating machine tools must be good.

Especially the eighth-level master fitter, although not as good as the eighth-level professional machine tool operator, he is also a person who has mastered this field.

Just like Liu Daming and Zhou Hong, as a fitter, Liu Daming's ability to operate machine tools is not as good as Zhou Hong, but he is worse than the average level 6 machine tool operator.

But if Zhou Hong, an eighth-level machinist, were to compete with a sixth-level fitter, he would definitely lose.

Therefore, in everyone's mind, although Yang Xiaotao is an eighth-level fitter, his ability to operate machine tools may not be as good as Zhou Hong, a professional.

Now that even Master Zhou is unable to make the parts, Yang Xiaotao is even more in trouble.

Chen Chonghan stood aside with a crutch, looking nervously at Yang Xiaotao who was operating the machine tool.

If this guy can even operate a machine tool better than him, then, then Chen Chonghan will be convinced.

Shen Rong stood beside Liu Daming and asked in a low voice, "Master, this, Mr. Yang, is it okay?"

Liu Daming rubbed the back of his hand. He had worked overtime a lot for this compressor during this period.

My body couldn't keep up and even my hands started to hurt.

While feeling sad about my own aging, I am also looking forward to having successors.

"I don't know, it should be fine."

Liu Daming said this, and then asked Shen Rong, "Have you told the higher-ups?"

"I think you will have a better career here. If nothing else, you can put your skills to good use."

Liu Daming started poaching people again, and Shen Rong could only smile bitterly.

Precisely because there are few development opportunities in the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, he wants to stay. If he leaves, what will happen to the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building?

"finished."

Suddenly, Zhou Hong shouted hurriedly as he looked at the parts that appeared after the machine tool returned to its original position.

After hearing this, Liu Daming hurried forward to measure.

Yang Xiaotao shook his head and walked aside. He found that the feel was lacking during the production just now.

This Morningstar machine tool is considered to be the top machine tool in the country, but it still has some sluggishness during operation. As a result, it is impossible to successfully produce the parts.

Sure enough, when Liu Daming announced the measurement results, everyone sighed.

Chen Chonghan and Shen Rong both showed disappointed expressions. Even Yang Xiaotao couldn't do it, so who else could do it?

Can this aircraft engine still be built?

Everyone was very disappointed, and many people looked at Yang Xiaotao, wanting to ask what to do next.

But Yang Xiaotao just drank a sip of water and walked towards the vise table nearby.

If the machine tool doesn't work, then rub it by hand.
