Scholars in the courtyard

Under the night, the hustle and bustle of the land is covered, allowing the people who make a living on this land to calm down.

However, there are always people who cannot calm down because they have more to shoulder.

Jinling, heavy machine tool factory.

meeting room.

Electric lights illuminated every corner, making the dozen or so people around them look yellow.

Silent people and silent wind.

In September, the weather in Jinling is still sultry. Even at night, the wind from the south is still warm.

In the room, everyone lowered their heads, as if the yellow light was dazzling.

In front of the conference room, three serious figures also bowed their heads in thought.

Three people, representing the machine tool factory director, deputy factory director and technical director.

As an important department of domestic machine tool manufacturing, it is also a machine tool factory with a long history.

A machine tool factory that has always been at the forefront of domestic construction, a leading enterprise in the First Machinery Department, one of the Eight Golden Flowers, a heavy machine tool factory with countless honors, unexpectedly!

Can't even make a machine tool?

Thinking of this, the middle-aged factory director in the middle of the conference room began to breathe heavily.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the room also became subtle.

The middle-aged factory director raised his head and scanned the people below.

Those who were notified of the meeting tonight are all the elite backbones of the machine tool factory, old people in the factory, and staunch revolutionary comrades.

Facing them, the middle-aged factory director felt even more angry.

bang bang

His fingers tapped on the table, and there was a sudden sound in the silent conference room, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Old Cai!"

The factory director said something to the deputy director beside him, and then he saw the deputy director nod and unfold the documents on hand.

He didn't want to take a look at the documents that were rolled into tubes earlier.
But at this time, it was no longer enough not to look at it, and moreover, it was necessary to speak out.

"Comrades!"

Lao Cai mustered up his energy, but his voice was low.

"This is a notification from superiors!"

"The content is very simple. Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill has produced a milling machine, Hong Milling No. [-]!"

"Currently, Hong Mill No. [-] has been put into normal production. With this machine, Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant can currently produce three types of machine tools, namely Venus, Hong Chong and Hong Mill!"

Deputy Director Cai's speech was not smooth, even a little abrupt, and a little reluctant, but the people around him understood in their hearts.

Because they are the same.

After Deputy Director Cai explained the situation, he remained silent, and then the conference room fell silent again.

The factory director took a deep breath and stood up suddenly!

"Comrades!"

bang bang

The table was knocked again, the sound louder.

Everyone below shrank their heads, then raised their heads and looked at the angry factory director.

"Did you hear that? Did you hear that?"

"The other party is already moving forward rapidly, move forward!"

"What about us? I shamelessly come with the drawings, but what about us?"

"The machines in the workshop are the best, and people, I believe the people sitting here are no worse than people."

"But why can't it be done? Who can tell me why?"

The factory director glanced at everyone. With this shout, the depression accumulated in his heart was vented, but the anger was still there!

"The first time, you said you were careless. I didn't expect that the other party has such high requirements for accuracy! Okay. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and the Great Wall cannot be built in a day!"

"I admit it. If there is something wrong with us, we will correct it!"

"But what happened next?"

Having said this, the factory director became even more angry and felt short of breath.

"Lao Zhu, tell me what's going on."

The factory director just stared at the middle-aged man in the front left below, who was the leader of the task force set up in the factory.

It was he who took the lead in making machine tools this time.

At this moment, Lao Zhu felt helpless.

When they first heard that the Red Star Rolling Mill had built a high-precision machine tool, they were surprised.

That is a high-precision machine tool, not an ordinary machine tool.

Apart from anything else, there are only two of them in their factory, and they were all bought from abroad before, and one of them is second-hand.

Even so, with these two high-precision machine tools, their factory has established its position in the country's heavy machine tool industry and also clarified its position in the First Machinery Department.

But just such a machine tool, a little-known factory in Sijiu City, actually made it?
But after asking what kind of factory the Red Star Rolling Mill was, everyone became contemptuous.

In a steel rolling mill, if you don't do business, why do you do machine tools?
Not doing business.

After all, they are the professionals in machine tools.

After hearing the news, some people even doubted whether the other party knew what ordinary machine tools were and what advanced machine tools were.

Can you tell the difference between the two?

So after getting the drawings, everyone started a discussion, compared the drawings, and felt that there was something about this design.

At least the level of drawing is much better than that of the factory technical department.

As for the others, everyone disagreed.

In their eyes, the manufacturing accuracy of five is obviously enough, so why do we need to achieve an accuracy of two?

Isn’t this a waste of energy and delaying progress?
Some people even think that this is why the accuracy is so stuck because of being unprofessional.

So, everyone looked at the drawings and made them according to their usual production experience.

In this kind of mentality and environment, not only the workers, but even him became slack, and the requirements for some places were not strict. So when he was halfway through, he found that he couldn't assemble it with the existing parts.

Because it deviates too much from the drawings, it is not as good as an ordinary machine tool if it is assembled forcefully.

At that time, when he realized the mistake, he immediately stopped and told the factory director.

At that time, everyone realized that their experience had harmed them.

So, there was a second round of targeted remedies.

In line with the principle of saving materials where possible, everyone picked out problematic parts and parts with unqualified accuracy and made modifications.

But now...

After some repairs, it became even worse.

Lao Zhu raised his head to meet the factory director's gaze, knowing that raising his head or shrinking his head would be a slap in the face. At this point, he could no longer fool him without speaking.

"Director, we will replace the problematic parts."

"but…"

"But you're not done yet!"

The factory director couldn't listen anymore and yelled out. "The requirements of the drawings are obviously there, but what about you? You are so self-righteous that you are going too far!"

"You think you're an eighth-level worker with enough experience that you don't take other people's things seriously?"

"The first time I didn't take it seriously, and then I changed it to something different!"

"You are so capable, why don't you build a machine tool?"

Lao Zhu shrank his neck and then acted like a quail.

When the factory director saw him, he saved some face for him. After all, he was following his old man. He turned around and aimed his fire at the technical director.

"Director Sun! Tell me, you have done it again from beginning to end for the third time, why haven't you finished it yet?"

The middle-aged man on the left adjusted his glasses after hearing this.

Beads of sweat were already rolling down my forehead, but I didn't have time to wipe them off.

He reached out and opened the drawing and laid it out on the table.

"Director, we have learned lessons from the previous two failures, so we are producing strictly according to the requirements on the design drawings."

"Then why, it's still a pair of parts. Why is there an extra part after assembly?"

"In this case, you, you are all old masters, don't you understand why?"

Director Sun wiped the sweat from his eyelids, swallowed, and explained, "Director, we did it strictly in accordance with the requirements of the drawings!"

“If there’s nothing wrong with the drawings, we won’t be able to make it!”

"What do you mean?"

The factory director suddenly looked more serious.

"I, I think, there is something wrong with the design of this drawing."

"Huh? Sun Tengfei, what you say must be well-founded and responsible!"

Director Sun stuttered a little, but still expressed his opinion.

"Director, we have been a big factory for many years. There is no task that we have not done before. I think we can complete this kind of machine tool based on our ability."

"But it hasn't been made yet. I, I think there is something wrong with the drawing."

"Yes, the factory directors are all proven revolutionary comrades and will not hold back or be confused on this issue."

"What kind of machine tools have we not made in these years? But this thing, after all this time, still can't be made."

"Also, there is no news about the other two machine tools that got the drawings with us."

"I now doubt whether the machine tools made in the steel rolling mill are real."

"After all, it was possible to falsify the yield per mu back then, so we had to guard against it."

Deputy Factory Director Cai spoke helpfully from the side, "I think it is necessary to ask the superiors for verification!"

"Yes, factory director, I think it's better to check. If you don't guarantee everything, the other party will hold back!"

"Yes, but it doesn't rule out that there was a mistake during the reproduction!"

"If there's something wrong with the drawings, we won't be able to make it for a long time!"

The people below immediately started talking, and each of them looked suspiciously at the drawing.

The factory director frowned after hearing this, and then sat back down.

He really didn't think about this question.

When everyone saw this, they didn't say much. The specific situation was still decided by the factory director.

The meeting continued for another half an hour, and after a new round of tasks was set, the factory director dismissed the meeting.

Then he walked quickly back to the office, sat in silence at the table for a while, and then picked up the phone.

After a while, the phone picked up.

"Old Ning, I, Huang Shengli!"

Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, laughter immediately came, "Old Huang, I'm calling you so late, you must have something wrong!"

"Okay, you're still in the office so late, so you have something to do!"

"Okay, you just have a good brain. Tell me, why are you calling so late? I have a lot of headaches here!"

Director Huang hummed, and then asked, "Old Ning, how far has your machine tool gone? Let me tell you first, I haven't finished it yet. The call is not to spy on information, and it is not a joke! "

"Old Huang, what do you mean?"

When the people on the other side heard him say this, they were a little confused as to why they were here.

"Lao Ning, we have a meeting today."

"Have you ever thought about whether there might be something wrong with this drawing?"

After speaking, there was silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long time, a deep voice came.

"Old Huang, you must be responsible when you say this!"

"Let's not talk about anything else! Logistics Department, you know Lao Xue, they have one now and are organizing production internally."

"If there is something wrong with the drawings, wouldn't they know?"

After saying that, there was silence on the phone again.

However, the voice soon sounded again, "Old Ning, Old Xue and the others, it seems they haven't made their own."

In one sentence, Director Ning took a breath of cold air and thought more at the same time.

In this matter, there is either a real problem with the drawings, and the consequences, whether it is the mistake of the superiors or the deliberate actions of the steel rolling mill, they are happy to do this, but they will definitely offend others.

And the other one, if there is nothing wrong with the drawing, then...
However, as a warrior who has struggled for a long time, in this position, he has long understood that there are some things that cannot be revealed.

Some things need to be heard from others rather than said by oneself.

So he said in a skeptical tone, "That's not true, but I heard it will be soon!"

"We are almost done, but have we made it yet?"

Silence, both of them holding the phone, but didn't know what to say.

"What are you going to do?"

After a long time, Lao Ning asked about the key, and Director Huang mentally scolded him as an old fox, but as the initiator, he still had to say this.

"It's a little light for us alone, so it's best to join forces."

"Ask your superiors to review the drawings!"

"If there is really a problem with the drawings, it would make sense if we have not produced anything for so many days."

After a while, Lao Ning's voice came, "Okay, it's okay to wait like this. In this case, there's nothing wrong with us asking."

"And the one in the southwest, you want to contact me and you still let me go?"

"I'll go, I told him twice."

"Okay, then the three of us will finalize the time and let the superiors know together."

"it is good!"

patter
After hanging up the phone, Director Huang leaned back on his chair.

He is clear.

This time, if there is a problem with the drawings, it is easy to say anything.

If the drawings are correct but they still can't make it, then it's a slap in the face!
