Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

December 12, Saturday, Scientific Research Laboratory of the Third Rolling Mill.

All the personnel involved in research and development gathered here, looking attentively at the machine tools being assembled.

After more than a month of R&D and manufacturing, all components of the machine tool have been produced.

Now Jiang Chen and Qin Kai are doing the final assembly work.

The main body of the machine tool is designed extremely cleverly, and every component can be stuck in the right position.

It is said that anyone who participated in the development of this design can assemble it, even the seventh-level furnace engineer Ge Langping.

Because of long-term research and collective production, everyone is familiar with every component.

But everyone still agreed that this sacred moment should be completed by Jiang Chen.

After all, Jiang Chen's detached thinking and overall control were most important for this research and development to be carried out purely profitably.

"Assembly completed!" Jiang Chen announced loudly after tightening the last screw.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

Even Jiang Chen himself was a little excited.

The main functions of this machine tool are carving, filing, sawing, tapping, grinding, etc. It is a comprehensive machine tool dedicated to fitters.

Its value is much stronger than the training system he built.

Of course, today’s machine tools are not yet complete.

Because there is still room for improvement.

Qin Kai didn't bother to wipe off the oil on his hands: "Quick, let's run it and take a look."

Sun Changan said: "Wait a moment, I will check the circuit again. Make sure not to damage the machine tool due to circuit problems."

In fact, Sun Changan has checked it countless times before.

But no one had any objection to his proposal.

The machine tool in front of us is equivalent to our child, and we don't want it to be harmed in the slightest.

Sun Changan carefully checked the line again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he said: "No problem, I will connect the power supply."

After connecting the power to the machine tool, everyone's eyes focused on Jiang Chen again.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath: "3"

"2"

"1"

"Start the machine."

After saying that, he pressed the power button of the machine tool.

The machine tool starts.

Jiang Chen said: "Liu Gong, come and try?"

Liu Xi waved his hand: "Come here, you are the team leader and the leader of the research and development work. Your technology is no worse than ours. Come and take care of us."

Wang An also said: "Yes, yes, Jiang Gong, you are the most suitable."

Although Liu Xi and Wang An are both direct descendants of Yang Weimin, their relationship with each other is not harmonious.

No matter who you try, the other person will have an opinion.

Jiang Chen nodded: "Okay, I'll do it. I'll do it."

Next to Liu Yue, a piece of steel immediately fell on the ground.

Jiang Chen reached out to take it and began to test various functions of the machine tool.

Cutting, after a burst of sparks, the steel broke into two pieces.

The joy on everyone's faces became even stronger.

Jiang Chen kept busy and expertly tested various functions.

Every time a function is tested, the smile on everyone's face becomes one point more.

When the last tapping test was completed, there was a commotion at the scene.

"Awesome, this machine is really awesome."

"I just kept watching the wall clock on Qiang to keep time. The time spent on each process using this machine tool is at least twice as fast."

"Did we really make this machine tool?"

"Our efforts this month have been in vain."

Liu Xi said excitedly: "Jiang Gong's technology is really good, fast, accurate and stable. But even if it is operated by another person, the production efficiency will be twice as high as the big brother machine tool."

After hearing this, everyone fell into a brief daze.

Immediately, the excitement grew.

What is the concept of being twice as efficient as the big brother machine tool?

Before this, no one dared to think about it.

Even if the machine tool is assembled, most people think that it would be a miracle if it can reach the productivity of Big Brother.

But now the facts are before everyone. The production efficiency of the machine tools far exceeds their expectations.

Jiang Chen waved his hand: "Come on, come on, you all come and try."

“Remember, I’m not just asking you to operate it, but I’m trying to feel the machine tool in action and see what areas are worthy of improvement and adjustment.”

"Wang An, you come first."

Afraid that the two guys would start fighting again, Jiang Chen simply named them directly.

Liu Xidao: "Wang An, be careful, don't damage the machine tool."

Wang An snorted: "If you tell me, I still don't know."

"Besides, if it breaks so easily, it can only be said that our research and development failed."

Everyone immediately glared at him, the word "failure" was a bit too harsh.

Wang An quickly explained: "I didn't mean that, I meant... Oh, you should understand."

"Okay, I'm going to do it."

Seeing them starting to operate, Jiang Chen walked to the desk nearby and quietly lit a cigarette.

Seeing this, Liu Yue walked over silently: "Boss, what's wrong? All functions of the machine tool are exceptionally good, but I feel like you are not that happy."

Jiang Chen touched her head: "You are such a sensible and good girl! You go and try the machine tool first, we will have a meeting to discuss it later."

Liu Yue nodded: "Okay, then I'll go."

Everyone tried to operate the machine tool in order.

If there hadn't been someone urging them from behind, they would probably have been forced to stand on the machine tool for a whole day and not want to leave.

This trial lasted two hours.

Two hours later, everyone tried the machine tool.

Jiang Chen stood up and said, "Everyone, come here, let's have a meeting."

As everyone walked along, they were still discussing excitedly.

Even Qin Kai, who showed no emotion or anger, was excitedly discussing this newly developed machine tool with Shi Zhu.

When everyone was done, Jiang Chen said: "After one and a half months of development, we finally have the preliminary results, a complete machine tool."

"Everyone has just tried it, and all aspects of the machine tool are pretty good. I suggest that we give ourselves a round of applause for our hard work and efforts during this period."

clap clap clap!

There were not many people, and the applause was warm.

Everyone clapped their hands vigorously.

The applause lasted for two full minutes before Jiang Chen stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop: "Now, let's all talk about our feelings."

"Qin Kai, start with you."

Qin Kai sat up straight: "A miracle, a real miracle."

"At the beginning, I was not optimistic about this project at all. Now it seems that I was wrong, very wrong."

“I am very proud that such an excellent machine tool was born from our bottom line.”

His voice was still calm, but the tears in his eyes revealed his mood.

Liu Xi continued: "I am similar to Gong Qin, and I was skeptical at the beginning. If this project was not hosted by Gong Jiang, who has already created miracles, I would not even be involved."

"But now I am extremely glad that I did not choose to quit. Our child was born, and he was extremely strong from the moment he was born. I am very happy."

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for trusting me!"

Wang Andao: "Now, it is our pride, but I believe that it will not be long before it becomes the pride of No. 3 Steel Plant and the pride of the country."

"You know, we are a steel rolling mill. I can't imagine the expressions of representatives from the Ministry of Industry and the factory director when they see such a machine tool."

Next, others briefly expressed their feelings.

Much the same, excited, excited.

After everyone finished speaking, Jiang Chen said: "We were able to achieve such results in a short period of time. Everyone's efforts are worthy of recognition."

"But through the test just now, I found that there is a huge problem with our machine tools."
