Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

After lunch, before Su Changming arrived, workers dispatched to the laboratory from within the steel rolling mill came to report first.

An eighth-level blacksmith, an eighth-level fitter, a seventh-level furnace worker, and other supporting workers.

No more electricians were sent this time. Sun Changan, an eighth-level electrician, was enough to meet the needs of both parties, so there was no need to waste the quota.

When these people came, they couldn't hide the happiness on their faces.

Entering the laboratory means an extra thirty yuan a month.

For those who have reached the top level, there is only one direct way to increase their income, which is to join the laboratory.

When Jiang Chen saw this, he first called a meeting with people from the theory and practice department.

Wait until Su Changming and others arrive, and then hold a meeting of the entire laboratory.

In fact, the theory and practice group had just been established, and apart from these few people, the only ones attending the meeting were Luo Xue and Liu Yue.

After everyone arrived, Jiang Chen said, "Welcome you to join the laboratory. Our team has grown again."

"Your position has been transferred and you have joined the theoretical practice group of the Scientific Research Laboratory of No. 3 Steel Plant. Your direct person in charge is Luo Xue."

"Luo Xue, please introduce yourself."

Luo Xue stood up generously: "Hello everyone, my name is Luo Xue, and I am not yet 18 years old. Thanks to the leadership's trust, I will lead the theory and practice group."

"Some people may not know that half a year ago, I was a just graduated from a technical secondary school without any work experience. Then by chance, I joined the No. 3 Steel Factory."

"The position is the leader's assistant. There is no establishment and no salary. It is purely a help."

"In the past six months, I have participated in the establishment of the training system, the research and development of Sangang machine tools, which are the most important in the country, and the research and development of other supporting machine tools of Sangang machine tools."

“What I have experienced in just six months may be more exciting than what many people experience in their lifetimes.”

"And I have also transformed from an industrial novice to the leader of the theoretical practice group today. Don't you think it's incredible?"

Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.

Surprise and suspicion were written on everyone's faces.

What happens if they have to work under a girl under the age of 18 from now on?

Judging from Luo Xue’s delicate skin and tender flesh, I’m afraid she hasn’t touched much of anything. Why should she lead us?

It would be fine if he just followed Jiang Chen. After all, his achievements and reputation were there.

But this Luo Xue, I heard, has always been looking at the work of assistants and data. Why should she lead a group of senior workers to start their work?

Could it be that it depends on beauty? Everyone has this guess in mind.

This situation is just like when Jiang Chen first started, Liu Yuanjian, Zhang Shan and others in the engineering department looked at him with suspicion.

At that time, Jiang Chen had the support of Yang Weimin and Tao Yuan.

Now Luo Xue also has Jiang Chen's support behind her, so she is not afraid at all.

Luo Xue said: "Yes, even I find it incredible. In my spare time, I also thought carefully about how we could get to where we are today."

"But soon, I got the answer. I should be following the right person. As soon as I entered the position, I followed the leader, and he led me to learn, grow and progress."

"Now that you have joined the laboratory and worked with the leaders, the future opportunities belong to everyone."

"I hope that with our sincere cooperation, the Theoretical Time Laboratory can bloom the most splendid technological flowers."

After Luo Xue finished speaking, everyone began to applaud.

It looked like it was done, but the applause was not so enthusiastic.

Jiang Chen looked at everyone calmly, and after everyone's applause ended, he slowly said:

"Since you have joined the laboratory, you must act according to the rules of the laboratory. Your level and experience outside can only be regarded as a slightly higher starting point at best."

"Since Luo Xue is the leader of the theoretical practice group, she will be responsible for the results of the group in the future. If there is a problem, I will naturally go to her."

"Everyone will start working according to her arrangements. You may be dissatisfied or not give her a good look, but the arranged things must be completed for me without any compromise."

"The laboratory will not keep those who work against the will. I will not give a second chance to comrades who do not have the ability to train, but have a bad attitude and do not respect the leadership."

"Those who are willing to stay, let's work hard together and achieve results together."

"If you find it unacceptable, you can leave the laboratory now, return to your original job, and continue your work."

"Take one minute to make your choice."

Luo Xue is one of her own, so Jiang Chen naturally wants to support her.

If everyone has a bad attitude, then he doesn’t recommend speaking harshly.

Anyway, this is not the beginning. There are many people who want to enter the laboratory.

The minute was up and no one left.

Just kidding, no one is willing to leave even for the special allowance.

Jiang Chen said: "Since no one is leaving, everyone is willing to stay. This is your own choice. I hope everyone will be responsible for their own choices."

"Now, everyone, please introduce yourselves. Introduce your name, expertise, etc. There is no need to add your level, because here, the previous level is not important at all."

Anyone who is not a senior worker cannot enter the laboratory door.

Why give them a chance to show off their superiority, lest they become arrogant and make Luo Xue's management more difficult.

"My name is Cheng Ou, and I am a blacksmith. I don't have much ability, but I am good at hammering and have a lot of strength. If you have any physical work in the laboratory in the future, you can come to me anytime."

Ou, the forging engineer of the Strong Coarse Mine, stood up first and briefly introduced himself.

"My name is Wei Jianwei, a fitter."

Once someone started, the rest of the group followed suit and stood up to introduce themselves.

After everyone was introduced, Jiang Chen nodded: "Write it down, and I will briefly explain to you the content and mode of your work next."

"The theory practice group, as the name suggests, is to practice and verify current advanced scientific theories or feasible ideas, so as to improve our overall industrial level."

"The first idea we want to verify now is that machine tools cannot produce parts with higher precision than their own, unless there are more sophisticated operating techniques."

"How should we understand this sentence? Machine tools cannot produce parts with higher precision than themselves. This should be a consensus, and I do not deny it."

"But it is also a paradox. If this consensus is established, how can we improve the processing accuracy of machine tools?"

"Some people may say that higher-precision machine tools are imported from abroad, so that this machine tool can be used to produce machine tools with higher machining precision than today."

"Let me put aside the question of whether we can obtain advanced machine tools. Then how do foreign countries circumvent this paradox and improve the progress of machine tools?"

"So, I boldly hypothesize that when the accuracy of the machine tool is certain, the accuracy of the machine tool can be improved through human operation and the use of various tools. The verification of this hypothesis is the first topic of the theoretical practice group."

"Either you can prove that the consensus that machine tools cannot produce parts with higher precision than your own is correct, or you can break through this consensus and improve the accuracy of machine tools."

"Is it challenging or even whimsical? Turning whimsical things that may seem unrealistic at first glance into reality in your own hands is the most fun thing about technology."

"Just like hundreds of years ago, no one thought that people could fly in the sky like birds, and no one dared to think that a lump of iron could run faster than a horse."
