Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

"Chief Chen, please check again. All parts must be installed in accordance with the drawings. No carelessness is allowed."

Sun Zhengguo quickly gave instructions.

"Okay, Chief, I'll do it right away."

Chen Lianshan came and left in a hurry, and then hurried back to his work post to arrange technicians and workers to conduct a comprehensive inspection of all parts of the machine tool.

Another half an hour passed and Chen Lianshan came to report again.

"Director, after our careful inspection, all the parts fully meet the requirements of the drawings. Please give your instructions."

"Notify the electrician, connect the power supply, and prepare for a test start."

"Okay, director."

Ten minutes later, the power was connected successfully and everything was ready.

Everyone looked at Sun Zhengguo, waiting for his final order.

Sun Zhengguo didn't hesitate and gave the order directly, "Reset the data panel and start the machine tool to run dry."

Because the data panel had not been used, there was no need to reset it. The technician received the instruction and directly pressed the start switch.

"Buzz buzz...!"

Accompanied by bursts of sound, the machine tool started successfully, and then the speed became faster and faster, the sound became smaller and smaller, and gradually stabilized.

“Pah, pah…!”

Immediately, warm applause broke out at the scene.

“Ohhh…!”

"Great, we made it."

Everyone at the scene was very happy to see this, but Sun Zhengguo's expression did not change at all, and he was still waiting quietly.

Twenty minutes later, the machine tool was still running without any problems, so Sun Zhengguo waved his hand to signal it to stop.

Everyone also calmed down, because everyone knew that the real test was about to come.

"Let's start programming and tooling as planned!"

As Sun Zhengguo gave the order again, a worker and a technician divided the work and started to install the tools and program.

After everything is done, the workers clamp the raw materials of the parts that need to be processed firmly onto the operating table.

"Turn it on."

With the last command, the machine tool began to actually operate.

Because this is the first time to test the machine, the parts selected are relatively simple and do not require secondary programming or tool change.

Therefore, in less than ten minutes, the parts are processed, which is not only smooth but also very efficient.

Once the part is finished, the worker pauses the machine, removes the part, measures it immediately, and finally makes a perfect gesture.

The worker then began to replace the tool while the technician reprogrammed it.

After everything was ready, the machine started again. This time the parts were more complicated, but the workers and technicians were quite skilled, and with the cooperation of two people, there were no problems at all.

At this time, the cadres who were observing found that this machine seemed to be just that, so someone asked.

"Director Sun, this machine tool is fast, but if I operate it like this every time, wouldn't it be inconvenient?"

After hearing his words, Sun Zhengguo smiled and shook his head, then explained.

"That's because the workers don't know how to program. In fact, this is a one-person job. If the workers can learn it, I don't know how much faster it will be than ordinary machine tools, and there will be almost no defective products."

"Director Sun, will this be very difficult? Can our workers learn it?" another cadre asked.

"Ah~! It's difficult. You must have a certain level of education, but if you study hard, there is nothing you can't learn."

After listening to Sun Zhengguo's explanation, Deputy Director Zhang felt that the credit was about to fly away, and asked immediately.

"Director Sun, since the threshold for using this machine tool is so high, what is the point of developing it?"

"That's a good question, Deputy Director Zhang." Sun Zhengguo did not get angry, but explained patiently.

"Although the threshold for using this machine tool is high, some scientific research units and military industrial units need it very much, and it will definitely be the mainstream in the future."

"Besides, some developed countries are using it. Do you dare to say that it is not easy to use? Should we not develop it just because it has a high threshold for use?"

"Everyone should remember one thing: if you fall behind, you will be beaten. When you find that you can't live without it, you will be far behind others when you continue to engage in research and development."

After this explanation, the group of cadres seemed to understand it, but as long as it was useful, everyone started to have fun again.

Seeing the expressions of this group of people, Sun Zhengguo was a little speechless. They really were a bunch of old men who knew nothing.

Then he said no more and watched the changes on the machine tool intently.

Slowly, as time passed, the blank on the machine tool, with the efforts of the two people, transformed into a perfect part.

Soon, the technician saw that the part was processed and quickly pressed the stop switch.

Then the workers quickly removed the parts and took various measurements.

"Passed, very perfect." After the parts were measured, the worker raised his hand excitedly.

"Bah bang bang...!"

There was warm applause again, and this time even Sun Zhengguo was no exception.

After a burst of excitement, the cadres resumed their routine operations and then started to flatter the emperor.

"Director Sun, congratulations! With such a powerful weapon, the country's industry will be taken to a higher level."

"Director Sun, it has to be you. In my opinion, our technology will be far ahead again this time."

"..."

OK! Hearing the word "far ahead", Sun Zhengguo said Han Yan and waved his hand quickly.

"I am not worthy of your praise. This is the credit of all the staff in our institute. Let's celebrate together."

“Hahahaha…!” The cadres were so happy when they heard such words that they couldn’t stop grinning.

After chatting with this group of cadres, Sun Zhengguo did not forget the workers.

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."

When the workers heard that the director had something to say, they all stopped.

"I've seen how hard everyone has worked during this period, so I want to say two things."

"First, to celebrate the successful test of the machine tool today, I decided to let the workers go off work early so that they can go back and rest early."

"Second, I will never break my promise. In addition to the pork I prepared, I will also give each of you two eggs. I will bring them to you tomorrow."

“Ohhh…!”

As soon as Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, the workers started shouting wildly.

This time they were really having fun and they didn't care whether they left work early or not.

But the temptation of pork, plus two eggs per person, is enough to drive people crazy.

Just as the workers were celebrating wildly, Sun Zhengguo and a group of leaders had already left the workshop and walked towards the office.

On the way back to the office, Sun Zhengguo called Zhou Weimin and the two walked side by side.

"Wei Min, please work hard today and write a detailed report on the CNC machine tools. It may be useful tomorrow."

"Don't worry, Director, these are just a piece of cake."

"Well! I'm at ease when you do the job."

Seeing that his brother-in-law was becoming more and more experienced in his work, Sun Zhengguo was generous in praising him.

As they were talking, they returned to the office building and went their separate ways because everyone had something else to do.
