Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Following the sound of a door closing, Zhou Tian relaxed and began to look around his office happily.

He sat down on the chair and looked around for a while. Soon, he felt bored. Just when he was about to go to the technical department, he opened the door and saw Nie Guodong was about to knock on the door.

"Technician Nie, no, Chief Nie, why are you here? Come in, come in quickly!"

Zhou Tian quickly welcomed Nie Guodong in, asked him to sit down, and wanted to pour water for Nie Guodong, but then he remembered that there was no water cup in the office. He could only say to Nie Guodong a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Chief, I just moved to a new place today, and I haven't prepared everything yet. Please forgive me!"

"Okay, stop working, I just want to see if you need anything, or if you need a new office."

Nie Guodong sat on a chair and watched Zhou Tian busying around, and couldn't help but smile.

"No need to change, this office is great, I'm very satisfied with it, but I still need to prepare a few water cups, pencils, and some white paper for drawing!"

After hearing this, Zhou Tian calculated what was missing in the office and said.

"I guess so. But I'll have someone bring these things to you later. By the way, do you want to meet some colleagues in our technical department?"

Nie Guodong said casually and then asked.

"Of course. I was just about to go to the technical department when you came over. To be honest, I really wanted to go to the technical department to recognize someone. You said it just in time!"

When Zhou Tian heard this, he immediately smiled and said.

"Okay, I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you're so polite all of a sudden? I'm a little uncomfortable with you. Come on, I'll take you to meet some people, so that you won't even recognize your own subordinates in the future!"

Nie Guodong stood up and took Zhou Tian out of the office and walked to the other side of the first floor.

"Xiaotian, the technical department has just integrated several maintenance personnel from the steel mill, plus several technical backbones sent by the state. There are not many people in the technical department now, only thirteen! Including you, there are only fourteen!"

As they walked, Nie Guodong introduced Zhou Tian to the specific situation of the current technical department.

"Of course, everyone here is definitely not as skilled as you, but this is the best we can do for now!"

As he said this, Nie Guodong shook his head helplessly. He actually wanted to ask his superiors for a few college students, but college students were so precious in this era. Even though he had submitted the report, in the end they only sent a few technical backbones from other factories. As for the college students he wanted, there was not a single one.

Although the skills of these people did not seem very good to him, they were still acceptable at the moment.

"It's okay, Chief. Take your time!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tian looked at Nie Guodong, who had a look of loss, and consoled him. After all, the country had just been established not long ago, and the universities had not yet been restored, so there was naturally a huge gap in knowledge and talent. However, he believed that with the restoration of universities, there would naturally be more and more talents.

What's more, in his opinion, it doesn't matter whether there are other people helping or not. After all, the drawings he took out were basically designed by him alone with reference to the virtual space lock in his mind. As long as the effect on the drawings can be achieved, generally mid- to senior-level workers will be enough.

Maybe this is actually a good thing.

As they were talking, the two of them came to a door with the words "Technical Department" written on it. They didn't knock on the door, but pushed it open and walked straight in.

As soon as he entered, Zhou Tian felt his eyes brighten. The wide field of vision allowed him to take in the entire technical department at a glance.

The entire technical department area seems to be nearly 80 square meters, with more than a dozen tables placed in one room, and it still looks very spacious.

The sunlight shines in through the transparent glass, illuminating the room.

Except for the five people who were working, the rest of the desks were empty, and they must have left the workshop.

"Everyone stop it!"

After entering the technical department, Nie Guodong clapped his hands first, attracting the attention of several people, and then said: "Today, I have brought you a new colleague. I believe you have heard about him from the broadcast just now. He is your deputy section chief Zhou Tian. Come on, everyone welcomes the arrival of Deputy Section Chief Zhou!"

As he spoke, Nie Guodong was the first to applaud. After hearing what the section chief said, the five people from the technical department couldn't help but look at Zhou Tian who was standing next to the section chief.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he still clapped obediently.

"Come on, Xiaotian, let me introduce you!"

After clapping, Nie Guodong took Zhou Tian towards the five people and introduced them one by one.

Following Nie Guodong's introduction, Zhou Tian also wrote down the information of the five people. Among them, there were three men and two women. The three men were Chang Weiguo, Dong Tianbao, and Liu Wei, while the two women were Liu Min and Zhang Xiumin.

As for the eight technical department staff members who were not there, Nie Guodong also said a few words, gave Zhou Tian some instructions, and then turned around and left the technical department.

After Nie Guodong left, five people from the technical department immediately surrounded Zhou Tian and asked questions one after another.

"Chief Zhou, the broadcast just now said that you developed a horizontal lathe, breaking the foreign technological blockade against us. Is that true?"

"Section Chief, can you tell me how much more advanced the horizontal lathe you developed is than the lathes we use now?"

"Section Chief..."

Wow, he is indeed worthy of being a member of the technical department. As soon as Nie Guodong left, everyone started asking Zhou Tian about the horizontal lathe.

Facing the questions from the five people, Zhou Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew that these people were not only curious about the horizontal lathe, but also a test for him.

If his answer could satisfy the five people, then Zhou Tian would naturally be able to establish prestige in the technical department. But if his answer could not satisfy them, then Zhou Tian's days in the technical department would be difficult.

But who is Zhou Tian? Not to mention that he is the designer and developer of the horizontal lathe, the knowledge he has accumulated over the years is enough to crush these people.

Hearing this, he looked calm and began to answer the five people's questions. He introduced some advantages of the horizontal lathe in detail, also mentioned some disadvantages, and combined with the technical parameters in his mind, analyzed with everyone the performance of the horizontal lathe and its impact on the industry.

As Zhou Tian casually spoke out precise data one by one, the five people were soon speechless and stunned.

Everyone looked confused. They could understand every word Zhou Tian said, but when they put them together, they felt like idiots, as if they were listening to a foreign language.

Zhou Tian stopped talking until his mouth became dry, and then he looked at the five people and asked, "Why, do you understand?"

The five of them shook their heads in unison, looking bitter. Obviously, they didn't understand. They wanted to show off their power to the new deputy section chief, but before they could start showing off their power, Zhou Tian hit them head-on, completely waking them up.

Only then did they understand that there was a reason why the factory let Zhou Tian be the deputy chief of the technical department. It was obvious that Zhou Tian was much better than them. They even suspected that all the people in the entire technical department were not as good as Zhou Tian.

He couldn't help but look at Zhou Tian as if he was looking at a monster, but in his heart he was completely impressed by his skills!
