Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

When a liquid hydrostatic shaft was assembled step by step from scratch under the watchful eyes of everyone, everyone looked at Zhou Tian with deep admiration in their eyes.

"Section Chief, you are amazing!"

"Chief, I really admire you!"

Colleagues from the technical department looked at Zhou Tian with admiration in their eyes, saying

Liu Min and Zhang Xiumin looked at Zhou Tian with indescribable emotions.

“Pa pa pa pa…Okay, Section Chief Zhou explained it very well. Even a layman like me could understand it clearly. I wonder if Section Chief Zhou could tell me when this so-called hydrostatic shaft of yours was developed?”

A sudden burst of applause instantly stopped the cheers of the crowd. Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Director!"

"Hello, director!"

When they saw that the person coming was Director Yang, everyone came forward to greet him.

"Good! Hello everyone!" Director Yang nodded to everyone, but his eyes were fixed on Zhou Tian, ​​with a hint of surprise flashing in the depths of his eyes. If he hadn't suddenly wanted to go down to the workshop to take a look, he probably would never have thought that Zhou Tian would bring him such a big surprise.

You know, during this period, due to the advent of the new boring machine, their steel rolling mill has made a lot of progress. Although the reward has not yet been issued, both Director Yang and other factory leaders who envy him know that the contribution they have made this time must be great.

After all, the continuous development of new machine tools, especially in the context of the country's vigorous advocacy of industrial development, will surely be taken seriously by superiors.

But I didn't expect that after just ten days of not seeing him, Zhou Tian had made a new invention. Although it was just a bearing, it was still a great achievement.

"Director, why are you here?" Zhou Tian was stunned when he saw Director Yang. He knew that Director Yang had been very busy with the new boring machine recently, and he didn't expect to see him in Workshop 3 today.

"What are you talking about? Why can't I come?" After hearing Zhou Tian's words, Director Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. However, even though he said this, his eyes were fixed on the newly assembled hydrostatic shaft in front of him.

"Xiaotian, tell me, is this hydrostatic shaft really that useful?"

Obviously, his mind was no longer on Zhou Tian, ​​but was completely attracted by the liquid hydrostatic axis in front of him. Especially after hearing Zhou Tian talk about the use of the liquid hydrostatic axis, he became even more interested in it.

"Okay then!" Zhou Tian originally wanted to tell the factory director that he had completed the drawings of the cylindrical grinder and planned to have the factory produce a batch of parts first. However, seeing that Director Yang's attention was all on the liquid hydrostatic shaft at the moment, he had to put it aside for the time being.

"Director, the hydrostatic shaft is a design I made..."

Next, Zhou Tian explained the structure, use and advantages of the hydrostatic shaft to Director Yang in detail. After all, he had explained this kind of thing many times in front of his colleagues in the technical department, so he explained it very smoothly.

After finishing his talk, he concluded: “So, to put it simply, the hydrostatic axis is to use the oil film to reduce the friction between gears or machines, extend the service life of the machine tool, and thus ensure the stability and smoothness of the machine tool operation.”

"So, the application range of this hydrostatic bearing is quite wide!" After listening to Zhou Tian's introduction, Director Yang quickly reacted. After all, as the leader of a steel mill, he knew very well how important a high-quality bearing was. For machinery factories and steel mills like theirs, this was undoubtedly a huge surprise.

"If you put it that way, it's true!"

Zhou Tian was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought about this. After all, he originally studied the liquid hydrostatic shaft only for the external cylindrical grinder.

"Then can we mass-produce it?" Director Yang suddenly asked after thinking for a moment.

"That should be no problem. The structure of the hydrostatic shaft itself is relatively simple, so it is not difficult to achieve mass production!"

"That's great, Director Lu, you heard it, right? The next matter will be handed over to you!" When Director Yang heard that mass production was possible, he immediately turned to Lu Guotao and gave instructions.

"Yes! Director!" Lu Guotao agreed reluctantly, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. The factory's tasks were already heavy, not only did they have to produce horizontal lathes, but they also had to produce the newly developed boring machines. Now, with the addition of the production of hydrostatic shafts, he could already imagine the workers complaining when the tasks were announced.

Although the number of workshops in the factory has increased to 20, they have just been built and the formal operation has to wait until the workers are trained. By then, the task may be reduced, but for now, it is indeed a headache for him.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhou Tian with a hint of resentment in his eyes. If it weren't for Zhou Tian, ​​he wouldn't have been forced to take on this task by the factory director.

Zhou Tian felt Lu Guotao's gaze and smiled and shook his head. He naturally understood what Lu Guotao meant, but he had never expected this. When he originally designed the cylindrical grinder, he had already taken into account the heavy workload of the factory and planned to wait until the workshop was fully built before embarking on large-scale manufacturing.

But he never expected that Director Yang would be interested in the hydrostatic shaft. This was something he had never expected. The main reason was that he underestimated the role of the hydrostatic shaft he invented.

At this moment, an old master in the workshop stood up and frowned and said, "Director, Master Zhou, Director, I think mass production is a bit unrealistic now."

As soon as these words came out, the three people immediately looked at him.

The old master didn't care, but continued:

"Although this hydrostatic shaft looks good and has a simple structure, our factory currently has limited manpower and it is still a bit difficult to mass produce it!"

Director Yang was slightly startled, looked at Zhou Tian and asked, "Xiaotian, what do you think?"

Zhou Tian thought for a moment and soon understood the crux of the problem. He asked, "Are you talking about the workers' problem?"

"Yes, there are not many master craftsmen in the factory now. Although there are many mid-level craftsmen, the production of horizontal lathes and boring machines is already beyond our capabilities. Now we have to produce hydrostatic shafts, but we simply don't have enough manpower. The structure of the hydrostatic shaft is not difficult, but with the ability of the workers who have just entered the factory, I am afraid they are not capable of making qualified parts!"

Zhou Tian frowned slightly at the master's words. After all, what the master said made sense, and this matter was indeed quite tricky, which he had not considered at the beginning. He thought about it and said, "What the master said makes sense, but I think we can start with small batch production. In this process, we can let the workers practice and gradually sum up their experience. As for expanding the scale and mass production, it seems that we can only wait until the workshop is fully completed and the workers are trained before mass production. What do you think, Director?"

Upon hearing this, Director Yang thought about the heavy workload in the factory. Although he was reluctant, he could only nod and agree: "Well, this method is feasible, let's do it this way first!"

"Okay, next, you guys should go and do what you need to do. By the way, Xiaotian, come with me!"

With that, Director Yang turned and walked out of the workshop, followed closely by Zhou Tian.

After leaving the workshop, Director Yang took Zhou Tian back to the office, asked his secretary to pour Zhou Tian a cup of tea, and then said, "Xiaotian, your application to join the organization has been approved. The organization agrees to your joining, and the probation period has ended. In other words, from today on, you officially become a member of the organization. This is the membership card issued to you by the organization. Take it!"

As he spoke, Director Yang took out a small red notebook from the drawer and handed it to Zhou Tian.

"It's down? That's great!" Zhou Tian was originally wondering why Director Yang called him here to inquire about the bearings, but he didn't expect it to be such great news.

Holding the membership card in his hand, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed. This small booklet was too important, especially in the system, it was his capital for continuous promotion.

And in this era, who doesn't want to have such a certificate? That's all a lie. What's more, he has always had ambitions in his heart. If he doesn't have this certificate, he won't dare to touch many things in the future, and he won't be able to touch them.

But now that he has this little red book, he can study more things with confidence and boldness.

"Okay, stop acting like an inexperienced person. Tell me why you didn't tell me about your research on the hydrostatic axis in advance?"

Director Yang looked at Zhou Tian's silly smile as he held the little red book, and asked unhappily.
