Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

If he hadn't gone to the workshop this time, he really wouldn't have thought that Zhou Tian had made new achievements. This really gave him a headache about Zhou Tian.

Although Zhou Tian was constantly developing new things, which enabled him to repeatedly gain merit and accumulate a lot of political capital for him, this kid had a problem, which was that he would not report every new result to him immediately.

This made him extremely passive. He might be able to tolerate it once or twice, but it happened every time, which really made him feel helpless.

Just like when he was researching the rice mill, if he hadn't asked proactively, the kid might not have been willing to tell him.

"Director, when I was researching cylindrical grinders, I suddenly thought of the liquid hydrostatic shaft." Zhou Tian touched his head and said with a slightly embarrassed expression.

In fact, Zhou Tian didn't really take this matter to heart. After all, in his impression, he always felt that the hydrostatic shaft was not something of vital importance. He just researched it while studying the cylindrical grinder in order to make the cylindrical grinder run more smoothly and with more precision, relying on his past life memories.

But he forgot that although liquid hydrostatic shafts were not rare items in the previous life, it was completely different in this era!

"What? You are still researching cylindrical grinders?" Director Yang opened his eyes wide, his mouth slightly open, his face full of disbelief, and he seemed to be frozen in place, stunned.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses. His calm face was now filled with a complex expression of surprise and confusion. He had wanted to ask Zhou Tian to let him know in advance if he wanted to research something, but now that he heard that Zhou Tian was still researching cylindrical grinders, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

"Xiaotian, what is the progress of your research?" Director Yang's voice unconsciously raised a few degrees, his eyes fixed on Zhou Tian, ​​his eyes full of eagerness and expectation.

"Director, the drawings have all been completed, but you know the current situation in our factory. I think even if we take out the drawings now, we will not be able to produce them at all!"

When Director Yang heard that the drawings were completed, he almost jumped up with excitement. He was about to say that he would process one machine right away, but when he heard Zhou Tian's next words, the words on his lips seemed to be frozen suddenly, and he could only swallow them helplessly. At this moment, his expression became extremely wonderful, first surprise, then disappointment, and finally entanglement, with several emotions constantly changing on his face.

He no longer knew how to describe his mood at the moment, regret, happiness, or excitement.

He never imagined that there would come a day when he would be unable to digest too many achievements.

He hadn't yet fully digested the matter of the liquid hydrostatic shaft, and now an external cylindrical grinder had popped up.

"No, the workshop equipment must be completed immediately, and the workers must be trained in the shortest possible time!" Director Yang stamped his feet anxiously, waving his hands constantly, as if this would solve all the problems immediately. His brows were furrowed, the wrinkles on his forehead were squeezed together, and his eyes revealed determination and resolve.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. After all, he was reluctant to hand over either of these two projects, and if he wanted to do so, he had to properly resolve the issues of the workshop and the workers.

"Xiaotian, let's put it this way. Let's keep the matter of the cylindrical grinder and the liquid hydrostatic shaft secret for now. I'll go to the department again. This time I must get back all the equipment except the lathe and boring machine!" Director Yang said as he paced back and forth, looking nervous and anxious.

"But don't be idle. During this time, you should plan the equipment that needs to be installed in the workshop first and wait for my news. I'm going to go right away. I'll feel like I'm losing out if I miss even a minute!" Director Yang's voice trembled at the end. Before he finished speaking, he immediately shouted to Zheng Weiguo: "Weiguo, go and arrange a car for me. I want to go to the department!"

Having said that, he didn't even bother to greet Zhou Tian and walked quickly outside in a hurry.

"Well, I didn't expect that I would take on more troubles for myself!"

Looking at Director Yang's departing back, Zhou Tian sighed helplessly. Originally, due to the heavy workload at the factory during this period, their technical department only had a dozen people and was already extremely busy.

But now Director Yang has handed the workshop matters over to him again, which made Zhou Tian couldn't help but complain in his heart.

No matter how much he complained, Zhou Tian still had to take the factory director's orders seriously.

In the next few days, Zhou Tian never met the factory director in the factory. Following the factory director's instructions, he started to send people to clean the workshop first, and then he and several colleagues from the technical department used some free time to make plans for installing equipment in the workshop in advance.

In addition, the twenty processed horizontal lathes and boring machines were placed in the planned area of ​​the workshop and fixed.

Since the factory is very busy now, he has not drawn drawings for other machine tools during this period. Every day, he and his colleagues in the technical department are either repairing old machine tools in the factory or on the way to repair machine tools.

There is no time to rest.

Ten days later, more than a dozen trucks slowly drove into the steel rolling mill and stopped at the door of the new workshop.

Zhou Tian had just sat down to rest in the office. Less than ten minutes later, he received the news and hurriedly brought his people to the new workshop.

Director Yang was seen talking to a middle-aged man in military uniform.

"Xiaotian, come here!"

Seeing Zhou Tian from afar, Director Yang waved and shouted at him excitedly, his face filled with joy that was hard to conceal.

"Director!"

Zhou Tian walked over quickly, but his eyes were directed at the middle-aged man in military uniform.

"Xiaotian, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Wu Ming, the captain of our armed forces logistics transport team."

"Hello, Comrade Wu Ming!"

Zhou Tian quickly stretched out his hand to the other party and said.

"Hello, Zhou Tian, ​​I have heard of you for a long time!"

Wu Ming looked at Zhou Tian, ​​stretched out his hand and held Zhou Tian's hand tightly, but suddenly smiled.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tian couldn't help but look at Wu Ming in confusion.

Wu Ming looked at the confusion in the two people's eyes and explained: "Old Qian and I were once comrades-in-arms, and Old Qian has mentioned Zhou Tian in front of me many times! He is full of praise for him!"

"Is it Chief Qian?"

Zhou Tian suddenly understood what was going on when he heard this, and quickly said, "It's all because of the leader's kindness. I don't deserve it!"

"Okay, don't be so modest. I know who Lao Qian is. But now that we know each other, we should keep in touch. Now let's get down to business. Let's put the machine tool in place first!"

Listening to Zhou Tian's words, Wu Ming spoke frankly.

"Yes, business is more important!" Director Yang nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of joy.

As he was speaking, Lu Guotao came over with a group of workers.

Soon, with the concerted efforts of everyone, the machine tool parts were carried into the workshop one after another, and Zhou Tian also directed everyone to place the parts in the planned positions until everyone had carried all the machine tool parts in.

He then started the installation with a group of technical staff.

After all the machine tools in the twenty workshops were installed, a month had passed and the weather in the city began to get cold.

The north wind in October kept howling, leaving the surrounding trees bare, without any trace of green.

"Chief, the milling machine in Workshop 18 has been installed!"

"Chief, the installation of the number 10 grinder has been completed!"

"Chief, the drilling machine for number 20 has been installed!"

Finally, at the end of October, with the installation of the last drilling machine, all the machine tools in twenty workshops had been installed.

For more than a month, Zhou Tian and his colleagues in the technical department had to eat and live in the workshop. Fortunately, their hard work paid off.

Through Zhou Tian's continuous guidance and explanation for a month, more than a dozen technical department personnel have mastered a lot of machine tool-related knowledge through hands-on practice and achieved his previous requirements ahead of schedule.

Under his careful instruction, I was almost on par with the graduates from general mechanical colleges in both hands-on ability and knowledge level.

I have initially been able to keep up with his research pace.

If the factory director had not sent so many machine tools, even if he wanted to teach them, it would probably take at least half a year. Now, with this training and explanation, they can be said to have saved several months of learning time.

Of course, this is also the result of their own efforts.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard. After work, no one should leave. I will treat you to shabu-shabu mutton!"

Zhou Tian clapped his hands, looked at the thirteen colleagues in the technical department whose eyes were red due to fatigue, and announced loudly.

"Great, Chief, are we going to Donglaishun?"

"Chief, I want to go to Donglaishun. I want to eat one plate, no, I want to eat three plates of mutton!"

When they heard that the section chief was going to take them to eat mutton hotpot, they all shouted with joy, not caring at all about their work clothes and hands that were covered in engine oil, and they all clapped and cheered.

I just felt all the fatigue in my body was swept away, and my face was full of excitement.
