Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

After a while, Liu Yuan came in from outside with a few apprentices, pushing some materials and holding a thick stack of white paper in his hands.

"Junior brother, all the things have been brought!"

As he spoke, he handed the white paper in his hand to Zhou Tian. Zhou Tian told the apprentice to unload the materials aside, then he took out a pen and began to draw the blueprint of the lathe.

After drawing for a while, he handed a few drawings to Master and Zhang Qian and said, "Master, Master Zhang, these parts are now in your hands!"

Zhang Qian and Liu Wuming took the blueprint and took a look at it. Although they didn't understand what Zhou Tian explained, they could still understand the blueprint. They nodded and said, "Okay!"

After that, the two started the lathe and boring machine and began to process the materials.

While the two were working, Zhou Tian quickly took out the blueprint he had drawn last night from the space. Just as he stood up and was about to look for Nie Guodong, he saw Nie Guodong had already walked in from outside.

When he saw Zhang Qian and Liu Wuming processing parts, he was stunned for a moment.

"Did Master Zhou draw the blueprints so quickly? Or have they already started?"

Puzzled, he saw the blueprint in Zhou Tian's hand and couldn't help but walk up to him and ask, "Master Zhou, have you finished drawing the blueprint?"

It's no wonder that he was surprised. Although Zhou Tian was only modifying a lathe, the many structures on the lathe alone required a lot of professional drawings. In total, there were at least fifty or sixty drawings, if not more than a hundred.

If Zhou Tian managed to draw all the drawings in such a short time, then Master Zhou would be too amazing.

Zhou Tian couldn't help but laugh when he heard Nie Guodong's question and said, "Yes, it has been drawn, but these drawings have always existed in my mind, I just drew them out!"

He also knew that his answer, although a little unreasonable, was the most reasonable reason he could think of.

"I see!"

Nie Guodong did not have any doubts. He thought that Zhou Tian had already had the idea of ​​modifying the lathe in his mind and was just drawing it now. This eased his shock a lot, but he still admired Zhou Tian's extraordinary talent.

"Then can I take a look?"

Nie Guodong looked at the drawings in Zhou Tian's hand and couldn't help but ask with some itch.

He had thought about modifying machine tools when he was in the Northeast, but he failed every time. It was not because the structures of these machine tools were complicated, but because the overall strength of the domestic industry was limited. Even if he had an idea, he had no way to implement it.

However, after chatting with Zhou Tian about some ideas about machine tools yesterday, he got new inspiration from some of Zhou Tian's insights into machine tools. In particular, some of Zhou Tian's understanding of machine tools can be said to have opened a door for him that he had never thought of.

"of course can!"

Zhou Tian handed the drawing in his hand to Nie Guodong.

Nie Guodong immediately took the drawing carefully and began to read it. The more he read, the more excited he became, especially the concepts involved. It was as if he was analyzing the structure of the machine tool from another perspective.

Although he could only vaguely feel the value of some of Zhou Tian's theories at the beginning, he can now say responsibly that Zhou Tian's transformation theory is very suitable for existing domestic industries.

It even lit a beacon of progress for the domestic machine tool industry.

"Good! Good, very good!"

Looking at it, the excitement on Nie Guodong's face was simply beyond words.

Especially the design of its appearance made him want to scream out loud. Only after he finished reading the drawings in his hand did he look at Zhou Tian with unconcealable admiration and excitement in his eyes.

"Master Zhou, if I'm not mistaken, this design you made should be a horizontal lathe, right?"

"Technician Nie, do you know about horizontal lathes?"

Zhou Tian asked with some confusion.

"Of course I know that most of the mainstream lathes abroad are horizontal lathes. Unfortunately, due to the blockade of our country by foreign countries, we are still only using three-dimensional lathes!"

Nie Guodong said excitedly, and as he spoke, his gaze towards Zhou Tian became even more passionate.

"As far as I know, the horizontal lathe is many times better than the general lathe in terms of processing and stability. I didn't expect it. I thought Master Zhou just modified some parts of the lathe, but I didn't expect that Master Zhou actually made a huge satellite!"

"Technician Nie, thank you for your compliment. This is all thanks to Technician Nie and Deputy Director Yang for their support. Otherwise, even if I had a great idea, it would probably be difficult for a good cook to cook rice!"

What Zhou Tian said was not false. After all, if it were not for the support of Deputy Director Yang and Nie Guodong, he would probably still be processing gun barrels in the workshop.

As for turning your own design into a physical object, that is even more impossible.

"No! Master Zhou, you are too modest. You can design a horizontal lathe, which means you are better than me in the field of mechanics. If the higher-ups knew about this, I'm afraid it would be enough to evaluate you as an engineer!"

After listening to Zhou Tian's words, Nie Guodong directly denied it. He did not deny the contributions of him and Deputy Director Yang in this matter, but compared with the contributions, he valued Zhou Tian's future more.

Now the whole country is saving money on food and clothing and planning to develop industry with all its strength. If he knew that a horizontal lathe had already been designed in China, the sensation it caused would probably be even greater than he imagined.

"No, this matter cannot be leaked out. It must be kept strictly confidential. Master Zhou, wait a minute, I'll be back soon!"

Having said that, Nie Guodong turned around and ran outside with the blueprint.

"Is it really that important?"

Zhou Tian looked at the excited Nie Guodong and shook his head in some confusion. In fact, what Zhou Tian didn't know was that the horizontal lathe was truly successfully researched in 1955. With the help of the big brother, Shenyang No. Machinery Factory developed my country's first horizontal lathe.

The successful research of the horizontal lathe attracted great attention from the country and was even printed on the third set of two-yuan RMB. This shows how much importance the country attaches to the horizontal lathe.

And now Zhou Tian has taken a step ahead and drawn the blueprint of the lathe for the bedroom, so it is no wonder that Nie Guodong is so excited.

Of course, Zhou Tian was not aware of this.

However, after Nie Guodong left, he did not take it seriously. After all, although he did not know much about lathes in his previous life, he had seen pictures of lathes on the Internet.

Those lathes are basically horizontal lathes, which is why he modified the three-dimensional lathe into a horizontal lathe in the virtual space in his mind.

He also didn't think about what the emergence of the horizontal lathe meant for the country.

"Xiaotian, what happened to Technician Nie just now?"

Liu Wuming and Zhang Qian, who were concentrating on their work, did not notice Nie Guodong's arrival. Instead, Liu Yuan, who was doing nothing for a while, noticed it first.

However, out of respect for his leader, he did not step forward until he saw Technician Nie excitedly running out with the drawings. Then he walked up to Zhou Tian with a hint of curiosity and asked.

"It's okay, brother, it just seems like we are going to make a contribution!"

Zhou Tian said with some uncertainty.
