Chapter 31 Leaders Cut the Ribbon
In Lin Zhenhua's mind, it would take a week for Hu Yang to calculate those curves by hand. During this week, the research work can only be stopped first, and everyone can do their own work.

Unexpectedly, just one day after Lin Zhenhua finished explaining the finite element analysis to Hu Yang, Hu Yang ran to the metalworking workshop with a stack of draft paper to find Lin Zhenhua.

"Xiao Lin, I'm done with the calculations, come and help me see if there is any problem." Hu Yang's tone was somewhat excited.

"No way?" Lin Zhenhua was stunned, "Old Hu, how long did you count?"

"After you finished talking to me the day before yesterday, I went home and started to count. Yesterday I asked for a day off, and then I counted until just now, which is almost one day and two nights." Hu Yang said easily, because the continuous After staying up late, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body smelled like tobacco, presumably because he had been using cigarettes to refresh himself.

"You really don't have any computing equipment, just do the calculations by hand?" Lin Zhenhua flipped through the results of Hu Yang's calculation, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.Although he did not check the calculation, judging from the relationship between the data and the shape of the curve, Hu Yang's calculation should be correct.Not only that, he also found that the calculation formula written by Populus euphratica is very smooth, as if he has been doing this calculation all year round.

Hu Yang said with a smile: "I'm used to it. I've counted more difficult numbers than this. Of course, I didn't do it purely by hand. Didn't our ancestors still leave an abacus behind? Also, Qin Ying also helped me count Part of it."

"Master Qin also counts?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Hu Yang said: "She doesn't know differentiation, but she is a statistician, so there is no problem with abacus. I write out the calculation formula to her, and she uses the abacus to calculate the result."

Lin Zhenhua said apologetically, "Master Hu, actually, I really didn't expect you to work so hard. Otherwise, I should have counted with you. Our submerged arc welding project is not so nervous. Let Zhu The factory manager will grant you a few days off, and you can just sit at home and count it slowly."

Hu Yang shook his head: "It's not just for submerged arc welding, Xiao Lin, I really like this finite element analysis, the more I think about it, the more I feel that this thing is really easy to use, when this person is excited, he doesn't feel sleepy or tired gone."

Lin Zhenhua moved and said: "Master Hu, there are actually many things about finite element analysis. If you are interested, I will tell you everything I know some other day."

"It's a deal!" Hu Yang said happily, "Xiao Lin, I will worship you as my teacher."

Lin Zhenhua waved his hands again and again: "Master Hu beat me, I just learned this by chance. In terms of comprehension of this method, I am far behind you. I think, if you could read a If you have a Ph.D. from MIT, give you another laboratory, then it is not a foreigner who invented finite element analysis, but you, Master Hu.”

With the preliminary calculation results, the following things are simple.Lin Zhenhua designed a set of experimental plans, listing different combinations of flux, steel, current and other parameters, and handed them over to Fan Shibin and Feng Xu, asking them to organize welders to conduct experiments one by one.The flaw detector is waiting at the side with the ultrasonic flaw detector. Every time a weld is welded, the flaw detector will go forward to inspect and record the detailed results.

Lin Zhenhua and Hu Yang are responsible for analyzing the results and establishing experimental curves.After Hu Yang studied with Lin Zhenhua for a few days, he came from behind and analyzed the data better than Lin Zhenhua.Lin Zhenhua was ashamed for a few days at first, and then he accepted the reality. One of the excuses he made for himself was that he was used to computer calculations in his previous life, and he couldn’t work without a computer. As an amateur math enthusiast, Hu Yang has always been Accustomed to counting by hand, so in bad conditions, the performance is much better than yourself.

After the experimental curve was fully established, Lin Zhenhua began to modify the original submerged arc welding machine design drawing. According to the experimental results, the parameters of many electronic components needed to be reset, and the mechanical parts also needed to be adjusted.Hu Yang and engineers from the technical department also joined in the work of modifying the drawings. They have more experience in mechanical design than Lin Zhenhua. Some technical problems that Lin Zhenhua could not solve could be solved in a short while.

Lin Zhenhua sometimes felt that he was quite sad. According to countless time-traveling legends, time-travelers are all the ones who stand out from the crowd wherever they go. They are number one in martial arts, number one in IQ, and even number one in killing girls and young women.However, although my time-traveling people have decades of insight ahead of them, as long as others learn a little, they will surpass themselves.A Populus euphratica who claims to have only a high school education has learned finite element analysis from him for a few days, and now he has come from behind.A group of engineers in the technical department had never seen the drawings of submerged arc welding in the past, and now they worked for a few days, and the proposal they proposed was much better than Lin Zhenhua's.

In fact, it's not surprising that this happened. Lin Zhenhua was just a graduate student before time travel, and his knowledge is enough, but his basic skills and experience are far from the opponents of others.His strength lies in using the cheating tool of foresight, and other talents cannot be easily added.

"How is the situation now?" Zhu Tiejun asked the research team like this every day.

"The progress is very smooth. The final drawing can be completed today, and the order can be placed and processed tomorrow." Fan Shibin replied cheerfully.

"Okay, this time your technical department has done a great job."

"Where is it, the first achievement is Xiaolin." Fan Shibin said while pulling Lin Zhenhua.

"That's true, Xiao Lin is the first." Zhu Tiejun nodded.

Lin Zhenhua shook his head: "Director Zhu, Chief Fan, please don't make fun of me. I am the only one who has the most free time in the entire research team. I found that everyone knows more about submerged arc welding than I do. In contrast , The picture I drew back then was simply rubbish."

Fan Shibin said: "Xiao Lin, you are wrong. The principle of submerged arc welding was first heard by you, but we still don't understand it until now. The relevant parameters are all measured by you after designing the experiment. Yes, no one can replace your role."

Zhu Tiejun patted Lin Zhenhua on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Lin, you have a broad vision and know a lot. This is your strength. If it weren't for you, everyone would still be groping in the dark for the project of submerged arc welding. However, After all, you are too young and inexperienced in some aspects, while the old comrades have rich experience. Once they master the principles, they will naturally find better solutions to problems. In this regard, you still need to learn from the old comrades with an open mind. right."

"I understand, I understand." Lin Zhenhua said solemnly.

Lin Zhenhua's attitude is not just a pretense, but a sincere feeling.He remembered that when he was a graduate student at Huaqing University, his supervisor, Professor Yao Heliang, also said the same thing. He said that in fact, the real masters are in the front line of production, and true knowledge comes from practice. This is not an empty phrase.

"Young man, that's right, you didn't embarrass our army." Zhu Tiejun said, "A few days ago, the factory management committee agreed to change your job. A young man with comprehensive skills like you is too talented to be a porter. You think about it, see what type of work you want to do, and I will do it for you when the submerged arc welding test run is successful."

Lin Zhenhua shook his head: "Director Zhu, thank you for your kindness, but I think this is pretty good now. I still like the porter job."

"What a dou who can't be helped!" Zhu Tiejun scolded.

Fan Shibin interjected from the side: "Director Zhu, I think that an outstanding talent like Xiaolin should not be placed in the workshop, but should come to our technical department. First, he will be replaced by workers. In the future, the factory office should try to solve the problem for him. A cadre establishment. I think that although Xiaolin only has a junior high school diploma, his level is higher than many of our college students."

"This is also a way, Xiao Lin, what do you mean?" Zhu Tiejun looked at Lin Zhenhua and asked.

Lin Zhenhua now knows a lot about the things of this era. He knows that this society is divided into many levels.First of all, the difference between urban and rural areas is the biggest grade difference. People in the city are called workers, and people in the countryside are called farmers. Comparing the two, one is definitely in the sky and the other is in the ground.When it comes to employees, there is another step, which is the distinction between cadres and workers.Cadres are under the management of the personnel department, while workers are under the management of the labor department, and wages and benefits are different.

However, it is very difficult for a worker to become a cadre because the cadre status represents better treatment.In many units, there is such a name as "replacing work with work", that is, as a worker, first do the work of a cadre, and after a period of time, when there is a target, you will officially become a cadre.Being able to do work instead of work is a step up for many workers. Among other things, the targets are much more sought-after than ordinary workers.

Fan Shibin's proposal may be very attractive to other workers, but it has no effect on Lin Zhenhua.Lin Zhenhua knows that all these workers, cadres, and work-for-work are just floating clouds. Once they go to the market, these identities will become meaningless.

"Director Zhu, Section Chief Fan, let's put this issue aside for now, and we'll talk about it after the second-class pressure vessel forensics is completed." Lin Zhenhua took a procrastination method and avoided Fan Shibin's invitation.

The time for the test run of the submerged arc welding machine finally came. Two steel plates with beveled grooves were placed in the center of the container workshop, and two guide rails for supporting the welding machine were laid along the joints of the steel plates. An exquisitely crafted trolley is parked at one end of the guide rail, which is the submerged arc welding machine.Below the welding machine, a small section of steel column protrudes, which is the conductive tip of the welding machine. The welding wire protrudes from the conductive tip and hangs above the welding seam, waiting for the welding operation to start.

The workers in the container workshop all put down their work and gathered around the test site.Lin Zhenhua, Hu Yang, Fan Shibin and others repeatedly checked the welding machine many times, trying their best to be sure.

"Okay, Director Zhu, we can start the test run now." Feng Xu, director of the container workshop, reported to Zhu Tiejun.

"Who will operate it for the first time?" Zhu Tiejun asked.

Lin Zhenhua and the others looked at each other, but they all smiled and said nothing.

"Why, are you afraid to go forward, or do you want to give this opportunity to others?" Zhu Tiejun asked strangely.

"Director Zhu, you are asking the question knowingly. Such a ribbon-cutting opportunity must be handed over to the leader." Lin Zhenhua couldn't help reminding.

Zhu Tiejun was stunned for a moment before realizing what Lin Zhenhua meant. He pointed to his nose and asked, "Why, do you want me to burn the first seam?"

"Exactly. Director Zhu, we are waiting for you to cut the ribbon." Feng Xu said.

Zhu Tiejun laughed loudly: "Okay, I am willing to cut this color." After finishing speaking, he walked forward and pressed the button on the submerged arc welding machine.

The transmission motor hummed softly, and the welding machine moved forward slowly along the guide rail.The wire feed wheel rotates lightly, pushing the welding wire downward, and the flux box on the side is also opened, and the flux flows down at the set speed, just covering the welding sparks bursting out when the welding wire touches the workpiece.Where the welding machine walked, it left a weld seam as smooth as fish scales.

"Papa, papa!" Feng Xu took the lead in clapping his hands, and the workers followed suit, and thunderous applause resounded in the workshop.

"Director Zhu, this weld is so beautiful, it's almost at the level of an eighth-grade welder!" Feng Xu applauded while complimenting Zhu Tiejun, flattering louder than applause.

Of course, Zhu Tiejun knew that the quality of this weld had nothing to do with whether he was wise or not. Lin Zhenhua and others had already set all the parameters, and he just pressed the button.However, Zhu Tiejun was still very excited to see the excellent effect of the welding machine. Anyway, submerged arc welding is a project he has single-handedly grasped. The success of this project is of course due to his leadership.

"Congratulations!" Zhu Tiejun shook hands with the members of the research team one by one, and then announced: "Everyone has worked hard, and I will give you three days off. After three days, Lao Fan, Lao Feng, Xiao Lin, and Yang Master Chunshan, let's take this submerged arc welding machine to the petrochemical machine for inspection."
