Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 77 Do you still develop machine tools?

Factory director's office.

Yang Weimin was a little confused: "Big Brother's machine tools are still quite solid. Why did both of them suddenly break down at the same time?"

Machine tool repair is also one of the important tasks of the engineering department, so Jiang Chen came to see the factory director.

Most of the machine tools in factories now are made by Wanguo.

There are items left over from childhood, items from West Germany, and a small number of beautiful domestic products that were not taken away.

Of course, it is best to use the latest ones, the ones assisted by Big Brother.

There are also relatively large numbers.

Although the engineering department did not dare to touch this batch of machine tools, once the machine tools broke, the workers would only call the engineering department.

They don't care about the reason. As long as you can't solve the problem, it means the engineering department is not doing its job well.

Jiang Chen spread his hands and said: "After all, it has been used for so many years. The parts are aging and severely worn. It is normal for it to malfunction."

"It's the end of the year now, and we can't afford to delay at this time. So my suggestion is to first transfer the machine tools in the warehouse to the workshop while contacting Big Brother engineers to come over for repairs."

Flower growers are in short supply of machine tools now, and many factories don’t even have enough for normal use.

Only the No. 3 Steel Factory, which was selected as a model enterprise, recruited a large number of workers and stocked up on machine tools in order to expand its production capacity.

Yang Weimin nodded: "This is the only way we can do it. No matter what, we must first meet the production requirements of the workshop. Now is the critical stage of the sprint."

"I hope Big Brother's engineers can come and repair the machine tools within this month. Otherwise, when these employees are trained and put into production, our machine tools will become tense."

Jiang Chen said: "Are they so slow? Can't they repair two machine tools in a month?"

Yang Weimin sighed: "After the Long Wave Radio and Combined Fleet incidents, Big Brother's assistance to us is no longer as dedicated as before."

"I don't know if the machine tool maintenance this time can be like before, although their efficiency was not very high before."

Jiang Chen had an impression of this.

After the rude and unprincipled Comrade Xiaofu gained a foothold, the value of the flower grower was not as high as before.

Coupled with these two incidents, he was very unhappy.

Not only was the technical assistance for mushroom eggs delayed, but a year and a half later, experts from various industries suddenly began to be withdrawn in batches.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "How about I go try and see if I can fix it?"

Yang Weimin was startled: "Can you still repair machine tools?"

Jiang Chen said: "Machine tool repair and maintenance is one of the important job responsibilities of the engineering department. How could I not do this?"

Yang Weimin explained: "I'm talking about Big Brother's machine tools."

Jiang Chen shook his head: "I haven't really repaired this before, but at the Sichuan Steel Rolling Mill, I repaired machine tools from my childhood and West German machine tools. I think the principles are similar."

"With a little research, as long as the key parts are not damaged, it should be repairable."

At that time, the original person actually independently repaired the machine tools left behind from his small life.

It's just that after the assembly is completed, there will be some extra parts for you.

The machine tool can be used, but it always feels a bit stumbling when used, and the efficiency is not as good as before.

However, Jiang Chen has been deeply involved in the development of machine tools recently. No matter what kind of machine tool it is, repairing it is a piece of cake.

Tao Yuan objected: "No, Big Brother strictly prohibits us from using their machine tools privately. This time is already sensitive, so we can't do this."

"If this were to be known to them, it would most likely become a political incident and give them a reason to refuse to assist us."

They are not allowed to tamper with their machine tools because they are worried that the flower growers will master the core technology of the machine tools.

You can take what I give you, but don’t even think about what I don’t give you. In fact, this is also a kind of other kind of choke point.

Yang Weimin sighed: "Hey, we can't produce this kind of machine tools ourselves. It's really frustrating." Jiang Chen said: "Actually, the reason why I want to repair machine tools is to study Big Brother's machine tools to see if I can use them from Learn from experience and develop our own machine tools."

"I deal with machine tools every day, and I have always had the idea of ​​developing machine tools. In addition, I recently read some precious information left by senior Lowry, and I have gained a lot. I want to verify it with this relatively advanced product."

Luo Xue's father's bookshelf is now in Jiang Chen's house.

There are indeed a lot of books related to machine tool development in it, but they were all written more than ten or twenty years ago and are a bit backward now.

But these are not important, as long as they are there.

Real knowledge is in his space.

Therefore, as long as he has some alone time with Engineer Lao Maozi, it doesn't matter whether he can get the technology from him.

Yang Weimin looked at Jiang Chen like a monster: "Are you still studying machine tools?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Who is engaged in technology, who doesn't want to study machine tools. It's just that many people just think about it, and I help them act."

"Whether it is stiffness, thermal deformation, vibration, and accuracy at the theoretical level, or layout, transmission, and control at the application level, I have an in-depth understanding of it."

Yang Weimin thought for a long time and looked at Tao Yuan: "How about we let Xiao Jiang try it?"

"Anyway, the machine tool is broken, so let him do it. If it really doesn't work, call Big Brother's engineers to repair it."

"If this happens, we can make some changes, right?"

With the lessons learned from the training system, his trust in Jiang Chen has reached an unprecedented level.

Tao Yuan frowned and said: "Old Yang, Old Yang, what are you thinking about? Do you think it is so easy to develop machine tools? If the matter spreads and affects the friendship between the two countries, who among us can afford this responsibility?"

"You have to know that there is no airtight wall in the world. Therefore, if you study this matter in private, you should not mention it again. I will pretend that I have never heard of it. This is a matter of principle and there is no way to change it."

"And the core technology of Big Brother's machine tools is not so easy to master."

Jiang Chen was stunned: "Can't we mention private research again? What do you mean?"

Tao Yuan said: "This machine tool is broken. We must ask Big Brother's engineer to repair it. He understands technology!"

"Instead of blindly researching, you might as well take advantage of the engineer's arrival to trick him out and see if he can extract key information."

Yang Weimin said: "This is too difficult. When the Big Brother engineer comes, he even has to designate the translator. He is not even allowed to watch during maintenance."

"How could he tell us the technology without even showing it to us?"

Tao Yuan said: "It depends on human effort. If you don't try it, who knows what the result will be. What if it happens?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "It seems that it is also a way."

"People will have shortcomings. If there are shortcomings, you can find ways to make them speak."

Tao Yuan nodded: "That's what I mean."

"Okay, I'll contact the Ministry of Industry and ask them to submit a maintenance request. Find out which engineer is here, and then find his information and prescribe the right medicine."

Yang Weimin nodded: "Okay, I will arrange for the logistics department to replace the broken machine tools. Our production cannot be slowed down."

"I heard that this year's steel production can reach more than 1300 million tons, which is a huge increase. We who are engaged in processing must not be held back."

In 58, steelmaking was in full swing.

With a lot of investment in manpower and material resources, the output will naturally increase, but the quality is somewhat unsatisfactory.

Of the more than 1300 million tons of steel, only 800 million tons are qualified.

Although it has increased by nearly 57% compared to 50, it is still far from the goal of 1070.

Of course, Yang Weimin doesn't know this at the moment. He only knows that steel production has surged and that he is under huge pressure.

Jiang Chen nodded: "Then I'll prepare for the level promotion assessment. I'll finish this matter as soon as possible. When Big Brother's engineer comes over, I can focus on his side."
