Scholars in the courtyard

The next day, Yang Xiaotao got up, cooked for himself, and then rode his bicycle to the steel rolling mill.

After a night of fermentation, everyone in the steel rolling mill knew everything that happened yesterday.

Everyone in the audience was excited about being able to obtain a special code-named task. Even those who were new to the factory understood the meaning under the explanation of the old man.

This time, it was a turning point for the steel rolling mill.

Once it was done, it rose to the top and became a national first-class priority.

If you can't do it, keep working hard, there will be opportunities later.

When he came to the office, Yang Xiaotao found Huang Degong and Wang Fa to explain the matter. Next, he would focus on the machine tool project, leaving the tractor and the Flying Eagle to them.

The current form of friendship is not optimistic. With the help of its huge industrial scale, the Grizzlies produced by the alliance have formed a huge advantage.

Friendship can only follow each other's footsteps and continue to lower prices. Of course, the consequence of this is that profits shrink rapidly and the foreign exchange earned becomes less and less.

Of course, for the country, even if you earn less, you still earn money. After all, if you don’t have friendship pot money, you won’t be able to earn even a penny of extra money.

In addition, there are only so many markets in the northwest countries. No matter how hard the alliance lowers the price, it is simply impossible to completely occupy the friendship market when the market becomes saturated.

Compared with the impact on friendship, Flying Eagle's exports are very good. The alliance has not yet come up with corresponding products, so Flying Eagle's market is huge.

During this period, the foreign exchange earned is no less than friendship.

The two of them also knew Yang Xiaotao's heavy burden and did not want him to be distracted by this matter, so they agreed that there would be no problem.

After arranging the chores, Yang Xiaotao went to the machine tool production base.

Yesterday, Chen Gong had already led people to clean up a warehouse. The machines drawn from various workshops and the electricity have been put in place. This will be the future production and assembly base of lathes.

Yang Xiaotao looked at it for a while. The machines were what everyone used on daily basis, so they were familiar with them.

Banners were hung on the surrounding walls, saying, "Listen to the leadership's command, be capable and work hard.", "Win glory for the steel rolling mill, and glory for the people.", "We workers have strength, and we are unstoppable when we are united."

There were many people on the left and right still cleaning up, and Lou Xiao'e even led the logistics team to help wipe the machines. There were also a row of jars of cold drinks prepared on the side.

Outside the warehouse, the number of people in the security department increased significantly.

After a while, Yang Youning also came over to take a look, and even instructed the logistics director to do a good job and give priority to the special team in all aspects.

After lunch, Yang Xiaotao brought Liu Daming and others over to familiarize themselves with the machine and start grouping them.

First, determine the working method. As Chen Bin said yesterday, the technician determines that working parts are needed, and the workers are responsible for making the parts on the drawings.

The four of them, Chen Bin, each led a team. In addition to workers, the team members also included some people from the technical team.

These people are not only responsible for distributing the compiled drawings to various workers, but also testing the completed components.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao asked them to follow because he wanted these people to understand the concept of machine tool design and connect it with actual work.

After all, these people will need help in the subsequent design of machine tools.

Now Yang Xiaotao is not only concerned about the present, but also the future.

In the afternoon, everyone was almost familiar with it. The machines were in place and the materials were in place. Everyone was divided into four groups, the division of labor was clear, and the work started.

"Before we start construction, I would like to emphasize discipline."

"We must strictly follow the accuracy requirements, no less, no more."

“Even if it’s a little slower, even if it’s too much waste, we still have to make a part that meets the requirements!”

Yang Xiaotao once again emphasized that there is no other way to start the work together. If there are so many people coming together, if there is no strict requirement, you will be a little bit worse than me, and the combination will be much worse.

After saying the request, Yang Xiaotao, who knew the truth about sticks and sweet dates, quickly started drawing cakes again.

"So, I hope that no matter how difficult it is, don't be discouraged. I believe that everyone has the ability to break through and challenge themselves."

"In the end, we were a unit. There were forty-three people present, including me."

"I hope that in the end, there will be forty-three of our names on the honor roll."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, everyone was excited. At the same time, they also understood that they had to put their minds aside and start processing parts at the request of the technicians.

Yang Xiaotao was not idle either and personally joined in the manufacturing of core components.

Here, his technology can bring a sense of security to everyone. There was no groundbreaking ceremony, no rewards and incentives, and no promises of promotion or fortune.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, everyone started to work.

Everyone present had only one goal in mind, to complete the mission.

Even if you don't eat, drink or rest, you still have to complete the task.

This is the state of the entire warehouse in the afternoon, or even after working until midnight.

For most of the day, apart from eating and going to the toilet, and taking a rest when I was too tired to work, I was either working or on the way to work.

Yang Xiaotao personally participated in it and realized that it was not easy to turn drawings into components.

Even if the same person makes a set of the same parts, there will be subtle differences due to the influence of energy, physical strength, time and environment.

Fortunately, what I did at the beginning were peripheral parts, relatively simple parts, and even the making of some screws.

In the following two days, everyone began to enter the state.

The manufactured parts have been tested and all meet the design requirements.

This encouraged everyone.

However, Yang Xiaotao has doubts about how long the workers can maintain this state. After all, most of the people here are over fifty!

When people are old, if they work hard for a long time, there is no guarantee that they will not get into trouble.

But if he were to force him to order more rest, these people might not be willing to listen.

Professionally, they do it.

But personally, I always think that if I pay more and work harder, I can complete the task earlier.

In this state, Yang Xiaotao was also brought into it, and he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the processing of components. As for other things, he didn't care at all.

In the past two days, I have almost become a transparent person in the factory. I eat, sleep and go to the toilet. I work in the factory all day long.

As the work progressed, the manufacturing of components became more and more troublesome, and the expressions on everyone's faces slowly declined from high to serious.

The work progress has also increased from a few parts a day to one or even half a day.

What followed was also a series of problems that had never been thought of.

"Team leader. Come on down!"

Yang Xiaotao, who was concentrating on his work, suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. Then he slowly put down his tools and moved his head before turning around.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that it was Chang Mingjie, Yang Xiaotao asked.

"Team leader, we have a problem here."

The two of them walked and talked, and Yang Xiaotao also understood what was going on.

"These two parts need to be welded together, but according to the requirements of the drawing, the welding thickness of the two parts cannot exceed three millimeters. This..."

Yang Xiaotao suddenly stopped and remembered something.

At present, domestic welding equipment basically comes from the alliance, and even less is produced domestically.

Alliance equipment is synonymous with roughness. To use this kind of equipment to achieve the required accuracy is like using a decimeter ruler to measure centimeter components, and it requires accuracy down to millimeters. This is not an ordinary difficulty.

Yang Xiaotao walked over quickly.

"Team leader!"

The worker in charge of welding had a red face and his chest was soaked with sweat. He didn't know whether he was afraid or ashamed, and his face was ugly.

"Team leader, this is Comrade Shi Qian, a seventh-level welder in our factory!"

Chang Mingjie introduced on the side, Shi Qian lowered his head, but the people around him said, "Although Xiaoshi is a seventh-level welder, his skills are no worse than his master, and this kid is talented, but he doesn't like to talk much."

Yang Xiaotao nodded. Since he can join the special team, don't even think about it if you don't have two brushes.

"What's happening here."

Looking at the two components on the ground, there were three or four finished products welded together, but they probably didn't pass the inspection, otherwise they wouldn't have continued.

"Director, I, I've done it many times!"

"But, this, this, the welding rod is like this, I..."

Shi Qian spoke nervously, but he held the welding rod in his hand steadily.

Yang Xiaotao pulled out a welding rod and examined it carefully.

These welding rods are all produced domestically.

“So what kind of welding rod do you need?”

"This, the welding core must be at least three millimeters!"

"Furthermore, the current conductivity should be better. The current conduction is slow. Electric welding of general parts is fine. But this time the requirements are high and we need to move quickly. The electric fusion is poor, so..."

Shi Qian was gesticulating with his hands, his face a little anxious, but he was speaking quite smoothly.

"If there were better welding rods and qualified welding rods, could you do it?"

Yang Xiaotao finally understood, but there was something wrong with the material.

"Yes, definitely yes!"

"Okay, I understand, don't worry about it, do something else first!"

Yang Xiaotao said a few words, then left the warehouse and found Chen Gong.

"That's what it is and the material needs to be addressed as quickly as possible."

Chen Gong looked at the welding rod handed over by Yang Xiaotao and nodded silently, "I will contact Shanghai in China. There are several welding factories there, which should be able to solve the problem."

"Okay, let's make arrangements as soon as possible. It will take some time to get here from Shanghai."

"rest assured."

"Also, how is the relationship between special steel and alloy steel?"

"Lao Yang has contacted Funing Special Steel and is making arrangements according to our requirements."

"It probably happened in the past two days."

"That's great. The progress is going smoothly now, but the materials must keep up."

"Don't worry, we will never let anything slip."

Yang Xiaotao confirmed some materials with Chen Gong before leaving.

Chen Gong sat back on the chair, took out a small notebook from the drawer, rummaged through it quickly, and muttered.

"I remember that the second company commander was in the Shanghai Electric Welding Factory, which one?"

"Haha, found it!"

Yang Xiaotao asked Chen Gong the question and returned to the warehouse to continue working.

As for the issue of electric welding, let’s put it aside for now and do what we can do first.

However, this incident also reminded Yang Xiaotao that some things cannot be accomplished by just one person, and the necessary hardware must be available.

Fortunately, Chen Gong is more capable. He came over in the afternoon and said that he had already contacted an electric welding factory in Shanghai. Although this factory is a small factory, it can make a batch of welding rods according to demand, but it will take two days. The time, including transportation, takes at least four days.

There is no way, transportation is inconvenient, I can only wait.

And domestic welding factories are basically all in Shanghai, so there is nothing we can do about this distance.

No matter what, this matter was finally resolved and it was considered smooth.

Four p.m

"Look at it all, look at it all."

Liu Daming stood aside and pointed at the parts in Zhang Guanyu's hand, looking very proud.

"Accuracy 2, this is the skill of our team leader."

Yang Xiaotao was smiling on the side, and Zhang Guanyu even raised the parts high from time to time for people to watch.

At this moment, Zhang Guanyu even thought that if Yang Xiaotao was given enough time, he could complete the machine tool alone.

There were constant compliments around him, and he was comparing himself with himself in his mind, and the admiration on his face became more and more obvious.

Hou Baobao on the other side said to the people in the same group, "Accuracy 2, this is not the limit of the team leader. Let me tell you, at that time..."

"Forget it, we can't talk about this."

Everyone's ears pricked up just as they wanted to hear some news. Unexpectedly, Bao Bao Hou stopped talking and almost ducked.

"You know, the team leader's skills are enough."

"We can achieve accuracy 2 for the things above, that's because we can only do this."

"The team leader achieved an accuracy of 2 because the design required an accuracy of 2."

Everyone suddenly realized.
