Scholars in the courtyard

After some humility, everyone got down to business.

Soon, Yang Xiaotao brought the drawings of the punch machine, and several old masters immediately came forward to check them, and soon they started arguing.

Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin on the side looked at each other with triumphant smiles.

In the warehouse.

The movement of the Morning Star has stopped, but the debate among the people continues.

Yang Xiaotao was surrounded in the middle and kept explaining to several people. Liu Daming and others also joined the discussion when they saw it.

It is not easy to design a punch press these days. That is to say, Yang Xiaotao can use error correction to continuously correct the bugs in the card system. Of course it takes a lot of paper, but you can find shortcuts.

As for other people, if they want to design a machine tool, they must not only study systematically, but also have certain experience. Therefore, when they see the drawings, most people have doubts about the design.

If you don't understand, just ask, but a few old masters won't care.

Several people were discussing the drawings one by one in the warehouse, and Chen Bin and others joined in to calculate the data.

Although they didn't know how Yang Xiaotao designed the drawings, in their calculations, the data were consistent with the design, and they were even more impressed by Yang Xiaotao's drawing skills.

A few people started discussing, almost leaving the others aside.

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning have long been accustomed to this situation. When Yang Xiaotao did this in the past, they often waited aside for half a day.

Xiaoqiang and others quickly found stools, and not only did Yang Youning and others sit down, but Yang Xiaotao and others also sat down. After a heated discussion, they drank some water and continued.

When Xia Lao rested and came to the warehouse, he saw an eager Master Zhou asking for a practical inspection to test the performance of the machine tool through practical operations.

He also directly proposed to make a punch press and at the same time check the accuracy of the machine tool and the condition of the punch press.

Mr. Xia was confused by these old guys. Although he had already set the tone for the test and knew that he wanted to press, he didn't expect that the first person to bring it up was the person he brought.

He turned around and looked at Yang Youning doubtfully. When he saw him looking over, he immediately turned around to talk to Liu Huaimin, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao. This boy was holding the water cup and drinking it one sip at a time, even slower than a turtle.

I immediately understood that these guys had their minds set on these masters.

However, this is also a good thing.

The steel rolling mill has gradually become his trump card. Strengthening the steel rolling mill's capabilities requires not only machines, but also people.

Of course, he could only say whether he could stay or not. What was important was that the steel rolling mill kept his heart.

At that moment, Mr. Xia agreed to the practical test.

Then the steel rolling mill immediately sent the prepared materials to the warehouse. Yang Xiaotao took the drawings and explained them to several old masters. At the same time, he transferred a few people from the technical department to follow behind the old masters.

These people are all advanced fitters, and their purpose is self-evident.

呲呲

Fortunately, there is no shortage of materials used in the punch press, and Yang Xiaotao and the others just treat it as an ordinary machine tool.

Even so, Master Zhou, who is responsible for controlling the machine tool, is still filled with emotion after processing the parts one by one from the drawings.

First of all, this machine tool is very easy to use. It is much easier to use than the one in their factory. It has high precision and saves time and effort.

Secondly, the design is so good that even the errors are taken into account. As long as you do it according to the requirements, it will be correct.

And these two things are actually related to Yang Xiaotao, which is more than just emotion.

There is also admiration.

Looking at the young man who was giving them instructions, he knew clearly that this man was still an eighth-level master fitter, and the pride of himself and others meant nothing in front of others.

"Master Yang, how was this data designed?"

"This one is slanted fifty degrees."

Yang Xiaotao was doing a demonstration on the side, and the master in charge of the operation quickly took care of it, processed the parts, and then handed them over to Liu Daming and the others.

Amid everyone's intense work, two days passed quietly.

During the past two days, Liu Huaimin and Liu Ruichao had other things to go back to deal with, and Mr. Xia was the only one left at the scene. Even so, the security level of the steel rolling mill was improved by several levels.

As for those masters, they all come in early every day and go back late every day.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao and others had to accompany them throughout the whole process, and they were not idle.

During this period, Yang Xiaotao had two phone calls with Wang Dahai. Not surprisingly, Liu Dehui also needed a punch press. In addition, there was also a need for a milling machine. Yang Xiaotao could only say that it was still being designed and would definitely be equipped with one in the future. .

In the past two days, because of Wang Dahai's intervention, Quancheng had sent the purchase order for punches to Liu Huaimin's desk. Yang Xiaotao had already dealt with him about this matter, and Liu Huaimin had no reason not to allow it.

As a result, these two orders became the earliest machine tool business for the steel rolling mill.

At noon on the third day, everyone who was resting in the steel rolling mill suddenly heard someone shouting again, and then saw many people running towards the warehouse area.

There were a lot of people watching the fun, and they quickly followed. The people from the security department didn't care, they just maintained order.

Soon, a burst of cheers was heard from the warehouse, followed by violent applause.

After asking around, it turned out that the machine tools of the steel rolling mill were used to make them, and two of them were made at one time.

It has been promoted within the steel rolling mill before, and recently it has been reviewed by senior officials. Now judging from the momentum, it should be done.

So, those who came behind also joined the wave of cheers.

Inside the warehouse, applause was still ringing, but everyone's eyes were focused on the middle.

There, two machine tools, one large and one small, lay quietly on the ground.

The smaller one is the punch press that Yang Xiaotao just assembled.

The first punch press produced in a steel rolling mill.

In front of the crowd, I saw a bunch of old masters with tears in their eyes looking at a machine tool that was about one meter long, half as wide, and one and a half meters high.

At this time, Liu Daming once again had a pot lid and pot body in his hand. He closed it with a swipe and held it in his hand, weighing it. He was very happy.

Beside them, Mr. Xia clenched Yang Xiaotao's hand with excitement, not caring about the putty on Yang Xiaotao's hand.

"Okay, great! Great!"

A few simple words were not repeated in Xia Lao's mouth.

Yang Youning even hugged Chen Gong.

The punch press was developed and started to move.

This means that the Venus machine tool is officially completed and the mission is completed.

Master Zhou looked at the pot body that was easily pressed out under the influence of the model, and raised his hands to applaud vigorously.

Pa~~

Outside the warehouse, the director of the Publicity Department who was notified immediately ordered people to light firecrackers, and red debris was spread on the ground.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"Fortunately!"

Mr. Xia shook hands with all those involved in the project. At this moment, he knew that the morning star had become.

On the side, Yang Xiaotao held hands with Master Zhou.

"Master Zhou, thank you!"

Master Zhou shook his head, feeling excited.

Seeing the punch machine in front of him running continuously, Yang Xiaotao especially admired these masters.

If they were allowed to rub this punch with their hands, they wouldn't be able to eat it for less than half a month. With the help of machine tools, this time can be shortened by half, and with the operation of these masters, the time becomes three days.

This is efficiency.

"No, this machine tool is good." Master Zhou also sighed with emotion. He has never used such a good machine tool.

“The precision of this machine tool allows us to make more precise parts.”

"It can be said that the machine tool has 50% of the credit for successfully completing the task this time!"

Yang Xiaowei looked at Daystar who was being inspected and maintained by Chang Mingjie, and nodded with emotion, "Yes!"

"This is the power of machinery!"

Master Zhou glanced at Daystar with envy in his eyes, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao.

"The machine takes up 50%, us old guys take 10%, and the remaining 40% is your drawing!"

“It’s not that no one has been making punch presses in recent years, but the ones they make are, to be honest, not even half as good as this one!”

"Why are the parts not running in well? Problems will occur after a short time, or the power is insufficient. It's OK to stamp ordinary materials, but it's so laborious to stamp steel like this!"

Yang Xiaotao did not refuse Master Zhou's compliment, but when the applause gradually subsided, he stepped forward and whispered, "Mr. Zhou, we are preparing to design a milling machine."

Immediately, Master Zhou's eyes lit up.

"Director Xiao Yang, you are going to do the work of our machine tool factory."

Master Zhou smiled and said, "If you continue like this, you won't give us a way to survive."

Yang Xiaotao chuckled and said, "Gong Zhou, do you want the drawings for the punch press in our manufacturing factory?"

"Um?"

Master Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao in surprise.

This blueprint is a treasure of a factory. If the superiors don't recruit it, no one will want it.

Even if the superiors call for help, some factories will refuse to pay them, and there is nothing they can do.

Just like the blueprint of the steam engine, the superiors asked the steel rolling mill for it, and everyone in the city knew about it.

Just like this punch press design, as long as it is circulated, others dare not say that the Red Arrow Machine Tool Manufacturing Company where he works is fully capable of manufacturing it.

This is very important to their machine tool factory.

Especially at this juncture, they don't want to be the chicken that scares the monkey.

"are you serious?"

"Of course, our steel rolling mill has always been built for the revolution and has no selfish motives."

Master Zhou was in awe after hearing this.

But in the next sentence, Yang Xiaotao took a turn for the worse and almost let him get out of the way.

"However, Zhou Gong, we are so short of machine tool masters here. We hope you can help here and bring out a few apprentices."

"Come on, Xiaotao, sit here!"

Outside the steel rolling mill warehouse, a group of people were preparing to take photos.

At this moment, above the head of the warehouse, a newly made mold was hung on it.

"Participants of the Venus Rolling Machine, the first machine tool of the Red Star Rolling Mill, took a group photo. July 14, 1964"

At the front, there was a row of chairs, all brought from various departments. Behind them was the table, and behind them were Zhuo Zi and chairs.

Such three rows include not only the twenty-six people in the special team, but also the master who made the punch press this time, as well as those responsible for peripheral affairs.

Of course, the front row should be reserved for leaders and meritorious personnel.

Yang Xiaotao was originally leaning against Yang Youning, and Chen Gong was on the left. This was also Liu Ruichao's arrangement. This order was arranged entirely taking into account the relationship between the four directors of the steel rolling mill.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Xia directly called his name. Yang Xiaotao was still hesitating, but Yang Youning pushed him over.

Then, next to Mr. Xia in the C position, the original Yang Youning became Yang Xiaotao.

"Attention, look here!"

"Come!"

The publicity director took matters into his own hands, click!

Photo freeze.

Everyone celebrated each other again.

Afterwards, Mr. Xia said goodbye to everyone in the steel rolling mill. He wanted to go back and report the good news in a hurry. Director Liu who came with him also wanted to go back and tell the newspaper about the matter. Such an important matter must be reported as soon as possible.

Before leaving, he also took the film away.

After Mr. Xia and others left, Zhou Hong and others also prepared to leave.

As for what Yang Xiaotao told him, he wanted to go back and discuss it with the factory, but based on his understanding of the factory director, there was a high probability that he would have to be sent.

He doesn't mind this. The working environment of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is really good, especially the emphasis on technological innovation, which is unmatched by the original factory.

More importantly, following a capable 'engineer' like Yang Xiaotao, it makes more sense for him as a machine tool master.

Instead of staying in the factory, playing with three or two ordinary machine tools all day long, repairing and repairing the past, which consumes not much time.

He wanted to make his final contribution to the country while his body was still of some use.
