With fame comes trouble.

Liu Li dreads the ringing of the phone now. Nine times out of ten, it's another call from a neighboring unit seeking advice. She's probably explained the same questions—how many turns of the sensor coil should be wound, what wire diameter to use—at least twenty times this month. After saying so much, her throat is dry and itchy.

Zhou Wei and Sun Mei weren't having an easy time either. Zhou Wei spent almost an hour on the phone debating his fuzzy control theory with a persistent senior engineer, but the engineer still only had a vague understanding. As for Sun Mei, she had already used up several notebooks of drawing paper just drawing simplified sensor circuit diagrams for different organizations.

In the lab, the test benches that were supposed to be used for the next stage of optimization experiments had to be stopped frequently due to the constant need to receive guests and give presentations. Looking at the stagnant experimental data in her notebook, Liu Li felt a sense of frustration for the first time over the "fame" her technology had achieved.

“This can’t go on,” she said to Zhou Wei and Sun Mei, rubbing her throbbing temples. “The three of us are practically becoming full-time switchboard operators and draftsmen. Are we even going to do our own jobs?”

Zhou Wei sighed and pushed aside a control logic diagram he had just finished drawing: "That's right. The problems are all similar, but everyone has to start from scratch, so we have to start from the beginning as well. It's too inefficient and easy to make mistakes."

Sun Mei waved the thick stack of letters and records in her hand: "Moreover, relying solely on words and drawings, many practical tips and tricks, such as the tightness of the wire when winding and which components are prone to problems during circuit debugging, simply cannot be conveyed. Even if someone takes them back and tries to do it, they may still not be able to do it successfully."

The happy dilemma has turned into a real problem. The value of technology lies in its application, but how to efficiently and accurately disseminate it has become a new challenge for them. The piecemeal, question-and-answer approach is clearly no longer sufficient and has seriously hampered their own research progress.

"We need to come up with a solution that will last... or at least a more efficient one." Liu Li stared at the pile of letters from all over the country on the table, her fingers tapping unconsciously on the surface. "We can't always be firefighters, rushing to wherever a fire breaks out."

She recalled that when she was in the QC group at the Hongxing factory, Master Wang would write down some common operating procedures and troubleshooting methods into simple "work instructions" and post them next to the machine tools, so that newcomers could understand them at a glance.

"Could we... also make a 'work instruction manual'?" Liu Li's eyes lit up. "Let's systematically write down and draw all the key steps, parameters, precautions, and common pitfalls of our technology, from its principles to design, manufacturing, and debugging? Make it into a... um... 'Technology Promotion and Training Manual'?"

"Manual?" Zhou Wei and Sun Mei both looked up.

“Yes! A manual!” Liu Li became more and more convinced of its feasibility. “It will solidify common problems and standard practices. In the future, if anyone asks a question or wants to learn, they can just give them a manual to look at first. The basics are all there, and if there are any unique problems that the manual can't solve, we can focus our efforts on helping them. This way, we can ensure the accuracy of technology transfer and also free up our time!”

This idea was immediately approved by Zhou Wei and Sun Mei. Faced with an overwhelming demand for knowledge, compiling a systematic, detailed, and easy-to-understand training manual seemed to be the best way to break through the current predicament and truly allow the technology to reach a wider audience.
