Once people's hearts turn to the factory, the momentum is unstoppable. The success of the "model machine" in Workshop Two spread like wildfire to every corner of the Red Star Factory. Before, Liu Li and the technical staff chased after the workshops; now, the roles were completely reversed.

The once quiet office in the technical department is now practically worn down by footsteps. Workshop directors, technicians, and even team leaders are taking turns visiting. Some bring equipment lists, others bring defective parts, all with one purpose—to queue up and apply for technical upgrades.

"Deputy Section Chief Liu, you can't be biased! Those old vertical drilling machines in our workshop are vibrating so much they're about to fall apart!"

"Those production lines in Workshop 3 have to replace bearings incredibly frequently, the cost is too high! They're counting on your skills to save the day!"

"Our maintenance team is all ready; we're just waiting for your equipment and guidance!"

Faced with this sudden enthusiasm and huge demand, Liu Li was both happy and troubled. She was happy that her technology had been widely recognized, but troubled by manpower, materials, and scheduling, which put her under immense pressure.

She and her colleagues in the technical department held a meeting overnight to review the status of all equipment in the plant and prioritize them. Equipment with the most serious vibration problems and the greatest impact on production was placed at the top; equipment with low modification difficulty and quick results was selected as the first to be promoted. Referring to the project team's experience, she developed a detailed "promotion roadmap" and timetable.

The renovation work was fully underway. The technical department was clearly short-handed. Liu Li made a decisive decision to select young technical workers with certain skills from various workshops, along with the backbone of the maintenance team, to form several temporary installation teams. The technical department staff would lead these teams separately to provide mentorship and training.

The workshop suddenly became lively. Over here, Xiao Zhao was leading a group of workers installing sensor bases on a radial drilling machine, carefully explaining the key positioning points; over there, Xiao Li was guiding a second group of workers on wiring, repeatedly emphasizing the crucial aspects of shielding and grounding. Liu Li herself was like a firefighter, appearing wherever a group encountered a problem.

"Mr. Liu, this mounting surface is uneven. Even with the copper padding, it's still a bit wobbly!"

"The space here is too narrow; a standard bracket won't fit. We'll have to modify one on-site!"

"The signal interference is still quite strong; the oscilloscope waveform keeps jumping around!"

Problems kept arising, but with the experience from the "sample machine" and the well-worn training manual as guidance, everyone felt more confident and resolved them much faster. The experienced technicians were no longer bystanders; their rich on-site experience played a huge role, often offering practical, down-to-earth solutions not found in the manual to overcome real difficulties during installation.

One by one, the modified equipment was put back into operation. The noise level in the workshop had decreased significantly, and the previously annoying vibrations and abnormal noises were much less frequent. Reports showing that processing accuracy had generally improved and the scrap rate had decreased significantly began to appear on the desks of the workshop directors and factory leaders.

Data from the energy department report also shows a slight but continuous decrease in overall plant power consumption. The maintenance team reports a significant reduction in reports of sudden malfunctions caused by vibration.

A quiet, factory-wide equipment and technology upgrade, sparked by a small invention, is steadily progressing amidst this busy yet orderly rhythm. The overall manufacturing capacity of Hongxing Factory is quietly taking a small but solid step forward through these seemingly minor changes. Standing in the center of the workshop, listening to the now smooth and pleasant hum of the machines around her, Liu Li felt a surge of satisfaction. She knew that what she brought back to the factory was not just a technology, but a seed capable of nurturing change, and this fertile ground had not disappointed her.
