Chapter 218 Li Dongshan’s Ambition
Zhang Ruifeng laughed and said, "I know what you're talking about. Some people even joked with me, saying that I'm a worker now, and Binbin works, so why am I still making Mumu work so hard? I think they were just joking. I didn't hear any malice. A few people might be a little sarcastic, but it's no big deal."
Xie Yun looked at her and found that her whole body was filled with a calmness supported by confidence. Her mother was getting younger and younger. She was a little fatter and whiter than when she first came. She was well-dressed and had an upright posture.
She is only 44 years old, actually still in the prime of life!
Yan Guixiang also smiled and said, "That's right, that's what I heard too. The vast majority of people in our team are good. Some have some minor flaws, but they are not a matter of principle."
"So," Yan Guixiang said to Xie Yun, "If Mumu doesn't go to the fields to work, no one will say anything to him. Everyone will just think that your Xie family has finally become like ordinary people and no longer works so hard. They will probably breathe a sigh of relief. Mumu usually puts a lot of pressure on them.
The key is that Mumu is still young, only 15. If he were a few years older, people might also point fingers at him. After all, when he is older, he should be thinking about starting a family and building a career, but that is not the case now.
Xie Yun thought that this incident fully illustrates a point: it is human nature to be lazy and hate work, and to seek enjoyment. Working hard and striving hard are helpless choices under the pressure of survival. When the Xie family's life became better and there was no pressure to survive, Xie Shen still worked hard every day, which became a behavior that people could not understand.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some people are born with high scores, but such people should be a minority.
Xie Yun said, "Let's wait and see. If no one says anything, I won't bother doing anything more."
She's been quite busy lately. The research and development of automobile engines has entered its final stages.
Shortly after the Lunar New Year, Li Dongshan obtained a Volga automobile engine for them to use in their research. He even came over in person to deliver the engine.
Li Dongshan is an ambitious guy. He is not satisfied with just producing tractors. He wants to develop in multiple areas and is also interested in heavy-duty trucks and cars.
Xie Yun asked him, "Do you think it's possible? What can you possibly do?"
Li Dongshan said: "How can it be impossible? You can research materials science and engines, and also research pesticides and fertilizers. Why can't I also produce tractors, cars, and trucks?"
"Completely different, right? We do all this at low or even no cost. We report the results to our superiors, it doesn't take up any resources, and it's a huge benefit to the country. What about yours?"
Li Dongshan smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. At worst, I can apply to build another factory in Rencheng. I tell you, as long as you develop the technology, I'll take care of the rest. I'm not good at research, but I'm good at resources, money, and people."
Xie Yun: “…”
Li Dongshan also said to Xie Yun, "Xiao Xie, don't look down on others through the cracks in the door. My mind used to be constrained, but since I've been dealing with you, hey, my mind has grown.
Look at you, based in Liushutun Brigade, yet you dare to ask for things and people from all over the country. You dare to go to the Ministry of Metallurgy and the Provincial Party Committee. The fertilizer and pesticide plants in the province are all your sister units, and our tractor factory is your vanguard. Your fearless spirit is worth learning from. Just go ahead and do it! What am I afraid of?
What else could Xie Yun say? She could only give him a thumbs up. She also needed talents like Li Dongshan. Helping realize the transformation of scientific and technological achievements was indispensable.
To be honest, Li Dongshan did help a lot.
Xie Yun took the opportunity to make a request: "Do you have any obsolete machine tools? Please bring one over to us so we can study it."
Li Dongshan: "...I'll think of a way."
He glanced at Xie Yun and said, "I still have a lot to learn from you."
For example, he is still far behind in terms of the ability to climb up the pole and the thickness of the skin!
Xie Yun pretended not to understand and threw out another bait: "Our research is not about making small changes. Making some improvements on the old basis is only the most basic. We are definitely not satisfied with this. We are now studying automobile engine electronic control systems and CNC machine tools. This is the development trend.
Excellent researchers are truly crucial, like Professor Pan and his colleagues. They can accurately grasp the overall direction of the world's development. I admire them so much, and Professor Pan's computing power is amazing!
Li Dongshan rubbed his hands and said, "I'll get you a machine tool."
Just over a month later, in April, Li Dongshan came again and delivered a cylinder block plane broaching machine.
Xie Yun was stunned at the time! This was not an obsolete machine tool at all, but the latest machine tool produced by the First Machine Tool Factory of Dong Province. The design had just been completed two years ago and it was currently at the national leading level.
It seems that Li Dongshan really wants to produce trucks and cars. This machine tool is specially equipped for automobile factories.
Xie Yun said, "Director Li, thank you for your trust in us. Don't worry, we will definitely achieve technological progress."
Pan Changqing also shook Li Dongshan's hand emotionally and expressed his gratitude again and again, "I know it's not easy for you to get this machine tool. We will not let you down. Even if we have to work day and night, we will make a difference."
He is confident of achieving a technological breakthrough.
Back then, when we were penniless, we were able to develop CNC milling machines, only six years behind the world's best.
The first CNC milling machine was developed under the leadership of National Tsinghua University.
The research began in 1958. At that time, Pan Changqing and Zhao Yingjie had left the school, but Zheng Shuhua was still there, and she was very clear about the research process.
Research on CNC milling machines was jointly conducted by the Department of Precision Instrumentation, the Department of Automatic Control, and the Department of Electrical Engineering, responsible for the machine's hydraulic system, digital control, and stepper motor and drive, respectively. Jingcheng Machine Tool Works, as an external collaborator, was responsible for providing the milling machines and maintaining them.
This work was led by the Precision Instrument Department. The initial requirement was to complete it within half a year, but it actually took a few months longer and almost a year.
The participants had no knowledge of CNC machine tools and no relevant technical documentation. What could they rely on? An advertisement for a CNC machine tool, brought back from Big Brother, featured a photo of the machine tool. Next to it was a cabinet, slightly shorter than an adult, housing the CNC system. The advertisement also listed several performance indicators, but did not provide a block diagram of the CNC system.
That's all the information.
They had to rely on themselves to complete the task. Based on the characteristics of the machine tool, the processing requirements, and the speed of the paper tape input machine, they determined the technical indicators and structural block diagram of the CNC machine.
After the basic plan is determined, all pre-production work such as logic design, unit circuit design, power supply design, and production drawing design will be completed.
This group of researchers spent a year developing a CNC milling machine from scratch, which inspired a generation of machine tool workers to scale the pinnacle of technology and ushered in a new era of machine tool production and research in my country.
Later, many machine tool factories broke through the technical bottleneck.
If we can keep doing this, we shouldn't lag too far behind the world's leading level.
Unfortunately, due to various reasons, the independent research was delayed for several years and almost came to a standstill.
But it doesn't matter, it's not too late, there's still a chance. We still have the passion for research and development, and the passion for technological innovation.
Moreover, others have been able to achieve results from nothing. They have already stood on their shoulders, so how can they not achieve the same?
