"You three, ride your bikes carefully on the road."
At the entrance of the research institute, Sun Zhengguo, sitting in the car, gave Chen Lianshan and the other two instructions once again.
"Thank you for your concern, Director. We will be careful. See you tomorrow."
"Director, please take your time. See you tomorrow."
"Goodbye, Director."
...
Only after watching the three figures disappear into the distance did Sun Zhengguo wave, signaling his cousin to drive home…
The assembly work continued on the second day, and there were some problems, big and small, but with Sun Zhengguo present, all problems were easily solved.
When it was time to get off work in the evening, the workers worked overtime again.
As expected yesterday, the assembly of the rolling mill is basically complete, and all that remains is debugging and testing.
When Director Gao saw the machine take shape, he felt both happy and apprehensive.
"Director Sun, is that all?"
"What else can we do? Let's call it a day and leave work. We'll do the final adjustments tomorrow."
Seeing how simple Sun Zhengguo's explanation was, Director Gao had no choice but to pray.
The third day arrived quickly. The electricians arrived and began connecting the lines, while the technicians conducted the final checks.
"Director Sun, the line has been successfully connected and everything is normal."
"Chief, the rolling mill has been inspected and everything is normal."
As Zhao Guoping and Chen Lianshan reported in succession, Sun Zhengguo also took it seriously, and his expression became quite solemn.
"Director Gao, could you please arrange for skilled workers to come in so we can test the machine first?"
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Factory Director Gao was like a little follower, eagerly running around to call for people, without the slightest complaint.
Soon, several skilled workers arrived, and the technician spoke with them again, informing them of some precautions…
At 9:30 a.m., with everything ready, Sun Zhengguo issued the order to begin trial operation.
"I hereby declare the machine operational."
With a command given, the worker pressed the button without hesitation, and the first step was to start the heating furnace.
Because the heating furnace equipment has not changed much, it operates without any problems.
The next step is the start of the rolling mill, which is the most crucial step. It can be said that the soul of the entire machine is concentrated here.
Whether this rolling mill can be successfully developed depends on whether this step can be put into operation.
Director Gao dared not look at it now, his palms were sweating with nervousness.
But as the factory's top leader, he had to remain calm and not show any weakness, otherwise how would the workers view him?
"Buzz buzz buzz~!"
As the rolling mill started, the machine began to run slowly, gradually increasing in speed...
Just then, a creaking sound came from inside. The worker reacted quickly and pressed the stop button.
The atmosphere froze, and no one dared to utter a sound.
Director Gao felt like the sky had fallen, and sure enough, the worst outcome occurred.
Sun Zhengguo, however, remained calm and composed, continuing to give instructions.
"Chen Lianshan, Zhao Guoping, you two quickly check what's wrong with it?"
"yes."
Upon receiving the instructions, the two quickly stepped forward and began troubleshooting the problem.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Lianshan came over and began to report the cause of the malfunction.
"Chief, the cause has been found. One set of pulleys broke due to improper clearance adjustment. It has been replaced and readjusted."
"Hmm! No rush, we must check carefully to avoid such basic mistakes."
"Understood, Director." Chen Lianshan said somewhat embarrassedly.
Because the pulley part was his area of responsibility, and it was indeed a basic mistake.
...
This minor incident did not affect Sun Zhengguo's mood in the slightest; the replacement process continued...
After a short while, the belt was replaced, and Sun Zhengguo signaled to turn the machine on again.
This time the machine performed admirably without any problems. After running for ten minutes, Sun Zhengguo decisively ordered the activation of the conveyor system, followed by the cooling system…
Seeing that all the machines were running smoothly and there were no further problems, Director Gao finally felt relieved and led the applause.
"Clap clap clap...!"
After a round of applause, Director Gao, beaming, stepped forward and asked.
"Director Sun, is this considered a success?"
"Director Gao, it's not that easy. Being able to start the machine means we're halfway there. We still need to compare production data; otherwise, how can we prove whether it's successful or not?"
"Yes, yes, I was too impatient. What's the next step?" Gao Changchang asked again.
"It's very simple. Report to the leader, see what the leader says, and then we'll arrange the next step."
"Yes, yes! I'll go right now." With that, Director Gao quickly walked out to report to his superiors.
Sun Zhengguo had no time to worry about any of that; he was still focused on the machine's operation, ensuring the entire process went perfectly.
It's unclear how much time had passed, but Director Gao returned to the workshop.
"Director Sun, I have already reported to the department leaders, and they said they will come to inspect tomorrow. So what are our next steps?"
"Same as always. We have plenty of time now, so let's get the machine working properly today and try to make a big splash tomorrow."
"Alright, then I'll trouble Director Sun to take care of it."
...
The machine was still running, and another hour passed in the blink of an eye. Seeing that it was running well, Sun Zhengguo ordered it to be shut down.
"Zhao Guoping and Chen Lianshan, quickly check the wear and tear on the important parts of the machine, as well as the connection of other parts."
"Yes, Director."
...
They worked on this until almost noon, and after various checks, no major problems were found with the machine.
Minor problems can be handled by Zhao Guoping.
After finishing with the machine matters, Director Gao invited Sun Zhengguo and his group into the small canteen.
The lunch was exceptionally plentiful, and the chef's skills were superb; the group was very satisfied with their meal.
After finishing his meal, with nothing else to do, Sun Zhengguo prepared to return to the research institute.
"Guoping, please take this afternoon to check and maintain the rolling mill. We'll head back to the research institute now and come back tomorrow morning."
"Don't worry, Chief, leave everything to me."
"Um!"
...
Then, Sun Zhengguo greeted Director Gao before returning to the research institute with Chen Lianshan and the technician.
Sun Zhengguo, who hadn't been back to the institute for two days, immediately started processing documents upon his return, and then went to the lab to start paying off his debts.
Chen Wanchun, seeing that Sun Zhengguo had finally come all this way, naturally wouldn't be polite.
He handed over all the problems that had accumulated over a long period of time to Sun Zhengguo.
He also euphemistically called it "the capable should do more work," which made Sun Zhengguo so angry that he couldn't help but complain.
"Old Chen, I only realized today that you have the potential to be a shrewd businessman. This is the result of exploiting the working people."
But Chen Wanchun didn't care at all. Whatever you say, the debt should always be repaid!
