The next morning, the newly modified machine tool was still in use, and the factory was preparing to test it to see what the difference was between it and the old one.
Sun Zhengguo ignored the test and continued modifying the next machine tool, acting as if he were an outsider.
Around noon, the test results for the new machine tool were in. Compared to before, the output increased by 30% and the yield rate increased by 35%, which amazed the cadres present.
Some people may ask, why are machine tools being modified so quickly, while rolling mills are so slow?
There are several reasons for this.
First, Sun Zhengguo's previous life involved spending his entire life working with machine tools, making him extremely familiar with them; this could be considered his strength.
Secondly, compared to machine tools, rolling mills are much more complex, and by a significant margin.
Third, rather than modifying the machine tool, it's more accurate to say that Sun Zhengguo directly brought out the knowledge in his mind. This data has been verified and therefore cannot be wrong.
In conclusion, this is why the transformation was carried out so quickly this time.
During the afternoon working hours, Factory Director Li couldn't wait to ring the phone with Deputy Minister Li.
"Hello! Vice Minister Li, this is Li Zheng. I have something to report to you."
"Oh! It's Li Zheng. What's the matter?"
“Vice Minister Li, the engineer Sun sent by the ministry is truly amazing. He completed the modification of a machine tool in just one day, and the efficiency and yield rate have both increased by more than 30%.”
"What? Li Zheng, you're not joking, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Hearing Vice Minister Li's questioning voice, Factory Director Li was not surprised at all. He had been in the same boat back then, but the facts speak for themselves and cannot be denied.
“Vice Minister Li, I guarantee with my Party spirit that what I just said is absolutely true.”
"Okay! I'll go over and take a look this afternoon. Don't bother with any welcoming ceremony, so as not to disturb their renovation work."
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Director Li was still excited, but thinking that the leaders were coming, he still needed to make some small preparations, at most not to disturb Sun Zhengguo and others.
An hour later, Sun Zhengguo was still working, explaining the technology to the technicians next to him so that they could master it as soon as possible.
What Sun Zhengguo didn't know was that Vice Minister Li and a group of cadres had already come to their side, but everyone was so focused on studying that no one noticed.
Why does this gear need to be replaced? Does anyone know?
Faced with Sun Zhengguo's question, no one could answer.
"Mr. Sun, please explain! We don't think we learned about these things in our textbooks before?"
One of the technicians asked.
Since Sun Zhengguo became a Level 9 engineer, people prefer to call him Engineer Sun rather than Section Chief Sun, which is a recognition of his abilities by the technical staff.
"That's simple. This gear affects the operation of the entire machine. If you calculate the parameters, you'll understand. If the diameter of this gear were 2cm smaller, it would be even more perfect."
"Mr. Sun, I still don't understand. If this can only be reduced by 2cm, what if the other gears can't mesh?"
"Of course, we'll add a little more gear at the back. Take another look at the improved blueprints. Do you see if the industrial parameters are optimal? If not, why would we need to modify the machine?"
The group of technicians probably didn't understand what Sun Zhengguo was saying.
However, none of that matters. What matters is that Sun Zhengguo wants to use this as a means to instill some theories in them, so that they don't have to read from the book no matter what they are talking about.
Just like a great man once said, "It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat."
"Okay! Clap clap clap!"
"Clap clap clap..."
As Vice Minister Li cheered and applauded, everyone joined in with enthusiastic applause.
When the applause stopped, Sun Zhengguo also stopped what he was doing.
"Vice Minister Li, you're coming to inspect, why didn't you tell me? I could have come to greet you in advance!"
"Haha! Comrade Zhengguo, you are now a treasure to our Ministry of Machinery. I wouldn't dare disturb your work."
"Hahaha……!
Vice Minister Li's joke drew laughter from the audience.
"How's it going? Is the machine modification progressing smoothly?" Vice Minister Li then asked.
"This machine is basically finished. If it weren't for the need to explain it to them, it would be fine to just install these few gears."
After hearing Sun Zhengguo's words, Vice Minister Li also became interested.
"Oh! Really? Okay, you can install it now, we'll wait here. I also want to observe on-site today and see what surprises you, Sun Zhengguo, have in store for us?"
The officials present were incredibly envious; Sun Zhengguo was truly lucky, even a ministerial-level official was willing to wait for him.
Sun Zhengguo did not disappoint Vice Minister Li. He personally took charge and quickly completed the final installation. His skillful movements left everyone on site stunned.
It's important to understand that not all engineers have hands-on skills; people like Sun Zhengguo are quite rare.
After installing the machine, Sun Zhengguo immediately started it up. The machine performed admirably, starting up perfectly without any malfunctions.
"Director Li, call for help!" Sun Zhengguo said without even turning around.
"No need, Section Chief Sun, the person has already arrived."
Sun Zhengguo then turned around and saw that it was the same level 6 worker from last time.
"I'm sorry to trouble you again, sir."
"No trouble at all, it's my honor to be among the first to use the machine tools modified by Engineer Sun."
The worker said proudly.
After he finished speaking, he began to operate the machine. This newly modified machine was just as smooth and efficient as it had been yesterday, giving him a sense of divine assistance.
"Comrade Zhengguo, is there any difference between this machine and yesterday's?"
Seeing the workers processing parts, Vice Minister Li, not understanding the process, asked Sun Zhengguo for clarification.
“Vice Minister Li, there is not much difference between these two machines. The only difference is that the processing diameter of this machine has increased today, and the processing range has also increased. It's like how it used to be able to process an egg, but now it can process an apple.”
Sun Zhengguo's explanation was simple and easy to understand, and Vice Minister Li nodded in agreement.
"There's still one universal milling machine that hasn't been modified. What are its functions?" Vice Minister Li then asked.
"The universal milling machine is mainly characterized by the word 'universal.' In fact, it is an extension of a regular machine tool, with many more functions. It can perform one-click processing, saving a lot of manpower and resources. However, it is also quite complex."
As the two exchanged questions and answers, the worker finished the part, and after measurement, it fully met the standards.
"Distinguished leaders, the new machine is performing well, no worse than yesterday's, and the parts are machined perfectly."
"Clap clap clap...!"
Upon hearing the report, a round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.
"Great! Comrade Sun Zhengguo, congratulations! I will recommend you for commendation after you complete this mission."
"Thank you, Vice Minister Li."
After inspecting the machine, Vice Minister Li offered a few words of encouragement before hurriedly leaving, though he returned in a very pleasant mood.
On the way back, Vice Minister Li was still considering whether to give Sun Zhengguo more responsibilities.
After all, Sun Zhengguo has already proven his abilities. If this man is used properly, he would be a treasure for the country.
