The weighty technical report drafted by Liu Li was submitted directly by Team Leader Chen, causing quite a stir in the relevant departments of the Ministry of Light Industry, much like a boulder being thrown into a calm lake.
The report's clearly articulated technical approach, solid experimental data, and remarkable application results, especially its eye-catching economic benefit assessment, caught the attention of leaders and experts accustomed to various reports.
"Online dynamic balancing," "fuzzy control," "self-made sensors"... these terms, brimming with innovative courage and a pragmatic spirit, combined with concrete data on vibration suppression rates and economic benefits, paint a highly convincing picture. This is not only a technological breakthrough, but also a prime example of "solving big problems with small innovations and achieving high efficiency at low cost," perfectly aligning with the national spirit of "tapping potential, innovating, and transforming" at the time.
Not long after, a commendation order bearing the official red seal of the ministry was issued directly to the project team, with copies sent to the Hongxing Machinery Factory and the industrial bureau of the province and city where it was located.
The commendation order explicitly states, "...the 'Online Dynamic Balancing Device for Main Spindles' R&D team (main contributors: Liu Li, Zhou Wei, Sun Mei), based on national conditions, dared to innovate, overcame difficulties, and successfully solved the key technical bottlenecks in the development of new textile machinery, achieving significant economic benefits. Therefore, this commendation order is hereby issued...this technological achievement is awarded the first prize of 'Ministerial-level Outstanding Achievement in Technological Innovation'...and special funds are allocated for the further improvement and pilot promotion of this technology..."
When the news came, the entire project team was in an uproar!
Ministerial-level commendation! First prize! Special promotion funding!
This is almost one of the highest affirmations of technological achievements in a national-level project!
Inside the team's lab, cheers nearly lifted the roof off. Zhou Wei was flushed with excitement, and Sun Mei's eyes were moist. Even the usually composed Team Leader Chen wore a rare, relaxed smile.
"Liu Li! Zhou Wei! Sun Mei! Well done!" Colleagues rushed over to congratulate them, patting their shoulders vigorously.
This award belongs not only to the three of them, but also to the entire team that supported them and fought alongside them during the difficult times, and to Team Leader Chen who withstood the pressure and gave them trust and space.
What surprised and excited Liu Li even more was that along with the commendation order came a technical evaluation opinion from the Ministry's Science and Technology Department. The opinion highly praised their technical approach, deeming it "unique in its thinking, ingenious in its implementation, and possessing excellent prospects for widespread application," and explicitly stated that "online dynamic balancing technology" would be included in the Ministry's next list of key new technologies for promotion, with pilot applications to be conducted in relevant industries and enterprises at an opportune time!
This means that their achievements will no longer remain merely on paper and in the laboratory, but will soon be truly brought to the production line to solve more practical problems and create greater value.
Holding the weighty commendation certificate and evaluation report, Liu Li was overwhelmed with emotion. She recalled the doubts she encountered when she first proposed the idea, the embarrassment of her first failed experiment, and the countless nights she had worked late into the night... All the hardships and efforts had finally been rewarded in this moment.
This affirmation from the ministry and the subsequent promotion plan acted like a strong east wind, raising the sails of their career and propelling this technology, which embodies their hard work, towards a wider world.
