Chapter 109 Abandoned Machine
Ye Mu and Mr. Xu followed He Jianqi to the military factory. Seeing that they were people from the military region’s research institute, the guard at the gate let them in after registering them.
He just looked at Ye Mu a few more times out of curiosity.
How could such a beautiful girl come to the military factory with Dean He and a researcher?
After the three of them walked away, he curiously looked at the information they wrote on the registration form.
That girl who looks only fifteen or sixteen is eighteen years old this year?
The key point is, she is actually a researcher at the institute?
I've never seen someone so young!
He Jianqi obviously came to this factory frequently. He took Ye Mu and Mr. Xu directly to the factory director's office.
When he arrived at the office door, he didn't even knock, but walked in with a swagger, and greeted cheerfully:
"Old Zhong, here I come again!"
The old Zhong he mentioned was the factory director Zhong Guorong. Upon hearing He Jianqi's voice, Zhong Guorong quickly stood up and said:
"President He, you are here again? Are you here to urge us to finish the work? In order to cooperate with your research institute's research and development, we have specially selected two masters to make the guns on the drawings you sent us!"
He was very surprised because the research institute suddenly sent a lot of gun modifications and new sniper rifle designs a few days ago, and asked their factory to cooperate with the research institute to produce a batch of test guns first.
Although test guns do not need to be mass-produced, there are more than just one or two modification drawings. Almost all current guns have been modified. As to whether the modification is good or not, we will only know after testing.
He almost suspected that the staff of the research institute had made some random changes.
However, when the drawings were given to the veterans in the workshop, they all thought that the changes were good. These people made guns themselves and were quite knowledgeable about firearms.
The guns according to the improved drawings are already being manufactured and tested, that is, performance testing will be carried out after a dozen or so are produced.
This is relatively simple. It's the newly designed sniper rifle, which has high requirements. Some parts cannot even be produced in their factory the same as on the drawings. They need to produce similar parts and then manually manufacture them to meet the requirements on the drawings.
After listening to the feedback from some veterans in the factory, Zhong Guorong began to wonder whether these new sniper rifle drawings were advanced drawings brought back by their comrades in the military region in a special way.
Otherwise, how could there be parts that cannot be made by machines?
Considering that these new sniper rifles will definitely be mass-produced, Zhong Guorong has already arranged for mechanical masters to discuss how to modify some machines to meet manufacturing requirements.
"I'm definitely not here to rush you. I know you guys have always cooperated with our research institute, so why would I rush you?"
"Today I brought two of our researchers to help you improve your bullet production line!"
When Zhong Guorong heard this, he was immediately delighted and said, "There is such a good thing?!"
"I remember that no one in your institute knew how to invent and modify this machine? How come there is one again today!"
Zhong Guorong was very happy. To be honest, the mechanical masters in the factory had told him many times that the machines needed to be replaced with more advanced ones, otherwise they would not be able to keep up with the manufacturing.
But where do more advanced machines come from?
This is not the old city, how can they immediately equip themselves with more advanced machines?
National things must be given priority to important provinces, there is no other way around it.
Their F Province is almost at the border of the country, and for the time being they will not be able to get those advanced machines.
All they can make are some common and conventional weapons across the country, and they certainly can't make more advanced ones.
Especially this time's drawings almost exceeded the limits of the machines in the factory.
"Now that Mr. Xu is here, what can we do?" He Jianqi had already found out everything when he knew that Mr. Xu was coming to Province F.
In these areas, Mr. Xu is naturally an expert!
"Besides, we have a little genius here!"
He said as he looked at Ye Mu, and then said under Zhong Guorong's strange gaze,
"The military factory has a high level of confidentiality, and you are also a tight-lipped person, so I am not afraid to tell you! The drawings of the improved guns and sniper rifles that I sent to you last time were all the masterpieces of Comrade Ye Mu in front of you!"
"Isn't that an advanced design from abroad?!"
Zhong Guorong was shocked. He originally thought that Ye Mu might be smarter, so he followed this student of Mr. Xu.
Now that I hear it, isn't this the same as the Master?
There are design drawings and improved guns.
But when she thought about the drawings she designed, and found that there were parts that couldn't be made in the factory, she suddenly felt distressed. Could this be a failed design?
Still have to make it and see.
"This young comrade is so amazing. I was wrong." Zhong Guorong said, and then asked, "So the people you mentioned today who came to improve our production line machines are Mr. Xu and this young master?"
"Yes, this time there is more than one thing. We discussed it on the way. The main reason for improving the factory machinery is to test the new material production technology that the research institute has just developed. At present, it is determined that the performance of the new material will be much better than the previous one. However, before the final conclusion is made, we still cannot improve all of it. We can only improve part of it."
Zhong Guorong knew it was not as simple as he said, and he had already made a calculation in his mind. He said:
"That's fine. Our factory has an old production line that has been abandoned because the machines are too outdated. The abandoned machines are still in the factory. Can we use the machines on this abandoned production line for transformation? If it works, it's still a good thing to make use of waste!"
He Jianqi looked at Mr. Xu and Ye Mu.
Ye Mu agreed with this arrangement and said, "I think it's okay. It won't damage the current production equipment in the factory, and it will also allow me and the teacher to have more freedom."
Mr. Xu naturally agreed. They were doing research, and of course they couldn't force through potentially damaging technology before reaching accurate conclusions!
It would be most appropriate to use obsolete machines, improve them, manufacture new materials, and create firearms!
Seeing that the two of them were so reasonable, Zhong Guorong immediately took people to find two mechanics, introduced themselves to each other, and then went to see the batch of obsolete machines.
These two mechanical masters were of high status in the factory. One was named Miao Changguang and the other Fang Yumin, both of them looked to be in their forties. When they heard that Ye Mu was a researcher at the research institute and wanted to look at the machines and make improvements with Mr. Xu, they both felt a little strange.
But no one said much. The comrades in the institute still admired him. If he was not smart enough, had not learned much and did not understand much, he would not be able to enter the institute.
However, they have learned a lot and have a good understanding of the machines. Sometimes, before the research institute has figured out how to improve the machines, these experienced masters already have a direction and have begun to make improvements.
However, such times are rare, otherwise all mechanical masters would just become researchers. With their intelligence and ability, it would definitely be more creative to research and invent instead of just staying to do this.
