The three of them first went to Factory 21. The mechanical part of a machining center had been assembled. Zeng Guanghua was leading a group of leaders to watch. The blue and white paint combination looked very fresh. The equipment was not large in size, but the processing range was very large.
"What's the point? No matter how good it is, it's still a paralyzed state. In my opinion, we should keep our feet on the ground and work hard. First, we should thoroughly understand the manual machine tools, and then develop this kind of automated equipment. As far as I know, the United States and Russia haven't reached this stage yet. We still want to surpass them. It's simply wishful thinking."
A discordant voice was heard. Ji Xia came in just in time and heard it. She took a look at the man. He was very young, with a side-parted hairstyle, wearing a white shirt, black pants, and a pair of small leather shoes. He looked like a decent human being.
Liang Zihua, fearing chaos in the world, reminded Ji Xia, "This is one of the R&D personnel Qin Xiao and his team brought back from the United States last year. His name is Qiu Junfeng."
Fortunately, Ji Xia didn't need to personally intervene in the argument. Someone immediately couldn't stand it any longer. "Mr. Qiu, that's not what I meant. We have this idea now and have already manufactured most of the product. If we can persevere, at least in the machine tool industry, we won't be left behind."
Qiu Junfeng disagreed. "I don't know which layman came up with this idea. I only know that even the United States doesn't have this level of design and manufacturing yet. Do you think we can surpass the United States with our limited capabilities?"
After all, Qiu Junfeng graduated from the best research institute in the United States, and he is indeed an expert in CNC, at least the best in the country at present. He said that the United States does not have this level, and no one can refute it.
Ji Xia walked over and asked, "If the United States can't do it, can't we do it too?"
Her tone was full of sarcasm, and everyone could hear it. Of course, Qiu Junfeng's face looked unhappy.
"Who are you?" Seeing how young Ji Xia was, Qiu Junfeng didn't intend to give her the slightest bit of respect, thinking she was here to cause trouble. "Is this a place where you can talk? How can any random person come in? Do you have any idea of workshop management?"
Zeng Guanghua felt like he had seen his second parent when he saw Ji Xia. He was afraid that Qiu Junfeng, the arrogant and patriotic scholar, would offend Ji Xia.
In this era, there are indeed many patriotic scholars who resolutely return to China. Many of them volunteer to return to the motherland to build the motherland, but there are also many who return with other purposes, and many even return to cause destruction.
Ji Xia didn't know Qiu Junfeng's stance. Was he doing this for the good of China, or was he here to cause trouble? She didn't bother to care and asked, "Who am I? This equipment was designed and built under my leadership. What? Do you have any objections?"
"Nonsense, this is sheer nonsense!" Qiu Junfeng pointed at Ji Xia's nose and cursed, "Do you know that you're harming the country and its people by doing this? You're dreaming of something that even the US can't make!"
Ji Xia was just about to say "get out", but no matter how much he said, it would be worse than taking action.
Ji Xia said, "Secretary Zeng, please ask everyone outside to leave. I'm going to install a brain in this device now."
Zeng Guanghua had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. He was not afraid of offending anyone. "Mr. Qiu, how about you and the other leaders go to my office for some tea?"
Since returning to China, Qiu Junfeng has been respected wherever he goes. He is at the 219th Institute. This time, he came to visit because he heard that the military region here had actually developed a processing center.
Unexpectedly, Factory 21 refused to accept any visitors for the sake of confidentiality.
He was already unhappy and thought that Factory 21 might be a scam. Under the coercion of Deputy Director Ding Ruida, Zeng Guanghua had to show people the semi-finished products they had researched and produced.
Because once they start mass-producing products, these processing centers will be exposed sooner or later.
This is also what Ji Xia meant.
Although no one said anything about the several finished products that Ji Xia had given them before, these leaders had unanimously assumed that Ji Xia had obtained them from abroad by some unknown means.
Of course it cannot be shown to outsiders.
I have to say that, in a sense, people like Leung Chi-wah and Tsang Kwong-wah have revealed the truth.
"Old Zeng, this is being rude. You know that our 219th Research Institute tends to focus on equipment research. Think about how much support we've given you in the past. It's not nice to chase you away like this today."
This time, the deputy director of the 219th Institute is leading the team, Ding Ruida said softly but with a hard tone.
Zeng Guanghua already had Ji Xia, so why would he need the 219th Research Institute? He led the way out and said, "Let's have some tea. I have some good tea. I've always wanted to invite Director Ding to taste it. Today is a rare opportunity."
Zeng Guanghua signaled to Chen Zenggang to coax Ji Xia well and not to offend the real Bodhisattva.
Chen Zenggang wanted to kneel down and worship him. When most of the people on the field had left, Ji Xia took out a stack of chips from her omnipotent canvas bag.
When Liang Zihua saw the chip for the first time, he felt that this thing was extraordinary. He winked at Qin Xiao and asked him to ask.
Qin Xiao was speechless. He touched his nose and had to move closer to Ji Xia. "Wife, what is this?"
"Chip!" Ji Xia said without even looking up. She called her father, Cao Guozhong, and the others over and explained chips to them. "This is a chip, also known as a microcircuit. It's a way to miniaturize circuits. The advantage is that it saves space and increases stability."
Ji Xia had the men change into clean gloves and then showed them a chip. "The benefit of researching integrated circuits is that it reduces costs and increases power. For example, if we develop an integrated circuit for controlling cooking, we can install it in all rice cookers. There are two control programs: cooking rice or porridge, each with a cooking time of 40 minutes. Using temperature sensing, once the internal temperature reaches a certain level, it switches to keep-warm mode. This integrated circuit is very simple..."
Before Ji Xia finished speaking, Liang Zihua couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Xia, if our electronics factory is put into use, can we produce this kind of rice cooker?"
"Sure!" Ji Xia said, "Once the electronics factory is operational, we can produce a lot of products to improve our production efficiency. Radios and the like won't be scarce anymore, and televisions and the like will soon become commonplace."
Not only Liang Zihua was excited, almost everyone present was excited, and they looked at Ji Xia with eyes full of hope.
She installed the chip in a designated space and connected it directly through the socket. It was quick and convenient, and it also allowed everyone to see that the chip was indeed easy to use.
Finally, a display screen was installed.
After the equipment was installed, Ji Xia asked Cao Guozhong to connect the power supply, and the display screen lit up. Ji Xia asked someone to bring a blank, and after Ren Yong skillfully programmed it, the equipment began automatic processing.
The operation was very stable and the noise was very low. Seeing the successful trial production of the machining center that they had assembled with great effort, almost everyone had tears in their eyes.
"Xiao Xia, can this machining center earn us foreign exchange?" Liang Zihua asked excitedly.
