Chapter 323: Proud
The workshop of Huacheng Chemical Fiber Factory is like a huge steamer, hot and humid, and the roar of machines is deafening.
Jiang Haitang was wearing thick work clothes, and her back was already soaked with sweat, but she seemed unaware of it. Her entire mind was immersed in the huge imported equipment and complex drawings and materials.
Even though Jiang Haitang was working at high intensity, she would go to the guesthouse to see Xiao Chengzi whenever she had a break. Occasionally, Xiao He would also bring Xiao Chengzi outside to wait for Jiang Haitang.
While taking a break to drink water, Li Xinghai looked at Jiang Haitang holding the child and couldn't help but say to Zhang Jianguo beside him: "To be honest, I never thought that a female comrade could do such a professional job, and do it so well..."
"People who are better than us work harder than us. What else can we do except work harder?" Yun Zhihao happened to hear what he said and couldn't help but interrupt.
Zhang Jianguo agreed: "Yes, Engineer Jiang's foreign language proficiency and technical understanding are impeccable. We were a bit narrow-minded before."
Mr. Chen was also resting. Listening to their conversation, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
Sure enough, it was completely appropriate to bring Jiang Haitang along, and it also let these people know that there are always people better than you.
After a few days, Jiang Haitang completely won the respect of everyone with his solid professional ability, hard-working spirit and unparalleled foreign language advantage.
She is not the "lesbian with a child", but an indispensable core member of the technical exchange team.
After several days of preliminary preparation, they officially started the core work.
In the huge factory, brand new imported equipment is being installed and debugged, the machines are roaring, and the temperature is high.
Jiang Haitang's task was extremely heavy. She needed to follow the explanations of the factory's experts from Country D, and at the same time quickly read the densely packed German labels and thick instruction manuals on the equipment.
Mr. Hoffman, the expert from Country D, is a rigorous and even somewhat rigid old man who speaks very fast with a thick accent.
The translator assigned by the factory is a young girl who does not have a precise grasp of many professional terms.
This would cause everyone to immediately deviate from the key information. Jiang Haitang had to be highly focused in order to translate and explain the key information in real time to Engineers Li, Zhang, and Yun, who were not familiar with the language of Country D.
The high temperature and noise made people dizzy, but Jiang Haitang always maintained a high level of concentration.
Not only is her translation accurate, but she is also able to explain it in light of her own technical background.
Mr. Hoffman pointed to a parameter on the control panel and gestured excitedly.
The young translator was a little nervous and stammered, "He said... this number is wrong... it's not set like this..."
Jiang Haitang immediately stepped forward, glanced at the screen and the original German manual in his hand, and translated it for everyone with a smile.
"Mr. Hoffman means that the preheating temperature is based on a specific domestic raw material specification. We need to adjust it based on the melting point characteristics of the raw materials we actually use."
“This baseline value should be adjusted downward by three to five percent, otherwise it will cause excessive oxidation of the raw materials in the pre-melting stage, affecting the subsequent spinning quality.”
Not only did she translate accurately, she also directly explained the technical principles behind it and provided adjustment suggestions.
After listening to this, Mr. Hoffman nodded repeatedly, his tense expression relaxed, and he gave Jiang Haitang a thumbs up.
Li Xinghai, Zhang Jianguo and others immediately gathered around, compared the drawings and manuals, and combined with Jiang Haitang's explanation, they quickly understood the problem.
After understanding the problem clearly, Zhang Jianguo sighed, "I see! This subtle difference is not clearly stated in the manual. If it weren't for Engineer Jiang, we would have had to grope for a long time and might even have taken a detour!"
Li Xinghai didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of complexity when he looked at Jiang Haitang.
He prides himself on his technical prowess, but in situations like this where in-depth technical communication with external parties is required, he has to admit that Jiang Haitang's role is irreplaceable.
Her fluent D language and keen grasp of technical details are beyond the reach of all these grown men combined.
Similar situations continued to occur over the next few days.
Jiang Haitang is like a bridge, precisely connecting foreign experts, imported equipment, and Chinese technicians. She not only translates, but also understands, digests, and even anticipates key technical points.
Li Xinghai and others were completely convinced.
They found that without Jiang Haitang's precise and efficient translation and communication, their learning efficiency would be greatly reduced, and they might even misunderstand the key technical points.
During the break, Li Xinghai even offered Jiang Haitang a bottle of soda, feeling a little embarrassed. "Mr. Jiang, drink some water and take a break. Thank you so much for today!"
Jiang Haitang took it with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Li, we are a team, it's the right thing to do."
A few people were talking when they saw Xiao He coming hurriedly with a child in his arms.
Seeing Xiao He's expression, Jiang Haitang quickly stood up and asked, "Sister Vanilla, why are you here at this time?"
At this time, Xiaochengzi should be taking a lunch break.
Little Orange looked at his mother with his beautiful big eyes, not as lively as usual, but a little listless.
"Xiaochengzi seems to have diarrhea. Is it because of the unfamiliar climate?" Xiao He said worriedly.
Jiang Haitang felt a pang of anxiety and touched her son's forehead. Fortunately, it wasn't hot.
She asked about the situation carefully and looked at the complementary food prepared by Xiao He. She judged that the water quality and eating habits in the south might be causing the little guy's stomach to be uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, it shouldn't be a big problem. Stop feeding your baby with complementary foods for a while, and just drink milk powder. Make sure the milk powder is diluted a little." Jiang Haitang arranged calmly. Although she felt distressed, she did not panic.
At this time, several other people also gathered around and showed concern for Xiaochengzi.
"Let's take him to the hospital. He's a small child with a delicate stomach. We can't be careless with him."
Mr. Chen then immediately contacted the factory and asked them to send a car to take Jiang Haitang and Xiao He to the nearby staff hospital for a check-up.
After examination, the doctor confirmed that it was just mild indigestion and prescribed some medicine.
Xiao He felt relieved when he heard that the doctor's conclusion was similar to Jiang Haitang's.
It was a false alarm, but this little episode also allowed other members of the group to more intuitively feel the difficulty of Jiang Haitang balancing work and family.
Li Xinghai privately found Xiao Zhao and said to him, "Talk to the factory and see if they can provide more hot water to Jiang's room every day. The children need it for making milk powder and heating bottles. It's much more than what we need."
Xiao Zhao looked at Mr. Li in surprise. He didn't expect that the person who had the most objections before would now take the initiative to care about these trivial matters. He nodded in agreement quickly.
When Xiao Zhao later told Jiang Haitang what Li Xinghai had said, Jiang Haitang was quite surprised.
As for Li Xinghai, she had long noticed that this person had some prejudice against him, but she didn't expect that he would pay so much attention to her.
Jiang Haitang kept Li Xinghai's kindness in mind. Unable to do anything else, she could only translate and explain to the other people more carefully at work, and try her best to help them master more new knowledge.
Jiang Haitang worked even harder to organize her notes, translate more detailed equipment manuals, and prepare an outline for the next day's discussion to share with several other people.
However, the challenges of their work go far beyond this.
When debugging a key drafting roller system, no matter how it was adjusted, the uniformity of the product always failed to meet the design standards.
Mr. Hoffman also frowned and checked the mechanical parts repeatedly, and believed that there was no problem with the installation.
Jiang Haitang didn't give up easily. Holding a high-power magnifying glass, she scrutinized the roller surface inch by inch, repeatedly comparing the German drawings with the Chinese translation. Finally, she discovered a problem.
"Mr. Chen, look here," she pointed to a subtle mark on the drawing. "The original version had this mark '... I suspect this set of rollers manufactured domestically may have only been surface hardened, not deep hardened. This results in insufficient rigidity and slight deformation under high-speed operation!"
Jiang Haitang came to this conclusion after careful consideration.
This discovery was earth-shattering! Everyone gathered around.
Some people think that this is just Jiang Haitang's guess and this shouldn't be the reason.
Everyone started arguing.
After listening to everyone's arguments, Director Wan decided to believe Jiang Haitang.
He arranged for the factory's technical staff to check the processing records immediately.
Half an hour later, the verification results came out, and it was exactly as Jiang Haitang had guessed!
Due to a translation error, the processing plant only performed surface nitriding treatment. Although the hardness is close, the deformation resistance is far inferior to deep quenching.
The root of the problem has been found!
The factory was both scared and grateful.
Especially the few technicians who had just opposed Jiang Haitang were extremely ashamed.
"Comrade Haitang, I'm so sorry for what happened just now. If you hadn't insisted, I'm afraid we would have made a big mistake."
If this problem is not discovered, once the machine is officially put into production, not only will the product quality be unstable, but it may also cause premature damage to the rollers, resulting in huge losses from downtime for maintenance.
They originally looked down on the young female comrade Jiang Haitang. Even if she had the ability, she was too young.
In their opinion, people who work in this field also need to accumulate experience.
But now, reality has slapped them in the face. There is no necessary connection between ability, age and even qualifications.
Director Wan shook Jiang Haitang's hand and thanked him repeatedly, "Mr. Jiang, thank you so much! This helped our factory avoid a major accident!"
Old Chen stroked his beard, his face full of pride.
Li Xinghai and others were even more convinced.
It was with her strong professional skills and extremely responsible attitude that she solved the technical core of the key problem that even foreign experts could not see at a glance!
This brings honor to the country.
After this incident, Jiang Haitang reached the peak of his status in the project team.
Even the arrogant Mr. Hoffman would nod politely whenever he saw her and pay special attention to her opinions when discussing technology.
The subsequent debugging and communication work progressed much more smoothly.
Jiang Haitang not only participated deeply in technical exchanges, but also keenly felt the vigorous vitality of the Flower City as a frontier of reform and opening up.
As the work progressed rapidly, Jiang Haitang and others also had their first break.
