"Do you understand this plan? What is proposed in this plan are all new products that fill the gap in agricultural machinery in our country. There is no similarity between them!" Huang Wanan was anxious. In his opinion, the man in front of him was just in his early 20s.
The young man was so arrogant that he no longer regarded himself as an authority.
"Professor Huang, don't get excited, let Xiao Qin finish. Young people sometimes speak more impulsively, but we advocate speaking freely, so let Xiao Qin finish speaking first, and then discuss anything that everyone feels is inappropriate." Cui Hongchun
He spoke, and on the surface it seemed to be to stop the fight, but everyone could tell that the minister was obviously favoring this young man.
Qin Hai's words seemed very abrupt in such a meeting, but they made Cui Hongchun's eyes light up. Cui Hongchun was not only satisfied with the plan submitted by Wang Changsong, but also vaguely felt some unspeakable shortcomings. Before the meeting, he had
I read the plan carefully several times, trying to find some existing problems, but I couldn't find any obvious flaws. The plan was very comprehensive, and everything Cui Hongchun could think of was covered in the plan.
Now, even if there are some areas that are still worthy of discussion, they are just some minor flaws and cannot be said to be major flaws.
Qin Hai's speech suddenly awakened Cui Hongchun. He quickly reviewed the entire plan in his mind, only to realize that the shortcomings he had felt before were actually just that the plan was too perfect, so perfect that there was nothing new.
, there is no essential difference from the previous plans for similar actions.
For example, this plan is like a study plan written by a child: I will study Chinese well this semester. I will study mathematics well this semester. I will study English well this semester... Every aspect is written down.
.It seems perfect, but if you think about it carefully, you find that it actually says nothing and is just nonsense.
Qin Hai is right. If such a plan can enable China's agricultural machinery to catch up with the world's advanced level, then this goal should have been achieved 10 years ago.
The authorities are confused, Cui Hongchun thought to himself, with this thought. He stopped Huang Wanan from censuring Qin Hai and motioned for Qin Hai to continue.
Qin Hai smiled and nodded to everyone, as if to express his apology, and then continued: "Professor Huang just said that the products proposed in this plan are all new products that fill the gap in agricultural machinery in our country. From the surface
It seems that this is indeed the case. For example, our country currently only has four-row suspended cultivators. This plan proposes to develop a six-row cultivator, which will fill the gap in this aspect in our country.
But think about it, everyone, is the gap between my country's agricultural machinery and the international advanced level really reflected in the four-line and six-line aspects? I saw a statistic in a document. In terms of farming machinery, foreign countries have We have been able to manufacture 80% of the models, and at the worst, we can imitate them. However, how big does everyone think the gap between our country’s farming machinery and foreign countries is? Is it just a gap between 80% and 100%?”
"This...it's really not true." Zhu De responded calmly. "Take our factory's imitation of the American disc weeder as an example. Our disc diameter, soil penetration angle, advance angle, seedling protection belt width, etc.
.They are all similar to products originating in the United States, but...the quality is completely incomparable."
"Why?" Cui Hongchun interrupted. He had already heard the problem, but he still needed Zhu Deqin to say it himself.
"Minister Cui, you know that our counterfeit disc weeders are completely similar in appearance to American products, but their average service life is 6 years, and we can't even reach 3 years. The quality of the disc blades is not
Comparatively speaking, even for things like universal joints and hinges, our quality can't match American products, which means the price can be slightly cheaper, otherwise we won't be able to sell them at all," Zhu Detai said without hesitation.
"Yes, the main reason is that the service life of our machinery is not as good as others, but other things are fine."
"Stop bragging, what about fuel consumption? Compared with others, our tractor's fuel consumption is at least 50% higher."
"Does noise also count? We have tried French equipment. It is quiet and you can listen to music in the cab."
"..."
With Zhu Detai's start, everyone else also spoke one after another and began to enumerate the flaws of domestically produced equipment. Everyone is engaged in agricultural machinery, and everyone knows more thoroughly than Qin Hai about the problems with domestically produced agricultural machinery. When it comes to sadness,
Everyone sighed, saying that the gap with foreign countries was really despairingly huge.
"What everyone said is very good." Qin Hai raised his voice to suppress everyone's comments, then smiled slightly and asked: "Everyone has just said that we can completely imitate imported equipment, but the imitated products will not matter.
Although the appearance is similar to imported equipment, the quality is completely different. In other words, the gap between us and foreign countries is not reflected in the specific model, but in the quality of each type of machinery.
However, in the action plan we see now, it does not talk about how to improve the quality of agricultural machinery. Let me ask, if we use this low-quality imitation method to so-called fill the gap, even if it is filled, the gap between us and foreign countries will remain.
Will it be shortened?”
Everyone in the audience was speechless.
Once upon a time, everyone from government departments to manufacturing companies were keen on hyping the concept of "filling the gaps." I saw that foreigners could build certain equipment, so I bought one, disassembled it into eight pieces, and measured and mapped it part by part.
Counterfeit, and then put together an identical piece of equipment and show it to the superior department: This is the so-and-so equipment we produced ourselves. The history of our country being unable to manufacture such-and-such equipment is gone forever.
However, everyone knows that such counterfeit products cannot reach the quality of the original products. Whether it is energy consumption, noise, accuracy, or service life, they are far behind imported equipment. The reason is nothing more than this
The differences in workmanship and materials cannot be made up for by copycat methods.
The so-called laymen watch the show, and the insiders watch the door. The public and superior leaders do not understand these complex performance indicators. What they can see is just the appearance of the product. You can copy the product and start it and spin it a few times. Leaders
Long Yan is very happy. As for the shaft in the machine that has been worn out after these few turns and the accuracy cannot be guaranteed, how can the leader have so much time to care?
Such a cultural atmosphere has directly led to the tendency to emphasize products from top to bottom and ignore materials and processes. It has also widened the gap between China and foreign countries in terms of processes and materials.
As a materials scientist, Qin Hai had a deep understanding of this problem. He discovered this fatal flaw in the plan drawn up by Wang Changsong and others, so he exposed it in front of everyone.
"Xiao Qin, in your opinion, where should the focus of this plan be?" Cui Hongchun first broke the silence and began to humbly ask Qin Hai for advice.
Qin Hai replied without hesitation: "It's very simple, just six words: new materials, new technology."
"New materials, new technology..." Everyone in the audience silently recited these six words Qin Hai said. For Qin Hai, they no longer had any contempt for him, but felt a sense of awe.
"I believe that during the Seventh and Eighth Five-Year Plans, the most important task of the agricultural machinery system is not to launch new models of agricultural machinery products. This low-level imitation is not enough to comprehensively improve our country's agricultural machinery technology level. We should focus on the main tasks
We focus our energy on the research and development of new materials and new processes, striving to significantly improve the quality of our existing agricultural machinery, and the quality of some agricultural machinery has reached the world's advanced level." Qin Hai explained.
"Qin Gong, can you give an example?" Zhu Detai asked.
Qin Haidao: "Okay, let me tell you about the rotary tillage blades produced by Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory in Anhe Province. You must have heard that the service life of our rotary tillage blades has reached the average level of similar products in Japan, so
It has entered the Japanese market and exported 1 million pieces last year, earning 400 million yen in foreign exchange for the country.
So, why can our rotary tillage blades achieve such high quality? In fact, it is very simple, that is, we use a new high-frequency surfacing process in production, and at the same time improve the quality of the blade steel. A new material, plus a
This new process makes our blades stand out.”
"Can this technology... be taught to us?" Zhu Detai couldn't wait to send out an offer. The product they produce is a disc weeder, in which the disc cutter head is a consumable part. The wear principle of the disc blade is related to that of the rotor blade.
The tillage blades are exactly the same, and the technology used on the rotary tillage blades can also be transplanted to the disc cutter head for use.
Qin Hai chuckled and said: "It's absolutely fine...as long as you can afford the fee."
"That's very touching... Hey, do you still charge fees?" Before Zhu Detai could finish his words, Qin Hai already said something about the fees, which made Zhu Detai take a breath.
"Of course there are fees." Qin Hai said confidently, "Technology is the primary productive force, and productivity must of course be charged. Otherwise, who would be interested in developing new technologies?"
"We are all national enterprises..." Zhu Detai argued angrily.
"Director Zhu, Xiao Qin, we will discuss the matters between you after the meeting." Cui Hongchun quickly interrupted. The two of them didn't care about the occasion. They actually talked about the price at such a meeting. It was really insulting.
After the gentle drink stopped Zhu and Qin, Cui Hongchun began to say to everyone seriously:
"Comrades, the opinions that Comrade Qin Hai just gave us are very pertinent, very valuable and very timely. Over the years, we have only focused on the development of new products, but have seriously neglected the research of new materials and new processes. This has made our
The products look exactly the same as those abroad, but the quality is worlds apart. Professor Chen was right just now. This is the real technological gap between us and foreign countries, and this is what we should give priority to in this action plan.
The key work of status.
Please keep in mind that during the Seventh Five-Year Plan and the Eighth Five-Year Plan, the key work of our agricultural machinery system is these six words: new materials and new processes!"
