When Liu Lang went to Shencheng, he only visited Xiao Nanguang, but not the big leaders of Liaobei Province. He only stayed in Shencheng for most of a day and then hurried home. When he returned to Fucheng, he did not go home directly.
The first stop was the warehouse at Fucheng Station, because there were twelve sets of advanced equipment purchased from the United States.
These twelve sets of equipment were stored in a large warehouse and were guarded by dedicated personnel. These people were all Wang Zhendong's old subordinates. The guards on these equipment were all at the military level. For more than three months, only Professor Xiong Huaizhi was free.
No one else is allowed to enter or exit it.
The first thing Liu Lang saw when he walked into the warehouse was Professor Xiong and the ten apprentices he brought with him. Several of them had set up camp in the warehouse. Apart from sleeping and eating, they were studying these dozen machine tools.
"Liu Lang, you are finally back!"
Seeing Liu Lang's return, Professor Xiong shouted happily.
Professor Xiong is more energetic now than he was half a year ago, and he has the air of an old man chatting like a teenager.
"Professor, how are these devices?"
"Needless to say? They are all good things! I have never seen such good equipment in my life. If our country can manufacture it by itself, then our industrial level can definitely be improved a lot, and even cars can be manufactured.
!”
Professor Xiong sighed repeatedly while touching a grinder.
"Professor, these machine tools can only be considered second-rate in the United States, but even so, the Americans are very defensive. We spent a lot of effort to buy these dozen machine tools!"
These twelve sets of equipment were transported back to China by Du Zhongyi with great difficulty through illegal channels. The specific process is not known, but it is said that American arms dealers were involved, and the goods were transferred to Afghanistan in the Middle East.
It took more than two o'clock and it took more than a month to arrive.
Hong Kong Island, and then some mysterious departments of the country came forward to bring this batch of goods back to the country. The process seemed simple, but in fact the hardships inside can be imagined. You must know that Liu Lang spent as much as 3 million on these equipments.
US dollars, more than double the purchase price.
"Hey, I don't expect those first-class equipment. By the way, Liu Lang, I have tested these equipment in the past few months. Here are the data results. Take a look!"
Professor Xiong stayed in Fucheng for nearly half a year. In the first few months, he worked with Fucheng Mining College to train outstanding workers in the city. After the equipment arrived, he focused all his energy on it.
He led several apprentices to test twelve sets of equipment and recorded the data results. He wrote a large book in a few months.
Liu Lang sighed slightly in his heart. He saw that these equipments were all brand new. There was no trace of wear on the turning tools. Apparently they had not been used even once. The so-called data was Professor Xiong's experience on these machine tool turning tools.
The rotation speed and some subtle analysis of bed vibration are basically of no use. Most of these data are written in the manual.
Doesn’t the professor know this? Of course he does, but he also knows that Liu Lang spent a lot of effort to buy these equipment from the United States. The value is unclear, but he still remembers how valuable the stainless steel smelting furnace was imported four years ago.
It's not easy. A stainless steel smelting furnace is so laborious, not to mention these machine tools, which are considered very good internationally. Each one is priceless in his eyes. Liu Lang must have spent a lot of money to buy these equipment.
After paying a huge price, he didn't dare to use them easily, for fear of being damaged at all, but these machine tools were right in front of him, and leaving him, an expert who was obsessed with life, indifferent, was even more uncomfortable than killing him, so he simply went to work every day.
Staying in the warehouse, plugging in the electricity and just listening to the sound of the machine tools turning made him satisfied. He was like a beggar who had been hungry for several days and couldn't afford those delicacies, but he was extremely happy just by smelling the smell.
.
"Professor, these machine tools are meant to be used after they are purchased. It would be better for you to just let them idle every day. There is nothing else in Fucheng City. There are plenty of old parts. Just use those parts for testing!"
"That's not possible. These machine tools are very valuable. If they become worn out and there is no place to repair them, you must cherish them!"
Professor Xiong really regards these machine tools as treasures and is reluctant to use them casually.
"By the way, Liu Lang, let me introduce these people to you. You all know Hu Tao, Du Feng and Zhang Xiaofeng. These are all your fellow countrymen, Zhang Liang, Liu Peiwen, Zhou Fan...!"
In the past six months, Wang Zhendong and his men have done a lot of work. Huaxia Industrial Technology and Fucheng Mining College jointly conducted training for young workers under the age of forty in Fucheng. This training was based on the Ministry of Industry
It was done in name only, and Wang Zhendong still had the title of "Deputy Minister" on his head. With such a big official sitting in charge, even the mayor had to obey.
But don't think this is easy. Just because officials are obedient does not mean that workers are obedient. Fucheng is an old industrial city with tens of thousands of industrial workers. These workers have little education and have spent their whole lives working in factories.
But being uneducated does not mean that there is no skill. Many old workers do have some skills that they can excel in. The most typical one is that they can make "unconventional" fixtures. They can use these fixtures to forge various strange-shaped parts.
, relying on this craft, these old workers are all "ancestors" in their respective factories. They have hundreds to dozens of apprentices, and even the factory director dare not offend them.
When Huaxia Industrial Technology trained industrial workers in the city, they were first resisted by these old workers. In their eyes, where can those schools train good workers? Workers' skills must be acquired in practice. Those in schools
Students are a bunch of nerds who talk a lot but don't do anything. Moreover, they are very conceited and their abilities are considered to be the highest in the country. The so-called experts are not as good as themselves.
Liu Lang had encountered this kind of thing. When the country introduced stainless steel smelting furnaces, a team of experts were dispatched from Shougang and Anyang Iron and Steel to copy the smelting furnaces. Among them were many master workers. At that time, there were some old workers who relied on their old skills and thought they had the skills.
There are some "unique skills" that I refuse to show off.
Liu Lang is not used to them. The so-called craftsmanship is a kind of skill, which is a small method they have summed up during hundreds or thousands of forging processes. In the eyes of others, this is a unique skill, but in the eyes of Liu Lang, there is no secret.
It can be said that he can analyze various data to improve the craftsmanship. The forging skills mastered by those old workers are far behind Liu Lang's ability.
Not to mention Liu Lang, even if you pick any employee at Huaxia Industrial Technology, their level is much better than those old workers. The reason is very simple. In terms of theoretical knowledge, at best they are all undergraduates and have mastered all kinds of skills.
In terms of mechanical manufacturing knowledge and practical ability, Professor Xiong’s students studied in the workshop all day long. Especially after the establishment of Huaxia Industrial Technology, Liu Lang taught everyone many design skills without reservation, and these skills were written into
Textbook, how can those old workers compare with them?
