Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 18 Nuwa Industrial Mother Machine
In addition to learning knowledge in the "Daguo Heavy Industry System" these days, Zhong Cheng is also learning about the advanced machine tool manufacturing technology in the technology tree.

He discovered a "five-axis linkage CNC machine tool" that represents the highest state of the current machine tool manufacturing industry.

This kind of machine tool has the characteristics of high efficiency and high precision, and the machining of the pentahedron can be completed in one clamping of the workpiece.

The crankshaft machining process completed by more than 19 equipments of the K20 CNC line of Hongxing Company can be completed by one machine tool of this kind, and the precision is much higher.

If it is equipped with a high-end CNC system with five-axis linkage, it can also perform high-precision processing on complex spatial surfaces, and is more suitable for processing high-precision and complex workpieces such as auto parts and aircraft structural parts.

In a sense, it reflects the level of industrial development of a country.

This is a device that Western countries strictly control exports to China.

Zhong Chengcheng decided to design such a "five-axis linkage CNC machine tool", and to modify and improve it as an industrial machine tool for machine tool manufacturing.

He has already named it "Nuwa", expressing his hope for this kind of industrial mother machine.

With the Nuwa industrial mother machine, Huaxia can continuously manufacture various types of the most advanced machine tool equipment, completely changing the status quo of Huaxia's machine tool manufacturing industry.

But this "five-axis linkage CNC machine tool" manufacturing technology requires 10 technology points to unlock, and Zhong Cheng's current technology points are only 3586 points, which is not enough.

This is the result of his continuous efforts at the production site.

"9527, come out!"

He will never forget to find the system when he has something to do.

"Keep down, I can hear you, what's the matter?" 9527's impatient voice sounded in his mind.

"9527, let me ask you, why does this 'five-axis linkage CNC machine tool' need to be unlocked with technology points? Isn't this technology ready-made on Bluestar?"

"Hey, don't you want the most advanced? Yes, all the technologies for manufacturing this machine tool are clear to me now, but they must be combined to design the most advanced five-axis linkage CNC machine tool on Blue Star. I'm going to spend a lot of energy, and these 10 technology points are already very cheap."

Zhong Cheng expressed serious doubts. He always felt that 9527 was tricking him into spending technology points, and he didn't have so many technology points.

"9527, I want to design this kind of machine tool. Please tell me what help you can provide. There is no need for technology."

"Cough, how many catties and taels you have, I know better than you. How about this, I can give you the drawings and design principles of the five-axis linkage CNC machine tools in Deman and Dongyang, but you have to understand it yourself. If you just copy it Or imitate, it is impossible for you to surpass their level, and you are likely to fall into their design trap, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

After finishing speaking, 9527 added several sets of drawings to the system, not only those from Deman and Dongyang countries, but also the drawings of five-axis linkage CNC machine tools from several other big countries and even China's own.

"9527, thank you!"

Zhong Cheng thanked the system for the first time, and with these blueprints he had the foundation to realize his "ambition".

Otherwise, if he really wanted to design a five-axis linkage CNC machine tool out of thin air, even with his level of brain development, it would be impossible without more than ten years.

But he suddenly thought of a problem.

"9527, these blueprints are the core secrets of these companies, where did you get them?"

"Hey, you just need to use it. As long as you don't tell others, you'll be fine. Why bother!"

9527 explained with a guilty conscience, "I'm tired, let's rest first!"

After speaking, there was no more movement.

You only have one system, will you be tired?
Liar!
Forget it, it’s true, why bother so much, and no one will check my brain.

……

Zhong Cheng started the design work of the Nuwa industrial master machine, starting from the interpretation of the blueprint of the five-axis linkage CNC machine tool.

In the office, he looked at the computer and pretended to be looking for information, but he was actually looking at the drawings, eating, walking, and lying in bed.

Because he found that there were too many drawings for a set of five-axis linkage CNC machine tools.

Except for some standard parts such as screws and nuts that can be bought in the market, there are thousands of parts on the machine tool that are special parts and require design drawings.

Thousands of special parts and standard parts are assembled into machine tool components, machine tool components are assembled into assemblies, and each assembly is finally assembled into machine tools, all of which require assembly drawings.

These are still mechanical parts. A five-axis linkage CNC machine tool also has a complex hydraulic transmission system and electrical control system, all of which require design drawings.

Finally, these systems need to be combined with the numerical control system to realize the automatic operation of numerical control, which also requires a large number of design drawings.

A set of five-axis linkage CNC machine tool drawings has thousands of drawings, large and small, and each drawing is accompanied by a number of design instructions and manufacturing and assembly processes.

Under normal circumstances, the interpretation of such a complete set of drawings requires a large team involving the division of labor and cooperation of professionals in multiple fields.

If a normal person wants to read and understand, he can only despair!

But fortunately, Zhong Cheng is not a normal person.

It's just that this work is not something he can complete in a short time, so he must hurry up every minute.

Because interpreting drawings is not just about knowing characters, you also need to understand what these characters mean, which requires professional knowledge.

This professional knowledge is not only about mechanical manufacturing design and automation design, but also involves a series of related theoretical knowledge such as materials, metal processing, tool design, circuit design, and control programs.

He became an invisible man again, basically a three-point line of office, cafeteria, and dormitory, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Together with the people in the design office, sometimes when chatting, they suddenly find that there is a person who is "in a daze" in front of the computer all day long in the corner.

However, Director Deng consistently expressed encouragement to Zhong Cheng's performance, and told his colleagues in the office that Comrade Xiao Zhong is a calm young man, not impetuous at all.

The only thing Zhong Cheng was worried about was that Chief Vanke would be dissatisfied with his performance, but after attending a weekly meeting of the technical department, he dispelled his worries.

Chief Vanke praised him at the weekly meeting attended by all technical staff, for his ability to study hard and not to be arrogant or impetuous, and asked young technical staff to learn from him.

This made Zhong Cheng's name famous among other colleagues in the technical department, but what Zhong Cheng saw in their eyes was disdain.

In the first two weeks after he arrived in the technical department, he would also go to the branch factory.

But every time he would call Zhou Hu, Wang Anlin, and Lei Yongzhong to go with him to solve the on-site problems.

The three of them are not mediocre, and after a few visits, they also learned how to solve on-site problems.

Moreover, if the three of Zhou Hu couldn't solve any problems, they would ask Zhong Cheng to help analyze them. The three of them quickly established their prestige at the production site.

Of course, Zhong Cheng's "business" was also taken away.

As time passed, the workers in the branch factory stopped looking for him and went to Zhou Hu and the other three directly. After all, these matters were under their control, and it would be unreasonable to bother Zhong Cheng all the time.

Zhou Hu's inquiring about the "goddess" has also recently yielded results.

He managed to find out from his mother that the female major was one of the three newly recruited doctors from the company he had heard about before, and the other two doctors were the two male majors who accompanied her.

But they were not from Red Star Company at all, they were just sent to the company by the Ministry of Defense, as if for some secret project.

They only come to the company once in a while, and most of the time they should be in the capital, so Zhou Hu's mother doesn't know the details, not even their names.

Zhou Hu's mother sternly warned Zhou Hu not to inquire, let alone have unrealistic fantasies.

But when Zhong Cheng heard it, he felt that he was telling it to him.

Do I have this idea?
