Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 20 Zhao Wei
The machine tool factory is not located in the main factory area of ​​Hongxing Company.

Due to the adjustment of the main factory area more than ten years ago, except for the closely related units of the automobile manufacturing industry, other supporting units have moved to Xinkai District, Beishan City, which is seven or eight kilometers away from the main factory area, and is already on the side of the mountain.

There is an internal transportation bus from the main factory area to the Xinkai District, which runs every hour, which is very convenient.

Zhong Cheng showed his stamped and signed entry and exit certificate and got on the traffic bus. After half an hour, he arrived at the machine tool factory in Xinkai District.

He went directly to the manager's office on the fifth floor of the office building of the machine tool factory and found Manager Li.

Manager Li owed him a favor, which was the main reason why he decided to come to the machine tool factory for help.

Although he is unsophisticated, he also knows that no one will talk to a stranger for no reason.

Manager Li was surprised by Zhong Cheng's visit, but also very happy.

"Xiao Zhong, why do you want to come to my place, come on, sit down!"

He stood up from behind the desk, came over and pulled Zhong Cheng to sit on the sofa, and made Zhong Cheng a cup of tea.

"I heard that you are now in the design department of the technical department of the engine business department. That place is a place for the elderly. Young people will be useless after staying for a long time. You should come to my side."

Manager Li still recognized Zhong Cheng's ability, and wanted to poach people when they met.

Zhong Cheng smiled wryly and didn't answer the question, "Manager Li, I've been designing a new type of crankshaft cylindrical CNC grinding machine for a while, and found that the CNC system is not suitable, and I want to ask you for help."

This is the rhetoric he had already thought up. He didn't dare to directly say the idea of ​​designing the Nuwa industrial mother machine, for fear of being regarded as a lunatic.

Grinding is just one of the many functions in the industrial machine. To put it simply, find a suitable software developer first and then talk about the rest.

Manager Li became interested when he heard the words. He was originally engaged in machine tool design, but he mentioned leadership positions in the past few years.

The two discussed the design plan of the CNC grinding machine, and Manager Li frowned.

He is an expert. Although Zhong Cheng has simplified the design function several times, he still sees the problem.

"Xiao Zhong, the design idea of ​​your CNC grinding machine is very advanced, but the requirements for the CNC system are too high. The current system cannot meet this requirement, and a new CNC system must be developed."

Zhong Cheng secretly praised it, an expert is an expert, which saved him a lot of embarrassment.

"Yeah, I'm not good at this. I heard that your machine tool factory has a lot of software development experts, so I can only ask you for help."

Thousands of wears, no flattery.

Manager Li slapped his thigh and said, "Well, I'm going to hold a meeting with the people in the software development department now, and you can also participate. If they all say no, then forget it."

He still has hope for the design scheme of CNC grinding machine proposed by Zhong Cheng. If the CNC system can meet the requirements of use, it can completely become the main product of the machine tool factory.

Half an hour later, in the small conference room next to Manager Li's office, all six software engineers including the director of the software development room of the machine tool factory arrived.

Zhong Cheng gave a general introduction to the requirements of the CNC system, but immediately made the participants frown.

Director Chen of the software development room first denied the idea of ​​developing a brand new CNC system from a professional point of view.

How to develop a CNC system, the mode and model are very important: a preliminary version needs to be developed, applied to the machine tool, sold, collected customer suggestions, modified and upgraded.

Don't think about writing a good system without market feedback in a short period of one or two years.

There was a technician in the machine tool factory who tried to develop a brand new numerical control system in vain. As a result, after 10 years of development, it still only stayed on the computer and was not practical at all.

"Year 10?"

Zhong Cheng was a little dumbfounded. Is this technician too stupid, or is it too difficult to develop the control system?

Manager Li didn't expect the problem to be so troublesome. Like Zhong Cheng, he didn't know much about software development.

He helplessly smiled bitterly at Zhong Cheng, expressing that there was nothing he could do to help.

But Zhong Cheng found something discordant in several software development engineers' pandering to Director Chen's speech.

There was a 50-[-]-year-old black and thin engineer wearing highly myopic glasses, who seemed not very interested in Director Zhao's words, and agreed a little perfunctorily.

He cast his eyes on the engineer and asked, "May I ask what you think about this matter, master?"

Zhong Cheng's words made several software engineers almost laugh, but they held back under Director Chen's gaze.

Zhong Cheng was very surprised. Is there something wrong with this sentence?
The dark and thin engineer had an embarrassing expression on his face, a little hesitant, and didn't speak right away.

Seeing this, Manager Li introduced to Zhong Cheng: "This is Zhao Wei, Mr. Zhao, a graduate student majoring in CNC system programming, and an old employee of the machine tool factory."

Then he said to Zhao Wei: "Gong Zhao, if you have any ideas, speak up boldly, don't worry!"

Manager Li is the leader of the machine tool factory, his words made Zhao Wei's highly myopic eyes shine.

He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "I think this bell worker's idea can be realized, I want to try!"

Several software engineers showed expressions of wanting to laugh again, but Director Chen quickly solved Zhong Cheng's doubts.

Director Chen said unhappily to Zhao Wei: "Old Zhao, what Manager Li means is that he wants to develop a control program that can be put into practice as soon as possible. If you do it for another 10 years, what's the use? Don't make trouble!"

It turned out that Mr. Zhao was the person Director Chen said had developed the CNC system for 10 years. Zhong Cheng was very disappointed.

Zhao Wei obviously wanted to seize this opportunity to perform in front of the leader, he said stubbornly: "That was before, can you give me another chance?"

Zhong Cheng was a little touched, and saw his own shadow from Zhao Wei's body, despised by others, as humble as weeds.

He said to Manager Li: "I think Mr. Zhao is very suitable. Anyway, other people are not willing, so let Mr. Zhao and I develop this control system together."

He didn't want to recruit. If he couldn't do it, he could do it slowly by himself. It could be done in three to five years, but it couldn't keep up with the replacement of Red Star's equipment.

Taking this Mr. Zhao with him, it can be regarded as helping him.

Manager Li hesitated for a moment, and asked Director Chen: "Does Mr. Zhao have any projects in hand now?"

Director Chen immediately replied: "Old Zhao has not been in good health for the past two years, and he has not been assigned any project."

Manager Li pondered for a while, and said to Zhong Cheng: "Xiao Zhong, I'll ask Mr. Zhao to cooperate with your work, but if it really doesn't work, then give up early, don't waste time."

"Actually, your design idea of ​​the grinding machine is still very good. If you lower some standards, there is still hope."

Zhong Cheng sighed in his heart, this has already dropped too much, if it drops again, why should I develop it.

But he still expressed his gratitude to Manager Li for his support.

Everyone else left, leaving only Zhong Cheng and Zhao Wei in the small conference room.

Manager Li asked the two of them to communicate how to start the design work.

Zhong Cheng and Zhao Wei stared at each other, not knowing how to start.

After a while, Zhao Weicai said a word.

"Actually, I have already developed a brand new CNC system, which is more than enough for your CNC grinding machine!"
