Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Seeing the section chief lost in thought, Dong Tianbao hurriedly said, "Section Chief, please let us design with you. After all, we have been learning from you for such a long time. Even if we can't help you much, we can still help you! What do you think?"

"OK then!"

Since Dong Tianbao has said so much, Zhou Tian feels that it would be a bit inhumane to refuse again. Moreover, by combining theory with practice, they might be able to make faster progress. However, he always feels that this matter may not be as simple as Dong Tianbao said.

"Great, Chief, I'll go back and inform them right away!"

Hearing the section chief finally nod in agreement, Dong Tianbao cheered excitedly, turned around and ran out of the office like a gust of wind.

"This Dong Tianbao!"

Zhou Tian looked at his departing back, shook his head helplessly, and then began to think about how to arrange for them to participate. He had almost finished drawing the drawings of the grinder, and it was definitely too late for them to participate. As for the rolling bearing, that was a big problem, and even if it was handed over to them, it would probably be difficult to complete.

The only thing they could study was the hydrostatic bearing. He had already designed the bearing, and the next step was to have someone to control the production process. The hydrostatic bearing had a relatively simple structure, so it might be just right for them to practice.

Having made the decision, Zhou Tian sorted out the design drawings of the liquid hydrostatic bearing and stood up and walked towards the technical department.

Before he even reached the entrance of the technical department, he heard the excited cheers of the technical department members. He knew in his heart that Dong Tianbao must have told everyone about his decision.

He shook his head helplessly, said nothing, pushed the door open and walked in.

"The section chief is here, everyone be quiet!"

Seeing Zhou Tian coming in, everyone in the technical department immediately quieted down and looked at Zhou Tian with anticipation in their eyes.

"Okay, everyone, stop looking at me so eagerly. I agree that you want to participate in my research. But you are definitely not up to speed with the design of the grinder. Now I will give you a task, which is to produce the hydrostatic bearing on this drawing!"

As he spoke, Zhou Tian handed the drawings in his hand to Dong Tianbao and others beside him.

The few people who took the drawings handed over by Zhou Tian looked down, and confused expressions appeared on their faces, because they could not understand the contents on the drawings at all. Perhaps they could understand a single drawing, but they could not understand it when they were put together.

They were particularly confused about the liquid hydrostatic bearings mentioned by the section chief.

"Section Chief, what is this hydrostatic bearing used for?"

"Section Chief, could you first tell us about hydrostatic bearings?"

"Section Chief..."

Helplessly, they could only ask Zhou Tian for help.

Zhou Tian glanced at the doubts in everyone's eyes. He had expected it. After all, hydrostatic bearings have not yet been introduced, so it is normal for them not to know about them. Thinking that the subsequent production still depends on them, it is not possible not to explain the bearings clearly, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I will tell you what hydrostatic bearings are?"

As he spoke, he walked to the blackboard where he usually taught them and wrote the six big words "Liquid Hydrostatic Bearing" on it with chalk.

He then said: "Liquid hydrostatic bearing is the name I gave to this bearing. In my conception, a liquid hydrostatic bearing refers to a sliding bearing that relies on external pressure oil supply to build a hydrostatic load-bearing oil film inside the bearing to achieve liquid lubrication.

It has several ways of returning oil…”

While Zhou Tian explained to everyone his ideas and composition for designing the liquid hydrostatic bearing, he drew a structural diagram of the liquid hydrostatic bearing on the blackboard. Combining the structural diagram, he introduced the structure and advantages of the liquid hydrostatic bearing to everyone in detail.

Finally, when everyone had almost understood, he concluded: "In short, the hydrostatic bearing I envisioned has the characteristics of low friction resistance, low power consumption, and high transmission efficiency. There will be no wear caused by direct metal contact, the accuracy can be maintained well, and the service life is long."

"So the production of this hydrostatic bearing will be handed over to you. This is the first task I give you. Whether there will be more tasks in the future depends on your performance this time! Is everything clear?"

"Clear!"

Everyone responded in unison.

After all, they had attended classes for nearly a month and had a certain foundation. After the section chief explained, they now understood the structure of the hydrostatic bearing and naturally felt more confident.

"Okay, now that you understand, hurry up and prepare. I'll only give you three days, and I'll come to inspect it after three days!"

Seeing everyone's confident expressions, Zhou Tian smiled without commenting. After agreeing on a time with everyone, he left the technical department.

As soon as he left the technical department, he saw Song Lian running in from outside. When he saw Zhou Tian, ​​his eyes lit up immediately, and he pulled him out without saying anything.

"Brother Song, Brother Song, what are you taking me to do?"

Being dragged by Song Lian, Zhou Tian looked helpless. In fact, if he really wanted to break free, it would not be difficult, but looking at Song Lian's anxious look, it was obvious that there was something important.

"Is there something wrong with the 107 rocket launcher? No, that's not right. The 107 rocket launcher is designed by myself and has been improved in the virtual space of my mind. There shouldn't be any problem!"

"Hey, Xiaotian, don't ask any more questions, just follow me!"

Song Lian ignored Zhou Tian's thoughts and pushed him into the passenger seat, then started the car and left the steel mill.

"Brother Song, what are you so anxious about?"

In the car, Zhou Tian looked at Song Lian who was driving with a helpless look on his face and asked, he still hadn't figured out the situation yet, but Brother Song forcibly dragged him into the car. You know, there were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in the factory.

"Xiaotian, the 107 multiple rocket launcher you developed has attracted great attention from the superiors. Today, I received a call from my old leader, saying that a leader is coming to inspect. The old leader specifically told me to take you there. You must be more stable when you see the leader later, understand?"

"What? To meet the leader?"

When Zhou Tian heard this, he was shocked, became nervous instantly, and quickly refused.

"Brother Song, can I not go?"

"no!"

Song Lian shook his head without hesitation: "What are you thinking? Ordinary people don't have the opportunity to see the leader. Now I give you this opportunity, how can you not go? Besides, the old leader specifically notified me that I must bring you with me. If you say you don't want to go, then why don't you go?"

There was even a hint of disappointment in Song Lian's tone.

After all, in this era, being able to meet the leader is an extremely glorious thing. Most people can't even see him even if they want to. But this kid Zhou Tian has this opportunity and actually wants to give it up. How can this be acceptable?

"Brother Song, I just designed the blueprints for the 107 rocket launcher, why do you have to let me see the leader?"

Zhou Tian was somewhat helpless. Actually, he was not unwilling to meet the leader, but he was really scared. After all, he knew very well what level Zhang Yuan was. He knew with his toes that the person who was called a leader by Zhang Yuan was not simple and might be a big shot.

When he thought about what happened in his previous life, he even had the urge to jump out of the car and run away. He really didn't dare to get involved with those big shots with his small body.

"Don't be so modest, kid. You should know that the 107 multiple rocket launcher you designed was recognized by the boss and saved the life of an important person, so you have this opportunity. Others can't even envy you, so why are you still being so pretentious?"

Song Lian's words made Zhou Tian confused. He got the boss's approval? And he saved the life of a big shot? But as far as he knew, it seemed that there was only one big shot who died in the Peninsula War.

But didn't that person die 50 years ago? Could it be that I triggered the butterfly effect? ​​But think about it, I don't have that much ability.

The more Zhou Tian thought about it, the more headache he felt.

"Forget it, it's up to you, I don't want to think about it anymore, the more I think about it, the more headache I get!"

Fortunately, he simply gave up and knew everything would become clear once he met his leader.

The car quickly drove out of Sijiu City. The closer it got to the military factory, the faster Zhou Tian's heartbeat became, and the more nervous he became.

Even though he kept telling himself not to take it too seriously, he simply couldn't control himself.

That feeling was even more nervous than going to the girl's house to meet her parents.
