Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

The blond old man's face darkened when he heard his men praising him.

He looked down on China from the bottom of his heart. Now, when he heard his subordinates praising China's machine tools, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

However, as the director of the Serte Factory and also a famous mechanical engineer in the big brother country, he did not want to show it in front of everyone. He could only suppress the discomfort in his heart, squatted down and began to check the batch of machine tools from China.

Unexpectedly, this sight made him fall into an indescribable sense of mechanical beauty. Compared with the research institutes below, he had achieved higher achievements in the field of mechanics and had seen more things. He saw at a glance the terrible rationality in the design concepts of these machine tools.

Even though he was discriminatory against China, he couldn't help but admire the advanced design concepts of the other party.

However, due to his long-term prejudice against China, he still found it hard to believe that China could design such advanced machine tools. He believed that machine tools should be mainly practical and the appearance was just an embellishment.

Holding back the shock in his heart, he stood up and said to everyone, "Okay, now that everyone has finished their inspection, let's start the experiment. I want to see if these machine tools are worthy of this gorgeous appearance!"

After listening to the factory director's words, all the researchers looked at each other in bewilderment, but they also obediently began to conduct experiments in an orderly manner.

When the machine tools were turned on, the slight vibration and the seemingly silent engine sounds made them reveal shocked expressions on their faces. Even the blond old man who always had a look of disdain on his face was shocked by the noise of the machine tools.

He really didn't expect that before he even started the experiment, this batch of machine tools from China would teach them a lesson.

As the experiments followed, his face became uglier and darker. At this time, even a layman, when seeing the operating speed of these machine tools and their terrible stability, could easily draw a conclusion that this batch of machine tools was indeed good.

But for those who have done research in the field of mechanics, this is simply a terrifying breakthrough.

Sure enough, as a group of researchers began to operate the machine tools, exclamations were heard again. Those exclamations were like slaps directly in the face.

"How is this possible? How is it possible that China's research on machine tools is more advanced than ours? This is impossible!"

The blond old man shook his head, and the pride in his heart and the confidence in the domestic machinery field showed signs of collapse.

At this time, not to mention the blond old man, even the researchers operating the machine tools were all shocked and numb. It was hard for them to imagine why a country with such backward industry could be ahead of them in the research of machine tools.

This is so unbelievable.

Let’s not talk about the Sertai factory, let’s talk about the Bayi Red Star Research Institute. Since sending away a batch of machine tools last year, Zhou Tian has no longer paid attention to the production of machine tools. After all, the production of machine tools has been on the right track, and the rest is just to follow the routine.

But his attention was focused on the production of the electronics factory.

As electronic production lines were transported into electronics factories, the output of diodes, triodes and transistors in the electronics factories was gradually increasing. With diodes, triodes and transistors, home appliances such as radios in home appliance factories entered a period of upgrading.

More innovative home appliances were designed and became the darling of the international home appliance market. Red Star Home Appliances' international reputation also began to increase step by step.

The engineering machinery factory has begun to continuously produce trucks, transport trucks, concrete mixer trucks, crane trucks, coal mining machines, conveyor belt conveyors, and other engineering vehicles, and have been distributed to various construction sites and mines.

It can be said that the construction machinery factory has only just unleashed its full potential this year.

Various tractors, tricycles and agricultural equipment produced by the agricultural machinery factory also began to enter the rural areas around the old city, playing a huge role.

Especially last year, Zhoujia Village and Qinjia Village, the two villages that first used agricultural machinery, reclaimed hundreds of acres of arable land last year alone, and achieved an unprecedented grain yield of 400 kilograms per mu.

The outstanding output has made the surrounding rural areas jealous of the agricultural machinery of the two villages. This is one of the reasons why the orders for agricultural machinery increased rapidly just after the New Year this year.

The other was an order from Beidahuang. Apparently, the Ministry of Agriculture must have tasted the convenience of agricultural machinery from Beidahuang the year before last.

Everything in the five branches is running in a tense and orderly manner. Both Zhou Tian and Zhang Mingzhi are busy every day.

Especially since there are 48 residential buildings to be built this year, many people who know the inside story have come to the institute to look for opportunities, which has given Zhou Tian a headache. Although Minister Xie blocked it last time, it is obvious that Minister Xie is no longer willing to take care of the matter this time.

This made Zhou Tian doubt for the first time whether it was too early to turn against Minister Xie.

However, Zhou Tian immediately put the blame on the Ordnance Bureau. Since he had offended Minister Xie, he had no choice but to drag the Ordnance Bureau into the water.

With the Ordnance Bureau as a shield, soon there were fewer people coming to the research institute, and Zhou Tian was able to relax for a while.

"Dean, the higher-ups have assigned tasks for the research institute this year!"

Zhou Tian had just been free for less than two days when Zhang Mingzhi walked in with a task list.

"How many?"

Zhou Tian rubbed his temple helplessly and painfully, looked at Zhang Mingzhi and asked.

"Dean, there are 10,000 machine tools and 500,000 household appliances, a total of 2 million units, including 3,000 construction machines, 30,000 tractors, and 10,000 various agricultural machines..."

Listening to Zhang Mingzhi's long number, he felt as if his head was about to explode. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, just tell me. Based on the production capacity of our several branches, can we complete the above tasks on time?"

"Dean, based on the current scale of our branch, after discussing with Lao Song, we can still complete it, but the time is a bit tight!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingzhi put down the task list in his hand and told the truth.

"Well, as long as it can be completed, in this case, let's do it this way!"

"Well, Dean, if there is nothing else, I will arrange it!"

"Go!"

Zhang Ming nodded, turned around and walked out of the office.

Soon, the tasks were assigned to each branch. When the factory managers received the task lists, they all looked solemn. Especially Nie Guodong from the home appliance factory, he couldn't help but curse, "Which bastard gave this task to the home appliance factory? Two million home appliances of all kinds. Isn't this just trying to tire people to death?"

As the director of the home appliance factory who had been in office for half a year, Nie Guodong was originally happy that the factory's appliances could be exported, especially since the country expanded the factory several times last year. He thought this year would be a good opportunity for the factory to make great plans, but he did not expect that the higher-ups would give the factory such a heavy task.

500,000 various home appliances, isn't this going to cost lives? Not to mention the TVs, the radios alone are not a small number.

You know, although the home appliance factory has been expanded this year, the maximum output per day is only 3,000 units. Although this is due to the unskilled workers, it is simply impossible to produce 2 million home appliances a year.

Unless they work overtime day and night, but in this case, even if the machines can withstand it, the workers' bodies certainly cannot.

The entire factory has only 30,000 people in total, and this task is obviously beyond the capacity of the home appliance factory. Unless more production lines are added and apprentices are allowed to participate in production, how can the quality of home appliances be guaranteed in this way?
