How could Technician Nie not know about “machine tool modification”? In fact, many domestic machinery factories have modified machine tools before. However, the final reality was not as expected, because they found that the accuracy of the modified machine tools not only decreased, but some machine tools could not even be installed at all. The complexity of this is hard to describe in a few words.

Now Zhou Tian mentioned the machine tool transformation. Could Master Zhou really do it? Thinking of this, Technician Nie couldn't help but feel a little skeptical.

After all, even he couldn't guarantee that he could do such a thing.

But in the end, he decided to test Zhou Tian and asked, "Master Zhou, are you sure?"

Zhou Tian nodded, then shook his head and said, "I am somewhat certain, but not completely sure!"

He did not hide this fact. After all, the reason why he proposed the transformation of machine tools was, on the one hand, to promote the progress of domestic industry, and on the other hand, to verify the role of the virtual space in his mind.

In order to see if the virtual space in his mind is really as amazing as he imagined, he has experimented with the skills of benchwork, and it has indeed helped him increase his benchwork experience and constantly correct his shortcomings in benchwork.

That was why he was able to improve his locksmith skills so quickly in such a short period of time, but to be honest, he was not sure about the mechanical modifications.

After all, theory is theory, but theory is not equal to practice. The virtual space in his mind has appeared many times about the adjustment of machine tools, but he is still in the stage of exploration as to what the key tricks are.

The transformation of machine tools is not limited to lathes, but a series of different models and types, such as drilling machines, boring machines, grinding machines, gear processing machines, thread processing machines, spline processing machines, milling machines, planers, slotting machines, broaching machines, special processing machines, sawing machines and scoring machines, etc. Each type is divided into several groups according to its structure or processing object, and each group is divided into several types.

It can be said that the modification of machine tools is extremely complicated and requires deep mechanical knowledge. He dare not imagine how much work is involved.

Fortunately, he just wants to modify the lathe now. After all, he is only using a lathe and a boring machine now.

After hearing Zhou Tian's words, Technician Nie and Deputy Director Yang couldn't help but fall silent. They didn't know whether Zhou Tian could really succeed in the transformation, but after all, this matter involved some big things.

They couldn't make up their minds for a while. After all, the factory was still nominally under the management of Lou Jiancheng, and they only had the right to make suggestions but not the right to make decisions.

Besides, even if they had the power to make decisions, it was impossible for the two of them to stop the current production and transform the machine tools for an illusory purpose.

If it succeeds, it will be fine and everyone will get credit. But if it fails, then it will delay the country's production tasks, which is no small matter.

For a moment, the two were both excited and conflicted.

There was silence for a long time.

"Master Zhou, how sure are you?"

Deputy Director Yang was a retired soldier after all, and he had a bit of a decisive and efficient air. His expression changed several times before he finally looked up and asked.

Although the whole thing does seem a bit risky, he also knows that the honor he may get after the successful transformation of the machine tool cannot be compared with ordinary merit. Between honor and risk, he decided to take a gamble. As a former soldier, he has the courage to take risks. He might as well take a chance to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle. Anyway, no matter how bad it gets, he can just return to the army.

Zhou Tian thought for a moment and said, "Deputy Director Yang, I can't say it's 100%, but I'm still 80% sure!"

"Eighty percent certainty is enough!"

Deputy Factory Director Yang muttered to himself, then slapped the table and said, "Well, since Master Zhou is 80% sure, let's give it a try! Let's gamble!"

"Lao Yang, calm down! Do you know how many types of machine tools there are?"

After all, Technician Nie is not Deputy Director Yang. He has a deep understanding of machine tools and knows very well that machine tool transformation is not a small project.

The significance contained in this is so great that, let alone their steel rolling mill, even the machinery factory in the northeast would probably not dare to boast that they have transformed all their machine tools.

Although he heard Master Zhou's words seemed to be full of confidence in the transformation of the machine tool, he still couldn't believe it.

After all, Master Zhou is, after all, just a fitter. Although his learning ability may be incredible, his knowledge base probably does not allow him to be familiar with all machine tools.

After hearing the conversation between Deputy Director Yang and Technician Nie, Zhou Tian was stunned. When did he say that all the machine tools would be modified?

Even if he had the idea, he didn't have the ability. Now just being able to master the lathe and boring machine was already a bit of a stretch for him. After all, he was just a software engineer in his previous life, not a mechanical engineer.

But on second thought, he realized that he might not have explained it clearly, and Deputy Director Yang and Technician Nie also had some misunderstandings.

Thinking of this, he immediately said, "No, I said Deputy Director Yang, Technician Nie, maybe I didn't make it clear, you two misunderstood, the machine tool transformation I mentioned only transforms the lathe and boring machine!"

“Just rebuilding the lathe and boring machine?”

When Technician Nie and Deputy Director Yang heard Zhou Tian's words, they immediately stopped arguing, looked at Zhou Tian again and asked?

"Yes! Technician Nie, Deputy Director Yang, although I, Zhou Tian, ​​have some ability, I know my own limitations. Machine tools include too many items. With my current knowledge and ability, I am simply not able to support me in modifying all of them. Being able to modify lathes and boring machines is already my limit!"

Zhou Tian had to explain.

After hearing Zhou Tian's words, both Deputy Director Yang and Nie Guodong breathed a sigh of relief. However, they couldn't help but blame Zhou Tian for not telling them earlier, which made them think that Zhou Tian was planning to renovate all the machine tools in the factory.

If it was just a matter of modifying the lathes and boring machines, then this would be a simple task, after all, there were several lathes and boring machines that were no longer usable in the abandoned warehouse of the steel rolling mill.

This will not only allow the steel mill to continue production, but even if the transformation fails in the end, the two will not suffer any losses.

"Master Zhou, why didn't you tell us earlier? We would have made the decision earlier. But you directly proposed to modify the machine tool, which scared Technician Nie and me!"

Deputy Director Yang came back to his senses and couldn't help laughing. He had made up his mind and planned to fight for it, but now things were completely different from what he thought.

His mind relaxed, and he couldn't help but look at Zhou Tian with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Although the transformation of lathes and boring machines is a big deal for the factory, it is not a big deal compared to the overall transformation of machine tools.
