young friends come to meet
Chapter 16 Stronger Than Steel
Yin Congnan not only invited Xin Zhihong, but also Liao Mingyan, the secretary of the research institute, along with three young researchers, who were not a few years older than Yin Congnan. They were all master students who graduated in recent years, and two of them were studying Ph.D.They heard that the machine designed by Yin Congnan, who had returned from studying abroad, was about to leave the factory, and they all wanted to see it.
After Ma Guosheng and Li Han received the news, they happily started making plans to welcome them early.He also transferred two of the highest-level administrative vehicles in the factory, and said that he would personally pick up the two leaders at the gate of the research institute early in the morning.Yin Congnan said that Director Xin was most afraid of mobilizing the crowd, and if the factory used such a big ostentation to pick them up, he might not come.Having said that, the factory leaders gave up on this idea.I also called to thank him in person, and made an appointment to come at nine o'clock in the morning the next day when the work was completed.There are also cars in the research institute, so the people in the institute can drive here by themselves.
Early in the morning, Yin Congnan arrived at the research institute first, and then came to the factory with the leaders and colleagues of the institute.At this time, he was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, and Xin Zhihong and another colleague were in the back row.
In the middle of their chat, Xin Zhihong suddenly said, "Xiao Nan, I heard from Secretary Wu about the Ye Kai you mentioned last time."
It seems that Xin Zhihong found out about asking Secretary Wu, "Secretary Wu helped me with the process of applying for a patent for an invention, and the inventor is Ye Kai."
Xin Zhihong smiled and said, "Secretary Wu also said that you wrote all the materials by yourself."
"Yes. I think his invention is quite interesting, so I wrote it."
"Then why didn't the inventor write it himself?" asked the colleague next to him.
Yin Congnan looked in the rearview mirror, and Xin Zhihong probably had the same question.He didn't know how to explain it to two people who were not familiar with Ye Kai, so he simply said, "This is my idea, so I just helped him."
"Xiao Yin, you are really warm-hearted." The colleague said.
Only Yin Congnan knew that his warm-heartedness had really posted someone's cold ass once.
He looked up at the road, and the driver turned a corner, "It's just ahead."
The gate of the Light Industry Machinery Factory is next to the next intersection.Ten minutes to nine o'clock, Ma Guosheng and Li Han were already waiting at the door.Compared with the last time they greeted Yin Congnan, the formation this time could only be more grand.Not only because the leaders of other units came, but also because they are the best in the industry and the best researchers in the country's light industrial machinery.
Most of the workers also came in advance, and people from other workshops also came to join in the fun to see what this machine looks like.
Ye Kai was the last to leave yesterday, and almost the first to come today.He stepped on the beam under the shelf and looked up at the final circulating filter residue system.The exterior of the machine has not been sprayed with paint, it is the color of metal, and every part is perfectly matched, including riveted parts and welded parts, which are very fine.Even if you can't see the internal structure now, even people who don't understand machinery can imagine that this must be a high-quality machine only through the beautiful lines and sophisticated production.It contains the wisdom of designers and manufacturers, and is the crystallization of everyone's joint efforts.
Ye Kai thanked Gao Gong very much.It was Gao Gong who specially asked him to come over yesterday at the last stage that was about to be completed, and did the last part of the riveting.
From beginning to end, Ye Kai's wish was fulfilled.
He knew that although Gao Gong was considered careful among the workers, he might not be able to be considerate to this extent.This must be Yin Congnan's idea.After finishing the riveting, he saw Yin Congnan standing aside. They looked at each other, and Ye Kai saw the hidden smile in his eyes behind his glasses.
Zhao Yongbao ran to Ye Kai and said with a silly smile, "Ye Kai, I really have to thank you. If you hadn't agreed to transfer, I really wouldn't have had the chance to do this project. It's just a pity. I'm not very smart, so I can do everything." It's over, I didn't figure out what's going on with this system." Zhao Yongbao curled his lips, as if disappointed in himself.
Ye Kai put his shoulders on his shoulders and pointed to the machine in front of him, "It's not surprising that you can't figure it out. We're not in the design business. If you weld the welds on it strong and beautiful, the success of this machine depends on you." A credit."
"Then I promise, the weld bead coming out of my hand is fine. I'm ready to take the third-level worker exam."
Both of them laughed.
There was movement at the door, and someone said that the leader of the research institute had arrived.
People in the workshop ran out one after another, and Ye Kai, as always, was there to join in the fun.
Outside, Ma Guosheng and Li Han warmly greeted the leaders of the research institute who came to investigate.Several leaders have met on various occasions before. Although they are not acquaintances with many contacts, they are old acquaintances.Several people were very cordial when they met.
On behalf of the whole factory, the leaders of the factory thanked the leaders and researchers of the research institute for coming to guide the work. The leaders of the research institute also expressed their surprise that the factory was fully engaged in production and the project was completed in such a short period of time.They introduced the casual people around them to each other, and the factory leader praised Yin Congnan from head to toe again.
Xin Zhihong said, "You two are too much, don't worry too much if he has any problems, just ask me, I will criticize him!"
"No, no, it's too late for us to thank Comrade Xiao Yin!"
Several people laughed, and the leader of the factory led the people from the research institute to the riveting and welding workshop.
When the workers in the workshop saw the leaders coming, they automatically gathered in the center of the workshop. Wang Dong and Jia Peng also took their seats early, holding hands in front of them, waiting to welcome the leaders.
The factory leader invited people from the research institute to the workshop, and as soon as they entered the gate, there was warm applause in the workshop.The completed machine was beside everyone, and the people in the research institute couldn't help but be attracted by this machine.Yin Congnan also looked over, and he immediately saw Ye Kai standing on the periphery of the crowd, under the machine.Wearing overalls and gloves, he looked this way with expectant eyes, met Yin Congnan's eyes, and nodded slightly.
Yin Congnan smiled. He knew that Ye Kai was also looking forward to the evaluation of this machine by the staff of the research institute.
After getting to know the people in the workshop, especially the project leaders Gao Gong and Zhao Gong, Liao Mingyan, secretary of the institute, said, “Our industrial development has indeed stagnated for a while, but we have decades of experience and wisdom from the masters. , and there are active, studious and tenacious young people, some are willing to lead, some are willing to learn, we will surely catch up soon.” After he finished speaking, he pointed to the few researchers who followed him, “We must also work hard , from the perspective of science and technology, to promote production."
After listening to Liao Mingyan's words, everyone applauded again.
Xin Zhihong took a step forward and got closer to the machine. His voice was not loud, but Yin Congnan beside him could hear him clearly. He said, "The finished product is exactly as I imagined at that time."
Yin Congnan smiled and said, "Yes, exactly."
"Even a little more subtle."
"It will look better after spraying."
Xin Zhihong nodded, "Go up and have a look."
Yin Congnan took the blueprint and followed Xin Zhihong to the shelf.Behind the factory director Li Han, Gao Gong, and a researcher also went up together.
"When we get there for installation, we still need someone to go."
"I wrote the instructions very clearly and translated them into English."
Xin Zhihong nodded, "Then there's no need to mobilize the crowd. We'll just send a few technicians over there. Does the factory also have a few people?"
Li Han said, "We will send Li Gong, he also participated in the design, and he is the youngest engineer in our factory."
Xin Zhihong said, "The engineers in the factory have worked hard. We will arrange all the itinerary plans."
Yin Congnan took the manual again, and told Xin Zhihong about the plan for the follow-up installation and docking, and even some after-sales maintenance issues.
He thought very comprehensively, and Xin Zhihong was also very satisfied.
After Xin Zhihong came down, two groups of people went up to look at the machine.
Ye Kai has been below, watching them inspect the machine, listening to their comments with cocked ears, although not every word and sentence can be heard clearly, but combined with their expressions, Ye Kai knows that the leaders of these research institutes also recognize them work.
Everyone looked at the machine in turn. When the leaders of the two sides were exchanging opinions, Yin Congnan quietly walked over to Ye Kai.
"Why don't you accompany the leader?" Ye Kai was a little surprised.
"They still have to talk for a while, I'll come to you to hide here." Yin Congnan looked around, "You really know how to find a place."
Ye Kai was in a good mood, wanted to laugh a little, scratched his head, "The leader won't be able to find you in a while."
Then the two stopped talking, looking at the lively crowd a few meters away from them.
In front of the steel machine, the crowd looks a bit small, but this steel is created from scratch by these small people.It was technicians like Yin Congnan who drew the drawings with straight lines and curves, and workers like Ye Kai who used nails, rivets, and welds to make them. Their strength is stronger than steel.
Yin Congnan felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, and he thought Ye Kai beside him must be the same, he could see it from his eyes.
The inspection was basically over, and the crowd gradually dispersed. Yin Congnan greeted Ye Kai and followed the leaders.
Before the leader left the workshop, Yin Congnan ran to Xin Zhihong with a flash of inspiration, and whispered to him, "Uncle Xin, I want you to see something."
"what?"
Yin Congnan was mysterious, so Xin Zhihong said to the others, "I'll discuss something with Xiaonan, you go and accompany the factory leaders first."
After dismissing the others, Yin Congnan led Xin Zhihong back to the riveting and welding workshop.
The workers in the workshop were also very puzzled, what was the director of the research institute doing sneaking around with Yin Congnan?
"Look at this." Yin Congnan led Xin Zhihong to a welding machine, and picked up the welding tongs.
"Isn't that welding pliers?"
Yin Congnan picked up another pair of welding pliers, "Look at this again."
"This..." Xin Zhihong held this strangely shaped object in his hand, showing the same expression as when Yin Congnan saw this object for the first time, "It's also a welding tongs."
"Yes, this is what I asked Secretary Wu to apply for a patent for."
"Ye Kai designed it?"
"Ah."
"It's a clever thing." Xin Zhihong played with it for a while, "What about others?"
Yin Congnan turned his head to look for him, only to see a tall and big figure dodging away in three or two steps.
Yin Congnan shook his head, "He... should be busy."
"This man is really interesting."
Yin Congnan thanked the female welder who showed them the welding machine, and led Xin Zhihong out of the workshop.
Originally, people who wanted to stay in the research institute had lunch in the factory, but Secretary Liao and Xin Zhihong felt that it would delay the work of the factory leaders, so they declined.Yin Congnan wanted to stay in the factory, so he sent Xin Zhihong to the factory gate.
"Uncle Xin, look at the situation in the factory. Is it possible to proceed with the introduction of new equipment?"
Xin Zhihong pondered for a moment and said, "I think the quality of the workers in the factory is very high, and there are several engineers. In terms of personnel, the conditions for introducing new equipment are very mature."
"Great!"
Xin Zhihong chuckled, "Don't be too happy, you. The introduction of new equipment is not a small matter for the factory, and it involves many problems. A set of imported equipment is several million. Can the factory see the benefits brought by the new equipment? It is the key to decide whether to introduce. The responsibility is heavy."
Yin Congnan nodded, he had indeed thought about these issues, that's why he didn't talk to the factory for a long time.
"Okay, Uncle Xin, I understand. I'll refine my thoughts." Yin Congnan was thinking, and saw Ye Kai coming out of the workshop with a lunch box in his eyes.
"Ye Kai!"
When Ye Kai heard the shout, he subconsciously stopped. When he turned around and saw Yin Congnan and the director of the research institute, it would be too timid to run again at this time.
Yin Congnan ran over, "Director Xin wants to see you."
"What are you seeing me for?"
"Director Xin is waiting, just say hello."
Ye Kai reluctantly followed him to Xin Zhihong, smiled awkwardly, "Director Xin."
"Such a beautiful young man! He is really smart and handsome. I heard Xiao Nan mention you several times."
Ye Kai glanced at Yin Congnan, his eyes were full of "Why are you so talkative".
Yin Congnan didn't mind at all, and watched them talk happily from the sidelines.
Xin Zhihong patted Ye Kai's arm, "Come on, young man, you have a future."
"Thank you, Director Xin."
Seeing the car waiting for him, Xin Zhihong waved to them and was about to get in the car, when he suddenly remembered to tell Yin Congnan, "Now I have time, if you are too busy to move, remember to tell me."
"I'm fine with myself."
Xin Zhihong's car drove to the gate of the factory, Yin Congnan turned around and bumped into Ye Kai beside him.
Ye Kai asked him, "Are you moving?"
The author says:
I am still the one asking for a message, I hope you can see my hands!
After Ma Guosheng and Li Han received the news, they happily started making plans to welcome them early.He also transferred two of the highest-level administrative vehicles in the factory, and said that he would personally pick up the two leaders at the gate of the research institute early in the morning.Yin Congnan said that Director Xin was most afraid of mobilizing the crowd, and if the factory used such a big ostentation to pick them up, he might not come.Having said that, the factory leaders gave up on this idea.I also called to thank him in person, and made an appointment to come at nine o'clock in the morning the next day when the work was completed.There are also cars in the research institute, so the people in the institute can drive here by themselves.
