Siheyuan, the opening gun is aimed at Yi Zhonghai

Zhou Zheng's face quickly returned to normal, and he smiled and said, "Okay, this machine is very safe to operate. Uncle Yang, you can try it out, and the two deputy factory managers can also try it out."

Director Yang didn't say anything. He remembered the steps of Zhou Zheng's demonstration very clearly.

With the awareness of an eighth-level fitter, Director Yang operated very calmly and looked very capable.

He first picked out a simple sample from the sample basket, fixed the sample in the machine according to the steps demonstrated by Zhou Zheng, and then added a piece of steel of appropriate size to the feed port.

Then he carefully checked whether there was anything missing before starting the machine.

When the machine started up, there was a slight humming sound.

You can see the precise mechanical structure moving driven by the gears.

The piece of steel gradually takes shape like laser engraving. When the outline of the part gradually appears, the baffle of the processing room flips up and the entire part is swallowed up by the machine.

Then a "pneumatic sound" was heard from the machine, and the baffle of the processing room slowly rose up.

At this point, the parts are considered to be processed.

The gears rotate, and the tray in the processing room is pushed out of the warehouse, and then slightly tilted. In this way, the parts fall into the finished product collection device, travel around with the conveyor belt, and are sent to the machine's outlet.

Director Yang shut down the machine and took out the parts impatiently.

He felt the temperature from the parts and it was not hot. Then he understood why the parts had to travel around the conveyor belt. What an ingenious design.

If the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill can introduce this kind of equipment, then...the production capacity will at least quadruple.

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

The steel rolling mill is about to rise!

Before even taking the measurement, he excitedly grabbed Zhou Zheng's hand.

"Zhou, this, this, this machine must be sold to our Red Star Steel Mill. You don't know, this kind of equipment is so important to our steel mill. Nothing is more important to the steel mill than this machine. With it, I believe that all the workers in the Red Star Steel Mill will be level 8 workers in the future."

Zhou Zheng looked at Director Yang with a smile.

To be honest, Zhou Zheng would be very willing if it could bring technological progress to the country.

However...this machine cannot be sold to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill yet.

Because this machine was just produced two days ago, and there is only one. Although Zhou Zheng's research institute belongs to an individual, it is supported by the National Academy of Sciences, so the institute's results should first be handed over to the Academy of Sciences and then to the country.

There is no such thing as selling privately.

"Uncle Yang, I know you are in a hurry, but please don't be in a hurry!"

"Let me explain..."

Then he briefly explained the problem to Director Yang, without going into too much detail, as long as the general idea was conveyed.

After listening to Zhou Zheng's explanation, Director Yang finally calmed down.

But he is like an old child.

"Well, that's true, but I still feel bad. No, I have to process another part. No, two parts. This machine is incredible. This is the charm of machinery."

Zhou Zheng didn't stop him.

Director Yang took out another slightly more complicated sample from the sample basket.

This time, he operated more carefully and moved slower, as if he was enjoying the processing process.

As the machine starts, the part slowly takes shape on the workbench.

The same thing happened: they were swallowed by the partition, the same "pneumatic sound effect", the same thing happened: they traveled around the conveyor belt, and finally the parts were delivered back to Yang Chang.

He excitedly took off the parts and exclaimed, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, this is incredible. I originally thought that such a complex part would be a little difficult for it, but I never thought that it would take the same amount of time, almost the same amount of time. Do you know what this means? This means that there is no difference between ordinary parts and complex parts. The production efficiency has increased by two times, but it is still an underestimate of this equipment. In my opinion, it should be at least three times."

Zhou Zheng smiled lightly and said calmly: "Uncle Yang, don't guess. We have already done experiments. Compared with mature eighth-level workers, for the same parts, its efficiency is five times that of eighth-level workers, which means it is 5% more efficient."

Director Yang suddenly grabbed Zhou Zheng and said anxiously, "What are you waiting for? Report this achievement to the Academy of Sciences immediately. You know, every minute we waste here is a huge loss to the country. This machine plays a pivotal role in the parts processing of the steel industry. It is at least 10 years ahead of the world... no, 20 years."

Zhou Zheng reluctantly pulled his hand out of Director Yang's hand.

"Uncle Yang, I told you not to be anxious, why are you always in such a hurry?"

"In fact, before you arrived, our institute had already handed over the results of this machine to the Academy of Sciences, and we are just waiting for them to come and inspect it. I believe that it won't be long before the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill will be able to get a piece of this equipment."

Director Yang's face changed. "What? How can we only get one machine? How can this be possible?"

"Zhou, you have to know that our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is one of the largest mills in the country. How can we use just one piece of equipment? We need at least five of these machines."

Zhou Zheng curled the corners of his mouth.

"Uncle Yang, I'm just making an analogy. After the equipment is handed over, it's not our institute that will produce it, and I can't decide. You have to talk to Minister Liu about this. Uncle Yang, please don't say that I don't take care of you. You are the first to be notified of this news. As for how much equipment you can get, it depends on how you talk to Minister Liu. I believe you can convince Minister Liu."

Minister Liu is the big leader in the original drama.

In 1961, Zhou Zheng was assigned to go to Hong Kong to obtain agricultural machinery production information. After Zhou Zheng retrieved the information, he devoted himself to the production of agricultural machinery.

Over the years, through research on the information Zhou Zheng brought back, a lot of advanced agricultural production equipment has been produced at the national level. It can be said that the agricultural machinery of the production cooperatives is changing every year.

Deep plowing, soil turning, ridge making, fertilizing, weeding, harvesting...

The pilot project in Sijiu City almost achieved mechanized production.

The rotary tillage depth of agricultural machinery is at least 15 centimeters deeper than that of cattle plowing, which allows the fertility of the land to be fully developed. Rotating the soil makes the soil loose, which is more conducive to the rooting and growth of crops. Mechanical ridge making is more standardized, so that the gaps between crops are standardized, and the crops can get better fertility, better water, and better sunlight. Agricultural machinery fertilization is more even, and there will be no shortage of fertilizer, too little fertilizer, or too much fertilizer. The survival rate of crop seedlings is significantly improved. Agricultural machinery weeding is more thorough, and mechanical harvesting is more convenient...

In short, with the repeated replacement of agricultural machinery, the grain output of the pilot land around Sijiu City is getting higher year by year.

Moreover, this trend is radiating to further places. I believe that in a few years, there will no longer be a situation where people don’t have enough food to eat.

Now that agricultural machinery production is on the right track, Minister Liu can also free up time to perform other tasks.

Maybe it's just a coincidence.

This time, it was this old leader who contacted Zhou Zheng Institute.
