Chapter 252 Machinery Factory

In all honesty, Yao Zhesheng didn't want to let Hong Xu's gang of chemical dogs go just like that.However, as Zou Guoqing said, it is already like this, can we still remove those chemical pipelines?
So Yao Zhesheng was a little depressed.He is a mechanical student and is not very proficient in chemical equipment. This time, the bastards took advantage of the loophole.In the end, when he realized that this matter could only be revenged by a gentleman, he could only shake his head helplessly and admit it.

After memorizing the small ledger in his mind, Yao Zhesheng gathered his energy and began to follow Lao Zou to inspect the machinery factory.

The general machinery factory is one of the core departments of the kiln base.All imported and non-imported machine tools of the time-traveling forces are gathered here, and various mechanical products are produced every month.

Like the old state-owned factories of later generations, the general machinery factory set up by Chuanzhong in the kiln area is also complete.

In a large factory with more than 1000 employees, in addition to various workshops and warehouses, functional buildings such as administrative buildings, canteens, bathrooms, dormitory buildings, emergency rooms, and cultural classrooms are all indispensable.

Yao Zhesheng walked on the cement-paved factory road, and from time to time, workers wearing blue linen canvas uniforms and rattan helmets, pushing simple slide rails passed by.

The formal workshop content of the machinery factory is also very comprehensive.There are not only one, two, three machining workshops classified according to equipment, but also auxiliary workshops such as heat treatment and forging hammers.

Most of the "self-produced" equipment is in the first workshop, so this is a paradise for apprentices.Like many products of Rabbit in later generations, the so-called "self-produced", in fact, the core parts are still imported.

The most critical screw and stepping motor of the machine tool cannot be produced by Zhuozhong at present.In other words, the quality of those forcibly produced can only be hehe.Fortunately, the size of these two key items is not large, otherwise the machinery factory in the kiln area would not be able to open.

Some of the machine tools in the first workshop are "full self-produced machine tools" used to train apprentices.There are all kinds of metal scraps piled up next to these simple machine tools. The whole body is full of self-produced parts, and they have to be ravaged by apprentices every day.

The apprentices are of different ages.In the environment of frenzied immigration like Daguan, everything is in a state of barbaric growth, so there are many middle-aged and elderly apprentices with green scalps and wrinkled faces in any factory.

These people have a variety of occupations.Carpenters, blacksmiths, stonemasons, locksmiths, bamboo craftsmen... In short, all craftsmen who came here from the Ming Dynasty will get a chance to enter the factory for internship and selection.

Traditional craftsmen have never seen all kinds of machinery and equipment, so no one knows which positions they are suitable for before they are apprentices.The apprentices would first rotate through a number of positions, much like interns.After that, work is assigned according to their own interests and abilities shown in their studies.

This is what Yao Zhesheng and the others saw after they entered the first workshop: three generations of apprentices, old, middle-aged and young, were practicing around a few simple lathes, wearing yellow lacquer helmets, and the young indigenous "master" was teaching them.

The rest of the lathes in the first workshop are ordinary goods.These DIY products made by the industrialists are ugly in appearance, complete in variety, with all kinds of boring, milling, planing, and grinding. They lie there like two rows of black bears, making all kinds of strange barks from time to time.

These two rows of machine tools are the "agricultural machinery responsibility" that the time-traveling force is booming.Almost all machinery that does not require precision parts, including various agricultural machinery and small equipment such as brick machines, is currently produced by these lathes.

These machine tools have a uniform feature: the bed which consumes the most material is made of marble.

Marble has precise structure, uniform texture, good stability, high strength, high hardness, no rust, acid and alkali resistance, no magnetization, no deformation, and good wear resistance. It is an excellent material for machine tool beds.

As long as it is not a type of machine tool that requires a strong impact, in fact, marble can be used as the bed.And these marbles were all manually lifted from the central mountain range.

Site survey, logging, blasting, quarrying, and transporting Nanyang slaves. After paying the price of continuous death, huge pieces of marble will be carried out of the deep mountains by a group of dozens of slave workers with wooden poles and hemp ropes.

These marbles come to the kiln area, after being polished and shaped, they will be installed with other accessories to become a standard machine tool capable of producing parts.

The operators of the machine tools are all native Ming people.Without exception, these people are apprentices brought out by the industrialists during their early pioneering, and now they have become the backbone of their respective factories.

But having said that, the difficulty of training a machine tool operator is much easier than training a chemical dog.

The machining industry does not have high requirements for the quality of personnel.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were already many factories set up by people from various countries in Shanghai. Most of the workers here were illiterate.

After that, during the founding period of Rabbit, a large number of young workers called from the countryside into factories were actually illiterate or semi-literate. All the technical and cultural knowledge of these people was gradually replenished after entering the factory.

Traveling through the crowd is no exception here. Most of the newcomers who get it are also illiterate, even though these people originally relied on handicrafts for a living.The only difference here is that the machining industry is intuitive.After the initial "surprise", the newcomer can quickly understand the principle of cutting the workpiece with the cutter head.

Chemicals are different.Without basic theoretical knowledge to come to the bottom, it is impossible for these people to imagine various chemical reactions in the autoclave out of thin air.

That's why machinery factories are thriving now: the shortage of technicians isn't as big as in chemical factories.

Under the guidance of a master, an ordinary apprentice can usually cut a simple workpiece by himself in about half a month.As for those who have been learning knowledge from the backs of Crossing the crowd more than a year ago, some of them can already operate the CNC machine tools in the second workshop and input some processing programs into the host computer.

This is the threshold of the industry. Those who have been playing chemical industry for one year have not yet graduated from primary school.

The second workshop is the CNC workshop.Here are some imported CNC data lathes.The "localization rate" of this kind of lathe is quite low. Except for some cast iron and marble bases, most of the accessories including guide rails, spindles, lead screws, motors, and computer operating systems are imported.

And some of the "precision instruments" used in the crossing country today are produced by them.For example, most industrial gears, such as the old-fashioned wood gas engine that rumbles every day, is as stupid as a cow, and carries two iron stoves as the power source.
