Chapter 1259: Nervous Emotions

When Li Feng returned to the steel rolling mill.

The people from the General Logistics Department have already started counting the various machines in the workshop.

Workshop one, workshop two, workshop three... In all the workshops, the machine tools that can still work after being powered on are counted and recorded in tables.

The slightly larger stamping machines, rolling mills, etc. were marked with special numbers and photographed. Whether it was the workers doing the work or the technicians who controlled the product quality, they all felt puzzled when they saw this scene.

"Deputy Director Li~!"

"Deputy Director Li, what's going on? Why are people from the army here to take statistics?"

The workshop directors of each workshop looked rather nervous. The Third Front construction had already begun gradually. They had also heard that some factories were producing skilled workers, and some were producing machinery.

Those who were full of gossip mistakenly believed that these mechanical equipment in the factory would be moved away after being counted.

"It's okay, let them do the counting. Everyone continue to work, continue to work, don't be affected~!"

Li Feng clapped his hands and calmed everyone down. He had no plans to announce the specific situation to the public now. Once the notice came down, the grassroots employees would naturally understand.

"Ouch, Deputy Director Li, if these machines are moved away, our production process will be interrupted~!"

Guo Dapiezi, who worked in a workshop, saw the workers who had gathered around him return to their jobs, pulled Li Feng aside, and looked rather anxious.

"After a while, the factory may take over some military tasks. All of you middle-level managers in the factory should be mentally prepared. Don't worry about other things. The machinery and equipment will not move, and the people will not move. But whether the tasks assigned by the superiors can be completed depends on you~!"

Leading a group of middle-level cadres and technical personnel from the workshop, they walked outside the workshop door. After everyone formed a circle, Li Feng briefly mentioned some of the things that he could talk about, as a way of giving the cadres a heads-up in advance.

"Military mission?"

This piece of news was very explosive. After all, the steel rolling mill had never done this before. It had some understanding of the military industry, but not much. As soon as it was announced, everyone started whispering to each other.

Not only the workshop directors but also the younger technicians had stunned expressions on their faces. After the initial surprise upon hearing the explosive news, they were actually eager to try.

Who says that we ordinary people don't value martial arts? Even though the technical requirements for military products are much more stringent than those for civilian use, you can see from the excitement in everyone's eyes that there is no fear at all.

"Everyone should actively cooperate with these officers of the General Logistics Department in whatever they want to do. This opportunity is hard to come by~!"

……

"The development of the steel mill has now entered a bottleneck period. The output can't be increased much further. The plant is so small and the electricity can only keep these machines running. Therefore, the era of working hard to increase output is over. The next step in the development of our steel mill is to develop in the direction of precision~!"

In the conference room of the steel rolling mill, middle and senior-level leaders gathered together, including technical personnel. Li Feng stood up and painted a grand blueprint for the future to everyone.

"What is precision? For civilian parts, for example, the flange with a diameter of 2 cm produced by our factory has a positive and negative error of 3-1 mm when forged in the second workshop. After being fine-machined by the fitter in the first workshop, the positive and negative error is controlled to about mm~!"

"After all, it is for civilian use, so the requirements are not high. As long as the screws can be pushed in and the sealing is good enough, it's fine. This is how it has been produced for so many years. There has been no feedback on its use, so we follow this standard. But it will definitely not work in the future~!"

Li Feng knocked on the table, the sound became unusually heavy. After looking around, he nodded slightly.

"The construction of the third line has already begun, and we don't know when it will end. Many steel rolling mills like ours will be built in the central and western regions in the future, and many of them may have already been put into production."

"Take Beijing for example. The steel mill in Shijingshan in the west is much bigger than ours. It has sufficient electricity supply. Whether they want to go west or north, they have sufficient land supply and can continue to expand their production scale~!"

"What will be the result? The backward steel industry will either merge with them or move westward or centrally. If we want to change, we must transform. Our factory must be able to process and manufacture products that others cannot, and others cannot replace us. Only then can we go from backward to advanced~!"

After walking around the conference room, Li Feng finally patted Chief Engineer Shen on the shoulder, because according to him, the technical department is under more pressure than the production department. From controlling production quality to improving production quality, there is a gap that the technical department needs to cross.

"But, with our factory's current mechanical equipment, we are unable to complete high-precision parts processing~!"

Shen Jia Shi's face looked a little ugly. Military products were no joke. If the quality was not up to standard and the mission could not be completed, it would be completely different from the previous delayed delivery of civilian products.

Although what Deputy Director Li said just now did make sense and even an educated person like him could understand it, the courage to turn the knife against oneself is not something that everyone can muster.

"That's not the case in the past. We haven't tried to improve production standards. Don't worry, Mr. Shen. The army can't give us difficult task targets right away. It's meaningless to do it as if we can't complete the task~!"

"Everything should be done step by step. You have to give it a try~!"

Li Feng took out a cigarette, opened it and threw it on the conference table. At this time, everyone in the conference room, even though the officers from the General Logistics Department were still checking outside, had no intention of deserting their post.

Their expressions were more solemn than each other. Military orders were as heavy as a mountain. People from the General Logistics Department came to check it out, and it seemed like they were serious about it, which made them all feel overwhelmed.

"Take it slow?"

Chief Engineer Shen picked up a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and his hand that was flicking the match was shaking a little, as if a storm was really about to come, and his voice sounded a little unconfident.

"It probably won't be too long. I've already been to Deputy Director Liu's place. If you and I don't take on some of the responsibilities, who will? The steel mill has already completed the historical mission entrusted to it by the country in the previous stage!"

"In the next stage, we can either swim upstream or go with the flow and become redundant. When the steel mill announces its dissolution, we can get together for the last time and look back on the past ten or twenty years, our days in the mill, and finally forget about it in everyone's mind."

Li Feng's topic undoubtedly made all the cadres feel heavier in their hearts. At this point, it was no longer a question of whether they could do it or not, but whether they still wanted to continue doing it.

The steel rolling mills must either transform and upgrade as Li Feng said, or be crushed under the wheels of history.

"Why us?"

Someone murmured to himself, leaning heavily on the back of his chair. He didn't want to accept either outcome, but the reality was that he had to make a choice.

"Thank goodness for us. I feel that we are still lucky. If we hadn't worked hard to increase production last year and restored our factory's image in the eyes of the higher authorities, everyone would have been transferred or provided support. We have already held a farewell banquet~!"

Li Feng flicked the ash from his cigarette, leaned his head back on the chair, looked up at the ceiling, and once again reminded everyone in the conference room to continue to increase their intensity. Giving up will not work.

"It's not so bad now. Our production volume proves that our factory has a good foundation. After eliminating the bad ones, we are now ready to go. We only have one chance. I think we should just work hard. How can we know if it works if we don't try it once?"

For Li Feng, switching to national defense and military industry was a do-or-die battle. He had insights and could point out the future development direction, but he could not do it alone. He also had to unify the thoughts of the cadres.

As for the grassroots employees, those who can keep up with the pace of progress will keep up, and for those who cannot, Li Feng does not mind sending them out for support. The vacant positions will naturally be replaced by college graduates. This is also the purpose of his greeting Guangqi in advance and keeping an eye on the colleges and universities.

As batches rotate, there will always be someone who can do it, someone who can persevere, and rely on the existing mechanical equipment to fight a turnaround.

"Let's do it. The deputy secretary is right. We have to do it to know whether we live or die. If we don't do it and just surrender, then we will be like a worthless person~!"

"Chief Engineer Shen, what do you mean?"

After Li Feng put out the ash, he looked at the technical experts in the factory. In front of everyone, the pressure was put on him.

"I will obey any decision made by the factory, but I will try to wait a little longer to see if the mechanical equipment below can be improved to increase the processing accuracy~!"

He threw the cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it out. Chief Engineer Shen was really forced into a desperate situation by Li Feng.

"All departments should actively rectify the problems found in this verification, and relevant personnel should do what they should do. No one should come out to make excuses when they are still unclear about the situation. Put your energy into the next step of work~!"
