Era: Winning since educated youth went to the countryside

After a while, Professor Liu also hurried over.

As soon as Professor Liu walked into the laboratory, his eyes were attracted by the new alloy material that sparkled with metallic luster.

He walked quickly over and looked at the materials carefully, his eyes full of surprise and relief.

"It really worked! That's great, thank you all for your hard work!" Professor Liu said excitedly, with a slight tremor in his voice.

Zhou Ziwen hurried forward and reported to Professor Liu in detail the entire research and development process, from the difficulties encountered to the solutions proposed by the team members, and to the final breakthrough, without missing a single detail.

Professor Liu listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and spoke highly of the efforts and innovative spirit of the team members:
"You have done a great job! This is not only a technological breakthrough, but also a solid step forward in the development of my country's high-end precision machine tool field."

Then, Professor Liu looked at everyone's tired but excited faces and said with concern:
"Don't be too anxious to celebrate, go back and have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, we will discuss the next plan and how to better apply this achievement to the actual development of machine tools."

Everyone nodded. Although they were still immersed in the joy of success, they also knew that the next task would be equally arduous.

Early the next morning, Zhou Ziwen and his team members gathered in the conference room.

Professor Liu elaborated in detail on the initial idea of ​​applying new alloy materials to high-end precision machine tools, and conducted in-depth discussions on every link, from the adjustment of the overall design of the machine tool, to the compatibility test with other components, to the optimization of the production process.

Zhou Ziwen put forward many constructive suggestions based on his professional knowledge and R&D experience.

He suggested using new high-precision positioning technology during the assembly process of the machine tool to ensure that the ball screw and guide rail system can accurately cooperate with other components to further improve the accuracy and stability of the machine tool.

Sister Zhang also added: "When designing the appearance and structure of the machine tool, we can fully consider the characteristics of the new material, optimize the heat dissipation and protection design, and extend the service life of the machine tool."

Everyone was talking at once and the discussion in the conference room was heated.

After some in-depth communication, the team determined the next work direction and specific tasks.

In the following days, Zhou Ziwen led his team members to devote themselves to the research and development of high-end precision machine tools.

They work closely with the factory's technical backbone, stay in the production workshop for a whole day, and strictly control the processing and assembly of every component.

In order to ensure that the new alloy material can perform at its best in the actual machine tool, Zhou Ziwen personally supervises the cutting, processing and heat treatment processes of the material.

He knew very well that any tiny mistake could lead to the failure of the entire project.

Therefore, he requires team members to maintain a high level of concentration and a rigorous work attitude.

After countless tests and adjustments, the new alloy material was finally successfully applied to high-precision ball screw and guide rail systems.

During a critical test, the entire team watched the machine tool in action with great nervousness.

When the test results showed that the new material not only perfectly solved the precision problem, but also significantly improved the stability and service life of the machine tools, the entire workshop burst into cheers.

"Success! We succeeded!" Senior Brother Zhao slapped the machine tool excitedly, his eyes full of tears.

Zhou Ziwen couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He turned to look at his team members, his eyes full of pride: "Thanks for your hard work, we did it!"

Professor Liu also rushed to the scene. He looked at the test results and showed a satisfied smile on his face:
"This is a major breakthrough in my country's high-end precision machine tool field! Your dedication and hard work have finally paid off." Afterwards, Professor Liu organized a small celebration to commend the contributions of the team members.

He particularly praised Zhou Ziwen's leadership in the entire project:

“Mr. Zhou Ziwen, you have not only demonstrated outstanding technical capabilities, but also extraordinary talents in teamwork and project management. In the future, I believe you will be able to achieve greater success in the field of mechanical engineering.”

After the celebration, Zhou Ziwen did not indulge in the joy of success for too long.

He knows very well that this is only an important milestone in the research and development of high-end precision machine tools, and there is still a long way to go in the future.

He called the team together for a brief meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's achievement is the result of our joint efforts, but we must be clear that this is just the beginning."

"Next, we will further improve this technology and gradually promote it to more application scenarios."

The team members nodded in agreement.

Zhang suggested: “We can consider applying this technology to other types of machine tools, such as CNC milling machines and lathes, which can expand the impact of our technology.”

Zhao added: “At the same time, we need to conduct more durability and reliability tests to ensure that this technology can operate stably under various extreme conditions.”

Zhou Ziwen nodded in agreement: "That's right, next we will divide into several groups, each responsible for testing in different directions."

"Zhou Ming, you will be responsible for the durability and reliability tests; Zhang Ting, you will be responsible for the compatibility tests with other types of machine tools."

In the subsequent work, Professor Liu frequently communicated with relevant departments, reported project progress in a timely manner, and strived for more resources and support for the team.

With his rich industry experience and connections, he connected the team with more advanced testing equipment and invited top domestic mechanical experts to provide technical guidance to the team.

Under the guidance of experts, Zhou Ming's durability and reliability testing team optimized the testing plan to simulate complex working conditions that are closer to actual production.

During a high-intensity test simulating aviation parts processing, components made of new alloy materials showed signs of wear, and Zhou Ming immediately reported this to Zhou Ziwen and Professor Liu.

The team quickly organized a discussion and, based on Professor Liu's advice, improved the surface treatment process of the material, successfully improving the wear resistance of the components so that they could meet high-load and long-term working requirements.

When Zhang Ting was conducting compatibility tests with CNC milling machines, she encountered the problem that the control system was not compatible with the new alloy components.

After she reported the problem to Zhou Ziwen, Professor Liu contacted the expert team of the school's computer department to jointly solve the problem.

After multiple rounds of debugging and algorithm optimization, the system mismatch problem was successfully solved. After applying the new alloy material, the processing accuracy of the CNC milling machine was improved by 30% and the processing efficiency was also improved by 20%.

With the help of Professor Liu, Li Hua's cost control team established cooperation with a number of large material companies to jointly develop more economical material production processes.

After repeated experiments and improvements, a new smelting method was found, which reduced the cost by 25% while ensuring the material performance, greatly improving the market competitiveness of the technology. (End of this chapter)
