Era: Winning since educated youth went to the countryside

As the project continues to advance, Zhou Ziwen and his team have achieved more and more results in the field of high-end precision machine tool research and development.

The successful application of new alloy materials not only laid a solid foundation for improving the performance of machine tools, but also brought more confidence and motivation to the entire team.

Soon after, the award was officially given.

The relevant national departments highly recognized their research results. They not only awarded them certificates of honor, but also allocated a generous scientific research bonus to support their subsequent research work.

The school also publicly commended Zhou Ziwen's team, praising them in front of all the teachers and students for winning honor for the school and making outstanding contributions to the development of the country's manufacturing industry.

For a time, Zhou Ziwen and his team became the focus of the campus. When walking on the campus, one could often hear their classmates praising and admiring them.

This award has greatly encouraged the team members and made everyone more motivated.

Zhou Ziwen organized a meeting of team members to seriously discuss the next development plan.

"This award is a recognition of us, but we cannot be complacent. We must make good use of this funding and the resources provided by the school to continue in-depth research to make our technology more perfect and have a wider range of applications."

Under his leadership, the team quickly devoted itself to new research work.

They began to cooperate with more companies to apply high-end precision machine tool technology to actual production.

In a cooperation project with a large machinery manufacturing company, Zhou Ziwen and his team members went deep into the production line and customized the machine tools according to the actual needs of the company.

They continuously optimize the performance of new alloy materials in different production environments to ensure that machine tools can operate stably and efficiently.

After several months of hard work, the modified machine tools were put into use, which greatly improved the company's production efficiency and significantly improved product quality, bringing considerable economic benefits to the company.

After the modified machine tools were put into use, the results far exceeded the company's expectations.

Not only has production efficiency increased by 40%, but product precision and consistency have also reached new heights, and the defective rate has been greatly reduced.

The company's top management praised the work of Zhou Ziwen's team and even took the initiative to propose increasing orders in the hope of further expanding the scope of cooperation.

However, by now, the research and development of new alloy materials has been almost completed.

After being busy for so long, Zhou Ziwen finally had some free time.

During this period, he didn't pay much attention to his factory, which was managed by Chen Shiying, Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang.

Now that the project has come to an end, he decided to go back to the factory to take a good look and learn about its latest situation.

Returning to the factory, Zhou Ziwen was delighted to see the workers busy in an orderly manner and the intelligent mechanical parts on the production line being produced continuously.

Chen Shiying came up to him and smiled as she reported on the factory's operations during this period: "Ziwen, the factory has developed quite well during your absence. We have expanded the production scale according to the previous plan, and the new employees have been trained almost completely, and now they can all start working skillfully. Moreover, our products have a better and better reputation in the market, and the order volume has been very stable."

Shen Zhaodi also came over and said mischievously, "You are finally back. Shiying and I have been very busy during this period. You have to reward us well."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. This time it's all thanks to you. After we're done with this, let's find some time to go out and relax together."

After a tour of the factory, Zhou Ziwen found that although the overall operation was good, there were also some minor problems. For example, as the number of orders increased, the supply of raw materials was occasionally delayed, which might affect the production schedule; in addition, some production equipment was used frequently and required regular maintenance and updates to ensure the stability of product quality.

He immediately called a meeting of management and technical personnel to discuss solutions.

"As for the supply of raw materials, we need to re-communicate with suppliers and sign more rigorous contracts to clarify delivery time and liability for breach of contract. At the same time, we also need to find more reliable suppliers to spread the risk. As for equipment maintenance, the technical department needs to develop a detailed maintenance plan, regularly inspect and maintain the equipment, and update seriously aged equipment if necessary. You can speak up if you have any ideas."

At the meeting, everyone expressed their opinions and put forward many practical suggestions.

After the meeting, Zhou Ziwen and his team members took quick action to implement various solutions.

After dealing with the factory matters, Zhou Ziwen felt a long-lost sense of relief.

He found that he had not spent enough time with his family for a long time.

During this period, he devoted himself to the research and development of high-end precision machine tools, spending almost all his energy in the laboratory and factory.

The support and understanding of his family are important motivations for him to persevere, but he also knows that he owes his family too much.

When he returned home, Zhou Ziwen saw the children playing happily in the yard, Chen Qiaoyi was sitting on a bench watching them with a smile, while Chen Shiying and Shen Zhaodi were busy in the kitchen preparing dinner.

At this moment, he felt extremely warm and became more determined to spend more time with his family.

"Dad, you're back!" When little Yueyue saw Zhou Ziwen, she ran over excitedly and threw herself into his arms.

"Dad, why did you come back so early today?" Xiao Xuanxuan also followed and asked curiously.

Zhou Ziwen picked up Xiao Yueyue, ruffled Xiao Xuanxuan's hair, and said with a smile: "Dad has finished his work recently, and will spend more time with you in the future."

When the children heard this, happy smiles appeared on their faces.

Chen Qiaoyi came over and looked at Zhou Ziwen tenderly: "I'm glad that the work is done smoothly. The children and I miss you."

Zhou Ziwen nodded, his heart filled with guilt and gratitude: "Thank you for your understanding and support. I have indeed neglected you during this period of time."

Chen Shiying poked her head out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "Don't just chat, come and help serve the food, it's getting cold."

The family sat around the dining table and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

The dining table was filled with laughter. Zhou Ziwen felt extremely happy as he listened to the children talking about interesting things that happened in school and kindergarten, and Chen Qiaoyi sharing details of her daily life.

After dinner, Zhou Ziwen suggested going for a walk in the park together.

He was holding little Ruiqi, with little Yueyue and little Xuanxuan following on his left and right. Chen Qiaoyi, Chen Shiying and Shen Zhaodi followed behind. The family was having a great time.

The night view in the park is beautiful, with the lights reflected on the lake, making the waves sparkle.

The children chased and played by the lake, while Zhou Ziwen and Chen Qiaoyi walked side by side, enjoying their rare time together. (End of this chapter)
