Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

After Professor Xiang finished speaking to Li Feng, he turned his gaze to Li Feng.

After sensing Professor Xiang's serious and earnest gaze, Li Feng understood Professor Xiang's determination. So, Li Feng solemnly nodded to Professor Xiang and replied.

"I'm always ready!"

Professor Xiang was very satisfied with Li Feng's answer.

After all, Professor Xiang had always valued Li Feng highly, and Li Feng was very talented in many areas, something he had always noticed.

Most importantly, Li Feng needs to be involved in the industrial mother machine project, and he needs to be heavily involved.

This involves many things.

Whether it's machine tool control systems, the design of industrial mother machines, or the manufacturing of industrial mother machines, Li Feng needs to grasp the direction.

Professor Xiang saw this very clearly.

He didn't see Li Feng clearly just because he was young; sometimes, youth and talent are indeed real.

In Professor Xiang's eyes, Li Feng belonged to the category of young and promising individuals.

At this moment, Professor Xiang nodded to Li Feng with satisfaction.

"That's good!"

"If you have such determination, then we will definitely be able to develop the industrial machine tool."

"Developing industrial mother machines will be of great help to both our machinery industry and the country."

"This way, our industrial strength can also reach a new level!"

"This is very important to us."

Li Feng was well aware of the changes that would occur in the country after the introduction of the mother machine, so he nodded earnestly to Professor Xiang and said...

"I will try my best!"

"I have some ideas about industrial machine tools now."

"I'd like to tell you something."

After Li Feng finished speaking, Professor Xiang's eyes lit up.

Because he didn't expect Li Feng to have some ideas so quickly, he hurriedly spoke to Li Feng.

"Then tell me quickly."

After Professor Xiang finished speaking, he looked around, then directly moved a stool for Li Feng, and then said to Li Feng.

"Please sit down and talk first."

Li Feng naturally did not refuse, so he sat down and pointed to the stool next to the professor. He then spoke to the professor.

"Please have a seat."

Professor Xiang nodded at this point, and then he sat down directly opposite Li Feng.

After Professor Xiang sat down, Li Feng began to explain his thoughts to him.

His meaning was simple: to directly build upon foreign industrial machine tools.

Since there are currently no domestic industrial machine tools available for reference, Li Feng proposed to refer only to data from foreign industrial machine tools.

In this regard, foreign countries have done a very good job of maintaining secrecy.

However, Li Feng also knew that it was impossible to directly obtain the machine tool data of foreign industrial mother machines, so he proposed to use the performance data of foreign industrial mother machines as a reference.

For example, the most precise machining can achieve a certain level of precision, and our own work can get infinitely close to or even exceed that level.

After hearing Li Feng's idea, Professor Xiang frowned.

Although this method is very simple, the amount of manpower and resources required to do so is unknown.

Moreover, this direction is also a problem.

Li Feng then spoke directly to the professor.

"Professor Xiang, you can rest assured about that!"

"As for the design, I already have a general idea in mind."

"Give me three months and I can produce the design drawings for the industrial machine tool."

Regarding the design of the industrial machine tool, Li Feng already had a design idea, thanks to the results brought to him by his mechanical expertise. Otherwise, even Li Feng would have found it difficult to complete the design of the industrial machine tool.

When Professor Xiang heard that Li Feng had produced the design drawings for an industrial machine tool in just three months, he was extremely surprised.

Although Li Feng had designed assembly lines before, industrial machine tools and assembly lines are completely different things.

So Professor Xiang said to Li Feng with a somewhat serious expression, "Li Feng!"

“We’ve invited many experts from the Ministry of Industry to work on this project together. Isn’t it too much of a stretch for you to design an industrial machine tool all by yourself?”

"After all, it seems too difficult for one person to design so many parts."

Li Feng thought about it for a moment and realized that if he were to design it all by himself, the workload would indeed be too great.

Moreover, the design drawings for industrial machine tools are not just a single main drawing, but also include other supporting drawings.

When Li Feng thought of this, he nodded directly to Professor Xiang.

"Professor Xiang, you are absolutely right!"

"Drawing so many pictures is really difficult for me!"

"I'll just break down the design process into parts then."

"I'll design the main image; you can decide how to allocate the rest."

"Professor Xiang, you are the main person in charge of this project."

He nodded to the professor.

"OK!".

"You design it first."

"Leave the rest to me."

At this moment, Professor Xiang suddenly remembered something, so he said to Li Feng.

"That's right!"

"The first batch of funds allocated to us by the Ministry of Industry has arrived."

"Make a list of the materials we need to buy now."

"I'll have someone buy it then."

"And another thing, how many deputies do you need?"

“There are a lot of things to do on this project, so if you try to do everything yourself, you’ll definitely be overwhelmed.”

Researching industrial machine tools is considered a scientific research project, and Li Feng is one of the project leaders.

Therefore, it is quite normal to assign Li Feng a few people.

When Li Feng thought of this, he nodded directly to Professor Xiang.

"OK!".

"Please assign me two assistants."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Professor Xiang asked Li Feng directly.

"How about we look for candidates directly in the Mechanical Engineering Department of Tsinghua University?"

"It doesn't matter what year they are in, so that they can have more learning opportunities."

Li Feng thought for a moment and then spoke directly to Professor Xiang.

"Alright!"

"My thinking might be a bit fast."

"How about you help me find a few quick-witted people?"

After Professor Xiang saw that Li Feng had agreed, he immediately smiled at Li Feng.

"Okay!"

"I'll find you a few quick-witted people to learn from."

After telling Professor Xiang about these things, Li Feng began to ask Professor Xiang about the arrangements for the rest of the day.

After a moment of contemplation, Professor Xiang began to answer Li Feng.

"Our Tsinghua University is on holiday starting today."

"However, our project has only just begun."

"There are many things to do, and we are still in the process of preparing, but the funds have been secured."

"So we need to do some preparations before the New Year." (End of Chapter)
