Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Time flies.
June arrived quickly.

Over the past few months, Li Feng and his team have been researching industrial machine tools.

After several months of research, Li Feng's team finally succeeded in developing this industrial machine tool.

A lot happened during this period.

This made Li Feng sigh at how fast time really flies.

Li Feng clearly felt that time was flying by as he continued his research day and night.

Summer arrived in the blink of an eye.

Li Feng had changed from wearing thick winter clothes to a shirt.

After the industrial machine tool was manufactured, Li Feng and Professor Xiang quickly reported the news to Minister Yang of the Ministry of Industry. Li Feng also archived the data, drawings and other documents of the industrial machine tool.

of course!

Currently, all information regarding industrial machine tools is classified as top secret.

Therefore, these matters can only be handled by Director Ling.

After listening to Li Feng and Professor Xiang's report, Minister Yang smiled and nodded to the two of them.

"That's great."

"This industrial machine has finally been built. I was quite surprised when Director Ling reported it to me yesterday!"

Then he asked Li Feng with some curiosity.

"Comrade Li Feng, the machine tool has been manufactured. Can we start producing lathes immediately?"

After hearing Minister Yang's words, Li Feng glanced at Professor Xiang behind him before nodding slightly to Minister Yang in front of him.

"Absolutely no problem."

"The purpose of industrial machine tools is to produce high-precision lathes."

"It exists precisely for this purpose."

After listening to Li Feng's words, Minister Yang nodded and then began to speak to Li Feng.

"Um!".

"You're right."

"You and Professor Xiang already know about the light industry production capacity, right?"

Li Feng and Professor Xiang nodded at the same time.

"learn.".

The two of them then simultaneously began to answer Minister Yang.

Minister Yang only began to speak to the two of them after he realized they knew about this matter.

"Director Ling should have already told you about the issue of light industry capacity."

"Currently, our light industry production lines are lacking many parts, and these parts require high precision. At present, we can only rely on imports to solve this problem."

"But this is not the final solution."

"This problem urgently needs to be solved."

"The prices of these parts are too high in foreign countries, and there is also the threat of an international embargo."

"The task of manufacturing high-precision parts for light industrial production lines has fallen to you."

"Project 116 is the best remedy for this problem."

"Mr. Wu made a special instruction."

When Li Feng heard Minister Yang mention Mr. Wu, he involuntarily tensed up.

After all, Li Feng knew that this was a person who would always be worthy of respect.

At this moment, Li Feng began to listen attentively to Minister Yang continue.

"The manufacturing of the industrial machine tool is complete, but the task of manufacturing high-precision lathes also needs to be undertaken by you, Professor Xiang, and your Project 116!"

When Minister Yang finished speaking, he looked at Li Feng and Professor Xiang.

"Instructions from Mr. Wu."

"Professor Xiang and you will continue to be in charge of Project 116."

"The next task is to manufacture the high-precision machine tool." Upon hearing this instruction from Mr. Wu, Professor Xiang and Li Feng immediately and earnestly replied to Minister Yang.

"No problem."

Manufacturing high-precision machine tools is no problem for Li Feng at all.

After all, the most important industrial mother machines and CNC machine tool control systems have already been developed; all that's left is to design the blueprints for high-precision machine tools.

This is much easier than building industrial machine tools.

And most importantly.

There is data available for reference when manufacturing high-precision CNC lathes.

Once high-precision CNC machine tools are produced, the problem of high-precision parts for assembly lines needed by light industry will be easily solved.

If this problem can be solved, it will make Li Feng proud.

After all, I hope to contribute to the country.

Therefore, Li Feng had absolutely no complaints about this.

Minister Yang immediately expressed his approval of the successful development of the industrial machine tool.

"To celebrate the development of the industrial machine tool, the ministry will hold a celebration party for you in a few days."

"At that time, I will announce the latest arrangements made for you by your superiors."

Li Feng and Professor Xiang naturally had no objection to this.

After all, this is to celebrate the successful development of the industrial mother machine, which also means that China's industry is not being held back by foreign countries in certain areas.

This is something to be happy about.

Therefore, both of them agreed with this.

Next

After discussing some matters with the two men, Minister Yang's secretary led them out of his office.

After the two left Minister Yang's office, the secretary arranged for a car to take them back to the research institute of Project 116, which is located north of Tsinghua University.

Back at the project site, the two began discussing the design of a high-precision CNC lathe.

The design of high-precision CNC is definitely different from that of industrial machine tools.

CNC machine tools are used to solve the problem of machining complex, precise, small-batch, and multi-variety parts.

Industrial machine tools, on the other hand, are equipment used to manufacture machines and machinery.

There is a clear difference.

The day passed quickly.

After finishing dinner, Li Feng went back to his dormitory to rest.

Li Feng, who was resting in his dormitory, was thinking about what to do after he finished designing the high-precision lathe.

After all, in Li Feng's view, he seemed to have been temporarily assigned to Project 116.

So he didn't actually know that he wouldn't stay here in the future.

Maybe I'll go back to the ceramics factory after I graduate.

Li Feng thought about many things afterward. The long journey made him sleepy, and he soon fell asleep.

The next day
At the work meeting, Li Feng told Professor Xiang about the department's plan to hold a celebration meeting here.

He also told the professor that there would be new work arrangements.

The people present were discussing what their next task would be; they had all been transferred from various units, and some were even students.

So they were all very curious about it.

However, neither Li Feng nor Professor Xiang revealed what their next task would be.

After all, both Li Feng and Professor Xiang knew that some things were not suitable for them to announce, so they both chose not to say anything.

After Li Feng announced this to Professor Xiang, he began his daily routine.

Li Feng is now becoming more and more accustomed to the management arrangements.

This is likely largely due to Li Feng becoming the head of Project 116.

At this point, Li Feng was primarily acting as a manager in this project. (End of Chapter)
