Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Next, Mr. Wu and Minister Yang had a preliminary discussion on the report written by Li Feng. This was only on the general direction, but it was a major issue that could not be resolved in just one or two hours.

Therefore, in the time to come, Minister Yang will focus on Li Feng's report and then revise his work direction accordingly.

These were things that Li Feng was unaware of.

It's already August, and Li Feng is at the research institute annotating all the final data and explanations.

Li Feng did this so that those who would continue the research later could get started quickly without too much effort.

By this time, Li Feng had almost come to understand the idea that one generation plants trees so that another can enjoy the shade, so he felt that there was nothing wrong with what he was doing.

After Li Feng finished doing all this, he went to Professor Xiang's side.

Professor Xiang was conducting some research at that time.

When Professor Xiang saw Li Feng arrive, he couldn't help but smile and say something to Li Feng.

"Li Feng."

"What do you think of my new research project?"

After hearing Professor Xiang's words, Li Feng walked over to him. He was curious as to why Professor Xiang, who had just completed a project, was now researching a new topic.

Professor Xiang's research spirit is something Li Feng should learn from.

When Li Feng thought of this, he looked at the manuscript paper on Professor Xiang's desk.

Professor Xiang stood up and asked Li Feng to sit in his seat to watch.

Li Feng didn't stand on ceremony, so he sat down in Professor Xiang's seat and started looking at Professor Xiang's manuscript.

The manuscript by Professor Xiang mainly focuses on solutions to accuracy issues.

However, to solve these problems, we must rely on high-precision lathes. But Li Feng found some auxiliary methods in Professor Xiang's manuscript.

of course!

The measuring tools currently in use also require precision manufacturing.

Moreover, some ultra-high precision measuring tools still need to be imported.

So...

Professor Xiang's manuscript is quite useful.

After Li Feng finished reading Professor Xiang's manuscript, he placed it on the table. At this moment, Professor Xiang, seeing that Li Feng had finished reading his manuscript, couldn't help but ask him a question.

Do you think my methods will be useful?

After pondering for a while, Li Feng began to answer Professor Xiang.

"I believe there is still room for your idea to be realized."

"Currently, our high-precision measuring tools have not been widely adopted. In many factories, even a single factory may not have many high-precision measuring tools, and these tools sometimes lack the necessary maintenance."

"Therefore, there is some distortion in the measurement."

"This measuring tool is absolutely essential, just like the method described in your manuscript."

"But many factories do not yet have such conditions."

"I believe that in order to realize your method, the measuring tools need to be produced in large quantities now."

"Many factories now rely on imports for their measuring tools. Imported measuring tools are very expensive and difficult to popularize."

"This is also one of the reasons that restricts the development of our domestic machinery factories."

"Therefore, I suggest that if we want to improve the level of mechanical precision in our country, the widespread use of high-precision measuring tools is essential."

When Li Feng got to this point, he changed the subject and continued speaking to Professor Xiang.

"Regarding the production of high-precision measuring tools, I believe that our country now has the capability to do so."

"As long as we have the design drawings, we can manufacture this high-precision measuring tool."

"If these problems are solved, I think your idea should be fine." After listening to Li Feng's words, Professor Xiang thought that what Li Feng said made a lot of sense.

At this moment, he began to nod to Li Feng.

"What you said makes a very good point."

"If we want to improve the overall industrial capabilities of a country, the widespread availability of measuring tools is indeed very important."

"Buying measuring tools from abroad is just too expensive now."

"If we can achieve domestic production, the cost will be reduced a lot. If most of the workers in our domestic machinery factories can use high-precision measuring tools, the success rate of parts production will be greatly improved."

"This way, we can save a lot of materials."

When Professor Xiang got to this point, he turned to Li Feng and said something else.

“I know some people at our National Bureau of Metrology. If they can get their hands on the blueprints, then we can make a copy.”

Li Feng thought that what Professor Xiang said made a lot of sense.

Li Feng believes that foreign countries do not have strict management of some blueprints, and he also believes that even if the blueprints were given to our country, our country would not be able to manufacture them.

In that case, it would actually be possible to obtain the blueprints for high-precision measuring tools.

With the blueprints, it's entirely possible to manufacture this using current technology.

So Li Feng nodded directly to Professor Xiang.

"If that were possible, that would be the best."

"If we can't get the blueprints, then we can only disassemble it and then draw a copy."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Professor Xiang had his own thoughts, and then he nodded to Li Feng.

"Um!".

"It would be best to get the blueprints; if not, we can only do as you say."

When Professor Xiang got to this point, he thought about the project again.

So he asked Li Feng at that moment.

"The project is about to end."

"Do you have any comments on the school's arrangement of the courses you teach?"

"If you have any opinions, please tell me first."

"I'll discuss it with the school then."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng shook his head at Professor Xiang.

"I will follow the school's arrangements. If I attend four classes a week, there will be no problem at all."

"I can manage my work at my current company."

Professor Xiang was relieved after hearing Li Feng say there was no problem.

The school now wants Li Feng to share his experience with the students.

Because Li Feng had overseen the design and manufacture of industrial machine tools.

This is a very valuable experience, so the school hopes that Li Feng can pass on this experience to these students.

As for Professor Xiang, he had other things to do.

Most importantly, the school believes that Li Feng's age is similar to that of the school's students.

Perhaps Li Feng's teaching was more effective, and more importantly, the industrial machine tool was designed and overseen by Li Feng as the chief designer.

This is something no one can compare to.

Therefore, Li Feng is the most suitable candidate. He has now transitioned from a student at Tsinghua University to a teaching assistant. (End of Chapter)
