Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle.

Chapter 21 Successful Experiment in Production Process Improvement
After listening to Director Chang’s story, Yang Ning also developed a sincere respect for these predecessors.

It's hard to imagine how much sacrifice they made to be able to win in the end under such conditions.

At this moment, Yang Ning felt an inexplicable passion in his heart. Looking at Director Chang, Yang Ning was full of admiration.

"It is precisely because of many predecessors like Director Chang and Director Kong that we can live a good life now."

"Heh~ We're still a long way from here. We're going to rely on you guys from now on. After all, due to our environment, we don't have the opportunity to learn more knowledge."

Director Chang also restrained his emotions at this time, and smiled at Yang Ning with an apologetic look: "Excuse me, let's get started."

"Okay!" At this moment Yang Ning felt a heavy sense of mission.

"Be gentle, this device is old but still usable. What if it breaks?"

"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and build the foundation. Look, Group Two has already started screwing in the screws. At the speed you Group Six are going, you can't even eat hot shit."

Once he started moving, Yang Ning finally felt the vigorous and time-sensitive work style of this era.

People in later generations all talk about the domestic roll, but if they come to this era, they will know what the real roll is.

But it is precisely because of this kind of success that we were able to complete in just a few decades a journey that others would have taken hundreds of years to complete, starting from scratch.

The workshop was filled with Director Chang's cursing, but the workers had long been accustomed to it and were working enthusiastically, as if Director Chang's cursing was their unique call.

Because it was just a modification of the production process, the mechanical equipment did not need to be changed, just the position of some equipment was moved, so it did not take much time to do it. After a few days of rush work, the transformation of the production process was finally completed on Friday.

During this period, Yang Ning stayed in the third workshop. Looking at the workers who were busy and passionate, he couldn't help but humming in a low voice the song of praise for the workers of this era.

We workers have the power,
It’s different when you put on work clothes.

Let the fire of youth burn out dreams,

Let love sail along the way.

……

This song, created by workers in 1947, was initially sung by only Yang Ning. As more and more people heard it, everyone joined in. The song became more and more powerful, and finally became an echo of the times.

"Good, good, this is the spirit of us workers."

As soon as the singing stopped, there was applause at the door of the workshop.

Yang Ning and his friends looked back and found that a lot of people had gathered at the door, all attracted by the singing from the third workshop.

During this period, the workers of the First Machinery Factory all knew that the Third Workshop was no longer engaged in production and was only working on improving the production process.

When the workers in other workshops first heard the news, they all sneered.

"We have been doing this for more than ten years since before the liberation. How could we not know how to produce and what the third workshop is doing?"

Judging from the noise coming out of the third workshop today, it should be finished. Let’s go and take a look.

Factory Director Kong, Secretary Hu and other leaders were also alarmed by the noise coming from the third workshop. They all knew that today was the day their production process transformation would be completed, so they came to see the situation after the transformation.

"Secretary Hu, Director Kong, all the leaders, are you here?"

When Director Chang saw such a big commotion, he quickly stood up.

"Haha~ Old Chang, the workers in your third workshop are very enthusiastic about their work!" Lin Youchang, the director of the first workshop, stood beside a group of leaders and teased Director Chang who was coming over. Director Lin was a man in his fifties, and he looked smart. Unlike Director Chang, whose smartness was hidden deep inside, Director Lin's smartness was already overflowing.

As he said this, his eyes were always looking around the situation in the third workshop. After noticing the brand new workshop and the well-organized layout of the machines, a trace of regret and inexplicable look appeared in his eyes. Then he glanced at Director Liu of the second workshop not far away, making his own calculations in his mind.

"Mr. Chang, have you finished the work?" Director Kong walked into the third workshop and nodded with satisfaction at the renovated workshop. Then he and a group of leaders began to tour the workshop.

Yang Ning followed the leaders and explained to them one by one the benefits of this change and why the machine should be placed here.

After a general review, Director Kong and Secretary Hu nodded, and then Director Kong asked: "After this change, how much can the production capacity of the third workshop be increased?"

This is the issue that leaders are most concerned about. If the rectification only looks good on the surface but does not help production at all, then it would be a waste of time.

"Is it a mule or a horse? Why don't we take it out for a walk?"

No matter how good the words are, it is not as good as seeing it with your own eyes. After all, no matter how good Yang Ning's words are, it is not as good as seeing it with your own eyes.

"Okay!" Secretary Hu glanced at Director Chang and asked, "Director Chang, can we give birth now?"

"no problem!"

Director Chang quickly replied.

"Well, let's see here how much the production efficiency can be improved compared to before?"

Secretary Hu looked at the people around him, and at a group of workers who were gathered in the third workshop to watch the excitement. After thinking it over, he decided not to chase them away.

After all, if the experiment in the third workshop is successful, the transformation of the production process should be promoted throughout the factory soon, so letting the workers take a look now can be considered as an early adaptation.

After all, it's time to get off work, and they can't control what the workers do after get off work, right?
(Director Kong: Yes, yes, yes. What’s wrong with letting the workers get off work 40 or 50 minutes earlier today to let them rest more?)

"power ups!"

"The power is on normally!"

"Turn on the switch!"

Rumble~
As the machines started up, the workers in the third workshop took up their respective posts according to Yang Ning's previous instructions.

As the loading is completed, machine tool parts gradually take shape on the production line, and the figures who used to run around carrying materials disappear.

During the period before getting off work, the third workshop has produced nearly a dozen machine tool parts.

Although the milling machine is mainly composed of seven parts (I will not introduce them in detail here)

But each component is made up of many parts.

According to the current efficiency, under normal circumstances, the monthly output of the third workshop can be increased from 11 units to 12 units. If we rush a little, units is not impossible.

If you calculate this way, after the transformation, the production efficiency has increased by more than 44%. If the first and second workshops are also transformed in this way, then their First Machinery Factory will be able to produce machine tools every year, which is equivalent to their factory having an additional production workshop's production capacity.

"My God, without increasing any manpower or material resources, we have increased the production capacity of a workshop. Xiao Yang is indeed a college student!"

Director Kong was already a little confused by the account in his mind, and he kept thanking Yang Ning while holding his hand.

　I would like to thank all the readers for their support and votes. I would like to especially thank Yilu Tianmeng for her monthly votes and the grandpas in the picture above.
