The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 104 Drawing a pie

Lao Ma secretly thought that something was wrong. Now the steel mill didn’t want their gears, but they needed the rolled steel plates from the steel mill. The offense and defense were different.

"Li Huaide, although you don't want the gears anymore, you can't change your mind about rolling the steel plates." Old Ma said anxiously, "We are waiting for the rice to cook now, and rolling the steel plates is the top priority."

Li Huaide knocked on the table: "I can't help it. We exchanged unplanned materials, which is in accordance with the rules, but we don't need to exchange now. You can't pay me, this is unacceptable."

"There will always be a way." Lao Ma thought for a while and said, "I will go to your factory today and we will discuss it carefully."

After hanging up the phone, Li Huaide said proudly: "I'll let you get me drunk. When you come to our factory, I can make you stand up straight. Then I will stop drinking from now on."

Li Huaide put his hands behind his back and said to his secretary, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll go to Workshop 3 to see what new treasure the Technical Department has made for me this time."

When we arrived at the third workshop, we could see that the workshop was clearly divided. After some adjustments, gear production was concentrated in one corner, and everyone was working hard.

Director Zhou saw Li Huaide walking into the workshop with his hands behind his back, and immediately walked out of his office: "Is the factory director here to inspect the work?"

"Your workshop has done a great job on the gear task. I have to come and take a look."

"Hi." Director Zhou said with a smile, "If it weren't for Engineer Liu's help, our workshop three would definitely be in trouble this time."

"Take me to see it."

Director Zhou took Li Huaide to the most skilled machine tool and watched the worker operate the machine skillfully. In a short while, a product that was visibly qualified was produced.

"So fast." Li Huaide was shocked and asked, "What level of worker is this young man?"

"Level 3 worker."

"A level 3 worker can produce so quickly."

Director Zhou nodded: "The speed of producing this gear has little to do with the worker's level. After all, it is not a precision component. The main thing is that he graduated from junior high school. It is said that his academic performance was relatively good at that time. Due to family reasons, he was unable to continue his studies. It is precisely because of his good academic performance that he mastered this very quickly."

Director Zhou pointed to the technicians around him and said, "Now most of the people who produce gears in this area have graduated from junior high school or above. Those who had good grades in school and good math grades can master this skill quickly."

Li Huaide nodded: "That's right, the teacher taught us to study hard and make progress every day, isn't this a model of studying hard?"

Li Huaide looked around: "Where is Mr. Liu?"

"Back to the office, although this dividing head can produce large and small gears very quickly, he still wants to design a machine tool specifically for producing gears." Director Zhou smiled and said, "Director, how can we be so lucky to have such a good engineer?"

Li Huaide smiled without saying anything. He was also feeling lucky. He was so lucky to have met such a lucky star. With such ability, he, Li Huaide, would have nothing to fear in the future.

Li Huaide nodded and said, "Since the efficiency of gear production in Workshop 3 is so high now, we will concentrate all the gear tasks of the whole factory on Workshop 3. The other workshops also have tasks to do and cannot be delayed. You go ahead and do your work. I will go see Engineer Liu."

Liu Hua lay on his desk, thinking about the tasks of the gear hobbing machine. The gear hobbing machine was not difficult, but it was difficult to realize automatic control. Forget about CNC machine tools, which require computer chips. Computers are in short supply now. Our domestically produced computers are all powered by electron tubes, the size of half a room, and there is no way they can be operated by CNC.

But if it is replaced with PLC, which is a programmable logic controller, it will be much simpler. Liu Hua can even make such a simple logic controller by hand. Even if it does not meet the requirements, he has an external plug-in to help.

PLC was only invented in the late 1960s. If Liu Hua were to create it now, it would definitely be the best in the world and could greatly promote the development of our country's industry.

Although the storm may be imminent, some things still need to be done. When the value of something far outweighs the risk, Liu Hua can also choose not to compromise.

Thinking of this, Liu Hua started drawing, first drawing the most basic underlying logic diagram, and then slowly adding functions upwards.

Li Huaide wandered over to the technical department and saw Liu Hua drawing at his desk. He felt so happy. As long as Liu Hua didn't stop making progress, Li Huaide's pace of progress would not stop either.

Li Huaide came closer to take a look and felt completely confused. Although he was a layman in mechanical design, he could tell the difference between mechanical drawings and drawings.

The drawing in front of him was definitely not a mechanical drawing. It looked a bit like a circuit diagram, but it was obviously different from the circuit diagrams he had seen before.

"Hua Zi." Li Huaide asked curiously, "What kind of blueprint did you draw this time? It doesn't look like a mechanical blueprint for our factory. Didn't I hear from Lao Zhou that you were going to design a machine that specializes in producing gears?"

Liu Hua nodded: "The dividing head can already meet the needs of our factory. My design this time is a bit ahead of its time. It is also my own idea, so I don't know whether it will succeed or not."

"fine."

Although Li Huaide was a little disappointed, he still said generously: "It's okay, you are brave enough to do your research, our steel mill will back you up. If it doesn't work out, don't I still have a superior? As long as your research is useful to our construction, you can do it boldly."

This is Li Huaide. No matter whether he is reluctant or not, he has to at least save face for his own people, so Liu Hua directly made a list.

"Ask the logistics department to help me see if I can purchase these things."

The list contained all the raw materials and tools that Liu Hua thought might be useful. Li Huaide simply took out a pen and signed the list.

"Send it to the logistics department yourself and let them purchase it."

The logistics manager was holding the list with his face almost falling to the ground, because the things on the list were known to him, but he didn't recognize them, and there were not many things he was familiar with.

"Engineer Liu, you are really giving me a hard time." The logistics director said with a bitter face, pointing at the list, "I've heard of things like soldering irons, but what are these? Are they what we need in our steel mill?"

Liu Hua laughed: "If you can get it to me, if my research is successful, you will definitely be a great contributor."

The logistics director shook his head: "How come you have become like Director Yang, only able to say nice things?"

Does Director Yang also like to make big promises? I have never heard of it. Liu Hua thought this thing was the patent of capitalists, but it turns out that it has a long history.
