78: Bringing his wife and children to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 71 Are you threatening me?

Ye Bingwen reminded him.

Gu Ming tested the remaining two as well. This time, he dared not try anything funny and followed the procedures meticulously.

The readings were 4.9 and 5.2 megohms respectively, both of which were within acceptable limits.

Master Li snorted.

"Didn't you just say 0.8? How come it became 5 after the standardization?"

Ma Li fell silent.

"Director Ma, Engineer Gu, the data is here."

Ye Bingwen pointed to the multimeter.

"All three units passed inspection. How should we write the inspection report for today?"

Ma Li did not answer the question.

This time he followed the procedure—fully discharged the battery, properly grounded it, and made temperature corrections after taking the readings.

The numbers on the multimeter jumped a few times before finally settling down.

5.6 megaohms.

It far exceeds the standard of two trillion euros.

Gu Ming's expression turned even uglier.

"There are two more."

He pulled Gu Ming aside and whispered a few words to him before walking back.

"That's all for today's work. We'll let you know the specific findings after we've compiled the materials."

"Director Ma, I suggest you write down today's testing process and results in the report truthfully."

"Because, from an external perspective, the official seal of the Provincial Department of Industry has legal effect."

"If your inaccurate conclusions are due to non-standard testing methods, it wouldn't be good for your organization, would it?"

Ma Li gave Ye Bingwen a deep look.

"Xiao Ye, are you threatening me?"

"It's not a threat, it's a friendly reminder."

Ye Bingwen met his gaze.

"We are all working for the country. The data is real, and the motor is good. That's the bottom line."

Ma Li didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

Gu Ming put the instrument back into the box and followed behind him.

After Gu Ming and Ma Li's jeep drove away, Ye Bingwen stood at the workshop entrance for a long time.

After finishing his cigarette, Master Li walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Xiao Ye, shall we test it again ourselves tonight?"

"Test".

Ye Bingwen said.

"Take out all the motors from the three most recent batches, five from each batch, and test them from start to finish."

"Wutai?"

Mr. Li was a little surprised.

"Isn't that a bit too much? It'll be tough for one night."

"Then let's stay up all night."

Ye Bingwen turned and walked into the workshop.

"Xiaojun, go and get the inventory list from the warehouse. Let's pick a few of the most representative ones."

Liu Xiaojun responded and ran back to the warehouse.

Mr. Li brought out all the testing equipment.

Ye Bingwen cleared a space in the center of the workshop, put three worktables together, and arranged the instruments and notebooks.

Liu Xiaojun ran back carrying a stack of lists.

"Five units will be randomly selected from each batch, and the first few units to be put into service will be selected."

Ye Bingwen said.

"Mix new and old batches for sampling, don't just sample the most recently made ones."

Following his instructions, Liu Xiaojun transported the devices one by one to the testing area using a trolley.

Mr. Li has already started connecting the wires.

This time, he took matters into his own hands, and his movements were much faster and more precise than Gu Ming's.

"Measure the insulation resistance first."

Ye Bingwen stood to the side, holding a notebook in his hand.

"Measure each device three times and take the average value."

Master Li started testing the first unit.

Discharge, connect wires, apply voltage, take reading, and correct.

The whole process was smooth and seamless.

"The first one, the first time, 5.3."

"The second time, 5.2."

"The third time, 5.4."

Ye Bingwen wrote down numbers in his notebook.

"An average of 5.3, far exceeding the 2 trillion ohm standard. Next one."

Liu Xiaojun was responsible for moving the motor and connecting the wires, Master Li was responsible for testing, and Ye Bingwen was responsible for recording.

The three worked together seamlessly, and the only sounds in the workshop were the operation of the equipment and the counting.

When we reached the seventh unit, we heard the sound of a bicycle coming from the factory gate.

Ye Bingwen looked up and saw Zheng Shuyun pushing her bicycle in, with a thermos hanging on the handlebars.

She was wearing a faded cotton-padded jacket, and her hair was disheveled by the wind.

"Why are you here?"

Ye Bingwen put down his notebook and walked over.

"I'm bringing you food."

Zheng Shuyun took the cloth bag from the back seat of the car.

"Where's An'an?"

"He's sitting in front of the bicycle."

Ye Bingwen looked down and saw that An'an was wrapped in Zheng Shuyun's coat and had already fallen asleep.

"Why did you bring her along? It's already dark and cold outside."

"She doesn't want to be home alone. As soon as I say I'm coming to see her father, she insists on coming with me."

Zheng Shuyun carried An'an out of the car, and An'an opened her eyes groggily.

"dad……"

Her voice was soft and gentle.

Ye Bingwen quickly took off his coat, took it, and hugged it to his chest.

An'an snuggled into his arms and fell asleep again.

Mr. Li walked over from the testing station.

"This child suffers because of the adults."

Liu Xiaojun stood to the side, grinning sheepishly.

"Sister-in-law, what kind of food did you bring?"

Zheng Shuyun opened the cloth bag, inside were a stack of enamel basins, a basin of stewed cabbage and tofu, a basin of cornbread, and a small dish of pickled vegetables.

The thermos contains hot millet porridge.

"You guys eat first, then we'll get back to work after the test."

Zheng Shuyun set the food on the worktable.

Master Li rubbed his hands together.

"You've come just in time, my stomach was growling."

The four people sat down around the worktable.

Ye Bingwen took a bite of the cornbread.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"I've already eaten at home."

Zheng Shuyun pushed the small dish of pickled vegetables towards him.

Master Li took a sip of porridge and sighed.

"Those two people today were really bullying us."

"They did it on purpose."

Ye Bingwen said.

"From the very beginning, they were here to force us to stop production."

"Why?"

Liu Xiaojun was puzzled.

"We haven't offended anyone."

"It's not that I offended anyone, it's that I blocked someone's way."

Ye Bingwen didn't say much, and lowered his head to drink his porridge.

Master Li didn't ask any more questions.

He had worked in factories for most of his life and had seen this kind of thing many times.

New factories are emerging, and old factories are envious. Some at the top want to get their hands on the profits, while others at the bottom want to share them.

"Xiao Ye, no matter what they do, just focus on mastering the technology. If you make good motors, you won't be afraid of anyone saying they're bad."

Ye Bingwen nodded.

After finishing their meal, Zheng Shuyun cleared away the dishes. An'an rubbed her eyes, climbed out of Ye Bingwen's arms, and looked around.

"Mother?"

"It's here."

Zheng Shuyun hugged her, and An'an rested on her shoulder.

Master Li and Liu Xiaojun returned to the testing station to continue their work.

Ye Bingwen followed with his notebook.

The remaining eight motors were tested one by one.

Insulation resistance, DC resistance, withstand voltage, no-load current, temperature rise, vibration.

Every piece of data is recorded in detail.

When he reached the thirteenth unit, Mr. Li stopped and looked at his logbook.
