Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 447, Soothing Emotions

"Quick, prepare for the next work-level test." Professor Wang shouted confidently.

As soon as he finished speaking, Professor Wu, who was over fifty years old, hugged a piece of steel blank and placed it on the lathe.

As Jiang Yan pressed the button, the machine began to rotate. It took more than ten minutes for the workpiece to take shape. They did not bother to measure the workpiece and proceed to the next level of testing.

Level [-] workpieces are basically high-level workpieces. In a factory, people who can independently produce level [-] workpieces can be called masters.

The higher-level workers of the seventh and eighth levels can not only be accomplished through hard work, but also require various factors. Otherwise, the seventh and eighth level workers are so rare.

Moreover, most workers cannot reach the level of Level [-] workers.

That is to say, no matter how hard they try, they can't process this part.

It was also a matter of effort. The fifth-level and sixth-level parts were produced. The old professors were so excited that tears filled their eyes. They all looked at the small parts infatuatedly, as if they were looking at the entire flower-growing industry. s future!
They carefully tested the formed parts with vernier calipers.

After the test, Professor Wang put down the vernier caliper and looked at the two parts on the table speechless for a long time.

When everyone felt that they were almost finished than me, they saw tears flowing from the corners of Professor Wang's eyes.

He spoke in a trembling voice: "Comrades, we succeeded."

When everyone in the workshop heard what he said, they were quiet for a moment, and then everyone cheered excitedly. The sound almost shook the roof of the experimental workshop.

When Jiang Yan took them to visit the experimental CNC machine tool, they didn't feel anything about it. It wasn't until they installed the CNC machine tool themselves that they realized how powerful it was.

Although their current CNC machine tool is still copying a cat, the fact that it can be produced shows the accuracy and feasibility of the drawing given by Jiang Yan.

While all the technicians were cheering, Jiang Yan noticed that the workers who had been observing had uneasy expressions.

"This machine tool is so advanced that we don't need to operate it manually at all." A bearded technician muttered in a low voice.

"Yes, it can work on its own. Will we still have work to do in the future?" Another middle-aged worker also sighed.

“What if all machine tools are upgraded to automatic in the future, where can ordinary workers like us go?!”

For a time, this worried mood spread among the workers. Some looked gloomy, some looked confused, and some frowned.

Their faces showed uncertainty and powerlessness about the future.

The machine tool in front of them had a greater impact on them than anyone else, as if their jobs were about to be destroyed.

Even the senior workers looked worried.They can make the part, but they can't make it any faster than the machine.

The time they spend processing one part is enough for this machine to process several.

For a moment, everyone was at a loss. The technology they were proud of before was worthless before this machine. There was confusion in their eyes.

Seeing the worried looks on the workers' faces, Jiang Yan was keenly aware of what was going on in their hearts.

Although this CNC machine tool can replace labor to a certain extent, it cannot completely replace it.

Moreover, there is still some way to go in mass production of CNC machine tools. Even if it can be produced, it is impossible for all factories in the country to use CNC machine tools. Labor is still the main force, at any time.

So he cleared his throat and said loudly: "Comrades, I understand your inner worries and your confusion. One thing I assure you is that even the emergence of CNC machine tools will not cause any comrade to lose his job."

When the workers heard this, they all showed doubts.

Everyone was not blind just now. The capabilities of the machine tools were obvious to all, but they did not believe Jiang Yan's deception.

At this time, an old worker with a beard said: "Mr. Jiang, we are not questioning you, but the facts are here. This machine tool is much easier to operate than us. The processing speed is fast and the quality is good. With the same training, "Hey, they are much better than us. Why do they need ordinary workers like us?" "Yes! Mr. Jiang,"

"Yes, that's right, machines are much stronger than us."

All the workers were busy discussing, and the scene was a bit out of control. Although they were angry, the look in their eyes was sad.

In this era, most workers and craftsmen believed in relying on craftsmanship to make a living, so many things would not be passed down easily.

Jiang Yan smiled slightly, stood on a box, and said in a kind and loud voice: "I understand your thoughts, it is true that you will have such worries for a while.

But I can tell you clearly that the emergence of CNC machine tools is definitely not to replace workers, but to free workers from boring heavy manual labor and lead a better life. "

"Mr. Jiang, we are not stupid. This machine tool can do our work for several hours in minutes. If you were the boss, what would you choose? Isn't this directly competing for our jobs?" A middle-aged male worker curled his lips. , with a look of disbelief.

"Everyone, please listen to me explain slowly." Jiang Yan waved his hand, "What the CNC machine tool produces are only parts. We can't rely on these parts to start assembly! This CNC machine tool is like a hen, and the parts are just chicks one by one. Only by putting them together It can only be used after it is assembled.”

"And, think about it, those who operate the machine tools need workers! Those who maintain the machine tools also need workers."

"The commander-in-chief has said that more people are more powerful. What's more, no matter how advanced the machine is, it is made by people. It cannot completely replace people."

Jiang Yan continued to explain: “We have a large population of flower growers, and everyone’s demand is also growing.

To meet such a huge demand, we need more efficient production, release more manpower, and carry out a social division of labor. "

The workers nodded in understanding, but still looked confused.

Jiang Yan decided to use more intuitive examples to convince them:
"Let me give another example, such as pork. Everyone hopes to eat more meat, right?"

"Eat meat?" When they heard about eating meat, the workers immediately became energetic.

“But raising pigs used to be very hard, and one person could raise very few pigs.

But if machines are used to help, one person can raise more pigs.

In this way, pork production will be greatly increased, and then we can all eat meat every day!"

"Oh~ It turns out that machines help us produce more things, so we can also enjoy a better life?" The workers suddenly realized.

"That's right, comrades!" Jiang Yan nodded with a smile, and then he said again: "The impact of CNC machine tools is amplified layer by layer.

It not only brings about an improvement in production efficiency, but also allows us to produce a variety of rich products and improve people's lives. "

"So comrades, this CNC machine tool will not take away your jobs. On the contrary, it will create more job opportunities and let us live a better life." Jiang Yan said earnestly.

Although most people still didn't understand Jiang Yan's words, they knew that this CNC machine tool could not replace them at all, and they calmed down.

Seeing the hope in the workers' eyes, he smiled and encouraged: "Comrades, this CNC machine tool is undoubtedly a technological revolution for us. But any advanced technology requires people to learn and use it. So I I hope everyone should not be afraid, actively accept new things, and work hard to learn new skills. As long as we continue to make progress, we will be able to adapt to the development of the times."

"Yes, Mr. Jiang is right. It's not just about learning new things, we just learn them."

"That's right, the worst we can do is start over from scratch."

"Yes, that's the truth."

"Yes! Cheer for our flower growers!"

For a time, the workers chanted slogans and the workshop was in full swing.
