Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 287 A two-pronged approach

The reason why the teaching and research room was quiet was because they didn't know how to program or were not that proficient in it.

The programming statement written by Gu Weijun looked pretty decent, so no one refuted it. The academic scope of this era was still very pure.

Li Jixiang took a deep look at Gu Weijun, walked straight to the telephone in the middle of the teaching and research room, and shook the phone. After no one answered for a long time, he left a message, "You continue to calculate, I'll go find the person from the Department of Automatic Control and Electronic Computers." Director Zhong."

At this time, Li Jixiang looked up and saw Principal Jiang Nanxiang. He asked in surprise: "Principal, why are you here?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the teaching and research office turned their heads and focused their attention on Principal Jiang. Principal Jiang smiled and waved to everyone. He didn't talk about the class at all. Instead, he said humorously: "I heard that you are studying machine tool theory. If you forget about food and sleep, just come over and take a look."

Then he pointed at Factory Director Li and Chief Engineer Ye, "By the way, call over the comrades from the No. 1 Machine Tool Factory in Beijing. Let's listen together. Theory still needs to be connected with practice!"

"If you have an idea, our school factory can test it immediately."

"I feel relieved when I see everyone's fighting spirit is so high. Machine tools are the mother of industry. We at Tsinghua University will definitely develop first-class machine tools for the motherland and support national construction!"

"Wow!" The professors and teachers in the teaching and research room applauded in unison. They were so excited that they wanted to start processing and testing immediately.

Principal Jiang pressed his hands slightly, "Comrades, continue. I will ask the dining hall to deliver all the food at noon today, so I won't interrupt your thoughts. Gu Weijun, come here." After saying that, he waved to Gu Weijun.

Gu Weijun didn't believe what Principal Jiang just said, or didn't he fully believe that the principal who managed tens of thousands of teachers and students returned to the teaching and research office without any problems?

However, Gu Weijun had a strong psychological quality after all. He squeezed through the surrounding teachers with a smile and spoke first, "Principal, thank you for supporting us!"

Principal Jiang's face froze, and his eyes were serious behind his glasses. He glanced at Gu Weijun up and down, and said coldly: "Come out with me." Then he said to Factory Director Li next to him: "Director Li, let's talk outside together. ." Then he left the teaching and research office first.

After Professor Li Jixiang also left, he went straight to find Director Zhong of the Department of Electronic Computers.

Principal Jiang took Gu Weijun and Factory Manager Li a little away from the Mechanical Teaching and Research Office, and then asked Gu Weijun: "It seems that you have gained a lot from your overseas inspection this time!"

"How about it?"

"I just heard a teacher talk about whether you have confidence in three-coordinate CNC machine tools? How long will it take to build a prototype?"

"This is Director Li from the No. 1 Machine Tool Factory in Beijing. He already expressed his position when he came here and will fully cooperate with your research!"

Gu Weijun was shocked by Principal Jiang's quick writing. Was he so impatient? The machine tool not only involves the control of three-dimensional coordinates, but also the control of the mechanical arm, the stress relief of the machine tool body material, the hardness of the tool head, etc. How can it be so fast?

Moreover, I am the one who has the goods in the space. I can come up with a guide at any time to slowly guide the mechanical department to go on the right path. How can we get results without repeated trials by an individual or a team in years and months? ?

Or they just rely on pure fabrication to defraud funds.

After Gu Weijun pondered for a while, he considered his answer: "Principal, machine tools involve many aspects, including materials and CNC. In terms of materials, I will conduct experiments with Teacher Qian Weichang in Shougang, but in terms of CNC, the school's automation is needed. Professors and teachers support it!”

"The first is the miniaturization of integrated circuits, and the second is the programming of control programs."

Principal Jiang waved his hand, "Li Jixiang has already gone to find Zhong Shimo. I will talk to them and fully support the research on this project!"

"Just tell me, how long will it take for the results to be available?"

Seeing Principal Jiang's serious expression, Gu Weijun wondered in his mind, had something happened? It's just that I don't know if my level is not high enough. Otherwise, why would Principal Jiang be so concerned about the development of machine tools?

Gu Weijun frowned and pondered for a while, wondering how long it would take for several alloy materials to be successfully tested? Programming is a trivial matter, and there are ready-made ones in the space. The only problem is the integrated circuits supporting the CNC machine tools.

Gu Weijun cautiously stretched out three fingers and said, "Principal, if you don't consider the integrated circuit support, it will take three months!"

"Okay!" Principal Jiang said decisively, "I'll see your results in three months!"

After saying these words, Principal Jiang told Director Li that he had other work to do and asked him to contact Li Jixiang directly, and then returned to the principal's office.

In the principal's office, Principal Jiang took off his glasses, rubbed his eyebrows, stared at the red telephone on the table, sighed after a long time, and finally did not make the call. On the other side, when Li Jixiang quickly pulled Professor Zhong Shimo from the classroom, Gu Weijun was still outside the teaching and research office asking Director Li about the processing capabilities of the No. 1 Machine Tool Factory in Beijing?

The main product of Beijing No. 1 Machine Tool Factory is a universal milling machine, mainly for cutting, beveling and grooving, which is just suitable for processing automobile parts.

Gu Weijun used tree branches to roughly draw a few machine tool drawings on the ground. The light truck transmission bearings of the Beijing Second Automobile Plant required larger machine tools. Previously, they were rolled out manually little by little, and the efficiency was too low.

According to the original machine tools, the maximum output of cars may be only 1000 vehicles a year. However, the processing machine tools introduced by the country from France this time are all prepared for the Second Automobile Factory to be built in Shiyan, and are used to manufacture heavy-duty vehicles. It involves national defense.

If the Beijing Second Automobile Plant wants to achieve a breakthrough in light vehicle production, machine tools can only rely on domestic machine tool factories to redesign and manufacture machine tools. This can be regarded as another big gain for Gu Weijun from going abroad this time, and it has made up for his shortcomings.

From the design to large-scale manufacturing of Isuzu light trucks, it is inseparable from the matching of corresponding machine tools.

How else can we say that machine tools are the mother of industry?

Li Jixiang took Zhong Shimo and approached Gu Weijun and Factory Director Li. He lowered his head to look at the simple machine tool graphics drawn on the ground. "Huh?" Mr. Li Jixiang made a confused voice in his mouth, broke another branch from the tree, and lit it. The figure on the ground asked: "Classmate Gu Weijun, how did you come up with the principle of your machine tool?"

“The design is very exquisite!”

"Especially here!" Li Jixiang clicked on one of the structures. "Old Zhong, do you think this is the reserved location for centralized circuit boards?"

Zhong Shimo looked at it carefully and said "Huh" in doubt, "It's true!"

"And judging from the structure, this should be the way of West Germany?"

Then he asked Gu Weijun in confusion, "Little Gu, how come you know the path designed by West Germany? Who is your teacher? None of the teachers in our school studied in West Germany, right?"

Li Jixiang laughed "haha" and patted his old friend's arm, "Old Zhong, did you make a mistake?"

"This student Gu Weijun is a sophomore in our school, majoring in the Department of Engineering and Physics!"

"But Mr. Gu is usually easy to learn. He had no time to take classes before, and he also took a lot of professional courses in power and machinery."

Zhong Shimo's eyes lit up and he said jokingly: "Oh, you are still a great talent!"

Gu Weijun responded humbly and dare not!

Li Jixiang formally introduced Zhong Shimo to Gu Weijun and Director Li, an automation expert from MIT, the founder of automatic control and electronic computers at Tsinghua University, and the developer of the first generation of domestic computers!

However, this series of titles did not shock Gu Weijun. He had no choice but to meet too many outstanding people after time travel. Qian Xuesen has met them all. Qian Weichang, Wu Zhonghua and others are his teachers. No matter which one is world-class expert!

Director Li stood aside as if he were a primary school student. There was nothing he could do about it. The scumbag students of later generations would do this when they saw the top students.

Gu Weijun, Li Jixiang, Zhong Shimo and others were on the loess outside the teaching and research office, using tree branches to write and draw, and discussed the machine tool diagrams that had been laid on the ground before.

About an hour later, Zhong Shimo stood up with support on his waist. He stumbled a bit. Gu Weijun quickly held him back. Zhong Shimo laughed at himself and said, "This man is old and his legs and feet are no longer good!"

Then he replied sternly to Gu Weijun, "Classmate Gu, three months is not a big problem!"

"I will ask Teacher Wang Erqian to lead the students to make the integrated circuit you requested first, and then program it!"

"They are now developing our country's second-generation computers, which can just match your CNC machine tool work!"

Gu Weijun was overjoyed, this was the result of everyone adding fuel to the fire!

This is the benefit of having a university and teachers.

Let’s set a small goal first. The annual output of the car based on the Isuzu light truck will first reach 1 units!
