Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 313, Machine Tool Drawings

Looking at the "uncle" in front of him who was ten years younger than him, and then at Zhou Ying next to him, he shuddered secretly.

If he continued thinking like this, Zhou Ying could become his granddaughter.

He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Instead, he smiled and asked, "Uncle, you used to work in a machine tool factory? Was it Beiyi Machine Tool? How long have you worked there?"

Hearing this, the old man sighed: "Yes! I worked at Beiyi Machine Tool for more than 20 years. In the 1990s, I opened a machine tool factory. Now I am retired and my son is running the business."

Wang Qingsong was surprised when he heard this: "You also opened a machine tool factory!"

I guess this old man's family is not simple.

You can’t just open a machine tool factory casually!

"Well, they just produce some old-fashioned machine tools and sell some other companies' products."

Wang Qingsong pondered for a while after hearing this.

He continued, "Uncle, I want to ask, if I want to buy some designs of ordinary machine tools from the 1960s and 1970s, can I buy them?"

Machine tools can be said to be half of the industry.

Machine tools are divided into three types: CNC machine tools, special-purpose machine tools and general machine tools.

Each machine tool is divided into many types.

The old man laughed: "Why do you want that? The design of ordinary machine tools is not very complicated. The materials of important parts are the same. For the same milling cutter, domestic ones need to be sharpened after using it a dozen or twenty times, and they need to be replaced every few months, while imported ones can be used for ten years. Sigh..."

Having said that he sighed.

Wang Qingsong frowned when he heard this. Although he had looked up the information, he only had a general idea.

The details are less clear.

"Is the gap so big? We can't produce it ourselves in China now?"

"It can be produced, but due to technical issues, the cost is very high if the batch is large. Many factories feel it is not cost-effective and would rather buy imported products."

The old man sighed and continued, "This is the market situation. If it's too expensive, it can't be sold. Without funds, there will be no research and development. If you fall behind one step, you will fall behind step by step."

Wang Qingsong also nodded.

Indeed!
You can’t do it without money. Wasn’t it because of poverty in the 1950s and 1960s?
He shook his head and didn't think about it, but asked: "Uncle, can I buy the designs of those machine tools I just mentioned? I only want to design, not produce, and don't need to consider patent issues, just for reference."

Hearing this, the old man looked at him strangely.

"What do you want that for?"

"Uncle, I need it, can you give me some? Uncle, if you can help me get some, you can pick any item in this store that is less than 100,000. This is a thank you, and the price can be calculated separately."

Wang Qingsong said directly.

Hearing this, the old man was surprised.

Then he regained his expression and said jokingly, "I take this seriously! Because if it is an ordinary machine tool you mentioned, it is just a simple design, including drawings and so on. It may be mysterious in the eyes of you laymen, but in our opinion, this kind of thing is easy to get."

After a pause, he continued, "There are several main issues. One is the patent issue. Even though you know how to do it, if you don't pay the patent fee, you are breaking the law. Another issue is the casting, that is, the material. The last one is money and technicians."

He was a little confused as to why Wang Qingsong wanted this.

All major machine tool factories have no shortage of these things, and it is useless for individuals to have them.

Wang Qingsong nodded.

He probably knew some of these.

Royalties?
There is no need to worry about this. In the 1950s and 1960s, when you got modern design drawings, you didn’t have to worry about patents.

I don’t have enough stuff!
And once he has these things, he won't have to worry about them anymore.

He had no way of doing anything about the castings and materials.

As for the last one, he didn't have to worry about money and technical personnel.

The country is short of money, but it is a big country after all, and technical personnel can also explore slowly.

Thinking of this, he smiled at the old man and said, "I know. I just want the designs of these machine tools, especially those from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s."

Why don’t you have a CNC machine tool or a machining center?
Because CNC machine tools have been in the world for more than ten years, and machining centers have also been in the past fifty years.

It began to be widely promoted in Europe and the United States in the 1960s and 1970s.

In fact, CNC machine tools were also studied in China in the 1960s and 1970s.

In the past, with the assistance of the Russians, the "Eighteen Arhats" machine tool factories and seven comprehensive machine tool research institutes were successively built and developed, and they became the production backbone of the machine tool industry at that time, laying a good foundation for the layout, production and management of the entire machine tool industry.

This can be called the golden period of development of the mainland machine tool industry in the past 60 years.

But after the Russians withdrew their experts.

Due to the weak basic theories of microelectronics and computers in my country, and the inadequate technologies of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic components, the development of CNC machine tools has been a rush, and has experienced three ups and downs. Ultimately, they could not be used in production due to unreliable performance.

If the technology of various components is not up to standard and this problem is not solved, it will be futile even if there are design drawings.

To put it simply, to use the words from the Internet, the industrial foundation is too weak.

Therefore, ordinary machine tools, especially ordinary high-precision machine tools, are what are most in short supply now.

As long as you have the drawings, you can do it. The rest is just a matter of materials.

Thinking of this, he slapped his head.

There's an idea in my head.

But this thought flashed through my mind and I missed the point.

"That's fine, but I won't take advantage of you. Can I pick one of the things you bid that's of equal value and exchange it for another? Those things are free, too. I'll have someone download a copy for you. Just give me an email address and I'll have someone send it to you."

The old man thought about it and agreed.

Anyway, these drawings are not a secret in the industry.

Wang Qingsong agreed with a smile: "Okay, pick whatever you want in the store! Zhou Ying, do you have a mailbox?"

"Have!"

Seeing this, Zhou Ying quickly took a piece of paper and wrote down her email address.

"Hey! I'm really taking advantage of you! I've seen this store and there are a lot of good things!"

The old man smiled.

I took the email, took a photo and sent it out.

Then he sent a voice message: "Xiao Wang, are you off work yet? If you have time, please help me..."

Explained it.

He put away his phone and smiled, "I'll have someone send you a copy of the information. You can have someone check it out when the time comes. As I said before, a lot of it requires patents and can't be used directly."

Wang Qingsong agreed upon seeing this.

Seeing this, the old man smiled and went to the hall.

Go straight to the cabinet worth one million.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying asked directly: "You really let him pick whatever he wants! You can buy those things at the machine tool factory!"

Wang Qingsong rolled his eyes: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

He didn't care.

All said and done.

But to him, a piece of porcelain is not as important as those machine tools.

Then the thought that had flashed through my mind before came to my mind.

casting?

casting?

Then he finally reacted.

Castings and materials, the same workbench made of pig iron and steel will definitely be different.

There are many types of steel.

There was another important factor that restricted the development of domestic machine tools in the 1960s: materials.

Castings are not made of iron.

He checked and found out that it was cast and needed to be formed in one go and then trimmed.

He can't solve the problem of castings, but he can buy them!
or……

Opening a machining factory in Hong Kong Island?
Then he shook his head and said that Hong Kong Island’s industry is also very backward now.

If a factory like this suddenly appears, it would be impossible not to thoroughly investigate it.

What is the right way to do it?

Confidential?

It seems that this cannot be done.

Shaking his head, he saw the old man go to another seat and bring over a bowl with a lid.

After returning to the original place, he smiled and said, "Pack it up for me! Can you make it cheaper?"

Wang Qingsong took a look.

This is a covered bowl.

The outer wall is painted with a peach tree with slanting branches, bright peach blossoms, and abundant peach fruits. Ganoderma lucidum grows under the tree, an auspicious deer looks back and responds to the magpie in the sky, and a pair of red bats fly beside it.

Turning to the bottom, there is a signature in two lines of regular script: "Yuqingtang Zhi".

The asking price is 11.

This is from the Daoguang period.

Emperor Daoguang was very fond of covered bowls, and a large number of these bowls are still in existence.

This is also what Zhou Ying wrote in her notes.

He put the things away and said with a smile, "Uncle, this is for you."

Seeing this, the old man picked up his mobile phone and scanned the code to pay.

He gave the money and smiled, "I don't have the habit of taking advantage. Keep the money. If Lao Liu hadn't told me that I could buy things from your store with my eyes closed, I wouldn't have decided so quickly."

Then he muttered, "Hurry up and pack it up, the treasure show is about to start. I have to go there! Don't worry, I will have someone send you the things you want."

Hearing him say this, Wang Qingsong was conflicted.

Thinking that the other party's family was in the machine tool business and there might be opportunities for contact in the future, I gave up.

More on that later.

"Okay then, thank you, old man."

Then he thought of something and asked, "Oh, sir, I forgot to ask, what's your name?"

"My surname is Gao." "Oh, Mr. Gao!"

Wang Qingsong called him by his name in a strange way.

As he was speaking, the phone rang.

This is Mr. Gao’s phone number.

The old man answered the phone and walked aside apologetically.

Talked for a while.

He came back again and said with a smile, "The stuff has been sent, but they said it takes up too much memory, so they sent it in batches. Please check it out."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "The treasure show is about to begin, do you want to go?"

When Wang Qingsong heard that the items had been sent, he quickly said, "Grandpa, you go ahead. We won't go this time. I'll go next time. By the way, Grandpa, please leave me your WeChat. I may need to buy a machine tool later."

Seeing this, the old man thought about it, smiled and agreed.

He scanned it, said hello and left.

After the people left, Zhou Ying asked, "Didn't you say you were going? Why aren't you going?"

Wang Qingsong turned around and said, "No, I have something more important to do. Didn't he say that the things have been sent over? So fast! Come on, open it and take a look."

Zhou Ying came to the computer and opened her email.

He smiled and said, "Of course it will be quick. He is the boss. He has to ask his subordinates if they have time. He has to get up in the middle of the night and do it quickly!"

I opened my computer and saw an email.

"It's quite big, more than two gigabytes!"

"open to take a look!"

Wang Qingsong urged.

After opening it, the first thing you see is an introduction to a product.

CA6140 (basic model) passed the national appraisal in April 1973 and was put into mass production in 4;
Type A, also known as the common type;

Type B, also known as export type;

C type, spindle aperture φ104mm;

Type D, spindle bore 176mm;

M type, precision type;
F type, hydraulic profiling.

规格范围：最大加工直径400、500、610，最大工件长度750、1000、1500、2000。

…………

CA6140 is a horizontal lathe improved on the basis of the original C620 ordinary machine tool. C stands for lathe and A is the structural characteristic code to distinguish C6140. 6 stands for horizontal, 1 stands for basic type, and 40 stands for the maximum swing diameter of 400MM. It is one of the equipment required by mechanical equipment manufacturing enterprises.

…………

Below are the design drawings of various models, which are very numerous.

Wang Qingsong’s eyes lit up when he saw that there was an introduction.

Having this is so important.

This way he doesn't have to distinguish them one by one.

He turned his head and looked at Zhou Ying who was still looking carefully there and said, "Please print this out for me, and don't mess it up. Give me two copies of each, no, three copies."

Zhou Ying muttered, "Why do you want this? I don't have a printer! Do you want it now?"

"Now, find a way."

If Zhou Xin hadn't broken the bottle today, he wouldn't have come over!

I didn't expect to encounter such a good thing.

Du Wanting and the others are still waiting for me over there!
Zhou Ying shook her head helplessly when she saw this: "Okay, should we copy it and print it out, or should we buy a printer ourselves?"

"Buy one! Hurry up. Buy it on Meituan!"

Seeing him say that, Zhou Ying picked up her phone and did a quick search on Meituan: "Is this okay? 1279. Xiaomi, will arrive within 30 minutes, and there will be cheaper ones..."

"Okay, it's him!"

Wang Qingsong made the decision immediately.

Then just wait there.

"There it is again."

Zhou Ying refreshed her email and said something to him.

open to take a look.

This is another model, developed and sold in the 1990s.

Wang Qingsong was watching carefully there.

More than twenty minutes later, the printer arrived on time.

It took me another twenty minutes to watch the video, assemble everything, and connect it to the Internet.

The good thing about the home use type is that it is very convenient.

Wang Qingsong looked at the contents on the computer and said, "Delete this, the manufacturer, and change this, the year. 1973, delete the year. Change it to 90073, remove the 1, and add two zeros in the middle..."

If only he could remember it.

When Zhou Ying heard this, she agreed.

The content is on PPT and can be printed directly.

After printing out a few copies and making sure that the specifications on the drawing were clearly visible, I started printing with confidence.

"Don't be so anxious! Printing three copies at once will take too long. Just print one copy. I'll save the changes on my computer so I don't have to make any changes next time."

Wang Qingsong thought about it and felt the same way.

It takes quite a bit of time to print this one out.

Each file contains a lot of content, and even if you print them one by one, it will take more than 40 minutes.

Before nine o'clock, Wang Qingsong packed his things.

It takes several hundred sheets of thick paper to make one copy, but this copy contains drawings of many models.

In fact, some of them were not useful, but he didn't have time to select them. The main reason was that he didn't understand them. Even machine tools that appeared before the 1960s were included, so he didn't delete them.

"Hey, Qingsong, the things he gave are only for 99 years at most, there is nothing after that."

After Zhou Ying sorted out the things, she asked him something.

Wang Qingsong said nonchalantly, "It's okay. This is all for now. By the way, are you hungry? Don't go back at night. Once it's ready, go to a nearby hotel and get a room."

After hearing this, Zhou Ying thought for a moment and said, "It will probably take until midnight to finish this many. Are you sure you want to finish it?"

"Let's finish printing! See if you can buy two more printers and print together. This way it will be faster. If not, buy a computer as well and keep it at home when you don't need it."

There are 10 folders in total, with a total of 74 machine tool models.

If we fight them one by one, it will probably take until dawn.

When Zhou Ying heard this, she shook her head speechlessly.

But the boss said so, so she listened.

You don't have to buy a computer, but you can just buy two more printers. When printing, just choose another printer.

By the time the machines were installed and debugged, it was already eleven o'clock.

Printing with three machines together is much faster.

At twelve o'clock, the mall was about to close, and only the last two were left.

"Gone! Closed."

Someone patrolling the mall came over and urged the two of them.

Zhou Ying looked at the time and estimated that it would take another half an hour, so she said quickly, "It will be ready soon. It will be ready soon. Wait a moment. Sorry for the trouble."

The security guards don't want to offend anyone.

After finding out the approximate time, he left and came back to check after completing the patrol.

Forty minutes later.

The security guards had finished their patrol and returned to the store.

After repeated urging, everything was finally sorted out.

At the urging of the security guard, he carried his things and left the mall.

"call!"

Zhou Ying put the things at the door and breathed a sigh of relief. "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Wang Qingsong couldn't say that he couldn't wait too long.

"I'm impatient! You go first, I have something else to do. I'll call a car to take the stuff away."

Hearing this, Zhou Ying rolled her eyes and said, "Just leave when you're done! Okay, I'll go back first. By the way, don't forget to pick up the car tomorrow!"

"Okay, got it."

Wang Qingsong agreed.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying said hello and left the mall.

Watching her leave, Wang Qingsong carried the box to the parking lot, found a dark place, and quietly put the things away.

There are quite a lot of things.

It took three attempts to get everything in place.

After everything was done, I tidied my clothes and rode my bike to another place.

He found a dark place and disappeared back to Hong Kong Island.

After tidying up a bit, I rode away on my bike.

Came to the law firm where Du Wanting worked.

Du Wanting and her daughter were relieved to see him coming.

Du Wanting was joking: "Mr. Wang, I thought you weren't coming!"

Wang Qingsong looked at the other person and said, "I have something to deal with. I'm late. Sorry."

"It's okay, it's still early, it's only nine o'clock."

They are not worried about time, but they are worried that Wang Qingsong will suddenly change his mind, which would be troublesome.
