Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 97 Automatic
"I have often told you about this issue before. Safety in production is no small matter and no one should take chances," Yang Zhenyu emphasized again.

"Understood." More than a dozen technicians answered at the same time.

"Okay, I'm glad you understand. I'll have them send the materials to other workshops. After these are done, you can go there to lead the workers." Yang Zhenyu nodded and said.

After the new factory is built, people will definitely be transferred from the engineering department. At that time, he will have to think about who to send there, as this will disperse the strength of the engineering department.

"It's a headache, it's really a headache. This step is too big, and now I don't have enough manpower." Yang Zhenyu rubbed his temple.

"No, I need to talk to Director Yang. Why haven't these freshly graduated students arrived yet?"

Thinking of this, Yang Zhenyu left the workshop and went straight to Director Yang's office.

"Director Yang, Director Yang." Yang Zhenyu knocked on the door and shouted.

In the entire factory, Yang Zhenyu was the only one who shouted and knocked on the door like that, and this was also a reflection of his relationship with the leader.

"Engineer Yang? Why are you here?" Director Yang looked at Yang Zhenyu curiously, wondering why Yang Zhenyu came here at this time.

"It is an automated production machine tool. Current machine tools and lathes all need manual operation. Next, we are going to design a fully automatic machine tool that can produce by itself by only placing materials manually. How about it? Just tell me whether you want it or not?" Yang Zhenyu said.

"This, I actually inquired about this matter before, but my superiors did not approve the quota, so I have no choice." Director Yang said helplessly.

"How can this be possible? How can we do scientific research without people? Isn't this nonsense?" Yang Zhenyu said with a frown.

"Director Yang, you should know that the United States has already successfully developed it. Although I don't know what their production capacity is, in terms of efficiency, it is definitely faster than manual labor. You can think about it." Yang Zhenyu said.

"No, tell me the truth, what big thing do you want to do next?" Director Yang asked Yang Zhenyu while pulling him aside.

"If that's really the case, then we can give it a try. Just wait, I'll go find my superior now. This time I'm going all out and I'll do whatever it takes to get you a technician." Director Yang slammed the table and said.

"There's nothing I can do about it. That's what my superior told me. Why don't you talk to him about it?" Director Yang was also helpless. This was not the first time he had talked to his superior about this.

"Let's go now. Let's go to the planning department and ask why I'm not included in the plan? You were thinking of doing something big after the new year, but this is it? Without even the manpower, how can we do scientific research?" Yang Zhenyu said, standing up.

"What big move?"

"Hey, do you want an automated machine?" Yang Zhenyu said gritting his teeth.

"There is nothing in the world that cannot be created, except what you can't think of," said Yang Zhenyu.

"Need people? What kind of people?" Director Yang said in confusion.

"Director, I'm here to ask you for someone." Yang Zhenyu sat down opposite Director Yang and said.

"Of course it's the technician. This year's graduation season has already ended, so it's time for the technicians to come over, right?" Yang Zhenyu said.

"What?" Director Yang didn't understand what Yang Zhenyu meant.

"Is there such a thing?" Director Yang said with his eyes wide open.

The most primitive CNC machine tools could be made, but they cannot be made now because the industrial level has not reached it. In addition, we are now in an era of surplus labor and there is no need for it. As for exporting it, Yang Zhenyu has never thought about it.

But it does not prevent you from using this as an excuse to ask your superiors for people, so there is no problem.

But there must be a theoretical basis for CNC machine tools, otherwise others will not believe it. "No, I have to go back and write a paper. When I publish it, I will have a theoretical basis when I need someone. Otherwise, Director Yang's empty talk may not work."

After Yang Zhenyu made up his mind, he returned to his office and began to seclude himself. He wanted to write a paper, and he had to work hard.

Director Yang didn't know all this. He just ran to his superior excitedly to ask for the person.

The superiors also knew about Yang Zhenyu's situation. If he wanted to develop something new, he would definitely need a large number of people. However, the superiors really had no choice now as the shortage of staff was very serious.

"Xiao Yang, it's not that I don't want to give you manpower. The key is, we really don't have the manpower. Aren't you making things difficult for me?" The big boss said with a bitter face.

Director Yang comes over from time to time to ask for people, and he is more justified than others. The most important thing is that these people can really produce results. If you want to refuse, you need to find a better reason. How can you argue with this?

"Old leader, I'm not forcing you, but we really need manpower. Today, Engineer Yang came to me to urge me, and I had no choice." Director Yang also had a bitter face, as if they were competing to see whose face was bitterest.

"What? He asks you for people? Doesn't he have more than a dozen people under him? Is that not enough?" The big boss said in disbelief.

"Old leader, I'm afraid it really isn't enough this time. He has made another big move, saying it's some automatic production machine tool. I don't quite understand it, but it sounds very powerful. Please help us overcome it and transfer some people over." Director Yang said.

"I understand the situation. How about this, you go back first, I'll ask someone to look into it and see if there is anyone else who can be transferred." The big leader said after a moment's hesitation.

There is no way, he doesn't understand these things, so he has to consult an expert. If this statement is really feasible, it is not impossible to draw personnel from other places.

The experts of this era are real experts, not the experts who come later. They are two fundamentally different types of people.

"Well, okay. I don't know if Engineer Yang can still carry out his work." Director Yang said with a sigh.

After Director Yang left, the top leader was not idle either. He immediately convened experts to discuss the feasibility of automated production of machine tools.

Then the conclusion is that it is possible.

At this time, foreign countries already have machine tools for this purpose, and China is also committed to researching this technology.

However, so far, it has not been successful and is still some distance away from being accepted overseas.

Therefore, the top leader gritted his teeth and transferred several level nine engineers from the Ministry of Metallurgy, and then went to the Planning Commission to ask for a few technicians, and packaged them together and sent them to the Red Star Factory after the New Year.

Yang Zhenyu didn’t know about these, and even if he knew, what could he do?
All that needs to be done has been done, and the rest depends on the superiors.

"What's wrong? Aunt, you don't look well." When Yang Zhenyu brought Zhou Qianqian in, he saw an old lady sitting at his door with a very unhappy look on her face.

"Zhenyu, you're back. Go and take a look. Our house has been robbed." The aunt said with a bitter face.

"Ah? What's going on?" Zhou Qianqian widened her eyes, feeling a little unbelievable.

"When I went home to cook at noon today, it was my turn to look after Qin Huairu, so I went home to cook at noon and did not stay in the front yard. As a result, the cellar in our house was opened by someone..." said an aunt.

"It's okay, it's just a cellar." Yang Zhenyu patted the old lady on the back to comfort her.

"Aunt, it's okay. If the old doesn't go away, the new won't come." Zhou Qianqian also followed to comfort her.

"You'd better go and take a look." said an old lady.
