Chapter 712: Number One in the World (Second update, please subscribe)
On the bus at 6:30 in the morning, there were only a few passengers.
Because the car is very loose, everyone is doing their own things, and some are yawning. Others read newspapers.
The cool morning breeze blew into the car through the window. While bringing coolness, it also made the newspaper in his hand "squeak", but Zhao Zhiyuan continued to flip through the newspaper as if he didn't see it. Suddenly, a piece of news in the corner of the newspaper attracted his attention.
“The high-speed railway may first lead to Yongan.”
Zhao Zhiyang was slightly startled by the news in the newspaper. He had always heard of high-speed railways. Recently, it has been the "darling" of newspaper news.
The speed has exceeded 260 kilometers per hour, and the reports that after the high-speed railway is completed, the travel time between cities in Nanyang will be reduced to only four hours, they all say one word - -speed.
And now?
"...The travel time from Yong'an to Kuching will be shortened to less than one hour, and Yong'an and Kuching will form a metropolitan area that is not inferior to the capital area..."
Speed 268 kilometers per hour !
"This speed is really fast enough to catch up with an airplane. It's the world's first high-speed railway."
When he said "the world's first", Zhao Zhiyuan naturally thought of the equipment in the laboratory.
"If it succeeds, it will definitely be the first machine tool controlled by an electronic computer in the world!"
Thinking of this world's first, Zhao Zhiyuan's heart can't help but feel hot, and this The world's first is different from other firsts because it is a research result led by people from the Tang Dynasty.
……
New Year's Day is coming, it is the rainy season, and there is a lot of rain in the rainy season. Looking at the rain outside the window, standing in the corridor on the first floor of the Servo Machinery Laboratory of Yong'an University, Zhang Nuolin lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then he Looking out the window like this, I saw people taking shelter from the rain under parasols.
If it was normal, he might guess what stories would happen among the people taking shelter from the rain.
But now, his mind is entirely on the experiment that is about to begin.
Will the experiment be successful?
The answer is unknown.
Even if you fail, you just have to start over!
Thinking like this, Zhang Nuolin took a few puffs of cigarette, and then walked into the laboratory.
In the laboratory, a group of people are surrounding a large milling machine. The difference from an ordinary milling machine is that there is a box-type controller connected to its side.
Soon, the processed workpiece was fixed.
Looking at the fixed workpiece, Zhao Zhiyuan's black and white eyes flashed with a trace of desire.
If successful, this will be the first in the world!
"Teaching assistant..."
Seeing that Zhao Zhiyuan never said far away, the student on the side reminded him.
“Ah,”
Recovering, Zhao Zhiyuan smiled.
"A little distracted."
After getting ready, Zhao Zhiyuan, like everyone else, also turned his attention to Zhang Nuolin. Although he was the company representative, he was also the person in charge of the project.
“Let’s start!”
Zhang Nolin pursed his lips nervously and said.
"Enter data tape..."
After he finished speaking, a graduate student inserted the punched paper tape with data into the control computer. Soon the CNC milling machine testing machine began to work. As the metal workpiece was milled and shaped, people in the laboratory were all excited. Showing joy, they successfully realized the movement of three axes at the same time.
“We succeeded!”
When this transistor CNC machine tool prototype in the servo machinery laboratory began to mill simple mechanical parts, no one thought that it would give What changes will the future machine tool industry and machining industry bring?
But one thing that is certain is that on January 6, 2019, the world's first data milling machine was born in the servo machinery laboratory of Yong'an University.
However, perhaps as people are used to it - many inventions and creations are often ignored by people at first. This news did not even appear in newspapers. For no other reason than journalists simply did not Knowing the meaning of "CNC machine tool", to a layman, it is just a machine tool, what's the big deal.
Not to mention them, even the manufacturing companies don't think this machine tool has any meaning. They are still unable to fully realize the significance of this invention to the industry. "Its appearance can minimize the role of humans in the production of mechanical parts..."
At the meeting of the machine tool company, Zhang Nuolin used a slide to introduce the company's senior management That CNC machine.
“As we all know, the level of mechanical processing of enterprises has always been restricted by the skill level of workers, and the training of a skilled worker can take at least ten years or more than ten years. This is also a constraint on Nanyang Machinery Manufacturing The fundamental reason for the development of the industry..."
Those sitting here are all experts in mechanical processing. Of course they know the advantages and disadvantages of Nanyang's machinery manufacturing industry, and they also know the significance of skilled workers to Nanyang. Various companies have made progress in the past In the past few years, the reason why I went to Japan to recruit technicians was, to put it bluntly, to obtain skilled technical workers.
"...The emergence of the No. 01 electronic computer milling machine in the servo machinery laboratory has completely changed everything. Unlike ordinary milling machines that rely on workers to operate, when it is used, the operator inputs data through paper tape, and then The processing is completely controlled by an electronic computer..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the company's senior management asked anxiously.
“So what is its machining accuracy now?”
“Can complex workpieces be processed?”
“Is the training of operating workers complicated?”
< br>
For a time, everyone was talking about one question, and that was - can it replace ordinary machine tools, or in other words, reduce the difficulty of worker training? Although the answer in the end was not very satisfactory, but here In a smoky conference room, people looked at the workpiece milled by the CNC milling machine on the slide, and their expressions became extremely serious.
“Although there is still a certain gap in accuracy, for the processing of certain parts, it is basically enough.”
“The most important thing is that there is room for improvement! It takes at least one to two years for us to train an ordinary skilled worker. If we go all out to develop it, we will still make great progress in one or two years."
"That's not true. Nowadays, the technology of electronic computers is also advancing rapidly. I heard that there are already computers with operation speeds exceeding one million times."
While the company's senior executives were talking to each other, Zhang Nuolin said. Standing there smoking quietly, it seemed that all this had nothing to do with him, even if he was the person in charge of the entire project.
Zhao Zhiyuan said doubtfully.
"Nolin, you don't seem to be too worried."
"They will adopt it,"
Zhang Nolin said confidently.
“Our industrial development requires this kind of machine tool, and it is the real future.”
He was as confident as ever, and this confidence was because he knew very well the changes that that seemingly inconspicuous machine tool would bring to Nanyang's machinery production.
He is bound to set off a new revolution. The company's senior management will certainly not ignore all this, because it can minimize "human errors".
Looking at the confident Zhang Nuolin, Zhao Zhiyuan asked curiously.
"What are you thinking about now, Nolin?"
"Behind!"
"What?"
"It's just backward production capacity."
Take a puff of cigarette, Zhang Nuolin said.
“Perhaps in a few years, or ten years, the advanced equipment of our company that we were once proud of will become backward in production capacity like old equipment such as textile mills, and then I will be transferred or eliminated..."
After a pause, Zhang Nuolin pursed his lips and said.
"When the time comes, it's not just machines that will be eliminated..."
This may seem a bit unfounded, but it is true - new machine tools will inevitably eliminate workers from the old era. Even inevitable.
“Therefore, when introducing new equipment, it is also necessary to strengthen the professional skills training and education for workers. Only by keeping them up to date can they avoid being eliminated by the times, and...”
After a pause, Zhao Zhiyuan said.
"It is also the fundamental premise for enterprises to further develop. If a company cannot even train its own workers well, then it will inevitably be eliminated by the market. By that time, it will not be the new machines that will eliminate the workers. , but the market eliminates factories, and workers naturally become unemployed.”
In fact, this is the most real side of the market. The so-called industrial transfer is essentially to eliminate backward production capacity that will be eliminated by the market in the next few years through advance deployment abroad, thereby preventing enterprises from being eliminated by cruel market competition. .
