Chapter 40

“Chief Du, do you have any other questions?” Yu Hongru asked anxiously. He saw Du Yimeng installed the last accessory, but he just sat there stupidly and didn’t move. He was worried that the CNC machine tool he had been looking forward to for two months would become a dream.

“I’ll check it first. If there’s no problem, we can test the machine.” Du Yimeng said.

“Hmm…” Yu Hongru took a few steps back with a serious face, afraid that he would be in the way if he stood by. His eyes were always on the CNC machine tool.

“Director Yu, we can start testing the machine now.” Du Yimeng said in a firm tone. Her two months of hard work would come to fruition at this moment.

Yu Hongru didn’t dare to blink, staring at the CNC machine tool.

The same was true for Yu Lang and several people from the security department. In fact, they were more excited than anyone else present.

Not only can they touch guns, but they can also make a machine tool. Isn’t that awesome?

Yu Hongru did not report Du Yimeng’s research on CNC machine tools to the Ministry of Industry because he was worried that Minister Wu would take his tractor with him when he left, just like he did last time.

It was enough that the heart-breaking thing happened once, and he didn’t want to experience it again. During that time, he was always sad, and every time he thought about it, it was as if a sharp knife was stabbed into his heart.

He was really worried that his heart couldn’t take it, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Moreover, he promised Du Yimeng that the first CNC machine tool would stay in the R&D department. Only if this prototype stays here can it play its greatest role.

However, once the test machine is successful, their machinery factory can start production. Who will care about a prototype at that time?

Du Yimeng, who was not nervous at first, became a little nervous when she saw that everyone was afraid to breathe. She didn’t dare to whet everyone’s appetite. If she did so at this time, it would be unkind.

She turned on the power first. The order of turning on the main power of the machine tool is to turn on the power of the CNC system first, and then start the machine tool. When shutting down, the order is exactly the opposite, first turn off the system power, and then turn off the main power of the machine tool.

“Director Yu, how about you write some words and cast them on a steel plate?” Du Yimeng suggested. Of course, the first thing they made would be kept for preservation. They couldn’t just make a nut, right?

Yu Hongru was stunned at first, then quickly picked up the paper and pen beside him. In just a minute, a line of majestic words appeared on the paper.

“Oriental Machinery Factory, Oriental Dream CNC Machine Tools.”

Du Yimeng was very satisfied when she saw the words because it contained the word “dream”. She operated the panel to input data, the machine tool started working, and soon the words appeared on the steel plate.

This time, not only Yu Hongru and the others were very excited, even Du Yimeng was very excited.

She didn’t just witness the miracle, she created it herself.

“Chief Du, is it done?” Yu Hongru looked at the words on the steel plate, and then looked at Du Yimeng in disbelief.

“It’s done…” Du Yimeng nodded in response.

“No need for manual operation?” Yu Hongru asked again. He really couldn’t believe that he just tapped his fingers a few times and the machine tool made the product by itself. If all the machine tools in their factory were this kind of CNC machine tools, the output would definitely increase several times.

“No need.” Du Yimeng replied.

“Captain Du, can you explain to me how this machine tool works?” Yu Hongru asked curiously. He really wanted to know, but he soon regretted it.

“CNC machine tools are composed of three control systems: processing program, input device, CNC servo assistance, feedback system and the machine tool body. All the operations required in the machine tool processing process are digitized, and the operation of the machine tool and the processing process are controlled by signals, and finally evolved into mechatronics, that is, automated processing.” Du Yimeng talked freely about his major.

Yu Hongru: What should I do if he doesn’t understand at all?

Everyone: Their brains are confused and their eyes are blank, this is them.

“Chief Du, can you please tell me what makes this CNC machine tool better than ordinary machine tools?” Seeing that Du Yimeng wanted to continue talking, Yu Hongru quickly interrupted her and said, “Stop talking. He won’t understand if you talk too much, and it would be a waste of time.”

“Complex, precise and small-batch parts like those that cannot be processed by ordinary machine tools can all be processed by this CNC machine tool. Taking the issue of electromagnetic compatibility into consideration, I specifically improved the anti-interference capability, and the output is several times that of ordinary machine tools.” Du Yimeng said, I think you can understand this, right?

Everyone was stunned, including Yu Hongru. They understood the first part, but not the second part, and then seemed to understand it again.

In short, their brains are in a mess now, a complete tangled mess.

“I can tell you confidently that once this CNC machine tool comes out, CNC machine tools from other countries will be inferior to it.” Du Yimeng said proudly with her chin slightly raised. She has been leading in technology for decades, and this is the confidence she has in saying this.

It took the United States four years, the United States two and a half years, and she only two months to develop a CNC machine tool that surpassed their technological field.

It can be said that she has started climbing the mountain, and one day in the future, she will stand on the mountain and look down on everyone.

“Okay, okay…” This time Yu Hongru understood and couldn’t help laughing. With this CNC machine tool, they will bid farewell to the era of rubbing parts by hand.

But what he liked to hear the most was that they were far ahead of other countries and that they were lagging behind in technology. But that was in the past, and it was still uncertain who was the big brother now!

The others also looked happy, even Yu Lang had a smile on his face.

“Chief Du, let’s discuss whether this CNC machine tool can…” Yu Hongru said to Du Yimeng in a gentle tone, but she interrupted him before he could finish his words.

“Director Yu, we agreed that this machine tool can only stay in the R&D department. If you want it, here are the drawings.” Du Yimeng interrupted him and pointed to the drawings beside him.

Don’t bully people like this. You keep taking advantage of her and she’s almost bald.

“Da Meng! Don’t get excited. I haven’t finished speaking yet. That…” Yu Hongru rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly, but was interrupted by Du Yimeng again.

“Director Yu, it’s working hours now. Please call me Chief Du.” Yu Hongru’s “big dream” almost sent Du Yimeng away.

Yu Lang twitched his lips. He was speechless that his father had abandoned his principles for this machine tool.

“Chief Du, our machinery factory has applied for the Canton Fair and has been approved. I would like to put this CNC machine tool on the booth. We are not selling it, but just want those people to take a look at it.” Yu Hongru said this quickly because he was worried that Du Yimeng would interrupt again.

He really couldn’t stand it. He had abandoned his principles. Why couldn’t she just listen to what he had to say?

He doesn’t want it, he’s just borrowing it.

“What if the higher-ups take it away? Who will compensate us?” Du Yimeng said leisurely. She did not forget that the last time the tractor was successfully trial-produced, it was taken away by Minister Wu.

Minister Wu has superiors above him. If someone wants this machine tool, can he, as a county-level factory leader, stop them?

Or can she, a small section chief, stop it?
