After handing over the design drawings to Liu Daming, Zhang Guanyu and others, Yang Xiaotao no longer participated in the production of the rolling mill. Instead, accompanied by Chang Mingjie, he inspected the situation in the workshop.

“How is Morningstar production going now?”

The two walked to the Morning Star production line at the innermost side. Yang Xiaotao looked at the busy workers and asked casually.

Hearing Yang Xiaotao ask this, Chang Mingjie smiled bitterly.

"Now one per month is pretty good."

Yang Xiaotao frowned, "So few?"

Chang Mingjie nodded.

"Since you made ten units at one go last time, you have only produced eight units so far."

"Half of this was done by Liu Gong and others."

Chang Mingjie said on the side, feeling a little uneasy.

Recently, their second workshop has had a lot of defective products.

Especially the production of Chenxing consumes a lot of materials, and even Factory Director Yang has objections.

Yang Xiaotao did not see Chang Mingjie's embarrassment, but looked at the busy workers.

Because Yang Xiaotao mentioned to Liu Huaimin last time that the popularization of machine tools requires high-precision machine tools, but if you want to improve further and obtain better machine tools than Morning Star, you cannot do without human operation.

You can't make a morning star out of ten or eight morning stars.

That's not realistic.

But if you can use people, you can improve the accuracy of machine tools.

Therefore, the machinery factory not only did not relax the technical requirements for factory workers, but became more strict.

Only as long as follow-up talents keep up can we lay a solid foundation for future machine tool research.

And how to improve talent capabilities?

Apart from talent, it’s all about practice.

Currently, the lowest level worker on this production line is a sixth-level fitter, and there are even a few eighth-level workers.

"Are these people transferred here?"

Chang Mingjie nodded quickly, "Yes, they are all highly qualified, and there is a lot of room for technical improvement!"

"That's good!"

"You don't have to be anxious. We need to give our comrades enough time to grow."

"Don't be afraid of waste. As long as we make one, we will be successful."

Yang Xiaotao looked at everyone with more expectation in his eyes.

These people are the treasures of the machinery factory!

Chang Mingjie nodded after listening.

"It's just a bit of scrap alloy!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled after hearing this, "It's okay, it's nothing to waste, that thing is just for use anyway!"

Hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, Chang Mingjie let go of his worries.

The two of them were walking, and then they saw someone appear from the side, walking quickly.

"Mr. Yang?"

The visitor suddenly stopped in front of Yang Xiaotao, and when he saw Yang Xiaotao, his face showed joy.

When Yang Xiaotao saw the person coming, he stopped and said, "Lao Guo!"

The visitor was none other than Lao Guo, who was recruited by Yang Xiaotao to join the R&D department. The relief on the friendship pot was his masterpiece.

In line with the plan to recruit special talents, many people from various workshops of the machinery factory were recruited into the R&D department.

Just like the hollowing technical talents in the fourth workshop in the past, the welding talents in the eighth workshop in the past, etc.

Of course, this is only for the machinery factory. As for other branch factories or other factories, whenever possible, they will recruit people to the R&D department.

Therefore, there are quite a lot of people in the R&D department now.

Of course, some people are just in name.

After all, they still need to work in the workshop.

The advantage of being registered is that you get an additional five yuan subsidy every month.

Those with special skills are very positive about this.

At this time, it was a cold day, but Lao Guo was rolling up his sleeves, holding two slender screws in his hands, and the two tufts of gray mustache on his lips were dancing, looking particularly excited.

"Mr. Yang, as soon as I heard that you were back, I wanted to find you."

"Originally, it was yesterday, but you were so busy that I didn't bother you."

"I didn't expect you to come to the workshop today, haha, that's great."

Lao Guo is not young yet, but maybe it’s because of his career. He likes to be direct when he wields a hammer. When he sees Yang Xiaotao, he will get acquainted with him directly. He will say whatever he wants.

"Lao Guo, what are you doing with me?"

Yang Xiaotao was not polite and asked directly.

"Hey! Mr. Yang, good stuff. Definitely good stuff!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his dark hand and handed the two finger-sized screws in front of Yang Xiaotao's eyes.

Yang Xiaotao reached out and took it. Chang Mingjie was also curious and took it over to look at it.

Lao Guo clapped his hands, looking a bit conceited, but his eyes showed expectation.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the screw in his hand. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary screw.

But if you look closely, you can see that the screws are different from ordinary screws.

Chang Mingjie reached out and touched it, then looked at Yang Xiaotao, then at Lao Guo who was waiting for praise, and then spoke.

"Aren't these just ordinary screws? Moreover, the screws you made are too rough, and they are not all the same dense."

As he said this, he returned the screws to Lao Guo, feeling a little unhappy.

That is to say, the other party is from the R&D department and it is not convenient for him to say anything.

But in fact, most people in the R&D department are capable, no, it should be said that they are all capable, but they are not used in the right way.

Lao Guo took the screw and said nothing, but looked at Yang Xiaotao.

In his heart, Yang Xiaotao is the most powerful person in this machinery factory.

You can definitely see the way through.

"No, this screw is extraordinary!"

Yang Xiaotao looked at it for a while and then touched it with his hand, his eyes solemn.

"Why is it different?"

Chang Mingjie also realized that if it were an ordinary screw, the other party would not be so happy.

Yang Xiaotao looked at Lao Guo, then smiled and said, "Lao Guo, take out the bolts you hid."

Hahaha

"As expected, it's Mr. Yang. He is indeed the most powerful engineer in our machinery factory."

"A cow is a cow!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up.

The other side took out two bolts from his pants pocket and handed them to Yang Xiaotao.

"Mr. Yang, this is the screw I made. Look inside, it is a special thread formed by two superimposed threads."

"I tried it on the machine tool and found that this kind of screw is stronger and more wear-resistant."

"If you don't believe it, I'll take you to see it."

"The one I used last time is still strong."

After Lao Guo finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao immediately understood why there were two kinds of threads on the screws.

One is thin and tall, the other is thick and short, but overall they are arranged in an orderly manner.

It is obviously a thread that has never appeared before.

"Lao Guo, are you kidding?"

Chang Mingjie on the side also realized the benefits of this kind of screw.

Lao Guo patted his chest, "It goes without saying, it must be true!"

Then he explained what happened, "During the winter months last year, I was helping to take care of the machine tool. Later I discovered that the machine tool had been used for a long time, and the screws would loosen when the machine vibrated."
