Chapter 744
Tan Gang nodded slightly and said, "I already know what's going on here, the Science and Technology Commission has taken over a batch of machine tools and is already testing them, right?"
"Yes." Director Wang said.
"Well, things have changed, you tell them to step up their testing."
"Minister Tan, I've just pressed it, but this, what's going on, these Germans, they say they have a new cooperation project, what is it?" Director Wang asked suspiciously.
"Pioneer." Tan Gang spat out two words in a gruff voice.
"What!" Director Wang's face shook violently and he exclaimed in shock. This project called Pioneer was something he had heard of by chance.
According to the news, it was a super cutting-edge technology project by the western countries to explore the moon and establish a base on the moon in order to open up the field of human existence.
And the countries that can participate in this technology project must not only have a strong industrial and economic base, but also have ultra-advanced high-end precision technology.
"The international situation is now very serious, I have just received news from the top that this time Germany, the United States and Japan have joined together to impose a blockade on our country on this project, with the aim of inhibiting our rise, this group of scientists from Germany is just the first batch, there are still a large number of scientists from Japan and the United States coming to say something about this matter later." Tan Gang said in a deep voice, his meaning was very clear.
As we all know, after World War II, the rise of China was very fast, which caused the discontent of many western countries, however, because the development time was too short, now the high-precision manufacturing industry was China's shortcomings, and Germany, Japan and the United States did not dare to refuse to let China participate in this project in the open, otherwise it would cause a major international dispute incident, or even tear the face.
Therefore, they caught the point that China's high-precision manufacturing industry is not good enough, and once it becomes a reality, China will be sidelined, and it will be a big blow to China's status in the international arena.
This involves not only the construction of pioneering projects, but also the game between countries.
If nothing goes wrong, China will lose badly in this game.
"These sons of bitches ......" After listening to Tan Gang's words, Director Wang took a moment to think through the crux of the matter and the seriousness of the situation.
"But Minister He, things haven't gone that far yet, we still have the machine tools that Future Technology just shipped." Director Wang said.
"Hmm. For us, this time is a challenge, but it is also an opportunity, a chance to ruthlessly file down the temper of Germany, Japan and the United States."
Tan Gang's eyes flashed a fine aura, the current international environment was relatively peaceful, there were no wars to fight, and the battles on the surface were all games of science and technology and military equipment.
When Marco saw Director Wang and Minister Tan gabbing about something, he thought for a moment and came forward with his men and said, "Director Wang, I think my mission is, probably, complete, so I have to go."
After the interpreter translated Marco's words into Chinese, Director Wang's eyebrows jumped and he looked at Tan Gang.
Tan Gang frowned and looked at Marco and said, "Doctor, you've missed something else."
Upon hearing this, Marco smiled and said, "This sir, this must be your top research institute in China, right? I only come here to see the high end stuff, not the low end stuff."
Tan Gang smiled back and said, "What you are looking at is indeed low level stuff, not really high level."
"What do you mean?" Marco's eyes showed confusion.
"Director Wang, take them to see our high precision equipment in China, let them know that top-notch stuff is not only available to those of them who like to impose technological blockade, but we, in China, are not lacking either!" Tan Gang said proudly with his chest puffed out.
"Yes!" If this hadn't happened, Tan Gang would never have let this group of German scientists see the newly introduced machine tools from Super Dimension Technology, because China had always taken the route of making a lot of money by keeping a low profile.
However, the situation now is extremely serious and when it is time to be high profile, it is absolutely impossible to be low profile.
This is the same as making a high-end weapon and immediately dragging it out to rehearse it, not only as a deterrent, but also to show other countries how powerful they are and let them weigh in on whether they should be offended.
So, with Director Wang in the lead and Tan Gang leading the way, together with Marco and the other German scientists, they left the underground research institute and headed by car to the laboratory where the Science and Technology Commission was located.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the CSTC's laboratory and took the lead in the laboratory, where Director Wang immediately asked several testers, "What is the situation, how is the accuracy and efficiency? What is the processing range?"
"Director, we don't know how to describe it, you can look at the data yourself." One of the testers pointed to a data sheet that had just been printed out.
Director Wang took the data sheet and began to browse through it quickly.
At first glance, his eyes twitched violently and his face showed wild joy as he looked at the tester and he asked excitedly, "Are you sure, this is the test data of this machine tool?"
"That's right director, we tested one by one the propeller, engine reducer, aircraft high speed railway bearings and warship crankshaft, repeatedly tested, the data are all the same, there is not the slightest deviation, these are all things that we could not do before, need to import ah, but now can easily process, it is really ......" the tester's face is also a bit red with excitement at this time.
"All right, I know." Director Wang raised his hand to interrupt him, a lighthearted smile spread across his face and said, "Seat the workpiece immediately, now there are a few Germans out there who look down on our country's high precision manufacturing, you know what to do?"
"Director, I understand!"
Chapter 745
As he spoke, the tester immediately instructed the rest of the team to start deploying the nine-axis CNC machine and selected a piece of carburized steel specifically for machining aircraft bearings and installed it.
A few moments later, Tan Gang led a few military researchers into the laboratory with Marco and the others.
Marco looked at the CNC machine and his eyes flashed, but he shook his head and said, "Is this your Chinese high precision instrument? How come it looks exactly the same as a five-axis, three-linkage CNC machine to me?"
The five-axis, three-linkage CNC machine tool was something that Germany had researched and developed 20 to 30 years ago, and Marco's words had a strong flavour of mockery.
Hearing this, Tan Gang gave a light laugh and gestured to Director Wang.
Seeing this, Director Wang also immediately gave a wink to the testers.
Immediately afterwards, under the control of one of the testers, the machining table of the nine-axis linkage CNC machine abruptly flashed a blue light, and after scanning, the carburised steel workpiece began to rotate rapidly with the mechanical arm on the side stand.
And during the rotation, the position was effectively adjusted, while the other mechanical arm, inlaid with a nano-cutting knife, carried out direct machining of the workpiece after a rapid tool change.
A beautiful sound like playing a piano resonated through the laboratory as the workpiece was processed by the robot arm, and the originally solid steel was cut and shaved like tofu.
And after the first round of planing, immediately after the rapid drilling process, the speed of change and processing speed, dazzling.
"This ...... my God, how is it possible!" Marco, on his side, originally still had a carefree look on his face.
When he came here this time, the instructions given to him by his superiors were to walk around casually and just go through the motions.
Before coming here, he also had a general understanding of China's industrial manufacturing, which was probably the world's number one in bottom-level industrial manufacturing, but the high-end precision technology was far inferior to theirs in Germany.
So, when he saw the CNC machine, Michel was actually dismissive. It would be silly for this group of Chinese people to try to showcase their cutting-edge manufacturing technology with CNC technology.
Because what they lacked was precisely the technology in this area.
However, at this moment, after half a minute, no, less than ten seconds to be precise, Marco's opinion changed.
From astonishment, to puzzlement, to now shock, he couldn't restrain himself from taking a step to see the workpiece being machined up close, his eyes unblinking, as if he were admiring a perfect work of art.
"It's too fast, too precise, it's a perfect forging of a work of art." Marco muttered to himself.
Behind him, a German scientist who had followed him swallowed his saliva and said, "Dr Marco, this seems to be a nine-axis machine tool."
"Of course I know that!" Marco said.
"But it gives me the feeling that it is even more powerful than our national eighteen-axis CNC machine tool!"
"You still need to say that?" Marco turned his head to glare at him in dissatisfaction and said, "Shut your mouth and talk later!"
CNC machines, in theory, could have countless axes, but, generally speaking, a nine-axis CNC machine was enough to machine all kinds of parts, whether they were aerospace or aviation.
It's not that more axes are useless, but the usefulness really isn't too great. Being able to machine free-form surfaces in space to perfection, even with only five axes, is better than an eighteen-axis one.
As the workpiece is machined, a bearing for a turbine type aircraft, gradually takes shape.
The scientists from Germany, who had long ago put aside their condescension, stared at the CNC machine with glowing eyes. Five minutes later, the surface was finished and the bearing of an aircraft was machined, but of course it was only a part of the engine bearing.
Although it was only a part, in the past, in China's high-end manufacturing industry, the efficiency of machining such a bearing was at least ten times different from this machine tool, not to mention whether the accuracy was qualified or not.
The researchers who came along with Tan Gang were basically scholars who knew about mechanical engineering, and when they saw what they had just done, their eyes were bigger than bull's eyes, and they looked excited.
Even Tan Gang's face was red with excitement, and he was breathing a little more rapidly.
When the workpiece was finished, Marco turned his head and looked at Tan Gang and said, "I didn't expect, I really didn't expect, that you in China would have such high-end machine tools ......"
Michel was a bit ashamed at the moment, he had just mocked that this machine was the same as a five-axis triplex machine tool, but now he saw that this CNC machine tool was already more powerful than even the most advanced 18-axis machine tool in their country.
Tan just calmed his mind and said indifferently, "There are things that we don't have, but we just don't want to take them out."
At these words, Marco was deeply impressed and hastily inquired, "Are you willing to offer such machine tools in China, we are willing to spend enough wealth to buy them!"
Tan just smiled, "Sorry, these things, you can only see, can not buy ......."
Soon, Marco several people left the place with regret and reluctance, and after they left, the laboratory was haughtily rebellious and the chatter was like a tide.
"Hey, that's so relieving!"
"Yeah, just now those Germans had a disdainful look on their faces, only to have their eyes drop out after seeing this machine tool being machined."
"This must be the nine-axis machine tool shipped from Future Technology, right? Tsk, I didn't expect that, it's actually so high-tech, I thought it was an ordinary nine-axis machine tool before."
"Hey, hey, those Germans used to blockade us with technology, this time, we'll do the same to them, let them taste what it's like to be hung!"
Chapter 746
Hearing the chatter, Tan Gang also had a pleased smile on his face.
Director Wang came over and said, "How is it Minister Tan, this time things, should be alright?"
"Those who wanted to play tricks, naturally they couldn't think that we had such a high-end machine tool, thanks to Future Technology, if it wasn't for this machine tool, our country's position in the international arena would have become extremely embarrassing." Tan just sighed, this incident may seem small, but in the grand scheme of things, if it is not handled properly, it will lead to extremely serious consequences.
In the past, many international large-scale projects, China is not qualified to participate, and the reason, often lies in these technical inadequacies.
This time, Germany, Japan and the United States want to exclude China from the high-end manufacturing industry and suppress China's rising status in the international arena, and as for the pioneering project, it may just be a front.
And the chief at the top, is also aware of the seriousness of the problem, otherwise he would not have directly ordered Tan Gang, a leader of the General Logistics Department of the Military Commission, to personally supervise this matter.
"Now, everything is fine." Director Wang said.
"Not quite, don't let your guard down, the matter of the machine tools will definitely not be able to be concealed, within the next month, other countries, will inevitably send people to visit, and only after that, will the matter be considered over."
Tan Gang said, "Well, this machine tool will stay with you, but the other nineteen machine tools that your science and technology committee intercepted earlier, you have to find someone to send them to me immediately."
"Minister Tan, you're ......"
"This is an order from above, the supplies need to be deployed in a unified manner."
"Alright." Tan Gang's sentence of an order from above made Director Wang unable to do anything to refute it, and he could only respond helplessly.
But at this time, Tan Gang seemed to think of something and then left, he was going to find Fan Lao, there was something to discuss with Fan Lao.
......
The first thing you need to do is to get back to your home.
He looked at the satisfied Zhao Xiaoqi next to him, Li Linfei also smiled roguishly, if not for his own fighting strength, otherwise he would not have been able to hold on.
At this time the phone rang.
"Hello, who is it?"
"Mr. Li, do you remember me?" An old and kind voice came from the other side, and Li Linfei was a little familiar with it.
Searching his memory, he drifted off and said with a smile, "Naturally I remember, why are you free to call me personally, Fan Lao?"
"Haha, not really free, I'm busy. Today is the day we hand over the last batch of goods, remember?" Fan Lao said.
Last month the two sides spoke on the phone and set the delivery of the last batch of graphene and nine-axis linked CNC machine tools for this month's date, which was today.
After the delivery, the military would pay the final payment to Future Technology and consider whether to continue to deepen the cooperation.
Now that Fan Lao has personally called, Li Linfei reckons that the military should have the next step to take, but what exactly it is is unknown.
"Remember clearly, I have the goods ready, ready to be handed over at any time." Li Linfei said, he had been more cautious in his dealings with the military.
Now the military was an umbrella for Future Technology, Li Linfei wouldn't just drop them.
"That's good, that's good."
Old man Fan said, "This time, old man I am going to come to your company for a tour and visit, no problem, right?"
"You're coming, Fan Lao? That's very welcome!"
Li Linfei froze, and then hurriedly said enthusiastically.
"Haha, don't say welcome with your mouth but scold me in your heart for coming to rub your nose in it."
"No, I don't. Do I look like the kind of person who is afraid of being rubbed out?"
Li Linfei said, "So, Fan Lao, when will you arrive today?"
"I'm coming by warplane, I can arrive before noon?" Fan Lao said.
Catching a ride in a warplane, not many people in all of China had such a privilege, but as the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, Elder Fan naturally had this right.
"Good."
The two spoke on the phone for a while longer before hanging up.
Li Linfei got up, brushed his teeth and washed his face and went to the office after eating breakfast.
When he arrived at the office, Li Linfei listened to Wang Nini's report and picked up a list to browse through.
From eight o'clock yesterday morning to eight o'clock this morning, within twenty-four hours, the number of mobile phone orders on the internet had increased by more than one million.
The number of mobile phones sold in physical shops, on the other hand, sold one and a half million units. Without even mentioning the previous orders, yesterday's one-day sales alone, the turnover of the entire China region, broke more than eight billion.
If we can continue, the mobile phone turnover of Future Technology in March will be several hundred billion rmb.
This in the previous all mobile phone manufacturers, are absolutely impossible, even Apple, mobile phones, computers and other various services combined, the highest monthly sales only more than 100 billion, and still global release, many channels.
However, Future Technology's Super Generation One, Super Generation Two, and Transparent Phone, are the ones that have this ability to break the pattern of the times.
Because of their charm, they are so powerful that all those who have used the phones can't help but fall in love with them.
There are even claims on the internet that the minimum pricing for the Super Generation phone series is actually supposed to be above 10,000RMB, because it is so perfectly functional that it is more powerful than a computer.
But it is sold at a minimum of 2,000 RMB, so what reason is there for those cool consumers to refuse to like this phone?
