"It's natural to cultivate reserve talents first, but sending out hundreds of people at once seems a bit too much, right?" Although Ye Kai thinks the machine tool factory's idea is advisable, there is no need to send so many people.
Are you going out to hunt wolves?
"It's not like we're all going to be sent out at once. In that case, all the backbone of the machine tool factory will be freed up..." Director Sun Jingwen explained, "We have also formulated a five-year plan and sent out about 20 people every year for rotation training.
To ensure that we do not fall behind technologically and can keep up with the best foreign standards in a timely manner.”
Ye Kai listened and nodded.
He had just been shocked by this training plan for hundreds of people. After all, it was just a prefecture-level enterprise. If it had the ability to send hundreds of people to study abroad at once, it would probably have a huge impact across the country.
And, how much will it cost?
Of course, there are many accompanying questions, such as which country to study in? Which company is willing to accept these people?
"When it comes to manufacturing, Germany is obviously the first choice." Sun Jingwen said.
The development process of domestic machine tools can be roughly divided into two periods.
There was a period before 1979. At that time, due to the lack of understanding of the characteristics and development conditions of CNC machine tools, poor quality of personnel, weak foundation, and substandard supporting equipment, there was a rush up and down, three ups and downs.
Eventually, due to poor performance, the machine tools produced could not be used for production and came to a halt.
After 1979, with the support of policies, advanced CNC machine tool technology was introduced from Japan, Germany, the United States, Italy, Spain and other countries and joint ventures and cooperation were carried out. Reliability and stability problems were solved, and CNC machine tools began to be officially produced and used.
and gradually move forward.
It is undeniable that in these years, domestic CNC machine tool design and manufacturing technology have been greatly improved. Through the cooperative production of advanced CNC machine tools, the design, manufacturing and use levels have been greatly improved. The gap with the advanced technology in the metal processing world has been narrowed. Through
The use of foreign advanced components and CNC systems to meet the needs of the domestic market. However, the testing, digestion, mastery and innovation of key technologies are poor.
So far, many important functional components, automated cutting tools, and CNC systems rely on foreign technical support and cannot develop independently. They are still in the stage of moving from introduction to self-development. Not to mention self-designed and manufactured high-speed, high-performance, five-sided or five-axis linkage processing.
CNC machine tools.
Talking about the relationship between technology introduction and independent innovation, Sun Jingwen, director of the Municipal Machine Tool Factory, said with deep emotion, "Technology introduction is necessary at a certain stage, but it must be adapted to its own R&D capabilities. The core technology and key components are
If you can't bring it in, you still have to rely on yourself in the final analysis. Without your own technology and brand, you will never be able to straighten your waist!"
Regarding Sun Jingwen's words, Yan Qingshan, secretary of the factory party committee, also has a very clear understanding. He also said that there is no bargain in the world. The real core technology cannot be acquired. Now developed countries and multinational companies are paying more and more attention to technology protection.
To safeguard its own interests, the domestic machine tool industry is facing increasingly serious intellectual property barriers.
Ye Kai listened to their ideas very carefully. He also knew that for many domestic companies, technology dependence is far more profound and difficult to get rid of than capital dependence, and market dependence.
Looking at domestic industrial development, many still follow the gradient transfer model of industrial technology, and technological development is mainly based on tracking and imitation.
"Tracking technology cannot be developed into an industry, and the core technologies of the industry, especially cutting-edge and strategic high technologies, cannot be introduced." Sun Jingwen said, "If we blindly follow and imitate, it will further widen the gap between our country and the world's advanced level. , and will eventually form technological dependence."
In fact, for CNC machine tools, programming is trivial. The core criterion for the quality of digital machine tools is machining accuracy. Everything is in service of machining accuracy. The current machining accuracy of domestic CNC machine tools is higher than that of German machine tools. , there is indeed a big gap, and it is not easy to catch up or even surpass it.
Therefore, the first choice for Sun Jingwen and others to study was naturally the German CNC machine tool manufacturing industry.
"Eat some more watermelon..."
At this time, an old man with all white hair came over on a tricycle, pulling a dozen large watermelons behind him.
"Liu Gong..."
Factory director Sun Jingwen and secretary Yan Qingshan stood up when they saw the old man.
"Enter the guests, entertain the guests." The old man said with a smile, "Who is Mayor Ye? I have to thank you in person."
"Oh?" Ye Kai was stunned after hearing this, not knowing what he meant.
"Liu Gong's son was one of the seriously injured. He is recovering well now. If he had not been sent to the hospital in time, he might not have survived," Sun Jingwen explained.
"This is Mayor Ye..." The old man was a little surprised when he saw such a young mayor, but he still walked over and bowed to him.
"I don't dare to do this..." Ye Kai was shocked when he saw this and quickly helped the old man.
"If Mayor Ye hadn't come to the rescue, our old Liu family would have been extinct." The old man said gratefully.
The old man was the chief engineer of the original factory, and many of the leaders were apprentices brought out by him. He has rich experience in technology. Although he is retired now, he occasionally participates in important meetings in the factory as a consultant. Give them some reference points.
This Liugong was very powerful and even participated in the "two bombs and one satellite" project that year.
“At that time, our technical strength, both in terms of the number of personnel and the level of technical equipment, was far inferior to that of the Soviet Union and the United States. However, our time from the explosion of the atomic bomb to the breakthrough of hydrogen bomb technology was shorter than that of the Soviet Union and the United States. Much more." Liu Gong said, "Later I also reflected on it and believed that one of the most critical reasons was that there was real technological democracy at that time."
The old man said that because at that time, reactionary academic authority was being criticized, and newspapers were full of articles severely criticizing various management and academic censorship styles. Therefore, almost no one dared to claim authority and Laozi within the research team. A highly democratic atmosphere has developed, where students who have just graduated from university and senior scientists can debate together. Sometimes they stay up all night arguing about technical issues, and even bang the table.
Even veteran scientists like the founder of the two bombs often participated in table-breaking debates with young boys. Such full academic democracy has brought about rapid progress in ideas and technology, not only speeding up the speed of technological progress, but also The process also accelerated the growth process of the technical echelon.
The old man also mentioned that due to the general equality of relationships among people at that time, many social and class barriers essentially disappeared. Some old workers also participated in table-beating discussions, and they were able to brainstorm on many detailed issues and process obstacles. As a result,
This makes the entire project process relatively balanced, rather than being limited to the first breakthrough in key technologies, which avoids failures caused by intermediate details in subsequent tests.
Therefore, the experiments of many projects at that time were almost always a success. All problems and hidden dangers were often fully understood and paid attention to in the technical democracy, and many plans and designs were made in advance.
"The academic democratic atmosphere in our machine tool factory is also relatively strong, which was brought about by Liugong..." Sun Jingwen, a son of the factory, said, "Although the funds in the factory are not very abundant, they are not very suitable for technological transformation.
We have always tried our best to provide support, and the rewards for employees who come up with key design ideas and technical transformation are also the best."
"Of course, there were some special circumstances at that time..." the old man recalled, "At that time, no matter what kind of research institution it was, no matter how much effort they spent on the latest results, all they had to do was bring a letter of introduction.
, as long as they comply with confidentiality regulations, all their latest results will be presented to you unconditionally without any reservations, thus avoiding a lot of duplication in technical research and greatly improving efficiency."
Ye Kai nodded after hearing this. Some situations under the special system still have some positive meanings.
After all, if technological innovation is related to potential market interests, it certainly needs to be kept secret. Even if it is only related to personal professional titles and academic status evaluation, the relevant personnel must have the need to hide their secrets.
However, in the country at that time, all private concepts were thoroughly criticized, and many evaluation systems that helped consolidate private concepts were destroyed, so people were able to open up their income to the public in an unprecedented way.
In this way, as long as any research institute or researcher in the country makes a technological breakthrough, other related personnel or projects will no longer have to duplicate work and can share the latest technological achievements at no cost.
However, from the current point of view, it is a bit inappropriate to do so in the past. Since the transformation to a market economy, patented technology is also the fruit of labor. Naturally, it must comply with economic laws and reflect its own value. Unconditionally depriving others of the fruits of labor.
This goes against the mainstream trend.
Ye Kai talked for a long time with the leadership and worker representatives at the city machine tool factory before finally saying goodbye and leaving.
"Boss, it's quite fun in the company." Secretary Tang Mu sat in the car and turned around and said to Ye Kai.
"Hmm." Ye Kai nodded, thinking that he ate a cartful of big watermelons from the old man today, so he must do something to be able to explain the past.
Moreover, if a municipal machine tool factory can be established, it will be of great benefit to both the public and private sectors.
Domestic high-end CNC machine tools have never been very good, and the machining accuracy has never been improved. If Dongshan Machine Tool Factory can take the lead in making a breakthrough, it will definitely be a very good thing.
Therefore, he quickly thought that some of the things he had obtained from Russia through Zhong Liyu should be useful at this time. Even if they wanted to study in Germany or something, the East China Shen Yun Base could also provide help.
