Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Machine Tool Trial Run Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Machine Tool Trial Run “Let’s save so resources first. Even if I unlock the Space Carrier now, we can’t manufacture it,” He Xingzhou decided to use the simplified design draft.
“We should take a look at the machine tools.”
…
At the Beijing Machine Tool Research Institute, several brand-new CNC machine tools have been assembled, incorporating the efforts of top national chanical engineers and machine tool research experts, along with He Xingzhou’s improvents and the designed CNC system, making it the highest-performing machine tool in Shen Zhou to date.
Today, the Machine Tool Research Institute was exceptional!
Since a few days ago when machine tool parts started being transported here, soldiers have been stationed around to patrol and prevent anyone from approaching.
Outside the institute, a Military Departnt’s ard helicopter landed, and several soldiers in military uniforms disembarked.
Leading them was one of the Xuanwu Executive Officers, He Hongwei.
Machine tools are related to the national industrial manufacturing capacity; how could he not be concerned?
Accompanying him were generals from the Military Departnt and Academicians from the Military Academy of Sciences!
Not long after they entered the institute, a Jeep drove into the academy, and He Xingzhou arrived.
In the institute’s lobby, everyone had been waiting for a long ti.
“Comrade He Xingzhou, hello!” He Hongwei stepped forward to salute first and then shook hands.
He Xingzhou smiled, “General He, are you also here to observe our trial run today?”
He Hongwei said, “Of course, this machine tool is of great importance. Once the trial run is successful, we can imdiately start manufacturing thousands of parts or weapons that were previously impossible to produce.”
“Not just , everyone from the Military Departnt and the Military Academy of Sciences places great importance on these machine tools!”
“Shall we start then?” He Xingzhou said.
“We’ve been ready for a while!” Lu Jianye and other experts hurriedly replied.
In the testing area, they had already installed the machine tools, including several types, such as lathes, drilling machines, boring machines, grinding machines, gear processing machines, and thread processing machines, among others.
So contain multiple functional areas, all controlled by a CNC system.
He Xingzhou introduced, “Different machine tools have different functions. This whole set here is for manufacturing electromagnetic levitation motors, and it can basically et all the manufacturing needs for electromagnetic levitation motor parts.”
“Hmm,” He Hongwei carefully examined these machines, all tallic structures, sharp blades, pointed drill bits, electric saws, electric cones, electric needles, etc., all crafted from special tals.
Just the different processing tools alone amounted to over a hundred!
Additionally, there were laser, arc, and other processing modules to assist with the manufacturing!
These machines, yet to be started, seed like soldiers ready to be deployed, standing firm at their posts.
“Prepare materials and start manufacturing!” He Xingzhou declared.
“Starting the operation!” Lu Jianye shouted with his aged voice, the researchers had already prepared the materials and adjusted the processing programs, and started up the various CNC machines.
Nearly a hundred people were crowded around the workshop, waiting for these industrial mother machines to start!
“Thump thump… clang clang… sizzle sizzle…” Various sounds of chanical processing began to rise. Normally, they would wear earplugs to block out these noises.
But now, no one considered them noise; instead, they felt it was the most beautiful music in the world!
“Electromagnetic stator core manufacturing begins!” reported the operator.
“Magnetic levitation bearings manufacturing begins!”
“Heat dissipation module manufacturing begins!”
“Motor casing manufacturing begins!”
“Motor fan blade manufacturing begins!”
“Motor rotor manufacturing begins!”
…
All the machine tools were started, various raw materials were fed into the feed ports, starting the processing!
He Hongwei watched the machine manufacturing the magnetic levitation bearings; bearings are crucial for the motor, affecting the chanical rotor and friction of the electromagnetic levitation motor and requiring extrely high precision.
A piece of special tal entered the processing area, and a chanical arm of the machine tool extended, its front end equipped with a special steel cutter!
The machine tool blade began working. The hard special tal, like tofu, was milled and reshaped by the cutter blade.
It didn’t stop there; another chanical arm extended, equipped with a drill bit, drilling holes into the tal block.
At the sa ti, a high-speed rotating grinder was polishing, multiple chanical arms worked in coordination, dazzling those who watched.
“It’s beautiful!” Lu Jianye, enraptured by the sight of the machine tool processing, said, “So many components working together, orderly! This scene, it’s like a piece of art!”
“Multi-axis linkage, fine processing!” praised one expert, “Just this processing thod and speed alone, surpass all the machine tools we’ve researched before!”
He Xingzhou remained silent; now wasn’t the ti to prove anything, they had to wait till everything was processed.
Since they were only manufacturing a few samples of magnetic levitation motors, the processing speed was very fast; on average, it took less than twenty seconds to process a part!
“These tal blocks haven’t even realized, and they’ve already been processed into finished products!” He Hongwei joked.
“Motor casing manufacturing complete!” an operator reported.
“Motor fan blade manufacturing complete!” reports continued to arise.
“Magnetic levitation bearing manufacturing complete!”
“Motor end cap manufacturing complete!”
…
All components of the magnetic levitation motor had been manufactured.
“Imdiately check the processing precision, strength, speed, then assemble and test!” He Xingzhou instructed.
Researchers imdiately set to work, testing each part and recording data.
Their efficiency was very high, and soon a comprehensive report had been generated.
Lu Jianye received the report and personally relayed it; although his voice was old, it was exceptionally powerful now, even trembling.
“The processing precision has reached 0.1 micron level, which is a hundred tis better than our previous 10 microns precision!”
Lu Jianye’s voice grew even louder; he was now resonating from his chest and was trembling.
“The spindle speed of the machine tool has exceeded 100,000 rotations per minute, which is four tis higher than our best machine tool before!”
His eyes reddened, and He Xingzhou noticed that tears also sparkled in the eyes of other machine tool researchers.
Ordinary people may not understand their emotions; many here have been chasing machine tool technology since the 1960s and have fought for it all their lives!
Now that dawn is about to break, even the toughest n and the most resilient won find it hard to contain the release of their emotions.
“The dinsions, stability, rigidity, strength, and other properties of the parts all et the operation standards! And they perform better than the parts we previously had custom-made abroad!”
“The CNC system is performing stably; no problems have been found yet.”
…
“The assembled magnetic levitation motor is operating well; preliminary assessnt suggests it can be installed for operation!”
When Lu Jianye finished reading the report contents, the site was silent for three seconds, then erupted into thunderous applause and cheers.
“Clap clap clap!” Everyone clapped with all their might, so usually composed and steady researchers, were now excitedly screaming and jumping around!
