Ge Yafei looked a little more stupid than Tang Zifeng imagined, about 1.7 meters tall, a little young at the top of his head, wearing a pair of thick myopic glasses, and speaking very slowly, a bit like the sound card chip overheating.

"Your name is Ge Yafei?"

"Yes. ”

"Graduated from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Tsinghua University?"

"Yes. ”

"Worked as a postdoc in Massachusetts?"

"Yes. ”

"Have you worked in a machine tool company in the United States?"

"Yes. ”

"Mr. Ge, uh, why don't I call you Senior Brother Ge, okay?"

"Yes. ”

The dialogue between Tang Zifeng and Ge Yafei was suffocating from the beginning. Of course, Tang Zifeng could also see that the other party was not trying to put a shelf in front of him, in fact, Ge Yafei's expression had always been very cramped, and he didn't know how to put his hands together. He cherishes words like gold, which is completely due to his personality, so that Tang Zifeng almost can't find an entry point if he wants to set up a trap with him.

"I heard that when you were in the United States, you worked on heavy-duty crankshaft machines?"

Tang Zifeng made a detour for a long time, and finally decided to go straight to the point and began to learn about technical issues from Ge Yafei.

Hearing this topic, Ge Yafei relaxed a little, he nodded, and said, "I have been in contact, and it is not particularly in-depth." ”

"Can you tell me about the specific situation?" asked Tang Zifeng.

Ge Yafei thought for a while and said: "Actually, things are very simple, after graduating from Massachusetts with a doctorate, I went to a large machine tool company in the United States. When I went, the company happened to receive an order from the U.S. Navy to provide a heavy-duty crankshaft machining machine for the Navy's shipyard, and the company put me in charge. ”

"What does it mean to be responsible?"

"Responsible...... , just let me be the chief engineer of the project. ”

"That's what you said you had contacted, but not particularly deeply?" It is said that humility is a virtue, but you can't be humble to this extent, right?

Ge Yafei said very seriously: "I really haven't been in deep enough contact. This project has been working for two years, we have just completed an initial design, and many areas have not had time to be optimized, the Navy has cancelled the project, and then we have not done it again. ”

"I see. Tang Zifeng understood. Tsinghua people's requirements for technology are indeed very high, only to complete an initial design, without time to optimize, in Ge Yafei's view, it belongs to the half-baked level, can only be said to have been contacted, can not be said to be very proficient.

But Tang Zifeng is not from Tsinghua University. In the past month or so, he has talked to many engineers about crankshaft machine tools, including Qin Zhongnian and Xiao Wenjun. All of them said that they had never touched a heavy-duty crankshaft machine, but an ordinary crankshaft machine tool had done it. The workpiece processed by an ordinary crankshaft machine tool is a few hundred kilograms at most, while the heavy-duty crankshaft machine tool of the shipping company Kangzhi Chaoyao requires that it can process a workpiece weighing up to 180 tons, which is a completely different thing.

Commissioned by Tang Zifeng, Xiao Wenjun has begun to collect and read the literature on heavy-duty crankshaft machine tools, according to her, the number of documents in this area is very small, and when it comes to key technologies, it is often vague, and can only guess the design ideas of the other party from some clues. Xiao Wenjun said that if she is to be responsible for the design of heavy-duty crankshaft machine tools, she must be given at least two years to accumulate relevant knowledge, and it is still impossible to predict how long the subsequent design time will take.

And this nerd brother in front of him, as the chief engineer, actually did the development of heavy-duty crankshaft machine tools, and reached the level of completing the initial design, which is at least more than five years ahead of other engineers in China, such a baby, not to mention a three-bedroom house, even if a fixed parking space is added, Tang Zifeng will definitely not stumble.

"Dr. Ge, what is the trick to the design of this CNC heavy-duty crankshaft machine?"

Guan Yong, an engineer from the Canglong Research Institute who accompanied Tang Zifeng to meet with Ge Yafei, spoke. Tang Zifeng couldn't figure out the technical things, so he gave Guan Yong carte blanche to take the examination for Ge Yafei. Guan Yong has never seen a heavy-duty crankshaft machine tool, but he is from a machine tool design background, and he can still understand the basic concepts.

"The trick?" Ge Yafei thought for three minutes before shaking his head and saying, "There's no trick either." In fact, this kind of machine tool is larger, and the whole structure is nothing more than a bed, headstock, chuck, tailstock, turning tool holder, cyclone tool holder, hydraulic system, electrical and numerical control system, and other machine tools. By the way, there is also a crane, which is used to adjust the workpiece and the steady rest...... Why, didn't I make it clear? Mm-hmm, or I'll draw you a diagram. ”

As he spoke, he took out a notebook from his bag, took out a pen, and then drew a structural diagram on the notebook, explaining as he drew it:

"You see, a heavy-duty crankshaft machine has two different beds, one we call the workpiece bed, and the other is called the tool holder bed. The steady rest and tailstock are mounted on the workpiece bed and can be moved back and forth, while the turning tool holder and cyclone tool holder are mounted on the tool holder bed and can also be moved back and forth......"

Guan Yong stared at Ge Yafei's drawing, nodded his head, and from time to time pointed somewhere with his finger, asking a question or two about technical details. Tang Zifeng could understand it at first, but when there were more things piled up on the picture, he couldn't understand it, so he didn't bother to think about it, just enjoying Ge Yafei's performance.

He found that when it came to technical issues, Ge Yafei was not as wooden as he was just now, and his eyes were somewhat bright. Of course, compared with liberal arts students like Li Kejia and Bao Nana, calling the performance in Ge Yafei's eyes is simply insulting. People's eyes are like a pool of spring water, and Ge Yafei's eyes are like a heated asphalt pool, which freezes without paying attention.

Well, this may also be a state of engineer, such a person can sit on the cold bench, with ten years of sharpening a sword, to make a machine tool with excellent performance.

"Director Tang, Dr. Ge's technology is really amazing. I think I can believe that I asked him to be the chief engineer of the recurve machine tool for us. ”

After communicating with Ge Yafei for more than ten minutes, Guan Yong sincerely recommended it to Tang Zifeng. The connoisseur stretched out his hand, and he knew if there was any, Ge Yafei had no trick in the design of the self-weighing machine, but casually said that it was something that Guan Yong didn't expect, in fact, it was the trick in the design. The reason why he doesn't think these things are tricks is because he knows too much about these technologies, and he always thinks that others should also know that his own things are nothing.

"That's good. Tang Zifeng nodded, got down to business, and said to Ge Yafei: "Senior Brother Ge, I guess Mr. Huo also told you what we meant when he asked you to come over, right? We have an institution called Canglong Research Institute, which is jointly established by 20 of the largest machine tool enterprises in China, and is considered a joint-stock enterprise. We are now in a hurry to recruit a group of talented people to undertake the development of several important machine tools.

"We asked you to come here because we heard that you have a high level of achievement in heavy-duty crankshaft machine tools. I don't understand what Guan Gong talked to you about just now, but I know that you must be very professional and meet our requirements.

"Now, then, it's your turn. Are you willing to come to work in our Canglong Research Institute, and if you are willing to come, what are the requirements for treatment?"

The teacher Huo he said is Xiao Wenjun's mentor, and of course Ge Yafei's mentor. This gentleman's name is Huo Ronghai, a professor of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Tsinghua University, a well-known machine tool expert in China, and when Qin Zhongnian mentioned him, he was respectful. This time, Tang Zifeng brought a message to Ge Yafei through Huo Ronghai and asked him to come over to meet, which actually meant some interviews. Now that the interview is over, Tang Zifeng preliminarily plans to accept Ge Yafei, of course, he has to listen to what conditions Ge Yafei will offer.

Hearing Tang Zifeng's question, Ge Yafei was suddenly a little embarrassed, and he hesitated for a while before he said: "Actually, when I came back to China, I mainly wanted to find a university, teach students, and engage in research or something. Is your research institute an enterprise editor or a career editor?"

Tang Zifeng shrugged his shoulders and said: "There is definitely no career editor, and the enterprise editor is not the official editor of a state-owned enterprise." Soryuin is a joint-stock enterprise and has no establishment. ”

"Oh......" Ge Yafei replied, and the asphalt began to freeze, revealing a bitter cold.

"However, if Dr. Ge is willing to join, we can provide a monthly salary of no less than 8,000 yuan. ”

"Huh?" the asphalt flowed again, and it was clear that there was some attraction to the income.

"The headquarters of our institute is in Linhe City, Dong Ye Province, and if Dr. Ge is willing to work in Linhe, he can be allocated a 160-square-meter house as soon as he goes. ”

"Dongye?" Ge Yafei frowned, shook his head slightly, and said, "I still hope to be able to work in the capital." I'm sorry, Don......"

"My name is Tang Zifeng. Tang Zifeng introduced himself, in fact, they had already introduced each other when they met.

Guan Yong added for Tang Zifeng: "Director Tang is the executive deputy director of Linhe No. 1 Machine Tool Factory, presiding over the work. ”

"Uh-huh, Director Tang. Ge Yafei found the right way to call him and said, "As far as I am concerned, it doesn't matter if I am in the capital or go to Dongye. But the reason I came back was to take better care of my parents, who were both older and not in good health.

"My hometown is from Changhua Province, and my parents are used to life in the north, so it is not a big problem to come to the capital. But if you go to Dongye, I'm worried that they won't adapt to the climate in the south. ”

"I see. Tang Zifeng pretended to be embarrassed, thought for a while, and then said: "We also have a branch in the capital, and some research is done here. But if you want to stay in the capital to do research, there is no problem with the salary, and the housing is ......."
