Mr. Sun chose the site of the Dongfang Machinery Factory on a river beach five miles away from the Pig Coop Walled City.

It was originally an abandoned warehouse, which was bought by Feinan, and with the help of the Jingwu brothers, it was converted into the original factory.

Today is the most important day for the Dongfang Machinery Factory, because the first sample of the 3-ton pedal press will roll off the production line today.

Last night, Mr. Sun came to the factory, personally stared at the installation of the equipment, and did not close his eyes all night.

At half past eleven in the morning, the finished press was finally assembled.

Bin Bucheng, who was covered in oil, looked at the rough press in front of him and burst into tears with excitement.

If the press test is successful, then it will be a sign of a major leap forward for the country's basic industry!

Ignoring his exhaustion, he commanded his assistant to start the diesel engine and turn on the press.

The engine roared, he stepped on the pedal lever, the piston rod went down, and the press began to work.

It's done!

It's moving!

He looked excitedly at Mr. Sun and Fei Nan on the side, and shouted, "It's a success!

Mr. Sun was also excited, and Fei Nan calmly reminded: "Put the workpiece and try it to see how it works." ”

Bin Bucheng realized that he forgot to put the workpiece in his excitement.

Hurriedly loosening the pedal bar, he asked his assistant to take the iron bar that had been prepared to burn aside, and put it on the workbench.

He then stepped on the pedal lever again, and the piston rod continued to work, driving the pressure hammer to smash against the iron bar.

The iron bars become as soft as noodles under the heavy mechanical force of the press, and they are allowed to deform when they are beaten.

This situation proves once and for all that the press was built successfully!

At this moment, everyone jumped up with excitement and cheered loudly.

During this time, they worked day and night, working overtime, and finally succeeded!

Mr. Sun excitedly instructed the guards: "Go and send invitations! Invite all the bosses of Shanghai's machinery factories to visit! We also have our own presses!"

The next day, the owners of the machinery factories who received the invitations were invited to come one after another, all wanting to see with their own eyes what the presses designed and produced by the Chinese people looked like.

In fact, the manufacture of this press is not the strength of Dongfang Machinery Factory, but the manufacturing strength of all machinery factories in Shanghai.

The 12-horsepower diesel engine of the press was imitated by Hongchang Machinery Shipyard three years ago, the motor was successfully imitated by Huasheng Electric Appliance Manufacturing Factory three years ago, and the relay switch was made by Huatong Electric Machinery Factory, which was just established last year.

There are also lathes, drilling machines, and planers used to make flywheels, sliders, guide rails, workbenches, and fuselages, which are also imitated by Wang Yueji Machinery Factory, Taiji Machinery Factory, and Fengtai Machinery Factory.

As for the connecting rods, nuts and other accessories, they are also selected from the products of the local machinery factory in Shanghai.

Only the single-stage centrifugal pump was made by Fei Nan and Bin Bucheng together.

Therefore, this press is a completely domestic mechanical equipment, which contains extraordinary significance.

This is different from using a 1-to-1 manual imitation of a press, which can only be made in small batches, just like the existing machine factory, and there is no wave.

Use the existing domestic machinery to make a serious press, which shows that you can rely on the existing domestic machinery to piece together a complete press production line!

The owner of the machinery factory who came to visit was more excited than Bin Bucheng, and the press can be said to be the key equipment related to the production capacity of basic industrial equipment.

The emergence of this press represents that the Chinese people have officially broken through the technological blockade of the West and have the possibility of developing their own basic industries!

Moreover, this press is not a large 1,000-ton press imported from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, but a small press with only 3 tons.

The kind of large thousand-ton presses are generally used to make cannons, ship parts, and even if they are taken out, these small machine factories will not be able to use them, let alone them.

This small 3-ton press is smaller, more practical and helps them to produce existing small mechanical parts, which they naturally prefer relatively speaking.

With this kind of small press, they can mass-produce their own machinery and equipment, and the production efficiency will be increased by many times, so how can they not be excited?

Therefore, after seeing the finished product, all the bosses immediately placed an order to book the press, and said that they could transfer the goods as soon as they needed any equipment support.

As the factory director, Bin Bucheng thanked everyone for their support on behalf of Dongfang Machinery Factory and apologized.

Because the presses that the Oriental Machinery Factory began to produce would not be sold to the outside world, because they had to rely on these presses to build their own production lines.

However, after the production line is built, Dongfang will officially sell the press to the outside world, and that time will not be too long.

Subsequently, Mr. Sun came forward and invited all the bosses present to jointly establish the Shanghai Machinery Trade Union, and everyone responded happily.

Soon, the news that the Dongfang Machinery Factory produced the first purely domestic press spread and spread.

Newspapers with a keen sense of smell immediately sent reporters to find the Oriental Machinery Factory and wanted to conduct an interview.

As the factory director, Bin Bucheng accepted an interview with reporters.

But for the sake of secrecy, he did not let the reporter take pictures of the press, but only let him see the work of the press with his own eyes.

But even so, after the reporter went back, he wrote a passionate article.

The reporter apparently had learned about the position of the press in the basic industrial equipment from professionals, and praised the Dongfang Machinery Factory in the article, portraying the Dongfang Machinery Factory as the pride of the national industry and a heroic enterprise that broke the blockade of Western technology.

With the spread of the newspapers, many people who did not understand what a press was, also knew that an Oriental Machinery Factory had built a device called a press.

In the past, only foreigners could make this kind of equipment, but now Chinese people can also make it themselves, which makes the people excited.

But Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and this article has ushered in countless praises for the Oriental Machinery Factory, but it has also caused some trouble invisibly.

After the first sample rolled off the production line, the Dongfang Machinery Factory was immediately put into intense production.

The factory is lit day and night, and the rumbling of machines and the sound of metal forging is incessant.

If it weren't for the fact that the factory was far away from residential areas, I don't know how much swearing it would have to attract behind my back.

Because the equipment involved secrets, Mr. Sun and Bin Bucheng did not dare to recruit more people, and the workers in the factory were still served by the brothers and sisters of Jingwumen.

However, they have no opinion, and Mr. Sun's salary for them is not low, because they are all mechanized assembly lines, except for a few positions, most of the positions are relatively easy.

The work is not tiring, and there is a high salary, and they are all very happy.

They have adopted a shift system, divided into three shifts, one shift to work, one shift to security, one shift to rest, and so on.

That night, when the brothers in charge of security were chatting, they suddenly found a few sneaky people.

They came forward to interrogate them, but the men ran away.

But how could those few people outrun the senior brothers of the Jingwu Sect, they didn't run far before they were chased and pressed to the ground.

What shocked the brothers and sisters was that they actually found fire oil and ignition on their bodies!
