The selection was carried out for four days, after four days, fifteen workers stood out, all of them are the top talents in the factory, the oldest is Ma Ming, this year is only thirty-three years old, the youngest is a college student who graduated two years ago, only twenty-five years old, these people will be sent to Andrews company for a year of study and work, of course, their living expenses are borne by the North Industries Group, each person abroad will have two thousand marks per month of living expenses, and the domestic salary will continue to be paid to their families, during the Spring Festival, they also have ten days of vacation for them, and the travel expenses are all paid by the company, Such a generous treatment makes everyone very hot, but as long as they have the ability, there will be such opportunities in the future.

These fifteen people also have to go to the capital to participate in a two-month intensive German training, try to improve the German level within two months, of course, they are not Liu Lang, it is impossible to learn a language in two months, at least they have to understand the reading of this language, fortunately they go to the factory, not the school, although the language of the two countries is not comprehensible, but the process is still the same, in addition to Liu Lang in Germany will also hire local students to tutor them every day.

On the surface, it seems that only fifteen people go to Germany to study, which seems to be not expensive, but in fact, the expenditure is more than everyone imagined, so Liu Lang has asked Wang Zhendong to prepare an office of NORINCO Group in Germany, where two employees are stationed to coordinate everything.

After the matter was decided, the fifteen people did not hesitate, and immediately rushed to the capital, Liu Lang had already asked the people in the capital office to contact the foreign Chinese university, and they would receive two months of fully closed study.

First language learning, and then to work in Germany, this pressure is actually greater than they are in the country, this is the challenge, dare to accept the challenge is the first step, the next step is to complete the challenge, they also know how heavy the burden is, if they successfully complete, back to the company will be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and even become a leader, and then the company's senior experts, accompanied by huge wealth, wealth is only one aspect, the key is the role of the company, Liu Lang told them, as long as they can learn the other party's technology, even if it is only fifty percent, it is a great credit for the company, The future life and death of the company is in their hands, even Liu Lang said so, they even have a sense of mission, and feel that if they can't fulfill their expectations, they will have no face to come back, so these fifteen all have the belief of "seeing death as home", and if they don't succeed, they will become benevolent!

These fifteen "strong men" for the honor and future of the North Industries Group to Germany, others of course have to work hard, this year's task is really a lot, in addition to completing the task issued at the beginning of the year also have to produce multiple models of parts for Andrews company, but Liu Lang has to do more work, the Ministry of Industry to hold a national CNC machine tool downstream industry work deployment meeting in Fucheng, when Jiang Botao will come in person, at the same time more than 30 large-scale enterprises in the country will come to the meeting.

It turned out that when the Ministry of Industry organized a meeting in Fucheng, many enterprises did not care much, thinking that Fucheng was too small, and NORINCO Group did not have pillar industrial products, and could not support the heavy responsibility given to him by an industry, to put it bluntly, they looked down on them, but now it is different, the birth of "Exploration No. 1" has made NORINCO Group the most dazzling star enterprise in the country, regardless of what "Eighteen Arhats" Or large state-owned enterprises, they are obedient, you don't accept it, the machinery industry is like this, who can make more advanced equipment who is a cow, don't think that I am a large state-owned enterprise with more than 1,000 people, than who is more, so many people can not do a CNC machine tool is not ashamed?

They are really not ashamed, to tell the truth, the North Industries Group manufactured the first domestic machine tool caused a nationwide heated discussion, people in the praise after there are some other voices, one of the views is why this first domestic machine tool is a private enterprise to manufacture? Why not Shencheng Machine Tool Factory? Why not Jinling Machine Tool Factory? Why not Hankou Machine Tool Factory? Isn't there a famous "Eighteen Arhats" in our country? Why did these 18 machine tool factories not manufacture?

The so-called "eighteen arhats" refers to the eighteen basic machine tool enterprises established at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, these eighteen machine tool factories were famous in the early days of New China, each leading the way, and made great contributions to the development of China's industrial manufacturing.

For example, the No. 1 Machine Tool Factory in Shencheng is called the Luohan of the Descending Dragon; the No. 1 Machine Tool Factory in Harbin City is called the Tanshou Arhat; the No. 2 Machine Tool Factory in Shencheng is called the Arhat of Zalu; the No. 3 Machine Tool Factory in Shencheng is called the Arhat of Lifting Bowls; and the No. 1 Machine Tool Factory in the Capital is called the Arhat of Crossing the River.

From the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China to the end of the seventies, these eighteen machine tool factories are definitely the big brother of the domestic machine tool industry, and even in the early seventies, some machine tool factories began to develop automated lathes, which can actually be listed as CNC machine tools, but later for various reasons did not finally succeed, but also trained a large number of industrial workers.

Many people wonder why these powerful machine tool factories have not manufactured CNC machine tools in western developed countries.

The real reason is only people in the industry to understand, the so-called automatic lathe is not too difficult, but the key is to achieve what precision, as well as the accuracy of the control system, to manufacture a tractor bearing is the same as to manufacture a car bearing?

The radius of the drill bit of "Exploration No. 1" is only 0.5 millimeters, and the deviation range is about 0.1 millimeter, which is almost smaller than the diameter of a human hair, this kind of precision makes everyone feel suffocated, and the control system of "Exploration No. 1" is quite powerful, which can achieve 360 degrees of operation without dead angles, and theoretically can manufacture any bearing with a regular shape.

Precision and powerful control is the root of CNC machine tools, it seems easy, but the technology behind it is too complex, materials, grinding processes, design, etc., etc., in short, it is too complicated, anyway, it can't be made.

It is precisely because the experts are very difficult to manufacture and solve CNC machine tools, so when NORINCO made the "Exploration No. 1", many people did not believe it, thinking that the other party was a liar and was fooling the layman, but with the development of time, especially the Ministry of Industry brought the "Exploration No. 1" to the capital, so that those experts could see and touch the machine tool with their own eyes.

It was only then that they really confirmed that this was true, even if the chip was a foreign product, but the design and technology contained in it were completely localized, which was fundamentally different from Western machine tools, and this technology convinced them completely.
