After several months of hard work, the second watch was developed, but it was still unsatisfactory, this time it was able to wear it on the hand, but the case was too thick, two centimeters thick, like a metal cylinder, and they didn't even have their own aesthetics, so they didn't dare to ask Yang Wenli to accept, so they had to continue to improve.

The accuracy of the timekeeping has also improved considerably, reaching the level of a difference of a few minutes a week, which is basically a practical standard.

However, there is still a lot of room for improvement, in fact, reducing the size of the watch is also a qualitative improvement in the accuracy of timekeeping.

The watch is not something that can be reduced by reducing the volume, and the internal structure needs to be changed in an all-round way.

"If we want to reduce the volume of parts again, then the current lathes and other processing tools, all are not enough, we must first design a new set of precision machining tools, preferably in place at one time, the lathe should be reduced to the kind that can be placed on the table."

During an in-house technical workshop, one of the researchers made a proposal for innovation.

"Hmmm! Hirata-kun's opinion is very good, but we can ask the technical department to assist in the development, and they are more professional in this area.

Let me say a few words, since it is already a big move, then there must be a qualitative breakthrough in the improvement of the watch, otherwise we will be sorry for the efforts we have made.

In addition, the company has carried out a big change as early as last year, our technical department, the right to enjoy a certain share of the technology of the developed products, that is to say, if the watch we study can be sold on the market, our income will be very rich, we are actually doing things for ourselves, we must work harder, and strive to improve the watch to a few steps. ”

"Hey!"

The people here, except for the technical director is Han, everyone else is a person, no way, the Japanese are almost literate, and the Han people, on the contrary, are almost illiterate, only the more than 200 traitors who read can be a big responsibility, because they also followed Wang Rucheng the earliest, so they were all promoted to technical supervisors, in charge of a certain aspect of research, and the officials below are all people.

"It takes time to improve the equipment, and we can't just leave it empty, the design work can continue, and some experiments can be continued.

Everyone should talk about their own suggestions for improvement, and we should speak freely, and we will summarize them. ”

"Supervisor, I think that the design of the pendulum hammer is extremely unreasonable and takes up too much volume, so the pendulum hammer has been improved, and the thickness of the watch can be reduced by almost half.

In addition, the pendulum can only be wound at a specific position, and the winding efficiency is too low, which is the main component that causes timing errors, and should be improved to a design that can be wound in all directions. ”

"Excellent! Do you have any good ideas? ”

"There is a little immature idea of lowly position, everyone, please look at the folding fan in my hand, is it very thick? But if I open the folding fan, the folding fan immediately becomes a thin layer, but the fan is still a fan, and the essence has not changed.

My idea is to spread out the current pendulum hammer into a fan shape, and the weight of the pendulum hammer remains the same, but the thickness is much thinner. ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Wonderful! Yamaguchi-kun's idea was wonderful, and he did just that, and Yamaguchi-kun was responsible for the improvement design. ”

"Hey!"

The Han supervisor took the lead in applauding, and he praised the researcher named Yamaguchi and named him to be in charge of the improved design.

Someone started the way, and then someone spoke enthusiastically.

"Supervisor, lowly found that the most important thing is that the gear is solid, after all, the force of the spring is fixed, only so large, so many solid gears have to rely on it to drive, and the energy consumption is very large, so the clockwork will be loosened soon after, and the timing of the watch has also increased the error, and the winding efficiency of the pendulum is not high is also a reason.

However, if you want to hollow out the gear, the strength of the material is not enough, so we may have to add a stamping process to the material to increase the density of the material. Even quenching and tempering processes such as quenching and tempering can be added to maximize the strength of the material.

In this way, it will be possible to hollow out the gears and partitions to minimize the weight of the watch, and at the same time there will be a qualitative improvement in the accuracy of the timekeeping. ”

"Bang bang bang!"

"Good! Good! Good! Inu-kun's idea is very good, and I think the feasibility is very high, so I will do it, and this improvement work will also be carried out by Inu-kun. The director was very excited to say three good words in a row, expressing his high affirmation of the researcher surnamed Inu-rai, and at the same time naming him to be in charge of the research.

"Hey! It is a great honor to be humble. Inukai Saburo immediately stood up happily and bowed.

"After the speeches of the three of them, I have concluded that our watches will be greatly improved in terms of volume, weight and accuracy, which I am extremely convinced.

So do it! I look forward to good news from all of you, adjournment! ”

The Han supervisor made a final summary, and left the conference room with a bow and a send-off from his subordinates.

From the process of developing watches by the watch development team, the development process of other research can be reflected.

Like a watch, it is first and foremost a timekeeping tool, and it must have a fairly high degree of accuracy in order to be practical, which Yang Wenli said, and these researchers also know it in their hearts.

Second, since it is a watch, it means that it is worn on the wrist, so it has a limit to its size and weight, which forces them to constantly improve in order to reach the standard of being truly worn on the wrist.

This does not require Yang Wenli to give instructions or personally prompt, they themselves know what to do, and their research will not deviate too far.

In fact, this is also the case in other research fields, such as paint, paints of various colors, which needless to say are surface spraying materials, chemical substances, then researchers will find ways in the field of chemistry to carry out various experiments, in the final analysis, the paint should meet practical standards, beautiful and gorgeous, and at the same time durable.

This doesn't need to be said by Yang Wenli, they themselves understand their mission, and at the same time, Yang Wenli doesn't understand chemistry and can't guide them.

But they did a great job, pre-existing the other research groups in a variety of practical color paints.

Of course, they put in a lot of effort, did a lot of experiments, and at the same time had to record the experimental process, sometimes even life-threatening, because some chemical experiments can produce highly toxic substances, or gases, or substances that die at the touch of a button, and they even summed up the trick of highly toxic gases generally with a sweet taste and fragrance.

There have been dangers, there have been detours, but as long as the goal is clear, they can't deviate too far and will automatically get back on the right track.

The speed of its research and development is not slower than that of later generations of scientists, because Yang Wenli has set a very good incentive mechanism, that is, intellectual property fees, in every product, they can get benefits, which stimulates their research interest, to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

The Far Eastern Kingdom is now too thin, and there are too few people involved in scientific research, so it is far from being able to compare with modern times, but Yang Wenli is ambitious, and his comparison object is not Europe at this time, but the modern, technologically advanced 21st century, I believe that over time, it will definitely create miracles.
