Chapter 613: No Regrets After Writing This? No Regrets!
Teaching on-site is clearly impossible. Jiang Xia isn't that busy either.
He pulled out a black cassette tape and handed it to the two groups that remained.
"There's a search index here, with manuscripts categorized into 65-151. It's full of materials written by top experts in the shipbuilding field. If you study the parts about buoyancy, that should be enough to solve your current problem."
"Comrade Qiu Jiexin, that fun thing is in here. The search code is Cat-1. Go check it out yourself. If you think you're capable, then take it on. I'm waiting for the day you prove me wrong!"
Jiang Xia took out another cassette tape, but this one was red.
The manuscript stored on this cassette tape is actually the recent work of Master Shousong of Jiangxia. Do you remember the "unit analysis method"?
For some reason, this analytical method has spread far and wide, and experts from various fields have gotten involved. The current classification is no longer based on the original disciplines such as physics and mechanics, but has been further deepened to form a set of methods that combine actual production processes.
Seeing this, Jiang Xia went along with it. For example, in the area of machining centers, Jiang Xia gave an example of optimizing the production process by analyzing manual operations and semi-automated operation units.
Factory 112 in the north followed suit and developed a system for identifying and optimizing various operational units in the production process of aircraft manufacturing using unit analysis, thereby reducing waste and improving efficiency.
Not to be outdone, Factory 331 in the south not only came up with a standard production process for the "sea glider" but also wrote down the process for making speedboats.
Given that Jiang Xia was too busy, Comrade Shousong, who was helping him organize the manuscript, handed over the "Sea Wanderer" section to Secretary Liu, and sent the section on ships to the bigwigs in the shipbuilding industry, asking them to help with their review.
Yes, it's the same shipyard that built the "Dongfeng," the first 10,000-ton ocean-going freighter in the People's Republic of China, last year.
The shipyard took one look and thought, "Hey, this 331, instead of playing your 'sea snails' properly, why are you trying to mess with our professional field?"
You dare call it a speedboat? Yours is just a tiny sampan! At best, you can only float around in that "big bathtub" of the Bohai Sea. If you dare to go out on the real sea, you'll be filmed sinking to the bottom of the ocean in no time!
If we don't look at the details, wouldn't our reputation as the number one factory in China be ruined?
So, under the guidance of the chief engineer there, we thoroughly reviewed their experience in building ocean-going freighters. Initially, there was just a competitive spirit, but after reviewing the manufacturing process, wow, if we applied the basic principles of unit analysis, it seems there's quite a lot of room for improvement in our process!
If we optimize the design here, not only can we reduce costs, but we can also improve the quality.
Anyway, the other side got more and more into it, and the original competitive spirit faded away, replaced by a desire to continuously improve their own production processes.
……
Hehe, what's this? This is the original standardization!
Moreover, this standardization wasn't enforced by higher authorities forcing these state-owned enterprise bosses to comply; rather, they themselves happily jumped for it.
Happy, so happy!
Even before the "Peaceful Exemplar" was established, the US had already humiliated China. If things continue like this, they might be able to turn the tables and retaliate against them.
As a result, Jiang Xia felt increasingly overwhelmed, with too many manuscripts requiring review. Even if he brought along the real big shots in Tianshan, it wouldn't be enough. So, the cunning Jiang Xia suggested to his superiors that they establish a "Standards Association" specifically to handle this matter, and also create an award, perhaps to recognize the manufacturers who diligently researched and developed these technologies.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. The bigwigs from several ministries initially nodded in approval with smiles. But when they huddled together to discuss it, they realized that none of their subordinates seemed capable of taking on this heavy responsibility.
Putting everything else aside, at the very least you should be able to understand what others are writing, right?
At the very least, we should know exactly what improvements others have made to this process, what effects they have achieved, and whether these effects bring positive or negative benefits...
There are truly talented people in the department, but all those capable of cross-industry audits have gone to serve the "young lady" (a term of endearment for a high-ranking official). Oh, I forgot to mention, recently some new people have been assigned to serve the "maids" (another term of endearment for a lower-ranking official), which has made the relevant department buildings seem much quieter...
Counting on my fingers, damn it, only Jiangxia, who's still running around in Beijing, can command respect.
Finally, the bigwigs unanimously decided: Since Little Dumb Hair started this, you'll be responsible to the end. We'll provide the rewards, but you can decide who wins. You'll also find the judges yourself; there's only one criterion: everyone must be convinced of the winners' merits. Anyway, you know a lot of people across industries; if you're willing to swallow your pride and ask for favors, it seems more effective than a direct order from the ministry…
Of course, if you don't handle this well, you'll be in for a good beating! Three meals a day, enough to make you greasy and shiny...
So this project, which was originally intended to be slack off and thrown away, ended up back in Jiang Xia's hands in a roundabout way.
Jiang Xia initially wanted to shirk his responsibility, but then he realized that this was a crucial opportunity for comprehensive standardization. If he missed this window of opportunity and tried to implement standardization later, he didn't know how many years he would fall behind.
Who cares! When a person dies, they're like a bird soaring to the sky; if they don't die, they'll live forever. I'll just have to bear it!
From now on, please call me Jiang? Able to withstand the summer heat!
The only saving grace is that the development of Da Huang's clone has reached a certain level, and the manuscript has been converted into data format by Comrade Shousong and his school's top students.
Otherwise, the sheer volume of manuscripts alone would have crushed the little guy into a limp duck...
……
The ever-elusive Secretary Liu presented the two individuals and their group members with a thick "dictionary." Pang Guoxing signed and stamped a consent form for the use of "Big Yellow Doppelganger," and then saw off the group of enthusiastic young people.
As Secretary Liu wrote down the names of these people, she pointed to Ma Zhibin and his group, who were hiding to the side watching the two groups with envy:
"What, you don't like it?"
"No, it's just not suitable." Jiang Xia rubbed his chin.
To be honest, I don't think much of them. However, from another perspective, these people aren't suited for research, but they're extremely well-suited for a specific task, especially since I'm currently the only one carrying the main burden of my own standardization association…
"Tsk, it's rare to see you like this, kid. You're always such a nice guy, aren't you?"
"Nonsense! In the past, there was no one you could lecture, that's the essence of technical work! You have to stand up for what's right!"
Jiang Xia took out a cigarette and led the group toward Ma Zhibin and his men.
The young men panicked for a moment, then bowed their heads and accepted Jiang Xia's cigarette, each one of them keeping their heads down, seemingly lost in thought...
"Comrade Ma Zhibin, do you think you made a mistake in this matter?"
Ma Zhibin straightened his neck, wanting to force himself on, but seeing his friends behind him, he remained silent.
Jiang Xia didn't urge him, and just waited quietly, even turning his back so as not to disturb the other person's thinking.
Ma Zhibin lowered his head and secretly glanced at him, only able to see a thin figure and wisps of smoke drifting in the cold wind.
"Boss! I...I did nothing wrong!"
"Talk about it!"
"I...I've just seen too many arguments that, in the end, degenerate into 'arguing for the sake of arguing,' which is a waste of time! A waste of life!"
"You slam your fist on the table and state your reasons, he slams his fist on the table and states his reasons, and all that arguing wastes a whole day!"
"Since the higher-ups have given instructions, let's follow them! Regardless of whether the instructions are right or wrong, we can eventually find the strengths and weaknesses in the process. Then we can concentrate the strengths and eliminate the weaknesses, and that'll solve the problem!"
The silence of Jiang Xia and his group put immense pressure on Ma Zhibin.
When he turned around and looked at his friends, he found that they were all nodding at him.
He then blurted out the words above without any regard for the consequences.
After saying that, Ma Zhibin breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
Whatever, that's how I feel!
Even if it happened again, I would still say the same thing! It's just a pity about that "four-wheeled" machine. If I were also the "chief designer," I would have forced those people to carry out the decision, even if it meant throwing punches!
Maybe by now, all four teams will be able to cross the strait!
"Sincerely?"
"Seriously!"
"Well... Comrade Ma Zhibin, I think you might not be suitable for your current position. Would you be willing to accept another assignment from the organization?"
Jiang Xia turned around and reached out to pick at his stubble, making a rustling sound.
"And you? Do you share the same thoughts as your friends?"
"Yes! That's right! I think it's the right thing to proceed with the project according to the instructions from higher authorities!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
A few young men stepped forward, meeting Jiang Xia's gaze without flinching.
"Then you should all be transferred! This is an opinion, not a suggestion, okay? Shouldn't you reconsider?"
Jiang Xia looked at everyone with amusement.
"We've given up! We unconditionally obey the organization's decision!"
"Ok!"
Jiang Xia reached behind her, and Secretary Liu handed her a stack of forms.
"Come and sign here, you won't regret it once you've put it down!"
