The CNC system isn't installed?!
Other than Lu Zhou, everyone else in the warehouse was stunned.
Secretary Wu from Shenyang Machine Tool sighed and took out a cigarette from his pocket. He then walked out of the warehouse. Director Li from the State Administration for National Defense stood on the side. He looked at the two pieces of equipment in silence. His eyes were filled with disappointment.
As for Yang Zhongquan, he looked like he had just won a lottery ticket. His wrinkles were squeezed together as he shook his head and sighed.
"The CNC system isn't installed … I knew it wouldn't be that cheap."
In the beginning, he didn't understand how Lu Zhou bought this batch of equipment for only 20 million euros. Logically speaking, the two pieces of equipment should have cost more than that. But now, he finally understood that what he bought back was a 'castrated version'.
Lu Zhou looked at the disappointed expressions on everyone's faces. He coughed and spoke in a low voice.
He then asked in a quiet voice, "Isn't it just the CNC system?"
In his opinion, this wasn't a big deal …
However, he didn't expect this sentence to cause a group of engineers to be furious.
Especially Yang Zhongquan, he couldn't help but spit.
"Do you know what a CNC system means for a machine tool?"
Lu Zhou: "…"
Okay, I'm a mathematician, so I don't really understand this stuff.
But even then, I don't think this is anything to be excited about.
Director Li saw that the two technical experts were about to argue again, so he coughed and acted as a mediator. He then explained to Lu Zhou.
"Machine tools are special. There are two core difficulties, one is the hardware, and the other is the software. There's nothing much to say about the hardware. It involves a series of things such as hydraulic, pneumatic components, bearings, servo motors, etc. Every step will affect the precision of the machine. As for the software, it directly determines whether the hardware I mentioned can play its original role in the actual production. "
Lu Zhou nodded thoughtfully. He had a rough idea of the situation.
"This software is the CNC system?"
Yang Zhongquan mocked from the side.
"What else? Without the system, are you going to operate it by hand? "
Relatively speaking, industrial machine tools didn't have high requirements for chips, but they relied heavily on CNC systems. An excellent machine tool must be matched with an equally excellent nano-precision CNC system to ensure the accuracy and stability of the machine tool.
According to the report of the European Machine Tool Industry Joint Committee (CECIMO), it was clearly stated that the main competitors of the European machine tool industry were Japan and Yizhou, and Japan was currently at the same level as Europe. The evaluation of China's machine tools was that they were cheap and their technical strength was gradually improving. However, they were not the main competitors. At present, they were not on the same level.
One of the reasons was that most of the machine tools produced by China's enterprises were imported or custom-made by Japanese companies. In addition to the cost, they lacked core competitiveness.
Now that the machine was back, the supporting system was not installed. Although it could not be said to be completely useless, at least the value was halved. Moreover, this 50% discount was only for the machine tool manufacturers who intended to reverse engineer the machine tools. For the manufacturers who intended to use these two machine tools, it was not just a 50% discount. It was no exaggeration to say that they were no different from scrap iron.
Yang Zhongquan looked at Lu Zhou, who didn't say a word. Yang Zhongquan thought that Lu Zhou was distressed about the money he spent, so he laughed and joked.
"Why don't you just sell both of your machine tools to us? You can only use them as scrap metal anyway, so you might as well let them do what they can. Don't worry, we'll pay you whatever you want. We'll pay you 20 million euros. "
Lu Zhou ignored him. He looked at Director Li and asked, "Can't we buy another system and install it?"
Director Li shook his head and said, "It's very difficult. It's fine if we bought it through legal channels, but these two machines … are a bit difficult."
When Lu Zhou heard Director Li say "difficult", he immediately understood.
The problem was that these two machine tools were currently "unregistered", so it didn't matter who installed the system. After all, other people were looking for these two machines all over the world. If Lu Zhou asked them to install the system at his house, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Especially since the controllable fusion negotiations were still going on, he definitely couldn't do something that would affect the overall situation.
As for installing a domestic system …
That would be equivalent to being useless.
Lu Zhou's sight drifted to the side.
"… I'll find a few technicians to think about it."
When Yang Zhongquan heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Oh, if you can find someone to figure out the control system for this machine tool, then I'll eat this machine tool."
"Okay, I'll remember that."
Lu Zhou didn't want to argue with him. First of all, he didn't have the time, and second of all, he didn't want to make himself look bad.
Director Li, who was watching from the side, shook his head.
There was nothing he could do about this old engineer who was as stubborn as his technology. This kind of person couldn't be persuaded. Once they started arguing, even ten cows wouldn't be able to stop them. Lu Zhou seemed to be easy to talk to, but that was only if the other party was polite.
After all, Lu Zhou was an internationally renowned scholar. Even if he wasn't in the field of machine tools, why would he listen to him?
Ultimately, this was because the customs were a bit immature. They didn't notify the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, nor did they report this matter to the higher-ups. Instead, they hurriedly contacted the company's engineers to do an appraisal. As a result, Lu Zhou came over and took a look.
In any case, these two people were pillars of the country.
Even though this wasn't something Director Li could control, he still hoped that their relationship wouldn't be too strained …
The people in the warehouse dispersed, leaving only two engineers and a few security guards and technicians from the Institute for Advanced Study. They were going to transport one of the machine tools to the warehouse next door. They were going to wait for the State Administration for National Defense to arrive.
Secretary Wu followed Director Li closely. Yang Zhongquan, who came from a technical background, naturally disdained to do this kind of thing. He went back to his car and prepared to rest at the hotel.
As for Lu Zhou, he didn't have much time to waste here. After he entrusted the logistics work to the people at the research institute, he went back to his office alone to research the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap. He waited until the sun began to rise before he went downstairs to the cafeteria for dinner.
Wang Peng sat across from Lu Zhou and asked, "Is this a problem?"
Lu Zhou put some food into his bowl and said nonchalantly, "It's not a problem at all, they're just making a fuss."
Wang Peng looked at Lu Zhou and said, "But … Didn't the chief engineer at Shenyang Machine Tool say that the machine tool system wasn't installed? This thing is quite important, right? "
Even though he didn't know more about machine tools than Lu Zhou, he could still understand the relationship between a computer and an operating system.
However, Lu Zhou still didn't seem to care. He only focused on wolfing down his food.
"… It's not up to them to decide whether it's important or not. I'll ask an expert first."
