Chapter 2771 Galaxy One

patter
Yang Xiaotao turned off the light, making the study dim.

Even though the outside light was already on, it still couldn't illuminate every corner.

Yang Xiaotao sat down quietly, then leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and rubbed his face with his hands, his whole being filled with excitement.

'Do you know how long I've been waiting for this sound?'

My heart was surging with emotion, but I didn't know how to express it.

After a long while, having calmed himself down, Yang Xiaotao finally looked at the system panel.

"Ding, congratulations host, you have successfully designed a CNC machine tool design. Please name it."

Upon hearing the first sound, Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and silently uttered a name in his mind.

'Galaxy One!'

For Yang Xiaotao, the research and development of CNC machine tools is the most difficult and also the most significant leap forward. Naming them after planets in the solar system is a bit petty and cannot reflect the advantages of CNC machine tools over traditional machine tools.

Moreover, the emergence of CNC machine tools represents entering a new field and a new height for China's manufacturing industry.

Naming it after the Milky Way would be most appropriate.

Immediately afterwards, the system's voice appeared again.

"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have completed the design of the CNC machine tool 'Galaxy No. 1'. System evaluation level: Excellent - Upper!"

"Ding, congratulations host, you have gained 30000 credits."

Two voices rang out in quick succession, but Yang Xiaotao was no longer as excited as usual.

In the past, Yang Xiaotao would have been overjoyed to see 30,000 credits.

But now, he feels that the credits are deserved and are worth his efforts.

Then, he looked at the system panel.

Yang Xiaotao

Age: 31
Credits: 54515
skill:
Main skill: Engineer, Level 6
Sub-skill 1: Fitter, Level 8.

Sub-skill 2: Fishing, Level 5.

Sub-skill 8: Chemistry proficiency, Level 2.

Redemption section: 5
Pets: Wood Elf, Chinese Rural Dog.

The credits went straight to 50,000.

This number can directly upgrade the main skill engineer to level five.

This is something Yang Xiaotao has always wanted to do, and it's something he's always planned.

The most direct improvement from upgrading the main skill is the engineer's overall strength, which is their overall personal ability.

Although we often use sub-skills to provide capabilities now, Yang Xiaotao knows that engineers are the foundation.

Sub-skills can only be effective on this basis.

If you don't build a solid foundation, your sub-skills will be less effective.

This is why you can only acquire sub-skills by upgrading your main skill.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to just upgrade a skill randomly?

Like cooking or carpentry, once you reach level eight, you're definitely a master chef.

With just this, Yang Xiaotao could support his entire family.

However, now that there's a system in place, who wouldn't want to take a chance?

That's why Yang Xiaotao wanted to upgrade his main skill to solidify his foundation and allow his sub-skills to perform as intended.

I waited in the study until it was bright, until the sunlight shone through the glass into the study, and until I heard my wife cooking inside.

Yang Xiaotao then slowly got up and tidied up the design drawings on his desk.

Then carefully place it into the system space.

Yang Xiaotao opened the door and walked out, then saw Ran Qiuye watching him from the side.

He instantly remembered what happened last night and quickly stepped forward with a grin, saying, "Honey, I was busy all night and forgot the time..."

Before Yang Xiaotao could finish speaking, Ran Qiuye turned and walked towards the kitchen, saying, "From now on, you can sleep in the study."

"No, wife..."

The two ran to the kitchen together, and Yang Xiaotao casually closed the door behind him.

While waiting for breakfast, Ms. Cui noticed that Ran Qiuye was acting strangely that morning.

His gaze swept over Yang Xiaotao, who was eating with his head down.

Then he looked at Ran Qiuye, whose face was rosy and whose eyes were watery, and suddenly he understood something.

Looking at the table full of children, Ms. Cui suddenly sighed, "It's so good to be young."

After breakfast, Yang Xiaotao went back to his bedroom and lay down on the bed to rest.

I stayed up all night last night and I'm feeling a bit drained.

This morning, in order to prove myself, another sudden downpour occurred, and even more so to save time, the speed, force, and angle...

I feel completely drained right now, and all I want to do is get a good night's sleep.

Back in the house, Ran Qiuye collapsed into bed and fell asleep. Knowing what had happened, she told Yang Xiaotao and then took the child back to Yangjiazhuang.

Once the courtyard quieted down, Xiao Wei appeared in front of Yang Xiaotao's forehead. After circling around twice and finding that he ignored her, she landed to the side, stretched out her small hand, and injected a stream of energy into Yang Xiaotao's body.

While Yang Xiaotao was hiding at home sleeping, there was constant arguing in the Ninth Department.

Research Institute.

Old Ye walked through the gate with his hands behind his back and the old Taoist priest. Yang Xiaotao wanted to catch up on his sleep this morning, so the two of them walked together.

Fortunately, the courtyard was not far away, and with workers from headquarters accompanying us, nothing much happened along the way, except that we arrived at the research institute a little late.

Then they heard arguing coming from the corridor, so the two of them quickly went over to check what was going on.

When the two arrived at the door, they saw a group of people blocking the corridor, with two young people in the middle facing each other, their faces red and talking back and forth. Fortunately, they didn't make any physical moves.

The two exchanged a glance, then quickly stepped forward.

People around them quickly made way for the two as they approached.

Upon approaching, Old Ye glanced at the two men and recognized them as acquaintances.

One was from the photocopier research institute, and the other was from the game console research institute.

Seeing the two men's expressions, Old Master Ye suddenly understood something.

Ever since Yang Xiaotao made that grand promise to the photocopier research institute, the institute has been making headlines, and of course, they've been working incredibly hard.

While everyone else is off work, these guys are still busy working overtime.

The key issue is that some people work overtime to impress others, but that's not what they're doing.

This is genuine research on photocopiers.

Similarly, the people at the game console research institute are really working themselves to the bone to make games.

The consequence of this was that the two research institutes were competing with each other, each wanting to produce results as quickly as possible.

Driven by these two research institutes, a sense of impending crisis permeated the entire research community.

It's as if if you don't work hard, you'll be criticized behind your back.

Old Master Ye was at a loss for what to do. He originally wanted Yang Xiaotao to say a few words, but Yang Xiaotao almost added fuel to the fire when he heard about it, saying that he could make a few more promises.

Not enough big prizes?

Then, just like last time, request a second-class merit award.

Fortunately, Professor Ye understood that research must follow objective facts and scientific principles; too much of a good thing can be bad, and things could easily backfire.

After a long explanation, Yang Xiaotao was finally persuaded to stop; otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble might have gotten into.

He had no other choice but to acquiesce to the situation.

Unexpectedly, their tacit approval actually led to a fight.

Upon arriving, Elder Ye inquired about the situation.

As expected, the problem stemmed from insufficient resources. Or rather, both sides wanted more resources to ensure the research progress.

The quota allocated to each research institute by the research institute is fixed.

The remaining shares are public; they cannot be given to just anyone.

Things were fine a while ago. Both sides' research was in its early stages, so the need for resources wasn't that great, and there wasn't that much of a rush.

However, as the research progressed, the needs of both parties increased, and other departments also began to compete for the public share.

Generally speaking, if there is a legitimate reason, Elder Ye, Han Sanfeng, and Wu Zhe will not make things difficult for them and will usually agree.

But now that everyone is eyeing public resources, there's nothing we can do.

We can only give a little to this person and a smaller amount to that person.

After all, research institutes don't have many resources.

So, the two research institutes came early in the morning to purchase semiconductor materials, but before they even entered the door, they started arguing.

After finding out the reason, Old Ye looked around with a cold face, then waved his hand and said, "Disperse, everyone, go back to work!"

Upon hearing this, the people around immediately ran away.

The two young men regretted their earlier impulsiveness. When they saw Old Ye waving, they thought they should run away quickly to avoid being scolded.

But at this moment, the two of them just happened to run into the line of fire of Boss Ye, and were made to be used as an example. How could they be allowed to get away?
Old Master Ye stopped the two men and then had Xu Pengcheng and Wang Kun called to his office.

Soon, the office door closed, and the people outside looked at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone held their breath, and then they heard angry voices coming from the office.

This is the first time I've heard Old Master Ye get angry and yell at someone.

Now, everyone put away their ulterior motives.

The scolding lasted until noon.

When Xu Pengcheng, Wang Kun, Liu Yongqiang and the others walked out of the office, their faces were flushed, like boiled shrimp. Where was their previous arrogance?

As the group returned to their respective research institutes and closed the doors to hold a meeting, the people from other research institutes became even more curious: what were they talking about inside?

When it was time for lunch, everyone inquired and found out more.

From now on, apart from the fixed-quota allocations, all other applications for resources from the two research institutes must be approved by Professor Ye.

Moreover, you can only apply once a month.

This…

Won't this dampen work enthusiasm?

Just when everyone thought that this would calm the two research institutes down, they found that the two research institutes were even more motivated after the meeting!
I found out after asking around that what they wanted was fairness.

As long as everyone uses the same resources, who succeeds first will depend on their individual abilities.

These are the ideas of the two research institutes.

No one should cheat; it all comes down to skill!

Computer research.

Han Sanfeng sat in her office, looking at the people around her who were working hard at their desks, and couldn't help but shake her head, a helpless expression on her face.

There's no way around it, we don't have enough resources!
As the deputy director of the research institute, he could easily have abused his power for personal gain, but doing so would likely have made it difficult to gain public support in the future!
Looking at the crowd below, Han Sanfeng felt that these guys were too honest.

If someone shamelessly steps forward to ask for resources, he might actually show some favoritism.

That would also accelerate the development of microprocessors.

It's important to know that this microprocessor project was personally assigned by Yang Xiaotao. Moreover, no one knows where Director Yang got the technical information from, but he not only explained the manufacturing principle thoroughly, but also wrote out the production process requirements. This put them under no pressure at all.

Just follow the steps.

Of course, this was Han Sanfeng's initial idea.

Only by truly following the steps can one understand how difficult it is.

An '8-bit microcontroller' integrated circuit means it has 8-bit operation, a clock speed of 1500kHz, and requires 5000 transistors…

All of this had to be done on a tiny 5x5 circuit board. This design and technology was a major hurdle for their computer research institute.

We've overcome a hurdle, a complete transformation.

But is that easy?
It's not easy!

Even if Yang Xiaotao provided the technology and craftsmanship, he still felt it would be difficult to produce it after a year.

Moreover, with resources now limited, it's even more difficult.

Hearing the people from the other two research institutes arguing over resources, he was honestly a little envious.

After all, if you don't fight and compete, you'll always fall behind.

But then she glanced at the bookworm in her own research institute…

Forget it.

Taking a fixed share is fine too.

Just as Han Sanfeng was thinking this, a cheer suddenly came from outside the research institute. Before he could ask what was going on, someone ran in from outside.

"Director, it's done! It's a success!"

Han Sanfeng was taken aback, then stood up and hurriedly asked, "Explain yourself, what did you mean by 'success'?"

The man swallowed hard, then, hearing the cheers outside, quickly said, "It's a CNC machine tool, from the machine tool research institute."

"I heard that Director Yang approved their design drawings and even decided on the name of the CNC machine tool."

"It's called Galaxy No. 1. They say that future CNC machine tools will be part of the Galaxy series!"

"The entire CNC machine tool industry is going crazy right now, everyone's shouting that they're going to go all out."

As the visitor was speaking, another person rushed in through the door; it was Lu Tao, who was in charge of CNC machine tool programming.

Lu Tao walked in and went straight to Han Sanfeng. "Director Han, you're here at the perfect time. I've come to get your signature!"

He then handed over the application form, which listed the resources needed for CNC machine tool research.

Seeing Lu Tao's excited expression, Han Sanfeng took the form without even looking at it and signed it directly.

What a joke! This was Yang Xiaotao's decision; would he dare to disapprove?
When handing it to Lu Tao, he simply asked, "Is Director Yang sure the design drawings are okay?"

Lu Tao nodded, "Yes, they called us over as soon as we got to work this afternoon and gave us the design drawings."

"As you know, it took Director Yang a long time to review these design drawings, and we've been waiting for so long."

"We wouldn't have dared to act without Commander Yang's orders before, but now that's great, we can finally do it!"

Lu Tao said happily.

There was no way around it; I was just so frustrated before.

They spend all day in the research institute designing and redesigning, and thankfully they have a photocopier, otherwise they would have to do an extra job of photocopying.

This working model has been passed down from the steel rolling mill era, and he had no choice but to follow the old path.

However, everyone knew in their hearts that if their own Director Yang said there was no problem with the design drawings, then there definitely wasn't.

If you can't do it, then you can only look for the reasons within yourself.

Han Sanfeng looked serious as she watched Lu Tao leave.

So CNC machine tools are getting into the race too, huh...

Are the other projects far behind?

In an instant, a sense of crisis welled up inside me.

Soon, as news spread that CNC machine tools had entered the technical production stage, many people once again turned their attention to the Ninth Department.

When Mr. Chen heard about the CNC machine tool, he was the first to call and inquire about the situation. Yang Xiaotao only said that the design drawings were done, but it would still take some effort to make it.

Even so, Old Chen was overjoyed, saying that this was the most crucial step forward and he looked forward to the success of the ninth part.

Then it was said that Huang and Xia from the First Ministry of Machine Building inquired about the situation, and then it was mentioned that the Logistics Department and the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building...

I asked them one by one, and they all asked when it would be ready.

Yang Xiaotao wasn't sure about this either, only giving a vague answer of one or two years, and that the specifics would depend on the situation.

When people learned the name Yang Xiaotao had given to the CNC machine tool, many looked regretful, clearly having some objections to Yang Xiaotao's "unauthorized naming."
