It strolled around the warehouse for a few laps. Lu Zhou was about to ask what it was doing, but his phone began to vibrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Where is my machine tool? It was just here a second ago. (°ー°〃)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The AGV spun in a circle on the warehouse floor; the circle was approximately the size of the equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou looked at the message on his screen and felt a bit apologetic. He scratched his cheek and muttered, “Oh, the other one was borrowed by someone else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The AGV suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, a message appeared on his phone screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[: (]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou coughed and said, “There’s no point sulking. There’s only one left, just deal with it... Or I can give you some money and you can go buy another one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ai: [It’s very difficult to buy another one using the same method. 🙁 ]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same method wouldn’t fool the intelligence agencies a second time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would have to make do with just one machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exchanging one machine tool for a nearby launch site was a good deal. Not to mention, one machine tool should be enough. It would just take longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou paused for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Ai, do you know there’s no CNC system in the equipment you bought?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ai: [Why does it need a system? Can’t I just learn how to use it? 0.0]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Lu Zhou wanted to criticize Xiao Ai, he didn’t know what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Xiao Ai did make sense. After all, it was able to build a Transformer replica model with normal industrial tools. So, it should be able to operate high-precision tools with no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Lu Zhou believed in Xiao Ai’s abilities, he still asked Xiao Ai just in case, “You’re not going to ruin the machine tool, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ai: [I won’t, I’ll be careful.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou: “Then please, learn how to use it...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Ai: [Okay, Master, I got this! (๑•̀ᄇ•́)و✧]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, a truck from the State Administration for National Defense drove to the Institute for Advanced Study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of people came to the warehouse. They were ready to retrieve the machine tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou walked over and ignored Yang Zhongquan. He looked at Director Li and said, “I found someone to install the CNC system.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Director Li heard this, he nearly dropped his cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before he could speak, Yang Zhongquan smiled and said, “Oh, really now? Who did you find?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou said, “State secrets.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhongquan thought that Lu Zhou probably installed some fake sub-par system. He gently tapped his cigarette and glanced at the machine tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s give it a test then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou: “Sure, what kind of test?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhongquan tapped his cigarette and casually said, “I’m not going to make it too difficult, just make an S-shaped test piece.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An S-shaped test piece was a machine tool testing standard, which was proposed by several experts from the Academy of Engineering. It was first proposed in a patent and played a special role in testing five-axis linkage machine tools. It was used in various machine tool factories across the country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The S-shaped test piece was the only Chinese-created ISO test standard for high-end machine tools. Prior to this, the ISO standard was made by countries such as Germany and Japan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the S-shaped test piece was one of China’s great machine-tool-related inventions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an academician at the Academy of Engineering and the chief engineer of Shenyang Machine Tool, Yang Zhongquan obviously participated in the S-shaped test piece design. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that with his experience, he could tell the quality of a machine tool just by touching the S-shaped test piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou: “...?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell is the S-shaped test piece?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Xiao Ai understood what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou walked to the control terminal and pretended to press some buttons. He then pressed the start button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the start button was pressed, it was like a beast was awaken inside the warehouse. The tool connected to the spindle began to rotate at a high speed. It was like an avalanche was happening on the solid block of metal as large amounts of metal debris were peeling off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhongquan frowned when he saw this, and he squinted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is at least spinning in the tens of thousands of RPM range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This doesn’t seem right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High-speed cutting had obvious advantages. It reduced the cutting force and the deformation from the thermal stress on the product. It also improved the rigidity of the thinly-cut parts, and the final product had a higher degree of quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the disadvantages were fatal. High-speed cutting might break the tool or even melt and burn off the machinery components.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, high-speed cutting had to be paired with a corresponding feed rate, and both of them had to be within a certain range. This was so that the machine’s accuracy and lifespan on the tools were optimized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quality of a CNC system was reflected in this system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a poor machine tool broke down during operation, the blame wasn’t entirely on the machine tool itself. At least half of the blame was on the CNC system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Yang Zhongquan was surprised at the machine for maintaining such a high cutting speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this wasn’t anything special. A lot of machine tools with imported ceramic bearings could cut at high speeds, much less a five-axis linkage machine tool from Siemens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key to a reliable machine was the final product.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the machine couldn’t produce the final product or if the final product had a defect, then the cutting speeds wouldn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhongquan thought about this and felt a little more comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou was standing next to the control terminal. He didn’t really know what was going on, so he took out his phone and began to read a thesis from where he left off last night. Around ten minutes later, the rotating tool stopped and an S-shaped piece of metal was presented on the workbench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The engineers standing nearby all looked shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Done?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Already?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou put his phone into his pocket and smiled at Yang Zhongquan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think it’s done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhongquan frowned and walked toward the machine tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood next to the machine tool with his eyebrows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extended his finger and touched the S-shaped test piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s warm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhou looked at him and didn’t know what he was doing. He smiled and said, “Is it too hot? Maybe blow on it a little.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhongquan didn’t care for Lu Zhou’s ridicule. He flipped over the S-shaped test piece and rubbed his thumb on the curved surface of the metal test piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His facial expression totally changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Zhongquan’s hands trembled slightly while holding the S-shaped test piece, and he stuttered, “W-Who installed... this system for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1197,"2026-06-05T19:44:56.043Z",1,"novelbin.me","6edea1ea3faf125cd2ace2c2b8bb3470d1ed77c8d558430e8f00fb31a15ec423","scholar-s-advanced-technological-system-chapter-647","scholar-s-advanced-technological-system-chapter-645",1683,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fscholar-s-advanced-technological-system-cover.jpg"]
