84: Excited Hu Guoyong

A Numerical Control Machine Tool with 0.001 mm precision.

What did this mean?

Even if Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General wasn't an expert in Numerical Control Machine Tools, he could still realize the importance of this item at this moment.

"Let's go, we'll go find Hu Lao right now!"

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General immediately said to Zheng Dafeng.

He wanted to tell Hu Guoyong, Academician this good news, and this matter also had to be told to him.

Otherwise.

Hu Guoyong, Academician would probably still be kept in the dark, still foolishly striving to develop Numerical Control Machine Tools, raising the precision from 0.008 to 0.006 mm.

Little did he know.

This insurmountable chasm had already been easily crossed by someone!

And.

This time, the leap was unprecedented.

It directly achieved a rocket-like leap from 0.008 mm to 0.001 mm.

This leap directly caught up with and surpassed the level of foreign Numerical Control Machine Tools, leaving them far behind!

This was truly monumental good news!

...

The two left the arsenal, drove their vehicle, and returned the way they came.

On the way back to the military camp, Zheng Dafeng turned the steering wheel, driving from a small path onto a main road.

Hu Guoyong, Academician was not in the military camp but in the Academy of Sciences outside the military district.

The Academy of Sciences was located in the southern suburbs of Yanbei City.

Its full name was the Huaxia Academy of Sciences, a research department specifically established by the state.

And Hu Guoyong, Academician was one of its academicians, holding a fairly high position.

He was also the one who led the research and development of Numerical Control Machine Tools in the Rabbit Country; otherwise, the Rabbit Country would have been completely blank in this field.

The two quickly drove out of the military district and onto the asphalt road.

The reason for driving to find Hu Guoyong, Academician was also because Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General wanted to take him to the arsenal to personally see the precision of those parts.

Otherwise.

Without concrete evidence.

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General knew his stubborn temper; once he was set on something, it was impossible for him to change his mind easily.

Only by putting the facts before his eyes would he possibly believe.

On the asphalt road, traffic was bustling.

Yanbei City.

As the political center of the Rabbit Country, the population gathered in this city was undoubtedly enormous.

According to statistics.

The current population of Yanbei City was roughly over twelve million people.

This number was not fixed.

It was still continuously rising by several hundred thousand each year; as the capital of politics, this was undoubtedly a place yearned for by countless people.

Soon.

The black jeep drove through the urban area and arrived at the southern suburbs.

Before their eyes was a huge complex of buildings.

After parking the car, the two got out and then walked straight into a six-story building.

Climbing the stairs, the two arrived at the door of a laboratory.

Knock, knock...

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General knocked on the tightly closed laboratory door.

Through a small transparent glass panel on the door, he could vaguely see busy figures inside.

And one of them was Hu Guoyong, Academician.

Perhaps the knocking was quite loud.

A young man inside immediately looked up at the door.

When he saw Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General standing outside, he walked to the door and opened it.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

The young man was very polite and courteous.

The Academy of Sciences was not a place anyone could just enter; generally, only national talents and academicians recognized by the state could freely enter and exit the academy.

Plus, Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General looked quite old.

The young man naturally took Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General for some impressive scientific research big shot.

"Hello, young man, I'm here to see Hu Lao."

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General smiled faintly and quickly stated the purpose of his visit to the young man.

The young man nodded upon hearing this, then turned and called out loudly:

"Teacher, someone is looking for you."

Hu Guoyong, Academician was too busy to put down his work; he replied without looking up:

"Who is it?"

"Old Hu, it's me, Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General."

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General yelled into the room.

And in front of the Numerical Control Machine Tool.

Hu Guoyong, Academician, hearing the voice, paused his movements, then looked up and glanced towards the door.

Seeing that it was indeed Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General, he finally put down his tools and walked out of the laboratory.

In the hallway.

Hu Guoyong, Academician looked puzzled:

"General Chu, why are you here instead of staying at the Theater Command camp?"

"Old Hu, I have great news to tell you!"

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General looked excited.

"What good news is worth you coming in person?"

Hu Guoyong, Academician looked bewildered, but also a little curious.

After all, Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General was the leader of the Eastern Theater Command, holding the rank of Lieutenant General, a truly powerful figure.

Such a person, logically, should remain calm in the face of many things.

But now.

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General's eyes showed clear excitement.

What kind of event could stir the emotions of such a figure?

"I'm telling you, someone in our country has increased the precision of Numerical Control Machine Tools to 0.001 mm!"

As he said this.

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General's tone carried an undisguised joy and excitement.

"Did you drink today?"

Hu Guoyong, Academician merely frowned.

Huh?

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General was stunned for a moment, then said, "No, I didn't."

"If you didn't drink, why are you talking nonsense? 0.001 mm precision? Why don't you say nanometer-level?

Our country hasn't even broken through 0.008 mm precision, where would 0.001 precision come from?

Besides, even foreign countries can't achieve this precision."

Hu Guoyong, Academician said, waving his hand, and walked towards the laboratory, saying at the same time:

"If you have nothing to do, don't bother me. My experiment is about to succeed. Once it succeeds, our country will officially have Numerical Control Machine Tools with 0.006 mm precision."

Hu Guoyong, Academician clearly didn't believe Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General's words.

Are you kidding?

He had been researching Numerical Control Machine Tools for all these years and knew the domestic level inside out; how could there be a machine tool with that kind of precision?

Wasn't this a joke?

This Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General also had nothing better to do, coming all this way just to crack a joke...

Thinking this.

Hu Guoyong, Academician quickened his pace, walking towards the laboratory.

"Old Hu, wait!"

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General quickly called out to Hu Guoyong, Academician.

"Do you have anything else? Can't you just get it all out at once?"

Hu Guoyong, Academician turned around, looking a bit impatient.

He was eager to get back to the laboratory to conduct his experiment.

"I knew you wouldn't believe it. You must come with me right now."

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General stepped forward, grabbed Hu Guoyong, Academician, and tried to pull him away.

"Let go of me, don't delay my experiment."

Hu Guoyong, Academician struggled, trying to shake off his hand, but still couldn't break free.

The other's hand was like a steel clamp, firmly gripping his wrist.

"Just come with me, it won't take much time anyway."

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General ignored his protests and pulled Hu Guoyong, Academician along.

Finally.

Hu Guoyong, Academician still couldn't escape Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General's grasp and was pulled into the car.

The engine roared, and the black jeep sped off.

Soon, they arrived at the arsenal.

"Why did you bring me here?"

Hu Guoyong, Academician got out of the car, looking somewhat confused.

Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General turned back, a mysterious smile on his face:

"Just come with me."

The group soon arrived inside the arsenal, standing in the corner where parts were stacked.

Under Hu Guoyong, Academician's astonished gaze, Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General immediately pulled out a few parts from a box and placed them in Hu Guoyong, Academician's hand:

"Old Hu, go measure the size of these parts."

Hu Guoyong, Academician wanted to refuse, but he couldn't argue with Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General.

In the end, he could only hold the parts and find a measuring instrument.

Then he began to test the size of the parts.

First part: 21.151

Second identical part: 21.151

Third identical part: 21.151

...

The more he measured, the deeper the disbelief in Hu Guoyong, Academician's eyes became, and the greater the shock in his heart.

By the end.

He couldn't help but exclaim:

"How is this possible?! The sizes of these parts are exactly the same, without the slightest deviation!"

No one could understand better than him what these identical parts meant.

It meant that someone had developed a Numerical Control Machine Tool with 0.001 mm precision!

Otherwise.

These parts could not possibly be without error!

"Where did this batch of parts come from?!"

In his excitement, Hu Guoyong, Academician threw away the parts, turned around, and tightly gripped Chu Yunze, Lieutenant General's arms with both hands, his excitement clearly visible on his face.

...
