"Alright, I understand." After saying that, Zhang Yi prepared to return to his office.
However, as he walked out, Zhang Yi was far from calm. He was troubled by the matter of the machine tools.
Without high-precision machine tools, there was no way to guarantee the precision of the bearings produced, and their service life and other qualities could not be guaranteed either.
Although the performance of this bearing steel far surpassed foreign bearing steels of the same type, processing was equally crucial. He had already ordered Jiang Shuai to design a dedicated large-scale bearing production line, similar to the early Polar Bear setup. However, once these production lines were developed, they could only produce one type of bearing. If they wanted to switch to another type, they would have to replace every production mold on the line. It was nowhere near as convenient as a CNC Machine.
Their production line could not simply be designed and considered finished; it also had to be manufactured. But was a high-precision bearing production line really that simple to make?
Machine tool manufacturing involved bearings, motors, spindles, machine beds, and much more. Even a dedicated production line for bearings was only slightly simpler than an actual machine tool. It was still far from easy, especially when the bearings it produced had to meet such demanding precision requirements.
The difficulty of this kind of bearing manufacturing equipment was certainly no less than that of an ordinary machine tool. Besides, apart from skilled workers, he had nothing at the moment. He was essentially starting from scratch to manufacture a high-precision bearing production system.
However, Zhang Yi had his own advantage: the Scholars in the system. Even Elementary Beginner Scholars might be far inferior to Elementary Intermediate Scholars in mechanical design, but in processing and related
