Chapter 431 Unscientific !

In the heart of Taishan Industrial Park, a vast expanse of steel and concrete, where the relentless hum of machinery filled the air, a test of cutting tools was unfolding. This event was not merely an examination of the physical tools themselves, but a testament to the prowess of those who wielded them.

At the forefront of this intriguing display stood Feng Xuesong, a veteran director at the workshop, known and respected throughout the industry. His position and experience had thrust him into the role of a de facto leader in the realm of machining. Opposite him, a figure no less formidable in his own right, was Fan Gaoyi, a senior technician of impeccable skill. However, even Fan Gaoyi, for all his expertise, found himself constrained by the imposing shadow cast by Feng Xuesong. Here, in the workshop, Feng Xuesong's word held sway, and Fan Gaoyi, for all his seniority, dared not defy it.

The occasion at hand was none other than the highly anticipated trial of cutting tools. It was a moment of tension, an embodiment of anticipation, as the tools were about to face a grueling test. Would they live up to the expectations of those who had crafted them? The workshop buzzed with an electrifying undercurrent of excitement.

What made this particular trial all the more captivating was the arrival of Han Guang and his team, bearing tools that glistened with an unusual and conspicuous black sheen. The sight of these tools, gleaming ominously in the workshop's fluorescent lights, drew the attention of all present. Each tool, whether it be a drill bit or a milling cutter blade, bore this distinct ebony hue. The arrival of these enigmatic tools piqued the curiosity of Fan Gaoyi, who, for all his industry experience, couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

As his eyes lingered on these tools, Fan Gaoyi began to form a hypothesis. He surmised that these tools might very well be a new offering from the esteemed Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group. It was not uncommon for such groups to introduce innovations and improvements to their product lines, and the allure of a shiny new tool was enough to catch the eye of any technician.

Yet, for all the intrigue these tools held, Fan Gaoyi remained unshaken in his confidence. He was, after all, a devoted advocate of Shante's knives, renowned in their own right for their quality and performance. In his mind, the novelty of Taishan's new product was inconsequential. He had seen his fair share of innovations, but none had managed to surpass the prowess of Shante's knives.

The anticipation in the workshop reached its zenith as preparations for the knife test were completed. The air was thick with anticipation, and every eye was fixed on the impending trial.

"Get ready to test the knife!" The command rang out, and the CNC machining center, a behemoth of steel and precision, sprang to life with a mesmerizing blend of fluid motion and mechanical precision. The room fell silent as everyone watched with bated breath, the rhythmic whir of the machinery adding to the sense of anticipation.

Twenty to thirty minutes elapsed, each second feeling like an eternity, as the first part was meticulously processed. Then, as abruptly as it had begun, the CNC machining center came to a halt, leaving behind a palpable tension.

Technicians swarmed around the machine, their movements deliberate and calculated. Their scrutinizing eyes assessed the tools—drill bits and milling cutter blades—and found no issues. They then turned their attention to the processed workpiece, employing measuring tools with a precision born of years of experience.

A voice finally cut through the silence: "Director Feng, Fan Gong, there's no problem with the tools, and the parts are flawlessly processed." It was a declaration that rippled through the workshop, causing ripples of amazement.

"What!" Fan Gong's voice betrayed astonishment, and he couldn't help but cast a skeptical glance toward Han Guangdu and his team. Could it be that there were no problems at all? He wondered, his mind racing to reconcile this revelation with his deep-rooted faith in Shante's knives.

However, Fan Gaoyi was no novice in the realm of machining, and he understood the peril of making judgments based solely on the outcome of a single part. Despite his skepticism, he held his peace, knowing that a comprehensive assessment would require more data.

Feng Xuesong, a man with a profound understanding of machining, approached the processed parts and the tools themselves. He examined them with a discerning eye, nodding slightly in approval. His experienced hand even reached out to pick up some of the iron filings created during the process, studying them thoughtfully before nodding again.

To the uninitiated, these iron filings might have appeared as nothing more than waste, but to an experienced technician like Feng Xuesong, they held secrets—clues that hinted at the performance of the tools. His examination was a testament to the depth of knowledge that comes only with years of hands-on experience.

The trial continued with the installation of the second part, and the machinists meticulously set up the tooling. Just as Han Guangdu was about to recommence the process, Fan Gaoyi felt compelled to intervene, to express his reservations about the impending decisions. But before he could voice his concerns, Feng Xuesong raised a hand, effectively silencing any dissent.

"Fear not, Mr. Han," Feng Xuesong interjected with a knowing look. "If you're confident in your tools, proceed with 1500 rpm."

Fan Gaoyi's objections remained unspoken, as he recognized that Feng Xuesong's experience and judgment were not to be taken lightly. The earlier inspection of the tools and the processed parts had given Feng Xuesong a measure of confidence in the higher speed, and Fan Gaoyi respected his superior's decision.

With the CNC program adjusted accordingly, the machining center resumed its operation. This time, the increased speed introduced a dramatic change to the proceedings. What once took a laborious 20 minutes was now achieved in a mere seven or eight, a stark testament to the impact of the higher speed.

Once again, the center came to a halt, and the protective door swung open, revealing the results of their efforts. The technicians and machinists gathered around, their anticipation palpable.

"What!" Feng Xuesong's voice held a hint of surprise. "Mr. Han, your tools appear as pristine as before, not a trace of wear."

With the processing of multiple parts under their belts, particularly on challenging materials like high-temperature alloys, a tool change would have been expected. But to the astonishment of all present, the tools remained untouched, their surfaces unblemished.

Han Guang joined the scrutiny, his eyes closely examining the cutting tools and the processed parts. The tools remained as sharp and unyielding as they had been at the start, while the parts themselves displayed no signs of wear or imperfection.

Suddenly, a realization dawned upon Han Guang. The evidence before him was undeniable—these black alloy knives were exceptional in a way that defied conventional understanding.

With newfound confidence coursing through him, Han Guang boldly suggested, "Director Feng, let's increase the processing speed to 3000 rpm."

Feng Xuesong, his earlier hesitations quelled by the mounting evidence, agreed without hesitation. The program was once again modified to accommodate

the higher speed.

As the third part took its turn in the spotlight, the increased speed brought unprecedented efficiency. What had once taken half an hour to complete was now accomplished in a mere three to four minutes. The transformation was nothing short of astonishing, and the workshop was abuzz with amazement.

Gasps and cheers filled the air as each part was flawlessly processed, the efficiency and precision leaving onlookers in awe. A sense of jubilation pervaded the workshop, and more workers and technicians were drawn to witness the spectacle.

Meanwhile, not far away, the employees of Shante Company were left baffled by the commotion emanating from Taishan Knife's corner of the industrial park.

"What's happening with Taishan Knife? Why is there such excitement?" one of them wondered aloud.

As they observed the scene, shock and disbelief gradually set in. Processing one part in three to four minutes, with no signs of tool wear, seemed utterly inconceivable. Their disbelief deepened with each passing moment.

Back in their own processing center, one part had taken a grueling 20 minutes to complete, a stark contrast to Taishan Group's lightning-fast efficiency.

"Old Chen, what's troubling you?" a concerned colleague inquired, noticing Chen's troubled expression.

Chen sighed deeply, shaking his head. "You wouldn't believe it," he muttered with a hint of bitterness. "Taishan Group can process one part in just a few minutes. We're left in the dust."

Their own cutting tools showed clear signs of wear after processing just a few parts, a stark reminder of the discrepancy in performance. Shante's pride had been wounded, and their confidence shaken.

As the trial continued, the relentless efficiency of Taishan Group's tools and the bewildered expressions of their competitors continued to amaze. It was a performance so extraordinary, so unexplainable, that it defied the very laws of mechanical science.

In the world of machining, this was a revolution—a seismic shift in the balance of power. A battle between titans had begun, one that would reshape the industry and set the stage for a new era of innovation and competition.
