1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

After saying that, Liu Haizhong picked up another workpiece and started clamping it.

With the experience of the first time, I was obviously much more proficient the second time.

At this time, Liu Haizhong controlled the lathe with full confidence and soon turned most of the steel pipe.

Jia Dongxu on the side whispered to Yi Zhonghai.

"Master, if this continues, I'm afraid Liu Haizhong will really have to make the 7.62mm internal threaded pipe."

"What should we do now? Are we just going to stand by and watch?"

Yi Zhonghai said gloomily with a dark face.

"What else can we do? Just watch!"

"The leaders and the masters in the workshop are watching."

"Dongxu, I can tell you, don't try to be clever and sabotage anything. If someone sees you and something happens, I really can't help you."

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu nodded repeatedly.

It took a lot of effort for Tingting to agree to sleep with him. Although it was only less than a minute, he was still very satisfied.

If he makes another mistake and loses his job, Tingting might really have to sleep in a separate bed from him from now on, or even divorce him!

At this moment, Liu Haizhong's second processing workpiece was completed.

The workshop director urged that it be taken down and measured.

"Master Liu, hurry up and measure to see if the dimensions are within the tolerance!"

Liu Haizhong nodded while taking measurements with tools.

"Top and bottom diameters are within tolerance..."

"The bottom thread angle and groove size are normal!"

"Top thread angle and groove size..."

As Liu Haizhong spoke, his tone began to stutter.

This made the workshop director nearby very anxious.

"Tell me quickly, Master Liu, what about the top thread angle and groove dimensions? Are they within tolerance?"

Liu Haizhong put the measuring tools aside and said while calming his excitement.

"The top thread angle and groove size are normal!"

"Director, all dimensions of this 7.62mm internally threaded pipe are within the drawing tolerances!"

"I made it. I made the 7.62mm internal threaded tube."

Hearing this, the workshop director was also ecstatic, patting Liu Haizhong's shoulder and speaking excitedly.

"Good, good, good! Master Liu, you did a great job this time!"

"Now is not the time to celebrate. Let's quickly familiarize ourselves with the operation experience and try to make more 7.62mm internal threaded pipes before the end of the day."

"Don't worry! I will definitely tell the higher-ups about this. I can't guarantee other benefits or rewards, but I'm definitely guaranteed a Level 7 fitter position!"

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong almost jumped up with excitement.

In contrast, Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai both had gloomy faces, and at this moment they were more embarrassed than if they had eaten feces.

"Director, please rest assured. Just leave all the 7.62mm internal threaded pipes to me!" Liu Haizhong patted his chest and promised confidently, and did not forget to mock Yi Zhonghai with contempt in his eyes.

His eyes seemed to say.

Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai, from now on I will be on the same level as you. Except that the old man in the courtyard has a higher status than me, how else are you better than me?

Being ridiculed by Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai's good hand clenched into a fist and made a crackling sound.

"Master..." Jia Dongxu comforted from the side.

Yi Zhonghai pushed Jia Dongxu behind him and then came to the workshop director.

"Director, I also want to try the 7.62mm internal threaded pipe!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was suddenly in an uproar.

Even Chen Xiao, who had been watching the show from the side, now looked at Yi Zhonghai with a new respect.

Who gave him the courage to operate a lathe with just one arm? Fish Leong?

The workshop director looked at Yi Zhonghai's arm covered in plaster and comforted him.

"Master Yi, your injuries haven't healed yet. You should go home and recuperate first. We can talk about other things after you've recovered."

"Director, please believe me. Even though I only have one arm I can use now, I'm still better than others."

"As the only Level 7 fitter in the workshop, no one in the entire workshop can rival me in terms of skills."

"I'm confident I can make this 7.62mm internally threaded pipe single-handedly!"

Yi Zhonghai said with a solemn vow.

"One hand? Old Yi, I'm not looking down on you, but I've ruined one of your hands. Stop messing around here and go home to recuperate." Liu Haizhong grabbed Yi Zhonghai's uninjured arm and prepared to walk out.

Regardless of whether Yi Zhonghai can do it today, he doesn't want Yi Zhonghai to show off.

Because today is his home court in the bangs!

Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly and shook Liu Haizhong away with one arm.

"Please believe me, a mere 7.62mm internally threaded pipe is no problem for me, Yi Zhonghai!"

After saying that, regardless of other people's objections, Yi Zhonghai picked up a workpiece with one hand and prepared to clamp it.

Jia Dongxu, who was beside him, quickly shook the three-claw clamp for his master.

After all the work was ready, Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath.

"Master Yi, don't force yourself..." The workshop director said his final prayer.

"Don't worry, Director. I, Yi Zhonghai, don't really care about a mere 7.62mm internal threaded pipe."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai started the lathe.

With the sound of mechanical gears, the tool slowly moved towards the workpiece.

Liu Haizhong, who was standing by, felt his heart in his throat.

How much he hoped that Yi Zhonghai would fail in his pretense.

If he had succeeded, no one would brag about him today, only Yi Zhonghai with one hand would be boasted about.

After all, others can do it with one hand, so what can your two hands do?

Sizzle～～～

The sound of a tool cutting an iron pipe was heard, and iron cuttings were rolled up.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai's mouth corners rose slightly.

That's it?

I thought it would be so difficult.

As the knife went deeper and deeper, Yi Zhonghai could no longer suppress the corners of his mouth.

Just when he thought everything was going well, suddenly there was a sound of a lathe stalling, and Yi Zhonghai's heart was in his throat.

"It's over!!!!" Yi Zhonghai frowned and shouted in his heart.

"Hahaha......"

Seeing that the knife was broken by Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong laughed out loud.

"I told you not to force it, why don't you listen, Lao Yi?"

"How can the tool be fed so fast without interruption?"

"Master Yi, I told you not to force it a long time ago, why didn't you listen?" The workshop director said with a frown.

"Even though we've been given a few more knives, each one is still extremely important."

"Master Yi, you..."

"Hey......"

"I won't say anything else. If you're okay, go home and recuperate. Come back to work when you're well."

The workshop director shook his head and left the workshop.
