1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

As the workpiece slowly moved, Yi Zhonghai began to devote himself to the lathe.

This was the second time he showed off, also in front of so many people.

There must be no surprises this time.

Last time, I was able to get away with it by relying on one arm and thick skin.

This time is different. If he fails again, it will be a real slap in the face of Yi Zhonghai.

While operating the lathe, Yi Zhonghai did not forget to remind the group of masters behind him.

He spoke calmly.

"Everyone, actually, making a 7.62mm internally threaded pipe is not difficult. It all comes down to two words: be bold and careful!"

"Aren't those four words 'bold and careful'..." Chen Xiao reminded from the side.

Yi Zhonghai was about to get angry, but when he looked up and saw that the words came from Chen Xiao's mouth, he just endured it.

Yi Zhonghai still has something to ask of Chen Xiao, so this relationship must not become too awkward.

He said to Chen Xiao with a forced smile.

"Chen Xiao is right, it is indeed four words..."

Then Yi Zhonghai continued to tell everyone the precautions regarding the 7.62 mm internal threaded pipe.

This made Liu Haizhong, who was standing by, grit his teeth. He had been making internal threaded pipes for so long that he was familiar with the production process.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's skillful technique, if there are no mistakes later, it is really possible for him to make the 7.62mm internal threaded tube.

No, it’s not just Yi Zhonghai, there are also these old masters watching.

After Yi Zhonghai’s teaching, at least half of the masters were able to learn it.

Originally, because he was the only master in the factory who could make 7.62 mm internal threaded pipes, he was a big hit in front of his coworkers and leaders. He listened to all kinds of boasting and praise every day, and he felt so happy.

Liu Haizhong knew that that was the past, a past that could never be returned to.

Everything today was ruined by that damn Yi Zhonghai, but he could do nothing about Yi Zhonghai.

He could only keep praying in his heart, praying that Yi Zhonghai would make a mistake halfway.

Unfortunately, this scene did not happen until Yi Zhonghai stopped the lathe.

With a smile on his face, Yi Zhonghai removed the 7.62 mm internal thread from the lathe and handed it to the master craftsman behind him for inspection.

"You can take any measuring tool and measure it at will. All dimensions are definitely within tolerance!"

Yi Zhonghai said proudly.

"Hurry! Go get the measuring tool!" said the workshop director excitedly.

An old master squeezed in from the crowd and just brought the measuring tool.

The old master used a measuring tool to measure the various dimensions of the 7.62mm internal threaded pipe. Every time he measured a dimension, his excitement would become more intense.

"How is it? What's the size?" asked the workshop director anxiously.

"The dimensions are correct, all dimensions are within the tolerance range!" The old master put down the measuring tool and said excitedly to the workshop director.

"Good good!"

The workshop director said "good" three times in a row.

"Master Yi, you really didn't let me down."

Yi Zhonghai scratched his head.

"If Liu Haizhong can do it, then naturally I can do it too since I have better skills than him."

Liu Haizhong was so angry that his teeth were itching.

Yi Zhonghai continued.

"Director, I would like to volunteer to teach all the experienced workers in the workshop how to make 7.62mm internally threaded pipes."

"If nothing goes wrong, within a month, no, a week, I'm confident I can teach 99% of the experienced craftsmen in the workshop!"

The workshop director's eyes lit up.

"really?"

Yi Zhonghai patted his chest and made the promise.

"really!"

"Okay, okay, Master Yi, if you can teach 90% of the veterans in the workshop, I will apply to the factory to have you promoted to level eight fitter!"

Yi Zhonghai's breathing began to become rapid. Everything he did today was to wait for the workshop director to say this.

"Director, the level of fitter is just an empty title. I, Yi Zhonghai, don't care about it."

"As a member of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, I have an obligation to contribute to the country!"

The workshop director was very pleased to hear this and patted Yi Zhonghai on the shoulder.

"Master Yi, work hard. Don't worry, it's only a matter of time before you're promoted to level eight fitter!"

After the workshop director left, most people in the workshop came to Yi Zhonghai's workstation.

They all came here to learn how to make 7.62mm internal threaded pipes.

Except for Liu Haizhong and Chen Xiao, all the masters in the workshop went there.

Liu Haizhong said that because he was already good at it and he was angry, he naturally wouldn't just flatter someone.

To be honest, there is no need!

But Chen Xiao was too lazy to please Yi Zhonghai.

After seeing how many things Liu Haizhong had made, he was already 80% to 90% sure that he could make it.

After all, he is a time traveler, and he watched a lot of lathe decompression videos before traveling through time.

The morning passed quickly.

Surrounded by a group of master chefs, Yi Zhonghai brought a large group of people to the cafeteria for dinner.

On the way here, several old masters kept asking about the production techniques.

Yi Zhonghai, on the other hand, would tell you everything he knew. As long as someone asked, he would answer patiently.

Chen Xiao was sitting alone in a corner of the cafeteria eating. He had just taken a few bites when Yi Zhonghai came and sat opposite him with his lunch box.

"Chen Xiao is eating alone."

"Yes, eating alone."

"Uncle, what can I do for you?"

Chen Xiao looked up at Yi Zhonghai, who was smiling at him at this moment.

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask you why you didn't come to study at my lathe this morning."

"Chen Xiao, you're a first-class fitter now. If you learn how to make 7.62mm internally threaded pipes, your future is limitless!"

"Not to mention getting promoted two or three levels, a single level is more than enough. Besides, the salary difference between a first-level fitter and a second-level fitter is quite large..."

"So?" Chen Xiao said lightly.

The smile on Yi Zhonghai's face froze, and he had a bitter smile on his face.

Why is Chen Xiao so stubborn?

Originally, he wanted to teach Chen Xiao how to make 7.62mm internal threaded pipes, and then tell him about Jia Zhang's affairs. Maybe Chen Xiao would agree to settle the matter privately.

"The uncle wants you to get a higher salary. You and Qin Huairu don't have children yet. Once you have children, you will understand the importance of money."

"How about you come to my place this afternoon and I'll teach you step by step? What do you think?"

"No need for that. I am not your disciple. Jia Dongxu is your disciple."

"You are so nice to me, is there something else going on?"

"For example? Jia Zhang?"

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

Even if Yi Zhonghai doesn't stick his butt out, he knows what Yi Zhonghai is up to!
