I asked you to modify it, what the hell is this fighter jet's engine?

"Old Wang, if... your apprentice can't fix it, you and your apprentice must apologize to all the comrades in our team in person, and you..."

Wang Mincai, seeing how high Captain Bai's stakes were, began to hesitate. But upon seeing his apprentice's determined expression and remembering that he had never acted without purpose, he said seriously, "Not only will I apologize, I'll also acknowledge you as my master and treat you to a meal at HSBC Garden."

"Old Wang, let us make it clear first that you cannot give advice to your apprentice." Captain Bai glanced at him provocatively.

The CA10 truck in front of us is the latest light truck that rolled off the production line nationwide last year. Its engine cylinder is faulty. For the entire city, this engine must either be repaired by professional engineers sent by the automobile factory, or it can only be returned to the factory for repair.

It was because he was so sure that he dared to take such a big gamble.

"Captain Bai, my master doesn't have to give me advice, but I need a helper."

Gao Xiaoguang smiled bitterly. Although he had only been in the machinery factory for half a month, he knew that his master and Captain Bai were a pair of bickering lovers when they were in the army, and neither of them would give in to the other.

"I'll be your helper."

Captain Bai volunteered, and Gao Xiaoguang put on cotton work gloves and stood in front of the front of the Jiefang CA10. The two began to disassemble the engine. After careful inspection, they found that the problem was with the cylinder rocker arm.

After replacing the new rocker arm, Captain Bai, under the command of Gao Xiaoguang, walked around while waiting for the next instruction from Gao Xiaoguang who was observing the valve rocker arm.

"Captain Bai, turn slowly."

Soon, Gao Xiaoguang looked up slightly after seeing the cylinder intake rocker arm pressed down, and said, "Stop!"

Captain Bai stopped circling and stuck his head out to look at Gao Xiaoguang.

Gao Xiaoguang used a screwdriver and a wrench to adjust the valve clearance. Adjusting the valve clearance is a very technical job and is also the last and very important step in engine overhaul.

And the maintenance technician is required to have a very good understanding of the working principle of the engine.

If you are not good at it, if you don't handle it properly or make the wrong adjustment, it may cause serious collision between the valve and the piston, and the engine will be scrapped.

Half an hour later, the crankshaft rotated a few more times. Gao Xiaoguang finished debugging and jumped out of the car.

"Xiao Gao, is it repaired?" Wang Mincai asked urgently, lighting a cigarette for his apprentice.

"It's fixed. Just add some oil and it will start."

Gao Xiaoguang opened his mouth to take the cigarette, took off his hood, rubbed the oil stains on his hands with sand, and then stood in front of the faucet to wash off the remaining oil stains with soap.

"Old White, did you hear that?"

Wang Mincai proudly handed him another cigarette and teased, "I'm waiting for you to call me Master."

"The car hasn't started yet, and we don't know who is calling who." Captain Bai didn't mind the oil stains on his hands. He took the cigarette and took a few puffs.

Repairing the engine is also a strenuous job, and the first generation of CA10 trucks uses a hand-cranked ignition, which relies purely on human power to turn the handle on the front of the vehicle.

It’s easy in the summer, but in the winter you not only have to add hot water to the water tank, but you also have to use hot water to thaw the frozen oil lines.

Gao Xiaoguang sat in the driver's cab, and two apprentices from the team used the crank, turning it clockwise with all their might.

"dududu~"

Puffs of black smoke emanated from the smoke pipe at the rear of the truck.

"Hey! It's on."

Gao Xiaoguang stepped on the clutch to shift gears and stepped on the accelerator. The CA10 truck started slowly and ran in the convoy.

The CA10 truck circled the convoy site several times and stopped in front of Wang Mincai and Captain Bai. Gao Xiaoguang opened the door and jumped out.

"Captain Bai, the car has been repaired. The engine oil and oil filter will need to be changed in a month. For future maintenance, the oil and oil filter will need to be changed every six months."

Gao Xiaoguang specifically reminded.

Trucks these days are driven all the time, and with the current crude automotive technology, engines need a running-in period after an overhaul. During this period, metal powder is produced. If the engine oil and oil filter are not replaced in time, the engine will suffer serious wear and tear again.

"Lao Zhang, go drive a few laps."

The man, who was about thirty years old, drove a few laps and got out of the car.

"Captain, after the maintenance by the high-tech personnel, the engine no longer stalls when starting on a slope, and it drives much better."

"understood!"

Captain Bai walked into the office with a gloomy face. He quickly picked up a large front door and threw it to Wang Mincai. Then he stood in front of Gao Xiaoguang and bowed 90 degrees to apologize, "Master, I'm sorry, I apologize to you..."

"..."

Gao Xiaoguang didn't expect Captain Bai to apologize publicly and become his apprentice. He hurriedly avoided him and said, "Captain Bai, you can't do that. Your driving and maintenance skills are second to none in our factory."

As he said this, he raised his thumb.

He had heard from his master that Captain Bai had braved enemy planes and delivered supplies to the volunteer army on time many times.

He admires such heroes from the bottom of his heart.

Gao Xiaoguang continued, "You are my hero. If anyone wants to become my disciple, I will choose you."

The stubborn Captain Bai shouted, "I, Bai Jianzu, am a man of my word. Since you have repaired the engine, you are my master."

"Forget about becoming my disciple. From now on, we can learn from each other and make progress together."

Gao Xiaoguang looked to his master Wang Mincai for help. Although Wang Mincai was proud in his heart, he also tried to persuade him on the surface.

After much persuasion, Bai Jianzu said, "You don't have to become my apprentice, but as a high-level technician, you have to train my team."

"Good job, Old Bai, you were waiting here!" Wang Mincai pointed unhappily.

"Hehe~~"

Bai Jianzu smiled innocently, as if his evil plan had succeeded. "I'm a rough man. If you don't train our team as a high-level technician, then take me as your apprentice."

"Okay, I promise, isn't that enough?"

Gao Xiaoguang held his forehead helplessly, "But... I'm busy recently. I'll come and train the team when I have time."

"Row!"

Bai Jianzu happily handed the car keys to Gao Xiaoguang, "The factory director told me that you need a car. I see that you can drive, so I won't send you a driver."

As he spoke, he pulled Gao Xiaoguang aside and whispered, "Technician Gao, my child has just been born, but I don't have enough milk. Can you give me a pair of pig's trotters to help my wife produce more milk?"

"no problem!"

"I'm going to see if there are any pheasants shot in the village, and bring one for you too."

Gao Xiaoguang agreed directly. He had a purpose in making friends with the team leader.

Besides, there are more than a dozen pairs of pig's trotters in the space, and he doesn't like eating pig's trotters, so giving him a pair is harmless.

"Brother, I would like to thank Brother Gao first."

Bai Jianzu held Gao Xiaoguang's hand and shook it vigorously. The enthusiasm he exuded made it seem as if the two were brothers who had been separated for many years.

After leaving the convoy, Gao Xiaoguang did not immediately drive the CA10 truck out of the factory. Instead, he and his master Wang Mincai entered the workshop to check the configuration and manufacturing progress of the cam lathe.

After the introduction by Director Hao from the workshop, we learned that the feed box, wheel hanger, drag plate and other accessories have been completed, and we can start assembly after the spindle box accessories are completed.

Judging from the processing progress of Jiang Shifeng and others, it is expected that all parts will be completed within Zhou Tian.

"Senior technician, the factory director has instructed that workers should work overtime tonight so that the assembly can be completed without taking a weekend off." Director Hao explained.

In the 1950s, Monday to Saturday were working days, and Sunday was a day off.

But if the production task is heavy, working overtime on Sundays is commonplace.
