A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Spare parts warehouse.

The tarpaulin was lifted again, and Jiang Xia activated his cheat code, instantly making the scattered parts as clean as new, falling back into their respective positions like weary birds returning to their nests.

The heavy machine tools were instantly revitalized.

Well, that's how it usually happens in novels.

But Jiang Xia is no ordinary person, and this is no ordinary novel; it's something else entirely.

The weakest protagonist in history is struggling with a nut while sticking his butt out.

I can't turn it!

Because this machine tool isn't some kind of magical artifact, except for certain gears, ordinary nuts will still rust.

And it's the kind that rusts completely shut.

"Heh, give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world!"

Jiang Xia found a 20mm steel pipe, put an adjustable wrench on it, and pressed it down hard.

Not moving.

"Hehe, a living person can't let themselves die from holding in their pee."

Use another wrench to insert the nut, and then insert it into the extension steel pipe in the same way.

"Watch me excel in both arts and sports!"

Jiangxia stepped on one of the steel pipes, used his hands to forcefully pry open the other one, and set off a wildfire that blazed across the sky.

"open!"

Nothing happened...

"Hahaha~~~"

Looking at Jiang Xia, who seemed a bit withdrawn, Yang Youning laughed so hard his tongue stuck out again.

"Boy!" is pronounced in the third tone.

"It's not working!"

"You have to practice! You have to be like your Uncle Yang, skilled in both literature and martial arts!"

Yang Erlengzi assumed a horse stance, grabbed the steel pipe fitted with the nut, shouted loudly, and pulled it up with all his might.

His movements were very standard, reminiscent of the style of later weightlifters.

Unfortunately, his flushed face and the fact that the steel pipe hadn't moved an inch revealed that his efforts were in vain.

"Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm!" Yang Erlengzi hummed the four tones of Mandarin perfectly.

"Hehe," Jiang Xia said, resting his chin on his hand, "Deputy Factory Director Li, has our Factory Director Yang not had a bowel movement for several days?"

Li Huaide shrugged and turned to leave.

At this moment, he felt that putting all his eggs in one basket with these two guys was his most serious mistake.

"By the way, Xiao Jiang, what are your requirements for the renovation?" That's what I was thinking, but my actions betrayed me.

Sure enough, after taking only two steps, Li Huaide turned back and asked again.

"Yes! A TV, a sewing machine, 108 legs, plus a bathroom and a toilet."

"Are you trying to cram all the heroes of Liangshan into your house? They'd have 108 legs! Do you think your three small rooms can hold them all?"

"Bathroom? Isn't the factory's large public bathhouse enough for you?"

"Dream on! You're building a toilet in a courtyard house? Aren't you afraid your neighbors will dump it in the latrine and drown you?"

Li Huaide finally couldn't hold back and roared at Jiang Xia's back.

"Oh! You decide what to do then!"

Jiang Xia, who had already set up the analyzer, casually brushed off Li Huaide.

Houses and such, are they any better looking than this gearbox?

Wow, I never noticed before, but now that I do, this bite structure is just so beautiful!

Li Huaide glanced helplessly at Yang Youning, who was still squatting on the toilet, and Jiang Xia, who was staring blankly at the machine tool gearbox.

He sighed helplessly, "What sins have I committed?!"

After Li Huaide patted his butt and left, Yang Youning also stopped his squatting groans.

"Oh, Xiao Jiang, I suddenly remembered, I haven't reported to the ministry yet. Hmm! I haven't asked for C620."

"I'll be going now, okay? This is yours!"

Jiang Xia waved his hand dismissively, "Just call Tie Jun over for me."

"By the way, when you go to the ministry, ask who dismantled this machine back then, and whether they still have the drawings."

Yang Youning pursed his lips as he listened to Jiang Xia's request. "You brat, can't you understand that's just an excuse? Only a fool would go to the ministry without your master."

Jiang Xia also curled his lip, as if to say, "Do you think I don't know it's just an excuse? I have to find you something to do. If I'm exhausted, you can't stand up either."

……

The arrival of Tie Jun and the other three Vajra greatly accelerated the dismantling process.

During this time, Mr. Qin, who was curious, took a look and felt his heart pounding a little.

A lathe, now just a frame, sits there, evoking a sense of nostalgia in many elderly people.

"Master Qin, you've come at the right time. This pole seems a bit crooked, could you help me straighten it?"

Jiang Xia was sorting and arranging the parts according to their installation location; these parts couldn't just be taken apart and put away.

We still need to perform calculations and draw diagrams one by one.

This is a huge undertaking. After all, this heavy-duty machine tool is no ordinary fancy machine. Just one automatic stroke alone is enough to keep you busy for half a day.

Master Qin initially dismissed it, saying, "No problem, let me tell you, Xiao Jiang, your Master Qin's eyes are the ruler!"

Then, Master Qin, bending down, lifted the bare pole upwards with one hand.

Damn it! This thing is so heavy!

Master Qin, who had almost strained his back, finally took this inconspicuous bare pole seriously.

"What the hell is this material? Why is it so heavy?!"

Jiang Xia looked up. "It should be S50C steel, Master Qin. Please be careful later. This steel is a bit hard, and try not to scratch the surface."

Master Qin grinned, "No problem, I'll bring it to you later!"

Jiang Xia gave a thumbs up, "I knew you were reliable!"

After showing off the project proposal he had already written, he said, "Come on, sign it. You won't regret it!"

Master Qin curiously took it and glanced at it: "A design concept scheme for domestic industrial mother bed based on detailed surveying of top foreign lathes" list of the implementation team members.

"Xiao Jiang?"

"Yes, Master Qin, is it signed yet?"

"My apprentices are quite capable, what do you think?"

"Alright! As long as we don't make mirror-finish gears, it'll be fine!"

"That can't be done!"

Master Qin found some cotton, carefully wrapped the bare pole, and then wrapped it with a layer of oilcloth before carefully carrying the pole to his workbench.

Watching Master Qin's work, Jiang Xia sincerely gave the master a thumbs up.

"With this kind of work ethic, there's nothing they can't accomplish!"

At the same time, Li Huaide also summoned Xu Damao.

"Da Mao! Jiang, our factory engineer, is that building still not finished?"

Xu Damao brought over another pot of tea and carefully poured it into Li Huaide's cup.

Li Huaide took it as was his habit, frowned at the smell of the tea, took a sip, and then put it aside.

Xu Damao, being a shrewd man, could only think to himself: "Oh no, I shouldn't have brought such low-grade tea."

But how could a mere projectionist like him have the resources to produce high-quality tea?

It's important to know that tea was classified as a Class II commodity by the state starting in 1959, making it extremely rare in the market. Moreover, tea coupons were only issued to each household on three major holidays (Spring Festival, National Day, and May Day), providing one tael (a low-grade) of tea.

The price is comparable to pork, no, it should be more than twice that of pork.

Xu Damao could only smile apologetically and be even more careful: "It should be empty, there's no installation yet. But according to the old man in the courtyard, the neighborhood committee sent someone to help him repair the roof."

"Well, since you're quite familiar with the situation in the courtyard, you can help keep an eye on the renovation of Engineer Jiang's room."

"Also, according to him, he contacted a comrade surnamed Tian from the street office for help. You should go and coordinate with him in the next couple of days and make sure to get things done for Jiang Gong!" Li Huaide emphasized the last two words.

This is to show that we take this matter seriously.

"Understood, understood, we will definitely take it seriously!" Xu Damao emphasized the last two words.

He nodded emphatically, indicating that he "understood" Li Huaide's intentions.

Li Huaide: Xu Damao seems clever; he should be able to get things done. Should we let that brat take the TV from home?

Xu Damao: This Factory Director Li is insidious. He tries to manipulate others over the housing issue, but I'm good at it!
