A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

It's another early morning.

The early morning drinks I experienced yesterday were served again, but this time Ding Dana was the one accompanying me.

"Teacher Jiang, the factory manager's leg is a bit sore today, let's change the drinks."

As he spoke, he pulled out a glass bottle. Jiang Xia took it and immediately laughed when he saw it: Chrysanthemum White!

"Hey, you've been hiding this good stuff!"

"Haha, that's right, like swallows that once graced the palace now fly into the homes of ordinary people. This was a gift from my comrade-in-arms. By the way, I'll give you his contact information later. When you go to Fangshan, go find him; he still has several jars of old wine!"

Jiang Xia's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this the place later known as "Longevity Wine"? He really should go and get some for his grandmother to drink.

Having lived in Shandong for a long time, Ding Dana has also learned to compose a poem with a sip of wine.

Add to that the accent from Northeast China, and the combination is quite potent.

Jiang Xia Man regretted not bringing Li Tiejun along. Who knows what kind of sparks would fly if these two artistic souls came together?

After chatting, we got back to work.

The most important task today is to get the steering shaft fixed.

Since the Quancheng Automobile Factory initially only had one drilling machine, they had to drill one side of the steering shaft first and then the other side, which resulted in the centerlines of the two holes being inconsistent.

After the power steering system was installed yesterday, the steering wheel couldn't return to center, leading Jiangxia to believe that her calculations were wrong.

I only discovered this problem after turning on the "Scanner to Kill Your Little Brat" feature.

This time, they borrowed the drilling machine from the water pump factory. Jiangxia planned to combine the two drilling machines into a combined drilling and milling machine, so that both ends could be processed at the same time, ensuring that the products were symmetrical.

Of course, this set of manual assembly equipment can also be used on drive shafts.

The original drive shaft design of the Yellow River truck was extremely straightforward. Jiangxia plans to modify it, at least by adding a universal joint and a shaft-tube nesting system. This would not only reduce weight but also significantly improve transmission efficiency.

In essence, it was just a modification of the rigid transmission system from the improved version of the small steel cannon, which was then directly applied to the Yellow River truck.

Meanwhile, some minor issues with the Yellow River card were also identified by Jiang Xia and corrected one by one.

For example, that handbrake is very awkward. Every time I watch Master Liu pull the handbrake, he has to make a wrist rotation motion to push the handbrake backward.

When asked why they insisted on doing it this way, the car manufacturer replied that it was done this way from the factory.

Depend on!

Those Europeans have such thick claws! Our delicate hands won't suffer from that bear's paw. Change it for me!

While Jiangxia was busy, the steel rolling mill also welcomed the recycling team from the logistics department.

Four small jeeps, with a charging momentum, screeched to a halt at the steel rolling mill's office building.

A group of eight people lined up and walked into the steel rolling mill office in an orderly fashion.

With neither the factory director nor the deputy director present, Yang Youning continued holding a large meeting at the Ministry of Machinery Industry, taking the opportunity to vent his frustrations and accuse the Quancheng Automobile Factory of being unfair—for kidnapping his own son!

Minister Xia was happy to see him do this, because this way, it wasn't that he had deliberately let Xiao Jiang out; there was a legitimate reason—to support the factory's construction!

perfect!

What's the secret to preventing talent from being poached?

That means preventing the two sides from meeting!

The idea of ​​a machining center is really overhyped. Thanks to the newspaper's coverage, every factory across the country that's even remotely related to machinery wants a piece of the action...

The Ministry of Foreign Trade also disclosed the all-electric air fryer and pressure cooker. Although, for unknown reasons, they were not widely publicized like those in the processing center, in the eyes of those with ulterior motives, these are the real roosters that lay the golden eggs.

What? You're saying the hen lays the eggs?

Pshaw, this little rooster is laying golden eggs and earning foreign exchange!

This is what you call a fighting rooster among roosters, yay!

Therefore, catching this rooster that lays eggs became the top priority for those involved.

Minister Xia's move to undermine the enemy's strength was extremely effective.

He's not in Beijing anymore, you can look for him yourself!

With so many things going on right now, once this storm passes, those people might forget about this little brat.

Li Huaide, who was on duty at home as usual, received a report from the security guard. His first reaction was not to go to greet him, but to immediately pick up the phone: "Manager Wang, come quickly! If you're late, the pot will be lost again!"

Then he spoke to Xiao Liu, the factory director's secretary, and told him to delay the process for as long as possible.

He rushed down the fire escape stairs on the other side and personally guarded the newly relocated warehouse of the standard pressure cooker.

Thanks to the advent of punch presses, the production speed of ordinary pressure cookers has become extremely fast.

Producing several hundred pots a day is no problem now. If it weren't for the lack of stainless steel in Shijingshan, producing over a thousand pots a day wouldn't be an issue either.

Ma Zhendong and some of his colleagues also wanted to build an external cylindrical grinding machine while the blueprints left by Jiang Xia were still in use, so that with fully mechanized production, the output would be even more terrifying.

Unfortunately, we've run out of high-power motors, so we'll have to wait for the replacements from Shanghai to arrive.

The all-electric air fryer is a bit more complicated, since you have to make two versions.

One was the bulky, rough version of the firebrick from the Alliance side, and the other was the delicate, compact version of the asbestos cloth from the Little Notebook side. Yang Youning didn't know why the little brat was acting up again, insisting that he provide his coworkers who were making the delicate version of the air fryer with "pig noses" (Type 59 masks) and canvas gloves.

But we should try our best to meet the requests. The logistics department was having a headache with a bunch of unopened gas masks.

These masks were produced a bit late, missing the great battle in the north. They're almost expired. It would be a shame to destroy them, but keeping them wouldn't be very meaningful.

After all, the lessons learned from the war in the north regarding expired medicines were too profound.

Hearing that the steel mill wanted them, they conveniently exchanged another batch of pressure cookers for them, which was a win-win situation for everyone.

But the workers weren't happy about it. What kind of good person would wear a pig's snout while working? It was stuffy and hot, and they couldn't even see clearly.

With one stroke of the file, it went completely astray!

However, the solution is simple.

Li Huaide somehow obtained some quotas and turned all the workers who were processing the refined air fryers into heavy manual laborers, with their monthly food rations reaching 40 jin (20 catties).

Faced with the choice between enduring the suffering of wearing pig snouts and receiving 40 jin of food rations per month, most of the workers chose the latter.

Well, even so, there are still troublemakers.

For example, a highly skilled apprentice of an 8th-level worker cut asbestos cloth without wearing protective gear.

After a while, he would tell everyone he met that he felt needles pricking his hands, that it was both painful and itchy, and that he couldn't do any work...

Others just thought he was talking nonsense.

The logistics department team, finding the steel mill manager absent, ignored Secretary Liu's warm hospitality. With stern faces, they brandished the recall order and headed straight for the classified workshop.

After hastily tidying up the remaining tungsten steel scraps, I started drooling as I circled the machining center.

"Old Xie, how's it going?"

"Great! That's amazing! Using this to machine the barrel of the Type 63 rifle will definitely be no problem!"

"You've narrowed your vision! That old bastard Li Changfu said this could be used to manufacture turbine blades!"

The elderly man leading the group glared at the two men, who realized they had spoken out of turn and immediately fell silent.

The old man was exasperated: "I called you here to discuss how to get rid of this thing, not to debate how powerful it is!"
