A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

"Master, when did you get back?"

"Hmph, stop asking questions and be honest. You've been making quite a stir lately, haven't you?"

"Hehe, it's all thanks to my master's excellent teaching!"

"Yes, that makes sense. Of all the disciples your master taught, I was the most promising; and in your generation, you are currently the most promising. We must carry on this tradition..."

"Oh, that's easy. Master, the hydraulic free forging I mentioned earlier is making progress; I've found a great helper..."

"With free forging, that thing that can rotate 360 ​​degrees can also be made..."

Li Changfu lit the No. 13 cigar that Jiang Xia handed him, struck a match, and slowly savored the exquisite cigar, which was full of fruity aroma.

Xiao Liu grabbed the cigar and hid it in his inner pocket. This good stuff is best enjoyed at home in front of his father.

Well, it has to be said that by following Yang Youning, Xiao Liu gradually slid into the abyss of "courting death".

Li Changfu listened with narrowed eyes to Jiang Xia's follow-up plans.

I still prefer my own apprentice. So what if those three bears were captured? As long as they're alive, that's fine. Who told them to insist on this surprise visit…

Originally, Li Changfu intended to show the three bears around the factory area and then have relevant personnel give them a lesson.

But these three insisted on going to see for themselves, conducting a surprise inspection.

Let them go. The steel rolling mill is a real business. Relevant departments have been coming to learn from them a lot lately, so the workers are used to it.

According to Jiangxia's "5S" workshop management rules, you can walk and look around freely within the yellow-marked passageway, as long as it does not affect the normal work process.

However, these three people insisted that the visit inside the yellow line was just a superficial gesture by the steel rolling mill.

You want me to work the lines? No way! I'll just go to the nooks and crannies, the places where nobody can see me. That's the true nature of a factory.

The other workshops are fine, but the pressure cooker workshop is different. Most of the equipment here is machine tools, and a large portion of the products are exported, so the security level is naturally stricter. The workers are also more vigilant.

The three sneaked into the workshop and started drooling as they looked at the punch press production line.

There are five punch presses in total, each responsible for one stamping process. The entire pot lid is completed from raw material to finished product in less than five minutes.

"Brother Xiong, why are there so many machine tools here? Look at them, they're all brand new!"

"That's a punch press, and there's a drilling machine over there! My goodness, Beijing is really great, they use such good machine tools to make pots?"

The three large bears wanted to get closer to see what was going on, but after taking only a couple of steps, they were stopped by their coworkers who seriously inquired about their basic situation.

The three of them thought, "How can that be? If I reveal my identity, won't you start acting again?"

As the leader of Factory 112, how could he not know about these tricks of his fellow workers?

So the three of them stammered for a while and then tried to leave.

What process standards? It's just because we have a few machine tools.

We have organic beds, and we're better at them than you!

If it were any other factory, they might have just given up and let it go, but this is a steel rolling mill. The high demand for the products greatly boosted the workers' motivation.

Where are we?

That was the only unit in Beijing that could generate foreign exchange... wait, no...

Let me repeat myself: This is the only unit besides the textile workers that can generate foreign exchange, and it's here to protect against saboteurs like you.

At the shout of "Catch the spy!", half the workers in the workshop rushed out.

And coincidentally, we ran into some veterans who were visiting.

Well, that's it! The unity of the military and the people is perfectly demonstrated in front of these three scoundrels.

Fortunately, Xiong San was strong and healthy, and he protected his two senior colleagues. At the same time, seeing that the situation was not good, he raised his work ID and entry pass high, which prevented another plane crash at Factory 112.

When Li Changfu arrived slowly in Jiangxia's small tricycle, the three bears had already been tied up in a lump by the experienced veteran.

Jiang Xia took a look and exclaimed, "Hey, isn't this the same style as Li Huaide's?"

Hmm... seems even worse off than Li Huaide, they're all tied up like a ball.

The only good thing was that there was nothing stuffed in my mouth.

The misunderstanding was cleared up, and the three bears obediently stayed by Li Changfu's side, listening to the young girl from the publicity department explain the work processes in the workshop.

Hearing the little girl mention the interchangeability of the parts, the three bears became unconvinced again.

Pick up the pot lids to be used and try them on different pots.

"Oh, you say it's universal? Look, this pot lid won't even close properly!"

Seeing Xiong San nitpicking, the coworker took the pot lid from his hand, quickly installed the sealing ring, and without saying much, gestured with his palm to invite him to join in.

"Oh, rubber rings. We use them in our cockpit too, nothing special, nothing special."

He said that, but his hands kept moving.

However, without exception, the lids with added sealing rings are stably bonded to the pot body.

"Hmph, just an over-combination, nothing special!"

"Senior brother, is that all? That's an exaggeration, isn't it?"

Li Changfu stroked his chin, turned around, picked up a pot lid, waved it around a couple of times, and nodded in satisfaction when he felt comfortable with it.

"Let's go, stop getting in the way, let's go to the engine production workshop."

The three-headed bear swallowed hard, lowered its head and followed behind him, walking quietly.

They had no choice but to leave. Didn't they see the veterans glaring at them? If they stayed any longer, getting a beating would be the least of their worries.

Jiangxia had long since distanced himself from them and was chatting happily with the veterans.

After the veterans finished their tour, the tricycles and portable wheelchairs came on stage.

However, Li Changfu drove one of the tricycles away.

From a distance, the group was still in sight. The old man was driving the car in the back, the three bears were running ahead, and Li Changfu was at the back, smashing a pot lid over their heads...

Everyone burst into laughter and discussed the angle from which to swing the pot lid most effortlessly. Jiang Xia, not wanting to miss out on the fun, wrote down the discussion results, intending to present them to his master later.

After watching their master walk away, it was time for the veterans to experience how well the little tricycle worked.

However, judging from the veterans' flushed faces, they were quite satisfied with the tricycle.

The company commander drove his tricycle, weaving left and right, and finally managed to make a single-sided bridge by using the cement embankment next to him, which drew cheers from everyone.

Yang Youning hugged Jiang Xia's neck tightly and wouldn't let go: "You little rascal, how did you know that the company commander used to be a good motorcycle rider?"

"Back then, he rode a captured motorcycle, leaped up the hillside, and threw an RPG-40 directly onto Pershing's head. He was incredibly arrogant!"

"Uh, I don't know. But this tricycle has two control systems; you can control it from the handlebars..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Youning tightened his grip on his arm again.

"And there's Liu Zi, hey, this half-man can drive now, I hope he doesn't lose control..."

Jiang Xia pulled Yang Youning's arm away; it was a bit tight and felt uncomfortable.

"It's okay, there's a foot brake. I mentioned two systems, one for the hands and one for the feet, either way will work..."

Yang Youning's arm tightened again.

"Hey, Tiger, your hands are practically frozen off! What are you doing here? Just stay in that wheelchair!"

Squeak~~~~~~

The company commander parked the car in front of Yang Youning and extended his large hand.

"Smack!" A headbutt.

"You idiot, let go! You're choking the little brat so badly he's about to pass out!"
