Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

"Young man? A bright student? From the Materials Research Institute?"

Zhao Shuren shook his head: "I don't know either, but he's amazing. I saw him mix a kind of quenching oil. After quenching, the workpieces could be rinsed with water and the oil would be gone, leaving them clean."

"Really? That's impressive. When did you see it?"

"I saw this today on my way back to my hometown."

go back home?

In fact, Yuan Limin certainly knew what the factory's experienced workers did on weekends.

However, it's not during working hours, so as long as it doesn't interfere with regular work, it's fine. Zhao Shuren ran out and came back in time, so it's acceptable.

"Okay, then let's invite him over to take a look."

"Hmm." Zhao Shuren stood up, wanting to go back and make a phone call. The reason they installed a phone at home was actually to make it easier for him to take on freelance work, but now…

and many more!

Zhao Shuren paused again: "Section Chief Yuan, he might be a bit arrogant."

"Only capable people have airs. As long as he can solve our problems, we'll just send our factory's 212 truck to pick him up!"

"Section Chief Yuan, he might need some money."

"As long as you can solve our problem, we'll pay whatever money you want!"

"Really?"

"Really? Our Yellow River Factory is short of money?"

"Okay." Zhao Shuren was finally relieved: "Then let the factory's 212 bus take me there directly. He might not come if I call, but he should come if I take the 212 bus."

Although the price of the 212 is not more expensive than that of a minivan, the 212 has a lot of prestige. You know, in the past only county magistrates could ride in it.

"can."

When bus 212 arrived at the Yang Steel Plant, it was already night. Seeing that the plant was still brightly lit and there were still clanging and banging sounds, Zhao Shuren breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they were still working. If they had gone home, it would have been difficult to find them.

"Engineer Zhao, is there really a capable person in such a small place?" driver Li Yong asked.

"Of course, recently a steel mill made a lot of money from an export deal. Do you know which mill it is?"

"Could it be the factory in front of us?"

"Yes, this is it!"

As soon as the car arrived at the gate, the factory gate opened and a sedan drove out.

The black body was flat and wide, clearly belonging to a leader. It was even bigger than a Santana, and the four-ring logo on the front of the car gleamed under the lights at the entrance.

"Holy crap, an Audi!" Li Yong's eyes widened immediately.

"There are only five vehicles in the entire province. Could it be that some high-ranking leader is here for an inspection? That's impossible, the driver is so young..."

“That’s right, it’s him!” Zhao Shuren said, and tried to stick his head out to shout.

Unfortunately, the windows of the 212 were sliding windows, and he couldn't squeeze his head out at all. By the time he opened the car door, the Audi had already sped away.

"Quick, chase after them!"

"What are you chasing?"

"That Audi, the one driving it, is the person I'm looking for."

That young man can actually drive an Audi? He must be someone important!

Li Yong realized what was happening and started to turn around, but by the time he turned the car around, he could only see the Audi's taillights. At that speed, he knew he definitely couldn't catch up.

"Quick, hurry and chase them!"

"What are you chasing? How could our 212 possibly catch up with an Audi?"

"We have to chase them even if we can't catch them! We've come all this way..."

Just then, suddenly, the taillights of the Audi were rapidly approaching.

That car actually drove back? No, it reversed! That driving skill…

Li Yong's eyes widened. A luxury car! A luxury car! When will I be able to drive one of these cars?

If you can drive at 30 or 40 kilometers per hour while reversing, you should be able to reach over 200 kilometers per hour on the highway, right?

The Audi reversed and drove alongside the 212, with the driver's seat facing the passenger seat of the 212.

The car window slowly rolled down, and the driver rested his elbow on it, scratching his head – a pose that was definitely pretentious.

"You are... Master Zhao? Didn't you leave because of some family matters? Why are you back?"

"Hey Xiao Chuan, I came here specifically to invite you to our factory to help us out. We drove here to pick you up directly." Zhao Shuren got out of the car and bowed to Qin Chuan, asking, "Are you free?"

"I don't have time, and besides, I'm used to riding in an Audi, I'm not used to riding in other cars."

"How about you drive your Audi to our factory?"

"You came to pick me up, and I still have to drive myself?" Qin Chuan rolled his eyes at Zhao Shuren: "Master Zhao, if we hadn't driven there in a van, would you have come to our factory?"

Zhao Shuren was extremely embarrassed.

"Xiao Chuan, I know it was my fault today, it's all because of my apprentice... but we need your help with things at the factory!"

"what's up?"

"Can you increase the strength of gears through heat treatment?"

"Of course, no problem, it's not difficult at all."

Qin Chuan said, "If we use carburizing, quenching and tempering processes, the hardness can reach about 60 HRC."

"If you want to further improve the high-temperature hardness, you have to use carbonitriding."

"This way, even if the gears operate at a temperature of 300 degrees Celsius, their strength will not decrease."

Zhao Shuren rolled his eyes: "Xiao Chuan, what does HRC mean?"

"Your experienced workers at the Yellow River Factory not only have practical experience, but also a lot of theoretical knowledge. You don't even know about Rockwell hardness?"

"This experiment uses the depth of indentation plastic deformation to determine the hardness value, with 0.002 mm as a hardness unit. HRC is achieved by pressing a diamond cone with a load of 150 kg..."

“I remember now! ZF steering systems have this specification, it seems to be around 50. If you can achieve 60, it means you are even better than ZF steering systems,” Zhao Shuren said.

"Steering gear? You guys actually make your own steering gear? If it's not stiff enough and the teeth break, someone could die!"

"Xiao Chuan, could you please help us out and resolve this issue at our Yellow River Factory?"

"That's no problem, but I can't do it for free."

"The factory said they'll give you as many as you need."

"Master Zhao, we'll remember your kindness in coming all this way to help us today. Out of respect for you, we can't ask for too much, so let's make it 500,000!"

What? Five hundred thousand?

Zhao Shuren almost spat out a mouthful of blood. "You little brat, are you doing this on purpose? I asked for 500,000 yuan during the day, and you offered the same price. I sent a car to pick me up, and you're trying to humiliate me!"

I...I give up, since it wasn't my money anyway.

“If you think it’s too expensive, then forget it. Anyway, your factory has experienced master craftsmen who have their own tricks for heat treatment. You don’t need a young man like me at all.”

"No, we need to, we need to!"

Zhao Shuren quickly said, "Xiao Chuan, wait for me, I'll call the factory right now."

"No need, you can go back. If you agree to my terms, give me a call and I'll come over tomorrow to give you some pointers."

"well."
