Chapter 18

When it was time to work the night shift at night, Duan Yun came to the workshop on time.

Today is a very critical day for Duan Yun.

According to the agreement with the masters last night, Duan Yun may be able to get the processed parts tonight.

Han Zhong came earlier than Duan Yun and had already appeared at the workstation.

However, unlike before, Han Zhong did not start the machine to start working, but squatted beside the machine and was busy with something.

"Master." Duan Yun stepped forward and greeted Han Zhong.

"Just in time, come and help." Han Zhong pointed at the tin box in front of him, and said to Duan Yun, "Grate all the parts with butter."

"Uh." Duan Yun saw at a glance that the iron box contained the finished product of the modified parts drawn on his drawings, and his heart was overjoyed, and then he squatted in front of Han Zhong and said in surprise: "Master, so soon All done?"

"Lao Xu and miller Xiao Liu from the foundry workshop of the day shift also helped to rush out the work. In addition, the heat treatment master Chen also helped. When you have a chance, you have to thank them." Han Zhong carefully greased the gear without raising his head. said.

"Definitely." Duan Yun patted the two packs of cigarettes in his trouser pocket with his hand and said with a smile.

Duan Yun can see that cigarettes are still 'hard currency' in the factory. If the master is not there in the future, as long as the 'ammunition' is sufficient, they should still be able to do a lot of things.

If you have money, you will naturally be popular. If you don’t have friendship, you can still find people who help you if you are good.

"Xiao Duan, to be honest, can your modification plan really improve the processing efficiency?" Han Zhong gently placed a well-oiled slip gear in another empty iron box, raised his head and asked Duan Yun.

"Master, didn't you see my modification drawing last night?" Duan Yun replied.

"I don't understand it all..." Han Zhong shook his head and continued, "I can understand the general meaning, but if there is a little mistake in this technical improvement, it may be lost."

"It's okay, failure is success!"

"Hey, I'm about to leave anyway, so I'll be going crazy with you young people in the end!" Han Zhong said with a sigh.

The expressions of master and apprentice gradually became more and more focused.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the squad leader in the middle just came over to take a look and left without asking. After all, Han Zhong is an old master in the factory, and he takes good care of him from top to bottom. Even if he sleeps in the workshop at night Dajue, no one cares.

Open the iron casing of the lathe gearbox and feed box, and Duan Yun is ready to add these gears.

Installing gears looks simple, but it is not an easy task. Duan Yun first needs to test the engagement of each gear. In addition, due to the limited space in the original gearbox, Duan Yun has tried his best to design the parts reasonably enough, but Still need to make some changes to the case shell.

Han Zhong found an electric drill and a small grinder, and it took a while to fix the casing. From the appearance, it looked a bit bloated.

Until 03:30 in the middle of the night, Duan Yun had already completed most of the modification, and the master and apprentice were already a little tired by this time.

Without waiting for the master's orders, Duan Yun got up and went to the water room to fill the hot water with the tea cup that the master drank.

At this time, Yun's mood was undoubtedly excited.

The next work will be much easier, just install two low-power motors on the front and rear sides of the lathe, and then debug the line and power supply, and the lathe can be started.

Duan Yun was secretly glad that he had met such a good master. Without Han Zhong, he would not have been able to find someone to help him process parts so smoothly. In addition, various tools and wire servo motors could not be borrowed from the warehouse. .

In any case, now Duan Yun is about to see the dawn of victory.

After just a short rest, the master and the apprentice continued to start the rest of the installation work.

The grinder and the electric drill took turns taking turns, and Han Zhong's eyes also showed a bit of excitement at this time.

After more than two hours, the sky outside had begun to show fish maw white, and Duan Yun's first machine tool modification was completely completed.

The master and apprentice did not rush to debug immediately, but walked out of the workshop door together and found a place to smoke and rest for a while.

"Thanks to you for helping me today, Master. Otherwise, I don't know how to complete this technical transformation." Duan Yun handed Han Zhong a phoenix, took out a match to help him light it, and said gratefully.

"Do you know why I helped you this time?" Han Zhong asked after taking a cigarette.

"Because I'm your apprentice!" Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Haha, this is actually just one aspect." Han Zhong smiled when he heard this, and then said, "Actually, I mainly feel that you and I are a bit like when I first joined the factory when I was young."

"Huh?" Duan Yun was taken aback when he heard the words.

"At the beginning, I came to work in the factory just after finishing junior high school..." Han Zhong pondered for a moment, and then said: "...It takes three years for other apprentices to become a full-time apprentice, but I can stand alone in the workshop in half a year, and even participate in In the skill competition of the whole factory, I won the No.3 of the lathe worker group, beating many master craftsmen, and the certificate is still in my house..."

"Amazing!" Duan Yun praised.

"But I was also a restless master at that time. It felt too boring to process some simple parts on the lathe every day. At that time, our factory mainly produced single hydraulic props, but the quality was not as good as it is now... ..." Han Zhong squinted his eyes and took another puff of cigarette, and said, "After a long time, like you, the idea of ​​modifying the lathe..."

"It seems that the master is a real master." Duan Yun said with a smile, giving Han Zhong a thumbs up.

"Master!" Han Zhong curled his lips and continued, "It took me a month to refit the lathe reluctantly, but after running for less than half an hour, the main motor of the lathe was burned due to excessive overload... …”

"Pfft." Duan Yun almost laughed when he heard this, and then sighed: "This is really a tragic story..."

"Hey, the factory was very poor when it was first built. I was detained by the police for a week because I modified the lathe without authorization, which is a crime of destroying state-owned assets. In the end, the old factory manager personally interceded and interceded before letting me out. I haven't lost it, I've been grateful to him for the rest of my life... But since then, I've never dared to think about modifying the equipment..." Han Zhong said with emotion on his face.

"Master, don't worry, I'll take care of it if something goes wrong." Duan Yun said while patting his chest.

"Take it down, I'm your master. It's not your turn to take responsibility. If I really don't want to take this responsibility, I'll let you not even touch the edge of this lathe!" Han Zhong threw the cigarette butt in his hand. After stepping on it, he said: "I just want to end the knot in my heart when I was young. Speaking of which, this time I actually got the light of your kid. Even if I fail, it doesn't matter. I'm an old man at most. Guess what, who can do anything to me?"
