Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 48

In the evening, Duan Yun went to the night shift as usual.

After an hour of manual processing, seeing the absence of the squad leader, he continued to plan to install the components for automated processing.

But Duan Yun had just opened the tool cabinet when he realized that something was wrong.

It turned out that when he was cleaning up the workstation two days ago, the servo motor had always been placed at the bottom and innermost position, but now it is placed in the front.

Obviously, his toolbox should have been touched.

After Duan Yun quickly checked the other things in the box, he was relieved when he found that no workpiece was missing.

In fact, Duan Yun is not worried that others will find these things in his cabinets, because almost everyone in the workshop has more or less 'private goods' in the tool cabinets, but as long as the factory is not brought out, it is not a violation of the factory. Regulations, so Duan Yun guessed that maybe other workers saw that the door of the box was not closed, and looked at the contents out of curiosity.

Duan Yun, who was relieved, quickly assembled the workpiece on the lathe and started today's automatic processing.

Standing aside and staring at the machine was a bit boring, Duan Yun took out his drawing book from the box again, and was going to design a modified sketch of an automatic gear hobbing machine tonight.

But when Duan Yun turned the book to the middle, he found that two pages of paper had been torn off.

Duan Yun clearly remembered that on these two pages were the sketches he had drawn about the modification of this lathe, and the dimensions and three-dimensional renderings of the various components he needed were also marked.

This suddenly aroused Duan Yun's vigilance.

In Duan Yun's view, the two pages were probably taken away by someone who knows mechanics, because in this book, except for the two pages of specific diagrams, the other pages are drawn with some calculation formulas and without any The part sketch of the data has no reference value.

In a workshop, basically any skilled lathe, including technicians, can understand this kind of mechanical drawings, so Duan Yun is still not sure who stole the two sketches.

But soon, the corner of Duan Yun's mouth evoked a radian.

The reason is very simple. These two pages of drawings are the original modified drawings designed by Duan Yun at the beginning, but Duan Yun did not consider it enough at that time. Some parts were designed unreasonably. In addition, the specific size parameters of some parts were not accurate. , did not take into account the degree of wear and tear of the machine over the past few decades, and the real modification drawings are memorized in my mind, those two drawings are actually useless!

And if you use those two drawings to modify the lathe, it may cause some serious mechanical failures or even damage the original lathe!

In addition, Duan Yun had already left a hand before, and he did not put all the modified workpieces in the toolbox. Among them, there are three key pinion parts that link the bearings are placed under the toolbox and are only two fingers wide from the ground. On the ground, it is difficult for ordinary people to notice.

Duan Yun knew that there was no airtight wall, and it was only a matter of time before others found out that he modified the lathe by himself, so he kept his hands early to avoid his own efforts to make wedding dresses for others.

In addition, Duan Yun is essentially a person who does not get up early. He also knows that there are no patents these days. If the factory does not give him enough benefits, then he only needs to hide these three key parts. The lathe It is impossible to realize automatic production.

This is exactly the same as the way Duan Yun installed an anti-piracy device on his antenna before.

Picking up the pen, Duan Yun began to conceive the drawing of the gear hobbing machine again...

……

When it was time to take over in the morning, Duan Yun put the processed over 700 stigmas into the warehouse as yesterday, changed into his clothes and left.

At the same time, Tian Feng, who had just taken over from the early shift, changed his clothes and did not wander around the workshop, but went directly to his office.

Opening the data cabinet, Tian Feng took out a half-drawn drawing and laid it flat on the desk.

Getting up and locking the office door, Tian Feng took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket.

These were the two sketches torn from the book in Duan Yun's tool cabinet.

Picking up the compass and square, Tian Feng had a bit of excitement on his face. He carefully perfected the remaining sketches according to Duan Yun's two sketches...

……

At 12:30 in the afternoon, after having lunch, Duan Yun rode his bicycle to the place that he had agreed with Cao Dong who was grabbing the tortilla last night.

"It's very early." Seeing Cao Dong waiting there early, Duan Yun greeted with a smile.

"You said yesterday that you would find me a job, does that count?" Cao Dong obviously didn't have any trust in Duan Yun, but he really didn't have any other means of making a living.

"If it doesn't count, I won't be able to come today." Duan Yun said with a pouted lip.

"What exactly is the job?"

"Don't worry, it's definitely not illegal." Duan Yun took out a cigarette, lit it, took a sip, and said, "And it definitely earns more than the average worker in our factory!"

"It's fine if you don't break the law." Cao Dong nodded and said, "But I have two conditions."

"Go ahead."

"First, you'll pay me some wages in advance! Second, I haven't had lunch yet..." Cao Dong hesitated and said.

"No, where's the pancake I gave you yesterday?" Duan Yun asked with a frown.

"I ate it in the morning..."

"You ate all the pancakes from last night to this morning?" Duan Yun was taken aback when he heard this, and then said, "That's more than 20 corn pancakes!"

"Finished."

"Okay." Duan Yun can see it. It is estimated that Cao Dong must have been hungry for a long time before he met him last night, so he said, "Let's go, I'll take you to lunch."

"Yeah." Cao Dong nodded when he heard the words and followed behind Duan Yun.

Walking to the street in the factory area, Cao Dong's eyes immediately turned to the stall selling boiled corn and pancakes on the side of the street, while Duan Yun led him straight to the only state-run restaurant in the factory area.

"Brother, this place is expensive, you can make do with it on the side of the road." Cao Dong said in a low voice when he saw that Duan Yun was about to enter the restaurant.

For the people of later generations, it is very rare and common to go to restaurants to eat, but in the early 80s, meat, grain, oil, eggs, etc. were in limited supply. Eating a restaurant is a thing worth bragging about for two days. Ordinary people are reluctant to go to a restaurant next time. They only invite others to "go to a restaurant" for a bit of glory when they are on holidays or when there is a "significant" event.

"You are a kind person, and you actually want to save me money." Duan Yun patted Cao Dong's shoulder with a smile and said, "Don't worry, you won't be able to eat enough for me."
