Siheyuan: Starting from a fitter

Chapter 111 Mechanical Exoskeleton ([-])
After getting home from get off work, Zhao Ting and Aunt Liu have not come back yet.

Remove the stone on the water tank where the food is stored, and wipe the panel covering it with a rag. After feeling that there is no dust, remove the panel to reveal the meat in the tank.There were two frozen-hard roasted chickens, half a braised fish, a dozen two-faced steamed buns, and three lumps of potato flour.

After thinking for a while, he took out the half fish and two steamed buns and put them on the plate on the dining table. He turned around and covered the water tank again. After placing the stone firmly, he washed his hands in the basin.Add water to the pot, put it on the stove, and start heating the rice.

While waiting for the rice to be hot, I started carving again.After carving the final cut into the blank, the rice is almost ready.To celebrate the completion of the design and manufacture of the mechanical exoskeleton, I took out a bottle of Maotai.

When all the food was gone, there was not much left of the bottle of Moutai.He picked up the wine bottle, shook it, brought it to his mouth, raised his neck, and drank the wine in the bottle.

Feeling dizzy, I returned to bed, fell down and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, I sat on the bed and was stunned for a while. I rubbed my face with my hands, washed myself, practiced Qigong, then got on my bicycle without eating breakfast and ran to the steel rolling mill.

Sitting behind my desk, I was still in a daze, without any desire to work.After thinking about it, it seems that Zhao Ting has not been home for 5 days. In today's state, she should be a little worried about her safety.Next time I go to the old man's house, I'll ask if I can adjust her work.It's too dangerous and always makes me feel uneasy.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Li Huaide came to the laboratory in a hurry, tried the exoskeleton himself, and then left with Wu Liankui after asking everyone in the laboratory to keep it a secret.

It came and went in a hurry.

Bored, Li Guocheng climbed to the window and watched Li Huaide and Wu Liankui get into the car. The direction of the car should be the factory gate.After watching the car spewing black smoke disappear from his sight, he returned to his chair, holding his teacup in a daze.

"Xiao Li, what's the matter with you?"

Wang Gong and Master Yi, who had been paying attention to Li Guocheng's state for a long time, finally couldn't help it, and they walked to Li Guocheng's side and asked.

"Ah", Li Guocheng looked up at Master Yi and Gong Wang. After a while, his eyes regained focus, "What's wrong?"

The two looked at each other, and it was Master Yi who asked: "Xiao Li, you are not in a good state today. What happened?"

Li Guocheng, who had regained his soul, did not want everyone to know his worries, "Master Wang, Mr. Wang, drank too much yesterday and is a little unconscious now."

Seeing the sincerity in Li Guocheng's eyes, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You scared us, drink less in the future!" The two of them returned to their seats dumbfounded.

Li Guocheng picked up the washbasin, filled half of it with cold water, washed his face, and started working after feeling a little more awake.

First, I checked the work that Zhou Xiaojuan and Tang Danian were responsible for and found that Zhou Xiaojuan had completed it and Tang Danian's work was nearing completion.

After arranging for Zhou Xiaojuan to continue mapping the exoskeleton, she found Wang Gong to learn about the manufacturing progress of the vacuum furnace.Without saying a few words, I suddenly received a call from Mr. Zhao, asking him to meet in the evening and bring his exoskeleton.

After putting down the phone, Li Guocheng immediately came back to life with full health, thinking that he would mention Zhao Ting's job transfer to the old man that evening.

I got some canvas from the warehouse and returned to the office in a hurry. "Xiao Zhou, please scrub the exoskeleton. I will use it after get off work."

"Brother Li, Uncle Li, no one is so tossing people, sometimes they want here, sometimes they want there." Zhou Xiaojuan put down her pen and protested angrily to Li Guocheng.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, I have to report to work after work," Li Guocheng said with a smile.

"Xiao Zhou, something really happened to Li Guocheng." Wang Gong helped to smooth things over.

"Humph" Zhou Xiaojuan was still a little unhappy, but then she still helped scrub the exoskeleton.

Li Guocheng smiled, sat down and started cutting the canvas, then sewing, and finally completed the work before leaving get off work.Two canvas bags appeared on his desk.

Zhou Xiaojuan was not happy just now, but now she helped dismantle the exoskeleton and handed it to Li Guocheng.Li Guocheng put the three-part module into one of the canvas bags.Picking up another canvas bag, he came to the assembly workshop, looked around and saw that there was no one around, and put the military exoskeleton and drawings in the secret realm into the canvas bag.

Back in the office, as soon as she put her bag on the desk, Zhou Xiaojuan ran over and saw the military exoskeleton inside, and was immediately attracted by the matte appearance with modern aesthetics.Unlock the rope buckle at the mouth of the canvas bag, take out the leg module from inside, hold it in your hand, look around, there are little stars in your eyes.

"Xiao Li, what kind of craftsmanship are you doing?" Wang Gong, who was attracted by Zhou Xiaojuan's startled breath, asked.

"In the matte process, the metal surface is first polished and then soaked in lye for 3 to 5 minutes to get the current effect," Li Guocheng explained.

Wang Gong took out the crotch module from his bag, observed it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh.

After get off work, Li Guocheng walked out of the laboratory holding a canvas bag in one hand.I saw a young soldier at the door. When he saw Li Guocheng, he came forward, stood at attention and saluted, "Hello, I am sent by Chief Zhao to pick you up."

"Do you know me?" Li Guocheng asked doubtfully.

"I saw you when the commander was on duty," the young soldier replied calmly.

"Please wait a moment." Li Guocheng returned to the laboratory carrying his bag.

"Hey, grandpa, it's me, Li Guocheng. Have you sent someone to pick me up at the factory?" After many transfers, Mr. Zhao was finally contacted by phone.

"Hahaha, yes, don't worry", and then hung up the phone.

In Mr. Zhao's study, there was an old man in military uniform who was about the same age as Mr. Zhao. The four pockets on his upper body showed that he was a cadre.Because the military rank system was abolished last year, one can only identify whether a cadre or a soldier is a soldier by looking at their pockets. The exact age of an officer cannot be identified.

"How's it going? Old Ma, Xiao Li must be vigilant enough." Before leaving get off work, he originally wanted to call Li Guocheng to send a car to pick him up, but was stopped by the soldier surnamed Ma in front of him, who said he wanted to test Li Guocheng.

"Old Zhao, you can become a spirit by sticking your hair on it. Why did you find a son-in-law who is just like you? He is a monkey spirit at a young age."

"Hahaha, go ahead and envy me, you idiot."

Back to the car, the young soldier helped open the back door. Li Guocheng put the two canvas bags on the back seat, walked around the car and sat on the passenger seat.

In less than 15 minutes, Li Guocheng put the bag on the floor of Mr. Zhao's study.

At Mr. Zhao's request, it only took 5 minutes to put the simple version on Mr. Zhao and the military version on the old man in military uniform.If an active-duty soldier is skilled in wearing it, it will not take more than 1 minute at most.

The two walked around the study room, observing each other's equipment. After a few minutes, with the help of Li Guocheng, they removed the exoskeleton and sat back down.

"Is this the mechanical exoskeleton you designed and made yesterday?"

Mr. Zhao's expression was undisguised, and his face was incredible.

"It's not that exaggerated. In fact, it has been conceived for a long time. At that time, I just wanted to design a power-assist device for advanced fitters to improve their strength and body stability. During the design, it slowly evolved into the current two versions."

"Young man, you are really amazing," the old soldier said with a smile on his face.
