Becoming a father in the film and television industry: starting with Xu Huanshan

During the morning, Xu Wenhao asked the workshop director for some paper to write and draw.

The main reason is that he can't make it casually, and he will have to produce it in batches in the future, so it naturally has to be more refined.

In fact, this should be the job of engineers, but it is not impossible for level 7-8 workers to do it.

The earliest technical levels of workers ranged from level one to level eight, with level eight being the highest level. After reaching level eight, workers become worker technicians (equivalent to engineer level) and senior technicians (equivalent to senior engineer level).

But there are very few engineers and senior engineers. They mainly need to come into contact with drawings in the future, and usually only well-educated college students can take on these jobs.

However, some technical engineers do not have many years of working experience in the workshop, so they still need the assistance of some workers to produce equipment. This naturally gives rise to the position of technical master worker after level 8 worker.

To put it bluntly, the reason why level 8 workers are so powerful is mainly because they really make aircraft carrier parts by hand.

It’s just like some modern technical masters. No matter how good you are at operating the equipment, you still need a master to understand how to operate delicate things. Even the R&D personnel may not know how to use a set of equipment, and it takes the master masters to gradually become proficient in it and make it work.

"Old Yi, what are you busy with?"

Zhao Jun, the workshop supervisor, has recently been impressed by Xu Wenhao, so when he heard him asking for paper in the morning and writing and drawing, he came over to take a look out of curiosity.

"I was thinking, if the equipment that our senior workers use to grind themselves can be made by machine tools, can we unify the tools so that our senior workers can also teach the junior fitters."

"Just like using tools, as long as you teach them some methods, at least the efficiency of low-level workers will be improved."

Xu Wenhao also expressed his thoughts.

In the late 40s, lathes with hydraulic profiling devices became popular, and at the same time, multi-tool lathes also developed.

In the mid-50s, program-controlled lathes with punched cards, latch plates, and dials were developed.

CNC technology began to be used in lathes in the 60s and developed rapidly after the 70s.

In fact, these domestic machine tools were all donated by foreign countries in the early days, so they are naturally not that advanced, and some are even about to break down after decades of use.

In other words, these functions are not available at all, and workers usually have to do ordinary work themselves using tools such as calipers.

It is impossible for Xu Wenhao to make a CNC lathe, but some simpler ones can be modified by using some knowledge points.

For example, adding some tools to cooperate with the lathe to improve efficiency, or making a set of equipment according to the workers' work levels, both of which are very helpful.

"You also know these?"

Zhao Jun was also surprised. This was not something that a level 7-8 worker could do. It also required drawing blueprints.

"Well, I'm still trying. My idea is to make it and try it out first. If it doesn't work, I'll use it myself."

"If possible, let the senior engineers try to make an accurate multifunctional tool based on my blueprint."

Xu Wenhao was also very sloppy when painting, because he just didn't want people to see his true level.

"Then you work hard. When you're done, make it and show it to us. I'll have the factory manager take it to the engineers to see if it works."

Zhao Jun is so happy now.

If Xu Wenhao succeeds, he, as the workshop director, will also be proud.

Xu Wenhao seemed to be thinking, but actually he was just sleeping in.

Just kidding, it’s not easy for him to do these things. It’s actually not difficult to make a suitable tool.

The main thing is to adapt to the times, not to exceed too much at once, and to be helpful to the country.

As for other high-tech or things that can increase foreign exchange earnings, well, that will have to wait a few years. It would be outrageous to bring them out too early.

Now the tools are fine, in fact, it is a manifestation of his job that requires more knowledge, but you make a machine...

Before leaving get off work in the afternoon, Xu Wenhao handed a few scribbled drawings to Zhao Jun, who hurriedly took them to Director Yang.

This won’t happen so quickly. Whether it works well or not depends on the engineers’ measurements and production of the product for the workers to try.

In fact, it is just an improvement on the original tools, such as the old "Hugong brand" table vises and files from the 60s and 70s. In fact, no one has ever thought of combining several tools together, but Xu Wenhao improved it into one.

It's like a Phillips head screwdriver and a Pozidriv head screwdriver. Who has ever thought of making the two heads different and directly converting them into two forms of one tool? Now Xu Wenhao has improved it in one tool.

PS: I used common knowledge to think about it. If I find any mistakes, please tell me immediately and I will correct it on the same day. Don't complain about me. At least I am more reliable. It's not possible for a single worker to come up with any large-scale equipment.

Don’t think these tools are useless. You should know that after they are produced, they can even be made into hardware products for sale.

What's more, the country is now engaged in large-scale production. If this kind of tool can be mass-produced, it can actually be used as a brand to generate revenue.

After returning to the courtyard, Xu Wenhao also greeted Yan Bugui and then went in.

"Master."

When Jia Zhang saw Xu Wenhao, she immediately greeted him.

"What's wrong, Jia Zhang?"

Seeing that Jia Zhang was looking for him, Xu Wenhao asked in a calm tone.

"Um, I want to ask if you can talk to the factory and let our Dongxu complete his apprenticeship."

"As you know, there are three people in our family now, and we are still preparing to have a baby. If we have one more child, how can we support four people with Dongxu's salary?"

Jia Zhang also started crying poor.

"Why don't you help your family more? You are lazy and eat all day, while other aunties know how to go to the streets to do some handicrafts to supplement their family income."

"You can sew shoe soles, why don't you go and make some shoes? It will be no problem."

"How can I make the decision about things in the factory? Everyone is like this. How can I help Dongxu to say something like this?"

Xu Wenhao also first pointed out Jia Zhang's problem, and then said that Jia Dongxu's apprenticeship period was the same for everyone, so how could it change because of him.

"Uncle, I am not feeling well. Otherwise, I wouldn't be like this every day."

"You are Dongxu's apprentice, why are you helping him...what's wrong?"

Jia Zhang felt embarrassed to say this and could only lower her head and complain.

"What a joke! If it weren't for the fact that you two are orphans and widows, I wouldn't have accepted your Dongxu as my apprentice."

"Don't you see how other people become apprentices, and how Dongxu became one?"

"Have you ever visited my home during the holidays? Have you ever studied seriously?"

"He doesn't study hard, so even if he passes the apprenticeship, he can only be a Level 1 worker, right?"

Xu Wenhao was not polite either.

In the past, Yi Zhonghai wanted Jia Dongxu to take care of him in his old age, but now he doesn't need it anymore, so there is naturally no need for him to be nice to him.

The other people in the courtyard covered their mouths and laughed, wondering how shameless Jia Zhang was that the mother of an apprentice would go to the master to make demands.
