Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Jiang Feng already had this knowledge in his memory. He kept recording it in a notebook and simply wrote down the order. Anyway, no one would look at this information until everything was completed. After the dismantling was completed, Jiang Feng arranged for a few people to do the cleaning work first, and then he went to find Zhang Jiacheng with a few badly worn parts in his hand.

This time the factory's senior technical workers had to take action. The parts were badly worn and could not be used, but this kind of steel was available in the factory, so they had to find a veteran worker to see if it could be machined out. Zhang Jiacheng saw nothing he could do, so he had to take the case to see Director Yang. Director Yang looked at the parts and the relevant size requirements, and directly called the directors of the No. 1 and No. 2 workshops over. After explaining the situation, he said that this kind of part could be made by a level 6 fitter.

Jiang Feng gave the size requirements to the workshop director, and asked him to make ten of each type first. This kind of easily worn parts is probably the case for many equipments. After Jiang Feng saw that things were arranged, he returned to the workshop and helped clean up the dismantled machine. After all the parts were cleaned, Jiang Feng began to arrange the assembly. Before the parts were processed, one-third should be installed, and the others would have to wait for the parts to be processed before they could continue.

In less than two days, the parts from the workshop were delivered, two of the same. They said they would first check whether they met the requirements. If there were no problems, they would process the rest. It must be said that it was not an exaggeration to say that an eighth-level fitter could hand-knead an "equality device for all beings". With the size specifications, it was not too simple. Jiang Feng measured them and found that they all met the qualified standards, and a few of them had excellent precision.

Just install a few excellent ones first, repeat the procedures, and do boring work. It took another four days to install the equipment. The whole equipment was brand new and exuded a brown luster. Jiang Feng found Zhang Jiacheng and asked him to invite Director Yang to come over. If the operation was successful but the leader was not there, then something was missing.

When Director Yang heard that the equipment was assembled so quickly, he was also surprised, but he still came along, along with Deputy Director Wang. Deputy Director Wang first stepped forward to inspect the equipment and nodded to Director Yang, who waved his hand and said, "Start it up."

Zhang Jiacheng turned the switch, and a roar sounded. The machine started to run. Zhang Jiacheng called a level 5 fitter in from outside. With the prepared workpiece, Jiang Feng walked over and tested the voltage first to ensure that the voltage and current of the empty machine were normal. The fitter took the workpiece and started processing it as required. Several people held their breath and only heard the sound of friction. After more than 20 minutes, the processing was completed. After turning off the machine, Jiang Feng picked up the measuring tool and measured the workpiece. He held up the workpiece and said, "Pass."

Director Yang took the lead in applauding, with an expression of excitement visible on his face. This time, the assembly and repair was completed by the technical department alone, thanks to Director Yang's good leadership. Director Yang walked up to Jiang Feng and said, "Comrade Jiang Feng, it was repaired so easily. It's unbelievable. Can we repair it in batches like this? I remember that this type of lathe was the most common in the scrap workshop before."

Jiang Feng said to Director Yang, "Director Yang, yes, this type of machine is the most common. It took a total of ten days from disassembly to assembly, including more than one day of waiting for parts. This is the first time. Next time, there is no need to keep records. If we disassemble and assemble according to the records, the time should be compressed to about seven days. However, it also depends on the problems found. If they are all of this type of problem, then it will be easy to handle."

Director Yang calculated the time and said to Jiang Feng, "One machine is not enough. If we start recruiting people now, there are still more than 20 days before the New Year holiday, and we can repair several machines."

"Director, do you mean to repair a few more machines?"

"Yes, I plan to invite the leaders above to come before the New Year to ensure that at least ten machines are running at the same time. With this number, we basically won't need to rely on imports of this type of lathe in the future. We can make them ourselves."

Jiang Feng didn't expect that Director Yang had such great ambitions. If lathes could be produced by themselves, what about other machines in the future? Just based on this point, Director Yang would have no problem entering the Ministry of Metallurgy before the trend started.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Feng said, "That means we need to dismantle and assemble ten machines at the same time, which requires at least forty to fifty people. We also need to consider that some equipment cannot be repaired, and the workshop must have dedicated personnel to process parts, so that it is possible to complete the task before the New Year."

"I will give you 50 people, including 10 senior workers. Half of this workshop will be used for repairs. If there are any problems that cannot be handled, you can report them to me at any time and I will arrange them. Comrade Jiang Feng, are you sure that your technical department can complete it?"

"Yes, I guarantee that I will complete the task."

"Okay, tell the workers you selected that after completing the task, each of them will be rewarded with 10 yuan in cash as an overtime benefit."

Director Yang made wishes and distributed money, showing his courage. However, he still had to see the benefits before he would be motivated. After Jiang Feng accepted the task, he pulled Zhang Jiacheng to start selecting people. This time there was no need to separate them. Half of the workshops were stopped directly, the workstations were cleared, and lathes were moved from outside to the workshop. The news was also publicized in the workshop: voluntary registration will be very tiring, and overtime work will be required. Moreover, the best will be selected, and only workers who are very familiar with mechanical equipment can be selected. They are required to register with Director Zhang.

In one day, forty skilled maintenance workers were selected. At least they would be able to dismantle the machinery much faster. After get off work, Zhang Jiacheng brought all the technical department personnel to a meeting with these people. He told them what they needed to do and the factory's rewards. Starting tomorrow, they would work overtime until 9 o'clock in the evening and have dinner in the factory. They should go home today to arrange their family affairs, as they will not have so much time tomorrow. During the rush period, no personal leave would be allowed.

These selected workers have just learned that the machine repair workshop has already repaired a machine tool that was about to be scrapped, and now they have to complete the repair of ten lathes within 20 days. They are extremely excited. In the past, the technical department said that they could not be repaired, so they just pulled the machines into the warehouse and did not even dare to dismantle them. If they succeed this time, they will be able to repair all the machines themselves in the future.

The next morning, ten lathes were in place. Zhang Jiacheng assigned work to the technical staff. One person was in charge of two lathes. They all had a record copied out from the previous night's overtime work. Now three people were assigned to dismantle each machine and one person was assigned to clean it. In less than three days, only the shelves of the ten machines were left. Jiang Feng not only had to keep an eye on the dismantling of the machines, but also had to check the cleaned parts, record any wear and tear, mark the dimensions, and arrange for one to be sent to the workshop for processing.

After dismantling this batch of equipment, it was found that most of these devices were due to improper maintenance, which caused serious wear of internal parts and made them unable to start up. Some of them had irregular operation of worn parts, which would cause more parts to wear. Jiang Feng was confident that as long as the workshop could produce it, there would be no problem completing the task before the New Year.

After the disassembly was completed, all the personnel began to clean the equipment, including some broken and flattened frames. They replaced or welded what needed to be replaced. Liu Jianguo and Huang Lei followed Jiang Feng throughout the process. When they found a worn part, they took it to the workshop with the marked dimensions. Anyway, they treated it as a common spare part and made a minimum of ten parts.

After the first batch of processed parts arrived, Jiang Feng began to arrange personnel to assemble them. The workshop was bustling with activity while assembling and waiting. During this period, Director Yang also came to see them several times. After Zhang Jiacheng made a guarantee that the task could be completed on time, Director Yang never came again.

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Director Yang led several deputy directors and Zhang Jiacheng from the technical department to stand at the factory gate, looking at the roadside from time to time. At nine o'clock in the morning, the roar of small cars was heard in the distance. When the cars stopped, Director Yang came to the first car and opened the door. The big leader got out. The two said a few words, and the people in the cars behind came over. Today, more than a dozen leaders of all sizes from the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry came, driving four cars over. The director and deputy director greeted them separately.

After everyone arrived, the leader asked, "Director Yang, are you ready?"

"Report to the leader, everything is ready, everyone follow me." Director Yang took the lead and followed the big leader about half a body length behind, guiding the direction. Several deputy directors followed with several leaders. People from the workshop who came out to do business or go to the toilet saw it and hurried to the workshop.

After a while, the big leader and his group came to the machine repair workshop. They first stood outside and looked around. Jiang Feng and others were also standing at the door of the workshop waiting. The big leader saw Jiang Feng at a glance and said, "This young comrade, what's your name? Were you the one who attended the meeting last time?"

"Hello, leader. My name is Jiang Feng. I feel ashamed to trouble you to come and handle my little matter in person."

"Why should I be ashamed? I heard from Xiao Yang that you were in charge of repairing the equipment this time. It seems that my last trip was not in vain. At least the factory discovered you, a genius in mechanical maintenance."

"I'm really sorry for the compliment. It's Director Zhang who took the lead, Director Yang and the factory leaders who gave strong support, and the hard work of the workshop workers that have led to the current achievements."

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, don't underestimate yourself. Being able to lead workers to complete independent mechanical repair work is a great progress. We are here today to visit and learn. When conditions are ripe, we will promote these experiences throughout the country. You have made a great contribution."

Factory Director Yang, who was standing nearby, watched the two men talking nonstop and said to the senior leader, "Leader, why don't we watch the power-on ceremony first? Once it's running normally, we can also sort out the data earlier."
