73: Just have hands

Buzz buzz…

The machine tool started, emitting a humming sound.

Under Master Cui's questioning gaze, Li Mubai picked up the raw material for a part and fixed it onto the machine tool.

"What is he going to do? Is he really going to hand-make the part?"

Cui Guangsheng's eyelids twitched.

Although he was unwilling to believe that Li Mubai was going to make a part, Li Mubai's current actions all indicated that he was indeed going to make a part!

"What a joke! Are high-precision parts that easy to make? Does a young man in his twenties have that kind of experience?"

He scoffed inwardly.

It wasn't that he was arrogant or looked down on people.

It was just that…

When he used to work in the factory,

Those young people in their twenties basically couldn't produce high-precision parts.

Some masters,

Even after working for ten years, their control over precision was still very weak.

Those Eight-Grade Fitters,

Which one of them wasn't an old master in his forties or fifties?

To want to achieve the precision of an Eight-Grade Fitter in his twenties was a pipe dream!

If he could truly achieve it,

Then he would be a genius among geniuses.

Such a person is rare to encounter in a hundred years, one in ten thousand!

At least,

In all his years as a fitter, he had never met one.

At the same time,

Li Mubai had already picked up a tool and began to process the part.

The tool struck the part's prototype, emitting a harsh grinding sound.

He was fully focused, his eyes fixed intently on the point where the tool met the part's prototype, his eyelids unblinking, his eyeballs motionless, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Whether the part's precision met the requirements depended entirely on this step.

If he was careless in this step, and there was even a slight deviation in the force of his hand, then this part's prototype would not become a qualified part. The reason was simple: the precision would not be met.

He was actually processing a part!

Cui Guangsheng's pupils constricted, his face showing surprise.

However…

The next second, he smiled with relief.

Perhaps he just found processing parts fun and wanted to give it a try.

Isn't that how young people are?

Curious about everything, with a competitive spirit.

Once he experienced the difficulty, he would naturally become fearful and retreat.

Immediately,

Cui Guangsheng no longer paid attention to Li Mubai but walked to another machine tool and started it.

He had already generally understood the previous blueprint.

Now he had to work hard to earn that high salary of two thousand five.

He was not someone who liked ease and disliked work, nor was he someone who liked to cut corners.

Since he was getting such a high salary,

He had to be worthy of that salary and Li Mubai's appreciation.

And working diligently and hard,

Was precisely the best way to repay him.

Before long,

A brand new part was produced.

Cui Guangsheng removed the part from the machine tool, then took it to the measuring instrument nearby.

After a part was made, its precision still needed to be tested.

Only if the precision met the standard could it be considered truly successfully made.

Otherwise,

That part would have to be scrapped.

Cui Guangsheng was already thoroughly familiar with the use of the measuring device.

He was calm and steady.

He fixed the part onto the measuring instrument, then checked the dial reading.

13.125 millimeters.

Perfectly met the precision requirements!

Seeing this,

Cui Guangsheng's stern face relaxed, revealing a light, cheerful smile.

He removed the part, intending to place it in the basket he had prepared.

As he turned around,

He suddenly noticed that Li Mubai had also just removed a part from the machine tool.

"Boss, how does it feel?"

Cui Guangsheng smiled faintly, he was asking about the difficulty of making the part.

Li Mubai was stunned, then smiled broadly:

"It's great! Other than being very mentally taxing, everything else is fine."

Upon hearing this,

Cui Guangsheng secretly shook his head.

Young people, not knowing the difficulties of precision machining, actually thought it was good.

He wanted to preach some reason.

But after thinking seriously, the other party was his boss, why say such things?

It might even cause unnecessary resentment.

Why bother with such a superfluous act?

As long as the other party was happy, it was fine.

When young people got tired of playing, they would naturally lose interest in this…

He went to the basket for parts and carefully placed the part at the bottom of the basket.

Although the steel used for this part was extraordinary, he still dared not throw it directly into the basket.

If there was even a slight bump,

Then this painstakingly made part would be scrapped, which would be a waste of effort.

Just as he let out a sigh of relief,

Cui Guangsheng saw another young hand, holding a silver-white part, placing it into the basket.

He turned his head sharply.

He just saw Li Mubai nodding and smiling at him.

"Nonsense!"

Cui Guangsheng mentally shouted, and quickly reached out to take out the part Li Mubai had placed in the basket.

Throwing unqualified parts into the basket, what was this if not nonsense?

When there were more and more parts later, how would he find the problematic ones?

"Boss, have you measured this part? Can it meet the precision requirements?"

He held the part at his chest, asking with a serious expression.

"No?"

Li Mubai was a little confused.

Why was Master Cui asking this?

"If it's not measured, how do you know if it's qualified or not? This basket is for qualified parts. If unqualified parts are put here, what if there's a problem during assembly later?"

Cui Guangsheng said, softening his tone as much as possible.

Hearing this,

Li Mubai was stunned.

This sentence made him a little unsure of himself.

His ability was bestowed by the system when he exchanged for the machine tool.

It could be said that

He himself was now a master, a grandmaster among fitters.

Even if Cui Guangsheng made a precision error when making parts, he would not make such an error.

As long as a part was made by his hand, it would not be substandard.

Initially,

He also had the same concerns as Cui Guangsheng did now.

But after trying several times, he found that as long as the parts he made were made by himself, there would be no errors.

Since then,

He had not measured parts after making them.

And now,

Cui Guangsheng was actually questioning the precision of his part.

Li Mubai found it a little amusing.

But he couldn't blame the other party.

After all, Cui Guangsheng didn't know about his system.

Perhaps,

In his eyes, he was just a clueless young lad.

"Master Cui, I'm not playing around. The required precision for this part is 16.136 millimeters, with an error of no more than 0.005 millimeters to the left or right. If you don't believe me, you can measure it and see."

Li Mubai's eyes revealed a confident gaze.

Seeing Li Mubai so confident, Cui Guangsheng, with a look of suspicion, placed the part on the measuring device and then fixed it.

After doing all this,

He then looked at the dial.

On it,

The pointer on the dial was pointing to a data.

16.136!

How is this possible!

Cui Guangsheng's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.

This data, neither more nor less, perfectly matched the standard data, and it was precisely accurate to the smallest fraction!

Even he, an old master, couldn't achieve such pinpoint accuracy.

More precisely,

As long as it was done manually, it was impossible to achieve perfect accuracy.

No matter how skilled a master was, there would always be a slight deviation of one or two threads from the standard line.

And Li Mubai, this young man, was actually able to achieve perfect accuracy!

This was truly unbelievable!

"You, how did you do that?"

Cui Guangsheng asked, his lips trembling.

Li Mubai smiled calmly:

"It's not difficult at all, isn't it something anyone with hands can do?"
