Fifteen minutes, Edgar Austin completed the operation in just fifteen minutes. Under normal circumstances, he would have finished his work and handed over the shaft he machined to the engineer for verification, but he did not do so.
"Mr. Edgar, have you done it?"Asher Gellar said with a smile. Edgar Austin completed the processing so smoothly. His "uncle" actually has a lot of face, so he seemed very happy.
An engineer also said: "Mr. Edgar, have you done it? If you do, just give it to me and I will take it to test it."
Edgar Austin shook his head, "You have lowered the accuracy of this machine tool. The accuracy of the axis I machined is only 0.0005MM. This is not considered complete." After a pause, he said lightly: "Also, this machine The accuracy requirement of imported bearings is actually 0.00009, which is a millimeter difference, but it cannot make it work properly. I am sure that even if the imported machine tool does not change the processing accuracy in advance, it cannot process parts that meet the standard. I guess, You must have tried many times before without success, right?"
After Edgar Austin finished speaking, the entire workshop was silent.
The engineer who was the first to question Edgar Austin secretly glanced at Daleyza. The look in his eyes was very strange, and Daleyza avoided his look with some guilt.
"What's going on?"Asher Gellar got a little angry, "Did I ask you to lower the accuracy of the lathe? Whoever asked you to adjust it should stand up."
The engineer who was the first to question Edgar Austin glanced at Daleyza again, and Daleyza's face turned pale.
At this time, an old engineer said: "Chairman Asher, I adjusted the machine. I just want to test Mr. Edgar's skills. Not only does he have superb skills, but he also has a unique vision. I admire him."
Asher Gellar looked at the old engineer, a little displeased, but it was not obvious, "Peter West, aren't you just looking for trouble? I finally hired a master, so it's better for you to just make trouble for me."
Daleyza secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a trace of blood on her pale face.
Edgar Austin saw all this and knew it well. Daleyza took the blame. This old man came out to be the scapegoat, and Daleyza's husband is also called Hector West. Do you still need to bother guessing the relationship between these two people?
Peter West Gong bowed to Edgar Austin, "I'm sorry, Mr. Edgar, please forgive me."
Regardless of the relationship between Peter West and Daleyza, a gray-haired old engineer apologized to him, and the unhappiness in Edgar Austin's heart disappeared. He then stepped forward to help Peter West up and said, "It's okay. Yes, it’s okay. Engineer Liu did this out of consideration for the overall situation. You don’t need to apologize to me. You really don’t need to.” 1
Peter West patted Edgar Austin on the shoulder and chuckled: "Young man, I rarely admire people, but you are one of them. Tell me, how did you tell that the machine tool has been adjusted to lower accuracy? How did you know this? Is there a machine tool that can’t process the parts we need?”
"Experience, experience."Edgar Austin gave an answer that was not an answer. He definitely wouldn't say that I could see it with my eyes. If he said that, I don't know how many jaws would drop on the ground.
"Hide it and hide it."Peter West said with a smile: "However, it is not a secret for people in our industry to keep a secret. Well, I won't ask you the reason. However, what I want to say is that currently we have no way Even if we can barely process the parts of this imported bearing, we still can't make it operate normally." He then looked at Asher Gellar and said, "Chairman Asher, it's not me who poured cold water on this young man. We don't have better machine tools and technology. , he simply cannot process the parts we need, so we should report it and find ways to import it from abroad. This is the way to solve the problem."
Asher Gellar frowned and said: "Now foreign countries have implemented a stricter technology blockade policy on us. It's not that we don't want to buy better machine tools, but they won't sell them. Now, precision machining parts and materials that are suspected of being used in national defense construction are all If you are restricted from trading, if you can buy it, I, the chairman, will let you do it immediately."
These words were so angry that no matter how hard his bones were, Peter West would not dare to touch them head-on. He kept his mouth shut.
At this time, Edgar Austin said: "Actually, we don't need a more advanced lathe. I can handle the shaft required for this bearing by hand."
The workshop suddenly became quiet again, without any sound. Everyone's eyes were focused on Edgar Austin, and everyone's eyes were so strange.
Peter West said: "Young man, you have the ability, I admit that, but it is not good to talk big words, and your big words are simply a joke. Can your hands be better than the high-precision machine tools imported from the Will? What are you doing? Do you want to challenge the IQ of all of us?"
Someone echoed: "Even so, your words are too unreliable, right?"
Someone else said: "Young man, if you say you can't do it, that's a shame. You'd better think about it before you say anything."
A sarcastic voice.
Daleyza smiled inexplicably, and said in her heart: "I don't know when Edgar Austin learned this skill, but I know his tendency to be pushy. After so many years, he still hasn't gotten rid of this bad habit. . My father-in-law is the most senior engineer in the country, and what he says is always correct. This kid got away with it just now, but this time he really can’t tell the lie. "
Lola Gellar also stared at Edgar Austin, her eyes full of worry.
Edgar Austin didn't argue with anyone. He took off the processed shaft and turned towards an ordinary manual lathe in the corner of the workshop.
"He actually wants to use that antique lathe to process high-precision parts? Are you kidding me?" someone said.
"This kid is really unexpected in every way, but I don't believe he can succeed this time." Someone said.
There was another murmuring discussion about everything.
Asher Gellar also lost his temper. He pulled Lola Gellar aside and asked in a low voice: "Is your boyfriend okay?"
Lola Gellar's pretty face blushed slightly, "I don't know, Second Uncle, you know I don't know much about your business. However, I told you about how he repaired the compass of the Ming Dynasty. His craftsmanship is really good. Very. Whether you believe him or not, I believe him anyway."
Asher Gellar smiled bitterly, "Of course you believe him, but I have to face these stubborn old men. Even nine cows can't pull back what they are sure about. To be honest, this time I won't I really hope your boyfriend succeeds, I really want to see these stubborn old men slapped in the face. You said, the times are progressing, why don’t they want to progress? "
"I'd better go watch Edgar work."Lola Gellar turned around and left.
"You..."Asher Gellar sighed.
While everyone was talking about it, the antique lathe was already running. Edgar Austin stared at the rotating shaft, and then slowly lowered the turning tool. In the eyes of others, Edgar Austin never touched the rotating machining shaft with the turning tool, but in Edgar Austin's eyes, the turning tool was already chipping away at the surface of the shaft. There was no obvious sound of friction, and no metal shavings could even be seen falling, but his manual high-precision processing was quietly going on.
Five minutes later, he stopped the lathe, wiped the shaft body with a clean rag dipped in oil, and then said, "Okay, you can take it and try it."
No one went up, and a large group of elderly engineers looked at Edgar Austin dumbfounded, as if what Edgar Austin was holding was not a hand-processed high-precision shaft, but a grenade that would explode if anyone touched it.
Edgar Austin spread his hands, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Peter West's eyes suddenly fell on the oil-soaked rag in Edgar Austin's hand, and he couldn't take his eyes away. Just now, no one thought that Edgar Austin was processing the shaft, but this rag was stained with extremely fine metal shavings!
"Hello?"Asher Gellar spoke again, "What are you all doing in a daze? Didn't you hear what Mr. Edgar said? Mr. Edgar has processed something, why don't you take it for testing!"
"Oh, now!"Peter West finally came to his senses. He quickly stepped forward to take the shaft that Edgar Austin had processed and took it for testing.
A large group of engineers followed Peter West, talking about it in a lively manner.
Edgar Austin was not interested in watching those old men test, he believed in his eyes.
Asher Gellar walked over excitedly to see the test results. Lola Gellar walked towards Edgar Austin. When she got closer, she asked in a low voice: "Mr. Edgar, was it successful?"
Edgar Austin nodded, "I think it was successful. It's not difficult at all."
Lola Gellar hit Edgar Austin and said with a smile, "Smelly."
Daleyza looked at the intimacy between Edgar Austin and Lola Gellar, her eyes became more and more complicated.
At this moment, Asher Gellar suddenly burst out laughing, "Success! Damn it! Foreign technological blockades are nothing! My family can process it with their hands!"
The CEO of a large state-owned enterprise uttered obscenities, which seemed more surprising than the fact that Edgar Austin processed high-precision components by hand. Everyone's eyes were focused on Asher Gellar, who was overwhelmed with joy. They probably couldn't find words to describe Asher Gellar at this moment.
"Well, cough..."Asher Gellar tugged on his tie and returned to his serious look in a blink of an eye, "Very good, very good, you all have seen it, you can't accept it. No one should make a report in front of me in the future. I don’t like to hear about finding ways to import something from foreign countries. The urgently needed batch of precision-machined parts will be left to Mr. Edgar. No matter what he needs, you must satisfy him unconditionally. If anyone causes sabotage, I will let him go. Get out!"
If Edgar Austin said this as soon as he came to Asher Gellar, this group of engineers would definitely be dissatisfied with him, and their objections would not be quiet, but now no one objects.
Asher Gellar added: "Secretary Daleyza, Mr. Edgar will be working here during this period, and you will be responsible for his food and daily life."
"Okay, Chairman Asher."Daleyza smiled sweetly.
"Let's go, let's go."Asher Gellar had no patience to face these old men anymore. He waved to Edgar Austin and said cordially: "Mr. Edgar, let's go to the office to talk about the contract."
Edgar Austin also showed a friendly smile, "Okay."
Daleyza followed Edgar Austin. Just when Asher Gellar and Lola Gellar turned around and walked out of the workshop, she said in a very small voice: "Edgar, don't leave in a hurry after you finish talking to Chairman Asher about the business." , we haven’t seen each other for several years, I’ll buy you a cup of coffee and let’s have a good chat.”
Edgar Austin smiled, "Aren't you afraid that your brother Nicky Wu will misunderstand you?"
Daleyza seemed to have a fish bone stuck in her throat.
