Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

They tried it twice before, but the results were not ideal.

The most recent attempt achieved the effect required by the drawings.

However, the furnace body deformed after only half an hour.

The situation isn't serious, but it does indicate that there are still flaws in the technology.

They can't just hand it in like this; if something goes wrong during use, people could die.

At that time, let alone punishment.

The masters present were tormented by guilt for the rest of their lives.

If we're going to build something, we'll build it well and make it excellent.

"Okay, then I'll go and urge everyone." Li Yaoguo ate his food and walked out.

"Yaoguo, let everyone catch their breath. I'll take another look and thoroughly understand the blueprints."

Yang Jianguo stopped him, saying that haste makes waste.

Besides, he hasn't finished grinding through all the blueprint experience yet!

I didn't see any +16 or +20...

Oh, he can't see it either.

That's fine...

This is indeed a challenging task for the refineries below.

With Yang Jianguo's level 6 riveting skills, he spent two days and failed three times.

Only after learning from failures could I roughly understand the blueprints.

Fortunately, I received another 'job promotion card' when I checked in this morning.

With it, Yang Jianguo dared to say he had completely mastered the blueprints.

Moreover, as experience points increase.

He felt he could make some minor improvements to the design.

He acted on his impulse without even eating.

"Hua Zi, go and apply for a blank blueprint. Tell them I want to improve the technology."

At this point, you have to apply for the blueprints; each one is extremely valuable.

With limited knowledge and skills, I might not even use one a year.

Therefore, the quotas are all unusually small.

There are only about ten such permits available at the steel rolling mill, and it's not something the average person can easily get.

At the very least, you need to produce something that will convince people.

Only then can I give you the blueprints. If you try them and make a mistake, you might get a scolding.

But if Yang Jianguo wants it, there's definitely no problem!

Hua Zi, who had just wolfed down his rice, immediately thought, "You're here again?"

How long has it been since the last technological improvement, and there are already new ideas?

"Okay, I'm going right now." After putting down his lunchbox and wiping his mouth, Hua Zi ran towards the office.

Upon arriving at the location, the director's face darkened as soon as he mentioned needing to request blueprints.

But when Hua Zi mentioned, "Master Yang sent me here."

The director's face instantly broke into a wide grin.

Chapter 72 Yang Jianguo has another idea, which alarms the factory director.

Well, Master Yang has another idea.

OK, great!

"Give me a..."

"Take two blueprints, come on, I'll go with you."

Armed with the blueprints, the two headed straight for the special workshop.

"Director, what are you busy with?"

"Master Yang has some ideas, I'll go take a look."

"Master Yang? Yang Jianguo!"

"Yes." The director walked away, but the news spread.

When he arrived at the workshop, Director Yang had also heard rumors.

"Is Jianguo up to something again?" Director Yang was getting restless.

I got up to leave, but then looked back at my phone.

In the end, I decided to go and see for myself first.

If there are any ideas for improvement, it's not too late to inform the higher-ups then.

At this moment, Director Yang also wanted to say, "This Jianguo is truly my lucky star!"

Factory Director Yang also came to the workshop.

But not only did no one pay attention to him, they didn't even see him.

Everyone was gathered around the workbench in the center of the workshop, eager to see Yang Jianguo's improvements to the design drawings.

At first glance, it looks like a copy of the blueprints.

However, the changes are abrupt and jarring in the core and critical areas.

The seemingly minor changes actually produced significant results.

Some people seemed to be deep in thought, while others seemed to understand but not quite!

But most of them had a blank, bewildered expression.

what is this?

What am I doing?

What are you all doing gathered here?!

Yang Jianguo continued drawing until he finished the crucial final stroke and then put the pencil aside.

Only then did someone notice Director Yang standing on tiptoe, craning his neck to peer inside.

"Hey, factory manager!"

"Jianguo, the factory director is here."

"Hello, director."

"Factory Director..."

"Alright, alright, I just came to check in. Everyone, go about your business."

Yang Jianguo nodded to the factory director and called the foremen to his side: "The old rules still apply, each of you will be responsible for your own part."

"I'll explain the core changes to Master Li in person later. Let's get started."

After assigning the tasks, Yang Jianguo approached the factory manager: "Factory manager, what brings you to the workshop in person?"

"Hey, didn't you say I should spend more time in the workshop?"

Factory Director Yang chuckled and scolded, "What, now that I'm here, you think I'm superfluous?"

Yang Jianguo grinned, took out a cigarette, and said, "How could that be? You should come to inspect more often. Leaders can't be detached from the masses and the grassroots!"

Factory Director Yang felt that there was a hidden meaning in his words.

However, at that moment, my mind was entirely focused on improving the technology, so I didn't think about it much.

After lighting a cigarette, Director Yang asked about the directions for improvement he had previously made.

"The main change is to improve stability; there aren't any major changes in other aspects."

"Whether it will work or not, we'll have to try it to find out."

Yang Jianguo would never make a guarantee about something he wasn't certain about.

Anyone can make grand pronouncements, but in the end, facts have to speak for themselves.

They can't do it well, but they boast about it endlessly.

In the end, all he did was spit out a "Pah!"

It's done, no need to say more.

Everyone would give you a thumbs up and say, "You're really good."

So don't always listen to people who talk big.

Whether a person is reliable or not can be determined by observing their actions!

"I trust you. You wouldn't do something you're not sure about."

After three months, Director Yang had come to understand him better.

Hearing him say that, Yang Jianguo remained silent, smiled, and changed the subject.

After finishing his cigarette, Yang Jianguo said something and went back to work.

The machining of modified parts needs to be explained thoroughly to the technicians.

Or perhaps it's a mistake in a detail.

We've all worked for nothing today, and a lot of materials have been wasted.

Once things get busy, there's no time to spare. By the time the loudspeaker announces the end of the workday, the new boiler in the workshop hasn't even been welded yet.

Factory Director Yang didn't go anywhere that afternoon; he just stayed here.

"Hey young man, could you please go to the kitchen and tell Chef He to stay a little longer and add a couple more dishes for everyone?"

Factory Director Yang was looking for Hua Zi, Li Yaoguo's apprentice.

Nowadays, I've become more like a mouthpiece in the workshop, everyone's apprentice.

However, this is a good thing for him.

Run errands for the masters and be more diligent.

If one person teaches you one skill, that's enough for you to make a living for the rest of your life.

That's how craftsmanship is; sometimes you just can't understand it no matter how you look at it.

It's a stupid and tiring job, and the efficiency is terrible.

It would be helpful to have an experienced master give you some pointers.

It doesn't seem like much at first glance.

If you do it again, it will be completely different.

That seemingly insignificant sentence might be the culmination of two or three decades of work experience.

Why would someone teach you if there's no reason for it?

People often say that sticking to old ways leads to complacency, but true masters always keep some skills to themselves.

But sometimes, looking at the problem from the opposite perspective, as things develop, the apprentices become lazier and their enthusiasm grows.

Having only been in the business for two days, and without even having a solid foundation, he already felt like he could fly.

He spends every day thinking about learning a unique skill so he can find work and work independently.

If you say anything more, they might label you as an old fogey or a feudalist.

They have high aspirations but low abilities; they lack skills but their ambitions are sky-high.

If you were the master, would you be happy with this arrangement?
