Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 196 Repairing the Lathe

Afternoon, Workshop 2

Director Zhao saw He Lai and his group appear in the workshop.

"Oh, it's you who's here to fix it. You're quite good at it, despite your young age."

Director Zhao smiled when he saw that it was He Lai. After all, He Lai had come down here before and he knew what the problem was with the machine tool after a casual observation.

"Director Zhao, you're too kind. I've brought people here. Can you take us to see which machine tool needs overhaul?"

He Lai didn't waste any time and said it directly.

"Okay, I'll take you there. It's an old Soviet machine. It's always been in good working order."

Director Zhao talked as he walked and took He Lai into the innermost part of the workshop.

Got to the place quickly.

"Xiao Cao, stop wasting time. Who are you pretending to be for?"

Director Zhao called out to the young man next to the machine tool.

The young man turned around and saw that it was his director, and immediately greeted him with a smile.

"My dear Director, you are wronging me. You know this machine well. Whether it is good or bad, I can't do anything about it."

"Alright, alright, stay aside, I'll ask the technical department to come and fix it."

Director Zhao waved his hand to let him leave and said to He.

"You fix this one first."

"Okay, let's take a look first. Director Zhao, you go ahead and do your work. We'll call you if there's anything else."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Director Zhao didn't hesitate and left directly.

He Lai turned his head and looked at the machine. It was a Soviet IA62 lathe, which was mainly used for processing threads, turning cylindrical stepped shafts, boring holes, grooving, and end face turning.

He Lai stepped forward and prepared to operate it, first trying out the performance and also just touching and observing it.

Soon, He Lai discovered many problems, such as the tool holder was severely worn, the exchange gear accuracy was deviated, the lead screw was unstable, many lines had poor contact, and so on.

He Lai knew that this was the result of the operator's casual manipulation.

"Brother Liu, are there any more parts for this machine in the warehouse?" He Lai asked.

"Most of them are available. It depends on which ones you need. They are all in this notebook." Shen Dandan interrupted.

"Then I'll see how much I need to change."

He Lai took out a pen and paper and began to write down what needed to be replaced.

……

After a while, Shen Dandan took people to get the accessories with the paper written by He Lai.

He Lai disconnected the power supply and began to arrange tasks, carry out maintenance and replace parts.

"Okay, everyone, follow me and start dismantling. Pay attention and let's try to put everything back in place."

"What! Technician He, are you sure you want to dismantle it directly?" a maintenance worker asked a little worriedly.

"Well, I'll be responsible for the dismantling." He Zi replied confidently.

"Wouldn't it be a bad idea to just dismantle it like this? What if we can't reinstall it later?"

The maintenance worker was a little worried and asked immediately. After all, the most taboo thing when doing maintenance is to dismantle things at will. How could he know that He Lai was a man with cheats!

"It's okay. I've disassembled this machine before at school. I have everything in my head. Just help me put it in order and make sure it's not messed up. I'll do the disassembly work myself."

He Lai replied.

"Then I'll listen to you." The maintenance worker stopped talking when he heard He Lai say that.

Soon, He Lai removed most of the accessories, and Shen Dandan also came over with new accessories.

"Okay, everyone, start cleaning. Clean the lathe carefully, and don't leave any oil, dirt, debris, etc."

After He finished speaking, everyone started working in an orderly manner.

Soon the machine tool was completely renovated and He Lai began his assembly journey.

Everyone was watching He Lai busy at the machine, and from time to time they handed him what he wanted, secretly sighing that he was really a monster.

Being able to assemble so many parts one by one and determine which parts need to be replaced, is this really something a human can do?

After a while, Director Zhao came over and was also stunned when he saw the brand new machine.

"He Lai, is this the original machine?"

"Yes, Director Zhao, how is it? I just debugged it. Do you want someone to try it out?"

He Lai smiled.

"Okay, then Xiao Cao..." Director Zhao immediately wanted to ask Xiao Cao to come over.

"Director Zhao, please call a veteran over." He Lai stopped Director Zhao from calling the young man.

Director Zhao glanced at He Lai and understood what He Lai meant.

"Okay, I'll go get someone."

After Director Zhao finished speaking, he called a veteran worker over.

"This is Master Lu, a level 6 fitter in our workshop. Is everything ok?"

"That's definitely no problem, please, Master Lu." He Lai made way.

"Lao Lu, just process an M4 metric thread."

"it is good."

Master Lu got the hang of it quickly and it was done in a short while.

"Test it and see if it passes." Director Zhao ordered anxiously.

Master Lu didn't waste any time and took out the thread micrometer to start measuring.

"Director, look, it's completely qualified, just 0.002mm short." Master Lu showed the micrometer to Director Zhao.

Director Zhao took the ruler and looked at it, gradually smiling.

"Okay, okay, He Lai, you are really good at this. I have a few lathes in my workshop, so you can help me with that."

"Director Zhao, shall we go outside and talk? Don't let anyone use this machine yet."

He Lai didn't want to talk about this in the workshop, so he suggested directly.

"Okay, okay, let's talk in my office. Old Lu, don't let anyone touch this machine." Director Zhao said happily.

"Brother Liu, take some people to clean up. I'm leaving with Director Zhao first."

He Lai greeted Yanagi.

"Okay, go ahead and we'll clean up." Liu Mu replied.

Workshop Office

"What's wrong? Is there anything?" Director Zhao asked as he sat down and took a sip of tea.

"Director Zhao, this lathe is fine now, but I tell you, if you continue to let the original person use it, I'm sure it will be out of service within a month."

He Lai was also sitting on a chair nearby and said directly.

"Oh? Is this guy so unreliable?" Director Zhao felt a little guilty when he spoke. Yes, Xiao Cao was a bit lazy.

"It's unreliable. To say that he maliciously damaged the machine tool is an understatement. Is the original wear and tear something a normal worker could have produced?

So, some people should be dealt with if they need to be dealt with, and those who are slacking off should be assigned to other positions.”

He Lai also directly stated the reason.

When Director Zhao heard this, he was silent for a moment because it was so serious. This was a big deal. After all, there were many people like this in the workshop.

"I need to think about this carefully and discuss it with Director Yang before making a decision."

Director Zhao thought for a while and said, after all, job transfer is not something that can be accomplished just by saying a word.

"I will repair the lathe next. After it is repaired, you have to find someone who is serious about the work to take over the lathe. If I find that the damage to the lathe is caused by human factors, I will report it truthfully."

"Okay, I will definitely find some reliable people, and you guys will supervise them. He Lai, you have to check all the machines in my workshop."

Director Zhao now believes that He Lai has this ability.

"Director Zhao, I actually want you to understand that a machine cannot be maintained by a technical department or a maintenance department alone. It requires everyone to get involved and work together.

When I arrived at your workshop, I noticed that some of your workbenches were too messy and arranged in a disorderly manner. I think these will affect work efficiency. "

He Lai persuaded.

"Hey, I understand what you said. There is no good way! There are many masters, and it is difficult for me to control them."

Director Zhao sighed.

"So Director Zhao must not have read the maintenance plan carefully. There is a three-point system in it for assigning personnel, equipment, and job responsibilities, which can restrain them well."

He Lai said with a smile.

"Oh, so you're waiting for me here. As for me, as long as it doesn't affect production, anything is fine!"

"Then let's give it a try. Don't you have two lathes that are not working properly? I'll fix them. Your people will follow our instructions. We'll see how the production efficiency compares with your other lathes."

He Lai put forward his proposal.

"Okay, if it really doesn't affect production, I will definitely agree to that maintenance plan."

Director Zhao agreed immediately.

"Then we'll see."

"Row!"
