Siheyuan: I live next door to Xu Damao, my last name is Cao

Chapter 293 Being underestimated, competition

Off the field, in a corner of the workshop, several technicians from the machinery factory gathered together furtively. They whispered to each other in very low voices for fear of being heard by others.

"Hey, do you think this guy the factory manager hired is any good? He's been trying so hard for so long, but the machine still hasn't been fixed?"

A younger technician, Xiao Zhang, frowned and spoke softly with a look of suspicion on his face, with a hint of disdain and anxiety in his tone, and from time to time his eyes glanced at Cao Wei who was repairing the machine.

Old Li next to him curled his lips, showing a hint of sarcasm on his face, and continued, "Who knows? I think he might just be a name with nothing. It's no different from our previous inspection. It was all thunder and thunder but little rain, and we didn't find the key to the problem at all. We have so many people, all experienced technicians, and we can't solve such a difficult problem. How can he, an outsider, solve it easily? I think it's very risky."

As Old Li spoke, he shook his head, as if he had already made a conclusion about Cao Wei's ability.

"That's it."

Technician Xiao Wang also echoed this, his eyes revealing worry and helplessness.

"The malfunction of this machine is so complicated, I don't think he has any special solution. Maybe he is just going through the motions. If it can't be fixed, we will have to find another solution. This production task can't be delayed any longer. If it goes on like this, we don't know when it will be delayed. We have to rely on ourselves and can't put all our hopes on this outsider."

"But the factory director seems to have great confidence in him." Xiao Zhang added, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"Hmph, I think the factory director is desperate and is trying every possible means." Old Li snorted. Although his voice was not loud, it was full of dissatisfaction.

Although they tried their best to suppress their voices, they were still faintly heard in the extremely quiet workshop and attracted the attention of some people around them.

Everyone's eyes revealed varying degrees of worry and suspicion, and they were whispering to each other. The atmosphere in the entire workshop became somewhat depressing and uneasy.

Director Qin had sharp hearing, so he naturally heard the discussions. His face darkened slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his originally kind face.

He turned around and glanced sharply at the technicians who were whispering to each other. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts and make people shudder.

Director Qin said in a low but dignified voice: "Shut up! You don't have the ability to solve the problem, and you still have the nerve to question others? Director Cao is already very respectful to come to help us. If you were capable, you would have fixed the machine long ago. Why would you wait until now?"

Although Director Qin's voice was not loud, it was particularly intimidating in this quiet workshop. After hearing it, the technicians lowered their heads and dared not say anything.

Director Qin turned around, his face immediately filled with apology. He quickly walked up to Cao Wei and said sincerely, "Director Cao, I'm so sorry to have embarrassed you. These people are ignorant. You are a magnanimous person. Please don't take these words to heart."

Cao Wei waved his hand nonchalantly, with a gentle smile on his face, a smile that was as warm as the spring sun.

He smiled and said, "Director Qin, I don't care what you said. In the technical field, it is normal to encounter problems that cannot be solved. It is normal for everyone to have doubts. I understand. And this also shows that the problem with this machine is indeed difficult. We have to investigate it more carefully."

Cao Wei took a deep breath, letting the fresh air flow slowly into his lungs through his nasal cavity, and then exhaled slowly.

He gently closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing rhythm, then suddenly opened his eyes and focused his gaze on the machine in front of him again.

At this moment, he seemed to be in a space isolated from the world, and everything around him seemed to have become blurred.

The noisy voices, chaotic footsteps and other disturbing sounds were all blocked by an invisible barrier and could not affect him at all.

In his eyes, the only real thing was the machine in front of him that he was waiting to solve.

Cao Wei's eyes became more and more focused, looking straight at the machine, as if he wanted to see through its appearance to its complex internal structure and potential problems.

His brows were slightly furrowed, his lips were tightly pursed, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and his whole body exuded an unwavering determination and concentration.

Then, Cao Wei skillfully stretched out his right hand and gently pressed the button on the machine casing. With a light "click" sound, the casing slowly opened.

Cautiously, he bent over the machine and slowly put his head inside, like an experienced explorer searching for treasure in an unknown cave.

After entering the machine, Cao Wei's eyes began to scan every corner inch by inch.

Be it the intricate circuits, the densely packed parts or those tiny gaps that are easily overlooked, nothing can escape his eagle-like eyes.

His eyes are like the most advanced precision detectors, able to keenly capture even the slightest abnormal signals or suspicious signs.

At the same time, Cao Wei's brain was also working rapidly. Every step he had gone through during the previous inspection, every detail he had discovered, flashed through his mind frame by frame like a movie.

Every picture is so clear and distinct, as if it just happened right before your eyes.

He concentrated on recalling and thinking, trying to find the key clue that he might have missed from these fragments of memory.

As time passed, Cao Wei remained motionless in his original posture.

He was completely immersed in his study of the machine and forgot the changes in the surrounding environment.

At this moment, for him, the whole world really only consists of him and this machine.

As the inspection progressed, Cao Wei's eyes became sharper and more focused, as if he could penetrate the layers of mechanical structures and get to the core of the problem.

Finally, after a painstaking exploration, he gradually uncovered the mystery hidden in it.

It turned out that a vital component had been seriously worn out due to long-term high-intensity operation.

It was its damage that caused the entire machine's operating condition to take a sharp turn for the worse, and it fell into the quagmire of failure and could not extricate itself.

What's more troublesome is that the model of this component is extremely special and rare, and it is impossible for ordinary machinery factories to stock the corresponding spare parts for replacement.

Faced with such a dilemma, Cao Wei could not help but frown tightly, secretly thinking about how to deal with it in his heart.

After a brief silence, an idea suddenly occurred to his mind, like a flash of lightning in the darkness across the sky, instantly illuminating the road ahead.

He straightened up a little, raised his head, and said to Director Qin in a firm and steady tone: "Director Qin, although there is no spare part available for this component at the moment, please rest assured that I have a way to solve this problem! I can use my years of experience and technology to hand-make a new part on the spot to replace the damaged one. But..."

At this point, Cao Wei paused for a moment, then added: "This task is not easy. It not only requires a certain amount of time and highly sophisticated operating skills, but the whole process will also be quite complicated and tedious."

After hearing this, Director Qin's originally solemn and anxious expression suddenly relaxed a lot. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Master Cao Wei, as long as our machine can be restored to normal operation, I will leave it to you no matter what! Just go ahead and do it. Our factory will definitely go all out to cooperate with you to complete this task. Whether it is the deployment of manpower, the supply of materials, or the required time arrangement, etc., we will unconditionally give the greatest support!"

Cao Wei looked around, with a sincere smile on his face, at the technicians in the machinery factory.

His eyes slowly swept over every technician in the machinery factory, and finally stopped at a certain place.

Thinking of those people who had just been talking about him secretly, the corners of Cao Wei's mouth slightly raised, revealing an extremely subtle arc, and that arc contained a subtle deep meaning that was not easily noticed by others.

Cao Wei has always been known for his calmness and restraint, and rarely loses his temper. But this does not mean that he is a weak character who can be manipulated and manipulated by others at will.

On the contrary, Cao Wei would never show mercy to those who dared to despise him or challenge his bottom line.

Facing this group of guys who were obviously shallow in knowledge, he had already secretly made up his mind: he must teach them a lesson, and at the same time take this opportunity to show everyone his true strength and means.

Cao Wei took a step forward and said in a sincere and enthusiastic tone: "Masters, this part is quite special. We have strength in numbers. Why don't we all help each other? Maybe we can speed up the process of solving the problem and see if everyone can come up with a better solution."

His words sounded sincere, as if he had proposed this purely for the purpose of gathering wisdom and working together to solve the problem. However, only Cao Wei knew best that under this seemingly frank appearance, he was actually planning a small "revenge action".

However, after he finished speaking, the scene fell into silence. Many technicians looked embarrassed and exchanged helpless glances with each other.

An experienced technician smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Director Cao, to be honest, we usually only deal with some routine minor problems of the machine. The processing of special parts like this is really beyond our capabilities. We have never been exposed to such a benchwork processing technology and have no idea where to start. We have to find a professional benchwork master."

Several young technicians nearby also nodded in agreement, with a hint of helplessness and confusion in their eyes.

At this time, several small voices seemed to come out from the corner: "We...we have learned some locksmith skills, how about giving it a try?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a few technicians who looked a little older standing out.

There was hesitation and nervousness on their faces, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and their hands were unconsciously rubbing the corners of their clothes, but their eyes revealed a hint of unwillingness to be outdone.

The leading technician, Xiao Zhang, scratched his head and said unconfidently, "Director Cao, although we have never processed such a complicated part, we want to give it a try. Maybe it will work. We don't want to just stand there and watch without being able to do anything."

Another technician, Lao Li, also agreed: "That's right, we can't just do nothing. We also want to contribute to solving the machine failure and prove that we are not just here to eat for free."

In fact, they were also unwilling to accept it in their hearts. They were unwilling to accept that such a young person from Cao Wei had taken the dominant position and suppressed them.

They also wanted to perform well in front of the factory manager to prove that they were not useless and let the factory manager know that they were capable.

Cao Wei looked at them with a barely perceptible smile on his face, because he recognized that among these people was the one who had just talked behind his back.

He smiled and said gently, "Then please ask Director Qin to prepare some steel that is consistent with the machine material. We will make it on the spot. It can be regarded as a small competition."

Director Qin immediately arranged for people to prepare the steel, and soon the materials were delivered to everyone.

The atmosphere in the workshop became a little solemn. Everyone gathered around, their eyes focused on the technicians who were about to compete.

Everyone held their breath, wanting to see how this special contest would develop.

Cao Wei calmly stretched out his right hand and gently picked up the file on the workbench.

The moment he gripped the file, a sharp light suddenly flashed in his originally calm eyes, as if his passion was instantly ignited, and he was completely immersed in the work in front of him.

His strong and powerful hands held the handle of the file tightly like a pair of pliers, as steady and unshakable as a mountain.

As he swung his arm, the file began to move on the hard steel.

At this moment, the file in his hand is like an extremely agile paintbrush. Every time it touches the steel, it will splash out tiny metal sparks.

Accompanied by bursts of crisp "rustling" sounds, the metal fragments fell like snowflakes.

Under Cao Wei's superb carving skills, the object, which was originally just a piece of ordinary steel, gradually revealed its original shape.

Every line and every arc is so precise and accurate, as if they were carved out after careful calculation.

His movements were smooth and seamless, without any delay or hesitation, which made people unable to help but cheer and praise him.
