Chapter 10 Restoring Factory Settings

The worker was about to start working with the steel pipe.

"Wait a minute, I'll check it again." Liu Tao stopped him.

"Comrade Liu Tao, isn't this boring machine repaired? Is there any problem?" Lin Shengli was puzzled.

The boring machine had obviously been fixed and could work now.

"Minister Lin, I'll check it again to see if there is any problem." Liu Tao said.

"Okay, everyone is not busy anyway." Lin Shengli nodded.

Liu Tao stroked the boring machine with his hand, and the virtual panel showed: [Upgrade Points: 2]

He just repaired the boring machine and got 2 upgrade points.

"Analysis, old." Liu Tao muttered in his heart.

Suddenly, a brand new three-dimensional picture appeared on the virtual panel. The three-dimensional picture of the boring machine was full of red dots and red circles.

Liu Tao took a breath.

So many places are old?

If it were placed abroad, it would probably have been eliminated long ago, thrown into the garbage dump or sold as scrap metal.

It's just that China is too poor, and they are used to being poor. They sew and mend for three years, and sew and mend for another three years.

Too many parts, too many parts, aging!

How can the barrels processed by such old machine tools meet the design requirements!

"Analysis, complete design drawing!" Liu Tao muttered.

"Host, to analyze the complete design drawing, 20 upgrade points are required." The metallic voice of the system sounded.

Liu Tao frowned slightly. He didn't expect that 1 upgrade point would not work, but 20 upgrade points were required.

It seems that different items require different upgrade points.

Even if the same item is in different states, the upgrade points required are also different.

"How is it, Comrade Liu Tao, have you found other problems?" Lin Shengli was a little nervous.

It was really that Liu Tao frowned so hard that he felt uneasy.

Now Lin Shengli dare not underestimate Liu Tao.

Liu Tao improved the Type 54 pistol and is already a technical expert in the factory.

"It's not optimistic. This boring machine can't work today." Liu Tao said in a deep voice: "If it keeps working like this, this boring machine will probably be scrapped in a short time."

"Is it so serious?" Lin Shengli was shocked.

There are only five boring machines in Panshan Machinery Factory.

The loss of a boring machine means that the processing of gun barrels will be greatly affected.

Each machine tool is very important to Panshan Machinery Factory. If one is broken, you may never find another one to replace it.

"Well, it's very serious." Liu Tao nodded: "Next, I will disassemble many parts of this boring machine and use one or two days to repair it."

"Okay, I will communicate with Director Tang Ming here." Lin Shengli nodded.

Tang Ming, the director of this production workshop, manages the production workers in this workshop.

The new pistols are also produced in this workshop.

Of the ten pistols originally produced, Wang Tiezhu kept one, and the other nine were taken away by Wang Baoguo.

Now that this boring machine needs to be overhauled, it is natural to let Tang Ming, the workshop director, know.

Liu Tao then began to knock here and there.

Many people were confused when they saw Liu Tao doing this. Could it be fixed like this?

Late at night, Liu Tao was so tired that he had no strength left.

"Repair!" Liu Tao tried to raise his spirits and stroked a steel plate.

Swish!

A faint light flickered.

The steel plate was repaired. Although it still looked the same, it was the same as when it was first produced.

"Repair!" Liu Tao stroked the gear.

Although, because he was not the manufacturer, he could not upgrade the boring machine.

But he could repair each component through the upgrade point.

Let these old and severely worn components return to factory status.

After doing this, Liu Tao looked at the 3D image of the virtual panel again. All the red components were back to normal.

The virtual panel shows:

[Item: Single-axis barrel boring machine]

[Manufacturer: James]

[Item level: LV1 (0/10) (non-upgradeable)]

[Upgrade points: 1]

[Item status: intact, analyzable]

Liu Tao showed a satisfied smile. It was worth his hard work for a whole day. He finally repaired the boring machine.

"System, analysis, complete design drawing." Liu Tao muttered in his heart.

"Host, complete design drawing, upgrade point 15, the current upgrade points are not satisfied." The system reminded.

Liu Tao shook his head secretly. It seems that he needs to find time to accumulate upgrade points for this boring machine next, otherwise he will not be able to obtain the complete design drawing.

Only by obtaining the complete design drawing can he produce parts and assemble this boring machine by himself, and then he can continue to upgrade.

To be honest, Liu Tao is very dissatisfied with this boring machine, because it is already a machine tool that has been eliminated by the times.

The production efficiency is not high, and the precision is not easy to control.

You should know that machine tools entered the automation period in 1950, that is, CNC machine tools. CNC machine tools use digital control principles to store processing procedures, requirements and tool replacement operation codes and text codes as information, and control machine tools according to the instructions issued, and perform processing according to the required requirements.

As early as 10 years ago, in 1968, the world's first CNC production line was born.

And just a few years ago, from 1970 to 1974, due to the widespread use of small computers in machine tool control, three technological breakthroughs occurred.

Now, Panshan Machinery Factory is still using old machine tools from decades ago.

Liu Tao is eager to develop these machine tools into CNC machine tools.

"And it's not just this boring machine, there's also the stamping machine, which probably has a big problem." Liu Tao thought to himself.

Liu Tao felt it necessary to carefully check all the machine tools in this production workshop one by one.

You know, machine tools are the 'working mother machine' in the field of machinery. The quality of machine tools can greatly improve work efficiency and production quality.

In addition to machine tools, tools such as calipers must also be improved.

"But no matter how good the machine tool is, it is operated by people. The human factor is more important." When Liu Tao thought of this, he felt it necessary to reach a consensus with others.

In the entire production workshop, raw materials, finished products, and scraps were piled up randomly on the workbench in the middle.

Calipers, rulers, etc. were either rusty or missing corners. Obviously, workers would not use them in the normal production process, and technicians in the production workshop would not emphasize it.

You know, for military products, any process has three procedures, namely the first inspection, process inspection, and final inspection.

Even the process inspection is in name only, not to mention other things.

In short, the quality system is not sound, or simply - there is no!

Liu Tao couldn't imagine how low the qualified rate of guns and ammunition would be in such production.

And delivering unqualified guns and ammunition to the troops would be murdering the lives of soldiers.

This kind of thing is unacceptable to Liu Tao.

The war is not far away, and Liu Tao doesn't want soldiers to use unqualified guns and pills produced by his factory, and end up killing the enemy instead of himself.

In that case, Liu Tao will never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

It was already late when he returned to the dormitory, but Liu Tao took a notebook and wrote on it, which was about the quality system.
