Is Azu Here?

Chapter 60 Is Azu Here?

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the crowd.

"What's going on? What's so special about the smelting and casting workshop that everyone's gathered here?"

"Yes, what happened? I'm from the casting workshop, let me take a look!"

"."

""

Several people squeezed in with difficulty, and saw Zhou Hao squatting at the workshop entrance.

In front of him were several boxes, the kind used in the workshop to store parts.

But Zhou Hao's expression was somewhat strange, as if he were possessed, and he was carefully inspecting each part one by one.

Seeing Zhou Hao's appearance, the group couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"I told you, that kid was just doing it on a whim, just trying to fool you. You actually thought he was sincerely apologizing?"

"That's right, he's just a little kid, what does he know? Don't take him too seriously in the future."

"Alright, open the door, everyone stop crowding around!"

""

Just as they were about to move the boxes, Zhou Hao suddenly looked up, his face filled with shock, and exclaimed, "Look at these parts!"

Zhou Hao's sudden action stunned his coworkers and colleagues.

"What could be wrong with this part?"

One of them casually took the part, and with just one glance, he was instantly struck dumb, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Parts that are usually cast will have many defects on their surface, such as burrs and pits, and must be manually processed before they can be put into use.

However, the part in his hand at this moment had a smooth surface without any burrs or pits, as if it had been waxed and was shining brightly.

The people in the several casting workshops were stunned.

"My God, how did they do that?"

It should be noted that with their current level of technology, they simply cannot polish the surface of the parts to such a smooth finish.

But the surfaces of the parts in front of me are like mirrors, and they can even clearly reflect their appearance.

"Oh my god! Could all these boxes be like this?"

Everyone snapped out of their daze and hurriedly opened the other boxes to check.

It turned out that each box was filled with parts, and each one was just as perfect as the one in his hand.

For a moment, everyone present was frozen in place, too shocked to speak.

"Where did this come from?"

Zhou Hao looked towards the dormitory building in the distance.

"These are the parts I gave to Wu Zu yesterday."

"Huh? Could it really be him?"

"How is that possible! We're the only skilled technicians in the entire research institute. Where is he going to find anyone to help him?"

"Yeah, that doesn't make any sense!"

Zhou Hao suddenly realized a crucial issue, hurriedly took out his keys from his pocket, opened the door, and rushed inside in a panic.

He then took out his vernier calipers and began measuring the parts.

Soon, the measurement results came out, and Zhou Hao stared blankly at everyone.

"Accuracy less than 0.1 millimeters!"

"Hiss!" Everyone present couldn't help but gasp, hardly believing what they were seeing.

Next, they moved all the parts over and tested them one by one.

After inspection, all parts were found to have a precision of less than 0.1 millimeters, fully meeting the standards.

"Let's go find Wu Zu and find out what really happened!"

Without saying a word, the group of people ran towards the dormitory building.

This scene greatly surprised everyone else in the research institute.

"What's going on? Did that mischievous Wu Zu really solve a big problem for them?"

"I'm also wondering how he did it. It would take the entire workshop at least a week to work on just a few boxes of parts."

So, everyone followed along towards the dormitory building, eager to see what would happen.

Inside the dormitory building, Wu Zu was still fast asleep in bed.

In May, the weather in Northwest China is dry and pleasant; you even need a blanket to sleep at night—it's incredibly comfortable.

Last night, he worked until 3 a.m. to finish processing those parts before returning to his dormitory.

Especially when delivering those boxes of parts to the entrance of the casting workshop, he could only push them over one by one in a small cart. After all, with his small frame as a nine-year-old child, that was all he could do.

Just as he was drifting off to sleep, he suddenly felt a pair of cool hands touch his face.

Wu Zu suddenly pulled his head back and burrowed under the covers.

"Who is it? So rude!"

Liu Xuelan couldn't help but laugh when she saw Wu Zu's appearance.

"Hey kid, I made you some porridge and bought you some fried dough sticks from the cafeteria. Get up and eat them while they're hot."

"No, I want to sleep."

"You little rascal, you're here to do research, not to sleep in. Get up now."

Liu Xuelan patiently coaxed Wu Zu, "Good son, get up quickly. Mom will make you braised prawns for lunch, okay?"

Wu Zu reluctantly lifted the blanket, but his eyes remained closed.

"Just 10 more minutes of sleep, please, please~"

"Ugh, I can't do anything with you. Ten minutes it is then!"

As she spoke, Liu Xuelan tucked Wu Zu in and was about to get up when she heard a series of hurried and chaotic footsteps coming from the hallway.

She pushed open the door and looked outside, then froze in shock.

Zhou Hao and the workers from the casting workshop were rushing towards them, followed by a large group of people from other departments.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xuelan's heart skipped a beat, and she thought: Could it be that Wu Zu's behavior yesterday angered them?

So she quickly closed the door and hurriedly asked, "Um—is there something you need?"

Zhou Hao, panting heavily, asked, "Is Azu here?"

Everyone else looked anxious, but because they were out of breath from running, it was difficult to discern their expressions at first glance.

Liu Xuelan was a little worried and asked again, "Um—what do you need to see Azu about?"

"Oh, it's about those parts. We want to ask him about it!"

Hearing Zhou Hao mention parts, Liu Xuelan became even more nervous.

So that's exactly what they came for.

But since things have come to this, he has to bear the main responsibility for not taking good care of his son.

"If you have any problems, come at me! Ah-Zu is young and doesn't know any better. It's my fault as his mother for not watching him properly!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, everyone present was stunned, and then burst into laughter.

Seeing everyone laughing, Liu Xuelan looked bewildered.

"Uh... what happened?"

Zhou Hao quickly explained, "Professor Liu, you've misunderstood. We're not here to see him because of what happened yesterday when Azu pushed the parts into the melting furnace; it's about something else entirely."

"Huh? What trouble has he gotten into this time?"

"No, no, no, Ah Zu didn't cause any trouble. He actually helped us a lot this time!"

Zhou Hao took out a part and handed it over: "Look!"

Liu Xuelan took the parts and examined them.

"Isn't this a component from a missile seeker? Is there a problem?"

"No problem. The key is that yesterday I gave Ah Zu five whole boxes of unfinished semi-finished products, and this morning when we went to the workshop, we saw five boxes of finished parts at the door. They were all exactly the same as these, and the precision was even higher than what we made!"
