Modifying Old Equipment

Chapter 61 Modifying Old Equipment

"What?!"

Liu Xuelan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Good heavens, five whole boxes, all processed like this! That's unbelievable!

She even had some doubts: "Are you sure it was Ah Zu who did it?"

Just then, the door behind him opened, and Wu Zu, wearing slippers, rubbing his eyes and yawning, came out.

"Can't you guys let people get some sleep? Why is it so hard to sleep in!"

Upon seeing the person in question appear, Liu Xuelan quickly went over and placed the parts in front of Wu Zu.

"Son, tell Mom the truth, did you do this?"

Wu Zu squinted at it, glanced at it, and nodded.

"Hmm, it seems they received it, that's good."

Upon hearing Wu Zu's admission, everyone present couldn't help but gasp in shock. It really was him!

Everyone stared intently at Wu Zu, hardly believing that a child could do such a thing.

Even Liu Xuelan didn't believe that Wu Zu could process so many parts overnight.

"Grandma, you can't lie!"

Wu Zu yawned widely and muttered, "I didn't lie, it's all true."

At this moment, Zhou Hao nervously swallowed and asked cautiously, "Grandpa, can you tell us how you did it?"

Everyone else turned their attention to Wu Zu, eagerly awaiting his answer.

Wu Zu rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked outside, and then pointed towards a workshop in the distance.

"If you want to know the answer, go over there and take a look. I need to go back and catch up on my sleep now, I don't have time to take you there."

After saying that, he looked at Liu Xuelan and said pitifully, "Mom, please let me sleep a little longer."

Liu Xuelan nodded somewhat blankly, then saw Wu Zu turn around and go back to his room, close the door, and fall into a deep sleep on the bed in the blink of an eye.

The crowd looked at each other, feeling as if Wu Zu had made a fool of them.

"What kind of talk is this? You think you can just dismiss us with that one sentence?"

"How can you act like this, being bossed around by a little kid!"

"I think he's just making things difficult for himself. How could a little kid possibly do that!"

""

However, Zhou Hao didn't care about any of that. He glanced in the direction Wu Zu pointed.

"I'll go take a look!"

Everyone watched Zhou Hao walk in that direction and exchanged glances.

Despite complaining, my feet still involuntarily followed everyone downstairs and headed towards the workshop.

After all, in this day and age, without the internet, and with no production tasks at the moment, this is the only way they can pass the time.

Liu Xuelan hesitated for a moment, glanced at Wu Zu who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and finally followed him.

At this point, she wasn't sure if her son had done it.

If it really is him, how did he manage to do it?

Those were five whole boxes of parts! Even if Zhou Hao and all the workers in the workshop worked together, it might not be enough to finish them in a week, but Wu Zu only took one night.

The group arrived at the entrance of the workshop where various old equipment were stored.

Liu Xuelan subconsciously touched her pocket and realized that the key was missing. She figured Wu Zu must have secretly taken it yesterday.

Fortunately, Zhou Hao also had a key to the workshop. He took out the key and opened the warehouse door.

Suddenly, a cloud of dust rushed towards them, and everyone scrambled to avoid it.

"It would be strange if this workshop could still be used for production!"

"But there really do seem to be footprints on the ground. Could it be that he really did work here yesterday?"

Filled with curiosity, the group entered the workshop. Following the direction of the densest footprints, they discovered a piece of equipment that had been covered up.

"Hey, what's this? It's covered with something."

"Could this be the key?"

"Quickly, lift it up and take a look!"

Urged on by the crowd, Zhou Hao reached out and gently tore off the piece of black canvas.

When the equipment inside was revealed, the scene instantly fell silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at this "peculiar" device.

The nameplate next to the equipment shows that it was originally a small manual lathe that they had discarded.

However, at this moment, this small lathe has been equipped with some "strange" devices.

Everyone walked around the equipment, and they were all amazed.

"This is a modified piece of equipment!"

"Look, there are still cables here. It must have been converted to an electric system."

"I see. Ah Zu is quite capable; he actually managed to convert the old equipment into an electric one."

"Wait a minute, I don't think it's that simple. Look, this little screen seems to be for operation; it has all sorts of buttons on it!"

'

Everyone sat around the equipment for a long time, but they still couldn't figure it out.

After all, this is the most advanced CNC system, and no country has been able to manufacture it before.

At this moment, Liu Xuelan suddenly suggested, "How about we turn on the electricity and see?"

Her words immediately garnered everyone's approval.

So, everyone powered on the device, and then the small screen next to it lit up.

Looking at the various coordinate axes and parameter settings displayed on the small screen, everyone suddenly understood.

"I see, it can be set up in such an advanced way, that's interesting!"

"This is amazing! I've never seen such advanced equipment abroad!"

"What a waste! Using such good stuff to modify this old equipment is such a terrible waste!"

'

'

Zhou Hao and the others were extremely excited when they saw the equipment.

They carefully tried operating the device and found it to be even better than they had imagined.

In particular, the lathe, which was originally rusty, became very flexible after being modified.

Liu Xuelan stared at the equipment, completely bewildered.

When did this brat come up with such an advanced gadget?

I didn't even realize it!

I'll have to ask him about it when I get back.

Just then, someone suddenly made a suggestion.

"How about we try using a spare part?"

But as soon as he spoke, he was met with unanimous opposition from everyone.

"What if such advanced equipment breaks down?"

"Exactly! If we could use this in the future, it would save us a lot of time!"

"Let's wait for Ah-Zu to come and teach us how to use it!"

Seeing that everyone was saying this, Liu Xuelan quickly said, "I'll go wake him up."

But just as she was about to turn around, the workers in the casting workshop quickly stopped her.

"No need, no need. Ah Zu must have been busy for a long time last night. Let him get some rest."

"Yes, yes, he solved such a big problem for us, we really need to thank him!"

"Yes, let's wait until he wakes up before coming. We can afford to wait."

With no other option, everyone could only wait at the workshop entrance.

Wu Zucai finally got enough sleep at 8:30.

Seeing Liu Xuelan busy running around, he couldn't help but ask, "Mom, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Liu Xuelan placed the reheated porridge and fried dough sticks in front of him.

"The equipment you set up last night was a huge help. Everyone's waiting for you to teach them how to use it. Hurry up and finish eating so you can go and give them some pointers!"

'

Wu Zu was taken aback. "Huh? I was planning to sell that piece of equipment."
