Feeling helpless, Zhang Yi could only follow her out. The two quickly arrived in front of the machine tool. However, when they got there, Xiao Hua was dumbfounded. The machine tool in front of her was a bit too tall for her. With her height, she couldn't operate it properly at all.
But this didn't stump her. After a moment of愣, she looked around and found a stool nearby. So she immediately moved an iron stool over from the side.
Heaven knows how her small arms managed to lift this iron stool weighing fifty to sixty jin. One must know that these stools were welded from angle steel, and even Zhang Yi himself found them heavy. Yet, Xiao Hua easily lifted it with one hand and moved it in front of the machine tool. This left Zhang Yi a bit speechless.
"Although the machine tools of the humans in your world are a bit different from those of our Dwarves, the basic operations are similar. I just don't understand why you build your machine tools so high. Tell me! What do you want to process?" After looking at the machine tool, as a mechanical engineering scholar, Xiao Hua immediately understood how to operate the machine tool in front of her and then said.
Zhang Yi rolled his eyes. What was all this? One must know that while this height might be a bit high for Xiao Hua, it wasn't high for humans.
Before Zhang Yi could reply, Xiao Hua noticed the several spindles that Zhang Yi had damaged with the lathe, as well as the scrapped spindle that had broken into two pieces.
"It's this spindle, right? Those few should be your masterpieces, right? You're really useless, you can damage so many simple things with a lathe. If I were the boss, I would have kicked you out long ago," Xiao Hua said.
Before Zhang Yi could reply, she skillfully picked up a piece of raw material, placed it on the machine tool, turned on the machine tool, and started processing it.
It was only at this moment that Zhang Yi realized that what Xiao Hua was speaking was Hua language, and it seemed she also recognized the text on the machine tool. Although he was curious, he didn't say it immediately because Xiao Hua was currently concentrating on processing the spindle. So Zhang Yi didn't disturb her, as he knew that being distracted while operating a machine tool was very dangerous, after all, this was a regular machine tool, not a CNC machine tool.
"Boss Zhang! Is Boss Zhang in? I have a batch of things I need your help with." Just as Zhang Yi was watching Xiao Hua skillfully process the spindle, a voice came from outside. It was obvious that another customer had arrived.
"Boss! You don't need to mind me, go busy yourself!" At this moment, Xiao Hua, who was operating the machine tool with her head down, said without even lifting her head.
"Oh, it's Boss Zhu!" When Zhang Yi came outside, he saw a person pacing back and forth outside, and he knew this person. This Boss Zhu's name was Zhu Gang, and he was the boss of a car parts factory not far from Zhang Yi's family workshop. However, unlike Zhang Yi's small workshop, Zhu Gang's factory was much more impressive. The factory building area was nearly ten thousand square meters, and the number of workers was also several hundred.
"Oh, it's Young Boss Zhang! Is your dad in? I have a batch of parts that I'm too busy to handle and need your dad's help with processing." Saying this, he handed over a part he was holding.
At this time, Zhu Gang still didn't know about Zhang Yi's father's situation, otherwise, he wouldn't have come looking for his dad.
Zhang Yi took the part from Zhu Gang's hand, looked at it, and didn't speak. Instead, he carefully examined the part, while also thinking in his mind whether he had the ability to process such a part. One must know that this part in his hand was much more difficult than the agricultural machinery spindle he had processed before, and it also had certain requirements for precision.
The depressed Zhang Yi found that with his ability, he couldn't process such a spindle at all. Even his former self couldn't process parts with such precision requirements.
At the same time, he didn't think Xiao Hua had such ability, because generally, for parts with such precision requirements, CNC machine tools were used. If one insisted on using a regular machine tool, then the skill requirements for the machine tool operator were very high, at least reaching the level of a 4-5 level lathe worker.
Just as Zhang Yi was about to refuse, the part in his hand was snatched away by a pair of fair, small hands. Zhang Yi looked up and saw that the one who snatched the part was Xiao Hua, who had been operating the machine tool earlier. After taking the part, she casually looked at it and then said casually, "This part is not difficult, I can process it."
After saying this, without waiting for Zhang Yi to speak, she handed over the spindle in her other hand and said to Zhang Yi, "Here! How about it! You don't doubt it now, do you!"
"Good craftsmanship! This spindle is for agricultural machinery, right? It's processed beautifully." Before Zhang Yi could take the spindle, Zhu Gang, who was standing on the side, saw the spindle and couldn't help but say. Then, before Zhang Yi could speak, he spoke again, "This spindle should have been processed by your dad, right? Master Zhang's craftsmanship is really good!"
"Boss Zhu, you've misunderstood. This spindle wasn't processed by my dad. My dad had something happen recently, so he can't work for the time being. But Boss Zhu, don't worry, this part of yours isn't difficult, it just has some precision requirements. I can take this order," Zhang Yi explained.
"Okay! Since this spindle was processed by you, I guess processing my part won't be a problem either. There are a total of over 1000 of these parts, but the previous customer is urging for this batch of parts very urgently, so it must be completed within a week.
I wonder if you can complete it within a week. If you can, then I will immediately have the factory bring the blanks over, and I will give you 30 yuan per piece. If your quality meets the requirements, our factory will have larger orders in the future." After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Zhu Gang thought for a moment and then said.
Actually, Zhu Gang had no other choice. His factory was already very busy and had no time or machines to process this batch of parts, so he thought of outsourcing the processing. However, in the entire Xian County, there were only a few people capable of processing such parts, and Zhang Yi's father was one of them.
Subsequently, Zhang Yi and Zhu Gang went to Zhang Yi's office to sign the contract, and then Zhu Gang left in a hurry.
"Now you have nothing to say, right!" Seeing Zhu Gang leave, Xiao Hua immediately said proudly.
"Yes! The craftsmanship of your Dwarves is truly amazing," Zhang Yi said sincerely.
Even if Zhang Yi's father, Zhang Ming, were to process the spindle just now, he might not be able to do it as well as Xiao Hua, processing it in such a short time.
Moreover, this spindle looked very beautiful, and it could be confirmed that the precision was also not low. One must know that although spindle processing is the simplest in mechanical processing, it is also the most capable of reflecting skill. The skill Xiao Hua displayed in processing it is something that even a level six technician might not be able to achieve. The name "mechanical processing scholar" is truly not for show.
"By the way! How do you know our Hua Clan language?" Actually, Zhang Yi had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but because Zhu Gang was there just now, he hadn't asked.
"There's nothing to be curious about. This is originally the standard common language of the Multiverse Scholar Hiring System. If you want to be hired by the employers of the Multiverse Scholar Hiring System, then you must learn the common language, otherwise, you won't be able to communicate. I'm also curious why your civilization speaks the common language!" Xiao Hua said with a matter-of-fact expression, and also asked in return.
Not long after Zhu Gang left, a small truck drove up to the entrance of Zhang Yi's factory. The truck was carrying the blanks that Zhu Gang had mentioned earlier. However, this time Zhu Gang didn't come in person, but rather their factory's driver came. After all, the distance was so close, and they were all acquaintances, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
