Scholars in the courtyard

Outside the third workshop, Shazhu met Jia Dongxu who was coming.

"Brother Dongxu, how did you do in the exam?"

Silly Zhu inquired about the matter. Although he had sister Xiao Qin in his heart, he looked down on the useless Jia Dongxu.

If it weren't for Sister Xiao Qin's maintenance of the family and the help of the first uncle from time to time, Jia Dongxu's ability would have made it difficult for the Jia family.

Seeing that it was Silly Zhu, Jia Dongxu raised his head and forced a smile, then shook his head.

When Shazhu saw it, he felt excited, and sure enough, he failed again.

But there is also a pity on the face.

The two of them came here at this time, probably to see Yang Xiaotao!

With a tacit understanding, the two squeezed through the crowd and came to the front to inquire about the news.

"Failed twice?"

When Jia Dongxu heard this, the sadness on his face immediately disappeared. He looked at Yang Xiaotao at the workstation and gloated.

Silly Zhu hugged his arms and curled his lips, "I'll make you feel bad."

"I don't have the ability. I have to carry the burden. I'll be exhausted."

Silly Zhu said, not paying attention to the sharp eyes of the workers around him, but Jia Dongxu unconsciously distanced himself from Silly Zhu.

At the workstation, Yang Xiaotao finished moving his arms, closed his eyes and rested his mind. After about a minute, he picked up the parts again and started processing.

This time, Yang Xiaotao planned to follow his feelings completely.

No more spending two seconds asking why, remembering why.

If you feel it, take action.

One link after another, no pause, no opportunity, just one go.

This time, the people watching around clearly noticed that the speed was accelerating. Within a minute, Yang Xiaotao picked up the file and started finishing. His hand movements were smooth and his expression was calm and resolute.

If everyone looked closely, they would find that Yang Xiaotao's eyes were wide open, bright and unfocused.

It was as if everything around him was seen but not taken lightly.

But with such an expression, there was nothing wrong at all, and the bolts in his hands were quickly formed.

That state is like the state of selflessness described in martial arts novels, which can be encountered but cannot be sought.

After five minutes, Yang Xiaotao stopped moving.

Putting down the file in his hand, he turned his wrist and made a crisp sound. He looked at the formed bolt and breathed a sigh of relief.

"finished!"

Before anyone could react, he took off the bolt and said to Liu Huaimin and others.

"So fast?"

Xu Yuanshan subconsciously looked at his watch. It only took less than seven minutes from start to finish.

Can it be done at this speed?

Liu Daming recovered from the shock and shouted to Liu Huaimin, "Test!"

With one word, even he could hear the tremor in his voice.

Liu Huaimin nodded, and Guo Liang took the bolt himself and walked to the machine to test it.

Everyone recovered from Yang Xiaotao's completion of the workpiece, and looked at Guo Liang nervously, waiting for the final result.

Yang Xiaotao relaxed his arms. There was another test coming, and he needed to maintain his condition.

However, Liu Daming stood up and walked to his side, picking up the bolt that Yang Xiaotao had given up previously.

After just one glance, my palms trembled a little, and then I held them tightly.

"Da diameter, 15.055. Passed!"

Guo Liang's voice was a little trembling, and the measuring tools in his hands were a little jerky, and he almost couldn't turn them.

"15.055. Just a little, a little!"

"Better than the previous one, awesome, awesome!"

"It's not necessarily powerful. The previous measurement tools couldn't reach it. Maybe, maybe..."

Some people are surprised, some people question it, but they can't go on.

It's only a little short of the standard, which is already far behind them.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned gloomy after being shocked. He continued to stare at the bolt and almost went up to measure it himself. Then he told everyone that the bolt was a failure.

Guo Liang continued the test, and this time he was much calmer.

I am more and more sure of Yang Xiaotao's ability!

"Medium diameter, 14.822."

A number he didn't dare to think of.

A number that no one could react to.

"qualified!"

Guo Liang stood up and shouted loudly.

Until this moment, everyone seemed to wake up from a dream.

Immediately afterwards, a cheer broke out, followed by a burst of warm applause.

This applause is not only a compliment to Yang Xiaotao's success, but also an admiration for his decisive comeback.

Liu Huaimin took the nut and handed it to Liu Daming with his own hands.

"Liu Gong, are you satisfied?"

Liu Daming took the bolt excitedly and shook his head with a smile, "There's nothing more satisfying than this!"

"It's much, much stronger than I was back then."

Then he turned around, walked to the machine, tightened the new bolts, and the machine rumbled and started running.

At this moment, new bolts replace old bolts, just like a relay between the old and new generations, passing on the fire from generation to generation.

Inside and outside the third workshop, except for those who were preparing for the assessment, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.

Yang Youning and Xu Yuanshan stood there, their mouths almost cracked to their ears.

Wang Guodong even laughed and cheered from time to time. He didn't care about the glances of the leaders around him, let alone his subordinates who were still being evaluated.

He really couldn't control it.

It would be an honor for many years to have an eighth-level worker under my command.

When I go out and talk about this to others in the future, if anyone doesn’t give a thumbs up, that’s because they are ignorant.

Wang Fache, Wenwei and the others hugged each other, unaware of the upcoming assessment.

They were happy for Yang Xiaotao from the bottom of their hearts.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this assessment tests a person's ability more than any drawings. This cannot be achieved through knowledge or experience. It can only be accomplished when talent reaches that level.

This kind of person is no worse than a precision machine tool.

Yang Xiaotao already has the potential of a great craftsman.

No, he is already a master craftsman.

From now on, we have to call him Yang Gong.

"Everyone, calm down!"

Liu Huaimin kept calm. Many people were taking assessments at this time and could not disturb others.

Everyone regained their composure and looked at Yang Xiaotao again, only to find that he had always remained calm, holding a water bottle in his hand, drinking slowly, with a slight smile on his face, neither arrogant nor impetuous.

Some people can't help but admire that this kind of Qi-nurturing skill, without being arrogant or impetuous, is not something ordinary people can have.

Yi Zhonghai clenched his fingers and his knuckles turned white, but he had to put a kind smile on his face and congratulated with the people around him.

Bangzhong patted his belly and said in his own voice, "Luck, it must be luck~"

Xu Damao sighed, "It's just a bolt. This test is too easy!"

Silly Zhu opened his mouth and frowned, "Don't really go through with it."

Jia Dongxu's body was swaying, and he knew without even thinking about the large diameter and medium diameter data that he couldn't do it!

Everyone has different opinions, but they can't stop the assessment from continuing.

At this time, the Level 5 assessment will also begin.

Zhou Peng, Li Wei and three others began to enter the venue.

"Come on, Brother Tao!"

"come on! Come on!"

Several people cheered each other up, then entered the workstation and began the assessment.

Liu Huaimin glanced at Guo Liang, who nodded and took out a drawing from his briefcase.

That is a standard eighth-level workpiece, and it is also the topic of this eighth-level fitter assessment.

Another assessor has already started, and no one is surprised.

"Gong Yang. This is an assessment question."

Guo Liang no longer called Yang Xiaotao by name when he spoke. In his opinion, it was already certain that Yang Xiaotao would become an eighth-level fitter. The ability of this bolt could not be surpassed by more than a slap in the face of the entire Forty-Nine City.

Invisibly, Yang Xiaotao's status has been elevated to that of a master.

He had to take it seriously.

"You have three hours to make it!"

"come on!"

After Guo Liang finished speaking, he handed the drawings to Yang Xiaotao. On the other side, someone placed two rough embryos in front of Yang Xiaotao's clamping station.

"good!"

Yang Xiaotao put down the kettle and then looked at the drawings.

As an eight-level artifact, the drawing is complex.

Level 8 fitters not only need to understand the drawings, but also convert the drawings into physical objects.

Among them, the secret paths and secret compartments inside must be considered in advance, and no mistakes can be made.

Three hours, no time for him to try and make mistakes.

Yang Xiaotao studied the drawings carefully, while Liu Daming found Liu Huaimin on the other side.

"This, test it for me!"

Liu Huaimin took a bolt and recognized it as one that Yang Xiaotao had discarded earlier.

Most of this bolt is finished, only a few teeth on the top are not damaged.

"good!"

Liu Huaimin did not disturb the others and took the measurements himself.

When the secretary moved, the factory director immediately noticed.

It was a little strange for several factory directors to stand next to each other.

It wasn't until Liu Huaimin finished the test and looked solemn that he understood what was going on.

"How many?"

"Large diameter, 15.053! Medium diameter, 14.826."

Hiss~~~

Several people took a breath.

Chen Gong even clapped the back of his hands.

"You guys said, if you take this thing out, it can be considered qualified!"

"This kid is so sure that he threw it away and redone it. Did he detect it?"

Chen Gong didn't know how to express his inner thoughts, but everyone understood it in their hearts.

Yang Xiaotao's ability to build on this foundation to a higher level is impressive.

"This guy is young, how did he become so good?"

Director Yang said.

Liu Daming on the side heard this, but he thought of his former figure, who was equally astonishingly talented, and equally young.

Unfortunately, I haven’t seen him for many years.

When he came back to his senses, he saw that everyone was still in shock, so he opened his mouth to explain.

"This is the ability given by God. Talent and hard work are both indispensable."

"Don't envy anyone, no one can envy you."

After hearing this, several people nodded.

"Old Xu, two rolling mills. It's your turn."

Chen Gong suddenly said to Xu Yuanshan, but Xu Yuanshan ran over immediately without even looking.

"Hey, it's easy to discuss. If two machines don't work, can we add an eighth-level fitter to swap with you?"

The two pulled away and glanced at Factory Director Yang and Liu Huaimin behind them.

Hahaha

The factory made a gold coin, which is a good sign!
