In the two years we have been in the factory, the tasks in the model room have increased, and the time required to complete the model section has become tighter and tighter. In order to solve this contradiction fundamentally and improve the production capacity of our model section as soon as possible, the leaders of the factory went to the relevant departments of the head office. After many applications, they spent a lot of twists and turns and experienced countless hardships. Everyone finally saw that a brand new all-purpose woodworking mill had been pulled into our model room and placed in the aisle of the model room. Simply put, the woodworking universal milling machine had been pulled into the model room.
This set of equipment could be considered to have been pulled into the model room. At first, it could only be parked in the aisle and could not be installed, let alone put into use. In the corridor of the model room, the wooden box of the woodworking universal milling machine had been opened. The smell of new equipment and new paint was faintly emitted in the model room. The workshop director, the section chief, Master Yang, a few team leaders, and the technical staff of the workshop discussed it several times. In the end, he decided to place the new universal woodworking mill in an empty room on the right side of the model room.
The installation site had been confirmed, and the machinery needed to be drawn out. This problem was easy to solve. There were technicians in the workshop. After the design was done, it had to be reviewed by the factory's technical department. Finally, it was handed over to Third Company, and the model section and the maintenance section would work together to install it.
After a few days of planning, the technical department of the factory had already made a blueprint for the installation of the woodworking universal milling machine. The electrical and mechanical accessories for the installation of the equipment had been delivered to the site, and the auxiliary materials had been confirmed and sent to the model room. The equipment could be installed.
The universal milling machine was installed. After comparing it with the blueprint, the problem came. The original floor of this empty room was concrete, and this equipment could not be directly located on the original concrete floor. It had to be connected to the concrete foundation through a few anchor bolts. Moreover, the base line of the equipment had to be 100mm above the ground.
According to the process requirements on the equipment installation blueprint: The elevation of the top surface of the concrete equipment foundation should be 100mm higher than the ground. The anchor bolts must be placed in the concrete foundation, and the concrete foundation must be buried underground. To meet this construction requirement, the original concrete floor must be knocked down by about 6 square meters, then the foundation pit must be dug, the anchor bolts must be re-installed, and the concrete equipment foundation must be poured. On top of the concrete equipment, he would install a universal woodworking mill.
The first step of installing this universal woodworking mill was to destroy the original concrete floor at the installation site. The concrete that needed to be watered had already been ordered by the brothers. The time to start work had been confirmed. Today.
At this time, the main leaders of the workshop arrived. The technician used a dump truck to deliver an 18-pound sledgehammer. However, this technician was a middle-aged woman. She definitely could not do such a job. The old company commander took the sledgehammer and raised it over his head. He panted and put it down again. He stood on the spot and panted heavily.
The old company commander smiled bitterly at everyone. He shook his head and said loudly,"I can't do it now. Age is not forgiving. I'm already in my fifties. When I was young, I used to do this kind of work on the North Korean battlefield.”
Seeing this, almost everyone in the modeling section shook their heads. It's no wonder. Our wood molders never need such a big hammer.
Then how could such a hard concrete floor be smashed?
At this moment, a leader in the workshop suggested," He had to go outside and hire someone to complete this mission. However, after hearing this, I felt that I had to hire someone outside for such a small matter. I didn't feel very comfortable. "Could it be that our Third Company really can't do it ourselves? We have to find someone else to do such a small job.”I muttered. He walked to the old company commander and bent down to pick up the sledgehammer.
When I was an educated youth, I had done this job. He had a rough idea. Thus, I held the sledgehammer in my hand and weighed my center of gravity. I estimated that there was no problem with my own strength. Then, he picked up the 16-kilogram sledgehammer and went to the installation site of the milling machine. He placed it on the ground and carefully observed the surface layer of the concrete. The surface layer of the concrete was dark gray. The surface hardness is very high. Can you break it? I had no idea what to do and wanted to back out. But then I thought about it. I've already picked up this sledgehammer and held it in my hand. I can't afford to lose face if I don't even hit it and retreat. He had to hit her a few times. If it really didn't work, he had also tried his best. At the very least, he said that he didn't regret it.
Thus, I stood in the general direction where the concrete floor needed to be removed and nodded at the technician.
I held the handle of the sledgehammer with my hand and said loudly to technician Liu,"Technologist Liu, how much area do you need to shoot? Please use a white line to mark the area.”
Technologist Liu agreed. She bent over and drew a white line on the ground with a white chalk. She lowered her head and asked me worriedly,"Can you do it or not?"
The section chief, Master Yang, was also worried. He said to me,"Can you do it? If you can't, don't force yourself." Everyone present looked at me suspiciously. There were also people who pulled me to the side and kept persuading me,"If you can't do it, don't force yourself." This is not a joke."
There were also a few young companions. They waved their arms and shouted at me loudly,"Stone, are you really going to risk your life today?”
Their kind words and the kind words of the young companions aroused my determination.
So, I shook my arms hard and stretched my waist. I raised my head and replied loudly,"When I was an educated youth, I only hit rocks on the mountain. I've never hit concrete. However, I want to give it a try. I wonder if this will work?”
Then, I shouted at the top of my lungs,"Now, everyone, get out of the way. Move aside. I'm going to fight. Don't hurt you by accident."
Before I could finish my sentence, I grabbed the bamboo handle of the sledgehammer and swung it high above my head. The 18-pound sledgehammer waved in the air, moving rapidly along an invisible arc with a gust of wind. It smashed down fiercely on the ground inside the white frame that I had just drawn. As soon as the first hammer landed, a few irregular cracks of two to three millimeters wide appeared on the surface of the original concrete layer.
Upon seeing this situation, I immediately felt even more confident. I couldn't help but feel smug in my heart. It seemed that this was just a small matter. A smug smile began to appear on my face.
So I put away the sledgehammer, adjusted my position, and got into a stance again. I swung the 16-pound sledgehammer in my hand and continuously smashed it on the concrete ground that I had drawn. After a dozen consecutive strikes, many small pieces appeared on the original concrete surface. I became more and more pleased with myself and smashed it fiercely without stopping.
At this moment, I heard the section chief, Master Yang, shout repeatedly,"Alright, alright, stop, stop. He stopped. That was enough. Don't smash it. It's enough. If you smash it again, it'll be too much."
At this time, I stopped and put down the big hammer in my hand while panting. I wiped the sweat on my head with my hand and carried the 18-pound hammer out of the empty room proudly.
Everyone rushed up with a bamboo dustpan and picked up the concrete pieces that I had just smashed. They were picked up and placed outside the model room. They filled the long pit that was often formed by the car wheels. Then, someone used a steel drill and shovel to dig out a pit that was more than half a meter deep in the empty room. The fitter masters began to lay out the line, install the anchor bolts, and support the template...
At this moment, I heard the loud and cheerful laughter of our class monitor behind me."Little Rock, this person isn't tall, but I can't tell that he's quite strong. He's really useful at the critical moment.”
Some of his fellow disciples jokingly commented,"Fortunately, we have never offended him in the past. Otherwise, if we were to fight with him, I'm afraid we might really be at a disadvantage.”
After positioning the foundation bolt, the next step was to adjust the installation height of the foundation bolt. After another round of adjustment, the wood molder made the template and took some fixing measures. After everything was confirmed. Someone had called the concrete mixing plant. It didn't take long before the sound of a dump truck could be heard from outside the model room. The concrete was sent to the model room and poured into the basic template of the woodworking universal milling machine. After that, it was the sound of the concrete vibrating rod, which vibrated the concrete foundation continuously.
After the poured concrete equipment foundation reached a certain level of strength, the installation of the universal woodworking mill officially began. Not long after, the mill began to play its role. In order to make full use of this equipment, we have set a principle. This specialized equipment could not be operated by everyone. Someone must be assigned to be responsible for operation, maintenance, and maintenance.
Not long after, our section specially transferred a master who operated the milling machine. In the future, whenever they needed to make a clay core box, there would be a wood molder and a mill worker working together. The wood molder would first prepare the materials for making the clay core box and lay down the thread. The milling machine was responsible for grinding out the mud core box. Doing so had indeed increased its effectiveness. The time had been greatly brought forward. The work he did was even more impressive.
However, there were also some people who gossiped. They were used to using this milling machine, and they were afraid that once they left the milling machine, they would not be able to get the clay core box. After some research, the leaders of the workshop set an unwritten rule for the model room. As long as the time requirement for the model production was not urgent, the mill should not be used. After all, the cost of using a milling machine was too high.
One day in the spring of 1973, due to the large production tasks of the month, the Power supply bureau prepared to cut off the power supply to repair the equipment before 9:00 a.m. on the 30th of the month. The workshop held a mobilization meeting. The furnace must be fully opened before 9:00 a.m. on the 30th to ensure that the monthly production tasks of the workshop were completed.
