Chapter 0003: Obfuscation

"Alright, as long as you can fix it, I will have someone else clean the cannon chamber," Liu Jianzh said

If you can't fix it, then keep wiping it; don't even think about slacking off! In Liu Jianzh's eyes, Qin Zhenhua is impossible to fix. How could it be possible? He has been doing repairs here for over ten years, and he has run out of ideas himself; how could he manage? Since the conversation has reached this point, let him know the reality of the situation. If it can't be fixed, let's see who ends up embarrassed. If something gets broken, it would be just right to report it to the workshop director and have him dismissed

After Qin Zhenhua finished speaking, he picked up a steel rod from the side and walked to the back of the tank next to Zhang Xiangqian. Then, he inserted the steel rod into the top of the pin of the track. This action was all too familiar to the tank crew and the maintenance personnel; by smashing out the pin inside, the track would be disconnected. This is the procedure for disassembling the track.

The number of people around is also increasing, and everyone is watching Qin Zhenhua's contradictory method of repair, which is truly perplexing.

Understood

The experienced masters could not discern it, yet this young man was able to see through it

"Master Liu, there is copper plating inside this cannon barrel, and it must be cleaned immediately; otherwise, it will be impossible to remove," said Qin Zhenhua. "If I take over the repairs, then who will clean the cannon barrel?"

Every word of this was heard by Liu Jianzhi, and his expression grew increasingly serious. Although your father is capable of anything, that does not mean you can do everything. Liu Jianzhi had no intention of allowing Qin Zhenhua to operate the tank; he only planned to have him clean the gun barrel, attach the tracks, and perform manual labor.

However, given the current situation, since the matter has reached this point, if we do not allow him to make repairs, it would appear as though we are intentionally suppressing him. Therefore, it would be better to let him take action and test his capabilities, as it will not have any significant impact anyway

Let's see how you embarrass yourself later! I will drive you away today

"Why are you taking apart the tracks?" Zhang Xiangqian asked in confusion

Upon hearing Qin Zhenhua's words, Wang Erzhu beside him could not help but show a look of admiration. Both were unyielding, yet he himself was too direct, even to the point of creating opposition with Liu Jianzhi, while Qin Zhenhua managed to have Liu Jianzhi express it voluntarily

"Hello, Zhenhua, I am here to help you." Wang Erzhu hesitated for a moment but still approached Qin Zhenhua.

Bang, bang, bang! Wang Erzhu swung the heavy hammer and struck three times, causing the pin inside to be pushed out halfway. Qin Zhenhua pulled it out completely, and the track fell off with a clatter from the back. In just a short while, he was drenched in sweat. He had been busy preparing for the college entrance examination for the past six months, neglecting his physical fitness, and his physical condition had deteriorated significantly. Moreover, he had been cleaning the cannon barrel all day today, and he was also exhausted.

"Indeed, I can fix it," Qin Zhenhua said with an honest demeanor. "For those who know how, it is not difficult; for those who do not, it is impossible. It is actually just a minor malfunction, and there is no need for major efforts."

Of course," said Qin Zhenhua, "Come on!"

"However, I still need to clean the cannon chamber." Upon hearing Liu Jianzhi say this, Qin Zhenhua instead shifted the topic, "You want me to fix it just like that? Then who will take care of cleaning the cannon chamber?"

Is he capable of fixing it right away? Or should we discuss it first? When it comes to repairs, everyone usually studies the issue in advance and discusses it before taking action. Jumping straight into disassembly is the act of a novice. Just now, Liu Jianzhih was taken aback by Qin Zhenhua's words and suggested that Qin Zhenhua should handle the repairs. However, before he actually takes action, we must hear his opinion first

Alright, Master Liu, I will get started then

Master Liu, since this young comrade says he can repair it, let him give it a try. If he can fix it, that would be a great contribution to us. Zhang Xiangqian then spoke up: With so many apprentices, it would be the same if someone else came to clean it.

Then you should speak first

However, these words sounded like a guilty conscience to Liu Jianzhi

If it is said that Qin Zhenhua can resolve the internal noise issue, Master Liu absolutely does not believe it. The abnormal noise reappeared during this test run, and Master Liu is at his wit's end. He simply decided to let Qin Zhenhua have a try. When he fails to fix it, it will be just the right opportunity to get rid of him. This time, the reasons are ample: not following his arrangements, being overly ambitious, having high aspirations but low abilities, interfering with maintenance work, and wasting national resources. One by one, these accusations are enough to get Qin Zhenhua dismissed, and the factory leadership will have nothing to say about it.

Wang Erzhu took the sledgehammer and went to help Qin Zhenhua. As he swung it, he struck a pose and asked Qin Zhenhua: "Zhenhua, are you sure we should dismantle it this way?"

After all, Qin Zhenhua's visit to the factory was directly arranged by the factory director. Everyone knows it is to take care of him. Hmph, who is here to take care of us? This is a military factory; should we not be taken care of? Principles must be upheld

"From the tone of your voice, it seems you know where the fault lies and how to fix it?" Liu JianzhI asked

It is necessary to understand that this kind of work requires two people: one to wield the sledgehammer and the other to hold the steel rod. Now, Qin Zhenhua has inserted the steel rod and is preparing to wield the sledgehammer, intending to resolve the task by himself

Now, having dismounted the tank, he began to study the rear of the tank. The gearbox has also been replaced, yet it still makes a clattering noise. What could be the problem?

Liu Jianzhiz also froze for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on his face. Great, just now boasting about being able to repair things, you have been here for three days, and apart from cleaning the cannon chamber, you have only been disassembling the tracks. These are all labor-intensive tasks. Now, all you can do is these, yet you still brag about being able to fix the strange noises

"Can you fix it?" At that moment, the test driver Zhang from the 69 tank spoke up. He joined the factory in 1958 as an experienced mechanic. Later, he could no longer handle the physical demands on the production line, so he came to the maintenance workshop, where the work offers greater flexibility.

Qin Zhenhua took a few breaths, rested for a moment, and under the gaze of everyone, began to dismantle the drive wheel

At that moment, when Qin Zhenhua began to dismantle the drive wheel, Liu Jianzhi suddenly seemed to have thought of something and tapped his own head.

However, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before he began to feel guilty. Wang Er Zhu, you are truly not a good friend; right now, Qin Zhenhua is helping you vent your frustrations, and yet you are still hesitating

The malfunction is characterized by unusual noises, and it is evident even to the apprentices who are learning from experienced technicians; the clattering noise is emanating from the gearbox. However, Qin Zhenhua did not disassemble the gearbox but instead chose to dismantle the tracks. What was his purpose in disassembling the tracks?

Liu Jianzhi unexpectedly revealed a smile on his face, and Wang Erzhu immediately sensed that something was amiss. Liu Jianzhi must have known that Qin Zhenhua was just making a fuss. Even Wang Erzhu himself was aware that the issue of the abnormal noise during the track disassembly and maintenance was completely irrelevant.

Upon hearing that he would have to clean the cannon chamber, Wang Erzhu became furious. Now that he thinks about it, the words he said must have offended this master craftsman. Now, with Qin Zhenhua acting this way, it will only make Liu Jianzhi lose face. Can he go up to help? In the future, will Liu Jianzhi make things difficult for him?

The power system of the tank is located at the rear, where the engine outputs power, which is transmitted to the transmission through multiple dry clutches. This power is then output to the drive wheels here via a two-stage planetary steering mechanism and a single external meshing side reducer. The drive wheels propel the tracks, fulfilling the basic function of movement

This is not scientific
