Super Craftsman Chapter 67

Chapter 67 - Spring Festival (1)

Of course, Elder Liu could not agree that his disciple had been taken by others, but it was still possible for him to learn from them.

Other people would have to carefully watch them, but Master Li's fingers were very nimble, and his sense of touch was absolutely outstanding. Just by relying on the touch of his fingers, he was able to accurately determine the thickness of the wire, determine the precise location, and was also able to make a precise coil.

In Elder Liu's words, Old Li's head and fingers were very sensitive. Being able to find a mahjong card with his eyes closed was nothing to be proud of. Hearing this, Guo Tai Lai almost burst out laughing, and Master Li puffed his beard and glared at him, almost falling out with Elder Liu.

But then again, sometimes you can't really see with your eyes on the coil, and then feeling and experience are the most of the solutions. It's not impossible to wrap the machine as well as you can see it and tighten it, but it's a little different from hands-on work.

He had thought that Fatty Guo would be a weakling in this aspect, but who knew that Guo Tailai had another control system and five million nanobot in his head? The last time the system had upgraded, it had provided a new function that allowed one to sense the location of one's fingers. It was simply a super powerful ability!

Guo Tailai had tried it. It was so easy to find mahjong cards with his eyes closed. He could even tell the size of each mahjong cards, how deep the letters were, and how well the colors were filled.

In fact, the accuracy of finger tactile positioning can be compared with that of binocular 3D measurements. That was to say, even in this pitch black room, Guo Tailai could accurately measure the size of a finger to 0.2 micron.

In comparison, the Master Li's consummate skill of closing one's eyes and circling around was something that Guo Tai was familiar with in addition to practicing a few times. The accuracy of this technique was countless times higher than that of the Master Li.

Following Master Li, Guo Tailai studied for a week. The Master Li realized that the skill he was so proud of, the skill he had used to coil around others, had all been learnt by Guo Tailai. The shock caused Master Li to repeatedly cry out 'monster'.

It was December and the weather in the capital was freezing. However, Guo Tailai's business was still in full swing. There was no need to apply for more funds, both the Professor Wang and the department allowed Guo Tai Lai to "mess around". They all knew Guo Tai Lai's standard, at the very least, he would get a brand-new old lathe, so they let Guo Tai Lai and Elder Liu produce it.

Guo Tailai didn't have any blueprints at all. Everything was in his mind. Basically, he just did everything he could. First, he made the half finished product in each workshop, then he went to dust-free workshop to do the manual finishing. During the day, he spent most of his time on this cart.

Elder Liu didn't think there was anything wrong with Guo Tailai making a new electric motor instead of a lathe. He had no doubt about Guo Tailai's processing ability and his current ability to coil. The only thing he was worried about was Guo Tailai's ability to design electric motors.

After all, Guo Tailai was only a student of the seminal system, not an electrician. Especially before, Guo Tailai was just a failure in learning.

"Don't worry, Master." Guo Tailai wasn't anxious at all. He wasn't designing and manufacturing a stepping servo motor, which didn't need to be controlled by software. He just needed a brush less motor with a suitable power, adjustable speed, low noise, and low quiver.

Over time, the lathe parts were manufactured one by one, such as guideway, bearing, gear box, screw, motor, claw plate, tool system, tail top and so on. They were all semi-finished products, with only the final step remaining to refine them to the highest degree of precision. This time, Fatty worked very hard. He worked overtime every day at a very fast speed.

Next was a series of heat treatments. All the semi-finished products had been processed. At this point, Guo Tai Lai also stopped.

All the finished products, besides the electric motor, were once again stored in a simple storage room. There were only four pillars and a roof in this room. The purpose of this room was to allow these semi-finished products to be stored for a period of time, so as to eliminate the stress accumulation caused by processing.

Of course, this was a relatively short period of time. It would not last for many years, and two or three months would be enough after heat treatment. After the winter break, the final finishing and assembling can be done in at most a month.

It was January, and winter vacation was coming in a few days. Guo Tai Lai had a good rest before the break.

Zhao Yanyan went to look for Guo Tai before the break. However, she didn't ask Guo Tai to do anything, but made an appointment for him to recreate two sets of gyroscope after the start of the winter vacation. This would be the last time she would modify something, and then, she would bring all the items she had to attend the Spring Doctor's Arena. Zhao Yanyan would graduate in one month at the most.

In this period of time, Guo Tailai had been using other channels to inquire about the Famen Temple's buddhist bone relics. The buddhist finger bone relics were now well-kept in the Famen Temple, and were generally displayed as jade "spirit bones", which were also known as "hard bones" and imitation. Normally, unless one had an extremely deep background or a very deep friendship with the high monks of Famen Temple, it was impossible to get close to the real thing.

However, one day is an exception, that is April 8th, the "Buddha's Day," also known as Bath Buddha Festival. On this day, the Famen Temple would hold a grand ceremony, and at the same time, the genuine buddhist finger bone relics would be invited to be worshipped by the public. This year, it was clear that he wouldn't be able to make it in time. Next year was the eighth day of April, which was the fourteenth day of the fifth lunar month.

This was the most possible way Guo Tailai could think of to get close to the Buddhist Sangha. Although he was desperate, Guo Tailai could only patiently wait for the Buddha's Day to come. This was also the reason why he was able to calm his heart and make the lathe.

After watching his juniors go through the exam like crazy for a few days, Guo Tailai was in a good mood. He ordered half of the tickets and got on the train to go home with the rest of the students.

The parents of the old family in Jinjing Province were all waiting eagerly for Guo Tai's call. With Guo's return home, the home immediately became a sea of joy. Guo Tai Lai's favorite noodles, Ding Yumei had already rolled it out for him and the Guo Jianjun had also prepared it. She only waited for Guo Tai Lai to come back before cooking it.

Guo Tailai had been starving on the train for most of the day. He had not eaten since noon and had endured until evening until he waited for his mother's hand-rolled noodles. Holding the big bowl, he ate like a reincarnated hungry ghost.
