In the evening, Zhou Shenghong rushed to the machinery factory with three senior craftsmen, and then quickly came to the workshop under the leadership of the security department.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao was explaining the structural characteristics of mortise and tenon joints to Dai Qinggang and others.

Although it was just a spur of the moment, we still have to try it to know if it can work.

So while waiting for this moment, Yang Xiaotao designed a five-pointed star mortise and tenon structure, firstly to test whether it works, and secondly, to let Dai Qinggang and others see what the mortise and tenon structure is and the benefits of the mortise and tenon structure.

"Mr. Yang!"

As soon as Zhou Shenghong entered the workshop, she shouted at the top of her voice. The emotion contained in her voice made everyone around her tremble.

Yang Xiaotao was holding the finished workpiece and preparing to install it. Suddenly he heard a sound and his hand shook, almost dropping the workpiece to the ground.

People around looked on and saw Zhou Shenghong running all the way to Yang Xiaotao, very excited.

"Mr. Yang, I'm here."

Yang Xiaotao looked back and said, "I know you're here."

"Just in time, I don't have to do anything anymore, just put this up!"

With that said, he threw the workpiece in his hand to Zhou Shenghong.

After Zhou Shenghong took it, he looked at it twice.

"This is well done."

"One look at the design and accuracy, it must be Mr. Yang's craftsmanship!"

"Mr. Yang, I didn't expect you to know how to work as a carpenter? This mortise and tenon joint is not something that ordinary people can make. It is about being just right. One point more won't work, and one point less won't work. It's just an ingenious workmanship."

"Mr. Yang, you are really awesome. You can understand this kind of stuff. No wonder you are the chief engineer."

Zhou Shenghong came forward, the wrinkles on her face seemed to be blooming, and she kept saying compliments!

Even the three masters who followed me couldn't stand this nonsense, let alone the people in the machine shop in the workshop.

However, Zhou Shenghong didn't think it was flattering. Mr. Yang was very capable and what he said was the truth.

To be honest, can this be called flattery?

"Hurry up and show it to everyone!"

"Hey, look, this is our carpenter's unique skill!"

As he spoke, he came to the front of the crowd and looked at the people around him, deliberately showing off.

"Comrades, if the thing I have on hand were made of wood, it would be a mortise and tenon piece!"

"Speaking of the mortise and tenon joint, it is a good thing passed down from our ancestors. The protruding one is called the tenon and the recessed one is the mortise eye."

"Buttoned together with tenons and holes."

"The advantage of this mortise and tenon joint is that it is held together through the particularity of the structure and can be fixed without nails."

"That's it, this is a five-pointed star. You just need to smooth out the five sides in order and snap them together!"

With that said, Zhou Shenghong started to work, and within a few seconds a five-pointed star the size of a palm was ready.

bang bang bang

I knocked twice on the table nearby, but the five-pointed star did not fall apart.

"Look, it's strong."

Dai Qinggang and others around him quickly stepped forward to check, and even Ma Weijun and Shi Qian also stepped forward to examine it carefully.

This thing is fixed together without any welding. The five steel bars are simply buckled together, just like a whole body. It's confusing to look at it.

It can only be said that there are specialties in the art industry, and they are separated by different fields.

"Say something useful!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded on the side, and Zhou Shenghong's boastful look immediately returned to seriousness, "Well, the structure of this mortise and tenon joint is quite good."

"But it's not without problems. Let's take a look."

As he spoke, he took the five-pointed star and pulled it with both hands. The five-pointed star shook slightly.

"If our master had done this, it would be so one piece that you wouldn't even be able to see a single crack."

"But let's take a look at this!"

Zhou Shenghong pointed at the connection and pulled hard, and a gap could be seen.

"Real mortise and tenon joints, there are no gaps at all! This one is not very precise!"

Dai Qinggang and others looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the gap that was almost the size of a hair.

Seeing that several people didn't believe it, Zhou Shenghong immediately turned around and shouted, "Old Gao, Old Wu, tell me."

The three people who came with him immediately stepped forward to pick up the five-pointed star, looked at it carefully and then nodded.

"The factory director is right, but the processing accuracy is still a bit low. When we do the carpentry, we always leave some leeway and use a wooden hammer to knock it in, so it looks like a perfect fit."

Master Gao squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while before speaking with certainty.

Yang Xiaotao nodded at the side, "Master Gao, you are making wood, so you can leave more leeway, but steel is different from wood. Is there any way to solve it?"

Master Gao frowned, not only him, but also Zhou Shenghong and others.

Only then did Yang Xiaotao realize that he had asked the wrong person.

How do these people who work with wood know about steel?

He looked back at Dai Qinggang and the others.

After a while, Ma Weijun said carefully.

"Mr. Yang, we welders know that the methods used in winter and summer are different, and the time of welding is also particular, which means that the temperature is different, which directly affects the quality of the work. What do you think..."

"Okay, good idea!"

Yang Xiaotao clapped his hands, "Let's lower the temperature and the processed steel will expand and contract with heat. In this environment, it should be fine!"

Dai Qinggang and others also understood what Ma Weijun meant, "Old Ma, you have a good idea!"

"This situation is easy to solve. Our factory's cold storage does not see sunlight all year round, and the temperature will not exceed 15 degrees. When the time comes, we will get some ice cubes and put them inside, and the temperature will be enough!"

Wang Fa beside him also spoke up and suggested, and everyone nodded after hearing this.

Yang Xiaotao even smiled, "Look, the wisdom of the people is infinite, Lou Xiao'e, take note of this."

Lou Xiao'e stood aside, immediately took out the pen on her body and found a piece of paper.

"Comrade Ma Weijun made a pertinent suggestion and was awarded five yuan, along with next month's salary!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the people around him immediately expressed their congratulations. Zhou Shenghong and others even opened their eyes. Five yuan, how easy is it?

Ma Weijun was also taken aback, shaking his head repeatedly and saying no need, no need, but Yang Xiaotao had already said it, which meant the matter was settled.

In fact, Yang Xiaotao does this to show others that as long as he has a good idea and can solve the problem, he will not hesitate to reward him.

Didn’t you see that Zhou Shenghong and others are already gearing up?

Yang Xiaotao decided to strike while the iron was hot.

"Come, look at this!"

Yang Xiaotao picked up the two welded parts. This is a side protective plate. Because the part is too large, it needs to fit in with the frame inside when connecting to other parts. According to the original method, it was welded with a piece of steel inside.

.

"How to design it so that it can be stuck with both the top and the shelves inside!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Zhou Shenghong and the others immediately came forward to check. They knew that if they performed well, they might be able to become a real "worker" in the machinery factory, not to mention having meat to eat in the future.

The four of them instinctively took out pencils from their pockets and drew on them.

Yang Xiaotao listened for a while and could understand most of them, except when they used special terms to communicate.

Obviously, the levels of these four carpenters are not low, at least higher than his fifth level.

After a while, several people discussed it, and Zhou Shenghong spoke up, "Mr. Yang, we have an idea."

"Here, we are going to use a wedge tenon, which means leaving a round tenon that will fit right into the frame inside!"

Master Gao on the side stretched out his fists and palms and gestured to the crowd twice, which was very vivid.

"Here, we plan to use a few chuck tenons to fix the lower plate to the upper one, but the clamping teeth and heads need better materials."

Zhou Shenghong stated the opinions discussed by several people, and Yang Xiaotao nodded.

This method should be feasible, and materials are not a problem.

Nowadays, there are still a lot of alloys in steel plants, which are enough for use.

Seeing that several people had an idea, Yang Xiaotao did not try any more. He came directly to him and said solemnly, "Old Zhou! I have a task for you!"

"Mr. Yang, the workers in our lumber factory have been waiting for this day for a long time! If you need anything, please give me your orders."

Zhou Shenghong suppressed the excitement in her heart and said with assurance.

This time, it was finally the turn of their carpentry factory to take the lead!
