Wu Zhonghua also has a sense of accomplishment. When making steam engine parts, he felt the same feeling as when he was young.
The development of CNC machine tools has gradually made skilled workers like him less important.
As he grows older, Wu Zhonghua's body is not as good as before.
In the past, Wu Zhonghua could file for eight hours at a time while standing at his workstation. However, before his retirement, his physical strength was not as good as before. A severe lumbar disc herniation already made it painful for him to bend down.
But after entering the game, Wu Zhonghua's body has returned to the state of his youth.
He picks up the file every day and is full of energy. His waist no longer hurts and he is full of endless energy.
This steam engine was built by Wu Zhonghua who worked day and night for five days. Looking at the white steam spewing from the exhaust port, Wu Zhonghua felt that he had worked hard day and night for national projects.
This game is so fun!
For a person of Wu Zhonghua's age, he does not understand what a sandbox game with a high degree of freedom is.
An old worker who has spent his whole life honing his skills in the workshop knows only a few characters in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties about the Tang Dynasty.
But this kind of state that makes Wu Zhonghua feel young again is really great!
Not only Wu Zhonghua thinks so, but Wu Zhonghua’s wife Zhang Juanhua also thinks so.
The old couple have been addicted to the game every day since they entered the game. Aunt Zhang no longer even dances in the square.
Wu Zhonghua works in the workshop every day turning parts, while Aunt Zhang found a job where she can use her spare energy.
Last month, plague broke out in several Qiang tribes in northern Jiuquan County in the Hexi region.
Aunt Zhang didn't know when she joined a player union called "Hua Tuo Lives". The union organized a medical team, and Aunt Zhang actually signed up to participate.
The old couple has been separated in the game since then, but they eat at the same table every day when they go offline.
What Wugang didn't expect was that parents who were busy in the game would actually have fewer quarrels.
Talking about the interesting things they encountered at the dinner table, Wuhan Gang seemed to have returned to the warm scene when he was a child, when his parents were busy at work and the family rarely got together to eat together.
The steam engine was successfully developed, and Wuhan Iron and Steel immediately reported the system.
Li Yan, who was having breakfast, received a prompt from the system.
[Player Wuhan Iron and Steel reported that it built the first steam engine in the Tang Dynasty!]
Li Yan immediately turned on the system and steam engine!
Ever since the first batch of players entered the game, these guys have been clamoring for steam engines.
But most players have given up. DIY steam engines in Datang are much more difficult than replicating steam engines in modern society.
Without lathes or high-precision measuring instruments, one can imagine how difficult it would be to produce precision equipment such as a hand-operated steam engine.
There was even an unlucky guy who accidentally had a cylinder explosion when he was making a steam engine. He needed a resurrection book to stay alive.
According to Jian Xia's estimation, with the current technological capabilities of players, it will take at least a year to build a commercial steam engine.
Some players have already succeeded?
Li Yan immediately checked the records. It turned out that it was because Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. had a father who was an eighth-level fitter!
Li Yan slapped his head, why didn't he think of this?
"The system will select a few more retired technical workers the next time the player qualifications are drawn."
【As you wish.】
Li Yan continued: "Issuing a server-wide announcement and giving rewards to Wuhan Iron and Steel and Wuhan Zhonghua!"
[The contribution of the steam engine to science is far greater than the contribution of science to the steam engine.]
["Baigong" players Wuhan Iron and Steel and Wu Zhonghua invented the steam engine and completed the game achievement - the harbinger of the industrial revolution!]
[Achievement Reward 1: Baigong Professional Experience Reward.]
[Achievement reward 2: A game test qualification.]
[Achievement reward 3: The only epic title—Fire Stealer, and obtain the response forum badge.]
When this server-wide announcement was issued, all players were shocked and felt that it was natural, followed immediately by a carnival of all players!
After all this time, we finally have a steam engine!
Seeing the server-wide announcement, Wuhan Iron and Steel looked at the rewards and was so excited that it was hard to attach them.
Nowadays, the price of a game testing qualification on second-hand trading websites has reached as high as six figures.
In other words, this "invention" allowed the Wu family to earn the income they had earned after working for several years!
Although Wu Zhonghua is an eighth-level fitter, his treatment is just that of an ordinary retired worker.
Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. is a hard-working robot with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan. This money is a huge sum of money for them!
As soon as the excitement passed, Wuhan Steel immediately said: "Dad! Hurry up and close the private message!"
"Son, you're too late. How can I close so much information?"
Wu Zhonghua clicked on a red dot in the private chat window, and thousands of private messages popped up in an instant.
Wu Zhonghua was flooded with crazy private messages, and he looked at a loss as the transparent dialog box that popped up overwhelmed him.
“Dad, log out and log in again, remember to close private chat when you come back up!”
Wu Zhonghua immediately switched offline, and his body in the game gradually became dull. After a while, Wu Zhonghua logged into the game again.
"It's so scary!" Wu Zhonghua said.
Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. had been mentally prepared for a long time. He said: "They must all come to ask for cooperation, some want to buy steam engines, and some just join in the fun."
Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., who is also a player, is naturally aware of players' peeing habits.
"Dad, how long does it take for our steam engine to be produced?"
Wu Zhonghua dragged his chin and said: "If I still use handwork, I estimate that it will take three days to build one."
"so slow?"
Wu Zhonghua said: "I have to come to the car for the key parts, and the cylinder parts have to be polished by hand, which takes a day."
"The shell and pipes are simple. Those you made before are already qualified, but the precision of the connectors is not enough."
Wuhan Iron and Steel is a little depressed, and the production efficiency is too low.
Wu Zhonghua looked at his son and said, "You are still a college student. Have you forgotten the greatest significance of the steam engine?"
Wu Gang looked at his father, and Wu Zhonghua said angrily: "You haven't even found a girlfriend in four years of college!"
"The greatest significance of a steam engine is to provide a stable source of power, so that we can manufacture industrial machines."
"With the industrial mother machine, our processing accuracy and processing speed can be greatly improved, so that we can build more steam engines."
"This is the steam engine's biggest leap forward for industrialization. You kid don't even understand this?"
Hearing his father's scolding, Wu Gang lowered his head. This was the first time since high school that he had been reprimanded by his father with all his heart.
The father who was once proud of his skills and was the boss at home has become kind-hearted as his body grows older.
Wuhan Iron & Steel, who admired his father immensely when he was a child, originally looked down on his father's status as a craftsman, and even complained about why his father wanted him to study mechanical engineering.
But when Wu Zhonghua said these words, Wuhan Iron and Steel finally realized why steam engines promote the progress of human society.
Such a small machine is not just a source of power.
There are many sources of power used in human history, such as wind energy, water energy, and even the ancients used solar energy to heat food using sunlight.
Compared with the surging river water, the steam engine is actually not powerful.
But why did human beings begin to develop by leaps and bounds after the emergence of the steam engine? The development in just a few hundred years exceeded the sum of thousands of years?
Or because the steam engine is an energy source that is completely controllable by humans.
Steam engines can provide stable and continuous power, allowing humans to build things like industrial machines.
The industrial mother machine can produce more steam engines, which in turn provides more power sources.
The harbinger of the industrial age was not sung from the roaring whistles of steam engines, but from the cutting and milling sounds of industrial machines!
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Wuhan Iron and Steel finally understood what the romance of machinery is. We robots have transformed the world!
The sudden sense of pride once again made Wuhan Iron and Steel understand where his father's sense of honor came from.
Wuhan Iron and Steel said to Wu Zhonghua: "Dad, I want to learn fitter technology from you."
Wu Zhonghua looked at his son in confusion.
My son, who has become more and more rebellious since high school, turned disdainful of fitter skills after entering college.
"Mechanical engineering, a rubbish and backward discipline, should be eliminated by the times."
Although Wuhan Iron and Steel has rarely said these words in recent years, the gap between father and son has invisibly widened.
Unexpectedly, after playing a game, both father and son solved the knot that had been in their hearts for many years.
Wu Zhonghua raised his voice and said: "Since you want to learn, then I will teach you! But you also know that I am very strict with my apprentices!"
Wuhan Iron and Steel immediately said: "I want to learn, dad, don't worry, my son is not afraid of hardship!"
Wuhan Iron and Steel then said: "Wait a minute, Dad, how are your disciples doing now?"
Wu Zhonghua said: "They? It's time to retire to the second line now, right? They will retire in a few years, right?"
Wu Gang's eyes lit up and he said: "Dad, tell my senior brothers if you want to play games together?"
Only then did Wuhan Iron and Steel remember that several of Wu Zhonghua's apprentices were also technical backbones, and all of them were experts in their own right.
If they can enter the game, the efficiency of their steam engine workshop will be greatly accelerated!
Wu Zhonghua frowned and said: "I read the forum a few days ago and it said that a test qualification costs hundreds of thousands. Are you willing to give it up?"
Wuhan Iron and Steel said: "If you give it up! What's the gain if you don't give it up? As long as we start this steam engine workshop, we can make more than this little money!"
"This is a steam engine! We will also build an industrial machine later!"
"I don't want my children to be able to catch a wolf, so our two test qualifications are considered investments!"
Wu Zhonghua nodded and said: "Okay, I will contact your senior brothers and work together to bring the Tang Dynasty file into the industrial age!"
