A domineering country girl flirts with her son, and Commander Huo can't resist.

Chapter 60 The Chief Engineer Exclaims "Genius!"

Liu Zhengang suddenly remembered the last thing Qiao An said.

"You're saying these data are ridiculously wrong?"

"What do you mean? How do you know the data is wrong? Who are you?"

Qiao An was not a good-tempered person to begin with, and hearing his aggressive tone, she didn't want to talk to him properly.

"Who I am is none of your business. Who do you think you are?"

"And this data, anyone can see it's wrong. According to your calculation standards, the error of this hand grinder is at least two micrometers."

"Do you know what two micrometers means? It means the grinding machines you make are useless."

Zhao Zhengang felt as if a clock was ringing loudly in his head.

He and two engineers worked through the night, calculating the error three times before finally finding it, while the woman had only glanced at the document when she picked it up and noticed it immediately.

If the data is incorrect, even if the grinding machine produces the part, the accuracy error will be too large, making it impossible to produce qualified parts.

These grinding machines are to be delivered to military factories, which is related to the research and development and manufacturing of future domestically produced military equipment.

Zhao Zhengang was so anxious that he developed several large blisters on his lips.

"Young man, don't pretend to know what you don't. Chief Engineer Zhao is the most senior and highly educated engineer in our factory. How could their data be wrong?"

"Exactly! How old are you? What could you possibly understand? Get out of here, get out of here!"

The two men who helped Zhao Zhengang up waved Qiao An away impatiently.

"Tch!" Joan said with a look of disgust. "Trying to make a few scraps of paper sound like a treasure? I advise you not to waste your time making a grinder."

Qiao An got on the tricycle to go to the logistics department, but after only two meters, the tricycle was pulled away.

"Young comrade! Young comrade, wait a minute!" Zhao Zhengang snapped out of his daze and quickly ran a few steps to stop the tricycle.

"What are you doing? Trying to extort me?" Qiao An glanced at him irritably.

"Explain what you just said clearly. Since you can understand data, tell me, do you know what's written on it and where the mistake is?"

"Why should I tell you? I'm in a bad mood right now and I don't want to talk!" Joan was still angry.

Zhao Zhengang's throat tightened, and his expression softened. "I was in a hurry just now, which is why I took my anger out on you. I apologize."

"Excuse me, sir."

Zhao Zhengang bowed deeply to Qiao An, and the two people next to him quickly helped him up.

"Chief Engineer Zhao, what are you doing? Why are you being so polite with a woman?"

"You two shut up!" Zhao Zhengang glared at them.

"Young comrade, can you tell me about it now?"

Although Chief Engineer Zhao is an impatient person, he is not a bad person; at least he is willing to admit his mistakes.

When Joan heard his apology, her anger subsided considerably.

She got off the tricycle.

"This is the manufacturing blueprint for a semi-automatic grinding machine, right?"

"Actually, there is no problem in manufacturing it according to the design plan on your drawings, but the grinding machine's precision is not up to standard, and the parts will need to be manually ground by a senior technician afterward."

"Why waste time? What's the point?"

"As for where you said it's wrong?" Joan walked up to him, "This one, the third line, the part about angle calculation, that's where the mistake starts. I didn't see the rest, but you don't need to look anymore."

Zhao Zhengang didn't even need to look at the documents, because the contents of those few pages were already imprinted in his mind.

Joan was right. He and other engineers had calculated that the error after the grinding machine was manufactured was indeed around two micrometers.

The error occurred in the angle calculation, which they only discovered after checking it all night.

He stared intently at Qiao An, his gaze terrifyingly bright.

It was as if a person on the verge of dying of thirst had discovered a pond.

This document is top secret; it only came out of the lab building today, so there's absolutely no way Qiao An could have seen it.

Zhao Zhengang's hands were trembling; he felt he might... he might have discovered a great treasure!

Actually, Qiao An wasn't a genius. It just so happened that the first piece of equipment she worked with in her previous life was a grinding machine, which is why she knew the data on it so well.

Other machine tools would probably require several days of research as well.

Zhao Zhengang snapped out of his shock, his grin widening.

"Young man, which department are you from? Who's your supervisor?"

The two people next to him noticed from Zhao Zhengang's tone that his attitude towards Qiao An had changed.

The two stopped talking and stood aside.

It's obvious that what Joanne just said is correct.

"I am a cook at the town police station canteen, not a worker at your machine tool factory."

Zhao Zhengang was taken aback. "What? You're not from our factory?"

Qiao An thought he was going to ask her why she came to the machine tool factory, so she explained before he could ask, "I came to see Director Geng of the logistics department."

However, Zhao Zhengang was thinking, "How could such a science and engineering genius be wielding a ladle in the police station's canteen?"

That's inhumane!

"Comrade Xiao Qiao, what kind of school did you attend? Where did you learn all this?"

"I never went to school. As for these things... I damaged my brain one day, and then I don't know why, but I suddenly became enlightened. After that, I always went to the state-run bookstore to read books, especially books on mechanics."

Qiao An's words sounded very far-fetched, but Zhao Zhengang believed them because he had read foreign papers before.

In a very small number of people, after being subjected to an external impact to the head, they may suddenly develop extraordinary special abilities.

I suppose Joan is that kind of person.

"Comrade Xiao Qiao, then...can you fix it? Since you can spot the mistake at a glance, you must be able to fix it even if you can't, right?"

Zhao Zhengang was also desperate, otherwise he would never have asked this stranger he had just met once.

With less than a month until delivery, they need to hand over the finished product to the military factory.

This design is the result of three months of work by everyone in their research lab.

It turned out to be wrong.

Zhao Zhengang's hair has almost turned white from staying up all night.

He rushed to the secretary's office on his bicycle just now because he wanted to ask him if it was possible to invite experts from the provincial capital to help.

But he also knew that the experts in the provincial capital were only so-so. The turmoil of recent years had caused a technological gap, and even the experts in the capital were probably relearning.

When the delivery date arrived, they provided the military with a grinding machine with a precision of two micrometers.

The entire machine tool factory would never be able to hold its head high in Zhongchuan Province again.

Zhao Zhengang was truly overwhelmed.

Feeling Zhao Zhengang's burning gaze, Qiao An sighed.

Although she is not from this world, the development history of the countries in the book is very similar to that of her former country.

This gave Qiao Ansheng a sense of agreement.

"I'll give it a try." Joan didn't make any promises, after all, she hadn't written anything in several years.

Qiao An extended her hand, and Zhao Zhengang immediately understood. He quickly pulled out a pen from his pocket and took out several sheets of calculation paper from his bag.

The commotion had already attracted the attention of the other workers.

People passing by stopped and gathered around.

Everyone looked at Qiao An with curiosity. How could such a young woman make Chief Engineer Zhao look at her differently?

He even personally handed her paper and pen.

You should know that normally when they talk to Chief Engineer Zhao, he won't even glance at them.
