"Stop, hurry up and go find Nie Xiaosu. I don't have time to chat with you. Lately, Hongfeng Electronics Factory has been getting more and more orders. I'm so busy I don't even have time to drink water, let alone chat with you!"
Master Zhou started to dismiss him.
"Master Zhou, let's set a limit of one afternoon. If I don't learn it by then, I'll leave Hongfeng Electronics Factory voluntarily. How about that?"
Chen Feng directly provoked him.
"Seriously?"
"We can put it in writing."
Chen Feng replied firmly.
"That's not necessary. You're a favored person around Nie Xiaosu. If you renege, I can't do anything to you. However, I can use this to curb your arrogance. If you lose, regardless of whether you leave Hongfeng Electronics Factory or not, there's one thing you need to understand: don't show off in front of me anymore."
Master Zhou glared fiercely at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng nodded in agreement.
Thus, Master Zhou wasted no more words.
To ensure fairness, Master Zhou taught Chen Feng the basic welding process and key points three times consecutively.
Normally, apprentices would start by assisting and only begin learning basic welding after they gradually familiarized themselves with the welding environment.
Since Chen Feng, this young man, was being taught basic welding right from the start, he had to be taught an extra time.
"Alright, I've demonstrated three times. From now on, whether you can learn it or not depends on your own fortune."
After speaking, Master Zhou ignored Chen Feng and went back to welding.
Time passed quickly, and the afternoon was soon over.
Master Zhou then remembered the bet he had made with Chen Feng.
So, Master Zhou immediately went to look for Chen Feng, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find him.
Master Zhou misunderstood, thinking Chen Feng had given up halfway and gone to slack off.
"It's normal. These days, how many workers have long-term ambitions? They just do their job day by day. Learning skills patiently? Not a chance."
Master Zhou muttered to himself and then went to the cafeteria for a meal.
After eating, Master Zhou realized something was wrong. He hadn't seen Chen Feng at dinner that evening.
Could he be too lazy to even eat?
Just as Master Zhou was feeling puzzled, a colleague from the welding workshop ran over to find him, looking astonished.
"Master Zhou, this is bad, it's like seeing a ghost!"
The colleague shouted breathlessly.
"It's broad daylight, how can you see a ghost?"
Master Zhou retorted.
"I just passed by the warehouse, and I actually... I actually... saw purple welding arc light! If that's not seeing a ghost, what is it?"
The colleague said with a look of terror.
"Don't scare yourself. I've worked at Hongfeng Electronics Factory for decades and have never seen a ghost. Wait, you said you saw some light?"
Master Zhou suddenly reacted.
"Purple light! A very intense purple light."
"This is interesting. I'll go take a look now and see who's playing tricks in the warehouse."
After speaking, Master Zhou took his colleague to the warehouse.
The moment the two pushed open the warehouse door, an unexpected scene unfolded before them. Chen Feng was welding with great concentration.
And the arc light produced by the welding was indeed purple.
The two were instantly struck with awe. Damn, what was going on? Shouldn't welding arc light be blue? How did it turn purple?
"Master Zhou, what exactly is going on?"
The colleague asked tremblingly.
"It's easy to understand. Hongfeng Electronics Factory has produced a welding prodigy."
Master Zhou's demeanor changed completely, a 180-degree turn.
From previous disdain to admiration.
"Welding prodigy? What does that mean? I don't understand."
The colleague asked, looking confused.
"It means Chen Feng added trace elements to the welding gun, causing the color of the welding arc light to change. That's all I'll say. Remember, only the three of us know about this. If anyone else finds out, you'll be fired."
Master Zhou said with a solemn expression.
The colleague was still completely bewildered.
He didn't understand how a common laborer who relied on his girlfriend had suddenly become a welding master.
He also didn't understand why they had to keep the purple welding light a secret.
After a moment of thought, the colleague decided not to think about it anymore.
There was nothing to think about. One was a favored person around Nie Xiaosu, and the other was the highest-paid technician at Hongfeng Electronics Factory. He couldn't afford to offend either of them, so he would pretend he saw nothing today.
Thus, the colleague immediately left the warehouse.
"Chen Feng, I really underestimated you. Not only did you learn the basic welding skills in an afternoon, but you also learned to apply it and started adding trace elements to the welding gun."
Master Zhou said excitedly.
"Master Zhou, why is it that when I add trace elements as described online, it only produces purple light? Shouldn't it be yellow light?"
Chen Feng asked with confusion.
"The reason for the purple light is that there is too little oxygen. Try opening the oxygen cylinder and then welding."
Master Zhou suggested calmly.
Chen Feng didn't waste any words and immediately opened the oxygen cylinder to weld.
He didn't know the effect until he tried, and Chen Feng was truly impressed.
Damn, following Master Zhou's suggestion, the yellow welding arc light actually appeared.
Chen Feng was exceptionally excited, not because the yellow welding light finally appeared, but because Master Zhou's welding skills were truly remarkable.
No matter how difficult the welding problem, Master Zhou could solve it with ease.
This meant that next, adding magnesium element to the welding gun could definitely be conquered by Master Zhou.
Therefore, Chen Feng immediately discussed the technique of adding magnesium element to the welding gun with Master Zhou.
"No need to try. I've tried it before. Adding magnesium element to the welding gun doesn't work."
Master Zhou replied directly.
"Master Zhou, what's going on? You saw it yourself, I can add other trace elements to the welding gun, why can't I add magnesium element?"
Chen Feng asked, completely puzzled.
"Because magnesium element has low density and a strong tendency towards ionization, making it difficult to react with air. Adding magnesium element to the welding gun is the same as not adding anything."
Master Zhou replied earnestly.
"I see! Master Zhou, this is my thought: the Japanese have successfully developed the high-tech welding with added magnesium element. There's no reason why we Chinese can't develop it."
Chen Feng said confidently.
"Chen Feng, as an ambitious young man from China, I appreciate and am comforted by your spirit. However, the problem is, technology isn't just about spirit and ambition. Japan's technological development started earlier than China's, and they are superior to us in technological research and development. This is an objective fact that must be acknowledged."
Master Zhou consoled Chen Feng.
"Master Zhou, catching up with Japanese technology is difficult, but it doesn't mean it's impossible."
"Chen Feng, I truly understand your feelings. However, I still don't recommend you research high-tech welding with added magnesium element. To be honest, I spent a full six months researching this, experimenting countless times, and it all ended in vain. Even as an experienced old technician, it was like this. For you, a common laborer who just learned welding techniques, it would be even more futile. Listen to me, put your talent to practical use, and your future will be boundless."
Master Zhou persuaded him patiently.
"It's okay, Master Zhou, I'll just give it a try. If it really doesn't work, I won't get stuck on it. Honestly, after you told me about the properties of magnesium element and shared your half-year of experimental experience, I feel like I have a direction for developing high-tech welding with added magnesium element."
Chen Feng replied calmly.
Upon hearing this, Master Zhou stopped trying to dissuade him.
Fine, let's give it a shot. If it succeeds, won't it break the Japanese technological blockade? It could also help Hongfeng Electronics Factory develop rapidly.
Thus, Master Zhou generously gave Chen Feng all his welding experiment notes from over the years, and at the same time, lent him his best welding gun.
Although Chen Feng was not a welding master, he felt that this young man had unlimited potential and could create miracles.
Chen Feng, without a word, immediately threw himself into the experiment.
It's unclear whether Master Zhou's thick notebook of experimental notes was powerful, or if Chen Feng's talent in science was outstanding.
In any case, Chen Feng cracked the high-tech welding with added magnesium element, which Master Zhou had failed to develop for half a year, in just one week.
It is said that the Japanese expert team also took a full three months at the time.
"It's successful?"
Master Zhou looked at Chen Feng in disbelief.
In just one week, he cracked the incredibly difficult high-tech welding with added magnesium element? Was this something a human could do?
Could Chen Feng be talking nonsense?
