C72 (2/2)

When the carriage was halfway done, it looked as thin as a cow's hair. No, even thinner than cow hair was being drawn out from the tip of the blade. Professor Wang had already believed that it was more than half of it. Suppressing his excitement, Professor Wang waited for the blade to finish moving. After the retracting blade was switched off, he took out the micrometer and measured it in detail.

Because of his excitement, the micrometer did not come to the right place even once every two or three times. Even when Guo Tailai wanted to help, he was stopped by him, and had to meticulously measure every single direction even though he was in the right place. When he looked at the readings, Professor Wang opened his eyes wide with an expression of disbelief.

If this was a high precision numerical control machine tool, then Professor Wang wouldn't find it strange that it could reach this level of precision, but it had to be a half manual, half automatic mechanical lathe! Everything was done through the linkage of mechanical. Even the electric motor relied on the change in voltage to change the speed of rotation rather than the control of the microchip. God! How was this possible?

If it was an amateur, to think that this lathe would be able to achieve such an accuracy, it would only make an ”oh” sound. Then, it would exclaim, ”Awesome, everything is over.”

However, the Professor Wang was an absolute insider. The skill content displayed by this mechanical lathe was simply unimaginable, making people unable to describe how amazing it was.

Just that gear box alone, with so many gear combinations, when used to transmit power it did not cause any vibration that was higher than millimeters, which was unimaginable. But the problem was, when manually controlling a ruler to strike the knife, it was actually able to be as accurate as a micron, which was something a human could do.

To put it bluntly, if the lathe was removed completely and was installed by another person, its accuracy would be ten times worse. At least a slight movement of one micron, which was driven by the four gears combined, could instantly kill any assembly of Master that Professor Wang knew, even a Old Liu would not be able to do so.

What was even more exaggerated was that the lathe was actually made and assembled from head to toe by the Guo Pang himself. This showed the foundation of Guo Tailai's Master skills in designing, manufacturing and assembling. Even if it was the Professor Wang himself, who knew if he could design such a precise lathe based on the highest level of processing accuracy, it was just this and nothing more.

From the moment he confirmed the accuracy of the lathe, Professor Wang knew that he had definitely picked up a huge bargain. Last year, he immediately decided to accept Guo Tailai as a graduate student. With Guo Tailai here, many fine designs in his mind could be completed.

In the past, he was worried about being able to design but not being able to create it. It seemed that he would have to consider how to optimize the design in the future in order to live up to his craftsmanship. Such a craft, in the future the country's high precision numerical control will develop to what height?
