Chapter 75

After Engineer Li brought the drawing tools, Colonel Zhang handed them one by one to Hu Hao, saying, "Erlengzi, draw well this time, do a good job, I’m begging you!"

"Okay, fine!" Hu Hao replied. Saying this, the three of them went out. Factory Manager Wang said to the two soldiers guarding his office door, "Without my order, no one is to enter and disturb him. Also, if he needs anything, you must try to get it for him. If you can’t, come to me!"

"Yes," the two soldiers replied.

Once they saw them leave, Erlengzi hit his head on the table, muttering, "Bragging, now look what you’ve done, got yourself into this mess! Well, I’d better start thinking about the old machine tools. I know the principles, but how to get each part right is another matter. Besides drawing maps, I only know how to draw little stick figures. When have I ever drawn such professional blueprints!"

Hu Hao lay on the table for a while, then spread out a sheet of white paper, held a pen in his hand, and stood there with a large wooden ruler, looking every bit the engineer. But after standing there for a while, he saw no progress and gave up after two minutes, throwing the ruler and pen onto the desk.

"Can’t draw, might as well sleep. It’s time to sleep!" Hu Hao said as he lay down on the table.

Soon, his snoring was so loud that it left the two guards outside speechless. "This is too much, sleeping in the factory manager’s office and snoring!" However, the two guards didn’t plan to go in. After all, they were just on guard duty, and it wasn’t their business.

He slept until around 3 PM, when Hu Hao woke up groggily. Looking at his watch, he was startled and immediately stood up. He looked around and saw that the others were not there, which was a relief. Then he looked at the blank sheet of paper and felt troubled. "This is really a trap! What can I do? I have to jump in, or my brother will really beat me. My brother won’t let this go easily."

Hu Hao thought about it, picked up the pen and ruler, and started to draw based on the machine tools he had seen before. He couldn’t just copy them, as they wouldn’t be able to be made here. He decided to start with the first basic machine tool. Once the first one was made, they could gradually produce more precise ones.

Surprisingly, once Hu Hao started drawing, he couldn’t stop. He slowly began to construct the design of the first-generation machine tool, which he named himself. As he drew, he gradually completed the entire blueprint of the machine tool.

"Looks like I have the potential to be an engineer. I managed to draw such a difficult blueprint. I’ll have another skill to make a living in the future," Hu Hao said to himself, admiring his work.

At that moment, the door opened, and Factory Manager Wang and the others came in. Seeing Hu Hao looking at the blueprint, Engineer Li rushed to Hu Hao’s side to see it. But once he saw the blueprint, he was stunned.

Colonel Zhang and Factory Manager Wang also hurried over to look at Hu Hao’s drawing. Colonel Zhang and Factory Manager Wang couldn’t understand it and didn’t know how it looked.

"Erlengzi, are you done?" Colonel Zhang asked tentatively.

"Yes, ha ha, Brother, I found out I have the potential to be an engineer. I’ll have another skill to make a living!" Hu Hao said.

"Good, good, it’s great that you finished it!" Colonel Zhang said excitedly.

"Great, Erlengzi, if we can make it, it will be even better, fantastic!" Factory Manager Wang was also very pleased.

"What the hell, what did you draw? This is a machine tool blueprint? You’re tricking us, how are we supposed to make it!" Engineer Li jumped up and shouted.

"Shut up, this is a machine tool blueprint. Who am I tricking? Damn it, how is this not a machine tool blueprint? Tell me where it’s not a mechanical drawing!" Hu Hao was very unhappy, having spent several hours on it. He couldn’t stand the lack of respect for his work!

"What’s going on, Li, explain it to us. We don’t understand, and we don’t know how it looks!" Colonel Zhang said.

"This is not a mechanical drawing at all. What is this!" Engineer Li said, half laughing and half crying.

"Shut up, you idiot, tell me where it’s not a mechanical drawing!" Hu Hao said angrily, staring at Engineer Li. If he didn’t explain, Hu Hao was ready to get physical!

"Erlengzi, you can’t draw a blueprint like this. Even a house needs dimensions and a 3D view, and floor plans. Look at your blueprint, there’s not a single dimension marked. Are you trying to trick us?" Engineer Li pointed to the blueprint, and Colonel Zhang quickly took it to look.

Sure enough, it was just a rough outline of a machine, with no words or numbers. Factory Manager Wang also leaned in. "Erlengzi, I may not know many words, but I know numbers. I’ve seen blueprints before, and they have lots of numbers. Why doesn’t your blueprint have any numbers?" Factory Manager Wang asked.

Before Hu Hao could respond, Colonel Zhang said, "Brat, what did you draw? How are we supposed to make it?"

"Ah! You need dimensions? I don’t know that. I just drew what was in my head. I don’t know what the dimensions are!" Hu Hao was at a loss, as he really didn’t know.

Engineer Li quickly took the blueprint and studied it, becoming more and more excited. His hands started to tremble, leaving Colonel Zhang and the others completely baffled.

"Li, what’s wrong with you!" Factory Manager Wang asked, and Hu Hao was also puzzled. Why was this guy acting so strange, and what was so special about his blueprint?

"Factory Manager Wang, Colonel Zhang, this is a real machine tool blueprint. We can make it. We just need to determine the dimensions of each part. It’s a machine tool, a real machine tool!" Engineer Li said, tears streaming down his face.

"What did you say? It’s a real machine tool blueprint? Speak up!" Factory Manager Wang tightly grabbed Engineer Li’s arms and shouted.

This news was too exciting. They had thought Hu Hao was just bluffing, and the blueprint wasn’t a machine tool. Now, it was a real machine tool blueprint, and they could make it. This was enough to give anyone a heart attack.

"You’re crazy! Thinking about machine tool blueprints has driven you mad. One moment you can make it, the next you can’t. One moment you’re crying, the next you’re laughing. What’s going on?" Hu Hao was also confused.

PS: Dear readers, I hope to update this novel with more chapters every day, but this novel is much harder to write than "Super University President." I spend every night thinking about the plot and how to incorporate funny scenes to make the story as coherent as possible. Even though I want to include all the funny scenes in my head, I can’t make every chapter that funny. I need to lay the groundwork for future plots to make the story richer.

Some people say these two chapters are a bit watered down, but they are not. The story needs such arrangements to continue. I hope you can rest assured that I am writing this novel with great care, trying to keep the story engaging.

Even if my updates for "Super University President" drop to 4,000 words a day, I won’t update this novel with 10,000 words a day. It’s not that I can’t type that much, but I want this novel to be enjoyable for everyone, with each chapter having its own significance.

Ugly Ox thanks everyone for your support! Writing two novels at the same time is exhausting, and your support is the driving force for me to continue!
