1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 11 Guest Technical Consultant at the Agricultural Machinery Factory

Lu Yifan took the foreign-language booklet and flipped through it. "Installation, repair and maintenance manual for the new high-precision Utes-50 machine tool imported from Europe? Why, when your factory took over, didn't you provide a Chinese manual for this thing..."

I heard Lu Yifan casually say the name of the product.

And I can really understand it. This is a manual for the repair and maintenance of precision machine tools.

Director Wang was so excited that he rubbed his hands together. He grabbed Lu Yifan's arm.
"Comrade Yifan, you can really understand the contents of this booklet. That's great. You don't know, our factory has begged so many people and used so many connections. We have even asked all the teachers in the county high school, but no one is willing to take on this job. Comrade Yifan, please help our agricultural machinery factory and translate the contents of this technical manual for us..."

Lu Yifan turned the page.

The booklet consists of 50 pages.

A lot of the content, including some mechanical structure knowledge points, were relatively unfamiliar to him.

After all, he was born in the mid-1990s in his previous life.

I've never had the chance to come into contact with such a clumsy, old thing in my life.

So, he can indeed understand the materials, but he needs to translate them into Chinese technical materials that the technicians in the agricultural machinery factory can also understand and hear.

That would require a lot of energy.

At the very least, he had to go to the farm machinery factory, see the real thing with his own eyes, and then talk to the technicians to find out what they called the various parts of the tractor.

Otherwise, even if you take the trouble to translate all the content.

If the technicians still can't understand it, it will be a huge joke.

A little bit, it’s a thankless job!

"Director Wang, you can see that I can't get away at all. This involves the future of seven children. There is less than half a year left before the college entrance examination next summer. Their academic foundation is weak, and I will leave my hometown to register for university after the Spring Festival. I really don't have time to help your factory with this material..."

Director Wang suddenly became anxious.

It was difficult to find someone who could understand the foreign language manual.

If I miss this opportunity again, I will have to make a special trip to the provincial capital to find a professional translator to help me.

The translator in the provincial capital charges a fee...

Uh, charge!

Thinking of this key point, Director Wang quickly adjusted his thoughts, looked around quickly, and when he saw that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said:
"Comrade Yifan, don't worry, our factory won't let your hard work be in vain. We can pay you labor fees as compensation, and our factory can also provide a recruitment quota..."

Oops.

Director Wang is a man of character and knows how to handle things.

It's true that Lu Yifan is facing an extremely embarrassing situation right now, that is, his pockets are as clean as a dog's, and all his belongings added together are not worth much.

He said he was extremely poor.

If I didn't know for sure that going to college in this era doesn't cost tuition, but instead you get an allowance every month.

For him, how to travel to Beijing after the Spring Festival is definitely a headache.

Maybe he would even ask his parents and family for money to get some money for the trip... Seeing Lu Yifan's reaction, Director Wang felt relieved and thought there was a way, so he hurriedly said:

"Comrade Yifan, to be honest, our agricultural machinery factory has finally won the production task, which is to process supporting parts for the Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation. This matter involves the production, design and manufacturing of our domestically produced Y-10 aircraft. You also hope that our domestically produced large civil aviation aircraft can soar in the airspace of our motherland as soon as possible, like those abroad, right?"

"The domestically produced Y-10 aircraft...?"

I heard this string of words that were both familiar and unfamiliar.

Lu Yifan's head suddenly buzzed, and then his heart tightened.

How could he, who was reborn more than 40 years ago, not know about the many painful events that would be brought about in the future by the cancellation and interruption of several extremely regrettable industrial infrastructure projects in the history of large-scale industrial development after the founding of the People's Republic of China?

Domestic aviation large aircraft, domestic electronic semiconductor chip industry, photolithography machine...

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in the 1960s, the country received support from its northern neighbor, the Barbarian Bear Country, in terms of the basic industrial system, and built a complete set of industrial foundations. Back then, it was not just gritted teeth and tightened belts to create the two bombs and one satellite national defense science and technology projects. In the fields of large aircraft, computers, semiconductor electronics industry, lithography machines and other related fields, the development level at that time was not much behind the technological level of Western Europe and the United States.

This is a true story.

Especially the domestically produced Y-10 aircraft project.

It had already successfully completed trial production, and had completed flights over the roof of the world, with continuous flight safety test records exceeding a thousand hours. It seemed that it had reached the critical moment when it could be put into civil aviation.

As a result, some interfering factors emerged.

The main reason was that the lobbying team of Boeing in Judaism was good at using more advanced aviation technology + investment in exchange for market...

The ultimate result was that the Y-10 aircraft, which was regarded as outdated and inferior domestic technology by the emerging civil aviation industry in China, was directly halted and put into storage.

Everything is turning to the bigger, stronger, more beautiful and mature aviation market of Jusa Boeing.

"Comrade Yifan?!"

"Well, Director Wang, I'm listening to you! You mean, this precision machine tool in our factory needs to be installed and debugged, and then it will provide production and supporting services for parts for the Y-10 aircraft project of the Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation. But we are an agricultural machinery factory, shouldn't we produce and repair agricultural machinery products..."

When Director Wang heard that he was curious about this question, he suddenly felt a little proud.

Then the god flew around mysteriously and looked around.

Then he lowered his voice and told Lu Yifan more explosive news.
"Actually, our county agricultural machinery factory, don't just listen to the name, we have a military factory background. This is the core of the three-line defense section of a special era. Large-scale military industrial units, of course, the current production and construction tasks of the military factory are not so hot, as for how our factory got connected with Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation, hehe, isn't it just that the one who is close to the water gets the moon first? Our factory is only about 20 kilometers away from Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation, and I have a good relationship with the factory leadership of Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation, and we can talk to each other..."

When Director Wang mentioned these things, he was obviously a little proud.

It seems that he is quite proud of his connections in the circle.

However, in this day and age, the agricultural machinery factory under his management was able to obtain imported precision machine tools and equipment. This would have been impossible without some connections and influence.

Lu Yifan was interested, and he wanted to see for himself how far the domestic Y-10 aircraft project had progressed.

Besides, he wanted to..., oh! ~~
Forget it now. Do you really think that just because you are the top scorer in the province, you have a say and can influence any key process?!

So, isn’t the future life goal clear now?
At least in the future, I want to grow up to the point where I can shut out the lobbying team of the Jusa Boeing Company...
