1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 32: Armor Stacking Preparation

The next morning.

I had breakfast with my parents at the old house.

I reminded my younger sister and asked the seven people preparing for the exam to review on their own according to the plan. I had to go out for something important and go to the agricultural machinery factory in the county.

Then he ran to the dog owner's house in the village and borrowed a bicycle.

He rushed straight to the county agricultural machinery factory.

After tossing and turning all night and thinking deeply, he decided to take the initiative to create some momentum for himself.

So he set his sights on the county's Red Star Agricultural Machinery Factory's sister unit, the 1387 Military Factory, which was low-key and hidden deep in the Qinling Mountains. He planned to demonstrate his unique and advanced military design concepts in the design and invention of military products.

When he arrived at the agricultural machinery factory, Director Wang was surprised to hear that he was coming and hurried out to greet him.

"Mr. Lu, is there any emergency at home?"

Director Wang thought that something urgent had happened in the Lu family, and Lu Yifan came to the factory to call his second brother home.

After all, he had just gone to Renhe Village in person yesterday. If there was anything else, Lu Yifan should have told him yesterday.

"Ah? At home, nothing urgent happened... Hey, Director Wang, what are you thinking about? I'm not here to call my second brother..."

"That's good, that's good!"

Director Wang became more and more confused, and was still wondering in his heart, could it be that he went to hand over the translation materials yesterday and didn't pay for his services, so he came to the door specially?

You shouldn't be so obsessed with money...

He was complaining in his heart, wondering how he would deal with it if he really brought this up.

After all, this matter is hard to explain.

If it were to get out, the impact would be extremely bad...

Lu Yifan took out a few pages of paper from his pocket and handed them to Director Wang. "What? I suddenly had an idea and designed a multifunctional cold weapon for the army. Director, please give it to me for advice."

"What?!"

Director Wang was completely confused:

Sudden idea?

Designed a multifunctional cold weapon for use by the troops?
What play is this that is being sung out of nowhere?

I took the paper, opened it and took a few glances. It was a very professional three-view drawing of the workpiece engineering structure. Judging from the structural shape, is this a military shovel?

"Engineer Lu, you designed a military shovel?"

"Ha, I see!"

"Not bad, not bad. It is a multifunctional composite military shovel that combines the functions of earthwork, carpentry, fitter, ruler, bulletproof deck, melee machete, armor-piercing thrust, and temporary frying pan for outdoor camping. It is a brand-new cold weapon that is essential for light infantry..."

Of course Lu Yifan would not reveal a single thing. He just copied the most famous military shovel in the military industry in later generations.

Listen to Lu Yifan’s exaggerated introduction.

Director Wang raised his eyebrows from time to time, following the composition, and trying hard to imagine in his mind what a military shovel should look like.

You know what, this idea is really good.

One tool can expand seven or eight complex functions at the same time.

Equipping soldiers with such equipment can indeed be regarded as a multifunctional cold weapon product with advanced design.

I'm just saying that the army probably has no interest in purchasing such a "fancy" military shovel!

Moreover, the more complex the function, the higher the manufacturing cost. The steel used is probably not even of ordinary material and cannot support its unique structure, so it can be easily damaged...

"Engineer Lu, your design is a good idea, but to be honest, it's too flashy for our frontline soldiers. How about this, I call the military representative stationed in the factory to come and talk to you again..."

Director Wang still didn't understand Lu Yifan's intention of coming here out of nowhere to invent something.

Judging from the design drawings alone, such a multifunctional military shovel is indeed novel and unique, and can be called ingenious.

However, when designing and manufacturing products, we must take reality into consideration.

It is absolutely impossible for the army to spend two or three times more money to equip itself with such flashy and impractical equipment.

Lu Yifan waved his hand.

"Director Wang, you are wrong. The starting point of my design of this thing is not for our front-line soldiers to use. I have to thank you for coming to my house yesterday to translate the foreign language materials. Suddenly, I had a burst of inspiration and came up with this idea. After you left, I almost didn't sleep all night. I couldn't help but think, why can only foreigners design products and sell them to us at high prices? Why can't we do the opposite, and our company, relying on our excellent product design and production quality, take good products abroad to sell. We go to help the country earn foreign exchange, and earn a lot of foreign exchange back home. Director Wang, just tell me, how exciting it would be..."

“Earn foreign exchange?!”

In a long paragraph of speech.

Director Wang only grasped three key words.

After listening to Lu Yifan's original intention in designing this multifunctional military shovel, I found out that it was to help the factory earn foreign exchange in overseas markets.

He immediately became alert and began to look through the design drawings more carefully.

But I read it carefully several times.

He hesitated again.
"Engineer Lu, there is nothing wrong with your idea, but the key point is that the cost of producing such a military shovel seems to be very exaggerated. At the very least, where can we get the special steel to make this multifunctional composite military shovel? Obviously, with such a design and structure, ordinary steel can't withstand the wear and tear after the finished product is used..."

Lu Yifan grinned.
"So, as long as we can solve the cost problem and the problem of the use of special steel materials, Director Wang, do you think that we can make products and earn foreign exchange?"

Director Wang was stunned. "Hmm? Engineer Lu, do you have a way to solve the supply of special steel? But how is this possible..."

"Ha, Director Wang, what are you thinking? I don't have the ability to solve the supply of special steel materials. Besides, the special steel we have now is not enough to build tanks and cannons. How can I waste it on a military shovel?"

"Then Mr. Lu, what are you doing...?"

"In the foreign language materials provided by the foreign devils, some of the content involves the alloy composition of special parts. Although the foreign devils did not give the specific ratio of alloy material elements, the principle of fusion casting and regeneration of alloy materials should be universal. So what I mean is, if our factory is really willing, why don't we overcome difficulties on our own and do some independent research on innovation? If we really synthesize such special composite steel and make such a multifunctional military shovel, what a great contribution to the country, what do you think?"

Director Wang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

What does it mean that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger?

I just saw the element composition table of alloy materials in the foreign language materials.

Do we have to try to develop a new special composite steel in a whimsical way?
A seven or eight-year-old kid memorized the Chinese characters "一二三" on the first day of school and thought he had mastered the writing of all numbers and could enter university next year?!
If you want to pour cold water on someone, don't let your imagination run wild.

He met Lu Yifan's sincere and eager gaze.

Then I thought of this great talent who, with only the cultural foundation of a junior high school graduate, was able to win the top spot in the Qinxi Province College Entrance Examination in science, and could translate and interpret foreign language materials as easily as a picture book.

So, give it a try?!

What if it really gets done? !

If it really works, it will earn foreign exchange for the country! ~~
