Scholars in the courtyard

Li Junming packed up the drawings, then looked up at the people around him and explained them carefully.

"Actually, this thing is very simple and not as complicated as everyone thinks."

"This is a rotatable furnace. It is actually like a wooden barrel. It is fixed at both ends. Pull the bottom and tilt it to the side to let the molten steel flow out."

"This is a metal pipe that is connected to oxygen. They pour it directly from here."

"Finally, considering safety issues, I changed the design drawings and semi-embedded the main body of the boiler, which can reduce losses even if an accident occurs."

What Li Junming said was clear and logical, and people around him were constantly thinking about it in their minds.

Until Li Junming finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but sigh.

"Look, our Comrade Li Junming has directly solved more than half of the problems and difficulties discussed previously."

"This shows that you still need to find the right person."

Everyone around him laughed and looked at Li Junming with admiration.

"Now that we have an organizational map and a solution, comrades, there is nothing to hesitate about."

Guan Zhiyong, Zhang Hongxian and others took the drawings and looked at them again and again.

Yang Xiaotao solemnly said to Li Junming, "Comrade Li Junming, on behalf of Hongxing Machinery Factory and Hongxing Steel Factory, I solemnly invite you to join the oxygen top-blown converter project as a technical consultant."

"Thank you, thank you. I am willing, I am willing to join."

Li Junming said excitedly, not only could he realize his ambition, but more importantly, with this job, his family's financial difficulties could be improved.

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao led everyone to the workshop.

Although he had the drawings, Yang Xiaotao didn't think he could definitely make it.

After all, cases like this happen from time to time, and there is still something waiting for him in Jinling in the south.

So at the dinner table, Yang Xiaotao mentioned that first make a model and test it on a small scale. If it succeeds, then scale it up.

If it fails, sum up the experience and provide data for the next test.

Everyone thought it made sense, and at this moment Li Junming came up with a solution, "Mr. Yang, actually we don't need to rebuild the boiler."

"When I was with Teacher An before, we discussed that we can test it with a small converter with side air blowing, as long as the input of oxygen is ensured."

Li Junming's words made the people around him brighten up.

Especially Li Lei and Zhang Hongxian. They were familiar with the situation in the steel plant and understood the working principle of the converter. They immediately nodded, "We have such a furnace in our workshop. It can be used with slight modifications."

"Yes, this stove is not big, just for experiments."

So, after dinner, everyone hurriedly came here to check the situation.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao was like an outsider, watching Li Junming and the others making gestures in front of the stove, and clapping from time to time.

"Mr. Yang, this person must stay."

Guan Zhiyong liked Li Junming very much. If this stove is built, it will definitely be a great help to the steel factory.

"Then it's up to you."

"The more talents of this kind, the better."

"Of course, in principle, you must first have a clean life experience, and this must be stuck."

Guan Zhiyong smiled, he knew this would happen.

"I heard that many of his colleagues are at home, you can give it a try."

"There is also his teacher An, who is definitely a great talent. It would be best to invite him together."

"By then, the R\u0026D Department of the Machinery Factory will be worthy of its name."

Guan Zhiyong was speechless after listening to Yang Xiaotao's words. He only wanted one person, so he wanted to catch them all in one go.

"good."

However, Guan Zhiyong doesn't care who the talent is, whether there are many or not, he just agrees first.

The people in front discussed it for a while, and then came back in a hurry, "Mr. Yang, factory director, we just saw that this small air side-blown converter can be transformed into an oxygen top-blown converter."

Zhang Hongxian said excitedly. He also wanted to see with his own eyes whether this plan would work.

"Since that's okay, director, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I promise to complete the task."

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao agreed and that work would start soon, Li Junming was a little eager to try it, but also a little unbelievable.

They had lost count of how many reports they had made with Teacher An, how many times they had made judgments, and how many times they had approached leaders.

Because too many people have concerns and too many people are not optimistic about this technology, even if they have thought of everything they can think of and are ready for everything.

Unfortunately, just when things turned around and they finally succeeded, they encountered a difficult three years. At that time, their dreams could not be realized, the theories they believed in were not accepted, and their passion could not be used.

But now, he just got the news from his classmates and came here with a heart to try.

I met the people here, and then, it was done?

There is no doubt that even the leaders here are more optimistic about this technology than they are.

This, he had some doubts about, was it going too smoothly.

"Yang, Mr. Yang, have you really thought about it?"

Li Junming asked seriously.

Yang Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, then nodded affirmatively, "Of course, why else would I invite you here?"

"But, this technology has never been done before"

"Comrade Li Junming!"

Before Li Junming could finish speaking, Yang Xiaotao reached out to interrupt him, "As a consultant, what you have to do now is to lead your comrades to complete this task."

"As for the rest, you don't need to use up your brain cells."

"Understand?"

Li Junming looked at Yang Xiaotao's serious look and immediately understood that with such a leader, he could just do his work.

"Mr. Yang, I understand."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, "Then, I'll wait for your good news."

"Um!"

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao and others took Li Junming back to Sijiu City to talk to his family.

In the days to come, he will go to work in a steel factory.

At night, Li Junming returned home and sat at the table, paper and pen in hand, feeling excited.

"Dear Teacher An: The student wrote this letter with excitement."

"Here, I will work with them to practice this technology."

"Here, I have received support and respect that I have never had before."

"Mr. Yang is not very old. I heard people say he is less than thirty, and he is also an engineer. I know he has done a lot of things."

"He has a firm strength in him, as if he can always make people do what he believes in."

"I think he is my Bole"

"Finally, Teacher An, I wish the students success. At that time, the students will tell you the good news and tell everyone that what you said is correct and what you practice is correct."

"Your student, Li Junming!"

After writing a letter, Li Junming took out the letter paper again.

"Brother Wang, I look forward to your joining."

"Qiongqiong. I'm Junming. I haven't seen you for a year. How are you? I'm waiting for you here. Let's cheer for our dreams together."

The next day, Sunday.

Li Junming got up early, put all the letters he wrote last night into the mailbox, then got on the bus and headed to the Red Star Steel Plant. What awaited him was a challenge.

But he is confident.

Complete challenges that have never been seen before in this country.

Northwest, farm.

As dawn rose, Zhuangzi was already crowded with people.

"Comrades, let us warmly welcome the comrades from the Red Star Machinery Factory and welcome them."

bang bang bang bang

Wang Huzi stood nearby and took the lead in applauding, with a smile on his face.

He originally came to the farm to check the corn harvest, but he received news from Secretary Qian that a team from the Red Star Machinery Factory had arrived.

He had heard about this matter a long time ago and also knew the situation of the Red Star Machinery Factory.

After all, the Red Star Tractor was the masterpiece of the previous steel rolling mill, but this time, the other party turned out to be a machinery factory. As the scale expanded, more products were launched.

Thinking about what Secretary Qian had told him, Wang Huzi was a little eager to give it a try.

Because of the mushroom eggs, the few guys around who were ready to make moves felt more at ease.

Coupled with the food dilemma that the alliance encountered a while ago, the relationship with the domestic food trade has eased the relationship between the two parties.

Coupled with the outbreak of internal conflicts in the Northern Alliance, they have no time to take care of this side, which has led to an increase in exchanges between the franchised countries and the country.

Secretary Qian wants to take advantage of this opportunity to expand sales. After all, the profits of pressure cookers have been established and the market is becoming saturated.

So if you want to expand, you need new products.

When he learned that the machinery factory produced diesel tractors, Secretary Qian paid attention.

For this reason, I also contacted people from the Ministry of Commerce, hoping to use the channels left by the pressure cooker to further communicate.

People from the Ministry of Commerce also showed strong interest in this and wanted to take this opportunity to see whether the new domestic products were competitive.

Therefore, Wang Huzi came with a mission this time.

After Wang Huzi said this, people in the surrounding farms clapped their hands and looked at the more than thirty people in the field. They were picked up by the convoy last night, and everyone knew that they were here to modify the tractor.

For them, steam tractors are already very good, and they play a much better role in their production than those beasts of cattle and horses.

It's such a good thing, but it needs to be improved?

How good would the tractor be after the refit?

"Brother Mazi, have you seen this tractor that uses oil? Does it drink oil?"

As Mazi clapped her hands, the young man beside her asked.

It was already unbelievable to them that a steam tractor drank water and coal, and now there was another one drinking oil, which completely subverted their ordinary concepts.

Several people Mazi received last night nodded after hearing this, "Yes, they are the ones who drink oil!"

"Is it the same as the chief's jeep?"

"No, it's different!"

This time it was driver Xiao Wu who answered. He knew clearly that the jeep contained gasoline.

“The jeep is petrol and the one in this car is diesel, they are different!”

The few people around didn’t know what gasoline or diesel it was, but they knew it was very unusual.

“I wonder if vegetable oil is okay!”

"It should be okay, it's all oil."

"Stop talking and listen carefully."

The applause stopped and everyone looked forward. In front of Wang Huzi was the team led by Che Wenwei. They took the train and the car this time and finally arrived last night.

Now he is leading people to meet with everyone.

A total of 30 skilled workers came this time, and they also brought 500 Red Star diesel engines.

Since the merger of the auto repair shop and the machine repair shop to form the Red Star Machine Repair Shop, Che Wenwei has been promoted to technical director, and he is also the second person in the former group after Wang Fa.

Leading the team to the northwest this time is also his first mission.

So I am very dedicated and strive to complete the task.

And their task is to refit the Red Star tractor here.

Of course, this is only the first batch. With the current number of tractors in northwest farms, it is best to have 2,000 tractors. The fact that they can bring 500 engines this time is specifically requested by Yang Xiaotao.

This journey has made these men realize what it means to travel far away, and what it means to be thousands of miles apart.

However, after arriving here, looking at the corn stalks piled up on the roadside and the piles of corn on the farm, everyone's hearts became calm.

It was the first time that Che Wenwei saw an official as big as Wang Huzi, and he was somewhat excited when he spoke.

"Thank you leaders and comrades for the welcome."

"We are here for one purpose, to ensure that every tractor is successfully refitted and to protect agricultural production."

"good!"

There was a roar of applause from everyone around, and then everyone made arrangements on the spot.
