Scholars in the courtyard

Hearing An Zhongsheng's emotion, Yang Xiaotao was equally helpless.

Now, the more we know about domestic basic industries, the more we feel helpless about the lack of basic modules.

Yang Xiaotao also realized how much it would help domestic industrial development during the honeymoon period with the alliance.

Unfortunately, as An Zhongsheng said, there is no free lunch in the world, and falling into the trap often means paying a price on the other side.

"In other words, is it impossible to produce liquid oxygen in China? What should we do?" Guan Zhiyong was a little anxious.

Yang Xiaotao had just mentioned the "Gemini Project" to him, which made him feel excited, and the people around him were also excited.

Their steel factory had been in decline for so long, and finally they were waiting for an opportunity to prove themselves.

But who would have thought that it would die before it even started?

An Zhongsheng continued to shake his head, "I don't know the domestic situation. However, liquid oxygen cannot be produced. Lin'an has developed equipment to produce oxygen a few years ago, and the production volume per hour is quite a lot."

"If that doesn't work, we can just introduce two oxygen concentrators."

An Zhongsheng said, Guan Zhiyong and others breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they can continue to work.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao looked at the workshop that was still under construction in front of him, "The car must go its own way before reaching the mountain. Let's watch it first."

"There is no way, just move forward and find a way." After saying that, he looked at everyone, "Isn't there just no way? We can make machines, so why are we afraid of this problem?"

"It's better if it's available domestically. We'll introduce it directly. If it's not available domestically, then we'll be the first to try it."

Yang Xiaotao spoke eloquently, and his generous words dispelled everyone's worries.

Snap, snap, snap.

There was applause from all around, and An Zhongsheng looked at Yang Xiaotao and nodded. There was a shadow of himself in this man.

After another discussion, Yang Xiaotao asked An Zhongsheng to take charge of related work, especially the aerobic gun.

The design drawing is produced by the steel factory, and the machine factory is responsible for how to make it and what materials are used to make it, and strive to complete it as soon as possible.

An Zhongsheng felt his shoulders were heavy due to the heavy responsibility. He was a little uncomfortable with shouldering the heavy burden when he first arrived. At the same time, the fire in his heart that was about to be extinguished started to burn again.

After finishing speaking, Yang Xiaotao led An Zhongsheng to the cafeteria to wash away his dust.

After this meal, An Zhongsheng will officially take up his post and become a member of the Red Star Steel Plant.

And Yang Xiaotao also wanted to go back and ask about liquid oxygen.

Jinling, machine tool factory.

After Chen Bin and Zhang Guan got off the train, they took a car sent by the machine tool factory and took them all the way to the factory.

Here, we received a warm welcome led by Director Huang.

Although the smile on the other party's face was a bit forced, there were no sarcastic remarks about their arrival.

Apparently after some 'education' from the leader of Shangji, he has mentally accepted the reality.

However, the two of them could feel that the current machine tool factory was on fire, waiting for an opportunity to spread the fire.

The two of them knew that this trip was not easy, and they felt equally uneasy. They came here to represent the Red Star Machinery Factory. If they could not complete the task, they would be embarrassed. But if they damaged the reputation of the Red Star Machinery Factory, they would not be able to explain it when they went back.

They didn't have Yang Xiaotao's skills, so they acted very reserved when greeted by everyone.

Both parties met in this calm atmosphere, not much was said, and the exchanges were limited to talk about local customs and customs.

The two of them lived in a dormitory under the arrangement of the factory and had good food and accommodation.

In particular, the factory took care of the two of them and allowed the canteen to prepare a lot of local snacks from Jinling, so that the two of them completed the task of enjoying the delicious food and explaining it in advance.

However, the two of them were in no mood to eat and were focused on the next task.

The next day, the two men, who had rested, were led by the technical director of the machine tool factory to the workshop. As they walked along the workshop, they saw many workers in work clothes looking at them, some coldly, some unwillingly, and even some. There are expectations. As for what to expect, the two of them know it well.

When they came to the workshop, they saw two semi-finished machine tools in the middle at a glance. With their understanding of Venus, they recognized that these two machines were Venus that could not be installed.

"Gong Chen, Gong Zhang, let's start as soon as possible!"

There were no other leaders on site. The technical director, Director Sun, presided over the work, and a group of workers led by a master named Zhu helped.

The two of them didn't say anything.

Biyi, the factory director won't be able to help with this kind of thing, and might even cause trouble.

"Okay, let's take a look first."

Chen Bin said, as an engineer, I have traveled a lot in the past and have seen many things, so I naturally have a set of procedures in mind.

Director Sun nodded and let the place go. He also wanted to see what the two people sent from the machinery factory were capable of.

Chen Bin and Zhang Guanyu came to the venue and began to look at the two machine tools.

If most of the machine tools are installed and then they don’t continue, there must be something wrong.

"Director Sun, what's wrong with this machine tool?"

Chen Bin asked, pointing to the desk in front of him.

Director Sun stepped forward and gave the prepared speech.

"This is the specific situation. We made the parts strictly according to the requirements on the drawings, but the machine tool that was finally assembled was unable to operate, and there were even accidents of parts being burned out."

Director Sun briefly explained the situation, and Chen and Zhang looked at each other, which was basically consistent with the information they received.

"Show me the drawings."

Zhang Guanyu spoke, and someone immediately brought the drawings up. Then Zhang Guanyu came to the side and began to check the drawings.

He kept the design structure and parameters of Daystar firmly in mind.

Seeing this, Chen Bin continued to check the machine tool.

After looking at the two machine tools for a while, he identified one of them and said, "Director Sun, please have this machine completely dismantled."

Director Sun was stunned and then understood. He asked Lao Zhu to bring someone to help and started to dismantle the machine.

At noon, Zhang Guanyu put away the drawings and said, "Old Chen, there is nothing wrong with the drawings."

Director Sun beside him glanced at Zhang Guanyu but said nothing.

Both of them are technical directors and are confident in the professional work of checking drawings.

Therefore, Zhang Guanyu’s rhetoric is still very convincing.

Chen Bin looked at the dismantled functional parts on the ground and said, "We'll reinstall them in the afternoon."

"good!"

After lunch, the two discussed it and went to the workshop to continue working.

Throughout the afternoon, they checked all the components. It was not until the evening that the two of them finished checking and confirmed that all the components met the design requirements before leaving.

In the evening, Factory Manager Huang held a small meeting in the conference room. The participants were all people who were in the factory, and they mainly asked about the progress.

When he learned that the two would officially assemble it tomorrow, Director Huang decided to take people to the site to check it out.

He also wanted to see what was the reason why the machine tool factory was so embarrassed.

The next day, the number of people in the workshop increased significantly. Not only did the factory director and deputy director come, but the number of workers also increased several times. A group of people gathered around and blocked the place tightly.

Chen and Zhang were inevitably a little nervous being looked at by so many people, but fortunately they had both seen the world before, and they gradually felt familiar as they looked at the people all over the floor.

People around saw that the two were still discussing where they were, and many people were whispering and saying unpleasant things.

But he was quickly stopped.

The other party and the parts they produced themselves wanted to prove that their shooting was correct and that the people who assembled it were not.

Therefore, they don't want the other party to take advantage of it and say that it failed due to on-site interference.

As a result, there were more and more people, but the surroundings were always quiet.

"Old Chen, I'll do it, and you'll give me guidance."

Zhang Guanyu looked at the machine tool parts on the floor and spoke proactively. He could see that there were so many people here today, including the leaders of the machine tool factory, and their purpose was self-evident.

"Okay, let's take our time and just do it in the usual way. There will be no problem."

Chen Bin nodded. He was at a disadvantage due to his age. This kind of assembly was not easy.

"Then start first and set it up."

"Um!"

Immediately, the two began to work.

The machine tool man watched the two men pick up the parts, take a look at them, and then ask people to help move them to other places. Sometimes two parts that were clearly close to each other had to be moved to another place, and some were moved all the way over, and the on-site personnel were responsible for them. The people carrying it were impatient.

However, at the beginning, everyone was still scratching their heads and didn't understand why Haohao had to spread it out so big. It was surrounded by parts, and it was even difficult to get down.

But as the two people continued to coordinate, some people began to see the door, and they moved closer to watch carefully.

Huang Shengli and Cai Jingwu looked at each other solemnly.

The other party is knowledgeable and interesting.

After a long time, Zhang Guanyu checked again and again and felt that there was no problem, so he nodded to Chen Bin.

Just when the two of them were moving their hands and feet, drinking water, and starting to do something.

Sijiucheng, Machinery Factory.

Yang Xiaotao came to Liu Huaimin's office.

"You're looking for a factory about liquid oxygen. I've asked you about it."

Yang Xiaotao was refreshed. Later, Liu Huaimin told Yang Xiaotao the news from his superiors.

"As for the production of liquid oxygen, there are indeed factories in China that have already produced it."

"However, don't be too happy too early. These liquid oxygens are owned by their owners."

Liu Huaimin said calmly, but Yang Xiaotao was a little anxious, "Whose is it, can you mix it up, even if it's divided into parts?"

Yang Xiaotao heard that there was a lot of energy in the country, but it was better to have it than to fumble around in the dark.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Liu Huaimin snorted, making him realize that things seemed not simple.

"What's wrong? Not even a bit?"

Liu Huaimin didn't say anything and just handed over a report on the table.

Yang Xiaotao saw clearly the words at the top, Military 586 Factory.

Suddenly, there was an ominous premonition.

"It can't be."

He knew that it would be difficult to deal with some things if they were related to the word "military".

And once some factories have a code name, it is more difficult to deal with than the people in the logistics department.

Liu Huaimin picked up the cup and took a sip, "This factory was originally a fertilizer factory. Later, when Hida came to China, it used liquid oxygen as fuel. Later, for some reason, the fertilizer factory changed its name and became a factory specializing in supplying liquid oxygen. .”

"It's the kind where you turn in whatever you produce. If you want it, it's a bit of a dream."

Yang Xiaotao was disappointed when he heard this, but then asked, "Is this the only one?"

"Yes, this is the only one in the country that is capable."

Liu Huaimin affirmed that this was the news given to him by Mr. He thought so too.

"There is only one liquid oxygen facility, and it is not open to the public."

"However, there will be equipment for manufacturing oxygen. If necessary, we can commission the manufacturing."

Liu Huaimin tried to suggest, but Yang Xiaotao didn't listen at all. He just thought about it for a moment, "Where is their factory? Can we go and understand the process?"

Liu Huaimin glanced at Yang Xiaotao and knew that what he just said had fallen on deaf ears.

And listening to what Yang Xiaotao said, it seemed like he was going to 'trouble' again.

"You don't want to do it yourself, do you?"

Liu Huaimin put down the jar and asked seriously.

"Well, it's better to ask for help than to ask for help. If we find their craftsmanship, we can just do it ourselves."

Liu Huaimin did not expect Yang Xiaotao to be so determined. He would rather do it himself than use liquid oxygen, so he had no intention of persuading him.

So he nodded and said, "Their factory is in Jinling."

"Jinling?" Yang Xiaotao's face froze, "After all this going around and around, we still have to go there!
