Scholars in the courtyard

When Xu Hongsen heard what everyone said, his eyes burst into laughter. He didn't think anyone could do it, unless there was a fixed plan like the workers' sisters said.

On the other side, Director Liu continued walking with Yang Xiaotao, giving detailed introductions to every place he went, including the instruments inside, how to operate them, precautions, etc.

It can be said that the explanation is clear and clear.

Yang Xiaotao also studied hard and recorded more and more things in his notebook.

After a while, the three of them came to a factory area marked "No entry for idlers", which was also the core area of ​​the entire factory.

Yang Xiaotao looked around. There was not much noise around him, but the temperature was colder than the places he had passed before.

"This is the compression zone of liquid oxygen."

"There is an air compressor in the compression area..."

Director Liu did not open the door and enter, but walked aside and took Yang Xiaotao to watch the situation inside through the glass.

Yang Xiaotao could clearly see the layout inside. There were not many things around, except for a machine the size of a punch press in the middle, which was working at the moment.

Not far away there were several female workers, wearing thick clothes, placing the jars one by one.

"The compressor can now only be operated for three hours a day, one and a half hours in the morning and one and a half in the afternoon. The other times are under maintenance. This is also to protect the machine."

Factory Director Liu explained, and then said, "But the task is urgent now, and we are considering opening it to four hours to meet the needs of our superiors."

"However, workers still need to debug this aspect to make sure there will be no problems before it can be implemented."

Factory Director Liu said, but Yang Xiaotao stared at the compressor inside carefully.

Along the way, through Director Liu's description, Yang Xiaotao also had a general understanding of the production process of liquid oxygen.

It is nothing more than collecting oxygen in the air, then using reagents, compression, cooling and other means to remove moisture and carbon dioxide from the air, and then liquefying the oxygen in the air. Although the purity may not meet medical requirements, it definitely meets industrial requirements. need.

Among them, air compression is the core technology.

The machine used is this compressor.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the compressor and kept calculating relevant data in his mind. At the same time, he took out his eyes and started scanning.

Unfortunately, Yang Xiaotao didn't know the structural design of the compressor, and he didn't have any ready-made drawings. After looking at it with his glasses, he felt nothing but loneliness.

But now that he knew the key, Yang Xiaotao naturally wanted to ask clearly.

"Director Liu, do you have the drawings for this compressor?"

Factory Director Liu seemed to have already considered that Yang Xiaotao would ask this question, and quickly shook his head, "No, the instruction manual given by the other party when I purchased the machine only had the names of the general components, and the drawings were not given."

"Moreover, after all these years, that instruction manual has disappeared."

Yang Xiaotao shook his head silently and had no illusions about providing design drawings from abroad.

As for China, when I think of those damaged steel rolling mills that were kept in the warehouse as treasures and dared not dismantle, and those machines on the work line usually did not dare to touch a screw, don't think about these people dismantling and studying them themselves.

However, Yang Xiaotao still asked without giving up, what if someone was as interested as him and took it apart and studied it?

"Do we understand the structure ourselves?"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Factory Manager Liu looked at Yang Xiaotao in surprise. Director Tian, ​​who had been silent on the side, also looked over. He finally understood what Mr. Zhang meant when he warned him. As long as he didn't dismantle the machine, anything would be fine.

Now it seems that this guy is really here to dismantle the machine.

"Director Xiao Yang, do you think we have the right to study such an important machine?"

Factory Director Liu's rhetorical question made Yang Xiaotao open his mouth. Then thinking of the reason, he could only nod helplessly, "You are right, no one can afford this risk."

Factory Director Liu didn't say anything. Director Tian on the side smiled and said, "There is no other way. But if there is an extra one, we can also make a copy."

"It's a pity, we're lucky to have gotten one like this."

Factory Director Liu nodded, "This is the one. We are also taking care of it carefully, for fear of malfunction. If it breaks, no one can afford it."

"Fortunately, everyone has worked hard enough. If this continues, it will not be a problem to use it for another ten or eight years."

Director Liu said affirmatively, his expression full of confidence.

Yang Xiaotao was speechless in his heart. Who could bear to die like this after ten or eight years, with his neck stuck all the time?

Staring at the machines inside, he finally said, "Director Liu, can I go in and take a look?"

"this."

Factory Director Liu looked at Director Tian, ​​who nodded and repeated Mr. Zhang's words, "As long as Director Xiao Yang doesn't dismantle the machine, anything will be fine."

"Take it, I'll make arrangements right away."

After receiving Director Tian's approval, Factory Director Liu walked aside, found two female workers, and started making arrangements.

"Xiao Yang, there are some things that you understand the importance of, so I won't repeat them."

Director Tian quickly explained before Yang Xiaotao went in. Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Don't worry, I'm just going in to take a look. There will be no problem."

While the two were talking, Director Liu was recruiting, and Yang Xiaotao came forward with a notebook.

After dressing up again, Yang Xiaotao entered the factory under the guidance of internal personnel.

Outside the door, when Yang Xiaotao entered the door, Director Liu looked at Director Tian and said, "Director, does the director have any instructions?"

Director Tian nodded, "The chief has been under a lot of pressure recently. He is reaching out everywhere. This is the last effort of the chief."

"So difficult?"

"Well, you don't know. Stimulated by the mushroom eggs, those guys became violent and didn't want to bow their heads in front of others."

"But how easy is it to combine something so important?"

Tian Haipeng shook his head helplessly when he thought of the distress on Mr. Zhang's face from time to time.

"This is the first time for this, and no one has experience with it. It's normal."

Factory Director Liu also sighed, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao who had walked inside, "What is the background of this Factory Director Xiao Yang?"

Although I already knew Yang Xiaotao's information, I still couldn't believe it when I saw him so young today.

Director Tian glanced at Yang Xiaotao, and then told what he knew.

"Did he design the Venus Machine Tool?"

Director Liu frowned and then dispersed.

Director Tian nodded, "It's not a design, it can only be said to be imitation."

Factory Director Liu glanced at Director Tian, ​​with no expression on his face. He just said lightly, "It's not easy to imitate it."

Director Tian smiled and nodded, "So the chief has great expectations for him."

"Really? I hope so."

Director Liu said noncommittally, but his eyes were fixed on Yang Xiaotao in the room.

The two of them didn't say much. In the room, Yang Xiaotao had already come to the compressor, and there were rumbling sounds from around him.

"Comrade, just look here and don't come forward."

Just as Yang Xiaotao was about to approach, he was stopped by a female worker on the side. There was no smile on her face, it was very ordinary.

"fine!"

Yang Xiaotao ignored the other party's stop and walked straight to it. The two female workers behind him frowned when they saw it. They had received instructions from the factory director not to get close to the machine.

"Comrade, same~~"

Two people shouted from behind, and they wanted to stop him. Yang Xiaotao frowned and looked up at Factory Director Liu outside the glass. The other person also looked over, with a smile on his face, and then waved to the two women.

Yang Xiaotao stopped looking at the other party and looked down at the machine.

After just reading for a while, Yang Xiaotao reluctantly put away the notebook.

There isn't much that can be seen here, it's just the surface, the overall structure, but there's no way to see the structure inside.

If it can be dismantled and studied, Yang Xiaotao is confident that he can figure out the inner structure, and it might be possible to imitate one.

Can.

He looked up at the two people staring at him outside the window. If nothing else, Director Tian would not be able to pass this test.

With his heart heavy, Yang Xiaotao left the room disappointedly and came to the two of them, making a final struggle unwillingly.

"Director Tian, ​​Director Liu, there isn't much to see here. I'm not sure if we can study it further."

Yang Xiaotao said it tactfully, but Director Tian answered simply.

"Director Yang, I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang told me not to disassemble it when I came here."

"I said you have to understand the relationship."

After Director Tian finished speaking, Director Liu nodded, "Except for normal maintenance, we don't dare to touch this machine at all."

"We cannot agree to Factory Director Yang's request."

Seeing the two people saying this, Yang Xiaotao could only take a deep breath to keep his inner peace.

"In that case, I can take a look at it during maintenance."

Finally insisting, the two looked at each other, and finally Director Tian nodded, "There is no problem with normal maintenance."

"But disassembly, no."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, and Director Liu didn't stop him when he saw Director Tian speaking.

Yang Xiaotao then followed Factory Director Liu to continue the tour, but this time the three of them were relatively silent, and even Factory Director Liu simply spoke.

After the explanation, Director Liu returned to the office, while Yang Xiaotao continued to stay in the workshop.

"Comrade, what is this machine for?"

Yang Xiaotao came to a person, saw that the person was playing with the machine, and stepped forward to ask.

"Hello comrade, you said this."

"right!"

"This is used to collect air."

"Oh, how do you use this machine?"

"It's very simple, just put this here"

Yang Xiaotao picked up a pen and paper and memorized it carefully, "By the way, comrade, how many years have you been working here?"

"Me, six years."

"He's an old worker."

"It's okay, they are all serving the country."

"Yes, by the way, do you know about the air compressor?"

Yang Xiaotao was asking when he found the man smiling and shaking his head, "That thing, I just know how to press a switch, but I don't know about the rest."

"Then does any of you know?"

"Well, Manager Xu will know better."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, thinking of the person with an unkind expression.

After watching here for a while, Yang Xiaotao drew the general appearance of the machine, and then went to other places.

"Comrade, hello, comrade."

Before he could ask a question, the man had already moved his steps with a smile, turned around and walked away.

"what does this mean?"

Yang Xiaotao looked back at Director Tian, ​​who waved his hands and shook his head, "Maybe the girls in Jinling are more introverted."

"Introvert? Are you sure?"

"This, this is a personal habit."

Yang Xiaotao was speechless, and then looked at the workers next to him.

"Comrade, this thing."

"Oh, this is for cooling down. It's very simple."

"Ah, you're talking about the air compressor. I don't know about that. You can ask Director Xu."

"Yes, Manager Xu knows a lot."

"Comrade, I know you are asking this, but I have never operated an air compressor, so I really don't know!"

As Yang Xiaotao continued to inquire about the situation in the workshop, he gradually discovered a fact.

That is to ask other things, and the workers here will tell him unconditionally and without reservation, but once it comes to the air compressor, everyone will talk about it, either keeping silent, or looking for Supervisor Xu, or Yes, go to the factory leader.

I don’t know whether it’s because I really don’t know, there are only a few people taking protective measures, or I’m being asked not to speak or spread.

Anyway, Yang Xiaotao saw that these people were guarding against him.

Just in case he knows about the air compressor.

And did he have any choice? After all, being able to come here was already an exception. If he wanted to dismantle it, not to mention that his superiors didn't agree, he was also a little frightened.
