Scholars in the courtyard

"Comrade Zheng Shuangyan, don't get me wrong."

"And Comrade Ran Zhiqiang, don't worry, things are not what you think."

Mr. Zhang also realized that his feelings had been misunderstood by the two people, and quickly explained, "It's not Comrade Ran Zhiqiang's problem, but that I feel sorry that Comrade Ran Zhiqiang cannot join the Three Machinery Department."

Now the two of them were even more confused.

Immediately, Mr. Zhang told his superiors about the establishment of the Seventh Machinery Department, and looked at Ran's father, "This time, the superiors will focus on supporting the operation of the Seventh Machinery Department and deploy relevant people. Among them, the deputy of the Seventh Machinery Department is your former director. Five The dean of the hospital.”

"This time, he was the one who named you and asked you to report to the Seventh Machinery Department."

At this time, Ran's father finally felt relieved. The Seven Machinery Department was also in Sijiu City, so that was good.

And after listening to Mr. Zhang talking about the Seventh Machinery Department, especially when his old superiors were there, Ran's father suddenly felt that the Seventh Machinery Department seemed to be more in tune with him.

Of course, this is just what I’m thinking, and we’ll have to wait and see about the specific arrangements after reporting.

Furthermore, this place is the Three Machinery Department, and Ran's father still admires Mr. Zhang who brought him back from the northwest.

"Chief, you are doing revolution wherever you go. Besides, I would like to thank you for coming to Sijiu City."

Ran's father finally smiled, and Lao Zheng on the side was also happy after hearing this. Although the two of them could no longer be together, they were both in Sijiu City, and he also knew that they were good at different fields, and it would only be better for the future if they were separated. .

After hearing this, Mr. Zhang could only agree as the matter had come to this.

"It's over for today. You go to the arranged place to stay overnight. People from the Seventh Machinery Department will pick you up tomorrow."

Mr. Zhang made arrangements, and the two looked at each other and nodded.

Afterwards, he followed Director Tian to the arranged residence.

Originally, Ran's father wanted to go home, but Lao Zheng insisted on dragging Ran's father to identify the door so that he could come to the door later.

Ran's father also felt that he had to go and take a look. After all, it was a house allocated by the above. If there was no such thing as the Seventh Machinery Department, he would have something to do.

Besides, it's so late, and everyone in the family is probably asleep, so they won't go back late at night.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, but it was a rare good day.

During these days, the sky in Sijiucheng was always gloomy, but nothing happened to fall.

Yang Xiaotao estimated that if it gets very cold in a few days, it will be snowflakes when it rains.

"It's time to prepare some coal."

Yang Xiaotao was thinking about it, but he rubbed his eyes and didn't care about eating. He washed his face, put on his backpack, let Xiaowei watch at home, and then went out.

Last night, I told the old man about the past events in the courtyard and drank tea for half the night, which kept me awake at night. I waited until dawn to catch up on some sleep.

It was a bit late to go out, and Yang Xiaotao didn't want to be late.

When I was going out, I happened to see Qin Huairu coming out of her aunt's house. She was carrying a baggage in her hand. She didn't know what she was doing.

Yang Xiaotao just glanced at him and saw his haggard appearance, knowing that he didn't sleep well last night.

But it's none of his business.

Without stopping, I passed the Chuihua Gate, got on the bus at the entrance of the alley, and left.

Behind her, Qin Huairu clenched her clothes tightly, her teeth itching with hatred.

After what happened last night, let alone Banggeng going to Yang Xiaotao's house, you have to be careful even when playing in this courtyard.

I am afraid that I will be "educated" by the people in the courtyard openly, which is an injustice.

As for going to Yang Xiaotao's house to steal some technical information, let alone think about it, it's better to make it clear to Liu Guangqi.

But she was asked to speak out, and she was afraid that Liu Guangqi would not be happy, because that was her financial backer.

After going home last night, after thinking for most of the night, Qin Huairu finally came up with a solution that was not a solution.

Since pregnancy reports can be falsified, then why can’t any information or books be falsified?

It's just that this fake thing has to be kept aside.

Otherwise, if you give Liu Guangqi a notebook of math problems, he will see through it at a glance.

Therefore, it is best to ask someone who knows the basics of this technical issue.

And this person, among the people she knew, was only Yi Zhonghai.

So after she got up this morning, she took advantage of the cold weather to send warmth to her uncle and found her aunt, saying that she was going to see Yi Zhonghai.

The aunt was also thinking about Yi Zhonghai, but her body couldn't bear the long journey. She always wanted to go, but couldn't.

Now Qin Huairu took the initiative to propose it, which moved the aunt very much.

Although there is some benefit in this, Auntie also knows that it is not easy for a widow to live with three burdens, so if she suffers a little loss, she just treats it as a good deed and doesn't care about it.

After tidying up, Qin Huairu asked Qin Huairu to take some commonly used clothes. Before leaving, she also made fried eggs and boiled meat dumplings, filled a full lunch box, and asked Qin Huairu to take it with her.

After leaving the alley, Qin Huairu got on the bus and rushed to Caojiagou.

Yang Xiaotao drove along and met many workers at work. Although there were still not many bicycles in the past two years, the machinery factory had outstanding performance and the bicycle tickets given by the superiors were much more than those at the steel rolling mill, so the road to the machinery factory There were a lot of cyclists on the bus.

Of course, these people have all made outstanding contributions, otherwise they would not be able to get bicycle tickets.

Moreover, you still have to pay for the ticket. Today’s bicycles are not cheap, and the price has even gone up due to changes in plans.

The car drove to the gate of the machinery factory, and the security personnel took a look at it. After confirming that there was no problem, they opened the railing and let Yang Xiaotao drive in.

This is also a new requirement of the Security Department. No matter who enters the factory, they must be inspected, even Yang Xiaotao.

Looking at the tall weapons arranged on both sides of the gate, Yang Xiaotao felt itchy and shot a lot, but this kind of smoothbore cannon had never been repaired.

Driving into the factory, the workshops on both sides had already started to be busy.

After arriving at the office, Yang Xiaotao first went to Liu Huaimin for a walk. Liu Huaimin mentioned that the Third Machinery Department needed a liquid oxygen machine and asked him to go to the workshop to urge it.

But also pay attention to the heat.

Yang Xiaotao naturally understood that if you don't see the task, you won't place an order. Once you understand this thing thoroughly, it won't be a problem to get two or three units a day.

What's more, in the future, there will be more and more machine tools in machinery factories, and the production efficiency will only become higher and higher.

Producing a few air compressors is a piece of cake.

Then he came to Yang Youning and put the cigarettes on the table into his pocket in the name of talking.

Yang Youning bared his teeth when he saw him. I don't know who spread rumors in the factory last time, saying that he had health problems and couldn't smoke more. Now many people hide their cigarettes when they see him.

Nowadays, I have to smoke sparingly even if I have a pack of cigarettes, so this guy just took half the pack of cigarettes.

Bastard, next time this kid comes, you must hide your cigarette.

I cursed indifferently in my heart, but I still explained the matter clearly.

First, he talked about the follow-up transformation plan of the steel plant.

Yang Youning is more anxious than Yang Xiaotao about the renovation of the open-hearth furnace. He is just waiting for the steel plant to be completely renovated and the machinery factory to start a big one.

Even so, Yang Xiaotao still felt that it was a step-by-step process.

This thing can't be rushed, and Yang Youning nodded.

Then there is the matter of the chemical plant. Xu Yuanshan has contacted Northwest. The oil refining equipment has been loaded on the truck and will be shipped soon. When the time comes, someone from the machinery factory will be responsible for repairs.

Yang Xiaotao said there was no problem.

Finally, let’s talk about the factory tour.

It turns out that the machinery factory has gained a lot of attention this time. First there were rows of tractors at 11 o'clock, but then they made a big appearance in the eyes of the residents of Forty-Nine City, and even used the radio to let the whole country know that because of this incident, Red Star Tractor The workload is directly scheduled to the beginning of next spring.

And it’s still growing. In Lou Xiao’e’s words, if this continues, next year’s tasks will be fully arranged by the end of the year.

Of course Yang Xiaotao would not let this happen. Those who assigned the task must need tractors. If it took a year and a half, wouldn't it be a fool?

Therefore, the monthly tractor output must be expanded, which was also decided at the last meeting.

According to the plan, the production capacity of the tractor workshop will be tripled after the increase in production. Of course, this requires the support of machine tools and the skilled operation of workers.

It’s a long way to go, but Red Star tractors are indeed popular all over the country.

Coupled with the new steel-making method, driven by radio and newspapers, the machinery factory once again became famous.

Especially in Sijiucheng, I would mention a few words when chatting in the streets.

This time Yang Youning received many progressive groups wanting to visit the factory.

Of course, this is different from the tourist-style visits of later generations that were for prizes or a meal. The visits at this time were purely for learning, learning new knowledge, broadening horizons, and getting improved.

For this kind of thing, Yang Youning naturally has his own arrangements, especially the memorial hall that he strongly advocates, which will come into use at this time.

But he really hadn't thought about the first group to visit, so he asked Yang Xiaotao for his opinion.

"If you have to choose, let the students do it."

"Education starts from childhood."

Yang Xiaotao just suggested it, but Yang Youning listened.

After Yang Xiaotao left, he immediately asked secretary Xiaoqiang to find the publicity director.

Yang Xiaotao returned to the office, called Guan Zhiyong of the steel plant to inquire about the situation, and then gave instructions to make every effort to ensure the steel supply of the machinery plant, and at the same time asked An Zhongsheng to lead the transformation of the converter from small to large.

At the steel plant, Guan Zhiyong has long regarded this matter as a top priority, in addition to the production of liquid oxygen.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao specifically asked about the safety of liquid oxygen, and Guan Zhiyong also nodded.

After talking about the steel plant, Yang Xiaotao told Lou Xiaoe that he would go to the workshop to see him if he had anything to do.

Then went to the workshop.

Nowadays, with the promotion of machine tools, factory workers need to master and become proficient as soon as possible.

In order to improve the workers' skills, Yang Xiaotao sent the technical teams of the R\u0026D department to various workshops to provide guidance on the operation of the machine tools and strive to let the workers master it as soon as possible.

And he also wants to go around the workshop and solve problems when he encounters them.

East of Sijiu City.

A jeep stopped in front of a two-story building.

Ran's father got out of the car and looked suspiciously at a group of people hanging signs on the wall at the door.

Looking inside again, three or five people were moving tables and chairs in and out from time to time, and some people were running behind with a big pot in their hands.

Ran's father was a little suspicious. This was the Seven Machinery Department?

Is this where he wants to work?

"Comrade, this is the residence we just moved here, and it hasn't been sorted out yet."

"Please come in."

Ran's father nodded. Although he didn't know the next arrangements, he was already here and there was no way out.

Following the staff, Ran's father entered the gate and followed the steps into the small building.

"Our Seventh Machinery Department has just been established this time and is not complete in all aspects, so we must implement it as soon as possible."

Ran's father had just walked to the door of an office and saw the sign on the door saying 'Minister's Office'. Then he heard a familiar voice coming from inside, and he immediately became energetic.

"Report!"

The staff member shouted softly at the door, and then said, "Chief, the person has been brought."

"Coming, hurry up, no, I'll pick him up."

As he spoke, there was the sound of chairs moving in the room, and Ran's father hurriedly walked in from the door.

"Director, Ran Zhiqiang, was ordered to report here."

Ran's father looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was not tall and had a thin but smiling face. Ran's father had full reverence on his face.

At first, his interest in physics led him to communicate with this middle-aged man many times. Even when he was in the northwest, he often met to discuss issues.

His insights into dynamics give him a lot of ideas when designing.

"Wende, Wende, you are finally here."

When the visitor saw Ran's father, he didn't care about the other people in the room. He smiled and stepped forward, stretched out his hand and took Ran's father's arm. "Now that you're here, my grass-roots team will have a new platform."
