Scholars in the courtyard

Machinery factory.

Yang Xiaotao was reading a book seriously in the office, with a Japanese translation dictionary at hand.

Perhaps due to the joint development of the body system and Xiaowei, Yang Xiaotao's learning ability is growing day by day.

According to my own calculations, in a few years and the system has been upgraded several times, it will be possible to have a photographic memory.

Because of this strong learning ability, after this period of study, I can remember the meaning of most Japanese words I see.

However, to understand the meaning of a single Japanese word, it takes a lot of brain cells to connect a string of Japanese words together!

Fortunately, my ability to understand is also improving. If I think more and guess, I can still find the answer.

In this way, the knowledge about machinery is like running water, pouring into the body continuously.

Yang Xiaotao closed the book tightly and sat there quietly, as if he was savoring something!

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have roughly read "Interpretation of Dahe Mechanical Patterns" and gained 15 credits!"

When the voice sounded, Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath again and came back to his senses.

"15 credits is really few!"

"But it's good to finish it."

Thinking of the incomprehensible bird songs in it, it is rare to be able to understand this half-baked language.

"At least, there's something in it."

Yang Xiaotao rubbed his brow, moved his neck, and then stretched.

On the side, Lou Xiao'e held her chin in her hands, her eyes were blank, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her mind.

At this time, seeing that Yang Xiaotao had finished reading the book, he quickly stood up and picked up the documents he had finished processing in front of him, "Mr. Yang! This is the latest material dispatch, I need you to take a look."

"I've just finished my work, so let's leave it alone."

He lowered his head and looked at the time, "Eat first, then talk after you finish."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, these were just signatures, not too anxious.

Putting the document aside, Lou Xiao'e suddenly remembered what Liu Lixue had asked her to do.

That night, the two of them walked back after watching the movie and chatted about singing.

It was mainly the song written by the Machinery Factory during the influenza period, which became popular throughout the 49 cities. Later, it was also sung on the radio, making people all over the country remember her.

After all, she is the lead singer.

It is also the most well-known in Sijiucheng.

Even her superiors called the machinery factory and asked her if she would consider returning to the opera troupe.

In response, Liu Lixue did not choose to go back, but continued to stay in the machinery factory.

Of course, her current status is not just a publicity officer. In view of her contribution during the epidemic, the machinery factory promoted her to deputy director and became the second-in-command of the publicity department.

The two chatted, and then they talked about Yang Xiaotao's creative talent and asked her to help ask if she had any other creations.

After all, there is more than one song circulating now.

A few days ago, a song came out from the school, and its popularity quickly surpassed the previous song "Send You a Little Red Flower".

"Mr. Yang, do you have time recently?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled and held the folder in front of her chest with both hands, very kindly.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at it and said, "Is it there? It's not like you can't see it."

He said and patted a pile of documents beside him.

Since Yang Youning left, Yang Xiaotao has been responsible for a lot more things.

Liu Huaimin went to another meeting in the past two days. Chen Gong has been coordinating with the local government to ensure the production of rice cookers.

As for Wang Guodong, he must have already run to the workshop by now.

So these tasks can only be shouldered by him.

"I mean, do you have time after get off work?"

Lou Xiao'e pouted, "Don't look at so many documents, but most of them are done with just a signature, which takes less than ten minutes."

Besides, I really don’t have time, but still have the time to read?

I also read books about my childhood, huh.

Who doesn't know that things are very chaotic there in childhood, and men may not have good intentions when they see this.

"After get off work? Then there is no time. I have to go home and take care of the baby."

"I still have to buy food and cook, and I have to go back to pick up my wife on weekends."

Yang Xiaotao said, want to take up his rest time?

no way.

Besides, I really don’t have time.

Thinking of the two girls, it’s great to be fine, but it’s also true to howl, the kind that can’t be coaxed.

"What's wrong, you want to treat me to dinner?"

"Forget it, your craftsmanship, tsk tsk."

Seeing Yang Xiaotao shaking his head, Lou Xiao'e slammed the folder on the table, "Huh, who are you kidding me? Why can't I cook? Besides, who wants to treat you to dinner? It's a dream."

Yang Xiaotao didn't mind either. The two of them had learned each other's tempers over time. At least Lou Xiao'e was much better now than in the courtyard.

"Do you have time?"

"What do you want to say first?"

Lou Xiao'e hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth, "What, China's five thousand years of songs are said to be written by you, is that true?"

Yang Xiaotao listened, took out the cigarette and put it under his nose to smell it, but did not light it. He understood Lou Xiao'e's purpose.

Speaking of which, when Yang Xiaotao came back from the northwest, he changed it and sang it to relieve the boredom of the children.

Who would have known that after this epidemic, it would spread so quickly that he never expected that many people in the streets, alleys, and factory workshops would hum a few lines, just like later generations singing Little Apple. The devil was stunned.

"Just take it as such."

Yang Xiaotao replied helplessly, and Lou Xiao'e raised her eyebrows, "Just take it as such, everyone knows it."

"You are not honest at all. I just asked you to help write a song. To you, it's not a small thing."

Ring ring ring

Just when Lou Xiao'e was about to continue complaining so that she could complete Liu Lixue's task, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

"I am Yang Xiaotao."

"Huh? Who's here? Factory Director Liu? Okay, I'll be out in a moment."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao stood up and said, "Go and tell the chef that the two hard dishes will be deducted from my salary."

Lou Xiao'e nodded. When it comes to business matters, there is no room for carelessness.

At the gate of the machinery factory, Yang Xiaotao came quickly.

"Director Liu!"

The visitor was none other than Liu Dehui, the director of Quancheng Automobile Factory.

"I originally wanted to come here before the New Year, but then things got busy and I thought about coming after the New Year, but I encountered the flu again, so I didn't come now."

Liu Dehui stepped forward and shook hands with the two, and Yang Xiaotao pulled him inside.

"You didn't tell me in advance when you were coming so that I could be prepared."

"It's not like you're an outsider, so why bother talking about it?"

"That's true, haha."

"But the later this comes, the more shocking it will be."

Liu Dehui looked at the tricycles coming out of the road and the tractors being painted, and he had to admit that the machinery factory is the same every day.

"A little fight, a little fight."

Yang Xiaotao was modest, and the two of them came to the office. Lou Xiao'e made tea and sat down.

"Xiao Yang, please come to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. This time you come here because of something urgent."

Liu Dehui put down the jar, with rest and anxiety in his eyes.

"Director Liu, tell me."

"Um."

Immediately, Liu Dehui talked about the difficulties faced by the automobile factory. In a word, it was the engine that made the noise.

However, things have changed now.

"The Shanghai Automobile Factory produced a gasoline engine some time ago."

Liu Dehui said, "Although it is a copy, it has been made, and the performance parameters are not bad. The cars produced now, they call them Changjiang cars, are purely domestic."

Yang Xiaotao immediately laughed after hearing this, "Director Liu, you Yangjiang brand, you Yellow River brand, isn't this obviously a competition?"

"you do not say."

Liu Dehui felt uncomfortable. Although his side was developing well, the engine as the core technology was still 'controlled by others'.

"Especially what they shout out is purely domestic. Isn't this Xiang Zhuang's sword dance meant for Pei Gong?"

"A while ago we were thinking about developing a four-cylinder engine, and people came to learn from it, and we made some progress back home, but"

Before Liu Dehui finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao also knew what was going on.

People who come to study only learn the structure of a two-cylinder engine, which is still different from a four-cylinder engine.

In fact, it's not that Yang Xiaotao doesn't want to develop a four-cylinder diesel engine. Even when he was in the courtyard study room, in order to earn credits, he had already designed most of the drawings of the four-cylinder diesel engine.

The reason why it was not taken out was mainly to consider the actual situation.

Judging from the name, the number of cylinders, pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, piston pins and other parts has doubled, which can be appreciated from the difficulty of changing from a single cylinder to a double cylinder.

In addition, the structures of special parts such as cylinder heads, crankshafts, and exhaust systems are more complex than those of two-cylinder diesel engines, which makes four-cylinder diesel engines more difficult to process and require higher technical content.

Correspondingly, manufacturing costs will also increase exponentially.

Now in the machinery factory, the two-cylinder diesel engine can already meet the current power demand, and there is no need for a four-cylinder engine. Why do you use a four-cylinder for a tractor? That is not a damn thing.

Besides, the time and resources required to make one four-cylinder engine can be used to make two more twin-cylinder engines. Now whether it is a tricycle or a tractor, efficiency issues must be considered.

This is why Yang Xiaotao is not in a hurry to make a four-cylinder engine.

"Xiao Tao, I heard that they also want to build tricycles in Shanghai."

"Um?"

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao understood.

"The plan has been submitted, and I heard that the superiors are considering it. After all, all the tricycles you make will be exported abroad, and the domestic vacancies need to be filled by people."

As Liu Dehui spoke, Yang Xiaotao picked up the teapot and drank slowly.

If Yang Youning had heard this, he would have stood up and slapped the table.

I had given up on them in Shanghai at first, but now that the market is improving, I want to get a piece of the pie.

Although this is normal in China, limited resources should be fully utilized.

But whoever this matter falls on feels uncomfortable.

"So, we need our own engine and we can't be looked down upon by others."

Liu Dehui said at the right time, with expectation in his eyes.

Yang Xiaotao put down the cup and was also thinking.

The office suddenly became quiet.

"Uncle Liu, in fact, this four-cylinder engine is just a replacement for the heart of the current truck. To be honest, it may not be as good as the original, and the production efficiency may not be as high as now."

Liu Dehui's face collapsed after hearing this, but he had to nod.

Because everything Yang Xiaotao said is right.

There is already a mature manufacturing system in China. Even if it is modified, it is still a large-scale industry.

What will happen to these factories if they are suddenly no longer used?

I guess even the superiors have to think about it.

The end result is definitely to remain as is.

Unless the scale of production is increased, but

The military is not taken advantage of.

Just thinking about what happened in Shanghai made me feel uneasy.

It's not that I don't want to lose, it's that I don't want to lose to them.

Just when Liu Dehui was slightly disappointed, Yang Xiaotao pulled out a document from the drawer.

"Director Liu, look at this."

Liu Dehui didn't know why, so he picked up the document and looked at it.

"Isn't this an armored vehicle production plan?"

When he came last time, people from the Third Machinery Department were also there, and it seemed that this was what he was talking about. At that time, the needs of both companies were engines.

"Why, this matter is left to you?"

Liu Dehui was surprised.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "The Third Machinery Department gave it to our department, and then gave it to our machine factory in a roundabout way."

"Now, the experts sent by the Third Machinery Department are waiting in the machinery factory."

"So, you want to develop this four-cylinder engine for an armored vehicle?"

Liu Dehui remembered that the demand of the Third Engine Department at that time was also a four-cylinder diesel engine.

But just now, Yang Xiaotao denied the four-cylinder diesel engine. What does this mean?

Just when Liu Dehui couldn't understand the situation, Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and said in a serious tone, "Director Liu, I don't think we should build any four-cylinder ones. Those are just gadgets."

"How about we double the amount and make a big one?"
