Scholars in the courtyard

The next day, Yang Xiaotao came to the office of the machinery factory to put down his backpack, but before he went to the workshop to hand over the drawings to Zhang Guanyu, he saw Liu Huaimin coming in from outside.

"Uncle Liu, you came so early in the morning, what's the matter?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at Liu Huaimin yawning and joking.

"Early? I didn't go home last night."

Liu Huaimin said unhappily, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "You guy, you run away at the appointed time, and I can't find you."

"Otherwise, you would be here last night."

Yang Xiaotao's face fell when he heard it, "No, Uncle Liu, isn't the duty thing over tonight?"

"Pick it up again?"

Liu Huaimin snorted, "Who said the duty thing, there was something important last night."

"What's the matter?"

Yang Xiaotao asked curiously.

Liu Huaimin yawned, and Yang Xiaotao quickly handed him the brewed tea, "No hurry, take your time."

Liu Huaimin took a sip, "Last night, Mr. Qin from the logistics department personally brought people here."

It turned out that after Yang Xiaotao left the machinery factory, Mr. Qin brought people here, and Liu Huaimin was not gone yet, so he blocked him.

Afterwards, Mr. Qin explained his purpose, and it turned out to be for the three-roller steel rolling mill.

When Liu Huaimin said this, Yang Xiaotao was not surprised.

You know, a few years ago, when they were in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, they still used two-roller steel rolling mills, and now the steel rolling mills used in the first branch are still these.

This is the machine used by a large factory with 10,000 people in the four-nine city.

And it is a machine that the alliance eliminated more than ten years ago.

It can be seen that the situation of steel rolling mills in China.

Especially good steel rolling mills, which are even more scarce.

So the three-roller steel rolling mill developed by the machinery factory this time was immediately taken seriously by the higher-ups.

This thing is like an engine. If it is really done well, it will be a huge improvement for the processing and production of the domestic machinery industry.

Now, the second workshop has been prepared. As long as the effect of the three-roller rolling mill is acceptable, the machinery factory will add new projects.

For this reason, Yang Youning discussed with Yang Xiaotao and started to lay out and prepare to open another workshop.

The seventh workshop.

"Uncle Liu, isn't it just a rolling mill? Is it necessary to spend a whole night?"

Although he knew the cause and effect, Yang Xiaotao still didn't understand what Liu Huaimin did that night.

"You think it's so easy. When Mr. Qin came, he asked for the machine."

"He looked like he couldn't wait at all. He didn't want to wait for a minute. He wanted to take the machine and run away."

"The key is that he didn't let me report to Mr. Huang and others. You understand!"

At this point, Liu Huaimin was helpless.

Machines like this rolling mill are not like engines.

Without instructions and approval from superiors, the machines in this machinery factory cannot be taken out casually.

If it was lost, it would be state property and he would be punished.

He was the secretary of the Red Star Machinery Factory, and he would make a mistake one day.

"You gave it to me?"

"Nonsense, Mr. Qin was sitting in the office, staring at me, not saying anything, what do you think I would do?"

Liu Huaimin said unhappily, and then drank the water in the cup in one gulp.

"Then give it to me. I guess it's probably because someone else got there first, so you rushed to get it."

Yang Xiaotao said comfortingly, "It doesn't matter, just give it to me!"

"Nonsense, how could I not give it to you!"

"Then you took people to the steel plant and dismantled it overnight?"

Yang Xiaotao said with a smile, and Liu Huaimin nodded.

"Not only that, our people were dragged to help with the assembly, and they haven't come back yet!"

Liu Huaimin yawned and said, "Yes. I just called Mr. Xia, and Mr. Xia said that the things will be given, and the people in the logistics department will give enough benefits at that time."

"I'm waiting for you to come here, just to let you go quickly and bring the people back."

"I'm not worried about anything else, I'm just afraid that they will lose both the wife and the army, and leave our people behind."

Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately after hearing this.

"Don't worry, they still want better things, so they dare not do anything reckless."

As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Yang Youning's voice came from outside.

"Chief, why are you here so early?"

The two looked at each other, hurriedly got up and opened the door, and then saw several people standing at the door.

Yang Xiaotao saw that the leader was Mr. Zhang from the Third Machine Department, followed by Director Zheng, and Yang Youning was talking to him next to him.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao and the others come out, Mr. Zhang nodded and then walked into the office.

When everyone came to the room and sat down, Zhang Lao asked.

"I heard that you have developed a new steel rolling mill? What's the situation and how is the effect?"

Hearing this, Yang Youning, who was not clear about the situation, immediately said, "Commander, we have indeed developed a better steel rolling mill, which has better performance than the previous two-roller steel rolling mill..."

While Yang Youning was still talking, he saw Yang Xiaotao winking at him. He thought he was going to praise him, so he smiled and said, "Of course, this time it was the result of the efforts of the comrades, and it was also thanks to Comrade Yang Xiaotao's central planning..."

Ahem...

Liu Huaimin didn't dare to let him continue, and coughed twice to interrupt him, "Chief, you are a step late."

Old Zhang raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong, who is here?"

Yang Youning also realized that something was wrong, and looked at Yang Xiaotao.

"Well, last night, Chief Qin brought people over and took the rolling mill away overnight."

"It makes it impossible for us to start work now."

Yang Xiaotao said helplessly, and Old Zhang sighed immediately after hearing it.

"This guy, he's so quick!"

Seeing Old Zhang's look, Yang Xiaotao and others also saw that something was wrong, but they didn't know whether to ask.

Mr. Zhang didn't say anything. Director Zheng on the side glanced at Yang Xiaotao and then said, "We've run into some trouble this time."

Seeing that Mr. Zhang had no intention of stopping him, Director Zheng continued, "We are now studying airplanes, you know."

Yang Xiaotao and the other two looked at each other and nodded.

At the beginning, the Third Ministry of Machine Building and the Logistics Department were cooperating to develop airplanes, so the armored vehicle project was launched. In the end, Mr. Huang directly pushed it to the machinery factory, which led to the appearance of the Kuiniu armored vehicle.

However, now that the armored vehicles have been developed, it's not that the airplanes haven't taken off yet.

"Uncle Zheng, we knew this a long time ago, and you have developed it now?"

Speaking of airplanes, Yang Xiaotao was a little worried.

Perhaps it was because of his arrival that many things happened.

Especially the relationship with the alliance, because of the high-yield corn, the alliance paid more attention to the power of China.

And this kind of attention is sometimes not a good thing.

Just like the current aircraft research and development.

"How can it be so fast? We are still working on the engine here."

"Engine?"

Yang Xiaotao frowned, because there was a pile of turbojet engine drawings in his space.

However, he looked at those drawings and found that some of the parts had very high requirements for materials and processing accuracy, at least they could not be processed by the machinery factory.

Especially the core parts, which need to be finely processed, and even the key parts, such as turbine blades and air guide wheels, are formed by precision casting in one go.

Even if the machinery factory uses Morningstar machine tools to do this, the success rate is not high.

There are also turbine shafts, air intake shells, lubrication sleeves, and diffuser blanks, which need to be made by turning, which are not simple processing.

Just imagine, there are so many drawings for an engine alone, how many drawings would be needed for the design of the entire aircraft?

How many parts would this require?

Even if the parts are distributed to the factories below for processing, it is estimated that there will be hundreds of factories.

Yang Xiaotao did think about taking out the drawings, but with so many engine drawings, he had to find a reason.

"Well, we have designed a set of engines."

Just when Yang Xiaotao was thinking about how to get in, he took the opportunity to bring out the engine drawings, but he didn't expect Director Zheng to say it directly.

"Have you designed it?"

"Yes, although this matter is an important secret, you are not outsiders."

Director Zheng looked at Mr. Zhang again, and seeing that the other party had no intention of objecting, he continued, "After we designed it, we were ready to try production."

"But when we were producing, we found that the domestic infrastructure was too weak, and some good designs had no material and technical support at all. We could only find a way to solve it."

"So you came to our three-roll steel mill?"

Yang Xiaotao asked, and Director Zheng nodded.

"I won't go into details. At that time, we inquired about this thing in China, but we didn't find a suitable one in China. Finally, we heard from Mr. Huang that you had made one, so we came to see it without stopping."

"Unfortunately, it's still a step late."

Director Zhang regretted it.

Yang Xiaotao frowned, then glanced at Liu Huaimin, who immediately understood and asked, "Aren't you cooperating with the Logistics Department? Just use it together."

After saying this, Zhang Lao's face looked a little strange, and Director Zheng didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Liu Huaimin knew that both sides were probably holding back, and they wanted to see who would solve the problem first.

"I'll tell you."

Zhang Lao didn't care either, after all, it was a healthy internal competition, and there was nothing to hide.

"Our Third Machine Department cooperated with the Logistics Department, but the two sides had disputes over engine design, and no one could argue with the other, so they each did their own thing and then selected the better one to equip the aircraft."

"Now, I didn't expect the other party's research and development to be so fast, and it has reached the stage of production."

After Zhang Lao finished speaking, looking at the expressions on the faces of the three people, he asked, "Secretary Liu, when will you make another rolling mill?"

Liu Huaimin looked at Yang Youning, and Yang Youning looked at Yang Xiaotao.

In the end, everyone's eyes were fixed on Yang Xiaotao, making him uncomfortable.

"If we make the old ones, we can make one in three days."

"If we work overtime, two days is possible."

Yang Xiaotao thought about the last discussion with Chang Mingjie and said seriously.

"Two days, yes, it's enough."

Mr. Zhang glanced at Director Zheng. Although he said it with certainty, his tone was a little unconfident.

Director Zheng nodded and was about to speak, but suddenly he heard something wrong in Yang Xiaotao's words and asked hurriedly, "Well, what do you mean by the old ones?"

"What do you mean?"

After saying this, everyone came to their senses and looked at Yang Xiaotao in unison.
