Scholars in the courtyard

In the office.

Xiaowei sat on Yang Xiaotao's shoulder, put her two small hands on her chin, and watched Yang Xiaotao working hard in a trance.

Outside the window, the sun popped out from the horizon, casting the figures of Yang Xiaotao and Xiaowei on the table. One big and one small, moving and still, they looked particularly harmonious.

And just under the projection, the drawings were spread out one by one, and the pencil lines on them became blurred.

Yang Xiaotao's fingers moved the pencil, modifying the data one by one on it.

Since coming back, Yang Xiaotao has been at work, constantly revising the drawings of the threshing machine.

Even when Liu Huaimin came to look for him, he didn't understand what was said.

As the design progressed, he felt that he was getting closer and closer to success.

Gugu~~

Suddenly, there was a protest from his stomach. Yang Xiaotao woke up from work and touched his stomach.

Look at the time, seven in the morning.

Looking back out the window, the sun is dazzling.

Father Sun goes to work so early, he is simply a role model for workers.

"It's so hot!"

Yang Xiaotao turned around and looked at the drawings in front of him.

The shell is similar to that of a wheat thresher, but the import and export have been changed, especially the internal structure. In order to break open the corn, Yang Xiaotao designed a more violent method.

"Is it not strong enough?"

After making many changes in a row, Yang Xiaotao felt that the problem might lie in a key place.

The part that breaks the corn cob is the key.

When Xiaowei saw the sun coming out, she immediately ran to the window sill to absorb the energy.

Ten minutes later.

Yang Xiaotao made a simple modification, and the system sound of ding suddenly sounded in his mind.

\\Suddenly, Yang Xiaotao poked the pencil in his hand on the table, and his original serious expression suddenly turned into joy.

When the system sounds, it means that the design is successful.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully designing a new mechanical drawing, please name it."

"Corn thresher."

Yang Xiaotao immediately said the name he had thought of, and the system's voice sounded again.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully designing the corn thresher. The system evaluation is good-medium."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for earning 500 credits."

Looking at the system's evaluation of the design drawings, Yang Xiaotao frowned slightly. This was far worse than the small threshing machine.

But then he felt relieved.

Small threshers can thresh wheat, rice, sorghum and other crops, but corn threshers can only thresh corn. From this aspect, there is a gap in itself.

What's more, the corn thresher is improved from the small thresher.

It's normal to have a low rating.

No matter what, just succeed.

With this thing, the farm in the northwest will be much easier.

Yang Xiaotao put away the drawings and planned to take this opportunity to produce the corn thresher together and prepare in advance.

Save yourself the trouble when the time comes.

On the other side, Liu Huaimin came to the superior department and met Mr. Chen who got up early.

Chen Lao's sleep quality has not been very good recently.

The impact of the previous earthquake was too great.

Especially the economic impact, continuous earthquakes, casualty pensions require a huge amount of materials, and subsequent disaster relief work requires continuous investment.

If not enough corn had been grown in the north this time and a lot of grain had been saved, the family would have been depleted.

Even so, the savings in the past three years have been exhausted.

In this case, Annan in the south is fighting fiercely again.

The superiors were determined to provide support. He was in charge of economic production and could only try his best to allocate supplies.

However, this support is not easy.

We must also take care of the domestic economic situation and the food and clothing issues of the people.

This is a common method of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

But he also knew that he could not keep demolishing the wall of farmers. What if there was ventilation?

But if we don’t demolish this east wall now, what else can we do?

However, the food has not yet been stored in the warehouse. Most of it is still in the fields or threshing floors. If we want to support them, we can only dig it out from between our teeth.

It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

He can't produce more food either.

Mr. Chen always calculates when the food will be put into the warehouse, how much food can be allocated to support, and how many people can be helped.

Each problem was like a mountain, weighing on his shoulders. When he lay down, he was troubled by his thoughts and couldn't sleep.

Mr. Chen was also surprised by Liu Huaimin's sudden arrival.

I had just finished the internal audit at the machinery factory a while ago, and I was wondering if something had happened during the audit again?

Unexpectedly, after meeting Liu Huaimin, the news he heard made him a little incredible.

Thresher!

Farm machinery!

He had seen this thing when he was in the alliance, but in recent years the alliance's focus has been on heavy industry, and there has not been much investment in these light industrial machinery, especially agricultural machinery.

According to his understanding, many alliance countries use machinery that is thirty or forty years old, otherwise Kazakhstan would not import domestic tractors and tricycles.

The country also imported some related machinery from the alliance. However, as the relationship between the two parties broke down and the other party's support in agriculture was lost, the country's agricultural machinery fell into a sluggish state.

Moreover, in his impression, the efficiency of the alliance's threshers was not high.

But in the materials submitted by Liu Huaimin, it is 1.12 tons per hour, which is a bit high.

The efficiency is a bit high.

When I first heard about it, I was a bit shocked.

If this kind of machine is used across the country, it will greatly improve agricultural production.

The excess labor can be used for better workmanship.

Even more fertile land can be cultivated.

More food will allow him to plan more calmly.

More importantly, if this thing is used well, the food in the fields can be quickly stored in the warehouse, and the previous food problem of supporting Annan will be easily solved.

Mr. Chen took a deep breath, and then continued to watch the introduction to the threshing machine.

When Liu Huaimin watched Mr. Chen flipping through the materials, his brows furrowed from time to time and his palms became sweaty.

If he hadn't experienced it himself, he wouldn't have believed it.

But this is the truth.

"Comrade Huaimin, is your threshing machine really the same as what's shown in the data?"

Facing Mr. Chen's gaze, Liu Huaimin showed an affirmative look, "Chief, we have personally verified it, and the president and director of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has also personally checked it."

"They can all testify to that."

Hearing that people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences were also involved, Mr. Chen became more convinced.

"Have you discussed this with the First Machinery Department?"

Liu Huaimin panicked after hearing this, and hurriedly explained, "He is the leader. Let's consider that if we want more farmer brothers to use the threshing machine as soon as possible, we must produce it as soon as possible."

"So we went to ask the head of the Machinery Department for help."

Liu Huaimin explained, but Mr. Chen smiled and shook his head, "You did a good job, don't be nervous."

"It is appropriate and correct to leave this matter to the First Machinery Department."

Hearing what Mr. Chen said, Liu Huaimin finally put his heart in his stomach.

"Fifty thousand units, I really dare to say that."

Liu Huaimin hurriedly explained, "Chief, these 50,000 units are only preliminary estimates and will not be produced at once."

"Moreover, these things can also be exported."

Liu Huaimin told Mr. Xia's plan, but Mr. Chen suddenly realized it.

The machine does not have to be used domestically, it can also be exported.

What about supporting Annan?

At this moment, Mr. Chen seemed to open a door and see more roads.

"In this case, let's go to the first branch factory and take a look."

Mr. Chen still felt uneasy and decided to go and see for himself.

If it is really good, we will promote production no matter what.

Liu Huaimin nodded immediately, "Chief, I will make arrangements right away."

After Liu Huaimin left, he immediately took a car to the first branch factory and asked Sun Guo to prepare.

Mr. Chen was not in a hurry, but sat at the table and thought carefully.

The threshing machine manufactured by the machinery factory really solved the problem, and enough grain could be collected in a short time to complete the task of supporting Annan.

But for him, it was treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.

This time I asked for it and he gave it.

What about next time?

One hundred thousand tons of grain this time, one million tons next time?

This can't go on forever.

No one's food was brought by strong winds, and after returning from the disaster area, he received news from Annan from Guangdong Province in the south.

Domestic support in this regard is wholehearted, and there is still no support with any additional terms.

Over the years, how much supplies have been sent over.

Even the best weapons are used closely.

But even so, the other party is still not satisfied and still thinks it is too little.

You know, the supplies provided to them average 50 kilograms of rice per person a month.

This is the food ration for a family in China.

Not satisfied yet!

I also want more food, more supplies, and more weapons.

The last time he went to the earthquake-stricken area, he realized a problem when he came back.

People in the country don’t have enough to eat. Do we still need to continue to support?

Especially those in Annan squandered the materials saved at home without taking it seriously, and they were more willing to listen to the alliance, but the relationship between the country and the alliance was there.

He was sure that between the country and the alliance, Annan's group would definitely choose the alliance.

This made him think, is it worth it?

Does this make sense?

When the time comes, don’t raise a white-eyed wolf.

Thinking of this, Mr. Chen felt it was necessary to convey his opinions to the boss, so he picked up the phone and made a call.

A moment later, a hearty Subei accent came from the other end of the phone, "Good morning, Old Chen."

"Good morning, Chief. I have something to tell you."

"The Red Star Machinery Factory has manufactured a machine that can thresh wheat. It can thresh 1.2 tons per hour. The effect is good."

"Comrades from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences are also involved. I believe the call will be made soon."

Mr. Chen began to report information about the threshing machine.

The thin old man on the other end held the microphone and looked very excited.

"Okay, comrades, do your best."

"Chief, if this machine is feasible, produce it as soon as possible. There will be no problem in completing the food support to Annan within half a month."

"It's just that the production of this machine may affect the production of other aspects, and it requires the cooperation of all departments."

Mr. Chen expressed his opinion, and there was silence for a moment on the other end of the phone. Then a voice came, "Since it is useful, don't be timid. Our comrades have done it and proved it. So what reason is there to refuse?"

"You can use it with confidence and let the comrades walk freely."

"We cannot restrict their pace!"

Mr. Chen nodded, "Chief, I think so too."

The two reached an agreement, but Mr. Chen spoke again.

"However, Chief, I still have some opinions on supporting Annan."

There was silence on the phone again.

Mr. Chen knew that it was not appropriate to talk about this matter now, but if he didn't say it, he would feel uncomfortable these days.

"You say!"

When these two words came, Mr. Chen felt great pressure and then expressed his opinion.

When Mr. Chen finished speaking, a sigh came from the phone.

"Mr. Chen, we have considered what you said, and we also think that this kind of thing will happen in the future."

"But, you have to know that in the current situation of bipolarity, there are some things that we have no power to choose."

Mr. Chen took a deep breath after listening and understood the concerns above.

With the two poles competing for hegemony, the remaining people can only survive in the cracks.

And if they want to develop steadily, some things have to be swallowed with blood and teeth.

"I understand."

"But I have a small suggestion."

"You say!"

Mr. Chen continued, "Chief, there is an old saying that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish! In this case."

Mr. Chen's suggestion is to send machines instead of grain.

The machine is naturally a thresher.

There are also tractors, plows and supporting equipment for production. These are the best things in domestic agricultural production. They can help you increase agricultural production. This is considered support.

And it is the machinery we developed with great difficulty. No one can say anything about it.

As for food, I'm sorry, we have given you the best machines. You can produce it yourself.

What else do you need food for?

We are still struggling to make ends meet. How can we spare the energy to take care of you?

What's the saying? Do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing.

Comrades, come on!
