Scholars in the courtyard

One machine department, small conference room.

It’s the same long table, the same people.

Huang Lao sat in his seat to relax and look calm.

The same goes for Mr. Xia on the left.

The two of them seemed to be sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, indifferent to the plum trees, cows, and monkeys next to them.

It seems that the only thing in my mind is the fish that is about to be baited.

Just looking at the noisy people in the field, he felt inexplicably proud.

"Old Niu, you idiot, don't get involved!"

Sun Houhou shouted to the fat old Niu standing next to him, and his words immediately gained support from the people on the side.

"Nonsense, why did we in the west offend you? Our water transport in the southwest is not faster than yours!"

Lao Niu crossed his arms and said disdainfully.

"You also travel by water, do you know what the requirements are?"

"Build a factory nearby!"

Lao Li on the side stretched out his fingers and looked at them one by one, with anger on his face.

The area in the southeast is his area of ​​responsibility.

This good thing happened to him, and he was finally able to rise for a while, but these guys didn't know where they heard the news, and ran in all at once, and they even boasted about getting a share of the pie.

Yaya bah.

It's true that my uncle can bear it, but my aunt can't!

"Lao Li, the place can be yours, but let's build the pharmaceutical factory. I think I have more experience!"

Sun Lao said cheerfully, who allowed the metropolis of Shanghai to be included in his service area.

The hospitals and pharmaceutical factories there are among the best in the country!

"Go, go, let's go, Monkey Sun, I find that you are the most out-of-the-box every time. What's wrong with you this time? You have to not see me, right?"

"Old Li, what you said is wrong. I am doing this for the good of our engineering department..."

"I believe you ghost!"

So, just as there was some talk of openness in the room, chaos began again.

"Lao Xia, what are you going to eat tonight?"

Huang Lao put down the cup and felt his stomach was empty. He had drank a bowl of porridge in the morning, and now he was even hungrier.

As for not talking about lunch, as far as I'm concerned, it would be good if it can be done before dinner.

Mr. Xia shook his head, "I haven't thought about it yet!"

"However, I plan to visit the courtyard!"

When Huang Lao heard this, he immediately stared.

Siheyuan.

Yang Xiaotao!

That guy is a good cook!

"Together, together!"

Xia Lao knew it would be like this after just one glance.

So he nodded and thought about calling Yang Xiaotao later.

"By the way, I heard there are rewards on top this time?"

"That boy, is he second-class meritorious?"

Mr. Xia asked suddenly. After hearing this, Mr. Huang came forward and said, "No!"

"oh?"

"Is it first-class merit?"

Mr. Xia's originally frowned brows suddenly dispersed, and then became surprised.

"First-class merit? Will it be unqualified?"

Huang Lao smiled and said, "One was registered by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and the hybrid rice got extra points!"

"Then there's the matter of medicinal wine. I've made a lot of money this time!"

"Also, the plum blossom disinfectant and Qinghao oral liquid in front were not given decent rewards."

"This time, the higher-ups are probably planning to settle it all at once!"

Mr. Xia nodded after hearing this, that's fine.

After all, in terms of gold content, first-class merit is better!

"Can't you give me a special merit?"

Mr. Xia looked at Shu a little bit, and Mr. Huang rolled his eyes.

"What are you thinking about? It's not a war now, and you're getting special merit."

"You're the only one with first-class merit. Look at how many of these guys there are!"

"Be content!"

Mr. Xia leaned back after hearing this, with a bit of pride on his face, "What are you content with? I think you are just bullying him for being young and stingy!"

bump!

Wow...

While the two were talking, the sound of slamming on the table sounded in their ears, followed by the sound of teacups clinking.

With this slap, everything on the table shook.

The two of them were startled, and they quickly looked around and saw Lao Niu standing in front of the table, his face red and his neck straight, looking like he was eating people.

"Since everyone wants it, let's follow the old rules!"

As he spoke, he started to roll up his sleeves!

After the words fell, the room fell into silence.

The expressions of Mr. Sun and others were even more stagnant. How could they still look like they were quarreling just now?

Several people knew in their hearts that Lao Niu was serious this time!

"good!"

Huang Lao suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked over immediately and saw Mr. Huang standing up first, "Just follow the old rules."

As he spoke, Mr. Xia on the side was already helping to drag the table back.

This time, everyone was even more speechless.

You two really don’t think it’s a big deal to watch the excitement!

Still following the old rules?

Just declare it to Lao Niu!

Mr. Sun almost jumped up and pointed at the two of them and said they were shameless.

When we talked about the old rules in the past, it was always when we were evenly matched.

Just like him and Mr. Xia, the overall strength is about the same, and winning or losing depends on who has no lower limit.

But when it comes to combat effectiveness, who among a bunch of old arms and legs can compare with Lao Niu's body.

Mr. Sun snorted coldly after hearing this, and then dragged the table back.

The loser does not lose the formation.

There is no way to retreat without a fight!

On the other side, Lao Li also moved the table back in tacit agreement.

After a while, a "martial arts training ground" became empty.

Mr. Huang and Mr. Xia stood at the door, each holding a cigarette, and then looked at the old guys moving around.

"By the way, I heard that Lao Qin asked you to go to the logistics office?"

Mr. Xia suddenly asked. Mr. Huang flicked the ashes away from his cigarette, then nodded, "Yes."

"I called before the holiday and said that the plane was ready for testing."

"I wanted to go to the northeast, but I thought it was a long way, so I didn't go."

Mr. Xia blew out the smoke and said, "You really don't want to go!"

"Haha, you can see it."

"This time, the three planes took a step back. I heard that there was something wrong with the engine they built. Zhang Ban felt very uncomfortable."

"If I go, I won't be showing off to Lao Qin. How can we meet him in the future?"

Mr. Xia nodded, "That's right."

"But, can the logistics department do it?"

Huang Laoba chatted for a while, looked at the end of Lao Niu, and said quietly, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"

"I hope it works!"

…

Shengjingnan, test flight ground.

The sky is crisp, the sun is shining brightly, and there are no clouds.

The surrounding area was empty, not even the birds were seen.

Starting from several miles away, the surrounding area was surrounded by security teams, protecting the place inside and out.

Anyone who wants to come in must undergo strict interrogation.

Not far away, an iron-white aircraft was parked on the aircraft stand.

Beside it, engineers were holding notebooks to make final inspections.

Other ground staff also made preparations for the flight.

A hundred meters away.

A row of chairs are arranged neatly, and the water glasses on the table are arranged in a straight line.

But at this time, these seats were empty, and no one was sitting here at all.

In front of the seats, a group of people were chatting with their hands behind their backs, their eyes looking towards the plane waiting to take off from time to time.

In the crowd, Mr. Qin from the logistics department stood with his hands behind his back.

Compared with other people's expectations, Mr. Qin looked calm on the surface, but he was very nervous mentally.

Of course, just as nervous as him were several leaders of the aircraft factory.

This test was originally planned to be a tribute to the National Day.

But due to various reasons, it had to be postponed until now.

And today's test flight is only the first time.

Compared to the enthusiasm of others, the smiles on a few people's faces were mostly for coping.

"Old Qin, there is nothing wrong with your engine."

Mr. Qin was looking at the test pilot in front of him who was making final preparations. Suddenly he heard a familiar voice coming from his ears and couldn't help but look back.

"Lao Zhang, Lao Chen, why are you here?"

The visitors were none other than veteran Zhang Lao and Chen Lao from the Three Machinery Department.

"We were already here, but you were focused on the front and didn't notice."

Mr. Chen said something and then looked at the people around him.

After taking a look, except for the three of them, no one else came.

I guess I don’t want to put too much pressure on him.

"Lao Zhang, let me tell you the truth, I really have no bottom line."

Mr. Qin saw the two of them approaching, and then heard Mr. Zhang's inquiry. It was now, and there was nothing to hide.

"What? You, haven't you been tested?"

Before Mr. Zhang could speak, Mr. Chen had already spoken in surprise.

Mr. Zhang on the side showed an expression as expected.

Although their engine was started from scratch, they had previous experience in production and design, so the production speed was not slow.

The reason why he lags behind the logistics department is that the people in the logistics department do it faster, and also because he has no confidence.

In other words, the people under him do not have full confidence.

This is an engine. If it's not good enough, it could kill someone.

There are only so many outstanding test pilots in the country. One less is a loss.

Therefore, when the aircraft factory wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and catch the last bus as a gift not long after the National Day, he did not take the initiative to ask for help, but gave the opportunity to the logistics department.

As for the engine in the Logistics Department, although he didn't know the specific performance, based on Director Zheng's understanding, it was almost the same as their engine.

In some aspects, changes were made to the original design due to materials and precision.

In the words of Director Zheng, if it can reach 80% of the design drawing, it is considered a success.

"Old Chen, we have tested it."

"And after multiple tests, the results of each test can meet the design requirements."

"Then, what are you worried about?"

Mr. Chen was even more puzzled. There is no problem, but you still want to cause problems.

What does this mean?

Mr. Qin shook his head without explaining.

Seeing this, Laobang said, "The engine is only an important part of the aircraft. It also needs to adapt to other structures of the aircraft."

Having said this, Mr. Chen looked at the plane ahead.

The two of them followed their gazes.

"This experimental aircraft will only be finalized in September, and all requirements are very high."

"But the engine has not been installed for half a month, and you said you would take it out to the sky now."

"It's an experiment, but it's not so hasty."

"Just for a reputation, I have to take this risk. Is it worth it?"

Mr. Chen was silent and Mr. Zhang sighed.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd. The three people looked quickly and saw a pilot saluting here, then turned around and boarded the plane.

"It's about to begin."

Mr. Chen said something, and then came to the command post not far away, where the voice of the flight officer was heard.

Mr. Qin looked at the back of the figure who was entering the plane step by step, and his palms were already sweating.

‘Come on, come on! ’

He shouted in his heart that Mr. Qin wished that time would pass quickly, bypass this section, and tell him the result directly.

If he succeeds, he will come back to the present and continue to look down.

But if he fails, he will not stay here.

However, time will not listen to him, not a minute or a second will change.

The plane began to enter the runway, and the pilot was ready.

Then, under the command of the ground personnel, it began to accelerate.

"Normal acceleration, normal maneuvering"

As the pilot's instructions came out of the microphone, a group of staff around were nervously recording.

Chen Lao, Qin Lao and a group of staff were listening nervously.

Every word of the pilot made them tense.

Gradually, the plane began to carry out experiments in the sky according to the predetermined plan, and various parameters continued to gather.

"I am ready to enter 8 kilometers."

After a long time, the pilot's voice came, and the people on the scene slowed down their breathing.

"Permitted."

The commander on the scene shouted as if he had made up his mind.

As soon as the voice fell, Chen Lao immediately picked up the telescope and looked at the black spot coming out.

The next second, the black spot was climbing up like a flea.

Everyone around was staring in amazement.

"Not good. Chi Chi"

A busy tone came from the microphone, and everyone rushed forward immediately. Old Qin squeezed in even more frantically. Those two words were like a battle signal, making his heart beat faster.

"Shen Fei 001, please answer if you hear me!"

"The engine has stalled. I'm re-starting in Qidong."

"Not good, I can't control it."

The microphone was noisy, but the other party's voice could be heard.

"Shen Fei 001, parachute, I order you to parachute immediately."

Old Qin shouted loudly on the side, while Old Zhang on the side was holding a telescope, looking at the circling and falling plane, his hands trembling.

Boom~~~

Thirty-two seconds later.

A ball of sparks burst out not far away, followed by thick black smoke.

At the same time, an umbrella flower floated in the sky.
