Scholars in the courtyard

Machinery shop, office.

Yang Xiaotao was waiting for news from the TV factory when he suddenly heard the phone ringing on the table.

He quickly picked up the phone and said, "Hello, this is Yang Xiaotao."

Then Mr. Chen's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Xiao Tao, you know something."

Mr. Chen came up and said that Yang Xiaotao was a little confused. Could it be that he wanted the machine tool?

"Chief, tell me."

Yang Xiaotao reacted quickly and listened carefully.

"The thing is very simple, it's the French side."

It took Mr. Chen three minutes to explain the matter clearly, and then waited for Yang Xiaotao to answer.

I thought Yang Xiaotao would need to think for a while, but Yang Xiaotao gave the answer in the next second.

"Chief, isn't this a loss-making business? You can't exchange it. You definitely can't exchange it."

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Chen put the phone down and looked at the three people gathered around him.

Then he continued, "You are talking about the performance of the aircraft, we have already evaluated this."

After hearing Mr. Chen's explanation, Yang Xiaotao understood that his meaning had been misinterpreted, so he said, "Chief, my objection is not because the other party's aircraft are bad."

"I think that if we introduce each other's technology, it's basically the opposite."

"Going in the opposite direction? Please tell me carefully."

"Chief, the success of an aircraft is not achieved by just a few departments working together to discuss it. It is accomplished by hundreds of departments working together."

"It's like a navigation system. We can buy radar from them, but can we produce it ourselves?"

"Unless they are willing to hand over radar technology to us, hand over those special technologies to us, otherwise, this is simply a waste of time."

"Even then, when people put technology on the table, we will be confused because we can't even meet the basic facilities."

"Besides, the aircraft we are currently researching are all following the alliance's path. We have spent a lot of effort over the years to understand them thoroughly."

"Now that we have finally achieved some results, if we spend more energy studying another line, we will be picking sesame seeds and losing the watermelon."

Yang Xiaotao explained the matter clearly on the phone. In his heart, he didn't want to exchange the recipe for medicinal wine.

After all, with the technological level of the West, even if it can’t be done now, what about ten or twenty years from now?

Maybe we can extract 'special' ingredients from Chinese herbal medicine, and then turn them into 'Western medicine', and in turn let the country pay for it.

This kind of thing did not happen in later generations.

And he was sure that as long as the recipe for medicinal wine was handed over, the whole world would know about it before long.

He couldn't say it for this reason, but it was true about the plane.

Later generations also proved that this Phantom series was indeed not suitable for China.

"Chief, I'm done. Are you listening?"

There was no movement on the other end of the phone. Yang Xiaotao didn't know if he had said too much, so he asked quickly.

The four of them heard Mr. Chen Fangping's call clearly, but their expressions were cautious.

What Yang Xiaotao said was almost the same as what they thought, and it was more specific.

Upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's question, Mr. Chen quickly said, "Okay, I know what you mean, and I'm about to hang up the phone."

"Hey, hey, chief, chief."

When Mr. Chen was about to hang up the phone, Yang Xiaotao quickly stopped him, "Chief, I have something else to do."

"you say."

Mr. Chen glanced at the three people around him and put the phone to his ear.

Da Chen, however, stretched out his hand to hold it down with a smile on his face, while Mr. Chen looked helpless.

"Chief, I'm making gas turbines, so I'm having some trouble."

"It's just that the turbine is a bit big. When we built the combustion chamber, the current machine tools were a bit difficult to use."

Listening to Yang Xiaotao complaining on the other end, Mr. Chen saw that the smiles on the faces of the other three people could not be suppressed, so he quickly interrupted and asked, "If you have anything to do, just say it."

"Hey, okay, that's it."

"Chief, do you remember the machine tools that Persia sent last time? Didn't you say at that time that the comrades in the Second Machinery Department needed to use the machine tools, so we let them use them first."

"But after so many days, I guess it's time to use it up. Would you like to help me and ask if I can return it?"

"If it doesn't work, we can just send it back and use it for two days."

"You always have to make the decision for our machinery factory."

Yang Xiaotao said, Mr. Chen raised his eyebrows, and the three people around him covered their mouths and laughed.

"Okay, okay, I'll ask you about this."

After that, hang up the phone.

Then the room burst into laughter.

"Xiao Chen, I didn't expect you to be so mean-spirited that you would even trick your own people."

Da Chen laughed and held his belly, while the other two shook their heads.

Mr. Chen snorted coldly, "This kid wants to scoop all the good things into his own bowl."

"Last time, Persia got a batch of equipment, including a French machine tool. It happened that the Second Machinery Department was at a critical stage in their research, so I had someone send it to me."

"I thought this kid would forget about it, but I didn't expect that he still remembers it now."

Da Chen shook his head, "I can forget about making money, but who will forget about losing money?"

Mr. Chen shook his head, but since Yang Xiaotao mentioned this matter, he must have really encountered a problem.

"Speaking of which, how are things going at the Second Aircraft Department?"

After the words fell, everyone looked at the thin old man.

"Soon."

The old man said with a smile, "I think we should be ahead of France on this matter."

Hearing this, all three of them raised their arms.

It is said that this thing is many times more powerful than mushroom eggs.

With this big guy, it's time for the monsters and demons around him to take a break.

"You have guns and bullets, so don't panic."

Da Chen sighed with emotion, then looked at the three of them, "Then do you want to replace this plane?"

The thin old man squinted his eyes, recalling what Yang Xiaotao said in his mind, and suddenly smiled, "Didn't Comrade Yang Xiaotao make it very clear?"

"Change, yes, but you have to help us develop the basic industry. At least it can support the independent production of Phantoms."

Hearing this, the three of them laughed.

On the other side, Yang Xiaotao put down the phone and continued designing the engine.

Unlike aircraft engines, the engines required by the Seventh Aircraft Department are simpler, but simple does not mean easy.

Structural requirements remain strict.

Yang Xiaotao began to make cuts based on HXJ-1, removing the controllable parts, removing the control parts, and removing

The remaining part can only ensure that the engine starts quickly and then obtains strong power, thereby obtaining the maximum speed in reaction.

According to this requirement, Yang Xiaotao continued to revise and strive to get the system's approval as soon as possible.

In the afternoon.

Chen Gong came back from the TV factory, walked to Yang Xiaotao's house and started complaining.

"You are talking about these people. We all clearly stated in the operation manual that inspections and maintenance are required, but in the end we turned a deaf ear."

Chen Gong picked up the water glass and poured it into his mouth. After drinking, he looked at Yang Xiaotao's table.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao directly picked up the plate of peanuts and melon seeds on the table and walked aside to sit down.

"You haven't even eaten this meal."

Chen Gong pulled out the peanuts and nodded, "Stop talking, I'm still in the mood to eat."

"You don't know, when I left, a group of good guys looked at me, as if they were holding a meeting and wanted to beat me up."

"As a result, our people took a look and found a thick layer of scale inside the boiler."

"Then we asked. Over the years, since it was installed, it has not been cleaned."

"No, cleaning means rinsing with water."

"It's been so cold at this time, and the fever got a little too much, and then it exploded."

"One of the two people who burned the boiler suffered a severe head injury and the other suffered burns. He is still in the hospital."

Chen Gong quickly explained the situation.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao knew that this matter had nothing to do with the machinery factory.

The shelf life of the items has expired, and they are not maintained according to the manufacturer's requirements. Can something happen?

Besides, as I said earlier, the machinery factory can arrange for people to help with maintenance, but the other party obviously doesn't want to pay for it, so they can't blame others.

Boom, boom, boom

Almost all the peanuts on the plate were eaten, and Chen Gong drank another glass of water. "I'll go tell Sun Guo."

"What's wrong?"

"What can I do? The boiler is broken and I want to build another one."

"It's extremely cold today. In just a short time, the TV factory was so cold that people couldn't stand it. Before I left, I told them that they must be installed as soon as possible."

After saying that, Chen Gong stood up and left, while Yang Xiaotao shook his head helplessly behind him.

However, this incident can be regarded as a warning to other factories in Sijiucheng to avoid further accidents.

On the other side, as soon as Mr. Chen returned to the office, he heard news from his secretary that Yang Xiaotao was looking for him.

Mr. Chen waved his hand to show that he knew.

Sitting at his desk, Mr. Chen thought for a moment.

Finally, I picked up the phone and dialed.

After a while, the call was connected, Mr. Chen explained the situation, and then the results were obtained.

Finally, Mr. Chen hung up the phone and thought it would be better to tell Yang Xiaotao later.

Just a moment later, Mr. Chen picked up the phone and dialed again. After saying a few words, he hung up again and went back to work.

By the time I got off work in the evening, the heavy snow outside had lightened up a lot, but there was still thick snow on the road.

Yang Xiaotao came to the convoy, drove the jeep out, and then drove cautiously to the courtyard.

The car was not going very fast along the way, and Yang Xiaotao could hear the crunching sound of wheels crushing the snow. There were almost no pedestrians on the road. Occasionally, there were cars passing by, but they slowed down and did not dare to go too fast.

The usual ten-minute drive took Yang Xiaotao half an hour.

By the time the car stopped at the entrance of the alley, the roof of the car was already covered with snow.

Yang Xiaotao got out of the car and walked into the alley.

Not long after leaving, I saw a group of children skiing on the snowdrift in a stylish manner with two boards on their feet and wooden sticks in their hands.

Under the gate on the side, Cuiping's instructions can also be heard.

Needless to say, this was Cuiping's idea.

Ever since they watched Lin Haixueyuan on TV, and it snowed frequently in Sijiu City during this period, a group of children imitated what they saw on TV and made sleds.

Speaking of which, Yang Xiaotao also contributed to this.

Who told him to do carpentry?

When I came to the door, I heard the Dragon Boat Festival shouting, "I want to be Yang Zirong, and you will be bandits."

"Why?"

"Because my surname is Yang too!"

Dragon Boat Festival said very proudly.

Miaomiao Nunuzui, her surname is also Yang, but unfortunately she is a girl.

Well, that’s a very strong reason, and a bunch of kids around me agree with it.

As a result, a group of children played a game of fighting bandits as a small team.

Bang

Dragon Boat Festival was chasing after him, and a snowball hit him. Dragon Boat Festival's face was covered with snow, and then he raised his feet and ran forward with a whoosh, and the wooden boards on his feet hit the snow directly, blinding the pair of sleds.

The children around laughed and chased each other carefreely.

Yang Xiaotao looked at his three daughters, who were running around behind him one by one, not acting like ladies at all.

He shook his head helplessly, said hello to Cuiping, and walked into the yard.
