Scholars in the courtyard

September 9, 1967.

There are still 80 days left before the mission.

Red Star Machinery Factory, Workshop 1.

The roar of the machine accompanied by the dry and hot air made the people here wipe their sweat involuntarily.

In the middle of the workshop, there is an aircraft frame made of titanium alloy.

This is the result of the machinery factory in recent times.

If it follows this speed, it should be no problem to complete the task.

But the reality is not so, because the more time passes, the more things will happen, and problems will follow.

And now, the time to test the workers has come.

After Yang Xiaotao came to the workshop, he checked the manufacturing of the aircraft fuel tank.

Because the aircraft fuel tank is designed as a whole, that is, it is a whole with the aircraft frame, so the fuel tank must be fully fitted in during manufacturing.

And considering the high temperature that the fuel tank has to withstand, the materials used this time are divided into two layers.

The outer layer is naturally stainless steel, and Yang Xiaotao chose to use titanium-rhenium alloy for the inner layer, and then put the finished titanium-rhenium alloy inner layer in.

The entire manufacturing needs to be strictly in accordance with the design regulations, and after it is finally put in, it can be perfectly fitted.

As for titanium-rhenium alloy, although the output is not large, when will it be used if not now?

"Mr. Yang, the outer layer of this fuel tank is still very simple to process."

"But it is difficult to put the inner layer in and make it fit in perfectly."

Zhang Guanyu invited Yang Xiaotao to come, and naturally there was a problem to solve, so he explained on the side.

"Where is the difficulty?"

Yang Xiaotao asked, and Zhang Guanyu pointed to the fuel tank being processed, "Mr. Yang, this connection is a problem."

"According to what you said, the connection of the aircraft this time is all hot riveting. Our comrades have used many methods, but..."

"Come and see."

Zhang Guanyu felt that it was a bit difficult to say, so he took Yang Xiaotao to the processed fuel tank on the side, "Look, this is still the riveted place."

As he said, Zhang Guanyu reached out and touched it, and Yang Xiaotao also reached out to try.

There is a protrusion inside.

"Boss Yang, there are quite a few protrusions like this. If we follow our design, these protrusions will hinder the inner layer from going in."

Yang Xiaotao stood up and looked around, "Where's Lao Wang? Call him over to ask if there is any good solution."

After a while, Wang Xushan and Qin Ming came over and learned about the situation.

"Boss Yang, there is no other way, only one, grinding."

"Grinding?"

"Yes, just grind it flat."

Wang Xushan gave his opinion, but Zhang Guanyu shook his head, "If it is ground flat, how can it be fixed?"

Qin Ming said on the side, "So when connecting this, you have to use more force, it's best to drive it in a piece."

"This is not a solution!"

Zhang Guanyu immediately denied it, "This will affect the firmness, and if it is not done well, it will cause fuel leakage."

Yang Xiaotao thought for a while, then shouted to the people on duty outside, "Go and find Director Zhou Shenghong of the timber factory."

The guards outside ran out immediately.

"Lao Zhou knows a lot about this, listen to his opinion."

Several people nodded.

Not long after, Zhou Shenghong came over from the fourth workshop.

Nowadays, the machinery factory is too busy, and the orders for armored vehicles have been high. Of course, this is also related to the battle in the south.

In addition, several allied countries in the west have tasted the sweetness of Kuiniu armored vehicles, so there have always been production tasks.

Zhou Shenghong directly divided the people in the wood factory into two groups, one group of people helped in the machinery factory, and one group of people was responsible for the operation of the wood factory.

Rotation once a month, the arrangement is done properly.

As for him, the factory director, he also came every three or five days.

Today, he happened to be in the machinery factory and was called by Yang Xiaotao.

"Mr. Yang, are you looking for me?"

Zhou Shenghong came to Yang Xiaotao as soon as he came.

During this period, seeing that all branches of the machinery factory sent people to help and participate in the production and manufacturing of aircraft, he, the factory director of the wood factory, also wanted to contribute and make some contributions.

But more than half a month has passed, and there has been no work for their wood factory, which makes him anxious and helpless.

Who let them be a group of carpenters?

Dealing with steel materials is really not their specialty.

"Old Zhou, I want you to solve something."

"Boss Yang, just tell me."

Yang Xiaotao led him to the fuel tank and pointed inside, saying, "Try the rivets inside. This is protruding. We need a smooth surface."

"Think of a way to avoid this situation."

Zhou Shenghong thought for a while and then smiled, "Boss Yang, I can't think of this for a while. How about I find someone and let's think about it together?"

"Okay, but hurry up. We don't have that much time."

"Don't worry, I'll give you a reply before I get off work tomorrow."

Zhou Shenghong turned around and ran out. He looked like a young man, and he could feel the excitement on his body.

"Leave this to Old Zhou for now. How are the other progress?"

Yang Xiaotao asked Zhang Guanyu about his progress again.

"Mr. Yang, we can basically proceed according to the planned schedule. It is estimated that in more than 20 days, the skeleton will be completed."

"By the way, you didn't go to the second workshop, did you?"

"No, has the machine tool over there been completed?"

Zhang Guanyu nodded, "I went over to take a look when I left last night, and they were assembling over there."

"It probably happened in the past two days."

"If this machine tool is added, our progress can be further advanced."

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and said, "Okay, keep track of the progress here, and pay attention to the physical condition of the workers. I heard that Lao Liu and the others came to work even though they were sick?"

"Yes, Lao Liu and Lao Hou must have been tired and weak. As a result, they fell down as soon as the cool breeze blew at night."

"Comrades, please pay attention to your health and don't rush."

"good."

Back at the headquarters, Yang Xiaotao picked up the enamel jar on the table and drank half of it.

Then I looked at the surrounding walls. Many places on them were already covered with information posts.

"Xiao'e, do you have the latest news about Jinling and Jiangling?"

Yang Xiaotao glanced at the message on the wall, which was the same as yesterday.

At this time, Lou Xiaoe has cut her hair short for work convenience, and she looks very capable.

"No, it's still yesterday's news."

"Confirm it as soon as possible."

"good."

As he was talking, Mr. Peng walked in from the outside and said after seeing Yang Xiaotao, "The alliance is going to hold a 50-year military parade, and I'm going to go there for a while."

Yang Xiaotao immediately became anxious upon hearing this. President Peng was required to be in charge at this critical moment.

If he leaves, there's no guarantee that someone will be interested in him or even desert him.

Seeing the look on Yang Xiaotao's face, Mr. Peng was helpless.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

"Besides, Lao Chen is here. If you have any questions, tell him."

Mr. Peng said with relief.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao had no other choice, "When will you leave?"

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"You have to work hard on things here and never let them go."

"I know. You should also take care of yourself when you go there."

Mr. Peng waved his hand.

After Mr. Peng left, Yang Xiaotao sat in the headquarters, looking at the constantly updated information, picking up a water glass and drinking water.

Under the current situation, he had no other option but to urge the local government to speed up the process and ensure quality.

A person is in a daze, lost in thought.

After lunch, Yang Xiaotao continued to collect information in the headquarters, waiting for news from Jinling 14th Institute and Jiangling.

"Xiao Tao!"

Just as he was waiting, he saw Liu Huaimin running in with a smile on his face.

"Old Liu, what's wrong?"

"Good news, good news."

"The Third Machinery Department said that the wing skins have been made and are about to be shipped here."

"What? Are you sure?"

When Yang Xiaotao heard the news, he immediately stood up from his seat.

"It's true, Lao Zheng from the Third Machinery Department said it himself."

"They have arranged a train and it will be delivered in no time."

Liu Huaimin said, and Yang Youning, who was not far away, also ran over, "I heard you saying good news from a long way away, and I have good news here too."

"What good news? Tell me quickly?"

Yang Youning saw both of them looking at him, then walked to the wall, checked briefly, and stopped in front of the electricity on the side.

"Good news from Shanghai Mechanical and Electrical Plant. The task has been completed. The things will be loaded onto the truck and delivered tomorrow."

After saying that, he slapped the wall.

"Electromechanical plant?"

"pretty!"

Yang Xiaotao and Liu Huaimin clapped each other's hands.

"Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu!"

Yang Youning shouted outside, and Liu Lixue ran in after a while, "Director, are you calling me?"

Yang Youning nodded, "Go to the radio room to sing a song to encourage the workers."

Liu Lixue didn't know why, so Liu Huaimin explained, "We have made great progress in our mission, and it's just time to be encouraged and happy."

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Watching Liu Lixue run away, Liu Huaimin looked back at Yang Xiaotao, "You, don't be too stressed."

"Being so serious all day made us both nervous."

Yang Youning also stepped forward, "Old Liu is right, isn't this good news?"

Yang Xiaotao smiled, "You two are right, it's time for us to harvest."

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning both laughed after hearing this.

"Let's go, have some drinks this noon, we must drink some to celebrate."

As he said that, Yang Youning pulled the two of them out.

In the next two days, as Yang Xiaotao said, good news continued to come.

There are constantly completing tasks and sending materials to the machinery factory.

There are also many who have achieved technological breakthroughs and are not far away from completing their tasks.

The good news kept coming, which greatly encouraged the workers in the machinery factory and worked harder.

This made Yang Xiaotao himself doubt whether he had been too pessimistic before.

If we follow the current progress, maybe it can be done in advance.

One workshop.

After Yang Xiaotao was called over by Zhang Guanyu, he saw two people getting into the fuel tank of the plane.

"What's going on?"

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward. The people inside were busy, and Zhou Shenghong came over quickly.

"Mr. Yang, we are solving the problem of the fuel tank."

"Solve the fuel tank problem? Have you figured out a way?"

Yang Xiaotao remembered the serious issue mentioned last time.

Zhou Shenghong immediately introduced to the side, "Mr. Yang, after you said it last time, we went back and immediately organized people to discuss it. In the end, we referred to our ancestors' wooden wedge method, but this time we used alloy materials."

After Zhou Shenghong introduced the situation, Yang Xiaotao only listened briefly.

But as long as it works.

"What's the situation now?"

"Boss Yang, we've tried it out, and this method can meet the requirements."

Zhang Guanyu explained quickly, and then pointed to the workers inside and said, "They are reinforcing it inside."

As he spoke, someone came out, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took off his shoes.

Yang Xiaotao could see clearly that there was an obvious big hole on the sole of the shoe.

Obviously, it was worn out because they couldn't move around inside.

"Boss Yang, the space is narrow here, and our people can only move around inside."

Zhou Shenghong explained on the side, and Zhang Guanyu added, "Comrades heard that the wings and skins were on the way, so they wanted to finish them quickly."

"Now there are three groups of people taking turns."

"This is the third pair of shoes that have been worn out."

Yang Xiaotao listened quietly, and then watched the person who had just changed his shoes go in again.

Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling came to my heart.
