Scholars in the courtyard

Siheyuan.

Yang Xiaotao came to the yard carrying a basin, with Miaomiao beside him.

Looking at the diaper in the basin, he said, "Dad, I will wash it."

As he said this, he was about to lend a hand to help.

"No, dad is here, so it's not your turn to do this job."

Yang Xiaotao stopped the little hand, and seeing the other party's expression of "I can do it", he couldn't help but smile and said, "In the future, when you have a child, you will have to wash this thing."

Miaomiao lowered her head and said, "I don't want to. I want to follow my parents."

"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about."

As he spoke, Miaomiao picked up the ladle and began to pour water into the pressure well, then pressed it skillfully, and soon a stream of water flowed out of the pipe.

"Miaomiao, have you ever thought about what you want to do when you grow up?"

Yang Xiaotao sat aside and started washing the diapers.

Miaomiao is ten years old now. She started school early and is about to enter the fifth grade. Yang Xiaotao found that he paid less attention to this eldest daughter.

When Miaomiao heard Yang Xiaotao's question, she immediately said, "Dad, I want to join the army."

"To be a soldier?"

Yang Xiaotao was a little surprised.

Apart from anything else, if you ask the children in the yard what they want to do when they grow up, most of them say they want to be workers, and some want to be teachers.

But I've never heard anyone say this about being a soldier.

Looking up at Miaomiao's determined face, thinking of the great earthquake two years ago and the rescue scenes in Shicheng, Yang Xiaotao suddenly understood Miaomiao's thoughts.

"Okay, then join the army."

Miaomiao was very happy to hear Yang Xiaotao say this.

At least, Dad supports her.

"Dad knows a place where the most powerful soldiers come from. Do you want to go?"

Miaomiao nodded immediately, "Yes, I want to go."

"Okay, but the academic performance requirements there are very high."

"I'm not afraid. I'm number one in the class now."

Miao Miao said proudly, Yang Xiaotao smiled and nodded, "Okay, then our family will have a female general in the future."

Ran Qiuye was lying on the side feeding Xiaowu, while holding a Chinese textbook and asking, "Qingshui!"

Duanwu bit the pencil, thought for a while, drew a circle first, and then wrote water.

Looking at the increasing circles on the notebook, I felt completely hopeless. This summer vacation was very sad.

The next morning, Yang Xiaotao went to the Ninth Department to check in as usual. After finishing his chores, he planned to go to the hotel to see if Faisal and the others had made a decision.

As soon as I arrived at the office, I saw Liu Lixue and Lou Xiaoe whispering there. When they saw Yang Xiaotao coming, they just greeted them and continued talking.

Ignoring the two of them, Yang Xiaotao continued to check the documents.

The pharmaceutical factory has already promoted Isatis root, and it has received good public response.

In addition, the industrial production of artificial bovine insulin has also reached a critical time. If there are no problems with the drug trial, it will be pushed to the market.

The progress at the chemical plant was also going smoothly. The last time Yang Xiaotao went to help, he also experimented with the element symbol pen and "derived" three chemical formulas, which shocked Zhu Ziqing and others at the time.

One after another kept chasing him and asking questions, making it difficult for him to cope with them.

I have made up my mind to stay calm until there is a definite explanation.

The first batch of 2,000 calculators from Tianjin have been loaded onto trucks and sent to the alliance.

Subsequent production is being expanded in scale. Similarly, the high-purity silicon workshop is also being expanded. Now the number of trucks transporting stones has increased to twenty per day.

Sometimes there are a lot of people.

Yang Xiaotao made a note at the back of the document, asking people to pay attention to personal protection.

The situation in other factories in various places is good and they are making steady progress.

As for the situation of the research institute, it is also pretty good.

Three solar cells have been produced.

On the computer side, the project team led by Director Yan also made progress and produced the first circuit board.

In addition, there is the Ninth People's Hospital.

The location has been selected and construction has begun.

Wang Guodong is in charge of this, so Yang Xiaotao is relieved.

After reading everything, it was already ten o'clock, and Yang Xiaotao was ready to call and ask Mr. Qin what was going on.

But before I picked up the phone, I saw someone walking in from outside.

"Yang Department."

Wu Zhe walked in, looking anxious.

I agreed to the request of Bian Xiang and others when we talked on the phone last night, but after sleeping for a night, I felt a little regretful.

He only thought about technology and never thought about getting involved.

So when I arrived at Jiubu this morning, I was a little undecided.

Finally, he remembered that he had already agreed to it and that he had put a lot of effort into this Shengjing Aircraft Factory, so he mustered up the courage to come over.

"Director Wu, please sit down."

When Yang Xiaotao saw that it was Wu Zhe, he pointed to the seat next to him, and Lou Xiaoe hurriedly poured water to make tea.

"Don't worry, I have something to say and will leave soon."

Wu Zhe was being polite. Yang Xiaotao walked over to sit down opposite him and said, "It's okay. We're just talking anyway."

"I'm away these two days, so I hope the production in the workshop is ok."

Wu Zhe shook his head, "No problem."

"We now have six production lines, four of which produce the White Colt fighter and two of which produce the Blue Colt fighter."

"Lanju, we all called out to each other."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, and Wu Zhe scratched his head, "Everyone calls it that, so it's easy to say."

"Well, Blue Colt is not bad either."

Lou Xiao'e put down the tea and walked aside to continue her work.

"You still have to pay attention to Lanju's production and don't rush it."

Yang Xiaotao reminded that because Lanju used high-purity silicon heat-resistant materials, some changes were made to the internal components.

"clear."

"Also, confidentiality work must be continued. I have told Director Liang that the number of participants will be restricted. You must pay attention to this and tell your comrades not to complain."

"I see."

After Yang Xiaotao finished giving instructions, Wu Zhe spoke.

"Director Yang, a comrade from Shengjing called me last night."

After Wu Zhe finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao picked up the water cup and took a sip. He asked without surprise, "They fought last night? These people are really stable."

Wu Zhe smiled.

"Director Yang, they said that things are very chaotic right now and many people need to be transferred from their posts, including some who have real abilities."

Wu Zhe said carefully, "Besides, they have lost their backbone now, everyone is panicking, and the workshop is in a semi-production state."

Yang Xiaotao listened quietly on the side.

Originally, he wanted to deal with it after finishing the current issue. After all, on the surface, the Shengjing Aircraft Factory gave it to the Ninth Department to cooperate with its own J-8 modification.

But I didn't expect that this news would have such a big impact over there.

If you leave it alone any longer, something bad might happen.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After thinking for a moment, Yang Xiaotao said to Liu Lixue, "Xiaoxue, go find Secretary Li."

Liu Lixue walked out quickly, and Li Hongfeng walked into the room soon.

"Old Li, there is something"

After Yang Xiaotao finished explaining the situation, Wu Zhe sat there restlessly, hesitating to speak.

Li Hongfeng looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "We are still investigating the personnel over there, but I think Director Yu Zimo can be hired, regardless of his resume, experience, or character."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao knew that this person was probably the only one among the senior executives there who could stay.

The rest will be arranged.

"Okay, then let's send a letter to Shengjing and ask Director Yu Zimo to calm people's hearts."

"Also, have their technical team prepare themselves and not allow anyone to leave without orders."

Yang Xiaotao added that Li Hongfeng didn't understand.

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, we will have a big order."

"We must seize the opportunity this time."

At this point, Li Hongfeng widened his eyes, "Really?"

"Not much."

Wu Zhexin on the side also brought it up. He knew what had happened to Yang Xiaotao in the past few days, and also knew that the man from the desert wanted to buy their plane.

But there’s no way this plane can be sold, at least not within the next ten years.

But Director Yang Youning said that he would help develop an aircraft, which is a big order.

Use other people's money to research your own aircraft.

Tsk tsk.

Only Yang Bu could come up with this idea.

Ring Ring Ring

The phone on the table suddenly rang. Lou Xiaoe quickly picked it up and looked at Yang Xiaotao. "Minister Yang, it's Minister Qin's call."

Yang Xiaotao stood up and answered the phone, "Hello, Lao Qin, what's going on?"

"Xiao Yang, hahaha, good news, good news."

Qin Lao's proud voice came from the phone, and Yang Xiaotao knew that the matter was settled.

Sure enough, I heard Mr. Qin say on the phone, "Faisal just called me. After discussion, they agreed to our suggestion."

"They decided to fund us to help research new fighter jets."

"Good! This guy has finally made up his mind. It's worth it to accompany him for a whole day."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, and Li Hongfeng and Wu Zhe in the room also stood up with excitement on their faces.

"What did they say?"

Yang Xiaotao asked with concern, and Mr. Qin briefly explained what had happened.

"What Faisal meant was that they were willing to fund the research, but the aircraft they were researching couldn't be the same as the Baiju, but it couldn't be too bad either."

"What does it mean to not be too bad?"

"Well, the other party doesn't have a specific standard. Anyway, it's easy to say that it has to be better than ordinary aircraft."

"By the way, he said it's better than the Alliance's MiG-23, otherwise there's no need to research it, just go buy the MiG-23."

After Qin Lao finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao sneered, "Then let them buy it. Let's see if the United States will hold them accountable after they buy it."

Old Qin smiled, but still said, "Since the other party has proposed it, we have to follow this standard, otherwise they will not be willing to pay."

"I asked someone to look up information about the MiG-23. This is a new fighter jet that the Alliance just launched."

"The official information given by the Alliance is that it is a supersonic fighter with variable-sweep wings. However, this aircraft only has one engine, so the maximum speed given is only Mach 2.3, and the maximum ceiling is less than 20,000 meters. I think it is similar to the United States F4."

"It's our J-8. If we work hard, it will be easy to surpass it."

Old Qin said this very easily, and Yang Xiaotao didn't know where the other party got the confidence from.

You know, the J-8 was developed based on the J-7, and the J-7 is a better MiG-21. In this way, the J-8 is similar to the opponent's MiG-23.

What's more, the current J-8 is still a half-baked one.

Moreover, Yang Xiaotao was familiar with the MiG-23. Strictly speaking, this aircraft focused more on medium and low altitude combat.

At this height, even Baiju might not be able to gain an advantage.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao would not compare his own shortcomings with his strengths.

"Okay, we'll discuss this later."

"OK!"

Qin Lao agreed immediately, and then whispered, "Xiao Tao, for this aircraft design research, you see, we also have people in logistics."

"Do you need help over there?"

Yang Xiaotao knew what he meant as soon as he heard it, but he didn't refuse.

The cake is big enough that if one person eats it, he will easily be envied.

"That's great. Strength lies in numbers. Maybe we can finish it sooner."

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao agreed, Mr. Qin's voice became louder again, and his laughter could be heard through the phone by everyone in the office.

"Don't worry, when the time comes, use all your strength. If anyone dares not to listen to me, I will cut him down!"

"Then let's make it like this."

"It's a deal. It's a deal."

Old Qin was happy, "Let's cooperate sincerely this time and make money from the desert."

"Oh, by the way, they have a request."

Qin Lao continued, "They will arrange some technical personnel to come and participate in the study this time. You are on your side."
