Scholars in the courtyard

Even so, after this exchange, there were more contacts between the steel rolling mill and factories in various places.

I heard from Xu Yuanshan that many factories have already contacted each other by phone, and we can communicate with each other in the future.

"We have also seen that the comrades in the exchange group study hard and carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of fatigue or hardship. The female comrades, in particular, are more worthy of praise."

bang bang bang

Applause rang out from time to time, but the leader was still not satisfied.

Looking at the people in the audience, Lao Huai was pleased and lamented the difficulty of national industrial construction.

"It is not easy for our industry to develop, comrades."

"...If you fall behind, you will be beaten!"

"What is steel? It's the country."

The big leader said, and the people in the audience listened solemnly, feeling that national construction and industrial construction still have a long way to go.

The big leader talked about the current situation again. Not to mention others, even Yang Xiaotao, a time traveler, felt heartbroken after hearing this.

Although it is clear that future generations will gradually become rich and powerful, at this time, the road ahead is still unclear.

Everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones.

You might take the wrong path, but that's a bloody lesson.

Yang Xiaotao was lost in thought when he suddenly saw the big leader's gaze coming towards him.

Then I heard the leader's joyful voice.

"Here, taking this opportunity, I want to announce something."

Everyone listened with rapt attention, including a few people in the front row, wanting to hear what was going on.

"Since the establishment of the steel rolling mill, many outstanding talents have emerged, and they have made important contributions to the steel rolling mill."

"Today, the person I am going to talk about is one that everyone has known and understood over the past few days."

"That is, Comrade Yang Xiaotao."

Yang Xiaotao was stunned immediately.

Yang Xiaotao was stunned, not expecting to praise him by name here.

The people around him looked at him, causing him to straighten his back unconsciously.

Liu Daming, who was beside him, realized something and suddenly whispered cheerfully, "Boy, prepare to treat me to a drink."

On the stage, the big leader was still talking, and the eyes of the people around him kept shifting between Yang Xiaotao and the big leader.

"Today, I am here to award Comrade Yang Xiaotao the honorable engineer certificate."

"I hope Comrade Yang Xiaotao can continue to work hard for the steel rolling mill, the people, and the country."

bang bang bang

There was constant applause in the auditorium. Yang Xiaotao stood up in the eyes of everyone, walked on the stage with calm but excited steps, and came to the side of the big leader.

At this time, the big leader held a certificate in his hand, which was red and yellow in color and bright.

"Congratulations, Comrade Yang Xiaotao."

"Thank you for your trust! Thank you for the country's training! Thank you for the care of the factory leaders..."

Yang Xiaotao looked excited and kept saying words of thanks. The senior leaders were also satisfied after seeing him.

The issuance of the certificate this time was not a temporary decision, but was planned since yesterday.

The three people who came to the steel rolling mill to study did not hold high positions but were very special. They were the kind who could meet and talk to their superiors.

The three of them spoke highly of Yang Xiaotao, and even admired Yang Xiaotao's abilities.

Naturally, his superiors found out about this matter, together with the maintenance of the rolling mill and the machine repair shop, so he asked his secretary to call him directly.

Only then did the big leader issue the certificate in public.

Of course, this is what he wants. There is no need to hide such a young talent of the Republic.

Yang Xiaotao never thought that he would become an engineer like this.

Although I was definitely able to become an engineer, after all, the merit was there, but I couldn't help but feel excited when I suddenly appeared and became an engineer.

Ding……

A system voice sounded in his heart, and Yang Xiaotao felt comfortable and finally completed.

But at this time, he had no time to care. He held the certificate in his hand, held the big leader's hand, and kept thanking him.

There was thunderous applause from the audience.

Exchange team members from all over the world have long been impressed by Yang Xiaotao's ability these days. He can understand everything they don't understand. They learn so quickly, and it also has to do with the way he teaches.

Connect theory with practice.

Find problems and expand.

Yang Xiaotao's deeds in the steel rolling mill are even more well-known. Needless to say, the youngest eighth-level worker can find the problem in the machine repair shop by just drawing a circle with two strokes. They have to accept this ability.

Now that Yang Xiaotao has become an engineer, he will only feel that this is worthy of his ability. Otherwise, he would be an eighth-level fitter, and the gap would be too big.

Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin looked at each other, happy and helpless at the same time.

Yang Xiaotao became an engineer, so naturally he could no longer be stationed at the steel rolling mill as he is now.

Engineers are needed in more places and have more tasks to undertake.

Fortunately, they had the foresight to have a R\u0026D team leader and the hard work of the steel rolling mill. This passion was enough for Yang Xiaotao to treat the steel rolling mill as his home field.

In comparison, Xu Yuanshan was even happier, and Wang Guodong in the back was so stunned that his hands were numb from clapping, and he even winked at Sun Guo.

Look, look, it's from our third workshop.

Sun Guo felt disgusted and was too lazy to pay attention to this fool.

Yi Zhonghai felt mixed emotions in his heart as he watched Yang Xiaotao stand on the stage and receive everyone's attention and praise.

In the crowd, Lou Xiao'e looked at Yang Xiaotao under the light, feeling disappointed, but then quickly recovered.

Women can also hold up half the sky.

Yu Haitang also looked at Yang Xiaotao, but the expectation in his heart was not as enthusiastic as before in these days of communication. The outside world is very vast.

She is still young.

You cannot hang yourself from a tree.

After Yang Xiaotao accepted the certificate, he stepped down from the stage and went to his seat. Naturally, people around him burst into congratulations.

Pang Guo even grabbed it and took a look at it, feeling comforted in his heart, "It's no different from ours."

"Yes, there is no difference in the certificate, but there is a difference in the person who issued the certificate."

Chen Bin finished his attack, and Pang Guo's face froze, "Old Chen, don't leave later. I won't be able to do it unless I drink you down tonight."

"I'm afraid of you!"

Chang Mingjie suddenly felt relieved. Now that he was no longer the youngest engineer, this title put too much pressure on him.

Finally let it go.

The meeting quickly came to an end, but the exchange did not end there.

After the meeting, the steel rolling mill organized a dinner.

Soon everyone moved to the cafeteria.

At this time, the canteen was picked up by the logistics staff, and the tables were put together with two plates of melon seeds and peanuts on them. They were all good things in the eyes of everyone.

As for the drinks, one bottle per table is already of a high standard, nothing more.

After Yang Xiaotao and others arrived, they sat down under the arrangement, and then the kitchen staff began to serve the dishes.

Zhang Qingjun is still in charge, and the food naturally tastes good. It not only allows the workers who came to communicate with each other to feel the sincerity of the steel rolling mill, but also shows its strength without extravagance and waste.

This made the canteen director very satisfied.

As the polite words continued to be exchanged, the relationship between the two heated up rapidly.

If I need any help in the future, I will be able to ask easily if I need it.

Yang Xiaotao sat with Pang Guo and the others. After the leader at the main table finished speaking, the group began to drink and mingled.

After three glasses of wine, the scene became intense.

Especially after the leader left, the atmosphere at the scene became even more lively.

It is not easy to get together from all over the world. Some people may only meet once in this life. Of course, they may not be called by their names next time they meet.

But being able to meet him is a kind of fate.

Yang Xiaotao also kept walking around in the bustle, saying hello to familiar people.

"Gong Yang!"

"Hello, we are from Jinyang Iron and Steel Plant! My name is Hu Yuan."

"My name is Li Jin."

"Hello."

The two people walked up to Yang Xiaotao and introduced themselves, and Yang Xiaotao responded quickly.

Jinyang, Shanxi?

"Hello, Mr. Yang, congratulations on becoming an engineer."

"Thanks!"

Yang Xiaotao said a few polite words, and then the two of them explained their intentions.

"Mr. Yang, we heard that you can repair machines. I wonder if you have any contact with steel-making equipment?"

"Steelmaking equipment? We really don't have this."

The two looked at each other, and Li Jin from behind took over the topic, "It's like this. The equipment used in our factory was purchased from Germany by the Shanxi warlords before liberation. Although the equipment is outdated and old, it is still a good thing for us. .”

Yang Xiaotao nodded. The machines in their steel rolling mill are also old. Are they continuing to shine on the road of revolution?

"There is a converter in our factory that has been working well, but before winter, it suddenly broke down. Our factory even lost three comrades for this..."

Li Jin's words were a little low, but Yang Xiaotao could understand that these days, workers are said to be the most glorious, but they are also the most dedicated because they all have a sense of mission on their shoulders.

"You want me to try it?"

Yang Xiaotao spoke for them, and both of them nodded, "Our factory director has called many people, but they can't fix it. Even if we asked the experts from Mao Xiong to look at it, they would just shake their heads."

"Of course they shook their heads. Although our machines are old, they are made in Germany and are as easy to use as their current machines."

Hu Yuan said angrily on the side, but Li Jin did not refute.

"If you have time, we hope you can come to Jinyang."

The two of them announced the invitation, but Yang Xiaotao was not in a hurry to agree.

In this day and age, Jinyang is so far away, so it's not easy to go there. Besides, his current status is different. He was targeted by the spies last time. Whether he can go or not depends on the opinion of the steel rolling mill.

"If necessary, you can contact the steel rolling mill. I have no objection."

When the two of them saw this, they both nodded. In their hearts, Yang Xiaotao was the backup option, and they might not be able to fix it when they go back this time.

The two left, and someone came over. Yang Xiaotao didn't show up and spoke politely.

Soon, there were more and more people around, and the questions asked changed from the heating stove to other fields. Yang Xiaotao talked about what he knew, and listened carefully to what he didn't know.

"Gong Yang, I'm from Quancheng..."

…

"Gong Yang, this heater is great in our Bingcheng."

"We can get more than 20 degrees below zero during the day, but it gets even colder at night. Many factories can't work at all..."

"Fortunately, there is a stove... By the way, Mr. Yang, we don't need to pay much attention to this heating stove, right?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the bold man in front of him, thought for a moment and then spoke.

"If the temperature is very low, you need to pay attention to the water tank. If the heater is not practical, be sure to drain the water."

"Otherwise, the heater will easily freeze."

After hearing this, the man suddenly woke up and nodded quickly to remember it in his mind.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao quickly pointed out the shortcomings, the people around him all told their own situations. Yang Xiaotao did not refuse and spoke kindly.

At nine o'clock in the evening, people from the exchange group began to leave. Some people were close to Sijiu City and could leave tomorrow.

But it's a long way, so I have to take the train tonight. They also wanted to go back as soon as possible. It was still cold now, so the heater could be manufactured as soon as possible so that it could be used earlier.

Of course, most of these heating furnaces are used in factories. After all, steel is used in national construction.

As for household heating stoves, people would probably only spend this money in places like Sijiucheng.

After seeing off the exchange group, Yang Xiaotao left the steel rolling mill with Wang Guodong and others.

The sky was dark and the moonlight was cold.

Yang Xiaotao drank a lot and did not ride a bicycle after leaving the steel rolling mill. He just drove the car back slowly.

When we returned to the courtyard, the doors and windows in the entire courtyard were closed, and everyone was hiding from the cold at home.

Yang Xiaotao entered the room, first turned on the stove, then washed his face and lay on the bed.

Only then did Yang Xiaotao have time to carefully check the system prompts.

View tasks.

"Activation mission: The host becomes a ninth-level engineer."

"Task reward: Activate the engineer's main skill."

"Congratulations to the host. After hard work, you have become a level nine engineer. The task has been completed. Do you want to activate it?"

Without hesitation, Yang Xiaotao immediately chose to activate.

In an instant, a burst of electricity passed through Yang Xiaotao's body, making his whole body numb and extremely comfortable.
