Scholars in the courtyard

Previously, people from the R\u0026D team asked Yang Xiaotao what kind of tractor they wanted to design.

Yang Xiaotao never gave an answer.

Now it's time to announce it.

In the office area of ​​the R\u0026D Department, Chen Bin and others were also thinking about what kind of tractor to make. After all, the power of the steam engine was not small, so it should be possible to make one like the one in the north.

It's just that Yang Xiaotao has never been sure, so they can only worry blindly.

Today, Yang Xiaotao is going to come up with his own design plan, which makes everyone look forward to it.

9 a.m., R\u0026D Department.

Yang Xiaotao stood in front, with a template behind him and several pieces of chalk beside him.

Next, the three teams from the R\u0026D Department are all here, with Chen Bin, Liu Daming and Wang Hao at the front.

As for the only member of the logistics team, Lou Xiaoe stood aside guarding the thermos bottle.

Everyone below had pens and papers in their hands, even the people in the security team.

They need to write down the key points of the meeting and be able to distinguish between those that are of great value and those that need to be protected.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, they won't even be able to tell which drawing is important, and they won't be able to save it!

As for the R\u0026D team and the technical team, their expressions were even more serious, as this was related to their success or failure.

Yang Xiaotao stood in front and began to draw pictures on the wooden board.

What he drew was a general appearance. As for the specific drawings, he would explain the requirements and require the joint efforts of the people below.

He could do it alone, but it would be a waste of time.

It's a collective effort, and when the time comes for him to integrate it, the credits will still be his.

After a while, the door opened, and Yang Youning and Xu Yuanshan walked in and sat aside.

They heard the news that Yang Xiaotao was going to come up with a plan today, and they wanted to come over and see what the first tractor of this steel rolling mill looked like.

If it's too ugly, that won't work.

After staring at the wooden board for a while, the two people saw that it was similar to the walking tractor imported back then, except that some places had been modified.

After Yang Xiaotao finished drawing, he nodded to the two of them, and then wrote the words "walking tractor" on the side.

"Comrades, this is what our R\u0026D Department is going to do, the 'walking tractor'!"

With that said, Lou Xiao'e stepped forward and handed the two drawings to Liu Yifile and Chen Bin.

"The 'walking tractor' I designed must have the following advantages."

"First, it has sufficient power and is easy to operate. It can tow the truck body, install agricultural tools, carry cargo, and cultivate..."

"Second, save materials and save costs."

“Third, it’s easy to disassemble and repair.”

As Yang Xiaotao explained, everyone below began to record some specific parameters and calculate them after the meeting ended.

Liu Yifei and the others looked at the drawings and even considered how to turn the parts on the drawings into reality.

"Of course, this is just a preliminary design. There will definitely be various deficiencies in it, and this requires us to continue to improve."

"What is sent to you is an incomplete design drawing. The main requirements have been determined. The transmission system, balancing mechanism and other aspects are not perfect. This is also the goal of everyone's work in the coming time."

“Using existing domestic designs and foreign designs to make what we need.”

Yang Xiaotao continued to arrange tasks for everyone, and Chen Bin below felt a lot of pressure.

A week is a bit tight.

After the meeting, everyone started to take action.

Liu Yifei took the finalized drawings and went to a workshop to start manufacturing.

Chen Bin took people to check the information. When the time came, he would have to change the data and calculate whether it was suitable.

Finally, Yang Youning and Xu Yuanshan called out Yang Xiaotao.

"It's been almost a month, and the tractor hasn't been implemented yet. I think you shouldn't be impatient. Take your time and be sure to be steady."

Yang Youning was worried that Yang Xiaotao's eagerness for success would cause losses and even undermine military morale.

The same is true for Xu Yuanshan.

The meeting just now was basically just Yang Xiaotao's speech. The other people in the R\u0026D department were more like part-time workers, working under Yang Xiaotao's guidance.

Without democratic discussion and collision of ideas, how can there be a spark of miracle?

This seems sloppy no matter how you look at it.

But they had no other choice. When they first started this project, the only person they relied on was Yang Xiaotao.

If Yang Xiaotao, an engineer, can't do it, the steel rolling mill won't be able to find anyone else.

Therefore, even though they thought Yang Xiaotao was a bit arbitrary, they didn't say anything.

No one can tell them not to understand.

Besides, that walking tractor looks good too.

It's just the name, it's lacking a bit.

"Director, don't worry."

"This machine has been designed, so there must be no problem."

Yang Xiaotao still has confidence. As long as the system gives credits, it means that the design is correct.

This is much stronger than any test or calculation.

The reason why the members of the R\u0026D team are asked to do the calculations is to let them know their abilities and establish their prestige.

"As long as you know what's going on. For other things, if you need us, just ask."

Yang Xiaotao nodded and the two left.

Back in the office, Yang Xiaotao picked up the drawings and walked to the workshop.

Arriving at the first workshop, Liu Daming was organizing people to analyze the drawings.

This time I got the chassis.

As a support for other parts of the tractor, if you want to support the steam engine and other components, the requirements for the chassis are not low.

In particular, the steam engine was large, twice as large as the diesel engine and water tank of later generations, and was naturally heavier.

To provide stability, the design of the chassis must be strengthened.

Design-wise, the chassis consists of the frame, wheels, tires and suspension.

Among them, suspension is the most complicated.

"This suspension refers to the structure of Jiangcheng Small Tractor Factory and the adjusted data."

"You should pay attention here..."

Yang Xiaotao explained it to everyone to make it easier for everyone to operate.

While Yang Xiaotao was explaining, not only the members of the technical team were listening, but also many people in the workshop were watching, and even Sun Guo was also joining in the fun.

One workshop now produces two types of steam engines, one for well-drilling machines, and the other is currently being installed on a walking tractor.

One-third of the order for 100 well-drilling machines issued by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has been completed. Once this is done, the next focus will be on tractors.

If you don’t listen carefully now, what will you do next?

And he also heard rumors that the production of this tractor might be separated into an eleventh workshop.

This is no small matter.

The one who is near the water and the tower first gets the moon, and he seizes the opportunity.

After a while, Liu Yifei led his men to start processing. Yang Xiaotao watched from the side and pointed out problems from time to time.

After a busy afternoon, Yang Xiaotao returned to the office, drank water, and thought about whether he had missed anything.

After Lou Xiao'e got off work, Yang Xiaotao got up and walked to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Qin Huairu can already get out of bed and walk around.

Although it is said to be confinement, how can there be so much time for them these days?

This is still in the city. If we were in the countryside, it would be good to have three to five days of rest when we get busy.

Now, she is satisfied.

Holding the little locust flower, I sat in front of my house and basked in the sun.

Jia Zhang had a smile on her face.

In her heart, as long as Qin Huairu is of the same mind as her.

Of course, it is best to give her some pension money.

In the yard, Bangge and Xiaodang were playing. They had a sister. They had an extra "toy" in the house, and they would have a playmate in the future.

"Have you heard? Yang Xiaotao's tractor came out. It seems to be something serious."

In the yard, a worker in a workshop was bragging to the people next to him.

In the past, the people who could raise their heads the most in this courtyard were those from the third workshop, because Yang Xiaotao was from the third workshop. This group of people followed Yang Xiaotao and their mouths were full of oil. The heating stove is still working now, and orders from the border areas are all lined up. It’s winter this year.

People in the third workshop felt superior to others in this courtyard. Later, several people in the eighth workshop also stood up and became another supporter behind Yang Xiaotao.

Now, haha.

Finally it was the turn of the people in their workshop.

With the help of the well-drilling machine, they benefited from following behind.

There will be a big project like tractor in the future, and the good days in the future are just around the corner.

"Tch, it seems like no one knows."

"That's right, it's not you. Why are you so proud?"

The two people next to him started to fight back against a whole room of people.

They are not afraid of this person. Don't think that those who take advantage of Section Chief Yang are Section Chief Yang's people.

For those of you who have joined them in the early years, you can only stay in the back row.

No one in the workshop was upset, "Haha, I'm just happy for Section Chief Yang."

"To say that our Section Chief Yang is really amazing. We have reached this point in just a few years. It's really amazing..."

"Now I know, weren't you very proud of following the uncle earlier?"

The people in the third workshop were provocative, and the people in the first workshop immediately jumped up and said, "No way, don't talk nonsense."

"When did I follow Mr. Yi? Who followed Yi Zhonghai? We are all revolutionary comrades. Don't talk nonsense about things that don't happen."

Those in workshops three and eight stood up, and those gathered around also laughed after hearing this.

Everyone has heard that Sun Guo, the director of the first workshop, has begun to suppress Yi Zhonghai. Many people around Yi Zhonghai are considering the gains and losses.

Although it has not affected them yet, no one in this courtyard is stupid, not even Silly Zhu.

Needless to say, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, someone immediately started talking about it.

Several people laughed and talked about the bright future together.

"You can't go wrong by following Section Chief Yang."

The sound spread, and the expressions of Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu, who walked in together through the Chuihua Gate, changed.

Everyone didn't shy away from it and continued talking.

Silly Zhu gasped angrily, looked at everyone angrily, then cursed and returned home.

The same was true for Yi Zhonghai. There was no anger on his face, but his heart was already filled with ups and downs.

Even Qin Huairu, who was standing at the door, didn't look carefully and closed the door when she got home.

Qin Huairu felt disappointed when she saw that Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu were not as enthusiastic as before.

After returning home with the child in her arms, there was discussion outside the door again.

But this time, the topic of discussion turned to her.

There was a faint message about replacing Jia Dongxu at work.

Qin Huairu suddenly felt hope rising in her heart.

As long as she can enter the steel rolling mill, she will have a chance.

When Yang Xiaotao returned home, he was not busy with work as usual. Instead, he cut leeks from the yard, took out the pig head meat from the space, took a bottle of wine, and started cooking.

After a while, the meal was ready, and Yang Xiaotao drank by himself to soothe his nerves.

Xiaowei was jumping on the table, coming out and flying out. The yard was full of green.

Tomatoes, cabbage and other vegetables and fruits have begun to grow, and cucumbers are almost ripe. It won't take long, with Xiaowei's efforts, to become a conspicuous color in the courtyard.

After eating, Yang Xiaotao went to bed early to recuperate and continue tomorrow.

As for the difficulties at work, the road has been paved and the goals have been set. The next step is to move forward together towards the goals and kick away the difficulties that stand in the way.

It’s not that Yang Xiaotao doesn’t contribute. If you give him enough time, he can wrap up all the designs by himself, but that would take too much time.

Instead of fighting alone, it is better to let your subordinates work together.

With the collective efforts, I believe it won’t be long before the drawings of the walking tractor can be made.
