Scholars in the courtyard

The next day, Yang Xiaotao told Yang Youning about the enrollment expansion. In principle, Yang Youning had no objection, but in fact, he asked Yang Xiaotao to wait.

At least, wait until July is over and the first batch of orders are handed in.

Yang Xiaotao thought about it and understood what Yang Youning meant.

I'm just afraid that something unexpected might happen, so I want to stabilize things first.

Yang Xiaotao said nothing more about this, and then said that he would go back to the farm in two days.

Yang Youning heard about yesterday's incident from Chen Gong and also knew that the corn matter was important, so he agreed without further questioning.

Yang Xiaotao thought that after the full moon of the Dragon Boat Festival passed and Ran Qiuye was out of confinement, he would go back with his wife and children.

As for the mother-in-law, she has been busy for a month and it’s time to rest.

Back at the warehouse, Yang Xiaotao checked the delivery status.

Nowadays, the fleet has heavy transportation tasks and daily tasks, so the transportation must be arranged and scheduled well.

Originally, he didn't need to worry about this matter, the logistics people could do it well.

But the last time it was transported to Northwest China, there was a lot of trouble.

Either the front of the car bumped while loading the car, or one of the rear buckets fell off halfway. Fortunately, passers-by reminded him in time, so there was no major loss.

After this incident, the work of tractor transportation became Yang Xiaotao's business.

Arriving outside the warehouse, Lou Xiaoe was checking the numbers with Captain Liu of the team with a notebook.

Yang Xiaotao came over and took a look. This shipment included some from Shanxi Province and some from Shaanxi Province.

The two shipments are to be separated and sent to different trains.

"Section Chief, there is no problem with the quantity. We are waiting for delivery now."

Lou Xiao'e saw Yang Xiaotao coming over and reported quickly.

"But I'm worried about the journey, so I plan to follow him to the train station."

Lou Xiao'e said, looking at Yang Xiaotao.

This was what she thought of herself, just to make sure nothing went wrong.

As long as the cars are installed at the train station, there will be no problem with the quantity. If there is a problem at the destination, it will be a transportation problem.

"OK!"

Yang Xiaotao thought for a while and then agreed, "You have done a good job and thought comprehensively. In the future, our logistics team will need to recruit more people to ensure that there are no problems."

"Yes, thank you, section chief."

Lou Xiao'e smiled.

"Be careful on the road."

After a few words of explanation, Lou Xiaoe left with the convoy, and Yang Xiaotao returned to the workshop to continue working.

Time passed slowly in this busyness, and another week passed in a flash, and it was early July.

It's almost time to fall in, but the weather this year is ridiculously hot.

It hasn't even started yet, but it's already extremely hot in the workshop. There's no air conditioning in this day and age, not even electric fans.

In addition, the workshop was extremely stuffy, even though the windows were open, the heat generated by the machines was of no use at all.

What's more, it's so sweltering in Sijiu City, how can there be any wind?

In this environment, workers can only wipe their sweat while working.

The male workers were better off, but if they couldn't bear it they went shirtless, which was a huge pain for the female workers.

There is no other way, Yang Xiaotao can only ask the workers to reduce the labor intensity, while asking the logistics staff to bring more salt water to replenish the workers' energy.

The consequence of this is a rapid decline in production efficiency.

In the past, the daily production reached 12 or 3 units, but now it is extraordinary to be able to produce 10 units.

At the same time, Yang Xiaotao also thought about buying a few fans and putting them in the workshop.

It's just that these days, we need to be careful about electricity consumption. Everyone in the eleven steel rolling mills is busy working and it's too hot. How can we do anything special?

Moreover, the current domestic electric fans are all small. Even if they are placed in the workshop, they probably won't have much effect.

Unable to pull the wire, Yang Xiaotao could only focus on the steam engine.

It is also a power source. Yang Xiaotao thought that if the fan gear is installed on the steam engine, there will be wind as long as it rotates.

If you can't make an electric fan and it's too small to be useful, then make a big one. Anyway, there's nothing else like rolling steel, so scrap steel is still enough.

Thinking of this, while the workers were working in the sweltering heat, Yang Xiaotao returned home, finished eating with his family, held his son around the house for a while, and then returned to the study to immerse himself in designing an electric fan.

After spending one night, Yang Xiaotao completed the modification of the steam engine design drawing and designed the fan at the same time.

The overall steam engine is one-third smaller than the one used in the well drilling machine, but it eliminates part of the complex structure and only needs to drive the rotor. Therefore, the volume is reduced, but because the requirements are lowered, it obtains more lasting power. .

As for the fan, Yang Xiao directly made three fan blades, fixed them together, and then embedded them into the steam engine.

It's just that each of the blades is one and a half meters long, and the total diameter of the three blades is more than three meters.

It looks like a large bellows with three blades installed on its head.

If you want to run it, it won't work without sufficient power, but once it is running, it can bring strong wind.

And for safety, Yang Xiaotao still added a cover outside.

Just when Yang Xiaotao finished designing the fan, a rising sound came in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the steam-powered fan design. The current system evaluation is good - next."

"Ding, congratulations to the host. Obtained 500 credits."

Two voices sounded, not only confirming the correctness of the design, but also awarding extra credits.

Since I was upgraded to an eighth-level engineer last time, my family has been busy at the factory and I have no time to read and earn credits.

The credits on the panel don't exceed three digits, and they are all earned by taking the time to read.

Now, with 500 credits in my account, I have gained a lot of weight.

I glanced at the items in the exchange column.

Toilet paper (1/pack), wet wipes (2/pack), sanitary napkins (5/pack), diapers (5/pack), diapers (10/pack)

Very good, very practical, and understands the owner's needs better.

Yang Xiaotao immediately started to 'consume'. Fortunately, sanitary napkins appeared these days. Although they were worse than the funeral, who would care about this difference after removing the trademark?

Women's things are hidden.

As for the children's diapers, the trademarks on them have also been changed. This system is very considerate and solves worries.

As for the child not needing it now and not dealing with the model in the future, Yang Xiaotao didn't care about this. Anyway, he was prepared.

After spending some time, I felt inexplicably comfortable, and then I went back to the bedroom to sleep.

As for the redeemed sanitary napkins, Yang Xiaotao placed them where Ran Qiuye put her clothes.

Lying on the bed, I pricked the little Dragon Boat Festival with stubble, and asked Xiaowei to let some air in to prevent the child from getting prickly heat.

Then he hugged his wife and went to sleep.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao came to the workshop with dark circles under his eyes and handed the drawings to Wang Fa.

Let them help build the fan first.

Wang Fa looked at the drawings and understood what they were, so he found a few people to start working. Yang Xiaotao walked up to Liu Daming, took over a semi-finished steam engine, and began to modify it.

Soon, everyone in the workshop knew that their director had designed a fan, a big one.

Many idle people came over to take a look. After Wang Fa put the welded fan on the wall and started to install the bearings, and at the same time added lubricating oil to it, everyone couldn't wait to see the three-meter-high fan blades.

By noon, Yang Xiaotao had completed the transformation of the steam engine.

After wiping the Han Shui on his head, Yang Xiaotao took a glass of cold water and poured it into his stomach. A thin layer of sweat broke out on his body.

A towel was handed over from the side, and Yang Xiaotao took it and wiped his face without looking at it.

When returning the towel, he discovered that it was a female worker from the workshop. She had some impression that her name was Han Liyan. Yang Xiaotao quickly said thank you.

"Director, you made a fan for everyone, it's us who should say thank you."

"That's right, Director, you can't be too outspoken. Everyone is waiting."

Everyone said that although Yang Xiaotao was not old, he was capable, and they were convinced.

"Okay, let's try it first."

"Carry it over."

Yang Xiaotao pointed to the steam engine, and Zhou Peng and others immediately came over to lift the machine.

Chen Bin has already decided on the place to place the electric fan. It is right at the innermost place, facing the door. The air blowing from here can span most of the workshop. If feasible, place another one on the other side to form an angle to ensure air circulation in the workshop. .

Everyone carried the steam engine to its placement location. The two-meter-high platform, which was originally the place where the crane was placed, was now cleared.

Without Yang Xiaotao's instructions, everyone put the steam engine on, fixed it with steel bars, and trapped it with wires several times.

After the fan is installed, water is added to burn the coal.

Because the steam engine is smaller, it does not take long.

As the steam engine worked hard, the driving wheel began to rotate, and the fan fixed in the middle of the wheel also rotated.

"It's windy, it's windy."

Zhou Peng, who was standing in front of the fan, shouted loudly. Although it was not big yet, he could already feel the coolness.

This is much more comfortable than that stuffy heat.

The fan with a diameter of nearly three meters started to rotate, and soon the blades became unclear, like an iron curtain lying across it.

"Come on, let me try."

Several people around him immediately stood forward, feeling the increasing wind force. They all howled happily, "It's so cool, so cool."

For a while, many people gathered in front, letting the wind blow their clothes to pieces. Several female workers pressed the collars hard and leaned forward while smiling.

"Okay, now that we have the fan, we have to work hard."

"You guys have to be worthy of the director's good intentions."

"Hahaha"

A group of people joked, but walked quickly to work.

Several workers working near the fan were working with their heads behind their backs, and they were really cold.

After a while, their arms were already cold. Several people looked at each other and decided to wear long sleeves tomorrow.

As for other places, because the air flow in the workshop is open, it is not so hot.

Seeing that the effect was good, Yang Xiaotao planned to build a few more units, so as to ensure normal production in the workshop.

Here Wang Fa continues to build fan blades, while Yang Xiaotao concentrates on building steam engines.

During lunch, word got out about the fan in the 11th workshop. For a while, many people were sitting in front of the fan with their lunch boxes, eating while it was blowing.

Yang Xiaotao was eating in the restaurant, and Zhang Qingjun's big pot of rice was becoming more and more delicious.

No wonder No. 2 Canteen has become the most popular canteen in the factory.

Just after taking two bites, he felt that there were people sitting next to each other, and the temperature rose instantly, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

He turned around and glanced, "Uncle Wang, Uncle Sun, you haven't eaten yet."

Wang Guodong and Sun Guo didn't have lunch boxes in their hands. When Yang Xiaotao asked, they both looked embarrassed.
