Scholars in the courtyard

In the evening, Shazhu and Xu Damao were resting against a nearby earthen wall, and from time to time the sound of the two swatting mosquitoes could be heard.

In the afternoon, when Yang Xiaotao saw the bombed-out machine, he was so angry that he swore obscenities, and his hatred for the little devils and traitors increased again. Then he called a few people in and moved the machine out.

Of course, they were useless alone. Sun Guo asked some people to help, and they moved and dragged them. Only then in the evening were six machines that could be seen were taken out.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao checking the machine there, Silhu was filled with hatred.

If Yang Xiaotao hadn't been such a troublesome guy, would they have had to suffer?

How nice it is to stay in the toilet and enjoy the cool air!

It's just that they can't refuse. In this labor camp, you are dependent on someone else, and you have to do whatever you ask!

Thinking of this, he glanced at Xu Damao who was lying down tiredly beside him. Silly Zhu grinned and said, "Si Mao, with your body, how can you still give birth to a son? Just dream."

Xu Damao was too lazy to pay attention to Silly Zhu. This bastard could still talk. He was truly worthy of being a cook and had stolen a lot of food.

"Shamao, I'm talking to you. Is your wife too tired to have any energy? If not, don't hold on, there's no chance!"

"Silly Zhu, keep your mouth clean!"

"Hey, Shamao, can you wait? Three minutes? Or five minutes?"

"You, Silly Zhu, you are a bitch. No matter how bad I am, I still have a wife, unlike you who spend your life picking up what others left behind."

boom

Oops

On the side, Yang Xiaotao and others heard the commotion and saw Sha Zhu riding on Sha Mao and raising his fist to greet him. Director Lu wanted to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Sun Guo.

He has long been accustomed to the behavior of these two people. From the courtyard to the steel rolling mill, he never stopped.

Just fight, you have to be measured anyway, as long as you don't die.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Yang Xiaotao and continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

It's best not to provoke him if you can at the moment.

"Gong Liu, Gong Pang, let's see which piece can be used."

Yang Xiaotao walked around the machine twice and felt heartbroken when he looked at the equipment that was brought out.

This stupid little devil was so ruthless. The good machine was blown to pieces, and important parts were missing. I don’t know whether it was blown up or lost.

A beast that harms others without benefiting oneself.

I was mentally cursing, but also a little scared.

What if it really doesn’t exist, or it’s blown to pieces and can’t be used?

I walked up to the two of them and looked at them one by one, feeling a little expectant.

These machines were damaged by bombs and were exposed to wind and rain for so many years, so they were extremely rusty.

But there is no rust in some places, and when washed with water, the original color of the steel is revealed. Obviously this is not ordinary steel.

"You stupid little devil, you really know how to pick a good place to blow up, and you just blew this good thing into two halves."

Pang Guo pointed to a fracture, and Yang Xiaotao looked at it. It was a half-inch steel plate, which seemed to be an alloy.

"this is?"

"Definitely is!"

Pang Guo said categorically, and then became a little worried, "We still have to take it apart to see how much is left inside."

"This should be a small stamping machine. You're a bastard and don't do human work."

Liu Daming watched for a while, confirming the type of machine.

Then he pointed at the other two odd-looking machines, "These two look a bit like grinders and boring machines. They were pretty good things at the time!"

"pity!"

Liu Daming sighed with emotion.

However, Yang Xiaotao's expression was filled with excitement, and he quickly said to Sun Guo, "Uncle Sun, call the steel rolling mill and pull all the cars back."

He has found something now!

Sun Guo nodded. He also learned some information from Yang Xiaotao. This time he came to find these things to seize materials.

Now it seems that I should have found it.

Sun Guo nodded and ran to the office, picked up the phone and called Yang Youning.

Soon, Yang Youning personally ran to the convoy, ordered three trucks, pulled another car of people to help, and rumbled to the first branch factory.

"What, are you sure?"

When Yang Youning arrived, Yang Xiaotao had already disassembled it on site, and some useless items were thrown aside to make it easier to carry.

Besides, the steel rolling mill was demolished at that time, so it was the same everywhere.

"It's useful, but we have to take it apart to see the specific shape. It would be nice if there was a big piece."

Yang Xiaotao was in a good mood, and he even breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Finally, he no longer had to modify the drawings.

"As long as it works, move it, move it all to the car!"

Yang Youning called on the people to work, and it was better to pull this thing back.

So a group of people loaded their things into the car and drove back to the rolling mill.

By the time we returned to the rolling mill, unloaded the truck and moved it to the warehouse, it was already past ten o'clock.

Many people in the warehouse had not yet left, so Yang Xiaotao asked people to prepare dinner and arranged for help. It seemed that they were going to dismantle it overnight.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was in high spirits, everyone also started to move. Many people who were preparing to go home also chose to stay and help.

Outside the warehouse, Chen Gong and Yang Youning stood together with extremely solemn expressions.

"Old Yang, are these broken machines useful?"

"Who knows, I heard that some metal bumps can be used, but how to use it, it's hard to say!"

The two of them were not too optimistic. They were really hit hard.

The most unlikely problems have occurred, what else can't happen?

"How are you doing over there? Are you sent away?"

"Leaving in the afternoon."

"How's the stuff?"

"I tried it inside. It's good. It works."

Yang Youning nodded, "So, it's not that we can't do some things, but we don't need them, so we won't go back and do them!"

Chen Gong nodded, and then watched Yang Xiaotao direct people to clear the place and prepare to start work.

"This is the first time I have heard of these things in so many years."

Chen Gong sighed with emotion, and Yang Youning also nodded. "Who isn't?"

"Huh? What do you mean? You don't know about this?"

"Why should I know?" Yang Youning shook his head, "I only came a year earlier than you, and this is where I came at that time. How do I know those things?"

"Then how did his father know what Yang Xiaotao said?"

Yang Youning continued to shake his head, "Just understand the literal meaning. If you really want to dig deeper, there are only a few people who know this. Understand it."

Chen Gong understood instantly, "That's right, that person was contacted earlier than us, so it's not surprising to know this."

"Just follow what Yang Xiaotao said about this matter, and don't cause any complications."

"Also, let the people below be careful not to talk too much, just say that they will be dismantled and sold for scrap metal. Don't let the people above know, otherwise, this thing may not be saved!"

"OK!"

After speaking, they looked at the warehouse for a while, then turned and left.

Can't help here either!

After the two left, Yang Xiaotao and others had made preparations.

Two people were arranged to disassemble it. Liu Daming watched from the side, Zhang Guanyu was responsible for recording, and Yang Xiaotao was drawing pictures beside him.

This has become Yang Xiaotao's habit. Drawing down the parts that can be recorded may be useful in the future.

Everyone got busy, the lamps in the warehouse attracted moths from time to time, and the green lampshades made knocking sounds from time to time.

The next day, it was dawn, a little gloomy, but cool.

The lights were still on in the warehouse, and the dim light illuminated the people below.

Yang Xiaotao was sitting on a stool nearby, surrounded by several elderly people who were not young but full of energy.

After staying up all night, I finally dismantled all the machines.

Ahead, on the ground.

There are dismantled parts placed one by one. These parts are large and small, and some are complete.

It's as big as a washbasin, and it was also the biggest gain last night.

I won’t talk about the small ones, but throw the finger-sized ones into the box to see if they will be of use in the future.

There are also various shapes, most of which are plates, followed by pipes, and finally irregular lumps. I don’t know whether they were blown up like this or the original appearance.

However, after the unanimous judgment of several veteran workers, these things are the hardest parts of this batch of machines.

Later, Liu Daming and Pang Guo began to identify.

Judging from the color, hardness, and weight, it’s all dazzling to see.

Then someone looked for magnets, and after some tinkering, two piles were screened out.

In the end, people were asked to use grinding wheels to spark sparks one by one, and then it was confirmed.

Yang Xiaotao also learned a lot from the sidelines. The sparks produced by the grinding wheel are long and yellow, which is iron.

The sparks to be produced are short and bright, that is tungsten alloy!

Finally, after watching the selection of the remaining metals, the two of them decided that this was tungsten alloy.

It was confirmed that it was tungsten alloy, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, now we have the materials.

Chang Mingjie and Chen Bin, who then rushed to work, began to proofread the drawings to determine which piece should be used for which component, striving to complete the task with the least processing method and reduce waste.

After explaining to the two of them, Yang Xiaotao asked Liu Daming and others to rest.

At the end of the night, he felt sleepy.

A few of them ate something, including steamed buns and eggs, and didn't go home. They just found a place in the steel rolling mill to squint and take a rest.

When they wake up, they have to continue processing parts.

Yang Xiaotao returned to the office, put down his notebook, and then lay down on the table to sleep.

In the daze, when I woke up again, the room was dark, and there was a snapping sound behind me. It was already past ten in the morning, and my stomach protested again.

I stood up and moved my body, then looked out the window. Large amounts of rain fell from the window, leaving streaks of water.

I found a few chocolate candies from the space, stuffed them into my mouth and chewed them while holding up the umbrella and walked towards the warehouse.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the warehouse, I heard Chang Mingjie's voice coming from inside.

"This doesn't work, try a new one!"

Then I saw the guard Hou calling someone to lift a new "sword head" from the ground and step forward to replace it.

Yang Xiaotao walked inside, and just as he was about to say hello, he heard a harsh screeching sound. Yang Xiaotao frowned, and then walked in to check the situation.

At this time, someone saw Yang Xiaotao and quickly got out of the way.

Hou Baobao came over and explained.

Yang Xiaotao also saw clearly what was going on.

On the workbench in front of him, a finger-sized piece of tungsten alloy was clamped and was being processed.

It's just that the "knife" that usually cuts iron like clay is twisted, especially the head, which is turned over.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Yang Xiaotao had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Team leader!"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao coming over, Chang Mingjie and others stepped forward to explain.

"This morning I asked my comrades to test the hardness of this tungsten alloy. As a result, there was a problem during this test!"

"Look, this thing is too hard."

"With the sharpeners we use now, it's impossible to cut, let alone process!"

Chang Mingjie pointed to the damaged "knife" with a helpless expression.

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and took off the piece of tungsten alloy and looked at it carefully. The cutting just left only a white mark on it. After wiping it with his hand, even the mark was gone.

In an instant, my mood sank to the lowest point.

"Have you tried all our whittling knives?"

"Needless to say the ones in China, this one is from the previous alliance, and it's made of special steel, so it's useless!"

The place was dull.

Most of the machines used in the steel rolling mill are produced by the alliance. If the alliance's machines are useless, then forget about the others.
