Scholars in the courtyard

Hearing what Chang Mingjie said, Yang Xiaotao became even more nervous.

"Is there any other way?"

"There are several factories in Sijiucheng that can process it, but they all use products from the alliance, which is similar to us."

Chang Mingjie explained, while Chen Bin nodded. The two of them often travel on business and are aware of the surrounding things.

"Then, it can't be processed in China?"

The two looked at each other and shook their heads.

"We don't know either!"

"However, some large machine tool factories should have it."

Immediately, everyone fell silent.

When there was no material, they looked for it.

Now the materials have been found, but the knife doesn't work.

Really, good things come hard!

"First sort out the materials and components. Regarding the knife, I'll go find someone to figure it out."

Yang Xiaotao said calmly, perhaps because he had experienced the tungsten alloy incident, Yang Xiaotao was fully prepared.

As for whether there is a suitable knife, since cutting and processing can be done abroad, there must be a way.

I just don’t know if it is available in China.

Union, office.

The bald man enjoyed the afternoon sunshine while admiring his masterpiece.

Each photo, the blood on it was taken by him carefully choosing the angle. Every time he looked at it, he felt hungry.

dong dong

A knock on the door interrupted the bald man's narcissism.

In a good mood, he used the word "please" to let the people waiting outside the door relax a little.

"Please come in!"

"Comrade Chief, this is information about China."

"Our comrades discovered that the other party's troops in the northwest region were making secret arrangements, and we suspected that they were making moves."

The visitor said respectfully that Huaxia has been doing a lot recently. First, it launched two products and earned a lot of alliance coins. Later, when they were not paying attention, it bought a lot of equipment and was sent back to the country by them, which angered their superiors. very unhappy.

Therefore, we are particularly concerned about collecting information from China during this period.

"Northwest? That desolate barren land?"

The bald man looked at the information above and frowned slightly.

"What's going on with those two pots now!"

After the visitor heard this, he immediately took out a document from the folder.

"Chief."

"This is the latest report. According to the alliance's requirements, we will severely crack down on smuggling and prohibit any unofficial transactions."

"If you want to enter a franchised country, you must purchase it from the government of the franchised country. Of course, the price will be very low."

""

The bald man looked at the document, which detailed the measures taken during this period. Sales of Huaxia's two pressure cookers were declining rapidly.

"The idiot finally got smart for once."

"Let our people be aware that these franchise countries are used to playing tricks. Don't let them spoil good things in private."

"Okay, Comrade Chief."

The bald man nodded and then asked, "Do you think China's recent actions in the northwest have any purpose?"

The visitor was silent for a moment and replied sincerely, "I'm sorry, Comrade Chief, I can't guess."

"However, according to intelligence, the northwest area of ​​the opponent is an area where high-yield corn is grown, and a large number of people are guarding it. This should be a preventive measure."

When it comes to breeding high-yielding corn, the bald man sneers inwardly.

Others don’t know, so he doesn’t know?

His subordinates personally completed the task, and the seeds stolen from China were processed by the leader and became hope corn for internal research in the alliance.

It is simply treating others as fools, when in fact you are the fool.

However, the image brought by this "hope" corn is far from that. Just as they are trying their best to protect, their opponents are also desperately trying to destroy it.

With this rare opportunity, he really dug out a few internal nails.

The most serious one actually managed to get close to an alliance minister and became his lover.

It's just rampant.

"It is indeed necessary to protect corn."

The bald man nodded and then looked through other information.

Suddenly stopped on a certain piece of paper.

"Are you sure what it says?"

The man looked at it and then nodded, "The information is accurate. The other party did not deliberately hide it. They are searching for it all over the country, and there is a lot of movement."

"really? Haha!"

The bald man sneered, "Look, even if you give them the model, they can't make it."

Then he sat upright and kept tapping his fingers on the table, tapping in the same rhythm as the clock on the wall.

"You said, what will they do if they can't find what they need in the country?"

"Chief, since we can't find it in the country, we will divert our attention."

The bald man smiled, "So, they are making trouble here in the northwest because they want to play the same trick again and get alloys from the participating countries."

"That's it, that's definitely the case."

"A mother bed that can improve the industrial level is completely worth their investment."

The bald man stood up from his seat and walked around the office for a while, "Let our people keep an eye on them and never give the Chinese people any chance."

"At the same time, pay close attention to the machine tool in the northwest and find a way to destroy it! In this way, their development ambitions will be defeated."

"As ordered, Comrade Chief."

The man was about to leave after receiving the order, but he still asked, "Chief, the original plan to sabotage their research and development work, will you continue?"

"Destruction? No, no need. If they don't have the right materials, even if they make it, it's just an ordinary machine tool. Let them go to the dark side on this crooked road, and then they realize that they have gone wrong. Isn't it interesting? ?”

"Understood, I praise your wisdom!"

The man bowed and bowed, then stepped out.

The bald man took a deep breath and then turned his gaze to the other side of the ocean.

After a long time, he looked to the side. That was the core of the entire alliance!

"Alyosha, you must seize this opportunity!"

Looking at the photos hanging on the wall, his eyes turned cold.

"The Alliance doesn't need a leader who can only grow corn!"

…

After coming out of the warehouse, Yang Xiaotao thought about the worst-case scenario. If he really didn't have the right tools, he would settle for the next best thing.

After this incident, he also saw clearly that it was too much to aim too high.

Confidence is a good thing, but blind confidence is arrogance.

When doing things, you still have to take it step by step.

When Yang Xiaotao came to the office, the first thing he found was Chen Gong.

"What? It can't be processed?"

Chen Gong was also surprised. He saw so many alloy materials yesterday and thought there would be no problem. But the knife had problems again. It was really endless.

"I'll call and ask, don't worry."

"I know, there is still something to do in the warehouse. I will go and do it first. If you find out the result, please let me know."

After that, leave the office.

The moment he walked out of the office building, Yang Xiaotao looked up at the gloomy sky above his head. A dim curtain of rain fell from the sky, like a mist, covering the entire earth.

Holding up an umbrella, Yang Xiaotao walked step by step into the rain curtain with his head held high, stepping on the water splashes and not caring about the splashing rain.

In the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao did not go to the warehouse, but continued to modify the drawings in the office.

If there is no solution to the cutting problem in the end, revise the drawings beforehand and be prepared to start again.

Yang Xiaotao knows that there is no turning back when shooting a bow.

What's more, this code-named task has been assigned, and the results must be produced no matter what.

Although some tasks last for several years or even more than ten years, results can be achieved in the end.

But how many decades are there in a human life?

Yang Xiaotao didn't want to waste time, and couldn't afford to wait for such a long time.

Even the required six months seemed a bit long to him.

So even if the original plan cannot be executed, then make Plan B first, and then execute it when the conditions are met later.

Diving into drawings, redesigning, calculating, evaluating, and finalizing.

As night falls, it rains heavily outside.

Yang Xiaotao put away the drawings and finally locked them in the cabinet.

After getting up and leaving the office, there was no one in the corridor. Even Chen Gong, Yang Youning and the others had left early.

Yang Xiaotao went to the warehouse. Chen Bin and others were still doing calculations on site. When they saw Yang Xiaotao coming over to report their work.

"Everyone's progress has not been slow these days, especially the peripheral components. Because the core components cannot be produced, the progress is very fast."

"We expect that in another week, everything can be completed except for the parts that cannot be carried out."

As Chen Bin said, Zhang Guanyu and Chang Mingjie nodded.

Of course, this is expected under ideal conditions. If any problems arise again, it will be difficult to say.

"I'm revising the drawings now, so don't worry."

Yang Xiaotao thought for a while before speaking. After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, obviously they were all prepared for this.

"Did you resolve the welding incident last time?"

"It's solved. The quality of the newly delivered welding rods is up to standard. Our comrades quickly figured it out and have already welded the parts."

"That's good!"

After solving the welding problem, it can be regarded as less trouble.

The few of them talked for a while, and then they left the warehouse together and prepared to go home.

After leaving the steel rolling mill, Yang Xiaotao rode directly to Ran's house.

When he entered the house and saw Ran's mother cooking rice dumplings, and every household was busy making rice dumplings, Yang Xiaotao realized that the Dragon Boat Festival was coming.

Little Dragon Boat Festival is about to celebrate its birthday.

It’s been a busy year!

In the evening, after eating rice dumplings at Ran's house, Yang Xiaotao's family returned to the courtyard.

By the way, there was also a bag of cooked rice dumplings brought back. Ran Qiuye was pregnant with the child, and he was too busy to find anything, so naturally there was no time to make rice dumplings at home.

…

The next day, the Dragon Boat Festival.

It was still wet and rainy yesterday, but now the sun is shining brightly.

This June day is changing so fast.

The steel rolling mill had a day off, but Yang Xiaotao said goodbye to his family and came to work in the mill.

Of course, I will come back early in the evening to celebrate Dragon Boat Festival’s birthday.

After all, this is the first birthday of Dragon Boat Festival.

When we arrived at the steel rolling mill, the busy scene in the past seemed to have been put on pause. Except for people from the security department, there were very few people around.

When I came to the office, I saw Yang Youning and Chen Gong also coming, sitting in the office, their faces not good-looking.

Yang Xiaotao walked in, Chen Gong sighed, and instantly understood that the "knife" was not found.

"sit down!"

Yang Youning pointed to the chair beside him, and the three of them took out cigarettes and lit them.

After a while, Chen Gong spoke.

"I asked about it. Basically, the knives that can cut alloys are imported. There are few domestic companies with this capability."

"In Jinling in the south, I asked a few people in Shanghai. After they learned about the situation, they all shied away."

"You don't have to ask the other companies, they will definitely refuse."

Yang Xiaotao frowned, "Why, just use it and return it when the time comes."

Yang Youning said, "They are afraid that it will be worn out!"

"Is it worn out?"

Yang Xiaotao was very puzzled, and Chen Gong explained, "Their knives are more than ten years old, and they are usually precious. And to be honest, the ability to cut alloys is only theoretical, and even boasts. Of course it is not I’m willing to borrow it!”

"Of course, it also means precious."

Yang Youning interrupted with a sneer, "There are also two high-end machine tools I got from the northwest. I earned them from selling pots. It's good that they were given to Shanghai and Jiefang Automobile Factory. These two white-eyed wolves actually said they were still good. It’s not debugged properly.”

"Grandma, you're a jerk, don't ask me for help in the future!"

"I…"

Yang Xiaotao wanted to curse, but stopped and took two long puffs of cigarette.

The three of them were speechless again.

"In this case, let's start from scratch. The drawings have almost been changed anyway."

Yang Xiaotao said helplessly, and the three of them could only admit it.
