The rumbling sound of machines broke the usual silence. Bulldozers were rolling back and forth on the red soil, leaving patches of flat land behind their tracks. The pile driver gasped and drove the steel piles deeply into the ground.
Smashed into the foundation. Several cement mixing towers have been erected, with bags of cement piled up like hills next to them. There are markings made of white ash everywhere, and there are busy workers everywhere, making it a boiling scene.
Compared with the construction sites of later generations, the construction machinery here is slightly less, especially the large tower crane known as the "Chinese Crane", but in terms of the scale of the site, it is not inferior at all.
After receiving Qin Hai's formal application for establishing Anhe Materials College, the provincial government completed all the approval procedures as quickly as possible and allocated more than 5,000 acres of land in the Meiling Mountains to Qin Hai for only a nominal fee.
For the provincial government, the benefits that the School of Materials Science and Technology can bring to Anhe Province are far greater than the value of these 5,000 acres of land. In this era, hundreds of millions of funds can be spent to build a school at once
Among the people in the academy, Qin Hai is probably the only one in the whole country.
Qin Hai sent invitations to several construction companies in the province and immediately received a positive response. Due to the sluggish overall domestic economy, infrastructure has been greatly affected. The Materials College project is a good choice for major construction companies.
To provide help in times of need. Several major construction companies have dispatched their most elite engineering teams and brought various construction machinery to the site. Previously, Qin Hai had invited experts from the Provincial Planning and Design Institute to assist in completing the overall design of the entire college. The construction company
As soon as they were in place, they immediately carved out a piece for each and began intense construction.
Of course, Qin Hai would not build the entire college at once. He divided the construction work into several phases. In the first phase, in addition to building the walls and main roads of the entire college, the rest was only construction within an area of less than 500 acres.
Various buildings, including office buildings, experimental buildings, experimental workshops, dormitory buildings, boiler rooms, canteens, etc. Even so, the total investment is on the scale of 60 to 70 million.
Qin Hai's request to the CEOs of several construction companies is to ensure quality, quantity, and timeliness. He requires them to complete the construction tasks as quickly as possible without reducing quality, so that the School of Materials can complete the construction tasks as quickly as possible.
to operate within a period of time.
During this period of time, the materials experts from various places who were invited by Qin Hai have begun to go through the resignation procedures with their units. Now that they have decided to leave, they will not delay any longer. After all, Qin Hai promised them high salaries.
If you arrive a day earlier, you will get your money earlier. Who is willing to wait for such a thing?
The land allocated to Qin Hai includes a youth cadre college, an office building, two teaching buildings, more than a dozen student dormitories and staff dormitories, canteens, libraries, bathrooms, etc.
After completing the handover procedures, all the teachers and students of the Young Cadres Academy moved away. The free space allowed Qin Hai to accommodate the scholars who came in a hurry.
"Teacher Sun, you are here! Welcome!"
Seeing Sun Yuzhi's family getting off the bus, Qin Hai hurried forward to greet them and stretched out his hand to help Sun Yuzhi pick up the luggage.
Sun Yuzhi didn't have the nerve to ask Qin Hai for help. He grabbed the luggage and refused to let go, saying repeatedly: "It's not heavy, I can handle it myself."
"Teacher Sun, please give me your luggage..." Heizi came up with a few young workers. One by one, they took over the luggage of Sun Yuzhi and his family.
"Xiaofu, where is Teacher Sun's house arranged?" Qin Hai asked Heizi with his hands empty.
Heizi shook the key in his hand and said, "I just got the key from Principal Long. Teacher Sun lives in Unit 301, Unit 2, Building 3."
"Let's go home first." Qin Hai pointed his finger and said to Sun Yuzhi.
The word "home" made Sun Yuzhi and his wife Wang Jin feel a little confused for a moment. When they lived in Tongzi Building, they imagined countless times what it would be like if they could move into a unit building.
Now that the unit building is right in front of them, they find it difficult to accept this change.
The 10-year-old son Sun Ze is not as melancholy as his parents. He suddenly felt happy when he came from the north where the cold spring is cold to the south where the spring flowers are blooming. Just now, the big sedan from the college picked them up from the train station and entered the Meiling Mountain area.
When he was walking, he saw large areas of azalea on the hilly slopes on both sides. This was something he, a child born in the city, had never seen before. He felt that everything was so fresh.
Before leaving the capital, his parents told him that when they arrived in the new place, their family would have a big house, and he would be able to have a separate room. When he heard the uncle in front of him talking about going home, he was the first to
Rushed ahead.
"Dad, Mom, look, this is Building 3, it's written on the wall!"
After running for a short distance, Sun Ze seemed to have discovered some new world. He happily pointed at the small blue sign nailed on the side of a residential building and reported to his parents.
It was a three-story brick-concrete unit building that looked 70% to 80% new. It was probably built less than ten years ago. The plaster on the walls was freshly painted, and the doors and windows were also freshly painted.
There is a faint smell of paint in the air.
"This is the original staff dormitory building of the Youth Cadre College. It is a bit dilapidated. After we took it over, we repaired it a little. Mr. Sun and Mr. Wang, you can live there for now. We will give it to you when our new campus is built.
Get a new house." Qin Hai said in an apologetic tone.
"No, no, I think this house is very good." Sun Yuzhi said excitedly. Although the relevant benefits have been agreed upon in advance, actually seeing the house that belongs to him is different from seeing the cold words in the contract.
The content and feel are completely different.
The group of people entered the unit and came to the door of 301. Heizi opened the door with the key, and then handed the key to Wang Jin's hand. Wang Jin took the key and held it tightly, as if he was afraid of getting it.
It was as if it was lost. Qin Hai smiled and said: "Teacher Sun, Teacher Wang, this is your home, please come in."
"Everyone, come in!" Wang Jin immediately felt like the hostess. She stepped into the door and waved to everyone.
"Wow, what a big house!" Sun Ze quickly ran into the house and looked at the two bedrooms, a living room, the kitchen, and the bathroom in the shortest possible time, and then very smartly recognized his own
I jumped into that room, lay on my back on a single bed with only a bed board, and pretended to be asleep.
"This kid!" Sun Yuzhi cursed with a smile, her voice choked up.
"The house is not too big, with a construction area of only 62 square meters, which was the standard for middle-level cadres in the school. There is also a room type for ordinary employees, which is 47 square meters and has two bedrooms, but each room is smaller." Qin
Hai explained.
"It's nice...it's nice." Sun Yuzhi didn't know what to say. A house of 62 square meters was the standard for professors in the University of Technology, and it was only a theoretical standard. More than half of the professors couldn't afford it.
House. Now that I have arrived in Anhe, I have lived in a house like this. Although Hongze is completely incomparable to the capital, but if there is no house in the capital, what is the use of the city, no matter how good it is?
The main furniture in the house has been equipped, and the kitchen also has a gas tank and a gas stove, which was considered high-end in those days. Wang Jin directed Heizi and others to put down their luggage, and then began to pack it up hurriedly.
Heizi and others stood aside to hold her hands.
Sun Yuzhi and Qin Hai walked to the balcony. Sun Yuzhi took out the cigarette case from his pocket and signaled to Qin Hai. When Qin Hai waved his hand to indicate that he would not smoke, he took out one himself, lit it and took a puff.
Then he said: "Mr. Qin, now that I have arrived, you can tell me what needs to be done. I have already considered it, and I will leave it to you for the rest of my life."
Qin Hai smiled and said: "Teacher Sun is serious, I may just be an inn for you. In a few years, when the country's economic situation improves and the school's salary improves, if you want to return to the capital, go to a large research institution
, I will never stop it."
"No, I'll make peace with you now that I'm here. I won't leave here." Sun Yuzhi said.
Qin Hai did not argue about this topic. In fact, it is too early to say anything now. Who can guarantee what will happen in ten or twenty years? He said: "Since you are here, you still have to work long hours."
, there is no rush at this moment. You can rest for a few days and wait until your body recovers, then we will discuss how to start work."
Sun Yuzhi said: "It doesn't matter. I just took the train for about 30 hours. In the past, when we got off the factory, we also took longer trains. Mr. Qin, just tell me what I should do."
What?"
Qin Haidao: "Teacher Sun is really impatient. Let's do this. In the past few days, some experts will arrive one after another. After everyone arrives, we will have a meeting to discuss the work in detail. What about you these days?
First, think about things in your field, including your research plan, the required research conditions, such as experimental equipment, books and materials, etc., and make a list. Then we can solve it together, what do you think?"
Sun Yuzhi nodded and said: "No problem, I will start doing this right away."
Just as he said this, he heard heavy footsteps on the stairs outside the door. It seemed like someone was running down the stairs quickly. Everyone looked at the sound and saw a head poking in from outside the door. It was clearly a person.
A little fat boy about 10 years old. The little fat boy glanced at everyone and asked loudly: "Are you new here? My family is also new here. My dad said you also have a child. Where is he?"
Hearing the sound of a child, Sun Ze, who was lounging in the back room, ran out and stared straight at the little fat man. Seeing Sun Ze, the little fat man shouted happily: "Kid, come play with me.
Well, there are frogs in the field behind our building!" (To be continued)
