These leaders usually have no chance to come into contact with a welding machine, but something that can tightly fit two pieces of steel together is a very interesting chemical and physical reaction, so they all showed great interest.
After all, it is really difficult for a man to refuse an electric welding machine.
Since Lin Yi invited it, some of them naturally thought of giving it a try. Several senior non-commissioned officers also found some scrap metal at this time and began to demonstrate to the leaders how to operate it. For a while, this creative invention building specially designed by Lin Yi
, let these leaders play very hard.
At this time, the chief of staff walked to the door of the Creative Invention Building, looked at the name of the building, and became confused: "The Third Battalion is not a logistics unit, how can there be such a building?"
Brigadier Meng was very clear about the origin of this building. Lin Yi came to him specifically to report it, and he only approved it after he agreed.
However, he made three arrangements with him, allowing the soldiers to give full play to their intelligence and practical abilities. This is a good thing.
After all, today's soldiers are becoming more elite and receive more and more weapons and equipment. Equipment that is often used will naturally be damaged. Damaged equipment can be brought to this building for repair and modification by the soldiers. This is what the army can provide.
With the maximum support, the rest cannot be taken from the expenditure of the army.
Lin Yi naturally agreed, because there are indeed a lot of old and obsolete things in the army, and it is a good thing that they can be used as waste.
As for the money to buy parts and the like, to put it bluntly, there is not much money in the camp, and each transaction has a specific purpose. It is impossible to add funds to the soldier's hobby. This can only rely on the soldier's own hands-on ability.
.
Anyway, when we set up this building, we didn't really want to rely on the soldiers to make any sophisticated equipment. We just wanted them to be familiar with it so that if the equipment was damaged during the war, they could tinker with it themselves.
After the economic issues are clarified, the remaining issues are easy to discuss. This building can only be entered during breaks and weekends, and is not allowed to be open during the rest of the time. The most important thing for a soldier is to train, not to engage in other things, even this thing
Even if it is beneficial, it will not work.
Lin Yi understands what it means to sacrifice one's strengths for the sake of inferiority. For soldiers, training is their job. If training cannot be guaranteed, there is no point in doing anything else.
The last issue is safety. After all, it involves a lot of machinery. Safety must be paid special attention to. Once a soldier is injured, it will affect the closing and opening of the entire building. After all, this is just amateur life. If something goes wrong,
, it is difficult for anyone to communicate.
Lin Yi naturally knew this, so he specially selected a few senior non-commissioned officers who often spent time there to act as security officers to ensure the safety of the soldiers.
This building has been running successfully for several months now. The soldiers have made many gadgets, and some of them have indeed worked. Judging from the effects at this stage, the benefits are still obvious.
After Brigadier Meng explained the whole story to Chief of Staff Duan, Chief of Staff Duan looked at Lin Yi a little differently. He didn't expect that Lin Yi had made such great achievements in his spare time. He had been a brigade commander for so many years, let alone a battalion commander.
Even I have never thought about the spare time life of a soldier.
"Come on, let's go in and see if there's anything interesting inside."
As the two people entered, the soldiers once again stopped what they were doing. Although Lin Yi said just now that there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates here, everyone can do their own thing, but this time it was the brigade commander and chief of staff Duan who came.
But he is an absolute heavyweight.
Even when Lin Yi saw it, he had to put down the stuff in his hands immediately and ran over quickly: "Brigadier Meng, Chief of Staff Duan."
Chief of Staff Duan nodded: "I heard Lao Meng say that you advocated the construction of this building? You are quite courageous, even rushing to build such a thing."
Lin Yi himself has an inventor system. With the help of this building, Lin Yi can not only invent things openly, but also use the wisdom of all the soldiers to improve the things here. Moreover, this is indeed more conducive to the soldiers.
Ability, this is a good thing that can achieve multiple things with one stone. Lin Yi had no reason not to do it, so he replied: "It has nothing to do with courage. I just thought it would be good for the warriors, so I did it."
Lin Yi's answer made Chief of Staff Duan smack his lips: "It's concise and concise. We should do more things that are beneficial to soldiers. Your answer is very good, and I can hear more than words full of truth."
Okay, you don’t need to accompany me anymore, Lao Meng and I will wander around here by ourselves. By the way, don’t you have a day off today? Lao Meng said he would call you to dinner tonight, don’t forget.”
Brigadier Meng called Lin Yi to eat, which made everyone take a breath. How close is this Lin Yi's relationship with the two leaders? He even called Lin Yi to eat.
Outsiders don't know, but Lin Yi has been the brigade commander's assistant for many years, so he knows the brigade commander's habits quite well. The brigade commander's cooking skills are very good, and he is extremely good. When Lin Yi was the assistant to the brigade commander, he
, I always ate the food cooked by the brigade commander, and sometimes I even met Chief of Staff Duan coming over to share the meal.
Although not many times, Brigade A, where Chief of Staff Duan originally served, is more than a hundred kilometers away from here. He drove hundreds of miles just to have one meal. This also shows how delicious Brigadier Meng's cooking skills are.
So he nodded and agreed: "Yes, then I will go out to buy groceries. Brigadier, what kind of groceries should I buy?"
The brigade commander said 'hmm': "You go ahead and send me the bill after you finish shopping, and I will pay for you. We still have the old rules, you buy the food and I help the cooking."
Because the brigade commander had to cook a meal with his own hands every weekend, but he didn't want to take advantage of the troops, so he asked Lin Yi to go to the county farmer's market to buy vegetables, and the car he drove was not a military vehicle, but a blue-brand small truck.
There is no car, so it is very convenient to go to the city for personal matters.
Lin Yi did not dare to neglect the old leader's affairs, so he immediately walked out. He went back to the dormitory and changed into casual clothes, and then drove out in a car.
But just two steps out of the camp, he saw Mrs. Qin waiting for the bus at the bus stop. Lin Yi braked to stop, then rolled down the window and looked at Mrs. Qin: "Sister-in-law, are you going to the county?
Where is Sergeant Qin, why didn't he accompany you?"
Mrs. Qin saw clearly that it was Lin Yi and hurriedly exclaimed: "It's Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, why did you drive this car out? You put on casual clothes, I didn't recognize it for a while.
Lao Qin is back to the army and is busy, so I’m thinking of going to the supermarket in the county to buy some daily necessities this weekend.”
There is actually no shortage of daily necessities in military stores, but even if there is no shortage, they are still not as prosperous as supermarkets.
Moreover, although the army is on the edge of the county town, the nearest town is a town. Although there is a supermarket in the town, the reason is the same as above. The supermarket is too small and far less prosperous than the supermarket in the county town.
So Lin Yi waved: "Sister-in-law, get in the car, I happen to be going to the county, let's go together."
