For Chen Kang, and for the heads of departments of the Military Industry Bureau who are deeply troubled by the problem of limited transportation capacity, the good news given by Zhuang Qianding is an unprecedented surprise.
The successful manufacture of the first 12-horsepower single-cylinder engine prototype means one thing: Red Star Tractor is about to be completed.
"Professor, is this true?" Chen Kang reacted immediately after a brief surprise, with a happy face, and asked Zhuang Qianding for the truth again.
Zhuang Qianding was not impatient with Chen Kang's inquiry. He smiled and nodded, confirming: "The prototype was successfully manufactured, but the engine test has not yet been carried out. After Yu Hua came back, he arrived at the machinery factory as soon as possible and happened to catch up. He assembled this prototype.
."
After receiving the second confirmation from Zhuang Qianding, the heads of various departments were happy. Lu Yuan, who was in charge of transportation work, almost jumped up with excitement.
"Professor, can I ask how long it will take for the Red Star tractor to be built?" Lu Yuan stood up, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and asked Zhuang Qianding with respect in his words.
Hearing this question, Zhuang Qianding glanced at Yu Hua, and exchanged information briefly with his eyes. After a few seconds, he gave a more specific time reply: "If nothing else happens, within a week."
One week, from an engineering and technical point of view, this is already very fast.
"Okay, I understand." Lu Yuan was extremely happy when he received this answer, and he immediately sat down, with a look of anticipation in his eyes filled with excitement.
For Lu Yuan, the Red Star tractor is a life-saving medicine!
The reason is simple. He is almost driven crazy by the remaining four departments and the growing demand for huge transportation capacity.
Since the Military Industry Bureau started industrial construction, Lu Yuan, as the head of the General Affairs Section, has been thinking of ways to solve the problem of insufficient transportation capacity. Cars, horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, mule carts, wheelbarrows, and even people carrying poles are all available transportation tools in the base area.
All of them are used, but these means of transportation are still unable to meet the bottomless abyss-like demand for terrifying transportation capacity at the factories and construction sites in the base area.
A Yancheng sulfuric acid plant is approaching hundreds of tons of transportation capacity every day, not to mention the factories that are constantly being born, Ansai Cement Plant and Ansai Explosives Plant, plus Yulin Iron and Steel Plant that has officially entered production, which one is not devouring
A beast of power?
The good news announced by Professor Zhuang finally gave him hope that his long-strained nerves could relax a little.
A week, no more, no less, Lu Yuan could hold on.
"Okay, it's time to rebate. Let's go to the cafeteria for lunch first. The meeting will continue at 1:30 in the afternoon." After Lu Yuan sat down, Chen Kang raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already twelve o'clock, and then said.
After finishing his words, he stood up, picked up his notebook and the [Military Industry Bureau Heavy Weapons Research and Development Plan] document placed on the desk, and left quickly.
Due to many accidents, this meeting was only half-way through. He had to go to the cave immediately to see the boss.
Seeing Chen Kang leaving in a hurry, if nothing else happened, he should be going to see the boss. Seeing this, everyone had to temporarily stop the discussion and go to the canteen to solve the belly problem.
There was a continuous drizzle outside, giving off a cool feeling.
This autumn rain has been falling continuously all morning.
Yu Hua fell behind the crowd, walking neither fast nor slow, walking in the rain like a leisurely stroll in a courtyard, admiring the holy but prosperous Yancheng in the distance. Suddenly, an elegant and fresh fragrance hit the tip of his nose,
Reflected in the heart and spleen.
Looking sideways, Lin Wan in a gray military uniform came into view. When she first looked at it, a sense of simplicity came to her heart. After a few breaths, she realized that the beauty in front of her was becoming more elegant and beautiful. She didn't look like a peony, but just like a lonely flower.
And the dignified green lotus blooms quietly.
This is Lin Wan who is working in Yancheng. She has completely different senses from Lin Wan, who was the grade-level chairman of Peking No. 4 Middle School.
If Lin Wan during the No. 4 Middle School period in Peking fulfilled all of Yu Hua's fantasies about female students in the Republic of China, then Lin Wan in the Red Army uniform in front of her perfectly explains what a heroine is.
Quietly admiring the beauty in front of him, Yu Hua, who has been busy like a machine for so many days, feels that his soul seems to have been baptized, and the mental fatigue lingering deep in the soul disappears at this moment.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time, Jin Yu has become even more beautiful." Yu Hua had a smile on his face, his eyes were sincere, and he did not hesitate to give his compliments.
Speech is bold and direct.
Yu Hua felt that he was a sincere person and could not tell lies.
When Lin Wan heard these words, she felt a little shy and rolled her eyes at Yu Hua. She was not angry and asked, "The oxygen top-blown converter technology has been successfully developed. Are you ready to leave?"
"I won't leave for now. I still have some unfinished ideas in my mind. I'll leave around mid-October." Yu Hua shook his head gently. It was mid-August, and there wasn't much time left for him.
Yu Hua had to get to Changsha Temporary University before the start of school on November 1. Considering factors such as the war and transportation inconvenience, he needed to reserve at least fifteen days.
If he fails to make it to the start of school, Yu Hua will not be able to take the examination for government-sponsored students studying in the United States with Geng Geng Scholarship.
"Mid-October..." Lin Wan was thoughtful.
Yu Hua smiled and said, "Jin Yu, what about you?"
"Me?" Lin Wan was confused.
"Are you going to stay in Yancheng or go to Changsha to sign up?" Yu Hua asked.
"I'm going to study in Changsha. As you said, my knowledge reserve and academic level are not enough to be able to stand alone. I still need to continue to work hard. Fortunately, I learned a lot from you and Professor Zhuang during this period."
Lin Wan did not hesitate, her words were direct and decisive, and she expressed her inner thoughts: "If I stay in Yancheng, I will only live up to the organization's expectations of me for so long, and I will also live up to Professor Zhuang and your expectations of me."
Everyone has their own choice. Lin Wan chose to give up her current identity and qualifications, become a student again, and report to Changsha Temporary University.
If she stays in Yancheng, she can only work. In this case, she will undoubtedly live up to the expectations of her comrades and the organization.
There are many people who can do revolutionary work, and those who can engage in scientific and technological research should be selected only once in a million.
"Come on, I believe it won't be long before you can reach my current height, and then continue to move to a higher level." Yu Hua joked with a smile.
"Wang Po sells melons and boasts about herself, but sometimes I really don't know how your head grows. After staying with you for a long time, I feel like an ordinary person..." Lin Wan rolled her eyes at Yu Hua, looked at Yancheng, and sighed softly.
.
This is the truth. Since leaving Peiping and spending such a long time with Yu Hua, Lin Wan most of the time just feels like she has become an ordinary person, understanding nothing and knowing nothing.
It took her a while to fully understand the academic content discussed by Yu Hua and Professor Zhuang. There was also quite a bit of knowledge content that she couldn't even understand.
When Yu Hua designed the Red Star tractor, she could only learn to read pictures. When Yu Hua went to Yulin Iron and Steel Plant to develop oxygen top-blown converter technology, she could only build a vertical earth kiln. Yu Hua and Professor Zhuang worked together to build a 12-horsepower single-cylinder diesel engine prototype.
When she was a child, she was fortunate enough to be working on a rotary kiln cement plant.
The huge gap between the two made Lin Wan incredulous. At some point, Yu Hua had grown to the point where she needed to look up.
The only good news is that what you see when you look up is not your back, but your head.
"This may be your illusion. You are still the same person as before, and I am the same person as before. I am not much better than you." Hearing this, Yu Hua laughed and shook his head, and responded.
As a top student in Peiping No. 4 Middle School, Lin Wan's talent and IQ are undoubted. If one puts aside what he gained after traveling through time travel and only relies on the actual level of the two of them, Yu Hua, who is essentially a scumbag, will be beaten mercilessly by Lin Wan.
.
Because of this, Yu Hua, who knew how much he weighed, had never been arrogant.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Yu Hua, I really appreciate you paying so much for the base and being willing to sell such important technology to the organization. Thank you." Lin Wan shook his head and suddenly stopped, his eyes as clear and clean as gems.
There was a serious look in his eyes, and he thanked him seriously.
After finishing speaking, he stood up in a military posture and raised his right hand to pay a military salute to Yu Hua.
This is a military salute from Lin Wan.
Yu Hua looked at Lin Wan, whose face was solemn and solemn, and was suddenly stunned. After a second, his face couldn't help but smile, and he nodded lightly, accepting the thank you from Lin Wan.
The two of them chatted softly and walked in the rain towards the canteen.
…
Inside a cave dwelling.
The boss sat at the square table, holding in his hand the document "Heavy Weapons Research and Development Plan of the Military Industry Bureau" written by Yu Hua himself. His face showed an indescribable seriousness, his eyes were focused and serious, and he read every line carefully.
Character.
Beside him, Chen Kang was sitting upright like a student, not daring to be careless.
After more than ten minutes, the boss finished reading, put down the entire document, and looked at Chen Kang with a pair of bright eyes: "Tell me what you think."
"Reporting to the boss, my idea is - just like what is said at the end of this document, we must get these heavy weapons out no matter what. Only in this way can we truly have the power to resist." Chen Kang said seriously.
road.
After hearing this, the boss nodded and tapped the table with his right hand. After a few seconds, he asked, "Is there any technical problem?"
"I don't know, but I believe Professor Zhuang and Yu Hua. At present, Yulin Iron and Steel Plant can stably supply high-strength steel to meet the material needs of 120 mm heavy mortars and 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine guns. Regarding the 105 mm heavy howitzers, as long as Yu Hua can
After developing the electroslag remelting technology he proposed, there will definitely be no problem in manufacturing it." Chen Kang shook his head, with a firm face and persistent eyes, giving his own judgment.
"Being able to get help from Professor Zhuang and Yu Hua is just like when Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang. I agree to the heavy weapons research and development plan. All technical issues must be listened to by the highest science and technology group. Before Li Qiang comes back, you Chen Laizi stand in the last line for me."
There must be no mistakes at all in Bengang." The boss exhaled softly, his eyes like stars radiating light, a trace of determination flashing across his face, and he issued the order in a deep voice.
"yes!"
Chen Kang stood up.
"The sale of weapons and ammunition can be carried out, but it cannot be exposed that we made mortars. The production and sales of cigarettes should be carried out according to Yu Hua's suggestion. We need both a quick buck and a long-term and stable source of funds."
