Chapter 416 At that time, I was also called a genius
"It was our respected Mr. Dimitrov who said that Comrade Stalin recognized the difficulties we faced, but due to the Sino-Soviet non-aggression treaty, he was unable to provide us with large-scale weapons and equipment assistance. To us
Comrade Stalin approved the proposed technical assistance after careful consideration, and agreed to assist us with various weapons technologies and relatively basic industrial equipment, such as ordinary lathes, ordinary milling machines, etc., but we must draw up a clear technical catalog and then go through it.
The other party reviewed and approved it.”
"This is agreed, but not fully agreed, for fear that we, the Lions, will ask for some advanced and sensitive technologies." Desheng smiled after hearing the contents of the telegram. He was not surprised that he failed to receive large-scale weapons and equipment assistance.
The old chief nodded: "How do I call you back?"
"I called Mr. Dimitrov back, thanked him, emphasized the difficulties we faced, and finally told us that we would draw up a technical catalog and submit it within two days."
"Okay, Professor Zhuang and Yu Hua should be at the Military Industry Bureau headquarters. Let them come over now to discuss?"
"There's no hurry right now. It's almost dinner time. Let's wait until they finish eating."
…
The sun sets in the west and the sky is illuminated by red clouds.
Time passes and dusk falls.
The canteen of the Military Industry Bureau headquarters is brightly lit, and two tables of sumptuous dishes have been set out.
The classic braised wild boar is placed in the center of the table as the main course, and the side dish is a sweet and sour fish made from Yellow River carp. Surrounded by braised pig's trotters, potato braised fat sausage, pork blood, steamed pork with rice flour, and cured chicken
, fried peanuts and hard-boiled eggs, white flour steamed buns as the staple food, and finally paired with two bottles of classic Fen wine.
A total of nine dishes.
In later generations, this table was just the standard for ordinary family New Year's Eve dinners. Today, this is an extremely rare and luxurious banquet.
There is only one reason why it is so luxurious - to celebrate the success of the electroslag remelting and 105mm howitzer projects.
In fact, celebration banquets for the two technologies have already been held, mainly for most technicians and worker warriors. This celebration banquet was specially held for Zhuang Qianding and Yu Hua. Of course, there were also Professor Zhuang’s family members and several important officials.
job students.
When the last bowl of white flour steamed buns was brought to the table, on the round dining table, Li Qiang, the top person in charge of the Military Industry Bureau, opened the Fenjiu wine, filled a cup for himself, then stood up, first faced the Zhuangqian Ding, raised his glass and said: "
Professor Zhuang, without your hard work, the Military Industry Bureau would not be in the great situation it is today. From arriving at the base to now, you have to work sixteen hours a day, solving technical problems one after another. In terms of credit, you rank first. Li Youfan is here
Here’s a toast to you for your hard work.”
The words are full of respect.
To be honest, he admired Zhuang Qianding from the bottom of his heart, a dignified Tsinghua University professor, the founder of the domestic mechanical engineering department, a social elite, and a promising future. However, he resolutely gave up his identity and chose to leave Tsinghua, working tirelessly to travel thousands of miles away.
He went to base areas where conditions were extremely difficult and used his hands and knowledge to create industries in the base areas.
At the most difficult and darkest time for the organization, he, Zhuang Qianding, appeared like a white moonlight.
This is the most selfless dedication, and this is the most precious help in times of need.
The words fell and he drank it all in one gulp.
"Thank you. As Yu Hua said, this is what Zhuang Kaiyi should do and what every Chinese scholar should do."
Zhuang Qianding held a wine glass in his right hand with a kind smile on his face: "Don't overemphasize my importance. The current situation of the Military Industry Bureau is not only due to me, but also to the contributions of every soldier and patriotic scholar. What I have done
It’s insignificant, I just happened to learn some useful knowledge, that’s all. Kaiyi also found his own belonging and value here.”
After he finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the glass.
The government was corrupt and incompetent. Even though Zhuang Qianding had all the abilities and strength, he was helpless. He had returned from studying in the United States with high spirits and dreamed of saving China from danger, but reality gave him a hard slap in the face.
Others told Zhuang Qianding that he was not qualified to save Zhonghua. If he wanted to save Zhonghua, he had to queue up and pay money.
If Principal Mei Yiqi hadn't given him a helping hand, he, Zhuang Qianding, wouldn't have known where he would be teaching.
Fortunately, because of Yu Hua, he was lucky enough to set foot in northern Shaanxi. Fortunately, in this poorest place in China, he found his own belonging and value, and found the possibility of saving the country through industry.
His talents and knowledge can be used without restraint.
Everyone listened silently to Zhuang Qianding's words, and they were all moved by the noble integrity of this Tsinghua professor.
His wife Zhou Xieqing looked at the humble and radiant Zhuang Qianding with fondness, her eyes full of tenderness. As Zhuang Qianding's wife, she rushed to the base not long ago to take care of Zhuang Qianding's daily life and lived in
Area for families of scientific researchers.
"Team Leader Yu, I don't want to make a long speech. When I was studying in the Soviet Union, the Soviet people called me a genius. But since I met you, I suddenly realized a sentence - genius is just the threshold to meet you."
Li Qiang filled up his second glass of wine again, faced Yu Hua, stared at the bookish young man in front of him, and sighed in his heart: "This is both a celebration banquet and a practice banquet. I wish you a more brilliant future.
Thank you for your efforts.”
The words fell and he drank again.
Genius is just the threshold for meeting you.——
A layman does not understand Yu Hua's power, but only an expert knows how terrifying Yu Hua's scientific research talent is. He, Li Qiang, dares to assert that in the next twenty years, Yu Hua will be the most shining star in the scientific world.
Li Qiang not only thanked Yu Hua for his efforts, but also thanked Yu Hua for his long-term help to the base area. He wooed Zhuang Qianding, formulated the initial development plan of the Military Industry Bureau, developed oxygen top-blown converters and electroslag remelting, and completed the 105mm howitzer, as well as
The current five-year plan...
Yu Hua's pace was so fast that they couldn't keep up, but no matter what happened, Yu Hua could be seen in almost everything.
And every incident has a profound impact on the future of the base area.
After Yu Hua leaves, this name will not be declassified for the next fifty years.
"You are exaggerating." Yu Hua smiled, raised the wine glass to his mouth, and drank it slowly.
Xu Jinyuan, Fang Qiang and Wang Chong, three students of Professor Zhuang, looked at this junior fellow student silently. Although they did not know much about Yu Hua's past experience, this did not prevent them from agreeing with Li Qiang's assessment. He had an outrageous scientific research talent and beat them as a junior fellow student.
Group of senior brothers.
Lin Wan, who was sitting next to her, had a smile on her face, her eyes were shining with light, and the depth of her eyes was filled with Yu Hua's figure and no one else.
"I won't stop talking nonsense. Please use your chopsticks and don't be polite. Today's banquet is held to the highest standards. Don't waste it." After paying tribute to today's two protagonists, Li Qiang said to everyone with a smile on his face.
The celebration banquet officially started.
Yu Hua was not polite. After the meeting today, he went to the Heavy Weapons Research Institute in the afternoon to deal with a lot of squeeze matters. He was already hungry. He picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and was about to put it into his mouth. Suddenly he remembered something and turned around.
And put it in Lin Wan's bowl.
"Why was the first chopstick given to me?" Lin Wan felt a little shy when she saw this. Yu Hua's movements were too obvious, as if she noticed the eyes of others, and asked quietly with a slightly red face.
"It's okay, you eat first."
Yu Hua smiled, winked slightly, and let his girl eat first. This was the habit of men in Sichuan and Chongqing. He picked up the second piece of fish and put it in his mouth.
People who eat brain food usually like to eat fish because the amino acids and DHA contained in fish can nourish the brain and improve memory, and Yu Hua is no exception.
Lin Wan was a little confused and didn't think much about it. She picked up the fish and started eating, focusing on cooking. It was time to cook now.
For this ultra-high-standard celebration banquet, everyone was extremely satisfied and happy. In an era of material shortage and minimal spiritual supply, food is the most attractive thing.
Although there were no cultural activities arranged, just eating and drinking allowed everyone's tense nerves to slowly relax.
In the cafeteria, everyone was drinking and drinking, and everyone was blushing. They were happy from the bottom of their hearts for the success of the two projects.
"I want to talk to the professor about something, please wait for me here." After the meal was almost done, Yu Hua said to Lin Wan.
"Okay, please pay attention to your safety. It's a little cold outside now." Lin Wan nodded when she heard this and gave instructions without asking any more questions.
Yu Hua smiled and nodded, got up and came to the place where Zhuang Qian Ding was sitting. He whispered a few words, and Zhuang Qian Ding happened to have put down his chopsticks and finished eating, and then he stood up and left the table.
The two of them walked out together.
Seeing the two people leaving, Li Qiang immediately made a gesture to the security company commander guarding the entrance to the cafeteria for protection, and then continued eating without disturbing them.
"He should be a good husband. I rarely see scenes where women are given food to eat first. You will be happy in the future."
Zhou Xieqing looked at the backs of the two of them, put down her chopsticks gracefully, and said to Lin Wan beside her: "When are you going to get married?"
After hearing this, Lin Wan's face, which was already slightly tipsy, turned red. She watched Yu Hua gradually walk away, then turned around, glanced at Zhou Jieqing, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's still early."
"A good man should take the initiative, never lose face, pay more attention to him in life, don't interfere with his ideas, and be a good wife. You should understand these."
Zhou Jieqing said with a smile: "Your aunt Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng are a match made in heaven. I think you and Yu Hua are not bad either."
Lin Wan did not speak, her face became more and more rosy, and there was some longing and determination in her eyes. Yes, her cousin was Lin Huiyin, who was a sensation in China, and she was also the daughter of a wealthy family, and her family was considered a branch of the Lin family.
However, she did not choose to follow the path of her cousin Lin Huiyin. Instead, she participated in the December 9th Movement and chose to devote herself to the blazing red revolution.
…
"Let's not talk about things for now. Let's take a walk. I haven't done this for a long time." When he came outside the cafeteria, Zhuang Qianding waved to Yu Hua, then took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath, feeling comfortable all over.
Yu Hua nodded without saying anything and moved forward neither quickly nor slowly.
Two guards followed at a distance, leaving space and alerting the surroundings.
Away from the noisy canteen, they walked along the road and left the cave dwelling. Gradually, the two of them arrived at the hilltop behind the headquarters.
Standing on the top of the mountain, the north wind howls and blows on your face.
Behind is the vast land of northern Shaanxi, in front is Yancheng in the night, and in the distance are the chemical plants and Liushugou Industrial Zone with lights on.
"Not to mention them, even I sometimes feel that this is like a dream. Super high collective execution and administrative communication efficiency. Problems are solved immediately without delay. Workers and soldiers respect science and technology.
I am afraid that only by working together can we create such an achievement in just a few months. I have to say that this is a miracle in the history of industrial development." Zhuang Qianding looked at Yancheng and Liushugou Industrial Zone in the distance and sighed softly.
, even though this emotion has appeared many times, he still can't let it go.
Miracle.
An absolute miracle.
The Yancheng in front of you, the Willow Valley in front of you, and the invisible elm forest are the miracles created by the hard work and sweat of tens of thousands of people with their hands.
There is no construction machinery, no external assistance, everything depends on oneself.
Yu Hua listened quietly and nodded in agreement with Professor Zhuang's words. This miracle can only be achieved in the base, and it is impossible to achieve it anywhere else.
Super high organizational coordination and execution capabilities are conditions that no force in China can currently possess.
"I won't leave. Although I'm sorry for Tsinghua University and President Mei Yiqi, here I can give full play to my sweat and show off my talents and abilities. I want to build the largest chemical plant in Asia here, with a comprehensive level of
The top machinery manufacturing factory also needs to develop the best-performing aero-engine... Unfortunately, I am already 35 years old this year, and my body is halfway past its peak. It would be great if I could go back to the time when I was 27. The 27-year-old me and
You are also high-spirited and have creativity and imagination that is difficult for others of your age to touch."
Zhuang Qianding looked up at the starry sky, looked at the shining stars, expressed his thoughts, then turned to look at Yu Hua, and said slowly: "At that time, I was also called a genius."
"So are you now." Yu Hua smiled.
"The path of science is not easy to follow, firstly because of itself, and secondly because of external factors. The West has taken too many steps ahead of us, which has blocked most high-tech fields and left many academic traps for latecomers.
Disciplines such as artillery manufacturing have never been open to Chinese students, including the Soviet Union. You should understand what I mean. When you arrive in the United States, you must choose your research direction carefully and do not waste your time and talent."
Zhuang Qianding smiled, changed the subject, and said slowly: "Although your IQ and talent are outstanding, human energy is always limited. Remember not to waste it in areas that have little meaning. Aviation engines and aircraft design belong to
I prefer emerging fields that will not be subject to overly strict controls and restrictions."
"I will consider it carefully." Yu Hua nodded and replied with a serious look on his face.
"Also, personal safety. You are a smart person. First of all, you must stand on the same side of American law. When facing attackers, you must be ruthless and eradicate them. Secondly, you must not put yourself in danger. During my travels in the United States, I killed six people.
A gangster."
Zhuang Qianding's words were heavy and cold, revealing an aura that did not belong to a scientist, and he said slowly: "Your value is immeasurable. If an accident occurs, it will be a great loss to the entire China."
"I've written it down." Yu Hua looked surprised, never thinking that Zhuang Qianding had such an unknown and secret experience.
Zhuang Qianding smiled and did not give too many instructions. Yu Hua was a person who knew his priorities. He took out a cigarette and lit it again: "Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"
"Add members to the top science and technology team and reorganize the heavy weapons research team." Yu Hua said.
"You mean to arrange for Xu Jinyuan, Wang Chong, and Fang Qiang to join the team?" Zhuang Qianding thought thoughtfully.
