Scholars in the courtyard

"It's different? What's the difference?"

Huang Lao's eyes still stayed on the knife. There was nothing he could do, this knife was too sharp.

If this had been done in the past, it would definitely be a weapon for killing enemies on the battlefield.

It's a pity that it is so gorgeous that it is destined not to be stained with blood.

"do not know."

Yang Xiaotao's eyes still stayed on the submarine model, always feeling familiar, but he couldn't figure out why.

"Okay, I brought this thing to you, keep it yourself."

"Also, you have to pay attention to the motorcycle matter. The chief takes it very seriously."

Yang Xiaotao put down the model and nodded seriously.

"We have already started making arrangements. One thousand vehicles a month should be no problem."

"That's fine. If you have any questions, just come to me. This matter is more important than an armored vehicle."

"Ok, I see."

After the two of them finished talking, Mr. Huang took the people away.

The First Machinery Department has been developing rapidly recently. Mr. Xia went to Yanzhou again, and the remaining people are also busy with their own businesses. If it weren't for the fact that the machinery factory had to be looked after by employees, he would have wanted to transfer Liu Huaimin back to the First Machinery Department.

He glanced at Yang Xiaotao again. When this guy was calm, he was as steady as an old dog, but when he got upset, no one could imagine what he would do.

Just like this time, if someone hadn't happened to see him, he wouldn't have known that this guy had actually made a gasoline engine.

"If anything happens in the future, report it immediately. Don't hide it."

"Okay, let's go."

Huang Lao said the next sentence and went out. Yang Xiaotao opened his mouth in the room, but finally shook his head and decided to refrigerate the things in the system space first.

"Where to put this submarine?"

He glanced at the office and finally shook his head, "Forget it, take it home."

After placing the submarine, Yang Xiaotao drew out his machete. The sunlight coming through the window showed a bright color that was dazzling.

Lou Xiao'e sat aside and said nothing from beginning to end.

When I was with my father, I saw a lot of valuable things.

Therefore, she knew the gems on the scabbard.

Valuable.

This was the most appropriate idiom she could think of.

There was no way, the few gems she had seen were much smaller than the ones on this scabbard, and even so, they were ridiculously expensive.

What's more, are there other gems on this scabbard?

He stood up and walked to Yang Xiaotao.

Women's resistance to the charm of this gemstone is too low.

"Like it? I'll give you one!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled. In fact, he also knew that these gems were not cheap, but they also needed time.

Just like those antiques today.

But can antiques be used as food?

Probably not as valuable as a bag of grain.

But you can't say that they have no value, it can only be that the times are different and people have different judgments on values.

Just like faith, times have changed and faith has begun to become blurred.

"No, I'll just take a look."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and then picked up the scabbard.

"It's quite heavy."

"Nonsense, it's all gold, can it not sink?"

"No wonder, this scabbard is not cheap."

"It's not as good as a bag of grain."

"Tch, you've got a bargain and you behave well. How about I give you a bag of grain in exchange?"

Yang Xiaotao put the scimitar on his shoulder, "That won't work. This thing should be a family heirloom and be left to the children."

"Give it to you, what's the matter?"

"Bah, rascal."

He threw the scabbard on the table and went out.

Yang Xiaotao was stunned on the spot, "Did I say something wrong?"

"baffling."

After saying that, he put the machete aside and then went out to the workshop.

West Garden.

Mr. Chen is reporting to the old man.

"After these few days of contact, I found that they intend to make friends with us. As for the purpose, I haven't found out yet."

The old man nodded, "No matter what their plans are, for us, it's just one more friend and one more path."

"Today's international environment is very strange."

Mr. Chen nodded and then talked about the cooperation reached between the two parties.

"After preliminary discussions, the other party wants to introduce our engine manufacturing production line."

"I have already communicated with the comrades in the machinery factory. There is nothing special about the production line. We made those machine tools ourselves, so it is okay to keep them confidential. So it is not a loss to give it to them."

The old man nodded, "Well, the other party should be asking for directions."

"Yes, not only that, because of the unexpected accident, they also placed an order for a thousand motorcycles. Because of petrochemical issues, they will use an advanced petroleum refining facility to pay for it."

"I have discussed it with my comrades, and generally speaking, it is a sure profit but no loss."

"The comrades in the machinery factory will be busy for a while. I heard from Lao Huang that they are still working on armored vehicles, haha."

“I didn’t expect that they are also versatile.”

At this point, Mr. Chen said the "return gift" he handed over to Mr. Huang. The old man frowned slightly when he heard that the golden knife

Then I thought of something and felt relieved again.

The old man smiled softly after hearing this, "I know this."

"The Third Aircraft Department had to devote its energy to cooperate with the Logistics Department to fix the aircraft engine, so the energy was limited, so it was passed to the First Aircraft Department."

"For this reason, Lao Huang complained for several days, saying that it would only cause trouble for them. Unexpectedly, he ended up at the machinery factory again."

The old man smiled and then waved back. Secretary Tang immediately stepped forward and handed over a folder, "Look, this is the engine they made."

Mr. Chen took it, opened it and looked at it for a while.

He knew something about the engines developed by the machinery factory, and there was even a lot of news internally.

However, this is the first time I have seen such a clear report.

"Is this engine, 800 horsepower, real?"

"I remember that even the best T-62 engine in the alliance now only has 580 horsepower."

"This, this is too much, there are still only eight tanks, incredible, incredible."

Mr. Chen said something, and the old man nodded silently.

"At first, we couldn't believe it. Later, Lao Huang and Lao Zhang came together and compiled the test data, and then we were sure. That's it."

"However, according to our expert judgment, if better diesel is used, this horsepower will increase by 10%."

"In that case, our heavy tanks will be available." Mr. Chen was a little excited as he held the report.

When he went to the alliance for a visit, he had seen a Tiger captured by the other side. Its huge body was definitely not comparable to the Doudin tanks of his childhood. Its thick and long muzzle and mighty appearance made people tremble at the sight. .

At that time, they were asking in their hearts, when will such a sharp weapon be available!

"Don't get excited, things have to happen one by one."

"The engine is available, but other things must be developed as soon as possible."

The old man can see clearly that just because the engine is there, it doesn't mean that other things are there too.

In particular, according to reports given by experts, the development of domestic alloys has stalled. Without good materials, good products cannot be made.

Now, they are looking for ways to speed up the construction of alloys and solve the problem of basic materials as soon as possible.

"At this point, the military industry is waiting to see how the armored vehicles produced by the machinery factory turn out!"

The old man also wants to see what kind of results the machinery factory can produce when there is a shortage of materials.

Hearing this, Old General Chen slowly suppressed the excitement in his heart and understood what everyone was thinking.

Thinking of what I saw and heard in the machinery factory.

I am also curious about this sudden rise of the factory.

Although, this is a bit bullying.

But there is no way, who let this be the case in China?

Sometimes, no one knows where the limit is if you don't push it.

"Well, let's take a look first!"

The old man smiled and said, "Just take a look first!"

Department of Seven Machinery.

Ran's father once again visited the test site in person.

After the failure of the last test, they summed up their experience and made targeted modifications to the problem areas. The new design has passed the theoretical test, and the next step is to see whether it can be effective in practice.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Shen Rong also grew a beard.

This was not what he wanted, but how could he have time to shave when he was so busy?

Get up in the morning, wash your face, eat a few bites and go to work.

This was not the case for him, but for all the staff involved in the experiment. Some lesbians even had their long hair cut off for convenience. They all wore hats and could not tell whether they were male or female.

It was this spirit that finally solved the problem.

Now is the time to experiment.

"Director, it's okay."

There was no joy or sadness in Shen Rong's voice, it was very plain.

This kind of dullness is the dullness after getting used to failure, and it is also the dullness of being persistent in success.

"let's start."

Ran's father also responded calmly.

Soon, another repeated experiment began.

The temperature began to increase, and everyone recorded the reaction of every component and every data jump.

"The temperature is reached, maintain it."

"time up."

"Cool down."

Three hours later, everyone stood outside the experimental area, watching the busy workers taking down the experimental target.

After another ten minutes, disassembly began.

Shen Rong leaned forward and watched carefully.

"Director, Director."

Shen Rong stood aside and shouted loudly, and Ran's father immediately stepped forward.

"It was successful. The instruments and equipment inside were not affected."

"Control system, self-destruct system"

"No one was injured."

As the inspection results came out one by one, the staff on site excitedly held hands and couldn't help but lean against each other.

After the last component was inspected, Shen Rong said solemnly, "Director, comrades, we succeeded."

Aww~~~

The scene was in a state of excitement.

Ran's father even showed a rare smile.

The current problem has been solved, and we are one step closer to combining experiments.

"I'll report."

"You collect the data, it must be accurate."

"The scene has been tidied up, don't leave anything behind."

After saying that, Ran's father ran to the office, ready to report the good news.

After Ran's father left, the cheers continued.

They had waited too long for this moment.

In the office, Ran's father picked up the phone and was connected after a while.

"Chief, our experiment was successful. Just now, we"

Following Ran's father's report, Mr. Qian's excited voice also came from the other end of the phone, "Congratulations, comrades, for your hard work."

Ran's father talked for a while, and then said, "Chief, this high temperature experiment has passed. Can we proceed to the next step?"

"Captain Zhong and the others have already adjusted their form. I think we can try to match them."

Just as Father Ran was talking impatiently, Mr. Qian interrupted him.

"Comrade Zhiqiang, I'm afraid we can't proceed with the next experiment yet."

Ran's father was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Chief, what happened?"

"Well, in this combined experiment, we not only need to simulate the impact of high temperature, but also simulate storage in different environments."

"Now, another team of comrades is experimenting with storage conditions under severe cold conditions in the north."

"So we don't have many alloys left to make."

Father Ran took a deep breath, then nodded calmly, "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Ran's father felt lost.

He has obviously found the right path, but he is always constrained by various things, preventing him from moving forward.

This feeling is so uncomfortable.

"When will I be able to fight without restraint?"

He rubbed his cheeks with his hands.

Since you can't do it, just wait.

I just feel that I have no hope for my next work.

It's like a person who is used to a fast pace suddenly slows down and feels uncomfortable.

"I would like to inform you that after everyone has sorted out the data, we will have a day off tomorrow weekend."

Father Ran said to the guard at the door.

Although the guard was surprised, he faithfully carried out the order.

Soon, the team led by Ran's father in the Seventh Machinery Department was full of joy and finally had time to go home.
