Scholars in the courtyard.

Seeing that Ran Qiuye agreed, the eldest sister also laughed.

Then the two began to discuss the details of the matter, and when it was time for lunch, they walked to the dining area together.

"Sister, did you come here alone? There is Secretary Tang beside the chief."

Yang Xiaotao followed behind, and Ran Qiuye in front held the woman's arm, talking and laughing, which made people around him very envious.

"He's busy all day, so it's normal to have a secretary."

"I'm just an ordinary person, so I don't need a secretary. I even cook my own meals on weekdays."

"Besides, I'm used to it and don't like being waited on."

Ran Qiuye heard this and said, "Aren't you bored at home?"

"It's not boring. I usually read books, newspapers, and some documents."

"Although I am not in the position, I still know some things, especially things about our women and children..."

The two of them came to the eating place as they talked. On weekdays, the food here is not free, you need to pay for it, and even the price of these meals is higher.

But everyone participating in the party this time can eat for free, which is a big benefit.

So there are many people eating here.

As for the small days, they have a special place to eat, and they are not with them.

"This food is good, please eat more."

Although it is free, there are standards. Each person can only order one meat dish, two vegetarian dishes, one white noodle steamed bun, and two mixed noodle steamed buns.

The three of them made their meals and sat aside. At this time, Mr. He and Ms. Li also brought people over, and they formed a table.

At the dinner table, Mr. He patted Yang Xiaotao on the shoulder and said with emotion, "Lao Zhang told me, if your status wasn't too special, I would have done anything to get you into the team. Then go to the Federation and let them have a look. We are great."

"Mr. He, I believe that we can let the federation's uncles see how powerful we are without me going."

"Haha, I love hearing this!"

The two talked, and then talked about trivial matters in life. Yang Xiaotao said that there were seven more puppies at home last night, which made Mr. He very curious.

Even the woman on the side also asked, and Ran Qiuye explained at the side, which made the dinner table very happy.

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao was going to the machinery factory, while Ran Qiuye stayed behind to prepare for tomorrow's rehearsal program.

Back at the machinery factory, as soon as Yang Xiaotao sat down, Lou Xiaoe ran in from outside.

"Mr. Yang, there is a problem with the armored vehicle. I want you to come over."

"Armored vehicle? What's going on?"

"It seems that there is a problem with the protective installation or something, and they can't make up their minds!"

Yang Xiaotao got up and walked out, Lou Xiao'e followed behind.

"By the way, is your dad feeling better?"

"Well, I've been discharged from the hospital. My body is just a little weak, but my mental state is fine. My mother is taking care of me at home."

Lou Xiao'e had a smile on her face, and then the topic changed.

"I heard that your Wangcai and the black girl gave birth to puppies? Leave one for me!"

Yang Xiaotao was curious, "Do you want to raise a dog?"

"Yes, Wangcai is so spiritual, and its children must be good."

"Okay, as long as you don't be afraid of anything happening in the future."

"How could something happen?"

"Why not? If this dog bites someone, you have to pay for it!"

Lou Xiao'e curled her lips after hearing this, "In the worst case, it's just a tie rope, you just decide whether to give it to me or not."

"Here, here!"

"That's good. By the way, I want a male. He's tall and can look after the house!"

The two came to the workshop and saw a group of people gathered in front of a tall armored vehicle from a distance, discussing something.

"Mr. Yang!"

When Dai Qinggang and others saw Yang Xiaotao coming, they quickly stepped forward to say hello.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "It's assembled? Are there any other questions?"

Dai Qinggang looked at each other and then explained, "Mr. Yang, we completed all the components of the armored vehicle as you said, but in the end, the weight far exceeded the plan!"

Following Dai Qinggang's introduction, Yang Xiaotao understood the concerns of several people.

According to the original design, the weight of this armored vehicle should be about ten to fifteen tons. Such a weight can operate smoothly with a powerful engine.

But now the number of completed prototypes has reached more than 20, and there are not many weapons and ammunition, and there are no masters.

If it is full, according to the weight of a standard infantry squad and the equipment, under this data, it will be even more difficult for the car to run fast and dexterously.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at the armored vehicle wrapped like a large rice dumpling in front of him. It was completely different from what he originally designed!

Especially the external armor, it looks awkward no matter how you look at it.

It circled around the armored vehicle twice, and finally stopped on the front frontal armor.

"I remember when we first designed it, the front was an acute angle of a triangle. What, it's almost a right angle?"

Yang Xiaotao kicked the front armor hard. Dai Qinggang looked ugly and quickly stepped forward to explain, "Mr. Yang, we have tried the structure you mentioned, but in fact, unless it is directly manufactured with forging machinery, otherwise, with our current Some capabilities can only be achieved through internal welding.”

"And this kind of welding cannot be large. That way, it will easily fall off when attacked, so we can only increase the thickness internally, and enhance the internal stability through the superposition of thicknesses."

Dai Qinggang explained in person, and Huang Han on the side also stepped forward and said, "The consequence of this is that some parts will be overweight, which is different from the design."

"If you want to change this situation, one way is to use better forging equipment and directly make it in one piece, or let the steel mill make the mold and pour it out, which is better."

"Then there are better materials to replace. What we are using now are ordinary steel. If we look at the current thickness, the speed of the tank will be a fatal flaw."

After Huang Han finished speaking, Dai Qinggang curled his lips.

From the beginning, he was the representative of protection, while Huang Han focused more on speed for this armored vehicle.

Therefore, in Dai Qinggang's opinion, this is not bad.

Just, a bit ugly.

Yang Xiaotao remained silent, but took out the fault scanning glasses from his pocket.

As a result, many problems were discovered as soon as I put it on. These were all differences from the drawings.

After watching for a while, Yang Xiaotao frowned and took off his glasses, then came to the front row and reached out to knock on them.

"How many layers did you use?"

Several people looked at each other, and then Pang Guo, who was in charge of the construction, stepped forward and explained, "Five layers are used here. Although it is a bit thick, it is conducive to strong welding." The Ma Weijun on the side also came over, followed by Shi Gan, the two of them One behind the other, they are considered the main welders of this car.

Most of this car was pieced together using dragon scale welding. It can be said that it was soaked in the two people’s hard work.

"Mr. Yang, it is very difficult to weld such a large piece firmly. Only by welding it up little by little and stacking it layer by layer can it withstand the impact and explosion."

As the two of them talked, Yang Xiaotao remained silent.

When everyone around him fell silent, Yang Xiaotao said, "Tear it down and let me take a look."

Everyone looked at each other, but did not dare to refuse.

Soon, a group of people gathered around the armored vehicle to disassemble it, first the equipment inside, and then some small parts.

By the time it was almost time to get off work, everything that could be dismantled had been dismantled.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the frame and the heavily reinforced joints.

These are exactly the reasons for being overweight.

"Is this the only way?"

Yang Xiaotao murmured to himself, and the people around him looked at each other. Is there any other way to connect this kind of connection besides welding?

You can't stick it together with glue.

Everyone was silent.

At this time, the workshop had reached the end of get off work time, and many people had already started to get off work.

The group of people looked around, and finally Dai Qinggang stepped forward and said, "Mr. Yang, if it can't be solved, I think this will work."

"The engine used in our armored vehicle is an eight-wheel drive, which is full of power and can handle the extra weight. And this armored vehicle is already very good."

Huang Han also stepped forward to persuade, "Yes, Mr. Yang, we have done it now, and we have completed the task of our superiors."

"We feel that this tank is no worse than any other in the world today, and we have an explanation."

After several people tried to persuade him, Yang Xiaotao couldn't think of a good way, so he could only nod helplessly, "Let's do this for now."

"Pack it up and let the comrades from the security department take care of it."

"Everyone is tired from working, so go home and rest early."

Yang Xiaotao said to everyone, and then walked out first.

He was going to pick up Ran Qiuye from get off work and then go home to prepare a larger dog house.

After all, Wangcai's family suddenly had seven more mouths.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao thought about the appearance of the kennel in his mind.

Lou Xiao'e, who was beside her, followed her outside. She thought about going up to see it tonight, picking one in advance, and then taking it home when she was older.

Unexpectedly, before he took two steps, he saw Yang Xiaotao stopped in place.

"Doghouse, doghouse, mortise and tenon, yes, mortise and tenon structure."

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Yang Xiaotao mumbling to himself, clapping his hands as he spoke, and the next second he ran back quickly, leaving Dai Qinggang and others stunned as they were about to leave.

Then I saw Yang Xiaotao knocking among a pile of parts, and then ran to the frame of the car, touching the traces left by the welding with his own hands, and the mortise and tenon structure used in carpentry emerged in his mind.

As a level 5 carpenter, the use of this mortise and tenon joint is naturally obvious.

After all, it is the essence passed down by the ancestors. Yang Xiaotao thinks that he can try it on this.

Do it when you think of it.

"Xiao'e, go and make a call and ask Director Zhou of the wood factory to bring some old masters over and ask for the best."

"Well, I just said that you need to be familiar with the mortise and tenon structure. Let's go now."

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, then confirmed that it was the word "mortise and tenon" and then ran to the office.

She had to hurry. If the other party was off work, she would probably have to make a trip.

Red Star Wood Factory.

Zhou Shenghong was sitting in the office, holding up a water jar to drink the tea water, and then got ready to get off work.

Since joining the Red Star Machinery Factory, their carpentry factory has embraced it.

From the initial tractor body to helping with painting, the woodworker gave full play to the 'craftsman' spirit of the woodworkers in these aspects, which not only solved the woodworker's dilemma, but also became a desirable existence in the hearts of people near and far.

Nowadays, anyone with skills in the factory is being asked to take on an apprentice. This is also the fastest way to enter the wood factory.

Although he is just an apprentice, he also enjoys the benefits of the lumber factory.

As a part of the Red Star Machinery Factory, the lumber factory naturally enjoys the benefits it deserves.

Speaking of this, Zhou Shenghong thanked the motorcycle factory and Mr. Yang from the bottom of his heart.

The carpentry factory has never fallen behind on the benefits that the machine factory has.

Everyone in their lumber factory has a pair of the nylon socks they distributed last time, just like all branches of the main factory, and there is no discrimination.

There are other good things too, all thought of them.

But if a person has no long-term worries, he must have immediate worries.

Recently, Zhou Shenghong has been worried about the future of the lumber mill.

There is no way, the several branches of Hongxing Machinery Factory are like eating gunpowder, they are developing slowly.

Mechanical repair shops have established repair stations everywhere, and the number of manpower has increased several times. I heard that it is very popular in the local area, so hot.

Let’s not talk about the plum blossom soap produced by the chemical factory. That thing is so evil. A piece of soap can actually cure diseases. It’s incomparable.

It's just an oil refining and gas station, which is even more popular than a machine repair shop.

And that branch factory, this one is incomparable.

The second branch factory, when we last met for a drink, talking about it made his heart tremble. He was also a dark horse.

As for the steel factory, Zhou Shenghong thought it was better not to think about it.

Just thinking about it makes me feel sad.

They are both factory directors and sit in the same row. Why is there such a big gap?

Is it possible that their carpentry career will never be successful?

Thinking that Mr. Yang was behind these factories, he also wanted to go to Mr. Yang and ask him to give him a few words and give him some advice.

It can be imagined that this carpentry work is not a simple matter, and Mr. Yang may not understand it.

Zhou Shenghong put down the stool, a look of loneliness appeared on her face.

Those who know me say that I am worried; those who do not know me say that what do I want?

Du Kang is the only one who can relieve worries!

Just when he was about to go home and have a drink, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

Then, I heard Lou Xiao'e's voice coming from inside. I listened to a few words briefly, and then a wave of excitement rushed from my tailbone directly to my forehead.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Shenghong lined up the tables and said, "Oh! Now, it's finally our turn."
