Scholars in the courtyard.

On the other side, Yang Xiaotao followed Factory Manager Du in the factory and saw workers wandering around from time to time.

"This is the air conditioning workshop!"

Arriving at an obviously small warehouse, Director Du pointed inside and said.

"nobody?"

Yang Xiaotao went in and saw that it was empty, except for a few machines.

The machine looks very old.

"It will only be activated when necessary."

Director Du said sheepishly, then pointed at the middle-aged man walking by, "This is Guo Xuting, team leader Chen, who is in charge of air-conditioning production!"

Yang Xiaotao looked around and saw that the person was wearing glasses with motor oil still stuck to his hands. He was rubbing them vigorously as he walked, as if they could be rubbed off.

"Director!"

Arriving in front of him, Guo Xuting put his hands behind his back and asked in a low voice.

"Xiao Guo, this is Comrade Yang from the north. This time he comes to ask about the production of air conditioners. Please tell me."

After Guo Xuting heard this, he looked at Yang Xiaotao and couldn't reach out, so he just nodded and smiled.

"Hello, Comrade Yang."

"Hello, Team Leader Guo!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, and then asked, "Can you produce small air conditioners now?"

Guo Xuting looked at Director Du, who didn't say anything, so he boldly asked, "Comrade Yang, how small do you want it to be?"

"The kind you can put on a truck."

"I'm afraid I can't."

Guo Xuting said seriously, "The technology we have now is a window air conditioner. Because of the compressor and fan, it is difficult to put it in the car."

"And we have never tried the air conditioner used in the car, so we have almost zero experience."

"Unless we redesign it and develop small compressors, fans, etc., then this is possible."

Guo Xuting said his opinion, and Yang Xiaotao nodded.

From the small car design drawings, Yang Xiaotao obtained the vehicle air conditioning design drawings. He studied the drawings and found that they were similar to what this person said.

Yang Xiaotao took out the cigarettes and gave them to the two of them.

Guo Xuting squeezed his fingers before taking it, and then the three of them clicked on it.

"Team Leader Guo, can you study it?"

Guo Xuting took a breath and looked at Factory Director Du aside.

"Cough cough~"

"Director Yang is not an outsider, you just have to say whatever you want."

Guo Xuting nodded, "We have also studied the miniaturization of this air conditioner, but later, there was insufficient funds, so the research was not continued."

"If you give us time, we will make it."

"After all, we have more experience than other factories in making air conditioners."

Guo Xuting said this with confidence. It was he and his people who made the first window air conditioner.

Yang Xiaotao nodded after hearing this, "How long do you think it will take?"

"How long? This..."

Guo Xuting was a little undecided.

"We need to redesign this and contact the corresponding processing factory to do it. This will take at least half a year!"

Guo Xuting gave a safe time.

"What about the design drawings for you? How long will it take to make them?"

"Do you have a design drawing? This should take two months! Two months at the fastest!"

After thinking for a while, Guo Xuting said calmly, while Yang Xiaotao shook his head inwardly.

Two months, can't wait.

It's July now, and it's already autumn in two months.

Air conditioning is only effective when it is the hottest.

Yang Xiaotao said no more, but walked to the workshop and asked about the function of the equipment.

Guo Xuting followed and talked in detail.

Sijiucheng, Hongxing Machinery Factory.

"Lao Yang, it's done!"

Chen Gong smiled and walked into the factory director's office, only to see Yang Youning making a phone call.

"Don't worry, chief, there is definitely no problem with this alloy."

"Yes, we must complete the task and deliver the goods in time."

Yang Youning promised loudly before hanging up the phone.

"From the logistics department?"

Chen Gong tried to ask.

"Well, twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. When I pick up the phone now, I can tell who it is by smelling it."

Yang Youning spread his hands and looked like he knew everything, but there was pride on his face.

"Wait a minute, I'll call the steel factory first and ask how the tungsten alloy is doing!"

Chen Gong didn't say anything. He picked up the cigarette on the table and lit it himself. Yang Youning, who was making a call at the side, curled his lips. He didn't have much left in stock.

"Hey, I'm looking for Guan Zhiyong!"

Yang Youning called, and soon there was a voice on the phone.

"Two tons, two tons of tungsten alloy sheet metal, when can you make it?"

On the other end of the phone, Guan Zhiyong wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was so hot today that the office was like a steam oven, let alone the steel factory workshop.

Now workers wear shorts to work and no longer wear safety helmets on their heads.

As for safety rules and regulations, be flexible.

"Director, the purification of tungsten metal is currently restricted. It will take us a week at the earliest!"

"Restrictions? Didn't they make people speed up? What are the people at the institute doing?"

"Director, the people at the research institute are working on aluminum alloys, and there is not enough manpower."

Hearing Yang Youning's anger, Guan Zhiyong had no choice but to betray his teammates.

"What about aluminum alloy? You're tinkering around with it now..."

Yang Youning pulled open his chest collar and cursed, but he closed his mouth mid-sentence.

Now, Yang Xiaotao's status is above him.

I can't tell him what to do.

Besides, Yang Xiaotao will definitely not do useless work.

Whatever he wants to do, there must be a reason.

"Forget it, let them do it. It's still tungsten alloy. I will get it out within a week."

"Director Yang, we promise to complete the task!"

Guan Zhiyong assured loudly.

In a week, according to the current output, it can still be done with overtime work.

"Okay. Let comrades hold on, I know it's a hot day, and I know comrades are working hard."

"When this mission is completed, I will personally award you with the rewards!"

"Yes, I promise to complete the task!" Hang up the phone.

Yang Youning felt relieved, picked up a cigarette, and smoked it with Chen Gong.

"Is the logistics department so urgent?"

Yang Youning nodded, "Of course it's urgent, the military equipment has basically been changed."

"The Type 63 alone will cost millions to promote. With the current production capacity of the logistics department, if we don't quickly add more machines, how can we finish it?"

Chen Gong nodded from the side, "They were forced to do nothing!"

"As these tasks are assigned, personnel, machines, and materials are all indispensable."

"It's okay for people. It can still be done with support from colleagues and materials can be gathered together, but machines!"

"There are really not many of these things. The logistics department is working hard to produce machine tools, and our factory has also given tasks, which has affected our task progress!"

The two of them sighed, but they also understood that things in the logistics department were more important.

If nothing else, just that the weapons produced can increase the sense of security, that's all.

"We are not without benefits. At least providing alloys is a great achievement. Besides, our factory's Double Star tractors are very popular!"

Chen Gong said, and Yang Youning couldn't help but nod. During this major change, only a few people in the logistics department in the machinery factory could eat meat, and the others could only drink soup.

"By the way, what did you say happened? Could it be something related to the Shanghai Automobile Factory?"

Yang Youning reacted, and Chen Gong nodded hurriedly.

"Mr. Xia replied. They have already discussed it and agreed to our cooperation plan."

"At the same time, I am very optimistic about our model and encourage us to further strengthen our ties with other factories and drive more factories to make progress together!"

After hearing this, Yang Youning immediately stood up and walked in the office, "Great! This way we can push out the slow-developing projects on hand, and the good fruits of savings will rot in our hands."

"Old Chen, I leave the cooperation with the automobile factory to you. You can discuss the drawings, processes, etc. with them."

"By the way, what is Yang Xiaotao doing?"

Yang Youning suddenly remembered that Yang Xiaotao was still in Shanghai, and asked quickly.

"He, I heard he went to the refrigerator factory."

"Refrigerator? Is he going to do this?"

Yang Youning frowned, but Chen Gong shook his head, "No, I want to see the air conditioner!"

"Air conditioning? Worse than a refrigerator!"

Yang Youning muttered, and there were voices outside the door, and then he saw Liu Huaimin leading Liu Dehui in. The two were smiling, and they were obviously talking harmoniously.

"Old Liu!"

Yang Youning stepped forward happily.

"How about it? Our armored vehicles are doing well!"

Two days ago, Liu Dehui came to Sijiucheng, firstly to buy a car refrigerator, and secondly to visit the machinery factory.

"It's amazing! I didn't expect that you guys who make tractors, instead of making agricultural machinery, would instead start researching armored vehicles."

"Awesome, awesome!"

Liu Dehui and Yang Youning are old acquaintances, and they don't get along well when they meet.

"Hey, what's so great about this? It's just an armored vehicle!"

Liu Huaimin and Chen Gong quietly watched Yang Youning bragging.

"By the way, when will your Optimus Prime be ready? We must transport it over and let's take a look."

Liu Dehui nodded after listening.

"It's coming soon. We have already negotiated with the factory to help make a small one for the car refrigerator."

"It's just that the car air conditioner hasn't been shipped yet. Now we're just waiting for Mr. Yang's letter!"

Hearing this, Yang Youning was stunned, then nodded, "Xiao Tao went to the Shanghai Refrigerator Factory and asked about the air conditioner. I believe he will find it."

Liu Dehui nodded, but there was some worry on his face.

He also knows something about air conditioners, which are really not available in China!

Seeing this, Liu Huaimin comforted himself and said, "Don't worry. Since Yang Xiaotao has said it, even if he can't find a suitable manufacturer, he will make it!"

"Yes, the engine can be made, and the air conditioner shouldn't be difficult."

Yang Youning smiled, and Liu Dehui also laughed. They still had confidence in Yang Xiaotao.

……

"You want to design air conditioners?"

On the concrete road, in the car, after Lao Jin heard Yang Xiaotao tell his purpose, his eyes widened in shock and he couldn't believe it at all.

"Yes, the air-conditioning production technology here is not good and cannot meet the standards."

"And their production capacity is not good either. Workers are idle for long periods of time, and there are problems with the quality of the products they produce..."

Yang Xiaotao said matter-of-factly, which was why he didn't stay at the refrigerator factory for dinner.

There is really nothing the refrigerator factory can do to help. If you need machinery, the machinery factory has better ones.

Important person, he doesn't believe that those who come from the R&D department will be inferior.

As for the other party's thoughts, he also saw it, but he was really unfamiliar with refrigerators.

"This is an air conditioner. You, you can't do this just by talking about it."

Lao Jin still couldn't accept it and always designed it himself. This, this was simply beyond his resemblance.

"Grandpa, actually the air conditioner is just a little bit of stuff, it's much simpler than the engine."

Yang Xiaotao had seen the drawings of car air conditioners and knew what was going on, so he naturally felt confident.

"A normal air conditioner is a compressor, an air pump, and a fan..."

In the car, Yang Xiaotao talked to Comrade Lao Jin about air conditioning. He spoke in a clear and logical manner, as if it was easy.

But the more this happened, the more shocked Lao Jin was.

One of them spoke enthusiastically, the other was shocked, and then they returned home accompanied by Xiaobo.

At home, Ms. Cui is leading the two sisters one by one, walking in small steps. As for the Dragon Boat Festival, she is playing around with toys in the house.

Ms. Cui was surprised to see the two people back.

"Didn't you two go to the refrigerator factory? Are you back so early?"

As soon as Yang Xiaotao came back, the two girls stretched out their arms and walked this way. They stepped forward and hugged each other, and then smiled and said, "There is nothing to see over there, so I came back."

After saying that, he took the children to play in the house.

The shock on Lao Jin's face had just faded when Ms. Cui realized something was wrong and hurried forward to ask.

"Nothing, I just couldn't find a suitable air conditioner."

"If I haven't found it, I haven't found it. Looking at you like this, it seems like you have lost your soul."

Ms. Cui said, preparing to cook, but Lao Jin continued, "So, he wants to make one himself."

"What? Who are you talking about and what are you doing?"

Lao Jin took a deep breath, and then said seriously, "I told you, your grandson should design an air conditioner by himself."

Ms. Cui finally came to her senses, and then looked into the room. Her father and mother were playing on the bed. She looked at Yang Xiaotao, who was lying on the bed and being ridden by three children, and slowly calmed down.

"Then design one."

"What's so shocking? If you can't do it yourself, why don't you let others do it?"

After that, go to the kitchen and prepare to cook.

Lao Jin watched his wife leave and wanted to say something, but couldn't.

After a long time, I walked into the study room, ready to take a breather.

The world of young people is too crazy. If you can't figure it out, just do it by yourself. This is too 'impulsive'.
