Scholars in the courtyard.

One machine department, conference room.

Mr. Huang was smoking a cigarette, surrounded by Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Qin. In addition, there were Mr. Xia and other main leaders of the First Machinery Department.

"Old Huang, tell me quickly, we are just installing the machine."

Mr. Wang said proudly that since the machine shop solved the truck problem and helped install an air conditioner, the last piece of the puzzle that combined the two projects was about to be completed.

The exciting moment was about to come, and Lao Huang called me. Why weren't you in a hurry?

"That's right, Lao Huang, I have a lot of things going on over there, so tell me quickly."

Old God Qin is here, and the logistics department is now thriving.

There are more and more machine tools. Although it is inferior to that of a machine factory, after being able to independently produce Venus, the production of machine tools has not stopped.

With so many machine tools, not only is the production of the Type 63 on track, but other weapons are also progressing smoothly.

In this regard, the response of the troops who changed their uniforms was very good.

Of course, he also heard that the machinery factory was upgrading the Venus engine, which made him a little envious.

It is not that their logistics department has not organized capable personnel to research high-precision machine tools, and they also want latecomers to catch up and make some achievements.

Can result...

The result was very gratifying. A group of people worked around the Venus machine tool drawings again and again, and the finished product looked like that.

But the finished product is ready.

Damn it, I can’t pretend anymore...

What a pity!

Mr. Qin held the water glass and glanced at Mr. Huang, wondering why this guy called someone here!

Cough

Mr. Huang glanced at Mr. Zhang, nodded to Mr. Xia and others beside him, then coughed slightly, looked at everyone, and spoke slowly.

"Old brothers, we have something to do now. We need to make a decision quickly!"

Huang Lao spoke lightly, but his expression was very solemn.

"what's up?"

Mr. Zhang was puzzled, and everyone also looked over.

Mr. Huang sighed, "There was news from the machinery factory yesterday..."

Following Huang Lao's narration, the faces of several people immediately became serious.

Mr. Wang clenched his fingers together and made a crunching sound.

Aluminum alloy is too important to their Seventh Machinery Department.

Now, the design based on aluminum alloy has been approved and the factory has started producing components as planned.

The supply of aluminum alloys is directly related to the results of their work.

In the same way, Mr. Zhang had the same expression.

Planes and rockets both fly in the sky, and they both have the same needs!

"That's just the way it is."

"If you want to increase the production of aluminum alloys, you either have sufficient raw materials and skilled workers, or you can only electrolyze alumina."

"And this is also a long-term project, and the results will not be seen in a short time."

Mr. Huang briefly explained the difficulties he is encountering now.

"Old Qin, don't you have any aluminum ore?"

Mr. Wang asked. Among those present, the one who knew the most about these resources was probably the Logistics Department.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Qin looked a little embarrassed after hearing this, "Well, we are not involved in the resource aspect."

"What? You don't care?"

"That's it."

Mr. Wang was leaning on his chair looking dejected.

Mr. Qin was also helpless, "When you needed this thing in the past, you only needed to give it a task. Who has thought about the raw materials?"

Mr. Zhang heard the answer and said, "If you only need a little, it's no problem to give the mission."

"But now, we are not using one or two points. It is estimated that there is not much inventory in the aluminum mining area, and it will be useless to give more tasks."

"Yes, that's the truth!"

Mr. Qin said something, and then looked at Mr. Huang, "Old Huang, tell me what to do. Since everyone is here, we must come up with an idea."

Several people focused their attention on Mr. Huang again.

Seeing this, Mr. Huang picked up the enamel jar in front of the table, lifted the lid that had some oil on it, took a sip and put it down.

"Now, we can only cooperate with Alloy!"

"In a more serious sense, this matter is also a contribution to the country and the revolutionary construction."

After Mr. Huang finished speaking, several people's faces showed approval.

Although they did this for their own sake, on the other hand, it was also for the sake of revolutionary construction.

To be honest, of the eight machine departments, one machine department alone holds up half the sky.

The three machine departments, together with the logistics department, can be said to account for most of the revolutionary construction.

But this cannot be said clearly.

"Tell it a little more!"

Huang Lao sat up straight, "After cooperation, our development speed will only be faster and better."

"We are developing rapidly now, so we cannot waste any time!"

Mr. Zhang nodded, "What Mr. Huang said is correct."

"We've been answering a lot of phone calls during this period. I've said too much about rejection, and I feel like I'm at a loss."

"I think back then, when we were in trouble, we needed support from all directions."

After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, even Mr. Wang nodded in silence.

At this time, Mr. Xia handed a document to everyone.

"This is the information we gathered."

Huang Lao said, "Lao Xia, please tell me!"

Mr. Xia, who was sitting at the other end, nodded and picked up one of them.

"These are the raw materials we need in our various researches. There are many metal minerals among them, which are urgently needed in our industrial construction."

"There are still some. I asked the Machinery Factory Research Institute. There are also many urgently needed ones in the ongoing research there."

"In other words, there will be many needs in the future."

"So, in the long run, cooperation with Alloy will be very helpful to our research work!"

Several people casually looked at the documents, which contained many projects' demands for rare metals and rare earths.

And this is just a machine department.

They know their own stuff, and they may not be as good as the First Machinery Department, but they rely more on special materials in some areas.

"Furthermore, according to the information we have received, although the output of the tungsten-copper alloy supplied to the Alloy Department last time was less than half of ours, it did alleviate the demand in the domestic market."

"It is their presence that allows us to have more produced alloys. In other words, providing technology is beneficial to our development!"

After Mr. Xia finished speaking his opinion, Mr. Qin took the lead in nodding.

"I think this is okay. Providing the technology is equivalent to sharing the pressure with multiple firepower points, and other machine departments don't need to attack us!"

"We can also close the door and eat alone!" "Old Qin is right."

Mr. Wang agreed, "And if our institute makes new discoveries in the future, we can also follow this."

Mr. Zhang nodded, "Now that it's straightened out, it will save you trouble in the future!"

"How to cooperate specifically, Lao Huang, you come forward and talk to the people over there. If we can't reach an agreement, we will go it alone and let Lao Qin's logistics department handle it."

Mr. Qin nodded, "Our logistics department is still quite capable!"

Mr. Huang nodded, "That's what I just thought."

"I know the guy from Metallurgy who just came up."

Mr. Wang suddenly spoke, "I have dealt with her before when I was in the local area. She is a prodigy. Mr. Huang, you have to be mentally prepared."

Everyone looked over, and Mr. Qin even turned his head, "Old Wang, since you know him, why don't you go there."

"Well, let's forget it!"

"That bitch is so difficult!"

"However, there is no free steamed bun in this world. We have made huge concessions. We still need to make it clear."

Mr. Wang's eyes suddenly glowed with gold, "Let me tell you, in the future, we need raw materials to not be blocked, and we also need people, whether they are skilled workers or college students, all talents are needed."

"Even if it's not needed in the workshop, it can be stuffed into the research institute and let Yang Xiaotao train and train it. When it comes out, it will be a pillar!"

Mr. Wang said that he had tasted the benefits. Last time he sent a few college students to Yang Xiaotao, and the results were rich.

But after saying this, Mr. Huang and Mr. Xia both looked ugly, always feeling that this guy had bad intentions.

"Now that everyone agrees, I'll go get in touch with Metallurgy."

“But also be prepared for the talks to fall apart.”

The three nodded.

If the talks fall apart, the worst possible outcome is to go it alone.

It's not like they haven't done it before.

The meeting started quickly and ended quickly.

Everyone is busy with business, there are not so many detours.

After a few people left, Mr. Huang asked Mr. Xia to take a car with him to the Metallurgical Department.

When the two came to Metallurgy, they looked at the slightly deserted office building in front of them and looked at each other.

"When was the last time we came?"

Mr. Huang looked at Mr. Xia, and Mr. Xia replied clearly, "It seems like it's time for us to ask for tungsten alloy!"

"I remember, there were a lot of people here that time!"

Mr. Xia nodded.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

The two entered the building. When the comrade in charge of the reception noticed the two, they came forward to inquire and quickly ran to the office to report the situation.

Then, Huang and Lao met the newly appointed boss of the Metallurgical Department.

An old woman in military uniform, with a few strands of silver hair peeking out from her temples, had a rare smile on her face after seeing the two of them.

"You two, long time no see."

patter

The office door closes.

When Mr. Huang and Mr. Xia came out again, an hour had passed.

Their voices were a little hoarse, and beads of sweat continued to appear on their foreheads. Until they were far away, Mr. Xia looked back at the red office door from time to time.

After leaving the Metallurgical Department, the two sat in the car and felt the cool breeze brought by the movement of the car, and then they regained their composure.

"Old Huang, can we do this?"

Huang Lao looked at the rearview mirror, his eyes distracted.

"Okay? How do I know!"

The silence between the two made the driver close his ears.

"Oh, if I had known this, I wouldn't have come!"

Mr. Xia sighed, Mr. Huang nodded, and then shook his head.

"It won't work if you don't come. Well, you don't know what this lesbian is capable of. If she tells the boss, let's not be obedient. At least we won't get so many benefits."

"that is…"

"It's just that the price you pay is a bit high!"

Mr. Xia replied and Mr. Huang nodded.

"Forget it, as long as the dosage is increased, the 20% less can be made up for."

"Besides, this is shared. We will all fight together if we suffer the loss."

Mr. Xia is not talking.

It wasn't until the car approached the First Machinery Department that Mr. Xia asked in a low voice.

"We agreed on behalf of Yang Xiaotao, wouldn't it be bad?"

Huang Lao heard this and looked out the window.

The original request from the metallurgist was for a half share, whether it was current aluminum alloys or other alloys developed in the future.

Faced with such a "rude" request, Mr. Huang almost slammed the door and left.

But the other party's identity was there, and he used the general trend of national construction to pressure him. In the end, he did not hesitate to break up and go to his superiors if they couldn't reach an agreement. Then the two sat at the desk and continued fighting.

In the end, the other party also retreated, lowering the price from 50% to 20%.

The price is that the United Star Research Institute has to bear the name of the Metallurgical Division.

At the same time, Yang Xiaotao, An Zhongsheng, and Zhang Dedao, the backbone of several research institutes, will all be assigned to the Metallurgical Department.

Although they are only on a temporary basis, Yang Xiaotao and the others are obliged to lend a helping hand when the Metallurgical Department needs it.

It wasn't until the other party proposed this condition that Huang and Lao realized that this was the real purpose of the other party waiting for them to come!

But when things got to this point, they had to agree even if they didn't agree.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaotao is still a member of their First Machinery Department.

If you have a mission, you must obtain their consent.

In this regard, Huang Lao is very stuck.

"Probably not. This is equivalent to giving him a salary increase in disguise. It's not too late to be happy!"

Mr. Huang didn't dare to look at Yang Xiaotao.

Mr. Xia curled his lips, "He has a lot of burdens on his shoulders now, and you are not afraid of being crushed into a hunchback!"

"Oh, what can we do?"

"It would be great if there were two Yang Xiaotaos."

"We don't have to be like this. We are so tight that everything will fall on him!"

"Yes, still, there are too few talents..."
