Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1538 Guidance
Tao Lao's efficiency was beyond Yang Xiaotao's expectations.

Before noon, trucks appeared on the muddy road again.

What surprised the villagers was that this time the convoy transported not only fertilizer, but also many daily necessities.

I don’t know if it was Mr. Tao’s special care. In addition to each person in the third echelon getting an extra cotton coat, an extra 100 sets were given to them. The section chief responsible for transporting supplies didn’t say much and just let Yang Xiaotao watch by himself. manage.

Do you think we can do it?
No need to think about it?

Didn’t you see that the eyes of the villagers who helped unload the truck were red?

So, after Yang Xiaotao handed these 100 sets of cotton-padded clothes to Yang Dazhuang, Yang Dazhuang divided them up on the spot.

The village immediately burst into joy, and some people even said that these were the new clothes for the New Year.

The greenhouse matter has not yet come to an end, but Yangjiazhuang has already received the first wave of benefits.

Of course, there will be more benefits later.

Yang family.

Mr. Jin was talking to Ms. Cui about Mr. Tao's identity, "You don't know, this is a big shot."

"If this were left in Shanghai, it would be a slap in the face."

Ms. Cui's mind was not on Lao Jin at all, and she didn't care at all about what Lao Jin said. She was watching the Dragon Boat Festival and a group of children feeding pigs in the pig pen.

Because the pig farm was expropriated and converted into greenhouses, the pigs in it were distributed to various households in the village to raise.

Because the Yang family had raised pigs before, they were also given an old sow and eight piglets.

"Let me tell you, if I were really generous, I would give everyone one big coat, and I would only give a hundred. Such a big official is stingy."

Lao Jin rolled his eyes after hearing this, "You think these cotton-padded clothes were brought by the strong wind. They didn't ask for a ticket, and they didn't ask for money. If you can pick them up, they must have been squeezed out between your teeth."

He is in charge of the country and knows that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive.

When I was working at the Shanghai Automobile Factory, the tickets in my hands were like gold. Most people would not dare to give them to me. Who would have to make a record if I gave them to them?

"Duanwu, don't go up."

Seeing Duan Wu stepping on the stone wall and preparing to stand up, Ms. Cui quickly stopped her.

After hearing this, Duanwu stood below, holding a straw in his hand and teasing the piglet.

Seeing that Ms. Cui ignored him, Comrade Lao Jin had no intention of talking, and then walked to the brigade headquarters.

However, he felt proud in his heart.

Unexpectedly, my grandson not only did an outstanding job in the machinery industry, but he was also good in agriculture.

Thinking of Yangcun No. 1 again, Comrade Lao Jin was even more proud.

He has already thought about it. When he returns to Shanghai, he must brag about what he saw this time to his old brothers.

In the greenhouse.

After the fertilizer arrived, Yang Xiaotao and Wang Hao prepared suitable soil.

"Mr. Yang, this soil will do."

Wang Hao pointed to the mound of soil brought in from the greenhouse. This was the soil that Yang Shitou and the others dug from the foot of the mountain. Half a meter below, the soil was not frozen, so it was still loose when it was transported into the greenhouse.

"let's start."

"it is good."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he saw Wang Hao asking someone to pick up a small shovel, and there was someone next to him holding a beaker, white water, and a box of litmus paper in his hand.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the palm-sized test paper book, and the scene of going to school when he was young emerged in his mind.

At that time, taking the so-called chemistry class was more like a scientific exploration.

He still vaguely remembered the exclamations from those around him when iodine solution was added to the starch and it turned blue.

And this litmus paper is the same.

Litmus paper appears red in acidic solutions and blue in alkaline solutions.

Therefore, blue litmus paper should be used to detect acidic liquids, and red litmus paper should be used to detect alkaline liquids.

When the scene of the test paper changing color appeared in front of the little boy's eyes, it looked like starch turning blue.

Yang Xiaotao watched from the side with his arms folded, while Yang Dazhuang, Yang Shitou and others around him were also curious.

When Wang Hao asked someone to dissolve a ball of soil in a beaker, let it sit and stratify, then tore off a piece of red test paper. Then, amidst everyone's exclamations, the originally light red test paper quickly turned into light blue.

"It's changed, it's changed color."

"Shh, don't talk. Didn't you see the teacher is busy?"

"It's really, really amazing. It's like magic."

A few people lowered their voices but it was particularly novel.

However, the corners of Yang Xiaotao's mouth turned up, just like himself back then.

Fuss.

"Record it, 6.8!"

Wang Hao took out the color chart and compared it carefully before making the final decision.

Soon someone wrote it down in a notebook.

"Next."

Wang Hao moved very quickly. By the time it was getting dark, according to Yang Xiaotao's request, the pH levels of each gradient had been prepared.

At this time, the five greenhouses have been built, the straw curtains outside have been put down, and the stoves are lit in the sheds to heat the sheds in advance.

The next day, Yang Dazhuang led the villagers to dig soil at the foot of the mountain. After returning, Wang Hao directed everyone to start mixing according to the required proportions and adjust the pH.

With the help of villagers, the task was completed before noon.

In the afternoon, Hou Lijing led her men to start experiments.

This time I didn’t ask for help from the villagers, mainly because I was afraid that something would go wrong.

This busy work didn't end until night.

Two-thirds of the soil has been turned into each wooden box. There is a wooden sign hanging on each wooden box with a piece of paper on it, which is the information about the use of soil this time.

Early on the third day, Yang Xiaotao, Hou Lijing and others started planting grass seeds.

Put three grass seeds into each wooden box at a depth of one fingertip, then cover and water them.

When all the seeds were planted, it was already noon.

Yang Xiaotao then started arranging manpower. Each greenhouse had four people in charge. One shed director was responsible for recording data, and the other two were each responsible for a thermometer and reported the temperature every hour.

The remaining person is responsible for adjusting the temperature. If the temperature in the greenhouse is higher than the set requirement, the door needs to be opened for ventilation.

If it is lower than the temperature, someone will find a stove to heat it.

After the arrangements were made, everyone began to wait.

In the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao went back to the machinery factory and took Ran Qiuye and his party back to the courtyard. However, Comrade Lao Jin did not come back and continued to stay in Yangjiazhuang.

First, there are many people in the village and the accommodation is tight, so we can make room for manpower.

Moreover, they could no longer help with work now, and Yang Xiaotao still needed distraction here, so he returned to the courtyard.

Back in the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao settled Ms. Ran Qiuye Cui down, and then thought about going back to the machinery factory to see the situation.

As soon as they entered the gate, they saw Yang Youning walking out in a car. The two stopped to say hello. "Are you done there?"

Yang Youning rolled down the glass and smelled. Secretary and driver Xiaoqiang winked at Yang Xiaotao from the side, and Yang Xiaotao understood instantly.

"No, come back and get something, go right back!"

As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he saw Yang Youning looking decadent, as if he was sighing.

"Where are you going?"

Yang Xiaotao asked back, and Yang Youning said angrily, "It's at the pharmaceutical factory, that director Bai..."

Seemingly embarrassed, Yang Youning said no more.

When Yang Xiaotao heard about the pharmaceutical factory, he didn't want to get involved. Director Bai was not a good person.

The force behind what happened last time also added fuel to the fire.

Of course, such people should maintain a good relationship.

Yang Xiaotao knew very well, didn’t there be a saying from later generations that revealed the true meaning of success?
Behind a successful man, there must be a woman who silently gives and supports him.

And behind a successful woman...

Cough
Yang Xiaotao coughed twice, put his hand in gear, and stepped on the accelerator, "Uncle Yang, please slow down, I'm leaving first!"

After saying that, the car ran towards the office building.

"You bastard, you run so fast!"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao disappear in a flash, Yang Youning had no choice but to pat the car seat and ask Xiaoqiang to drive there early.

But I felt helpless.

If a pharmaceutical factory wants to expand its production scale, it's no problem, he wants to do it too.

After all, they are all from the Red Star Machinery Factory.

But you can at least come up with a plan to expand the scale. Just put it this way, you need a big jar. As a director of a machinery factory, I know how to make a big jar!

"This bitch is so difficult to deal with!"

There was helpless melancholy in his voice.

But thinking about the next activities, Yang Youning was in a beautiful mood again.

On the other side, Yang Xiaotao stopped the car and went upstairs to the office.

There was no one in the room, so Yang Xiaotao guessed that Lou Xiao'e had gone to the Publicity Department again.

Thinking of the last task given to Chang Mingjie and the others, Yang Xiaotao wanted to take a look at the situation of the rolling mill.

Research and Development Department.

In the office, Zhang Guanyu was leading people to search for information, and the table was covered with drawings.

And in Zhang Guanyu's hand, there is also a notebook.

This book was used by Yang Xiaotao when he was dismantling and repairing the rolling mill when he was working in the third workshop. It contains the design drawing of the rolling mill that he drew by himself.

Last time Yang Xiaotao left in a hurry and just handed the drawings of the steel rolling mill to Chang Mingjie. He didn't have time to share some ideas. This time he came back just to see how far the research had gone.

But when I saw Zhang Guanyu's appearance, his eyes were darkened and the bags under his eyes were a lot bigger. It was obvious that he hadn't had a good rest these days.

As for the others, it's the same. That's how their R&D department works. When nothing happens, they can wander around the entire workshop.

But when there are tasks, it is the busiest department.

Everyone lowered their heads and were busy with what they were doing, so that when Yang Xiaotao walked in, no one noticed.

"Director Zhang."

Yang Xiaotao spoke, and then Zhang Guanyu realized that Yang Xiaotao was standing next to him.

"Yang, Mr. Yang."

Zhang Guanyu was startled, and when he saw it was Yang Xiaotao, he quickly put down his notebook and stood up to say hello.

"When did you come back?"

Zhang Guanyu took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, his expression cheered up.

"Just got back, come here to check on the situation."

Yang Xiaotao said, then looked at the information on the side, "How is the research going?"

Yang Xiaotao picked up the drawing on the table, which should be part of the design.

But it's obviously enlarged a lot.

"There is some progress in the research, and you are here to help take a look!"

Zhang Guanyu said, waving to the people studying on the side, and someone immediately came over with a stack of drawings.

"This is the result of our attempts over the past few days."

“This is a design drawing of a three-high rolling mill, an improvement we made based on the structure of the existing rolling mill…”

Zhang Guanyu explained the design concept, and Yang Xiaotao reached out and took the drawing and looked at it carefully, but his brows furrowed slightly.

According to the name, this three-roll rolling mill only has one more roll, but the real thing is not one.

The reason why Yang Xiaotao felt something was wrong was because the extra roller was right next to it, as if it were listed. If it were that simple, it would probably be possible to make it with four rollers.

Moreover, this kind of design that only adds part of the structure but ignores the overall layout is obviously unreasonable!
If Yang Xiaotao were to do it, he would never design it like this.

Of course Yang Xiaotao also understands these people. After all, no one has ever seen a three-roll rolling mill!
When Yang Xiaotao shook his head, the researchers in the room were a little disappointed.

Zhang Guanyu was equally helpless.

Just imagining it out of thin air is the most hopeless and most unreliable.

Yang Xiaotao didn't say much, he just put down the design drawing in his hand, then sat on a chair aside and picked up pen and paper from the table.

When everyone saw it, their eyes lit up.

They are all old people in the R&D department, and they all know that their boss is a powerful engineer.

Although it is only level nine, that is because there is no grade examination.

Some people even suspected that if Yang Xiaotao participated in the assessment of his superiors, he would be at least an eighth-level engineer.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao writing, everyone gathered over to study.

Yang Xiaotao picked up the design drawing of the steel rolling mill, thought about it for a moment, and then began to modify it.

The first machine Yang Xiaotao came into contact with was the steel rolling mill, and he knew the alliance rolling mill used by the machinery factory best.

In addition to the mechanical books brought back from Kazakhstan, although there are no direct design drawings of the rolling mill, Yang Xiaotao still understands the theoretical development direction of the machine.

Right now, all he has to do is put these theories into practice.

"The future direction of machinery development will be more convenient automation."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he drew a line on the drawing of the two-roller rolling mill.

"Everyone's thinking is changing in this direction, so some things cannot be fixed!"

"Like this one, all three are fixed, so why not let the middle one move?"

In a word, everyone felt like they had a sudden enlightenment.
