Chapter 1816: My Mother’s Family is More Reliable
In the evening.

The sun in the west has not set yet, but its red appearance looks like a child who can't wait to go home, whose heart is no longer here.

Thus, without its attention, the evening breeze had more opportunities to run wild.

Yang Xiaotao drove a tractor to the first branch factory, followed by Sun Guo driving a thresher.

Originally, the villagers wanted to keep them for dinner, and the town leaders also asked people to buy supplies, and they insisted on keeping the few people. The purpose was naturally to keep the thresher in the town.

Nothing else, at the end of the day, this thresher has conquered everyone.

It only takes two days to complete a village.

There are more than ten villages in their town.

When you see something good like this, you must keep it.

Otherwise you will regret it even in your dreams!
But the old dean and Liu Huaimin and others all had something on their minds and were determined to go back.

Faced with a group of senior officials, the top leader had no temper, but after much persuasion, he finally got the confirmation.

This thresher will be used in their town in the future.

With this guarantee, the top leader will naturally not say more.

When leaving, he prepared some local specialties and loaded them into the car without waiting for Yang Xiaotao and the others to refuse.

Unable to refuse, everyone had to take it.

In the truck bed, Yang Youning, Liu Huaimin and others were covered in dust and dirt, with some wheat husks in their hair. They looked even shabbier than the farmers in the fields.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao was not very clean, but he was young and strong. Although he was a little dirty, with his trouser legs rolled up, he looked more like the young man of the time in an oil painting.

Several people had been working hard in the threshing floor for most of the day, their waists and legs ached, and their backs could not even straighten up.

Especially Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin who took the initiative to perform.

The two guys usually don't work in the fields, so they could hold on to this sudden high-intensity labor at first, but now they are leaning against the car and pounding their backs.

After the excitement wears off, the body reacts honestly.

In comparison, Gao Yufeng, who has traveled all over the country, seems calm, at least his physical strength is much better.

Of course, physical fatigue is no longer important to them, because the mental impact is like a stimulant, stimulating their brains to forget the fatigue.

"What you learn from books is always shallow, you must practice it yourself to truly understand it!"

"The great sages of the past never lied to me!"

The old dean showed off his book bag in the truck bed, and Liu Huaimin and Gao Yufeng both smiled and nodded when they heard it.

There was no other reason, because the data they obtained after half a day's practice was much worse than what Yang Xiaotao provided.

This difference made everyone very happy.

I originally thought that being able to print one ton in an hour was already incredible, but I didn't expect that after most of the day, with the machine running non-stop and everyone taking turns to rest, eat and drink water, the average output was actually 1.2 tons.

It’s a full one-fifth more than the original calculation!
It was beyond the old dean's imagination.

"Xiao Tao, you are too careless!"

"With such a huge gap, how can we tell others that they are the same?"

"If we hadn't tested it ourselves and published it, who knows how many people would have misunderstood it!"

Gao Yufeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and joked cheerfully.

I didn't even notice that there were three black lines on my forehead.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao just drove away and didn't want to pay any attention.

What was happening to them last night and what is happening today? Can they be the same?

After all, the whole village has joined in the work today, and the machine has not been idle for a minute. It would be strange if the efficiency did not improve.

Yang Xiaotao even felt lucky in his heart that this thresher was used to death by these guys, so it was good enough that nothing went wrong.

If it is shoddily made during production, it is likely that mechanical problems will arise halfway through use, which would be a slap in the face!
Besides, there is not much difference between one ton and 1.2 tons.

Is this necessary?
Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything, and the laughter in the car became louder. Yang Youning no longer cared about his own position and joined the ranks of those criticizing Yang Xiaotao for being sloppy.

Liu Huaimin held the camera, saying a few words and asking a few questions from time to time.

Soon the car entered a branch factory, and Yang Xiaotao got out and went to the faucet to wash.

Several people came over and started cleaning up.

After washing, I felt like I was alive again.

Sun Guo arranged for someone to repair the thresher, and then asked someone to go to the canteen to arrange dinner.

Yang Xiaotao and Yang Youning kept the old dean and discussed how to report it.

"Threshers must be promoted as soon as possible!"

At the dinner table, while waiting for the food to be served, the old dean spoke in a decisive tone.

After only half a day's work, the old dean realized the benefits of the thresher.

It saves time and effort, and the particles produced are clean. They can be simply dried and directly stored.

This is in line with the slogan of working hard and fast.

"We have no objection and will report the situation to our superiors as soon as possible!"

Liu Huaimin spoke up on behalf of the machinery factory.

The Academy of Agricultural Sciences will naturally report to the higher authorities, and there will definitely be no problem by taking a two-pronged approach.

“Now it’s a question of production!”

Gao Yufeng suddenly spoke.

Although this thing was developed by a machinery factory, it is not easy to promote it in a short period of time if the machinery factory alone is responsible for making it.

It would be fine if it was only useful for wheat. If we start producing it now, it will be useful next year.

But Yang Xiaotao said that it is useful for rice, sorghum, millet and so on, so it is necessary to promote it as soon as possible.

In order to promote it, the machinery factories must contribute the design drawings and distribute them across the country. Only in this way can the effect be achieved.

Just this, they can't say it.

The old dean also understood this, so he didn't say anything, but he believed in Yang Xiaotao's awareness.

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning glanced at each other, then asked Yang Xiaotao, "Xiaotao, is the manufacturing process of this thresher difficult?"

Yang Xiaotao shook his head after hearing this, "It's about the same difficulty as a four-cylinder engine."

"Of course, it is still a bit difficult for general machinery factories, and it takes time to mass produce!"

"How is the situation of the first branch? What is the output?"

Yang Youning asked again, and Sun Guo was a little nervous.

He knew that the following answer was very important to the first branch.

"Director, we calculated yesterday that after removing other tasks from the factory, if the whole factory is fully committed, we can produce 30 units a day!"

"thirty?"

"Too little!"

As soon as Sun Guogang finished speaking, Yang Youning shook his head in displeasure.

"What if other missions are put on hold?"

Liu Huaimin asked, and Sun Guo immediately said, "Then it can be increased three times!"

"One hundred a day?"

"Well, of course, the premise is that the materials are supplied in time!"

Liu Huaimin nodded, but he was still not satisfied. Seeing this, Sun Guo had no choice. Their branch factory seemed to have a lot of people, but there were not many senior technicians.

Compared with the main factory, there are fewer workers above level five than level seven in the main factory. Even the machine tools are ordinary machine tools, and the better ones are only semi-automatic machine tools, and there are not many of them.

Of course, no matter how many there are, not many people can operate it.

"We can make it in one workshop. Two hundred units a day should be no problem!"

Yang Xiaotao said, but this output obviously does not meet the old dean's standards.

What he wants is to spread it quickly and popularize it on a large scale.

The extra income from the machinery factory can only benefit the villages and towns around the old city, and at most radiate to a few surrounding provinces.

However, Yang Xiaotao did not finish his words and continued, "These can temporarily meet the needs in the near future."

"We will then hand in the drawings and send staff to help more factories produce them as quickly as possible."

Hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, the old dean smiled with relief.

"You just make the arrangements, our Academy of Agricultural Sciences will help promote it!"

"Of course, we will have a task of producing one thousand units in the early stage, and we need your help to complete it as soon as possible!"

Yang Xiaotao immediately assured, "Don't worry, let alone one thousand, even two thousand, I will work overtime to make it for you."

The old dean picked up the cup and laughed, "I can still make the decision for one thousand, but if it's two thousand, you have to go to Chief Tao!"

Yang Xiaotao immediately shook his head, "Forget it, one thousand is not a small number!"

Everyone laughed. Liu Huaimin, Yang Youning and others understood that these thousand machines were rewards for their contributions to the inventions and research of the machinery factory.

Any more and you’ll need approval from your superiors!

Yang Youning was very satisfied after hearing this, and Sun Guo was also overjoyed.

There are one thousand units, so they will get at least three hundred.

This time, we have to fight back!

Time was urgent, and Sun Guo urged to serve the food quickly.

By the time they finished their meal, it was already dark. The old dean was in a hurry to go back and report the situation, and Liu Huaimin and others also had to go back to discuss it.

After Sun Guo sent a few people away, he immediately ran to the conference room and shouted loudly to start the meeting.

On the other side, Yang Xiaotao drove the armored vehicle back to the machinery factory.

However, when Liu Huaimin talked to Yang Youning about who would be in charge of the production, it attracted Yang Xiaotao's attention.

Liu Huaimin meant to report the situation to Mr. Chen and let him make the decision.

Yang Youning meant that while reporting to Mr. Chen, it would be best to check with the First Ministry of Machine Building.

After all, one should remember the person who dug the well when drinking water, and a married girl is still a girl.

After hearing this, Liu Huaimin agreed. If he didn't tell Mr. Huang and Mr. Xia, he would be embarrassed in the future.

The two of them had an idea and asked Yang Xiaotao for his opinion.

Yang Xiaotao would naturally not refuse, "Well, let's go back and call when we pass by Old Xia on the way back. Let's just go directly!"

"This is acceptable!"

Yang Youning immediately agreed, and Liu Huaimin also nodded.

As to whether Mr. Huang would be there at this point, they were not sure, but Mr. Xia would definitely be there.

Yang Xiaotao stepped on the accelerator and the armored vehicle's speed increased again.

First Ministry of Machine Building, office location.

Mr. Xia was drinking tea and playing chess with Mr. Sun.

The two of them had nothing to do when they got home, and they couldn't sleep in this hot weather.

It just so happens that this place is not far from home. If I’m really sleepy, it’s not too late to walk home.

"Old Xia! I'm not saying anything bad about you, but now that the piece of meat of the machinery factory has been cut off, you're like someone who has lost his eggs. You have no motivation anymore!"

"How about my steel mill, which is still of some use, and I'll support you?"

"You don't know, I'm so busy all day, I can be more relaxed if I give it to you!"

Old Sun looked at the chessboard where he was about to lose and launched a psychological offensive.

But it is also true.

Compared to the past, the development momentum of the factories under Lao Xia has been halved!
Even if we rely on our old capital and the foundation we have laid in the past, we will almost be as good as them.

In this situation, not to mention Old Xia, even he would feel uncomfortable watching it.

Even though they usually quarrel, there is really nothing dirty in their hearts.

Old Xia held the teapot with no expression on his face. He had heard this many times and didn't mind it.

Besides, it is true that the machinery factory is his hard work, but it also belongs to the country.

As long as he can do good for the country, he will be satisfied.

What's more, if he doesn't have this broad mind, how can he lead the Ministry of First Machine Building in the future?

Today, Mr. Xia has a completely different perspective.

So when faced with the run on Mr. Sun, he didn't take it to heart at all.

pat!

"General!"

"The car is being drawn!"

Old Xia did not hesitate and jumped over the horse general, while Old Sun scratched his ears and cheeks.

He knew his words had no effect.

I was also wondering why this guy was different from before?

"You are good, you have a broad mind, and a great heart!"

Old General Sun threw the pawn in his hand onto the chessboard and admitted defeat.

Old Xia was smiling and was about to speak when he heard noisy footsteps at the door. Then Liu Ruichao walked in, followed by three people.

"Commander, comrades from the machinery factory are coming!"

Elder Xia was stunned for a moment, then stood up and looked at Liu Huaimin, Yang Youning and the other two who came in. "Where have you three been? Did you go to the fields?"

"Chief!"

"Hello, Chief!"

The three entered the house and saw Elder Sun there, so they hurriedly greeted him. When they heard Elder Xia say this, the three smiled again, and then Liu Huaimin stepped forward to explain, "We did go to the fields."

Mr. Xia asked the three of them to sit down, knowing that they must have something wrong when they came here so late.

Then Yang Xiaotao talked about the research progress of the thresher.

Yang Youning talked about the benefits of the thresher.

Finally, Liu Huaimin made his intention clear.

"Commander, we think that our machinery factory cannot handle such a big thing! That's why we ask you to help."

"Yes, Commander, that's what we mean. You can't just ignore it!"

Yang Xiaotao also said, "If you ask others for help, you have to communicate and negotiate with them. It's a lot of work and it's difficult to handle."

"We have no other choice but to think of our maternal family. At least they are reliable!"
