Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1975 Crash
First Ministry of Machine Building, small conference room.

It’s still the same long table and the same people.

Mr. Huang sat in his seat leisurely and composed.

The same is true for Mr. Xia on the left.

The two men seemed to be sitting on a throne, indifferent to the plum tree, the cow, and the Monkey King next to them.

It seemed as if the only thing in his mind was the fish that was about to be caught.

He just looked at the people who were arguing in the middle of the scene, feeling inexplicably proud.

"Old Cow, don't get involved in this half-day thing!"

Sun Wukong shouted to the fat old cow beside him, and his words immediately received support from the people around him.

"Nonsense, how did we in the west offend you? We use water transportation in the southwest, which is not faster than yours!"

Lao Niu crossed his arms and said disdainfully.

"We still use water transportation. Do you know what the requirements are?"

“Build a factory nearby!”

Old Li standing by pointed his finger at everyone and looked over there with anger on his face.

The southeast area is his area of ​​responsibility.

This good thing happened to him and he was finally able to rise up, but these guys heard the news from somewhere and rushed in, shamelessly saying that they wanted a piece of the pie.

Damn it.

It’s true that my uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt can’t!
"Old Li, the place can be yours, but as for building a pharmaceutical factory, I think I have more experience!"

Mr. Sun said cheerfully, because his service area includes the big city of Shanghai.

The hospitals and pharmaceutical factories there are second to none in the country!
"Go, go, go away. Go away. Monkey King, I've noticed that you're always the most outrageous. What's your business this time? You really want to see me get better, don't you?"

"Old Li, you are wrong. I am doing this for the good of our Ministry..."

"I believe you ghost!"

So, just as the room was beginning to calm down, it became chaotic again.

"Lao Xia, what are you going to eat tonight?"

Mr. Huang put down the cup and felt his stomach was empty. He had just drunk a bowl of porridge in the morning and now he felt even hungrier.

As for lunch, looking at the current situation, it would be good if we can finish it before dinner.

Xia Lao shook his head, "I haven't thought about it yet!"

"But I plan to go to the courtyard to have a look!"

When Mr. Huang heard this, he immediately widened his eyes.

Siheyuan.

Yang Xiaotao!
That guy is a good cook!
"Together, together!"

Old Xia knew this would be the case after just one look.

So he nodded, thinking about calling Yang Xiaotao later.

"By the way, I heard there will be rewards this time?"

"That kid, is he a second-class meritorious service?"

Mr. Xia suddenly asked, and Mr. Huang came up to him and said, "No!"

"Oh?"

"Is it a first-class merit?"

Mr. Xia's originally frowned brows suddenly relaxed, and then turned into surprise.

"First-class merit? Would that be insufficient?"

Huang Lao smiled and said, "One was reported by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and hybrid rice got extra points!"

"Then there's the matter of the medicinal wine. We made quite a bit of money this time!"

"And the Plum Blossom Disinfectant and Artemisia Annua Oral Liquid mentioned above, none of them gave decent rewards."

"I guess the higher-ups are planning to settle the bill all at once this time!"

After hearing this, Mr. Xia nodded and said that this was a good idea.

After all, in terms of value, first-class merit is better!

"Can't you give me a special award?"

Mr. Xia seemed to be greedy for more, and Mr. Huang rolled his eyes.

"What are you thinking about? We are not at war now, and we are not even going to win any special merit."

"You only got one first-class merit, but look at this kid, he's already got several!"

"Be content!"

After hearing this, Old Xia leaned back with a hint of pride on his face, "What are you saying about being content? I think you're just bullying him because he's young and stingy!"

bump!
Wow...

Just as the two were talking, the sound of slapping the table rang in their ears, followed by the sound of teacups clinking.

After this slap, everything on the table began to shake.

The two were startled and looked over, only to see Lao Niu standing in front of the table, his face red and his neck straight, looking as if he was ready to eat someone.

"Since everyone wants it, let's follow the old rules!"

As he spoke, he had already started rolling up his sleeves!

After the words were spoken, the room fell silent.

Old Sun and the others had frozen expressions on their faces. They no longer looked like they were arguing just now.

Several people understood in their hearts that Lao Niu was serious this time!
"it is good!"

Mr. Huang spoke suddenly.

Everyone looked over immediately, and saw Mr. Huang standing up first, "Let's follow the old rules."

As he spoke, Mr. Xia at the side was already helping to drag the table back.

This time, everyone was even more speechless.

You two really enjoy watching the fun!

Still following the old rules?

You can just announce it to Lao Niu!

Old Sun almost jumped up and pointed at the two of them, saying they were shameless.

When we used to follow the old rules, it was always when the two sides were evenly matched.

Just like him and Old Xia, their overall strength is equally matched, and the winner depends on who has the lowest bottom line.

But if we really talk about combat effectiveness, who among these old guys can compare with Lao Niu's physique?

After hearing this, Mr. Sun snorted coldly and dragged the table back.

The loser does not lose the formation.

How can we retreat without fighting?
On the other side, Lao Li also moved the table back tacitly.

After a while, a "martial arts training ground" was vacated.

Old Huang and Old Xia stood at the door, each holding a cigarette, and then looked at the old guys who were exercising around them.

"By the way, I heard that Lao Qin asked you to go to the logistics department?"

Elder Xia suddenly asked. Elder Huang flicked away the ash from his cigarette and nodded, "Yes."

"I called before the holiday and was told that the plane had been made and it was a good time for testing."

"I wanted to go to the Northeast, but I thought the journey was too far, so I didn't go."

Old Xia exhaled a cigarette and said, "You really don't want to go!"

"Haha, you figured it out."

"This time the three-machine tribe fell behind. I heard that there were problems with the engines they developed. Zhang Ban was upset."

"If I go, it will only give Lao Qin a bad reputation. How will we meet in the future?"

Xia Lao nodded, "That's true."

"But can the logistics department do it?"

Huang Lao took two sips of his lips, looked at the old cow and said quietly, "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"

"I hope it works!"

……

South of Shengjing, test flight field. The sky is high and clear, the sun is shining, and there are no clouds.

There was nothing around, not even a bird was to be seen.

Starting from several miles away, there were guard teams all around, protecting the place inside and out.

Anyone who wants to come in must undergo strict inspection.

Not far away, an iron-white airplane was parked on the stand.

Beside it, engineers were holding notebooks and doing the final check.

Other ground crew members also made preparations for the flight.

A hundred meters away.

A row of chairs were neatly arranged, and the water cups on the table were arranged in a straight line.

But at this time, these seats were empty and no one was sitting there.

In front of the seats, a group of people were chatting with their hands behind their backs, their eyes occasionally looking forward to the plane waiting to take off.

In the crowd, Mr. Qin from the Logistics Department stood with his hands behind his back.

Compared to other people's expectations, Mr. Qin looked calm on the surface, but he was actually very nervous.

Of course, several leaders of the aircraft factory were as nervous as he was.

This test was originally planned as a tribute to the National Day.

But due to various reasons, it had to be delayed until now.

And today's test flight is just the first one.

Compared to the enthusiasm of others, the smiles on a few people's faces were mostly perfunctory.

"Lao Qin, is there any problem with your engine?"

Old Qin was watching the test pilot in front of him making final preparations when he suddenly heard a familiar voice and looked back.

"Old Zhang, Old Chen, why are you here?"

The people who came were none other than Mr. Zhang and Mr. Chen, veterans from the Third Ministry of Machine Building.

"We were here a long time ago, but you were focused on the front and didn't notice."

Old Chen said this and then looked at the people coming around.

After a quick look, I found that except for the three of them, the others were not there.

I guess they don't want to put too much pressure on me.

"Old Zhang, I'm telling you the truth, I really have no idea."

When Old Qin saw the two men approaching and heard Old Zhang's question, he realized that there was nothing to hide at this point.

"What? Didn't you guys take the test?"

Before Mr. Zhang could say anything, Mr. Chen spoke in surprise.

Mr. Zhang standing by showed an expression that said "as expected".

Although their engine was started from scratch, they had experience in previous production design and the production speed was not slow.

The reason why he fell behind the Logistics Department was that the people in the Logistics Department did it faster, and also, he had no confidence.

In other words, the people under him did not have sufficient confidence.

This is an engine. If you are not careful, someone might die.

There are only so many excellent test pilots in the country. If one is missing, it will be a loss.

Therefore, when the aircraft factory wanted to complete the task as quickly as possible and catch the last train to present the gift shortly after the National Day holiday, he did not volunteer, but gave the opportunity to the Logistics Department.

As for the engine of the Logistics Department, although he was not clear about its specific performance, according to Director Zheng and his colleagues' understanding, it was almost the same as their engine.

In some aspects, changes were even made to the original design due to materials and precision.

In the words of Director Zheng, if we can achieve 80% of the design, we will be considered successful.

"Old Chen, we have tested it."

"And after multiple tests, the results of each test can meet the design requirements."

"Well, then what are you worried about?"

Old Chen was even more puzzled. There was no problem at all, so why did you want to create another problem?

What is this thinking?

Old Qin just shook his head without explaining.

Seeing this, Zhang Laobang said, "The engine is only an important part of the aircraft. It also needs to adapt to the other structures of the aircraft."

Having said that, Mr. Chen looked at the plane in front of him.

The two of them followed his gaze.

"This experimental aircraft was only finalized in September, and all requirements are very high."

"But the engine has only been installed for less than half a month, and you're going to take it into space now."

"It's just an experiment, there's no need to be so hasty."

"Just for a reputation, is it worth taking this risk?"

Mr. Chen was silent and Mr. Zhang sighed.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd. The three of them looked over and saw a pilot saluting over here, then turning around and getting on the plane.

"It's about to begin."

Old Chen said this, and then came to the command center not far away, where the voice of the pilot was coming from.

Old Qin looked at the figure going up step by step into the plane, and his palms were already sweating.

'Come on, come on!'

Shouting in his heart, Old Qin wished that time would pass quickly so that he could bypass this part and tell him the result directly.

If he succeeds, he will return to the present and continue reading.

But if he fails, he won't want to stay here anymore.

But time will not listen to him, and not a single minute or a second will change.

The plane began to enter the runway and the pilot was ready.

Then, under the command of the ground personnel, it began to accelerate.

"Normal acceleration, normal maneuverability"

As the pilot spoke out instructions through the microphone, a group of staff around were nervously recording them.

Mr. Chen, Mr. Qin and a group of staff members were listening nervously.

Every word the pilot said made them tense.

Gradually, the aircraft began to carry out experiments in the sky according to the predetermined plan, and various parameters were continuously collected.

"I'm going to go to 8 meters."

After a long time, the pilot's voice was heard, and everyone at the scene slowed down their breathing after hearing it.

"permit."

The on-site commander shouted as if he had made up his mind.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Chen immediately picked up the telescope and looked at the black spot.

The next second, the black spot was climbing up like a flea.

Everyone around him stared in amazement.

"Not good. Hehehe"

There was a busy tone in the microphone, and everyone rushed forward immediately. Old Qin squeezed in even more frantically. Those two words were like a battle signal, making his heart beat faster.

"Shen Fei 001, please answer if you hear me!"

"The engine is out. I'm restarting it."

"No, I can't control it anymore."

The microphone was noisy, but I could hear the other person's voice.

"Shen Fei 001, parachute. I order you to parachute immediately."

Old Qin was shouting loudly, while Old Zhang was holding a telescope, looking at the circling and falling plane with trembling hands.

Boom~~~
Thirty-two seconds later.

A ball of sparks suddenly appeared not far away, followed by thick black smoke.

At the same time, an umbrella flower floated in the sky.
