Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 453 New Projects

Yang Xiaotao walked in the door and closed it by the way.

Seeing Yang Youning sitting at the table, a smile appeared on his face after glancing at him, Yang Xiaotao immediately stepped forward, "Director, I'm back to report."

"You boy, sit down quickly. The food is good when we go out this time."

"Hey, Director Wang of the No. [-] Machinery Factory has invited the host several times, and the food is not bad."

Yang Youning picked up the water glass and looked at Yang Xiaotao, "It's not bad, you drank him down."

"Uh! Yes, I drank a little."

"Come on, how did you get the name Wang Dahai? You don't know and I don't know? I didn't expect that you kid can drink so much."

"But it's good to be able to drink. When something happens in the future, when you need you, you have to give me the top."

As Yang Youning spoke, Yang Xiaotao was confused.

What is the need for this?Need a drink fix?
Yang Youning ignored Yang Xiaotao's doubts, and took out a commendation document from the drawer, "The superior called you on Saturday and praised you for a while."

"This was delivered to me yesterday, take it and see for yourself."

Yang Xiaotao hurried forward to take it.

"Third class?"

Yang Xiaotao glanced at it, surprised only for a moment, and then returned to normal immediately.

"You boy, please be content. This third-class merit was invited by Liu Dehui for you. They are closely related to the army. It seems that you have solved a lot of problems this time."

Yang Xiaotao rolled up the document and put it away, feeling nothing. This thing is often seen on the Internet in later generations, so-and-so's old man is piled up, and so-and-so is placed on the kang.

What's the use?
He's not in the army.

It's been useless for at least a few years.

"It's nothing, it's just a matter of duty. It's a matter of duty."

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's calm appearance, Yang Youning shook his head not funny.

Although it is a third-class merit, this thing is not someone in the army, and it is not easy to obtain it.

This guy still doesn't know the weight in it.

He took out a pack of cigarettes directly from the drawer and threw it over, "Don't disturb my work if I'm fine."

Yang Xiaotao quickly followed up, and then laughed.

"Well, factory manager, I really have something to discuss with you."

"Speak quickly if you have something to say."

"I want to build a steam-powered engine. I just want to use it on a water pump so that wells can be drilled quickly. With this pressurized well, more land can be irrigated. I'm working on a specific plan."

"What? What did you say?"

Before Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Yang Youning stood up from his seat.

"I said I wanted to build a steam engine..."

"Steam engine? New project?"

Before Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Yang Youning was eager to make sure.

"That's not a new project. After all, the steam engine has been around for more than 200 years, and now it's used a lot in China, so it's not a new project."

"I'm just using it for research to see if it can be used on a well drilling machine."

Yang Xiaotao is still very cautious, especially now that domestic steam engines are used a lot, even when internal combustion engines became popular later, steam engines were still functioning.

And after he inquired, a few years ago, some factories had manufactured steam engine locomotives, and even tractors powered by steam.

He didn't think about making any innovations, but just wanted to solve the power problem of the pressurized well.

"You wait for this matter first, I will call someone to discuss it together."

After hearing this, Yang Youning was not only not disappointed, but even more interested.

Yang Xiaotao was very excited when he even heard about the steam engine, which made Yang Xiaotao very puzzled.

"Xiao Li, Xiao Li!"

The door was pushed open, and Xiao Li ran in.

"Go and call Xu Yuanshan, Chen Gong."

"Yes."

Xiao Li ran out. If Secretary Liu hadn't been on a business trip, he might have called him too.

After a while, both Xu Yuanshan and Chen Gong came over, and they sat aside.

"Okay, let's talk about it quickly, what's good?"

Chen Gong heard that Yang Xiaotao had a new project, so he asked Yang Xiaotao to talk about it first.

The achievements made by the rolling mill in this period are obvious to all.

Even the superiors called every few days. Apart from praise, they added tasks, especially the heating furnace. The people stationed in the south responded back. The place with high altitude and low temperature had the strongest reaction.

Many places are waiting, and several factories in the south are already at full capacity, but they still cannot produce.

The problem in the south has been solved, but with such a large area in the northwest, the market is huge.

And in order to ensure the quality, many orders have been sent to their rolling mill. During the period after the year, the production workshop of the heating furnace has been operating at full capacity.

The heating furnace is like this, and the pressurized well is also hot.

Under the promotion of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the superiors have distributed the blueprints to various machinery factories in order to implement them as soon as possible.

Now, their rolling mill has faintly become the leader of new industries, which is why Secretary Liu is called out every now and then.

No way, if the economy wants to develop, there must be a way.

Relying on the original old business, sooner or later it will be eaten up.

Yang Youning looked at Yang Xiaotao, eager to try.

Afterwards, Yang Xiaotao wrote down the words "well drilling machine" on the paper, and then began to talk about his idea.

The three of them listened quietly, nodding from time to time, and their eyes lit up when they heard Yang Xiaotao mention the steam engine.

But they didn't interrupt Yang Xiaotao's narration, they just looked at each other, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the three of them looked at each other, and finally Chen Gong spoke first.

"This thing sounds good. It is a perfect match for drilling wells and matching the pressurized wells we produce."

"I think it can be done."

Xu Yuanshan nodded, "I also agree. But we need to produce samples first. If the cost is too high, it will be inconvenient to promote."

Yang Youning nodded, he could see that the most important thing here was the steam engine.

A steam engine is not a simple thing. It is okay for them to make some heating furnaces with simple technology in the rolling mill, but it is a bit difficult to make a steam engine.

But having said that, if the steam engine is really simple and practical, then it will be of great use.

A few years ago, Luoyang Tractor Factory was still thinking about making coal-fired tractors, but later it stopped because the steam engine was too big for it.

If Yang Xiaotao really develops this kind of steam engine, let alone a well drilling machine, even if he loses his legs, he will have to set up a separate workshop for him to produce steam engines.

"Do it with confidence and boldness, and talk about it after you figure it out."

Yang Youning held back the excitement in his mind, and made a firm decision to unify.

Afterwards, Yang Xiaotao turned and left, returning to the office.

He needed to get the steam engine out quickly. Although some materials were missing, what he needed was a small and simple steam engine. It was too complicated for rolling mills to produce, and too big for promotion.

Yang Xiaotao thought a lot, took out his notebook in the office and began to calculate.

After Lou Xiaotao came in, she just said a few words to her, then sat at the table and flipped through the books, writing and drawing in the notebook from time to time, but she couldn't understand, so she had to read in those books on her seat.

Such days seem boring, but in Lou Xiaoe's heart, such days are pretty good, at least better than staying at home.

On the other hand, after Yang Xiaotao left, Yang Youning and the other three did not leave the meeting.

"Old Yang, give it to us this time."

Chen Gong still spoke first, and the three of them understood the meaning of the words.

It is nothing more than the task of processing and building water wells. As for whether it will be successful.Chen Gong believed in Yang Xiaotao's ability.

"It's not done yet, you started to do it?"

Xu Yuanshan said something, but Chen Gong didn't take it seriously, "I believe him."

Xu Yuanshan snorted coldly, "It's not your turn either."

Yang Youning listened to the chatter of the two, but lit up a cigarette, "I think there are still too few people in the R&D team."

"I'm going to add a few more people."

After Xu Yuanshan and Chen Gong heard this, they immediately understood what Yang Youning meant, it was to put more burden on Yang Xiaotao.

Although it may not be heavy, but it can make people feel the importance they attach to Yang Xiaotao, that's enough.

"How many more? Who do you want to add?"

Xu Yuanshan asked.

They didn't take the research and development team seriously before, but the appearance of the heating furnace pressurized water well proved the value of the research and development team.

It's just that they put Yang Xiaotao as the leader of the research and development team at the beginning, purely for the sake of the clerk given by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and used it to increase his honor.

The same is true of Lou Xiao'e's arrangement later, which is purely regarded as an idle department.

But I didn't expect Yang Xiaotao to make achievements.

But even so, Yang Xiaotao's position as the group leader was not clearly defined in the factory, even if the superior came, he was still the only one, the group leader.

"Personnel are selected from the factory. They must be diligent and willing to learn. It is best to be young and energetic and able to keep up with Yang Xiaotao's thinking."

"You can't hold back."

"The specific number of people, I will discuss it with Lao Liu and listen to his opinion."

The two nodded after listening, but they knew in their hearts that with the increase in the number of people this time, a team leader would definitely not be enough, but they didn't know what status Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning could give.

The meeting ended and the two left.

Yang Youning was still sitting on the chair, his face remained unchanged.

In fact, adding Yang Xiaotao has another meaning.

As Yang Xiaotao's performance became better and better, it became more and more difficult to keep him, so he had to think about the future.

If Yang Xiaotao was transferred, or went on a business trip or something, there must be someone in their rolling mill.

Now let people follow Yang Xiaotao, no matter what, they can learn some skills.

This can be considered a rainy day.

It's just that he has no idea what the effect will be.

At noon, Yang Xiaotao was still flipping through the books, but Lou Xiaoe stood up.

"Mr. Yang, it's time to eat. It's time!"

Yang Xiaotao looked up and saw Lou Xiaoe's confident face, raised his hand to check the time, "Almost forgot to eat."

Then he put the notebook in the book and walked out with Lou Xiaoe.

In the corridor, people from the publicity department also started to go out for dinner.

Xu Damao followed behind Yu Haitang, they were chatting and laughing, when they just left the door, they saw Yang Xiaotao walking side by side.

Xu Damao's complexion changed, especially when he saw Lou Xiao'e looking at Yang Xiaotao for a long time, he felt uncomfortable.

Yu Haitang saw a smile on Yang Xiaotao's face, and spoke first, "Mr. Yang, are you back?"

Reach out and don't hit the smiling person, although the relationship between the two is not harmonious.

Yang Xiaotao nodded and replied, "Well, I came back on Saturday."

"It's pretty fast. I heard that Quancheng has praised it when I went out this time. I haven't finished writing the broadcast script yet. I have time to talk to you this afternoon?"

Yu Haitang narrowed her eyes, her expression was adoring.

"I've been so busy these days, I don't have time!"

Yang Xiaotao walked down the stairs and spoke slowly.

Lou Xiaoe followed behind with a smile. Although she didn't know what Yang Xiaotao did in Quancheng, it must be a big deal.

Seeing this, Yu Haitang's smile faded away, and Xu Damao, who was at the side, let out a pooh when he saw Yang Xiaotao walking away.

"Haitang, it's time to eat. I heard that the pot-wrapped meat made by the chef of the second canteen is a must. Today I invite you!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Haitang immediately turned around enthusiastically, "That's a lot of money."

"What money is not money, I will buy it for you, I am happy."

"Then thank you Brother Da Mao!"

In the second canteen, Yang Xiaotao and Lou Xiaoe came straight, there were still people queuing at the door, Yang Xiaotao saw Wang Fa and the others and went to say hello.

Then go to the back line.

"Unexpectedly, with a new chef, the second canteen will come back to life!"

Yang Xiaotao knew Zhang Qingjun's ability and admired him in his heart.

Lou Xiaoe nodded after listening, "The master's craftsmanship in this piece is not worse than Shazhu's. The main reason is that it is rich in oil and water, and it is not so particular about cooking. The big guy has eaten here a few times, and he has come here."
