Scholars in the courtyard

Yang Xiaotao returned to the rolling mill purely because he wanted to work overtime with a group of old guys. After all, he insisted on his job at such an old age. As a young man, he had no reason to leave early.

Let's talk about jobs.

Ha ha.

They all shine for the sake of revolutionary construction, so what is the difference between high and low?
If it is really necessary, in the eyes of this group of masters, it is also the level of technology and ability.

Of course Yang Xiaotao is at the top of the rolling mill in this regard.

Put the car away, the children's affairs have been arranged, and it's time to watch tomorrow's exam.

I believe that the candidates who have been tortured by 'brushing questions' will have stronger psychological quality.

When I came to the warehouse, I was still busy inside. At night, after get off work in the sun, it finally got a little cooler. I don’t know when two steam fans appeared at the door, and they were spinning loudly, bringing the wind into the warehouse.

Yang Xiaotao had just entered the warehouse, before he was ready to start working, when a figure walked out of it.

"Old Chen, why are you here?"

Seeing that it was Chen Gong, Yang Xiaotao hurried forward to greet him.

"Let's go out and talk."

Chen Gong's face was serious, and Yang Xiaotao's heart skipped a beat.

The two came to the door of the warehouse, Chen Gong took out a cigarette and handed it to Yang Xiaotao, the two lit it in the dark night, sparks flickered along with the smoke.

"Something happened, let me tell you."

Chen Gong spoke, Yang Xiaotao listened carefully.

"The data and materials required for several important parts you submitted are not qualified in China."

"what material?"

"It's the kind of tungsten alloy steel you said."

"Tungsten alloy? Is there any in China?"

Chen Gong nodded. He had been inquiring about the news for the past two days. Several large steel mills had called to inquire, even the most famous Anhai Steel Mill.

The other party's answer was that they were still researching it.

In other words, there is no tungsten alloy that Yang Xiaotao needs in China.

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath, thinking about the countermeasures.

The reason why he chooses tungsten alloy is that this metal has high hardness and good wear resistance. Of course, Yang Xiaotao can also choose ordinary quenched steel instead, but as the first machine tool based on the "master machine", Yang Xiaotao does not want to be fooled. I don't even want to leave regrets in the end.

"Can't you think of a way?"

Chen Gong was silent, and nodded after a long time, "Tomorrow, let's talk to Lao Yang and ask him to respond to his superiors."

"At the moment, this is the only way to go. If it really doesn't work, let's see if there are any abroad."

After Chen Gong finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao was also helpless.

He doesn't know much about steelmaking.

As for domestic steel mills, regardless of whether he works in a steel rolling mill, he often deals with Gangte, but when it comes to production technology, he is not as good as a steel mill worker.

"Let's do this first."

After Chen Gong finished speaking, he walked towards the office. He still wanted to find someone to ask if there was any.

Yang Xiaotao went back to the warehouse, and Chang Mingjie, who was beside him, came with the blueprint, and asked Yang Xiaotao after seeing him.

"Team leader, Deputy Director Chen mentioned it just now."

"Look, if the parameters of these components are changed, the existing steel in our factory should be usable."

It is said that Yang Xiaotao took the design drawing, which is the important cutting and stamping parts of the machine tool.

"Changgong, if we use our ordinary steel, do you think it will be useful for some alloy processing?"

"A knife can't cut meat, so it's not as useful as a stick."

"Forging iron requires hard work."

Chang Mingjie nodded helplessly after hearing this. He just gave his own opinion, so that the machine tool can be completed smoothly, which can be regarded as handing over the task.

But he didn't want Yang Xiaotao to still insist on high-standard design. Although he made the final machine tool in this way,
As an engineer, he has also been on business trips and understands the domestic situation.

The kind of tungsten alloy that Yang Xiaotao needs is not much in the neighboring countries, let alone in China.

The Alliance definitely has it, but given the current international situation, it would be strange for the Alliance to give it.

"Then these parts can only be delayed."

Chang Mingjie sighed helplessly, and Yang Xiaotao had no other choice. If he didn't want to settle down, he could only wait.

"Talk to Guanyu and the others, if you encounter such a part, keep it for a while, and wait for the steel to be made."

"I know!"

Back at his work station, Yang Xiaotao looked at the semi-finished product made in the morning and settled down to prepare for work.

But there is always a shackle in my heart, and I cannot meditate.

Liu Daming at the side saw Yang Xiaotao's strangeness, walked to the side, took the tools from Yang Xiaotao, and then started to work.

Yang Xiaotao didn't refuse either, but just stood aside and watched Liu Daming work.

It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the middle of the night that the people in the warehouse began to leave by hand. Zhang Guanyu and the others led the technical department to put away the qualified parts, and Wang Hao led people to guard them.

Yang Xiaotao went out with Liu Daming.

"I heard that steel is not enough, right?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded.

"Well, this is the situation in our country."

Liu Daming walked with his hands behind his back, "The rolling mill in our factory was made in Germany back then, and it was still being assessed by you."

"On that machine, the missing bolts need to be replaced because the steel is not up to standard."

"This kind of thing has been going on for more than a few years."

"It looks like we're going to make a new one and replace it, but in fact, it's just the materials used, which are made by others. The difference is getting old."

Liu Daming sighed all the way, the two went out of the gate, Yang Xiaotao remembered that the car was still in the shed.

Seeing Liu Daming's walking, Yang Xiaotao didn't have the heart to go back to catch the car, so he just followed.

"What's the situation in our steel factory?"

"You mean the SJS side?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded.

It is also the main factory that supplies steel to the rolling mills.

"I don't know the specifics, but a few years ago they were blowing the converter sideways, and the steel they produced was good. Later, I heard that they were going to build an oxygen blowing furnace, and the quality of the steel ingots produced was much better. I don't know if it is true or not."

Liu Daming muttered, Yang Xiaotao was at a loss, he didn't know much about steelmaking and oxygen blowing furnaces than Liu Daming.

The two walked to the fork in the road, and the dim light bulbs on the side of the road were shining yellow, like a beam of light in the dark night, shining vertically on the ground.

Liu Daming stopped, hammered his back twice, turned to Yang Xiaotao and said, "I know you may not like to hear this, but there are some things, you have to learn to compromise and learn to wait."

"What we are doing this time is a code-named mission. If we can't come up with a reasonable 'machine tool' in the end, this mission will be considered a failure."

"If so, what do you think our rolling mill will do in the future?"

After Liu Daming finished speaking, seeing Yang Xiaotao meditating there, he turned around and walked into the darkness.

Call ~
Exhaling lightly, Yang Xiaotao lowered his head, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly towards the courtyard.

When I got home, I first took a basin of water, washed it from head to toe, and finally took a shower before lying down in the room and getting ready to sleep.

Xiao Wei flew out from the head of the bed, seeing Yang Xiaotao's absent-minded appearance, she flew to Yang Xiaotao's chest, dancing the 'elf dance'.

"Xiaowei, it would be great if you were a golden elf."

Whoosh?

"Uh, it's okay, I mean the wood elves are fine too, of course it would be better to have a gold elf."

Whoosh?

"I mean as a company with you, maybe we can start a family. By the way, what will Jin and Mu give birth to? Water elves? Or something else?"

shhhhh!

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, sleep, sleep."

Yang Xiaotao cleanly put down his unnecessary thoughts and prepared to go to bed.

It's just that his mind is all about steel, and what Chang Mingjie and Liu Daming said, maybe that's what Chen Gong meant by looking for him.

'Do you really want to fool me once? '

The next day, after Yang Xiaotao got up, he picked two tomatoes from the yard for breakfast, leaving Xiaowei to watch the yard, and walked out the front door.

In the front yard, Yan Fugui got up early. The school organized the exam today. Candidates from several elementary schools around came. As a teacher of Hongxing Elementary School, he naturally assumed the responsibility of invigilating the exam.

What's more, he is leading the graduation class this year, and the students' test scores and enrollment rate are directly linked to his year-end evaluation and welfare, so he has to pay attention to it.

He was about to go out in the car, and then he saw Yang Xiaotao coming out of the hanging flower gate.

"Xiaotao, good morning."

Yan Fugui said hello, and Yang Xiaotao nodded to Yan Fugui when he heard the voice.

"Morning, Uncle Yan."

"Xiaotao, didn't you ride a bike today?"

"No, walk and exercise."

"Oh, young people are good. By the way, I read yesterday, and the children in Yangjiazhuang are all good. They are all polite and good students."

"Also, I heard that our district has recruited a lot of junior high school students this year, and I reckon that a few more people will be admitted to junior high school this year."

"Last year, the whole school was admitted to 36 junior high schools. Of course, the school in Xicheng was the best, and only 8 were admitted."

The two walked to the entrance of the alley together, Yan Fugui was like a chatterbox, pouring out everything he knew and heard, Yang Xiaotao just listened and didn't say much.

As for the children's exams, he thinks it's better not to create pressure. Everything that needs to be done has been done, and the next step is the children's own business.

After the two separated, Yang Xiaotao sped up a little, and then came to the rolling mill, waiting for news from Chen Gong.

In the office, Lou Xiaoe also heard about the problems she had encountered, but she knew nothing about steel.

I can only hope that Deputy Director Chen can find suitable materials to help tide over the difficulties.

In the morning, Yang Xiaotao finished handling the accumulated affairs, and came to the warehouse to help with work after eating.

Now, each group is progressing smoothly, except for encountering unsolvable problems and needing to wait, everything else is okay.

It just takes more and more time and effort as the parts become more difficult.

The bed team led by Chen Binling made the fastest progress, and the bed has been preliminarily completed.

The bed of the machine tool is mainly composed of steel plates.

In order to make this lathe, the rolling mill took out a lot of steel. Yang Xiaotao tried it and found that it fully met the design requirements and could provide sufficient stability for the machine tool and ensure the accuracy of the machine tool.

The other three groups have more or less encountered problems, and the progress is not fast.

In the middle of the afternoon, Chen Gong came to the warehouse in a state of disappointment. Seeing him like this, Yang Xiaotao knew that the matter had not been resolved.

Sure enough, Chen Gong asked someone to inquire again, not to mention those big factories, no one heard of making them even in small factories.

Yang Xiaotao didn't say much, just waiting for news from Yang Youning.

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao was called to the office by Yang Youning.

"The news from Old Liu is that there are not many reserves in this area in the country. He is asking his superiors for instructions, but don't expect too much."

Yang Youning also sighed. Originally, he wanted to do a big job with great enthusiasm, but he didn't want to be stumped by the most basic materials.

"We don't use it much, but this is very important."

"I know that, but you have to be prepared."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao remained silent.

With helplessness and remorse on his face.

Who would have thought that steel would become the most critical and shortest board in the project.
