Scholars in the courtyard

The next day, after lunch, Yang Youning called Yang Xiaotao to the office again.

"Xiaotao, the instructions from above regarding the use of tungsten alloys have come down."

"Tungsten alloy has other uses, do not agree to our request!"

Yang Xiaotao opened his mouth, and when the words in his mind came to his lips, he finally swallowed them.

Perhaps these tungsten alloys have more important uses.

After all, there are too many places that are needed these days.

"What about abroad? Can you try to import it?"

Yang Xiaotao still did not give up, but Yang Youning shook his head, "You know the international situation, so there is no import."

"Besides, do we have money to buy?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly, feeling unwilling.

China is so big, with a vast land and abundant resources, and outstanding people.

Why is it so difficult to do something?

And he finally understood that some machines have been around for so long, and the principles are all ready-made, so why can't they be manufactured in China.

It now appears that the design problem is only part of the story.

More importantly, the lack of basic materials cannot meet the needs of production.

Just like a building, if the foundation is not stable, it cannot bear high-rise buildings.

"Don't feel burdened. If you don't have this one, just change it. Old Chen said, we have hardened steel, which is not bad, and the hardness is not bad."

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was a little depressed, Yang Youning could only comfort him.

Young people, too hard to break easily, he knows.

"Listening to people's advice to eat enough, we have to conform to the current national conditions."

"Although I also feel helpless, the situation is stronger than the people, and we have no choice."

Yang Youning was relieved, Yang Xiaotao listened and nodded.

"Right now, that's all there is to it."

Although it is very reluctant, but the national conditions are the same and the facts are the same, I have to bow my head.

After leaving the office, Yang Xiaotao went back to the warehouse, called Chang Mingjie and Chen Bin, and explained the situation.

"Leader, if I use this kind of material, I can start working today."

"It's just the blueprint design, do you need to re-test the feasibility?"

Chang Mingjie explained with the previously prepared drawings.

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath. He also knew that if the materials were different, the design would have to be changed according to the situation.

Otherwise, if you continue to use the previous data, you will only make a difference, or even cause problems.

However, Yang Xiaotao was still worried about whether the change of the data in this core part would affect other parts.

Even the design drawings need to be completely torn down and rebuilt.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao had a headache.

It was thought that the machine tool in the northwest could be completely reproduced, but now, a change must be made.

"Give me the blueprint."

Yang Xiaotao put away the relevant drawings. Everyone in the warehouse also saw that something was wrong, but no one dared to come forward and ask.

After Yang Xiaotao left, everyone inquired about the news.

After knowing the situation, they all sighed.

The heavy burden of revolutionary construction rests on our shoulders.

Back in the office, Yang Xiaotao sat in front of the table in a daze.

Lou Xiao'e walked in from the outside, glanced at Yang Xiaotao, and wanted to say something, but finally said nothing.

At noon, Yang Xiaotao left the rolling mill after eating. The children had finished their exams, so he needed to send them back and pick up Ran Qiuye by the way.

After the exam is over, and the due date is approaching, Yang Xiaotao is worried that Ran Qiuye is in the country, especially this time she is pregnant with two, it is best to go to the hospital for insurance.

Driving away from the rolling mill, Yang Youning and Chen Gong in the office looked at the leaving car and sighed.

"The blow is not small!"

Chen Gong said indifferently, more helpless in his words.

Who would have thought that something went wrong where it should least be.

"It's not too small for anyone!"

"I asked Chang Mingjie and the others."

Yang Youning looked at the car leaving and looked up at the hot sunshine, not a single cloud in sight.

"Xiaotao's design is fine. If it is replaced with other steel materials, the hardness cannot meet the requirements, and the function of this machine tool will be useless."

"The original idea was that the moon is reflected in the mirror. No wonder he couldn't accept it."

Not to mention that Yang Xiaotao couldn't accept it, even he couldn't accept it either.

Obviously it can be used as the 'master machine' of a rolling mill to produce more machine tools!
Mingming's plan lists a large number of uses, depicts a bright future, and realizes the leap of the rolling mill!

But now, it's all discounted.

If they are discounted together, they will also be honored.

After hearing this, Chen Gong slowly sat back on his chair.

"Old Yang, you said that it has been more than ten years since the liberation, and the steel mill has not made any progress?"

"We have been shouting all day long to make so much iron and produce so much steel. After working for a long time, we are just shouting from below. At the critical moment, it will shut down."

"You said we need resources. We don't lack them either. The tungsten mines in the south are dug out every year, but why can't we make them?"

Yang Youning also sighed, "You think it's a joke, a steel formula has been studied for many years and you haven't figured it out, who is to blame?"

"For this matter, Mr. Xia asked the person in charge of the steel industry on the spot, where did the tens of millions invested by the state go?"

"Guess what, the person in charge felt aggrieved with a grieving woman, and stretched out his hand to talk about everything from raw materials to equipment to R&D, and Mr. Xia didn't have to talk about it."

"If your words are bad or rough, there is nothing these people can do about it."

Chen Gong was speechless, and then the entire office was silent.

In Liu Huaimin's office.

"Director Liu, what did the logistics department say?"

On the opposite side, Director Liu who came from Mr. Xia shook his head, "The logistics people still don't agree."

"What's the reason? They have so many, what's wrong with sharing some!" "I didn't say the reason, but after Xia Lao confirmed with his superiors, he didn't ask again."

"Perhaps there is a special reason for this."

Director Liu thought of the momentary surprise on Mr. Xia's expression when he hung up the phone, and then stopped mentioning it, so he knew that there must be some unknown secret in it.

"Is there any other way?"

Liu Huaimin knew that things that he didn't even know at this level must be important secrets and should not be asked.

But regarding the rolling mill, he still wants to work hard.

After all, it was the first code-named mission in the rolling mill, and it was anticlimactic, which hurt morale too much.

Director Liu frowned after hearing this, "At present, some large domestic factories may have inventory, but there is no guarantee. Besides, if there is, it may not be much."

"I'll go back and call and ask."

Liu Huaimin nodded, but a sense of gloom arose in his mind, "How far has our tungsten refining technology reached? How many more years will it take?"

Director Liu bowed his head again, this is still a difficult question to answer.

"Foreign methods and technologies have always been kept secret, and the alliance only knows one plasma exchange method, but how to operate it has always been a secret."

"Comrades also conduct many experiments, but if there is a slight mistake in this thing, it will easily fail."

Liu Huaimin took a deep breath, feeling very helpless.

This time, he did not expect that the production of a machine tool would expose so many problems.

No welding rod, no alloy.

Not even basic raw material extraction is possible.

You know, that machine tool was produced decades ago, and it cannot even be copied in China.

It can be seen that the gap between China's basic industry and Western developed countries is still huge.

This also allowed Liu Huaimin to finalize a direction in his mind, and he must build basic industries.

On the other side, Yang Xiaotao drove to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, where the children were visiting the Agricultural Department led by Liu Yonghui and Li Lanxin.

When Yang Xiaotao found the children, seeing the relaxed smiling faces, he was relieved.

"Teacher Yang, we have finished the exam."

"Teacher Yang, many of the questions are of the same type we have done, and they are quite easy."

"Also, the Chinese composition, Mr. Ran's bet is correct, we have written it before."

When the children saw Yang Xiaotao coming, they rushed to greet him one after another, shouting and chirping. Liu Yonghui could not hide his excitement at the side.

After the exam, the children got together and explained the answers. According to his budget, it was better than what he imagined.

"Really? So everyone can get a hundred points in the exam?"

The children smiled and looked around. Although they didn't say anything, they all showed confident expressions.

Yang Xiaotao smiled, feeling relieved at this moment.

The world has changed a lot because of his arrival.

But at this moment, what made him most proud was the group of children in front of him.

Without his presence, perhaps some of them would still be working on the land, perhaps watching their younger siblings at home, doing housework, or becoming illiterate farmers, and their lives would become ordinary.

But now, they have become a student, embarking on a completely different path from their parents.

Their future will be bright.

And Yang Xiaotao, with his actions, changed the fate of these children.

Is there anything more worthy of pride than changing people's destiny?

"When I get home, I'll buy you roast duck!"

Yang Xiaotao said proudly, and the children on the side immediately jumped up, shouted loudly, and smiled even more.

Afterwards, Yang Xiaotao followed him around the Academy of Agricultural Sciences for a while, and many children showed yearning expressions, especially the bright offices, it must be nice to work in them.

After visiting the office, Yang Xiaotao asked the children to get on the car of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and return to Yangjiazhuang first.

He went to meet with Dean Deng. The two talked about the northwest corn. It was mid-June and the 'detasseling' operation was about to be carried out. Gao Yufeng was still in the south and had not returned. Dean Deng meant to let Yang Xiaotao was prepared, maybe he would be asked to take action.

Yang Xiaotao originally wanted to refuse, but this time the children accepted the favor of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and the progress of the lathe was slow, so he hesitated for a while, then nodded and agreed.

However, he can't guarantee that he will be able to go. After all, there are too many things to do, and there is still a wife who is waiting to give birth at home, so let the Academy of Agricultural Sciences make two-handed preparations.

Dean Deng nodded in agreement, mentally calculating that this move to help the child was the right move.

Leaving the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Yang Xiaotao fulfilled his promise with the children, drove to Quanjude, bought three roast ducks with money, and no one would sell them any more. Only.

Of course, three roast ducks are not enough to eat, Yang Xiaotao also took out seven or eight pieces of old ham from the space, which were all in stock from before.

Recently, I have to praise credits to upgrade, and there are fewer things to redeem.

Back at Yangjiazhuang, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao came to the school with a roast duck.

At this moment, Mrs. Yang is leading a group of teachers to listen to the children talking about the exam in the classroom. Teacher Hong and Ran Qiuye are holding a notebook to write down. This is the first time for Yangjiazhuang Primary School to take the exam, and record these precautions. In the future, prepare for the next exam.

Yang Xiaotao entered the teacher carrying his things, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Especially the roast duck wrapped in oiled paper, because Yang Xiaotao put it in the space, it was still mild and fragrant when it was taken out.

"Promise the children to eat roast duck, look, I did it."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and raised the roast duck, reaching out to the children, whooped in the classroom.

Others didn't care when they saw it, they all knew that Yang Xiaotao could earn money, and ordinary people might be reluctant to take out this little thing, because it would hurt their muscles and bones.

But Yang Xiaotao has a deep family background.

Of course, it also depends on whom.

Among other things, Yang Xiaotao spared no effort to support the school, from textbooks to pencils, from teaching materials to daily life, and even provided scholarships every year. This kind of investment was not only supported by the children, but also by the villagers.

"Mr. Yang, your strategy for brushing the questions is really good."

Teacher Hong smiled and stepped forward to take a piece of ham, weighing it in his hand, but couldn't find a suitable word.

"It's a coincidence."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said the answer, and everyone laughed.

"Although it's a trick, it's a good way to work. We can't tell it, keep it secret."

Teacher Zhang answered with a smile, making everyone in the room nod affirmatively.

Compared with those in the city, these children have already lost at the starting line, and some even only went to school for two years, which is a natural gap with those who have received education since childhood.

They don't care if they use some means, or means that are beneficial to them.

When I went to junior high school, I didn't learn the same thing.
