 Chapter 669669Deputy Chief Engineer

“Lu Ming!” In the busy workshop, the person in charge of the workshop stopped the engineer who was working. Lu Ming looked up and saw the person in charge walking over with a smile holding a stack of documents.

"What's the matter? Boss." Lu Ming stood up with a smile and rubbed his hands on his work clothes. There was engine oil on his fingers, and many parts had been removed from the machine next to him.

"What's wrong? Something went wrong again?" The person in charge asked curiously when he saw the disassembled engine.

"No, the team has come up with a new material and wants to test the strength of the big shaft. How about... help them replace the parts." Lu Ming smiled and pointed to the engine that was still being assembled over there. His leader explained.

 The leader nodded, and then continued to speak to Lu Ming: "Well, I came to you to ask if you are interested in going to Anpu."

"Anpu?" Lu Ming was a little confused when he heard this place. He really didn't know what there was in Anpu that was worthy of his involvement.

"Yes, Anpu! Some factory buildings have been built over there, and the machinery and equipment are being installed. A new factory will be built soon." The person in charge of the workshop handed the materials in his hand to Lu Ming: "The people above want to Find a person in charge of engine production who knows everything, and I will recommend you.”

 “Me?” Lu Ming felt inexplicably nervous when he heard his boss say this. He is indeed a very good engineer, but he is still a little unsure if he is allowed to work alone.

"I asked your teacher, and he said there is nothing wrong with you. In addition... I have also seen your work attitude, so I decided to recommend you." The boss patted Lu Ming's arm with the document in his hand. Said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, leader." Lu Ming's first thought was not about getting promoted and getting rich. What he thought about was that he might have to separate from his wife. He was going to work in Anpu, but his wife I can only stay in Copper City.

"Don't be so restrained. If you have any requests, just put them forward and I'll discuss it with the leader to see if I can help you solve it." The leader said and motioned for the two of them to go outside for a walk.

Lu Ming turned around and ordered to his apprentices: "Assemble carefully according to the drawings, don't make any problems! I will test it when I come back!"

"Understood! Master! Go and get busy!" The apprentices behind him obviously heard that Lu Ming was going to be transferred. They were all very happy about Lu Ming, and they all smiled brightly.

“Go in peace, master!” Another apprentice smiled and gave Lu Ming a thumbs up, as if he would leave the rest to me.

“I’ll take care of you when I get back!” Lu Ming pointed at his beloved disciples, then turned around and followed his leader out of the noisy workshop.

"I actually don't want you to be transferred. After all, the business aspect..." The person in charge of the workshop walked out of the workshop door, walked along the path and said to Lu Ming who was following him: "But the people above want to train you. I can’t hold you back and ruin your future.”

He took a deep breath and looked into the distance: "The environment there will definitely not be as good as here, and the accommodation conditions will definitely be a little worse, but you don't have to worry, it will be built over there sooner or later."

"And your position may need to be mentioned, and the salary will definitely be better, so the future will definitely be better." After the leader finished speaking, he looked at Lu Ming and said sincerely: "If you have any difficulties, just write to me. , an acquaintance is not that important.”

"Leader, I, I..." Lu Ming's eyes were red. He knew that the person in charge of the workshop who was about the same age as him was a good person. He handled things carefully and fairly, and no one in the workshop dissatisfied him.

“Let’s talk about it and see if there are any difficulties. If we don’t talk about it now, we won’t have anywhere to talk about it when we get to Ampke.” The factory area is lined with green trees, and green plants have been planted wherever trees can be planted.

Although there is still no awareness of environmental protection, for aesthetic reasons, the factory still encourages planting trees, and the surrounding area of ​​the factory is full of tall trees.

"I'm worried about my wife... I went to Anpu, and she can only stay in Tongcheng..." Lu Ming scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

"Okay, I understand. You need to prepare first and hand over the work... I ask the leader to clear the way for your wife. You can't let people work and break up other people's families, right?" The leader patted Lu Ming's shoulder: " When you get there, work hard and don’t ruin the name of our tank factory!”

“Yes!” Lu Ming promised, imitating a soldier.

“After you read the information, send it back to my office. It’s top secret, understand?” Pointing to the document in Lu Ming’s hand, the boss reminded him.

 “Understood!” Lu Ming nodded slightly.

After the leader left, he stood still and opened the information given to him - the name on it was very loud, Amp Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle Production Base.

 Armored reconnaissance vehicle? It was a new piece of equipment that Lu Ming had not learned about before. He looked back at the line diagram and some basic introductions, and roughly understood such a thing.

Theoretically speaking, this thing has better performance than the tanks currently used by other countries, and the eight-wheel design also takes into account the off-road performance to the maximum extent. Although a little bit of off-road capability is sacrificed, the greatly improved road driving capability can give this new weapon extremely high battlefield mobility.

  Troops using this weapon can advance quickly, enter the battlefield ahead of armored units, provide reliable intelligence reconnaissance for subsequent armored units, and can even complete breakthrough missions alone.

 It will completely replace the military horses currently used in large numbers by the Tang Army's scouts, giving the reconnaissance troops good protection capabilities. It can also carry radio equipment, something the cavalry cannot do.

What Lu Ming didn’t know was that the new armored reconnaissance vehicle could also carry better observation and targeting equipment, which could also improve the battlefield awareness of the reconnaissance troops.

 In more than a month, workers from Tang State built a huge industrial park in Anpu. Although it still looks like a construction site, it won't be long before they can start producing some parts.

 After all, Anpu’s railways already exist, so there are no problems with the transportation of raw materials. Workers drawn from various factories are also being assembled, and the machines are almost in place.

As for the green plants in the factory area, which have not yet been planted, the factory walls are still made of barbed wire, many of the factory buildings are just shacks, and the factory dormitories have just laid foundations... none of this seems to be important.

 Compared with the hardships we endured back then, these difficulties are nothing to mention. Today's workers in the Tang Dynasty can still endure hardship, and they are willing to endure hardship because the rewards are high.

 Because the Tang Dynasty itself was on the rise, many new factories were born every day, so there were many more jobs. There are many upward channels, so everyone doesn't think there is any problem if they endure hardship occasionally.

  Soon these people who are willing to endure hardship will obtain higher positions and enjoy better treatment. This is a virtuous cycle, which promotes the continuous development of Tang's industry.

Lu Ming continued to look down. He saw his position, which was the deputy chief engineer in the new factory. The chief engineer was a person he knew. He had met him in Tongcheng before. His technical level was really high.

“I hope she can also transfer there with me...” Lu Ming thought, and then prepared to return the documents in his hand.

When it was almost time to have dinner, Lu Ming returned to his small apartment. He opened the door and said to his wife who was cooking: "I'm back."

“Well, mop the floor first, I’ll be ready soon.” The wife was cutting a small piece of chicken on the chopping board and said to Lu Ming without raising her head.

Lu Ming was a little absent-minded. He put down his briefcase, washed his hands in the basin nearby, and then rubbed them on a blackened towel - his fingernails were full of grease and looked dark. , it’s always not clean.

"What's wrong? You don't look happy." Sensing Lu Ming's depression, his wife raised her head and asked.

“I may be transferred and promoted to deputy chief engineer.” Lu Ming explained.

"That's a good thing! We should celebrate... How about I go buy some meat and bring it back?" The wife became excited: "How about we also go to that newly opened restaurant to try it. I heard that although it is expensive, But it tastes really good.”

Lu Ming shook his head: "I won't go. I got a promotion... But, the deputy chief engineer is going to Ampudang."

"Anpu?" Lu Ming's wife's interest suddenly dissipated when she heard that her husband was going to be transferred to another city. She lowered her head to cut the chicken and asked, "Well, isn't that going to separate us?"

"Well, it's very possible." Lu Ming sighed. He didn't want to be separated from his wife. You know, this kind of thing happened often in the past. Many workers went out to work for two or three years, and as a result, their wives returned home and gave birth to two children.

“Then, what should we do with that house?” The wife didn’t expect that much, but she was worried that there would be problems with the small apartment that she and her husband finally got.

 According to the procedures, it is impossible for two employees to be allocated two houses, so either Lu Ming has no place to live in Anpu, or the small apartment she likes will be recycled.

"Sigh... I'll talk to the leader tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I won't go." Lu Ming sighed and decided to give up this opportunity for this small family.

In fact, there is another hidden problem for him when going to Anpu: if he has children in the future, the education in Anpu will obviously not be as good as that in Tongcheng.

 “This, how can this be possible?” His wife subconsciously spoke when she heard that Lu Ming wanted to give up. She was originally very happy today, but after hearing Lu Ming talk about this incident, she became depressed.

The chicken I was cutting in my hand, which I just bought, suddenly became less fragrant.
