The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

The successful development of the engine caused cheers in the laboratory.

Everyone hugged each other and clapped each other's hands.

Professor Zhang Ran sat alone next to the engine, with a happy smile on his face.

"Xiao Gao, go and invite Vice Principal Dong."

A young teacher in his 30s agreed and ran out of the laboratory.

"Xiao Ren, take a few students to clean the outdoor experimental bench and conduct tests on the outdoor experimental bench later."

"Okay!" A student pulled a few excited classmates and ran out of the laboratory.

"Here, let's lift the engine onto the transport flatbed."

The transport flatbed is a 4-wheel small flatbed trailer welded with angle steel, which can transport 500 kilograms of items.

It is a small motorized platform specially used to transport engines.

Everyone worked together to put the engine on the flatbed and carefully rolled it out of the laboratory.

As soon as he left the laboratory door, Vice Principal Dong trotted over.

From a distance, he started shouting: "How was it? Success?"

Professor Zhang Ran stepped forward and said, "I just tried the car in the laboratory and everything was normal."

"Okay, let me take a look at our engine. We have finally waited for this day."

Several people worked together to put the engine on the test bench and began to tighten the base screws.

The opportunity to initiate formal testing was given to the Vice-Chancellor.

He started the engine with a flushed face and it began to run smoothly.

He walked around the engine with fondness in his eyes.

The next day, the main leaders of the school rushed to the laboratory, accompanied by a director named Zhao from the Ministry of Machinery.

The laboratory is the same as yesterday, except that there are some students missing.

Li Yuan didn't want to participate. He still had national gift tasks waiting for him at home.

It was a pity that Professor Zhang Ran asked him to participate, so he had to continue this kindness.

It would be a lie to say that I am not moved by Professor Zhang’s high regard.

So, today he brought a sandalwood nameplate with the words H480 engraved on it.

“Dear leaders, please see, this engine is the final product of our many optimizations.

Our laboratory named it H480, H stands for Huaqing and Huaxia.

4 stands for 4-cylinder, and 80 is its maximum output power, 80 horsepower.

Compared with direct injection engines of the same specifications currently introduced in China, fuel consumption is reduced by 15% and weight is reduced by 23%.

The number of parts has been reduced by 12%.

Yesterday, it ran smoothly for 10 hours without stopping.

At the end of the report, please give your opinions from the leaders."

Principal Jiang walked over and took the name tag engraved with H480, and looked around.

"It's a very good carving. It seems to be made by classmate Li Yuan."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Yuan who was standing behind Zhang Ran.

Li Yuan took a step forward and said, "Hello, Principal Jiang, hello all leaders."

"Okay, okay, as a master, you can still lower your head and start over. It's worth learning from everyone."

"You flatter me".

After praising Li Yuan, Principal Jiang turned to Professor Zhang Ran.

"Professor Zhang, you have given the school a good start and filled a gap in the country. The most important thing is to have completely independent intellectual property rights.

Director Zhao, the next step is up to you."

“Don’t worry, we will ask professional units to conduct engine testing.

If the test meets the demand, we will arrange a receiving factory as soon as possible."

A week later, the test results were officially submitted to the conference table of the First Machinery Department.

Through discussion among the participants, the performance indicators of H480 were unanimously recognized.

After reporting to superior leaders for approval, it was initially determined to be manufactured in 8 factories.

On the same day, major newspapers across the country reported the good news.

A few days later, greater good news reached the laboratory.

On this day, there were more capable young people in and around the laboratory, and Li Yuan also found some familiar faces.

According to the rules, when everyone meets, they pretend not to know each other.

It was just an exchange of eyes, which was regarded as a greeting.

At 9 a.m., several white vans drove into the school and went directly to the laboratory of the Department of Agricultural Machinery.

The school leaders stood at the entrance of the laboratory and greeted the visiting leaders enthusiastically.

The leader who was at the forefront seemed to be a world away from Li Yuan.

The kind smile, upright posture, and handsome face make people feel friendly.

Keep shaking hands with everyone.

The arrival of the leader caused cheers in the front of the laboratory.

After shaking hands with all the leaders, he raised his right hand and waved to everyone with a smile.

Li Yuan stood behind Professor Zhang Ran, his eyes never leaving the leader.

Inadvertently, his eyes became blurry, and he wiped them hard, but to no avail.

If someone asked him why he was like this at this time, he would probably answer "I don't know."

Yes, I just don’t know, I just want to cry.

Li Yuan is very funny now, with a smile on his face and tears in his eyes.

A group of people walked into the laboratory, where the experimental prototype was placed on the experimental table in the middle.

The surrounding seats are against the wall, leaving enough space in the middle.

The leader looked at the engine and smiled heartily:

"Okay, we finally have our own engine. It's like the heart of the car, and we finally have an engine that's comparable to foreign engines.

Although there is still a gap with them, but with 80 horsepower, I firmly believe that you will definitely design a big guy with 160 horsepower or 200 horsepower.

Now we want to buy these good things, but the other party won’t sell them to us.

Now we have it ourselves, and they want to sell it, but we don’t want it anymore.”

As soon as the leader finished speaking, huge applause erupted from the audience.

The leader presses his right hand downward and looks behind him.

"Are the comrades from the Science and Technology Committee here?"

"Boss, here I am Han Cheng."

"Okay, Comrade Han Cheng, the laboratory of the Department of Agricultural Machinery is great. You must implement the incentives."

"Don't worry, we will have a meeting to discuss it when we get back."

On August 1955, 8, the 5th plenary session of the State Council passed the "Interim Regulations on Science Scholarships of the Chinese Academy of Sciences".

Regulations: All scientific research work or scientific works by citizens of the People's Republic of China have significant academic achievements or are of great significance to the development of the national economy and culture.

Regardless of whether they belong to individuals or collectives, scientific scholarships from the Chinese Academy of Sciences may be awarded in accordance with the provisions of these regulations.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences Science Prize is awarded every two years.

Divided into three categories: the first prize will receive bonus yuan, an honorary certificate and a gold medal.

The second prize will receive a bonus of 5000 yuan, a certificate of honor and a silver medal with gold edges.

The third place will receive a bonus of 2000 yuan, a certificate of honor and a silver medal.

Then the leader understood the details of the research and development and asked if there were any difficulties. After an hour, only the teachers and students in the laboratory were left in the laboratory.

Li Yuan sat on a chair under the window, holding a notebook in his hand with the leader's autograph on it:

I wish Comrade Li Yuan study hard and reach new heights bravely.

No one can touch this notebook, it is so precious.

This made Professor Zhang Ran pout, but he was actually jealous in his heart.

He also wanted such an autograph, but with his status, he couldn't do the behavior of asking for an autograph.

The most hateful thing is that Li Yuan, the only one who got an autograph, still shows off everywhere.

Others wanted to take it and have a look with their own hands, but he was like a hen protecting her chicks, determined not to let them touch it.

This makes all the teachers and students envious and hated.
