Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Early the next morning, Jiang Chen drove Shangguan Wan'er out of the courtyard and went straight to the train station.

At half past eight, the train from Sijiucheng to Gangdu slowly left the station.

There are not many people taking the train now, and many seats are empty.

There was no one sitting next to Shangguan Wan'er and Jiang Chen, and there was only a middle-aged couple sitting on the opposite seat.

Although Shangguan Wan'er came from a scholarly family, she was highly educated and courageous. After the battle, she simply leaned on Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen also stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, making her lean more comfortably.

The wife opposite looked at them with a bit of envy in her eyes, and said to the man next to her: "Look at me, how affectionate and sweet they are."

The man smiled and said, "It's normal for a young couple to be like glue."

"We are already an old married couple, how can we compare with others."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Brother, what you said is wrong."

"Couples have to live a lifetime. If you want to live a meaningful life, you can't be too ordinary. Occasionally a little romance and some warm little gestures are all good spices for life."

"Girls are emotional creatures. If you give her warmth and care, she will treat you better."

The woman said: "Well, I think so too."

"A lifetime is so long. If it is too dull, it is not life. It can only be called alive."

The man glanced at his lover next to him and laughed: "Little brother, there is some truth in what he said."

"By the way, my name is Malu. This is my lover Bailu. She went to Baofu to see her sister and is now preparing to return to her hometown. What about you?"

There is no direct train from Baofu to Gangdu, so you usually need to transfer trains in Sijiucheng.

Jiang Chen said: "My surname is Jiang. You can just call me Xiao Jiang. She is Wan'er."

"We are on a business trip to Gangdu and may have to stay there for a few days."

He did not say his name. After all, that name had been on the front pages many times and could easily be recognized by others.

Jiang Chen glanced around and saw many people smoking directly in the carriage.

He just took out the cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Ma Lu.

Ma Lu reached out and took it: "Oh, it's so rare to have both jobs."

"Looking at your looks, I know that life at home must be easy."

Bailu corrected her from the side: "That's called talent and beauty. Natural beauty has nothing to do with whether life is good or not."

"My sister, living alone with two children, must have a hard life, but she is still so good-looking."

In fact, egrets are not bad looking either.

Malu said: "Your sister was really embarrassed when she was alone."

"Now that brother-in-law Daqing is taking care of me, my life is not bad, okay? My complexion has improved."

Obviously, he still insists on living a good life, which will make people look better.

Egret's sister is alone, taking care of her children.

Brother-in-law of the Qing Dynasty.

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Wait a minute, did you just say brother-in-law of the Qing Dynasty?"

Malu nodded: "Well, yes. His surname is He, and he is a cook at Baofu Steel Rolling Mill. He cooks well and his income is not bad."

"Had her sister not met him, her life would have been even more difficult now."

Isn't this a coincidence?

Jiang Chen also didn't expect that the random people he met on the train would actually have some connection with him.

He said slowly: "To be honest, this world is really small. I also know the He Daqing you just mentioned."

"Actually, if we really think about it, it's not that we know him, but that we know his children, especially his daughter, who has a pretty good relationship with us."

If He Yuyu had not had a good relationship with him and was married to Lei Jie, Jiang Chen might not have been willing to talk about this relationship.

Malu was also stunned: "What a coincidence?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Yes, that's why I said this world is small."

"Master He, are you working as a cook at Baofu Steel Rolling Mill now?"

Malu nodded: "Well, yes, he is the head chef there. The factory director thinks highly of him. When important people come to visit, they all appoint him to be the chef."

With this relationship, the chat between the few people became more relaxed.

Although Egret doesn't talk much, Malu is very talkative.

The atmosphere in the car is also relaxed.

Malu said: "Xiao Jiang, what do you do?"

Jiang Chen said: "I work at Sansteel Group, which is the company where He Daqing worked before."

Ma Lu said: "If you think about it this way, our work can be considered to have some origins."

Jiang Chen asked: "Oh! What does my brother do?"

Malu said: "I am building ships at Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Group."

Speaking of shipbuilding, Jiang Chen immediately thought of one thing - Q345.

Isn’t this kind of structural special steel suitable for use in various types of ships, bridges, large machinery, etc.

So Jiang Chen asked: "Wow, the technical content of this job is very high. At least it is much higher than that of our steel rolling mill."

Ma Lu waved his hand: "Hey, that's not what I said. They are all for building flower growers. So what's the difference between high and low technical content?"

"Besides, we can't do anything without the steel you process."

Jiang Chen then asked: "How is your shipbuilding situation now? Is it going smoothly?"

Malu sighed: "Hey, it's not going well, big brother."

Bailu reached out and touched Ma Lu's arm, hinting that he had something he shouldn't say.

Ma Lu was stunned, raised his head and looked at Jiang Chen and Shangguan Wan'er, and then said:

"It's okay, I won't reveal all the secrets. And you two don't look like bad people."

Jiang Chen said: "I know that the withdrawal of Big Brother experts has had a certain impact on all walks of life."

"You are using Big Brother technology, so it will definitely be more affected."

Malu said: "It is true that they have support, but it cannot be said that it is their technology. After all, our ancestors were once unrivaled in the world in shipbuilding."

"But the key point is that after they left, the materials they promised to build ships for us are no longer available. Now our steel materials basically cannot meet the standards of shipbuilding."

"If we can't find a solution, our 10,000-ton ship may be ruined."

It is a great honor to participate in the construction of the first 10,000-ton ship.

But now it is obvious that because Big Brother has withdrawn and the supply of special steel is gone, it cannot continue.

In the original world, the first domestically produced ocean-going cargo ship of 10,000 tons for a flower grower was indeed a bit of a tragedy.

He was designed by Big Brother and built by Dalyan Shipyard.

Four years later, it made its maiden voyage on April 4, but hit a rock and sank the next day.

Of course, Big Brother not only provided the design of this ship, but also provided a lot of support in terms of materials.

Now, the ship is still being outfitted in the Dalyan dockyard, but progress is slow due to lack of materials.

Especially high-quality structural steel.

Therefore, the construction of this big ship has almost come to a standstill, and Ma Lu only has time to go to Baofu to visit his wife's sister.

But, isn’t this a coincidence?

The Q345 formula has been obtained. After Chen Tongshan and others completed the development of Heart Steel, they have begun the research and development of Q345.

Once this steel comes out, it can prevent the tires of the first 10,000-ton cargo from being killed.
