Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

“Fully automatic, safe and reliable.

The design should be simple, with as few parts as possible.

It is best to be easy to process and have low material requirements.”

Professor Xu spoke without hesitation.

Fang Xiang was stunned.

Good guy, really good guy.

This old Xu, just don’t want a wife.

Actually put forward such a condition.

"Wouldn't the AK47 and 56 meet the conditions you mentioned?"

Fang Xiang really wanted to roll his eyes, but luckily he held back.

But I still said it bluntly.

"Oh, you really understand?!

Do you think there is still room for improvement?"

Professor Xu wanted to test Fang Xiang's expression and know what he was thinking.

But he didn't intend to let Fang Xiang go, but continued to ask.

“I don’t know much about rifles, I just know a little bit.

But I can paint something else.”

Fang Xiang was not stupid. When he heard what Professor Xu said, he knew that something was wrong.

This classic rifle was developed at the cost of a great deal of manpower, material resources and energy.

Just change it if you say so?

That's not a genius, that's a monster.

I refused it immediately.

"Anything else? Besides pistols, what else do you know?"

After being rejected by Fang Xiang, Professor Xu did not intend to continue asking questions.

In his opinion, Fang Xiang was, after all, still a young kid who had just entered college.

It was unexpected to have such a performance.

I didn’t expect to pick up a good seedling just after the school started.

While nodding secretly in my heart, I changed the subject.

I want to see if there are any other surprises in this direction.

"I prefer working on engines."

Fang Xiang smiled and told him about his old profession.

The technical threshold for engines is high, right?

In fact, it’s just that. Even if the technology is really broken, it’s just a layer of window paper.

Many times it is limited to patents.

You say the technical threshold is low?

But there are also high requirements for materials, production and assembly.

It is not something that can be produced by just any person or factory.

But Fang Xiang was a designer, so he just dug holes and had no intention of actually rolling up his sleeves and doing the work himself.

So I will definitely choose what I am best at.

"Oh? Have you studied it?"

When it comes to engines, Professor Xu becomes even more interested.

This is also his main profession, and he is currently a big shot in the industry.

As for the firearms, it was only because it involves mechanical aspects that we asked him to come over and give some advice.

"Of course. I didn't read all those books in vain."

Fang Xiang glanced around and found some blank design drawings.

He immediately lay down on the table and started drawing.

Soon, the engine drawings of the well-known Dongfanghong tractor appeared.

It was drawn by Fang Xiang.

Of course, it is a simplified version of the drawing.

“This engine only has 54 horsepower.

The fuel consumption is high and the serviceability rate is somewhat low.

If you make some small changes in these places.

I think there will be significant improvement.”

After Fang Xiang finished drawing the blueprint.

I marked a few places on the design drawing.

For the ultimate form of this engine.

Fang Xiang naturally knew this too.

But now is not the time to take it out.

That would scare people, just show off a little bit of your skills.

"Oh? Interesting. Did you figure this out yourself?"

Professor Xu saw the places Fang Xiang mentioned.

My eyes lit up instantly.

The Dongfanghong tractor was a copy of the Soviet DT-54A.

Professor Xu has been following this project since the Soviet aid project began.

As the project manager, he is certainly aware of the problems with this engine.

Even now he has a project team.

It is responsible for the research on optimization, improvement and cylinder expansion for greater horsepower.

“Yes, I have been interested in machinery since I was a child.

You can learn a lot of things at a glance.”

Fang wanted to take this opportunity to do some preparation.

He created a genius persona for himself.

When everyone recognizes you as a genius.

If we come up with some more advanced things, there won’t be any doubts.

“I have a project here, which is to study engines.

Since you don't have a professional title and haven't graduated, it can't be considered an internship, but I can make the decision.

For now, we can give you the salary of an 18th-level intern, which is 27 yuan per month.

How about it, are you interested? "

Professor Xu understood the hidden meaning of Fang Xiang's words, but he didn't care.

The country is in urgent need of talents of all kinds, almost to the point of accepting all who come.

Immediately proposed to absorb the party to join the project team.

"Of course I'm interested. But how do I get this technical title?"

Fang Xiang was waiting for this, and he immediately nodded in agreement. He was even happier when he heard that there was a salary to be paid.

However, compared with the salary of 27 yuan, how to get a technical title is more important.

"Our school can take the exam. Coincidentally, I am one of the examiners.

Why, do you want to get a professional title?"

Professor Xu saw that Fang Xiang had indeed noticed the issue of professional title.

He nodded with satisfaction and explained with a smile.

“Of course, but I only studied theory before.

As for the hands-on ability, it’s not that good.”

Fang Xiang heard that Shuimu University could take the examination.

I was very happy at the moment, but immediately thought of my shortcomings.

"Hmm...not a big problem.

Well, I'm a little pressed for time these days.

You should prepare yourself and come over next week to see how your level is. "

Professor Xu pondered for a moment.

Fang Xiang's age is there. So, he is said to be more concerned with theory than practice.

It is also within the normal range.

Naturally, I didn't intend to delve into it. Instead, I planned to find out the truth first.

"Okay, so what do I need to prepare?"

Fang Xiang had never come into contact with the technical assessments of this era.

Naturally, I don’t know what the so-called preparations are.

"Qin Jun, this is Fang Xiang.

This year's freshman in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, you should take him to report to Cao Tianwei's research group.

Arrange a position for an intern, and I will personally train him later."

Professor Xu was not surprised and told me a few things that needed attention.

He called an assistant and implemented Fang Xiang's arrangement.

"Hello, Senior Brother Qin. It's our first meeting. Please take care of me."

Although Fang Xiang is a technical person, he still knows how to deal with people in ordinary ways.

He immediately smiled, extended his hand and expressed his goodwill.

“No problem, take care of each other, and if you need any help, you can always come to me.

Come on, I'll take you to your laboratory to show you around."

Qin Jun has been by Fang Xiang's side since he entered the door.

After making tea for Professor Xu and Fang Xiang, he watched from the side.

Seeing that Professor Xu values ​​him so much, he has already accepted him as his disciple.

Now that they have become my junior brothers, I naturally welcome them with a smile.

Took him out of Professor Xu's office.

The two chatted as they walked.

Qin Jun is 33 years old this year, already married, and also graduated from Shuimu University.

I was also a student taught by Professor Xu and started following Professor Xu since my senior year.

I am now a level 10 technician, and if I upgrade one level, I will be a level 9 engineer.

“The assessment difficulty for engineers is much higher than that for technicians.

There are also strict requirements on working experience.

I have taken the exam for two years in a row and have failed.

If you plan to take a professional qualification exam, you can come to me.

I can’t say anything else, but I’m very familiar with the level below engineer.”

Qin Jun is a very easy person to deal with.

Especially knowing that Fang Xiang is just a freshman.

His attitude immediately became more friendly.

He knew very well how difficult it was to be accepted as Professor Xu's disciple when he was only a freshman.

Because Professor Xu is famous for his high standards. Ordinary people are simply not worthy of his attention.

Therefore, this person must have either a very strong background or a very strong talent.

But no matter which one it is, he can't compare to it.

Moreover, in the current academic and scientific research circles, there is already a situation of mentor-apprentice assistance.

Professor Xu is a master in the mechanical industry. He has more than a dozen apprentices, if not 20.

These are all future connections.

Therefore, it would be wisest to establish a good relationship with this junior fellow before he takes off.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qin. I'll have to trouble you more in the future."

Fang Xiang could see the goodwill of this senior brother.

He immediately agreed.
