Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

At noon that day, since the ministry leaders' inspection would take a long time, Sun Zhengguo invited Minister Li and his party to stay for lunch.

Minister Li felt hard to refuse the invitation, so he stayed for dinner. Sun Zhengguo did not make any special preparations, but asked He Yushui to cook a few dishes.

After lunch, Minister Li and his team left the institute and returned to the Ministry of Machinery.

The first thing Minister Li did after returning was to dial the internal phone and find General Lai to report the matter.

"Hello, Mr. Lai, I'm Li Dongsheng, and I'd like to report to you about the large machine tools."

"Oh! It's Minister Li. Is there any new progress from Comrade Zhengguo?"

"Yes, Mr. Lai, this time we have not only made progress, but also achieved breakthrough progress."

Then Minister Li told Mr. Lai on the phone what he had seen and heard in the morning, as well as Sun Zhengguo's evaluation of the machine tool.

"Hahaha!"

After listening to the report, Mr. Lai was completely unable to suppress his inner joy. He burst into a hearty laugh and then quickly gave instructions.

"Minister Li, let me take some time to go there tomorrow. There shouldn't be any ceremony, and it's not allowed to be publicized."

"Okay, come on, Boss."

Minister Li hung up the phone, still a little confused. Why did Mr. Lai come secretly?

In fact, he didn't know that Mr. Lai did this to protect Sun Zhengguo.

Because over the past year or so, the country has changed from a major importer of machine tools to a country that produces and sells its own machines.

This also led to some countries, led by island countries, being unable to make money, so they prepared some unconventional tactics.

According to secret reports from relevant departments, a group of criminals have sneaked into the city of Sijiu, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Therefore, the purpose of Mr. Lai doing this is to reduce Sun Zhengguo's exposure.

At this time, Sun Zhengguo didn't know that a group of outlaws had already targeted him.

Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care. Since you want to die, then come on!

The next morning, when Sun Zhengguo was still leisurely in the office, Chen Lianshan suddenly broke into the office.

"Director, hurry up, the chief is here, he's in the experimental workshop!"

When Sun Zhengguo heard what Chen Lianshan said, he jumped up from his chair instantly.

"What? The General Manager has arrived, why didn't you even notify me in advance?"

"Director, I don't know either. This is a surprise attack." Chen Lianshan said with an embarrassed look on his face.

To be honest, he was completely frightened when Mr. Lai suddenly appeared just now.

"Come on!"

Sun Zhengguo no longer had time to ask any more questions and immediately ran to the workshop. Chen Lianshan followed closely behind him.

In just over a minute, the two of them ran to the door of the workshop.

Several guards in the workshop saw the two men running towards them and raised their guns to stop them, but were interrupted by Ning Dazhuang.

"No need to stop them, they are the ones we have to wait for."

At this moment, Sun Zhengguo had already run into the workshop. When he saw Ning Dazhuang, he just nodded and ran in again.

At this time, General Lai was looking at the large machine tool. Standing next to him were Political Commissar Yang and Minister Li, as well as two middle-aged soldiers.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lai. I didn't know you were coming to inspect. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Looking at the breathless Sun Zhengguo, Mr. Lai still had a smile on his face, and that feeling made people feel like spring breeze.

"Comrade Zhengguo! I am the one who should apologize. In order not to disturb your normal work, I did not inform you. I am really sorry."

"Boss, I..."

To be honest, Sun Zhengguo had met Mr. Lai before, but every time he did, he always moved people and left a deep impression on them.

"Well, we are old acquaintances, so don't be embarrassed."

Come, let me introduce you to this, Political Commissar Yang and Minister Li, you are old acquaintances, so there is no need for me to introduce them. The two here are Director Ma and Director Wang. "

After listening to Mr. Lai’s introduction, Sun Zhengguo walked forward, shook hands with several people, and then said hello.

Sun Zhengguo saw that they were wearing military uniforms but were addressed as factory directors, so he had some guesses in his mind, but he was not stupid enough to ask.

After the two parties got to know each other, Director Ma couldn't wait to ask.

"Comrade Zhengguo! We have already read the report on this machine tool. I don't know if these data are accurate."

"Master Ma, the data in the report is only low, not high. If we wait until the workers are skilled, it should be even higher. If you don't believe me, why don't you try it now?"

As the director of a certain arsenal, Director Ma is under a lot of pressure now.

Due to the deteriorating relationship between the country and Big Brother, many aircraft parts cannot be produced by the country itself.

In the long run, many of the country's aircraft have been grounded. Just yesterday, he received a call from General Lai, so he came to the Institute of Mechanical Engineering with the last glimmer of hope.

Now when he heard what Sun Zhengguo said, a glimmer of hope was instantly ignited in him.

But no matter what it is, only seeing it with one's own eyes can be convincing, so he could only say with an apologetic look: "Comrade Zhengguo! Although I also believe that you will not lie, I still have to test it in the end."

When Director Ma said this, he did not mean to look down on Sun Zhengguo. After all, who would dare to look down on someone who could develop precision machine tools?

"Okay! Director Ma, do you want to set the questions or do you want me to set the questions?" Sun Zhengguo did not hesitate and directly threw out the multiple-choice questions.

"Let me do it!"

After Director Ma finished speaking, he took out a parts drawing from his briefcase and handed it to Sun Zhengguo.

Sun Zhengguo took the drawing, took a quick look at it, then called Master Geng and arranged for someone to prepare the materials.

It didn't take long for the materials to be delivered, and Master Geng had already mastered the drawings, so it was time for him to perform.

So, several masters took their places, and Master Geng was responsible for the main operations.

"Turn it on."

Following Master Geng's order, the machine began to make a buzzing sound.

After the machine was fully started, several people worked together to use a crane to move the materials onto the workbench and secure them.

Next, Master Geng began to operate the machine in an orderly manner according to the requirements of the drawings, performing various cutting, drilling, boring and grinding operations with ease.

Such smooth operation made Director Ma and Director Wang on the side drop their jaws in amazement.

Processing such large parts is so simple that even the most advanced large-scale machine tools in foreign countries cannot do it.

Because the processing takes a long time, Sun Zhengguo was not idle either, introducing the performance and uses of this machine tool to Mr. Lai.

After introducing the machine tool, Sun Zhengguo saw that it was still early, so he simply told Mr. Lai about the plans for the next step of work.

The two chatted and laughed like old friends, and continued chatting until the machine tool stopped, then they looked back at the scene.

At this time, Master Geng had come over to report the situation.

"Boss Lai, leaders, I have completed the task. The parts are in full compliance with regulations and are perfect. It took me 1 hour and 21 minutes."

As a veteran, Master Geng has seen a lot of big scenes, so his report was vivid and colorful.

After listening to this, Director Ma and Director Wang ran to the front and measured several key parts.

After the measurement, Director Ma said excitedly.

"Boss Lai, can you let us use this machine? As long as we have it, we will be able to produce parts for not only a grounded aircraft, but also a new aircraft."

"Lao Ma, please wait for your plane. Our country's maritime power is weak now. Why don't you give it to us first? Those ships really need it." Director Wang also started to argue at this time.

"No, Lao Wang, what's wrong with you? You didn't say anything just now, but now you grab it when you see me want it. There's a first come first served rule for everything, okay?"

Director Ma was no pushover and began to argue his case.
