Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

After dinner, Sun Zhengguo and Zhao Guoping returned to the office and chatted for a long time, but the specific content is unknown.

But from Zhao Guoping's expression when he left, it was not difficult to tell that the two must have had a very pleasant chat.

It was not until the next day when Zhao Guoping led all the staff of the First Technical Section of the Metallurgical Ministry to move in that everyone understood what was going on.

It turned out that Sun Zhengguo had accepted the commission from the Ministry of Metallurgy and took over the development of the new rolling mill.

While Zhao Guoping and his team came to study, they were also responsible for measuring, drawing, analyzing data, and taking samples in the factory.

At the same time, the Ministry of Metallurgy also issued a notice asking all its branches to fully cooperate with this research and development work.

As time went by, more and more data were gathered at the research institute, and Sun Zhengguo already had the idea of ​​a new type of steel rolling mill in his mind.

This time he did not plan to modify the machine again, because the existing rolling mill had been modified by him a few years ago and it could be said that there was nothing left to modify.

So, this time he planned to develop a six-roll rolling mill to replace the previous four-roll and double-roll rolling mills.

"Director, it's only been ten days and you've already entered the mapping stage. I wonder what's in your brain? How come you're so amazing?"

In the office, Zhao Guoping, who was helping out, didn't know whether he was praising someone or insulting someone. Anyway, this sounded very awkward.

When Sun Zhengguo heard this, he didn't react, because he knew that Zhao Guoping didn't mean that.

"Guoping, believe it or not, I had this idea in my mind when I first joined the Ministry of Metallurgy, but you know what happened later. Otherwise, I might not have been able to develop an eight-roller steel rolling mill."

Of course Zhao Guoping believed what Sun Zhengguo said, otherwise Deputy Minister Bai would not have regretted it so much.

"Director, there is an eight-roller steel rolling mill? I have never heard of it."

“Hahaha!” Sun Zhengguo laughed. “There are so many things you haven’t heard of! There are also ten-roller rolling mills, continuous casting and rolling mills, and intelligent rolling mills…”

After listening to Sun Zhengguo's words, Zhao Guoping fell silent. It seems that there is still a long way to go!

At this moment, Zhou Weimin suddenly rushed in from outside the door, holding a newspaper in his hand and waving it vigorously.

"Director, good news, good news, very good news!"

Seeing Zhou Weimin's happy expression, Sun Zhengguo stopped working and asked curiously.

"Wei Min, what good news is it that makes you so happy?"

"Director, please read it yourself." Zhou Weimin handed over the newspaper.

Sun Zhengguo looked at Zhou Weimin in confusion, then took the newspaper.

For a moment, the bold black words on the newspaper made Sun Zhengguo a little confused.

What's happening here?

The front-page headline of the newspaper clearly stated that the first atomic bomb independently developed by China was successfully detonated in Lop Nur yesterday.

"This... this...?" Sun Zhengguo couldn't bear to watch any longer and stood up in shock. "You guys go out first. I want to be alone."

When Zhou Weimin saw this situation, he thought that Sun Zhengguo was too excited, just like himself just now.

He didn't take it seriously and pulled Zhao Guoping, who was also confused, out of the office together.

After they left, Sun Zhengguo picked up the newspaper again and read it from beginning to end without missing a word.

"Strange, if I remember correctly, the explosion was successful about half a year earlier. Could it be because of me?"

Sun Zhengguo couldn't figure it out and locked himself in the office for a long time.

Finally he came to a conclusion that it might really be related to him.

You know, in the parallel universe, there are not so many machine tools with excellent performance.

Although he didn't know how big a role he played, there must be a connection.

After figuring this out, Sun Zhengguo was very happy. Now not only did the country have a national treasure, but it also had a powerful weapon.

And there is another good news, that is, Dad is coming back soon, and then the family will be reunited, which makes me happy just thinking about it.

“Ding ding ding…!”

Just then, the phone on the table rang. Sun Zhengguo picked up the receiver and introduced himself.

"Hello, this is the Mechanical Research Institute, I'm Sun Zhengguo."

"Hello, Director Sun, this is Secretary Wang. I'm calling to inform you that in order to celebrate the success of the explosion, the organization has decided to give you three days off so that everyone can enjoy the fun."

"Okay! Secretary Wang, I'll arrange it right away. If everyone knew this good news, they would be very happy."

After the call, Sun Zhengguo called Zhou Weimin again.

"Wei Min, please inform them later that in order to celebrate this great victory, the organization has decided to give the workers three days off."

"Really? I'll go now." Zhou Weimin said, and prepared to run out.

"Wait! Why are you so anxious?" Seeing Zhou Weimin's anxious look, Sun Zhengguo couldn't help but laugh and quickly stopped him.

"Also, notify the Propaganda Department and have them turn on the radio and shout slogans. They must also put up banners. We must treat this matter as a top priority."

"Okay! Chief, is there anything else?" Zhou Weimin learned his lesson this time and did not run away rashly again.

"That's all for now. I'll tell you when I think of something." Sun Zhengguo waved his hand, indicating that you could leave.

Not long after Zhou Weimin left, Sun Zhengguo heard the noisy sounds outside.

I guess the workers got the news and are celebrating downstairs!

As a good leader, Sun Zhengguo could not be separated from the masses, so he also went downstairs and joined the workers' carnival.

Soon, the radio started broadcasting the news of this great victory, and slogans followed and were posted everywhere.

Not only that, Chief Cai of the Propaganda Department also had the ingenuity to take out the spare red flags from the warehouse.

Although it was not possible to guarantee that everyone would have a small red flag, it added a lot of festive atmosphere to the event.

Seeing red flags flying everywhere, the workers felt that it was not enough, so someone suggested that everyone take to the streets to celebrate.

Sun Zhengguo dared not refuse such a request.

So, under his leadership and organization, workers took to the streets, waving red flags and shouting loud slogans.

"Long live the Communist Party of China!"

"Long live the great leader Chairman Mao!"

"..."

As slogans rang out, Director Li of the machinery factory next door was also not to be outdone and also organized a group of workers to take to the streets to celebrate.

With so many workers pouring into the streets at once, you can imagine how congested the roads would be.

But no matter how congested the traffic was, no one complained, and some people even took the initiative to join the team to celebrate this great moment of victory.

In this way, the parade and celebration lasted for a long time, and the workers even forgot to eat lunch. In the end, it was Sun Zhengguo who stepped in to persuade the fanatical workers to go back.

After returning to the institute, Sun Zhengguo announced the official holiday only after the cafeteria had served everyone their meals.
