Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Wu Quan also noticed something strange about Zhou Tian today, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

At this moment, Chang Wen and the other two also walked out of the room.

"Chang Wen, Xiao Yang, Xiao Liu, come and eat. This is the breakfast that Brother Wu brought for us!"

Seeing the three people, Zhou Tian waved and greeted them.

After hearing what their leader said, Chang Wen and the other two walked over silently and sat down to eat together.

After dinner, the four of them followed Wu Quan out of the expert building, and under the watchful eyes of a dozen senior experts, they got on a jeep and headed towards the fertilizer factory.

The Liaodong Fertilizer Plant is not far from the expert building, only about two or three miles away. In less than ten minutes, the five people got off the car, and Zhou Tian, ​​led by Wu Quan, arrived at the fertilizer plant.

The entire fertilizer plant covers an area of ​​approximately more than 250 acres, and the production equipment workshop alone covers an area of ​​about 200 acres. Since it is almost time to go to work, workers from the entire fertilizer plant have arrived one after another. At a glance, the number of workers alone is no smaller than that of any branch of their research institute.

"Xiaotian, this is the Liaodong Fertilizer Plant, which is also one of the projects assisted by Big Brother. How is it? Is it okay?"

After taking Zhou Tian to visit several workshops, Wu Quan asked with a proud look on his face.

After all, it is a large factory with nearly 20,000 to 30,000 employees. Even in the entire Liaodong Province, the Liaodong Fertilizer Plant is among the top in scale. As the director of such a fertilizer plant, how could Wu Quan not be proud?

"That's great, but Brother Wu, I'm sure you've been notified. I'm afraid I'll have to stay at the Labor Fertilizer Factory for a while, so I may have to trouble you!"

Facing Wu Quan's pride, Zhou Tian just smiled. Although the scale of Liaodong Fertilizer Plant was indeed good, it was only good. In terms of scale, any of his branches would not be weaker than his.

"Of course, this is definitely no problem, but Xiaotian, I wonder if I can make a request!"

As he spoke, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Wu Quan's face, and he seemed very embarrassed under Zhou Tian's gaze.

"Here I am. I knew that Wu Quan must have his own purpose for being so attentive. Now it's about to be exposed!"

Although he was thinking about it, Zhou Tian did not refuse. However, he still pretended to hesitate for a moment before asking, "Brother Wu, why don't you tell me what you want?"

After all, if it is a simple request, he will agree to it, but if it is a difficult request, he will refuse it if he should.

Wu Quan could naturally see the hesitation on Zhou Tian's face, but he gritted his teeth and still stated his request.

"That's right, Xiaotian, can you bring a few technicians from the factory with you while you're doing research?"

"That's it?"

Zhou Tian was stunned by Wu Quan's request. At first, seeing Wu Quan was so serious, he thought it was something big, but he didn't expect that he just wanted him to bring a few technicians.

"Yeah, that's it!"

Wu Quan sighed and told the whole story without fear of embarrassment. It turned out that when he first received the order from above to set up a fertilizer plant, he was very happy at first.

After all, he was not an ignorant person and naturally knew what fertilizer was.

Although my country's grain production can reach hundreds of millions of tons a year, which seems to be an astronomical figure, you have to know that my country has a large population.

In actual terms, each person's food ration is only about ten to twenty kilograms. Of course, the reason why it is so small is partly because the country is vigorously developing industry and the number of people farming is decreasing every year.

On the other hand, there is the issue of good varieties and soil fertility.

Now a large part of the country's grain comes from the Central Plains, but the maximum grain yield per mu in the Central Plains is only a few hundred kilograms, and this is only possible with God's blessing and favorable weather.

If there is any slight change, then food security will become a problem for the whole country.

If we want to increase grain production, in addition to improving grain varieties, the only thing left is to increase the fertility of the soil. Fertilizer is undoubtedly such an industrial product, although it also has its shortcomings in this regard.

Just like destroying the structure of the soil, excessive use of chemical fertilizers will lead to a decrease in the fertility of the soil in the fields, pollute groundwater, and reduce the quality of the crops grown, among other disadvantages.

But at present, chemical fertilizers are undoubtedly an important fertilizer for increasing grain production.

With the advent of fertilizers, domestic grain production has grown on a large scale. Although this will cause some pain, the top priority is still to ensure that everyone has enough food to eat.

Unfortunately, after he took office, he realized that things were not that simple. Not to mention that many of the equipment supported by Big Brother were second-hand, even the experts sent by Big Brother were superficial in their teaching of the workers.

Even though he tried every possible method, it was of no avail.

As a result, in the two years since the fertilizer plant was established, many workers can only follow the steps and need the experts from Big Brother to repair any problems with the equipment.

Especially this year, as many experts from Big Brother evacuated, he was so anxious that he almost got angry. At this time, he received a notice from his superiors and learned that Director Zhou of the Red Star Mechanical Research Institute in Sijiu City was coming to the fertilizer plant for investigation, although he didn't know where Zhou Tian came from.

However, when he accidentally mentioned Zhou Tian to an old comrade who was still in the army, the old comrade told him that as long as he could entertain Zhou Tian well, he would not have to worry about the equipment and technology.

After the old comrade finished speaking, seemingly seeing that he did not believe it, he told him in detail some of Zhou Tian’s research results. Although there were only a few items, they gave him a great shock.

He had never imagined that a person could be so smart, which was why Wu Quan was so enthusiastic about Zhou Tian.

After listening to Wu Quan's narration, although Zhou Tian was very angry about the perfunctory attitude of the experts sent by Big Brother, he was not surprised. After all, when our country accepted assistance from Big Brother, he had already anticipated this consequence through his memories of his previous life.

But I still didn't expect that Big Brother's experts would be so excessive.

"Alas, it's because our country's industry is inferior to others!"

Zhou Tian sighed in his heart, nodded and agreed.

"Okay, Brother Wu, I agree to your request. As long as there are no more than ten people at a time, I can do it!"

"Great!"

When Wu Quan saw that Zhou Tian really agreed, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "Okay, then Xiaotian, if that's the case, then I'll go find someone right away, but in case some places are not allowed to enter, I'll let Xiao Hu accompany you!"

As he spoke, Wu Quan turned to look at his secretary Xiao Hu, gave him a few words of instruction, then hurried away and walked towards the technical department.

Accompanied by Xiao Hu, Zhou Tian then took the opportunity to visit the series of processes of synthetic ammonia equipment from raw materials to production.

Halfway through the tour, Wu Quan came over with ten young technicians, handed the task over to Zhou Tian, ​​and left in a hurry. After all, it was such a large fertilizer factory, and he had a lot of things to do every day, so it was naturally impossible for him to stay with Zhou Tian all the time.

What's more, he didn't know Zhou Tian's specific level and its importance to the country.

After seeing Wu Quan off, Zhou Tian visited all the equipment in the fertilizer factory before he had a rough idea of ​​how fertilizer is made.
