Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1834 Old Technician

Fortunately, although there are only four floors, there is a freight elevator. Except for the pot cover umbrella pieces that need to be lifted up from the outside of the wall with ropes, other equipment can be transported to the fourth floor by elevator.

"Buildings with cast-in-place structures are great." Zhou Zhi looked at the empty room designated as a computer room and sighed, "A room can be designed to be this big. It should be about the same size as the lecture hall below, right?"

"This is 280 square meters," Liang Guangping introduced. "In the future, this will be the information center of the entire base, with monitoring, network, communication, server, and UPS power storage."

"After accommodating all these, there will be at least 60 computer operating stations." Zhou Zhi nodded.

"Yes, there is also a computer operation center for trainees and researchers to use, which will also be here."

"Very good, but it is better to use the standard computer room design and separate each area with glass doors. After all, each area has different requirements for fire protection, waterproofing, etc., and the wiring under the floor is also different."

"The standard computer room is still under planning and construction, and it will be built as you said." Now that everyone is familiar with each other, Liu Hongtao smiled and said, "Aren't you agreeing too readily?"

Everyone laughed.

After determining the location of the computer room, the antenna cable must be installed, and a percussion drill must be used to find the location and drill holes on the roof. The satellite antenna base must be fixed with expansion steel nails and the dish cover must be installed.

Fortunately, the base’s infrastructure department has all these things in place, even the construction team is ready, and Zhou Zhi and his team only need to give orders.

Liu Liangzhen didn't understand all this, but it didn't stop her from watching them working enthusiastically.

As they were instructing the workers to work, they were chatting. Liu Liangzhen asked, "Elbow, what did you just say downstairs that you wanted to discuss with me about Aguo and the others' future?"

"That's right, grandma." Zhou Zhi said, "Now all the children in the village study at the grain station. I'm sure you know what the conditions are like at the grain station. Although there are now more reading rooms, music rooms, and more sports equipment, it's much better overall, but there is one shortcoming that we really can't overcome, and that's the teachers."

Liu Liangzhen nodded: "The teachers of your township primary school now are you and Renzhong, right?"

"In fact, ours can't even be called a village primary school, because there was no formal organization at all. At the beginning, Uncle Tu saw that the children in the village had nothing to do, so he asked Aunt Abi to gather them all in the grain station to study. At first, Uncle Tu and Aunt Abi took turns to look after them and taught them some knowledge of Chinese and mathematics."

"Later, Renzhong was sent down. He was originally a serious poverty alleviation cadre from the Second Light Industry Bureau. But he had the highest education level in the township. If he didn't go, who would?"

"Later, I came too, and it became our job."

"But as the saying goes, township work is like a thousand threads above and a needle below. How many things are there in Lianhe Township now? Uncle Tu is basically trapped by the infrastructure construction team in the township; Aunt has to take care of the pig farm, chicken farm, and school cafeteria; Grandpa Chi Ri is in charge of the entire township; Renzhong and I have to connect with the two bases, the autonomous prefecture, the province, and even the various tasks required by the national ministries and commissions. In addition, Renzhong has two non-legacy foreign exchange-earning products, Jiukou Shao and traditional lacquerware, to be directly managed. I haven't finished the project with Grandpa Chi Ri, and Grandpa Shi has given me a lot of projects to do, and threatened that I would not be given a degree if I can't finish them. I have no choice but to come to grandma to ask for external help."

Liu Liangzhen smiled and said, "Elbow, tell me first, what is your relationship with Mr. Yuan Quanyou from the Capital Academy of Painting?"

"Ah? Mr. Wang has been very kind to me, so I am at least half his disciple. Ms. Yuan is my master's wife, but I don't have much talent for painting or playing the piano, so I haven't learned any of her specialties. Why are you asking this, grandma?"

"When I returned to Beijing to report on my work, Quanyou called me and said that a junior of mine was doing a project in Lianhe Township and asked me to take care of him when I could." Liu Liangzhen laughed and said, "Is she a beggar? I was wondering how close her family was to have her call me personally, and it turned out to be you!" "Oh!" Zhou Zhi was terrified, "I feel so ashamed to have troubled her to worry about me."

"She thinks your ambition is worth pursuing, and says you've made some great achievements here. Hahaha, how great are your achievements? How could I not know that?"

"I'm really not sure about that." Zhou Zhi waved his hands repeatedly: "If Lianhe Township is really not suitable for a base, Grandma Liu wouldn't stay here. This is because the climate, soil, sunshine and other conditions in Lianhe Township are indeed suitable for the development of cherries and pomegranates! By the way, you and Mr. Yuan..."

"We were sent to the same cadre school back then, and we were friends in need. We were both bookworms, but her husband was a jack of all trades. He could always come up with something after work, and he was a great help to us."

Zhou Zhi nodded to show that he understood.

"Aguo and the others do need teachers, and you are too busy right now. We have so many students in the Agricultural Science Academy, and we can teach the children in turns. We can support them, but if we need your support in the future, you can't refuse!"

Zhou Zhi patted his chest and assured: "That's for sure. Isn't Uncle Tu working hard on the construction site now?"

Liu Liangzhen smiled and shook her head, "Just working hard is not enough. I also want a few smart people to come to our base to learn the technology."

"The cherry base is better, but here... aren't there only a few saplings?" Zhou Zhi was a little surprised: "Brother Liang told me that the pomegranate trees need to have their roots fixed and expanded. After they are fixed, we can start layering next spring."

"But the conditions in Lianhe Township are so good." Liu Liangzhen said, "The pomegranate trees are in great condition now. We recently found that the one-year-old branches have become semi-woody. I checked your weather records and found that both the temperature and humidity are very suitable."

"In addition to layering, there is another faster way to propagate pomegranates, which is cuttings. There are two ways of cuttings, one is hard branch cuttings, and the other is soft branch cuttings."

"In actual production, hardwood cuttings are mainly carried out in winter and spring in the north, while softwood cuttings are mainly carried out in summer and autumn in the south."

"But I observed the growth of pomegranate trees in Lianhe Township and found that they met the conditions for both hardwood cuttings and softwood cuttings."

"So I plan to take advantage of the opportunity to prune the fruit trees in autumn to control their height, and use the cut branches to experiment and try cutting propagation."

"If it succeeds, it will be a breakthrough, proving that pomegranate cuttings can be grown in all seasons in areas with suitable climates."

"I'll sign up, count me in as one!" Zhou Zhi patted his chest again: "And Grandpa Chi Ri, sign up for him as well!"

"You can." Liu Liangzhen hesitated and said, "But Chi Ri? Isn't he a little old?"

"I am dispensable." Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "But Grandpa Chi Ri must be called. If he learns this technology, the fruit tree promotion work in Lianhe Township will be more effective. As a technician, his words are more effective than our words!"
