Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1662 What if it succeeds?
Time passed quietly at the tip of Sasha's pen in the office.

Lou Xiao'e dealt with the documents that had accumulated on hand, looked up at the time on the clock, and it was almost time for dinner.

The office was quiet, with only the occasional sound of pencils rubbing against each other.

Lou Xiao'e looked towards the source of the sound.

The soft winter sunlight shines through the window onto the young man, reflecting his well-proportioned figure.

A tough face, an expression of serious thinking, his eyes constantly moving with the tip of the pen, and his hands moving so gently.

The way he worked attracted her attention like a magnet. She wanted to see him but was afraid of being discovered.

His eyes flickered, at a loss.

During the Chinese New Year, neighbors and some relatives all talked about getting married.

Even my mother was nagging in my ear, making her upset when she talked about it.

These days, the country encourages marriages, and even widows will be arranged to marry.

What's more, she is a divorced person.

Of course, this is just encouragement.

As long as she insists on not wanting to do it, her family can't do anything.

She understood what her mother said, but deep down, she had no feelings for ordinary men.

Besides, she is not alone, Xiaoxue is with her.

Even when you are old, you still have godsons.

"Perhaps, it's good to be able to be quiet like this now!"

Feeling a little satisfied, he looked at the documents on the table, then looked at Yang Xiaotao, and prepared to get up and let Yang Xiaotao go to eat.

However, just as she stood up, she saw the office door was pushed open.

Then Liu Huaimin took the lead, followed by Yang Youning, and Chen Gong and Wang Guodong came in one after another.

The group of people came as if they were going to attack a wealthy man, and went straight to Yang Xiaotao's desk.

"I said, what's going on..."

When Yang Xiaotao heard the noise and raised his head, he saw Liu Huaimin's wide-eyed face.

However, before he could finish his words, Liu Huaimin's eyes were fixed on the drawings on his desk.

Then he exclaimed, "Is what Huang Degong said true?"

"Do you really want to study engines? No, aircraft engines?"

"Is it true?"

As Liu Huaimin was speaking, several people behind him gathered around the table, as if they were blocking the door and starting a fight.

Lou Xiao'e stood up and watched nervously, her fists clenched, not understanding the situation.

"I said, let's do this."

"It's just an engine. We don't make many diesel engines. Why make such a fuss?"

Yang Xiaotao understood that they heard the news from Huang Degong, but he spoke calmly.

"You, what do you know!"

Yang Youning's face suddenly wrinkled and his voice was trembling.

"This is an airplane engine. Do you think it's the same as a tractor?"

"The Third Ministry of Machine Building and the Logistics Department have so many people who can't do anything. Now they still can't figure it out in the workshop. So much investment has gone down the drain."

"You, you...what can I say!"

Yang Youning looked surprised and happy, but the surprise was greater than the joy. The words he said represented what he really meant, which was doubt.

"Xiao Tao, you are so, so bold..."

"Huang Degong and the others don't know, and you don't know how difficult this is."

“That’s something that one or two factories can produce?”

"We have so many factories in our country participating, and we have the help of the alliance, but what about now? It hasn't been done yet."

"To put it bluntly, even if we include our entire machinery factory, it's still not even a fraction of the size of their research factory!"

Chen Gong was also there, trying to persuade him earnestly.

It was Wang Guodong. Although he didn't say anything, there was a strong sense of suspicion on his face.

Liu Huaimin moved away from the drawings on the table and looked at Yang Xiaotao.

"It's not that I don't allow you to study, but right now, we still have a lot of things to do!"

“Like research and upgrading of machine tools, when Morningstar becomes the norm and Morningstar expands its production scale, we will need better machine tools.”

"Research in this area is also the focus of the chief minister."

As Liu Huaimin spoke, Yang Youning and the others nodded.

Their current positioning of the machinery factory is very clear, which is to use the advantages of the machinery factory to drive the development of the whole country.

Strengthen the foundation of domestic industrial construction.

Especially machine tools, machinery factories will be the mother nest of machine tools in the future.

This status is absolutely second to none and among the best in the country.

But now, everyone is ready to work hard, but Yang Xiaotao turned the steering wheel and prepared to get another stove.

Really, I almost sprained my waist.

After listening to what they said, Yang Xiaotao immediately understood that they were afraid of wasting his energy and time, and delaying his superiors' tasks.

So he smiled and stood up, "Sit down, sit down, let's sit down and talk."

After hearing this, Liu Huaimin, Yang Youning and others also felt that it was inappropriate to stand in the front, so they sat aside.

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e hurriedly took out cups from the cabinet and poured water for the few people.

“I think this can still be done!”

Yang Xiaotao and the others calmed down and spoke.

He had reasons why he had to do it.

There is no shop like this after passing this village!
If you don't do it now, you will never have another chance.

Of course, he couldn't say this, he could only say the first two.

He walked over, took out a cigarette and passed it around, then sat aside and took two puffs, "Listen to me, I'm bringing this up now because I'm considering our status, we can't just rely on our past achievements..."

Yang Xiaotao stated the two previous reasons, and Yang Youning and the others looked at each other, but still did not give up the idea of ​​persuading him.

Yang Xiaotao continued to speak.

"Moreover, we now want to improve the accuracy of machine tools and make better machine tools, which requires not only better materials but also more level eight workers."

"Especially the latter, which is directly related to success or failure."

This left Yang Youning and the others speechless.

After all, in the field of machine tool research, the four of them combined cannot compare to Yang Xiaotao.

You can only listen to Yang Xiaotao on this matter.

“But how can the workers’ skills be improved?”

"I have worked my way up from the grassroots level. I know that if a worker wants to improve his skills, he needs not only talent but also perseverance and hard work."

"If you don't practice for a day, you'll lose your skills. Over time, you'll lose them." "Now I have to go to the workshop from time to time to find something to warm up my hands, otherwise my skills will decline."

"So you want to use this to sharpen them?"

Liu Huaimin understood what Yang Xiaotao meant.

"Yes, not only one workshop, but also several other workshops need to be urged."

"But there's no need to use this engine as a whetstone."

Chen Gong was still a little worried.

"Yes, this blueprint design is very difficult!"

Yang Youning finished smoking one cigarette, then took out another from the cigarette box on the table and lit it with the cigarette butt. "I heard that the Logistics Department is designing the blueprint in Shengjing, and it hasn't been finalized yet."

"They also said that we need to design and make it at the same time, and then improve it while experimenting. It consumes a lot of manpower, material resources and time!"

"Xiao Tao, let me see you, why don't you let it go for now?"

"If all else fails, there's still a tank project!"

"I think this one is better. Workshop 3 happens to produce armored vehicles, so we can produce this one as well."

Yang Youning tried to persuade Yang Xiaotao again, trying to make him give up the idea of ​​making aircraft engines.

But Yang Xiaotao still shook his head after hearing this and said, "I think it's better to work on aircraft engines."

"Besides, I have the confidence to make it, great!"

After Yang Xiaotao said this, he said no more, but everyone could see the determination on his face.

"Since Xiao Tao thinks it's okay, I think we should give it a try."

Wang Guodong, who had been silent, spoke at this time, which made Liu Huaimin, Yang Youning and the others roll their eyes.

"Old Wang, you betrayed me at the critical moment. I should have known not to bring you here."

Chen Gong spoke silently at the side.

Wang Guodong was not annoyed after hearing this, but grinned.

"Anyway, I think that every time Xiao Tao did something, it was always unexpected."

“But it works every time!”

"I came here to see if he's serious about it. Now that he's determined to do it, why should I object?"

"Maybe after a while, we can really figure it out."

Wang Guodong spoke in a casual tone, while Liu Huaimin and the other two listened thoughtfully.

Yang Xiaotao even gave a thumbs up, "Uncle Wang, you are really open-minded."

"Haha, I've seen a lot along the way, and I've practiced it!"

Wang Guodong smiled. Although he usually stayed in the workshop, his position was the same.

But it was because of this that he could see clearly.

The development of the machinery factory to where it is today is all thanks to Yang Xiaotao.

Instead, Yang Xiaotao adapted to the development of the machinery factory.

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning looked at each other, and then Yang Youning nodded.

"What Lao Wang said makes some sense!"

"I think this way, we should do this research first, but we can't neglect other things."

"What do you think?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "That's no problem for me!"

After getting Yang Xiaotao's affirmation, Liu Huaimin and the other two did not stay any longer and left the office one after another.

"Tell me if you have any difficulties!"

Wang Guodong walked at the end and patted Yang Xiaotao on the shoulder to encourage him.

"Just wait for the good news!"

Wang Guodong smiled and nodded, then left.

"Boss Yang, you really want to make airplane engines!"

After Lou Xiao'e and the others left, he carefully stepped forward and asked.

Yang Xiaotao returned to the table, put away several blueprints, and nodded, "Isn't this in progress?"

“A plane!”

Lou Xiao'e screamed and suddenly fell into some memories.

"It's time to eat, stop standing there!"

Yang Xiaotao packed up and prepared to eat, but saw Lou Xiaoe still standing there in a daze, so he called out to her.

"Oh, yes, right away."

When he arrived at the cafeteria, Yang Xiaotao lined up holding an enamel pot.

Without waiting for the food to be served, Liu Daming came over with a group of people and stood behind Yang Xiaotao.

The workers who were originally at the back did not dare to say anything when they saw this group of people cutting in line, but instead stepped forward to inquire about the news.

"Boss Yang, you said you want to make aircraft engines? Is this true?"

Liu Daming asked excitedly.

In the short two or three years that he followed Yang Xiaotao, he experienced more than in most of his entire life.

From pressure cookers to rice cookers, from steam engines to single-cylinder diesel engines, but now machine tools and rolling mills.

This experience is like sesame seeds blooming, each level is higher than the last.

"Yes, I'm working on the design."

After hearing this, Liu Daming immediately smiled at Hou Baowei and others behind him.

Pang Guo, who was standing next to him, was a little worried. "Boss Yang, I heard that this thing is not easy to make."

"Other brother departments have been doing this all the time!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I know, but so what?"

"It's not like they're the only ones who can do it. Our machinery factory can do it, too!"

"Besides, what if we make it?"

Liu Daming immediately nodded in agreement, "That's a good point. Why can they do it but we can't?"

"If we make this, we'll see if those guys still have the nerve to show off in front of us."

"Okay, this is not conducive to unity! Stop saying it in the future."

Yang Xiaotao tried to stop them, but they didn't take it seriously and continued discussing like little kids.

Soon, the news about the future tasks of the first workshop spread rapidly in the factory, and then spread to several units of the First and Third Ministries of Machine Building.

Upon learning that the machinery factory was going to produce aircraft engines, Mr. Huang and Mr. Xia were silent for a moment, and then felt a little lost.

It is said that the two of them made an appointment to go to my house after get off work and drank for half the night.

However, after hearing about this, Mr. Zhang from the Third Ministry of Machine Building specially called Mr. Qin from the Logistics Department. After the two of them finished talking, they both looked calm and relaxed.

But the department that was researching the engine received the first stressful gift package of the new year!
