Chapter 1699 The Research Institute’s Method

After Yang Xiaotao left Yangjiazhuang and returned to the machinery factory, he went to the office.

Right now, Yang Xiaotao's focus is on engine research and development. Other matters are either handed over to Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning to handle. If he really needs to handle them himself, he will let Lou Xiaoe sort them out and then deal with them as soon as possible.

Sitting at his desk, Yang Xiaotao began to process the documents sorted out by Lou Xiaoe.

The production of air conditioners in Shanghai has already started, and it remains to be seen whether the staff of the machinery factory will be withdrawn.

The administration coordinated the tickets and returned on time.

Changan Machinery Factory needs production technology for four-cylinder diesel engines. The superiors have approved it and need to send someone to provide guidance.

The workshop director selected capable personnel to go to Chang'an.

The Third Ministry of Machine Building temporarily added three Red Star steel rolling mills, which required urgent funding.

Consent
As he finished reading each document and wrote down his opinions, the documents in front of Yang Xiaotao quickly disappeared.

At ten o'clock in the morning, all the trivial matters had been dealt with, and Yang Xiaotao finally found time to ask about the work of the R&D department.

"Boss Yang, I heard that things are not going well with the R&D department."

Lou Xiao'e sat aside and talked about the news she heard.

In fact, as Yang Xiaotao's secretary, there are some things she needs to know in advance so that she can do her job better, so some things are not secrets to her.

Moreover, over the years, Lou Xiao'e has helped Yang Xiaotao handle many things, and even some documents given to Yang Xiaotao have to go through Lou Xiao'e's hands.

Fortunately, Lou Xiao'e is now "alone" and a good person, so there are no other voices in the machinery factory.

Otherwise, look at Yang Youning’s secretary Xiaoqiang, who spends most of his time doing miscellaneous work and rarely participates in work arrangements.

Even Liu Huaimin's secretary was not allowed to see the review of documents.

This shows the status of Lou Xiao'e in Yang Xiaotao's eyes.

Of course, this was also achieved by Lou Xiaoe through her abilities.

If Yang Xiaotao really had to organize the documents himself, he wouldn't even have enough time to read books or even design drawings.

“It’s normal to have problems!”

"Just solve it!"

Yang Xiaotao replied.

When Yang Xiaotao first studied the drawings, he already had a preliminary understanding in his mind.

After all, this is an engine that the alliance has not yet researched. It is something that will take the next 20 to 30 years, so they have to concentrate their efforts on it.

Of course, most of the energy is spent on design, but we have to mention the difficulties in manufacturing.

But for the domestic situation, the lack of infrastructure, resources and materials, talent, etc. will magnify the difficulty several times.

In the past, given the characteristics of domestic researchers and factory workers, when faced with a design task that could not be completed, they would make changes without authorization.

The Type 63 rifle was almost ruined because of this.

Yang Xiaotao would never allow such a thing to happen.

The production must be strictly in accordance with the requirements of the design drawings.

Even if it's slow, it can't be changed.

As for difficulties, aren’t they there to solve them?

What’s more, we say every day that if conditions exist, we should move forward; if conditions don’t exist, we should create them.

Isn't it used for times like this?

Therefore, Yang Xiaotao chose to undertake this task in the machinery factory which he had absolute control over.

"Well, I heard that they sent people to the steel mill to try to find the right materials."

Yang Xiaotao nodded after hearing this, thinking that this idea was correct.

Although the domestic infrastructure is not as good as that of the alliance, the gap is not too big.

Moreover, although the requirements given by Yang Xiaotao were harsh, they were not completely unsolvable.

"By the way, where is Director Guan now?"

Yang Xiaotao has been back for three days, but I have been so busy that I haven't visited him yet.

"Director Guan was discharged from the hospital the day before yesterday. The burns on his feet were more serious, but the burns on other parts of his body were not as severe. However, the doctor said that Director Guan's body recovered quite quickly, and the burns on his feet healed better than ordinary people. He is probably recuperating at home now."

Yang Xiaotao recalled the original scene and realized that he was able to recover so quickly, most likely because Xiaowei replenished his energy.

This time when he went to Shicheng, Yang Xiaotao also relied on Xiaowei to save people.

It can be said that Xiao Wei is half a miracle doctor.

"Please prepare some fruits and food for me, and accompany me to his house in the afternoon."

After saying that, Yang Xiaotao walked out, "I'm going to the steel plant first!"

Yang Xiaotao thought about it and decided to go and take a look himself. After all, he had just started to see the situation, so he had to encourage them and give them some chicken soup or something.

"No, it's time to eat!"

“Just go to the steel plant and eat!”

Yang Xiaotao stood up and prepared to leave, but Lou Xiaoe was obviously unhappy.

Yang Xiaotao noticed it when he reached the door, so he stopped and asked, "What's going on? Is there anything else?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded vigorously after hearing this, "A little bit!"

"Then tell me quickly!"

Yang Xiaotao urged, and Lou Xiaoe didn't hesitate, "Well, Xiaoxue wants to learn the song about the sun always coming out after the rain from you at noon!"

"Learn with me?"

"Ok!"

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said nothing.

Yang Xiaotao understood what it meant instantly.

Because of the earthquake, this song was widely circulated in the disaster area. But also because of the earthquake, and because the people who produced and sang this song were all in the earthquake area, it was able to arouse the empathy of the people in the disaster area. It is of great significance.

Therefore, the superiors attached great importance to this and made this song the theme song for disaster relief.

In this situation, the song naturally cannot be sung casually. It’s okay for everyone to sing it in private, but if you want to sing this song in an important occasion, if you don’t sing it well, then you can expect to be criticized!
It was for this reason that Xu Mingying stayed in Shicheng last time. After all, it was the original singer, and no matter how he sang, it would have the same flavor. Now, most areas listen to it through the radio.

Of course, there are exceptions, and that is the creator of the song.

That is Yang Xiaotao.

As long as he raps well and has his endorsement, no one would dare to say anything else.

Yang Xiaotao doesn't care much about this. Songs are meant to be sung. If they are put on the shelf, their value will be buried.

"Why should I learn from you? I'm not a singer!"

Yang Xiaotao said this unhappily, and Lou Xiaoe pouted when she heard it.

You are not a singer, but you can sing like no other.

Don’t you have any points?

She had promised Xiaoxue that she would definitely get this done.

But Yang Xiaotao's next sentence made her pouting lips immediately retract and turn into a beautiful arc.

"Just learn by yourself from the radio, don't bother me with this kind of thing!"

After that, the person walked out of the office.

When Yang Xiaotao drove away from the gate, Liu Lixue's voice was heard from the machinery factory's radio speakers.

When listening to this song, you can immediately notice the difference between professional broadcasters and ordinary people.

Yang Xiaotao didn't listen much because the car had already gone quite far away and the sound behind him was barely discernible.

Arriving at the steel plant, Yang Xiaotao stopped the car and went straight to the United Star Research Institute.

Before I even entered the door, I heard a heated argument coming from inside.

Yang Xiaotao stopped at the door and paused for a while.

"I think we should make experimental adjustments to the hardness based on the existing conditions while ensuring the weight, so as to meet the requirements."

Yang Xiaotao recognized that this should be Xu Ning's voice.

Now, after a period of study and practice, Xu Ning has become the deputy team leader of the institute's technical group. An Zhongsheng will entrust him with some daily research.

"What Lao Xu said makes sense. We don't have the ability to research new alloy materials in a short period of time. It is correct to modify the original alloy at this time."

"We can make adjustments to the process, such as using chemical reactions to tin iron, or changing the temperature of the metal. We can try these out!"

The voice belongs to Li Junming, who is also An Zhongsheng's favorite disciple.

Although he is An Zhongsheng's disciple, Li Junming is a member of the R&D team in the institute and has extraordinary talent in R&D.

Especially when it comes to the ratio of materials, sometimes it cannot be said to be accidental, but it can also be a blessing in disguise.

If Xu Ning is to take over An Zhongsheng's job in the future, then Li Junming is the person that the old Taoist values.

"But I think that in order to ensure hardness, the proportion of each component must be maintained. If the weight is reduced, it means that the size will not meet the standard. This must be considered!"

"So the best way is to increase the intensity!"

Li Junming did not completely agree with Xu Ning's approach, and obviously considered it more comprehensively.

"Neither this nor that will work. I think we should just try to find a new alloy."

"We just found some research materials. If we make a mistake, we can try them one by one. There will always be results."

There is no need to think, the person who said this is Li Lei.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao felt very relieved.

Back then, there were only a few people in the research institute, and they were all laymen. Even the copper-tungsten alloy was so difficult that they couldn’t sleep.

Looking at it now, everyone's growth has exceeded his expectations.

Feeling relieved, I did not stop and opened the door and walked in.

"Mr. Yang!"

"Director!"

As soon as I entered the door, An Zhongsheng and others looked over and greeted me.

Yang Xiaotao nodded to everyone one by one, and then looked at the blackboard next to him, which was the design drawing of the intake fan of the turbojet engine, with several sets of data next to it.

"I heard that they were in trouble, so I came to see you."

After the voice fell, Li Lei and others looked embarrassed, and then explained, "Boss Yang, we analyzed it and wanted to meet these data. The current materials cannot meet them, so we came here to find a solution."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Just think of a way."

"I just heard some ideas outside. What do you think? Is there anyone who can tell me about them?"

Yang Xiaotao found a table to lean on and looked at everyone.

An Zhongsheng and the old Taoist just watched from the side without saying anything, obviously leaving the opportunity to the young man.

Several people looked at each other, and finally Li Lei spoke first, "Boss Yang, we have three directions now."

"The first is to re-study new alloy materials. We have to start from scratch in this regard, and the total amount of work will be larger, but the advantage is that once we have made them, we can open up new areas."

“The second and third ones are adjustments based on the existing alloys.”

"The difference is, one is to reduce weight, the other is to increase stiffness..."

After Li Lei finished speaking, Xu Ning, Li Junming and others beside him nodded.

Obviously Li Lei's language organization ability is still good. He quickly expressed the opinions of both parties, and Yang Xiaotao also heard it clearly.

However, what made Yang Xiaotao feel more gratified was their ideas.

Some things are not impossible to do, but unimaginable.

Just like in the beginning, after the research institute was established, everyone only knew that they wanted to study alloys, but no one knew what direction to go in.

Looking at the present, in just over a year, these people have made great progress and can now think.

This is what Yang Xiaotao wants to see.

Only by learning and thinking can we make continuous progress.
