Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1809 Even more powerful than a tiger
Yang Xiaotao picked up the phone, thought for a while, looked at his watch, and decided to call Northwest Wang Huzi first.

Firstly, their place is considered a border area, so new and fresh things will be supplied first.

Secondly, because of his high position, he is well-informed.

Besides, as the boss of the arsenal, he should know these things.

After making the call, I waited for nearly two minutes before I heard the voice on the other end.

"Brother Wang, it's me, Xiao Tao!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Liu Xiangdong in the room was a little confused, but Lou Xiaoe knew how powerful the person on the phone was.

"Haha, my eyelids were twitching this morning, so I knew someone was thinking about me!"

"I didn't expect it was you, kid. What good news did you bring this time?"

Wang Huzi's rough voice followed, full of joy.

Nothing else, he heard about it after the night vision goggles were successfully developed, and now they are waiting to be sent to him.

Of course, many people heard about it, and several old comrades were asking for information. Later, they heard that there was an ordnance research institute, so they called him.

Of course he had to praise this.

Although our army is good at night combat, it also depends on the time of day.

It would be stupid not to use such good equipment and instead use the soldiers' eyes to check it.

Unless conditions do not permit, we will arrange as many as we can.

This time, we will wait until the equipment is in place before testing it out!

If it passes the acceptance, he will be able to get a lot of orders for the institute.

Well, the premise is that there is a factory producing it.

But I heard that a machine repair shop has been arranged to help with production, so mass production is probably not far away.

"Hey, your eyelid twitching is really accurate."

"This is good news, you have to listen to it!"

Wang Huzi was used to Yang Xiaotao's speaking style and didn't care. He sat in the office and waved to Xiao Wu who came in, indicating him to wait a moment.

"Then you have to tell me in detail. I'm all ears."

"Hey, the large night vision device we designed has been successfully tested. We are going to make three and send them to you. It's just right for on-site testing."

"By the way, I'm sending you ten pairs of night vision goggles for individual combat. We've used them and they work great. You can try them too!"

"I estimate that we will receive the goods by this time next week!"

"Okay, I'll wait!"

Wang Huzi was very happy. With this thing, the night was their world.

"By the way, when are you coming over? I heard that your machinery factory is conducting an internal audit, and there's news from the Second Factory as well. Why don't you bring your team over to conduct an audit?"

When Yang Xiaotao heard Wang Huzi's question, he immediately laughed and said, "I didn't expect the news to reach you!"

"What do you think? The Northwest has also been notified!"

After Wang Huzi finished speaking, he lowered his voice and reminded, "Just do your own thing and don't worry about the rest!"

"I see!"

Yang Xiaotao replied, and then asked, "By the way, I have another question!"

"you say!"

"Our colleagues at the institute have discovered a problem: when a tank driver is aiming, the last shot will waste a lot of time..."

Yang Xiaotao described Liu Xiangdong's discovery. Wang Huzi on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment. Then there were thudding sounds from the phone, and after a while, voices were heard.

"I understand what you said, and this problem does exist."

“Is there a solution?”

"Yes! It's to strengthen the training of gunners!"

"These days, practice makes perfect. As long as you train well, there is nothing you can't do well."

Yang Xiaotao was speechless after hearing this. This was indeed a solution, and it was a simple and low-cost solution.

But this was not the method he wanted.

"I mean, is there any equipment that can solve this problem?"

"instrument?"

"Whatever machine you need, you just need someone."

Wang Huzi was a little confused. Although technology was improving rapidly these days, it still depended on people to operate it in the final analysis!
"Okay, I get it! Anyway, there is no relevant equipment right now, right?"

"no!"

"Is there any other place? Or is there any news about this?"

Wang Huzi was silent for a moment, and then his voice came, "I haven't heard of this."

"From what you said, you want to study this thing?"

Wang Huzi finally reacted.

"Yes, if there is no research in this area, our institute is ready to give it a try!"

"Okay, that's it for now. I still need to make a phone call to ask. We'll talk about it when we have time!"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the time and found that the two of them had been on the long-distance call for half an hour.

"Okay, come to me if you have any questions!"

Wang Huzi hung up the phone, stroked his newly grown stubble, and wondered, "Could there really be such an instrument?"

"If it really exists, then wouldn't everyone be a master gunner?"

Thinking of that scene, Wang Huzi pinched his beard out of habit, but he pinched nothing.

“You still have to grow a beard!”

Wang Huzi was thinking about something. Xiao Wu came forward after seeing the call was hung up. "Chief, General Basayev has arrived at the guesthouse. Should we set off?"

Wang Huzi came back to his senses and nodded, "Let's go, don't keep the guests waiting."

Then he asked, "By the way, where is Lao Qian?"

"Secretary Qian has been waiting downstairs for a long time."

"You don't know, this time we cooperated with Basayev, we provided cotton, and they made masks, but they made a lot of money."

"I heard that they were all sold to the Alliance. Indians in the south also bought a lot. These guys are superstitious and sold our masks. I think they are just afraid of death!"

"Commander, how much capitalist money do you think we can make this time?"

"If this gets to us, can we buy more planes and cannons?"

Xiao Wu spoke out quickly, and then saw Wang Huzi glaring at him, "You are the only one who talks too much."

"This money belongs to the country and must be turned in. What to do with it is the business of those above us." After Wang Huzi finished speaking, he walked out. Xiao Wu was scolded and followed him with his head down.

Wang Huzi was thinking that this opportunity seemed to have been given to them by Yang Xiaotao.

When he came back and told Lao Qian about it, he didn't take it seriously. However, Lao Qian saw the business opportunity and immediately started cooperating with Basayev.

You know what, after we opened up the sales channels, we made a fortune every day.

Now, when Lao Qian talks about this, he always praises Yang Xiaotao for being a good businessman.

"Looks like I need to talk to my superiors and ask them to at least give me a medal."

On the other side, Yang Xiaotao hung up the phone and nodded to Liu Xiangdong, "Not really. I'll ask if anyone is researching this."

Liu Xiangdong just nodded, his heart still in his throat.

"Director Xue, I'm Yang Xiaotao from the Machinery Factory!"

I called again, this time to the office director of the Logistics Department.

When Director Xue heard that it was Yang Xiaotao, his sleepy head suddenly woke up. They had not had much contact during this period of time.

But it doesn’t mean he doesn’t take it seriously.

On the contrary, he had dealt with Yang Xiaotao before he took this position.

At that time, Yang Xiaotao gave him the impression of being extremely talented.

After several collaborations later, especially on the semi-automatic machine tools, he realized that he was not only talented, but also a monster.

Later, Yang Xiaotao asked him for help, and they discovered the Nautilus model. With this, the research on Jiangxin Island entered the fast lane.

This also allowed him to successfully catch the attention of the leader, which enabled him to get this position.

Therefore, he felt more gratitude and respect towards Yang Xiaotao.

Besides, this person is highly praised by their bosses. Now many key projects of the Logistics Department need help from the machinery factory.

Not to be offended.

"Mr. Yang, I am a rare guest. What can I do for you?"

"Director Xue, I do have something I want to consult you about!"

Yang Xiaotao was not polite. If there was really such research, their logistics department, which was responsible for armaments, would definitely know it.

If not, given the relationship between their machinery factory and the logistics department, they would not be deceived.

Yang Xiaotao then repeated what he had said before, and Director Xue immediately came up with an answer after a little thought.

Nothing else, he deals with equipment all day long, he knows exactly what is there and what is needed.

"Boss Yang, we haven't studied the issue you mentioned."

“And there was no response to this question from below.”

Director Xue said, thinking about the purpose of the other party's inquiry, he probably had something to ask, so he asked tentatively, "But Mr. Yang, if you need it, we can arrange for someone to study it. Our logistics department is definitely capable in this regard..."

"Director Xue, thank you. I'm just asking. I'll ask you for help if I need it."

Yang Xiaotao was now completely relieved and hung up the phone with a smile.

Director Xue shook his head helplessly when he heard the dead tone on the phone. He realized that something must be going on at the machinery factory, and that the situation mentioned by Yang Xiaotao, if resolved, would significantly improve combat effectiveness.

He is the king of land warfare!

With this thing, wouldn’t it be like having wings on a tiger?

Director Xue was just thinking about how to deal with the matter and whether to intervene when the office door was pushed open and Old Qin walked in with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

Seeing Director Xue in a daze and suspected that he was ignoring him, he coughed quietly.

Director Xue came to his senses and saw his boss standing beside him, so he quickly stood up.

This gentleman has been in a bad mood recently.

We cooperated with the Third Ministry of Machine Building to research aircraft, but not only did we lose in engines, we were also far behind in aircraft design.

Although the two companies are in a cooperative state, there is also internal competition.

If the plane finally flew into the sky, I would ask you what you did.

In the end, they said the engine was ours, the wings were ours...

Even if others take 51%, it would be shameful if I take less!

Under such circumstances, this gentleman had to get up early and work late, and his researchers were forced to work day and night for fear of attracting the other party's attention.

Seeing that Mr. Qin was looking at him, if he didn't explain the reason, he would probably have to take a political lesson!
"Commander, Comrade Yang Xiaotao from the Red Star Machinery Factory called just now!"

"Yang Xiaotao? Why is he calling?"

When he heard the name Yang Xiaotao, Old Qin's expression turned from gloomy to bright, which made Director Xue secretly surprised. Fortunately, it was Yang Xiaotao who called.

"He asked if we had developed a device to adjust the aiming of the tanks..."

Director Xue immediately explained the situation in a concise and clear manner, fearing that his excessive talk would cause dissatisfaction among the bosses.

"What the hell is this..."

Just as Old Qin was about to speak, he subconsciously thought of what Yang Xiaotao was going to do, which was not going to be simple.

And then, seeing Director Xue's expression, I understood that if this thing could really be made, the improvement in combat effectiveness would be far from a little bit!

Director Xue knew that his boss had figured it out, so he took the opportunity to step forward and whispered, "Chief, should we cooperate with them?"

Old Qin had a struggling look on his face. If he participated in the research, it would definitely be beneficial if it succeeded.

But then he thought of the current difficult problems in the logistics department and shook his head again.

"Forget it, we haven't figured out our own business yet, let's put the others aside!"

"Ok!"

Director Xue was just talking. He had never heard of this thing. If he wanted to get involved, he would need the right person.

"By the way, Commander, I heard they are also working on engines."

"At this critical juncture, instead of researching the engine, you still want to do this. Don't you think you are giving up because you know the difficulty?"

“That’s why I changed my research topic.”

Director Xue guessed that, after all, aircraft engines were a big problem for them.

He did not underestimate the machinery factory and also recognized Yang Xiaotao's abilities.

But no matter how evil a person is, he is still just a person.

They have hundreds of researchers in their logistics department, and there will be no "fake materials" this time. They will never lose to one person.

After hearing this, Mr. Qin also felt that this was the case.

"Forget it. We have no right to interfere in other people's affairs. I still say the same thing. Let's do our own thing first."

After leaving a few words, Mr. Qin prepared to leave and go down to see the progress of the engine research.

It's already July, and I had originally planned to present it as a gift during National Day, but now it seems that it would be good enough if I could just get the engine done.
