Chapter 1826 Ran's Father's Complaint

Seventh Machinery Department.

Father Ran hung up the phone, feeling annoyed.

But after hanging up the phone, I felt a little regretful that I shouldn't have spoken to Lao Zheng in that tone.

But if he were to fight back, he wouldn't be able to save face.

So he focused his attention on the table in front of him.

There were piles of documents on the table in front of him arranged in no particular order, but he could accurately find the information he needed.

These were all delivered today.

I picked up a report at random. It was a report on the experiment at Minjian.

The Seventh Ministry of Machine Building conducted rocket launching experiments there.

This first and second stage was directly modified from a missile and performed stably in the experiment, then plunged into the sea.

It fully demonstrates the characteristics of surface-to-surface missiles.

But what they want is to fly upwards.

After a while, Father Ran put down the report and placed it in the safe behind him, then looked at the data sheet in his hand.

That is experimental data about the launch vehicle engine.

It is gathered from various experimental sites and is also the result of experiments over the past month.

Just by looking at the data circled in red above, you can tell that this experiment did not meet Mr. Ran’s requirements.

However, Father Ran was not thinking about this at the moment, or rather, he had seen this kind of result many times and was already used to it.

If there is no problem in any experiment, that would be the biggest problem.

He even suspected that the people doing the experiment below had forged the results to fool him.

For him, having problems is normal and everyone just needs to work hard to solve them.

Isn’t this what we did when we were in the northwest?

Falsification or design changes are the most unforgivable.

Father Ran put down the data sheet and rubbed his cheeks with both hands.

If you say I'm used to it, it's just because I've been disappointed so many times and my psychological ability to withstand it is strong.

But it doesn’t mean you’ll be in a good mood.

Even during this mood change and adjustment, the body will habitually make movements.

Just like what Ran's father was doing now, rubbing his cheeks.

After a while, Father Ran adjusted himself, loosened his hands, took a deep breath, and looked at the banner in the office.

'Be self-reliant and independent!'

These eight words always remind him to keep fighting.

He just looked at the blackboard not far away, and his eyes became dim again.

On the blackboard, various data are listed on horizontal lines.

One of the columns contains data about satellite design.

Starting from the number one hundred marked at the top, it gradually increased and finally became one hundred and three.

Behind each increase in these numbers lies an increase in their rocket thrust.

And increased thrust means more fuel, and larger size.
It means more investment.

Now, their experiment faces this dilemma.

Father Ran withdrew his gaze, looked at the phone on the table, then looked at the data table, and then turned his attention to Lao Zheng's matter, thinking about how to help.

He and Lao Zheng have been friends for many years. Although they work in different places, their relationship is not affected at all.

The two of them would even make time to call each other and talk about their recent situation.

So he knows Lao Zheng very well.

This time, I have to ask for help from myself, so there is definitely no other way.

Just thinking about the aircraft engines researched by the Third Ministry of Machine Building, they are completely different from their rocket engines.

Can he help?
I have some doubts myself.

With a light sigh, Father Ran got up and went out, came to the sunny house at the east end, and knocked on the door.

house.

Mr. Wang was sitting on the side with a cigarette in his hand, but he didn't light it. He was talking to Mr. Qian at the table.

The two were talking about satellite research when they heard a knock on the door.

Old Qian raised his head and spoke softly, then the door opened and Ran's father walked in.

"lead!"

"Chief!"

Father Ran didn't expect that Mr. Wang was also there, and he hurriedly greeted him after entering the door.

Seeing that it was Ran's father who came in, Old Qian smiled and nodded.

Mr. Qian admired and recognized Mr. Ran's work ability and responsible attitude.

That is why he put him in charge of the research and development of rocket engines, giving him a stage to fully display his talents!

And Ran's father did not disappoint his expectations. He led the team to overcome one problem after another, which made him worry-free while getting closer and closer to the predetermined goal.

When Mr. Wang saw that it was Mr. Ran, he stood up from his seat, put the cigarette in his left hand, and walked forward with a smile, "Hey, Comrade Ran, thank you for your hard work!"

As he said this, he clenched his right hand and walked around vigorously in the surprised look of Ran's father.

Father Ran was so confused by what Mr. Wang did that he just stood there in a daze!

They are in the same building, it’s not like they haven’t met before!

What does this mean?
On the other hand, Mr. Qian, who was sitting on the chair, smiled and thought about something.

"Well, Chief, it's not hard, not hard!"

Mr. Ran had his hand held by Mr. Wang. He gave a stiff smile and then began to answer.

“No matter how hard it is, you must take care of your body.”

"This body is the capital of revolution. Without a good body, how can we withstand the tempering of revolution!"

As Mr. Wang spoke earnestly, Father Ran was suddenly a little moved.

Mr. Wang, who holds a high position, still cares so much about his subordinates. He is really approachable!

Just when Ran's father was filled with gratitude, Old Wang changed the subject and said, "By the way, have you visited your son-in-law recently?"

"Son-in-law, Yang Xiaotao?"

Although Father Ran's emotional quotient was not very high, his IQ was definitely not low. Especially when it came to his family, he was like the Six Meridians Divine Sword, and he immediately understood what the other party meant.

The other party's words are full of ulterior motives and are targeting Yang Xiaotao!

"Well, I've been busy lately and haven't been home yet!"

Father Ran smiled and then pulled his hand out.

After hearing this, Mr. Wang said in a serious tone, "Comrade Ran, I have to say something to you. You can't be careless when it comes to self-cultivation and family harmony!"

"Especially we should care for the younger generations and let them feel the warmth from their elders!"

As Old Wang spoke, Ran's father felt a little uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, Commander. The children are grown up and have their own lives. As parents, we just need to not cause them any trouble!"

"What do you mean by making trouble? Comrade Ran, your idea is wrong. This is the care of revolutionary predecessors and the experience of young comrades..."

Old Wang spoke again, and things seemed to be getting out of control.

The more Father Ran listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. This situation seemed somewhat familiar!
By the way, what happened last time? It seemed like it was about a machine tool?

Or is it about Shen Rong?

In short, this familiar smell must have a purpose!

Cough
Elder Qian knew it was time for him to step forward, so he coughed to interrupt Elder Wang's endless chatter, "Director Ran, what's the matter?"

Father Ran nodded, then came over and sat down.

Seeing this, Mr. Wang also walked aside but did not leave.

"Leader, Director Zheng from the Third Machine Department called just now and they are facing some problems..."

Then Ran's father recounted the conversation, "Maybe he thought that everyone was making engines, so he wanted to ask for our opinions!"

As soon as Father Ran finished speaking, without waiting for Old Qian to speak, Old Wang started laughing to himself.

"Haha, I didn't expect that Old Zhang would also need help from others!"

"Are you still asking us for help?"

"Strange, how strange!"

In his opinion, no matter whether it was Zheng Shuangyan or someone else, as long as it was from the Third Ministry of Machine Building, and the call was sent here, it was the Third Ministry of Machine Building's business.

We’ll have something to talk about next time we meet!
Mr. Qian ignored Mr. Wang's little thoughts, but frowned and thought about what Mr. Ran said.

After a long while, Mr. Qian raised his head and said seriously, "I can't say anything about this kind of thing without careful research!"

Mr. Qian is as rigorous as ever and will provide everything he knows without reservation.

But I won’t say anything about things I’m not sure about.

Moreover, there are so many researchers and engineers in the Third Ministry of Machine Building who have spent so much time and effort on this. He doesn't believe that there will be no results.

It is better to review it yourself than to let him give guidance.

"The engines we make are not the same, and there are also differences in dynamics. It's hard to give theoretical guidance like this!"

After Mr. Qian finished speaking, Mr. Ran nodded in approval. This result was not beyond his expectations.

"As for production technology, everyone is in the same situation, and the materials are also similar. We have everything we need!"

Both of them nodded after hearing this. After all, the Third Ministry of Machine Building had a solid financial foundation.

At least it's stronger than their Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

Mr. Qian was silent for a moment, then he said, "If you really want to give me some advice, let's look for a breakthrough in design!"

“Once you design something, you must stick to it!”

"If you change this and that, the integrity will be destroyed and the final product will be completely different!"

After hearing what Mr. Qian meant, Mr. Ran understood. This was also what he wanted to say.

Until the end, who knows whether the design is good or bad?
However, saying it out loud is one thing, and whether it can be solved is another.

Because they face the same problem.

The reason behind the experimental data sheet on the table is largely due to the substandard materials and technology.

The required thickness is 3mm, but the finished product is 4mm...

I was supposed to last 30 seconds in a 1,500 degree high temperature, but I could only last 20 seconds...

If these data do not meet the standards, no matter how good the design is, it will be useless.

It’s just that they didn’t change to four millimeters just because they couldn’t do three millimeters.

Instead, look for someone who can do it to three millimeters!
"I guess they are aware of this matter and still want to take a shortcut."

"So, it's useless for you to say this!"

Old Wang was smacking his lips, holding the cigarette in his mouth, but he still didn't light it!

"If you can't hurry up, you have to revise it, and then do it again. If it's not done well, you have to hurry up again, and then revise it again..."

"This cycle has been going on for years, hasn't it?"

"In the past, we had plenty of time and could overcome problems one by one and solve them!"

"Now..."

Mr. Wang shook his head and sighed, while Mr. Qian picked up the pen and twisted the cap.

Perhaps it was the confidence brought by the mushroom eggs that made the above requirements much tougher than before.

"Instructions" for scientific research work also became more frequent, which invisibly put layer of shackles on them.

"Even if you tell them, they still have to do what they have to do!"

“Nothing can be done!”

Although Mr. Wang speaks directly, his words are not harsh but his logic is not.

Some things cannot be changed just because they want to!

"If you ask me, if they want to make it, they have to be patient like us, take one step at a time, and be down-to-earth!"

After hearing this, Mr. Qian nodded to Mr. Wang and said, "I agree with Mr. Wang on this point!"

“When doing research, once you have determined your goal, you must be aware of the direct path and not seek shortcuts. That will not achieve your goal.”

At the same time, it is also a reminder to Ran's father, "Just like what we are doing now, we must move forward steadily and solve all the problems we have considered."

"If you rush for success, you will only end up in failure."

Father Ran nodded, "I understand!"

Tell Mr. Qian on behalf of Mr. Zheng that he has done it. If it doesn't solve the problem, there is nothing he can do.

Besides, they still have a lot of problems to solve.
