Chapter 1994 No More Counting

the other side.

When Tang Mingyue returned to her residence, her eldest sister was holding Xingxing in the yard, watching the moon. An old man beside them was holding a bowl and scooping millet porridge with a spoon, feeding him bit by bit.

The two old people are just like ordinary grandparents and they are particularly fond of this little grandson.

The little guy didn't know what the moon in the sky was, so he stretched out his hand to grab it, which made the eldest sister and the old man laugh.

"Miss!"

Tang Mingyue walked forward, and when the little guy saw his mother coming, he immediately reached out for a hug.

After taking the child, the eldest sister smiled and said, "You are finally back. If you hadn't come back, Grandpa would have had to have someone drive the child there."

The old man put down the bowl and said, "Oh, this little guy is full of energy and never idle for a moment."

Tang Mingyue smiled, and then the three of them went into the house.

"You said he could tell the composition of the materials by color?"

Tang Mingyue told her eldest sister the news she had heard, and she was shocked.

"Yes, several leaders have seen it, and he also took out a formula for a new alloy material, which means that there is no raw material in the country."

"This is the first time I've heard of this skill."

The elder sister looked at the people around her suspiciously, but the old man laughed and clapped his hands after hearing it. "The last time I went to their machinery factory, there was a 'skills competition', and this kid showed off his ability to assemble an engine with his eyes closed."

“I didn’t expect there was this trick.”

Tang Mingyue nodded. She still remembered that the leader had hidden a part and Yang Xiaotao had disassembled it and reassembled it.

Finally, it was discovered that a part was deliberately hidden by the leader, and that was the end of it.

"He said that it was the experience he accumulated over time, coupled with his careful memorization, that enabled him to develop this ability."

Tang Mingyue said something good for Yang Xiaotao, and the eldest sister immediately praised him, "This child is talented and willing to work hard. He can achieve such results because of his hard work."

Tang Mingyue nodded, thinking of the question asked by Lou Xiao'e at the dinner table. Yang Xiaotao said, "As long as you work hard, you will definitely succeed in the future."

This made a great impression on her.

The old man nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, this is the attitude that a revolutionary worker should have towards work."

"This is the talent we need."

"This dinner tomorrow night will be even more meaningful."

The old man could hardly hide the smile on his face, but the elder sister pulled Tang Mingyue aside and said, "Come on, let's go prepare tomorrow's meal."

"Now that we have someone in charge of cooking, we have to get the job done."

Tang Mingyue smiled and nodded, then the two of them went out, leaving the old man alone in deep thought.

After a long time, the old man picked up the phone and made a call.

"Old Chen, I heard that your event today was quite exciting."

The old man spoke with a smile, and Chen Lao naturally knew what was going on, so he smiled and said, "You don't know, at the beginning, those old guys almost fought."

"later."

Mr. Chen gave a brief explanation, which was similar to what Tang Mingyue said.

"I've talked to Lao Qin and the others. As long as there are enough materials on Jiangdao Island, the nuclear reactor can be successfully installed. This is the most important part."

"Once this obstacle is removed, everything will go smoothly from now on."

"According to estimates by the comrades over there, if everything goes well, we will be able to go out to sea for sea trials by the end of next year."

"Also, the Third Ministry of Machine Building's aircraft engine didn't work last time, so they plan to try using new materials. The aircraft factory has also made arrangements and is also planning to use new materials."

"Also, I heard from Lao Qian that the Chinese Academy of Sciences is also considering switching to new materials. It is said that this can reduce the weight of satellites by one-fifth, which is of great significance to research work."

"There are also people from the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building. They are also waiting for materials."

Mr. Chen spoke one by one, and the old man listened carefully.

"Now the titanium alloy type 01 is easy to deal with, but the new alloy requires metal rhenium."

"I consulted some geological experts about this thing, and they all said that there is no such mineral deposit in China and it needs to be imported from abroad."

Finally, Mr. Chen said helplessly.

The old man smiled and consoled, "This is already very good. At least we have a door and a way. The next step is to follow the routine."

"As for buying things, as long as the price is right, you can always buy it."

"If that doesn't work, just ask your allies to buy it for you."

"As for the alliance, humph, don't count on them!"

The old man said that he had heard Lao Zeng say that the other party's hand was too long!

After hearing this, Mr. Chen suddenly thought of someone.

Mosidov!

Considering their relationship with Persia, if they use it properly, there should be no problem.

"Hey, I actually have a solution, but I need someone's help!"

"Hmm? Tell me!"

"Didn't we cure it last time..."

The two of them quickly ended the call. The old man got up and walked outside the study. Looking at the little guy lying on the bed and waving, he hurried forward to hold his little hand, "Oh, no one is taking care of you. Come, let grandpa hug you..."

……

the next day.

After Yang Xiaotao arrived at the machinery factory, he went to the steel plant at the urging of Liu Huaimin.

The share that was arranged yesterday was sent today to urge delivery.

People from various machine departments came in a hurry to get materials. Everyone wanted more and no one gave in to anyone else.

Guan Zhiyong was faced with these people, each of them was either a supervisor or a section chief. Everyone wanted to get it as soon as possible, and when they started arguing, no one could control him.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaotao came over. When everyone saw Yang Xiaotao, they immediately became as obedient as quails and followed the steel plant's arrangements.

Guan Zhiyong and An Zhongsheng were all impressed that there is always someone better than you.

After walking around the workshop, Yang Xiaotao came to the office of United Star. This room was usually the director's office, but now it was more like a data storage room.

This is also the reason why he doesn't come here often. Finding a place to sit down, Yang Xiaotao took out a notebook from his backpack and took this opportunity to familiarize himself with the structure of Chen Xing's machine tool.

After the work at the steel plant was finished in the morning, Yang Xiaotao took a car and left, returning to the machinery factory.

After coming back, he was not idle, but went to a workshop to check the research status of the aircraft engine.

In the workshop, Zhang Guanyu, Liu Daming and others were making parts according to the drawings given to them by Yang Xiaotao.

Although there was a break in the middle due to research on new materials, everyone got back on track after confirming that the materials could not be made.

And this time, no one was free to make changes to the design drawings given by Yang Xiaotao.

Because the facts have proven that what Mr. Yang did was right.

Instead of taking the time to question and verify, it is better to calm down and study how to do it well.

"Mr. Yang, please take a look at this turbine. According to the design you gave me, this is a three-stage axial flow turbine. We use air-cooled blades for the first stage."

Zhang Guanyu was introducing the situation, and Liu Daming, Chen Chonghan and others were beside him.

During this period, they had already thoroughly understood the design drawings of the turbine.

After many tests, we finally produced a qualified product.

Yang Xiaotao lifted the turbine with his arms, looked at it carefully, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Has it been tested? Are all the indicators in compliance?"

Yang Xiaotao asked Zhang Guanyu, who nodded vigorously.

"Everything is made according to the parameters of the design you provided. Even the precision of a screw is confirmed repeatedly."

"In addition, the welding material is also the best titanium alloy."

"For this purpose, our comrade Shi Gan also used dragon scale welding to ensure that the quality is up to standard."

Zhang Guanyu was introducing them, and Liu Daming and others beside him nodded.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then looked at Lou Xiaoe behind him, who hurriedly handed Yang Xiaotao's bag forward.

Then, Yang Xiaotao took out two drawings from it.

“Here are the main components left.”

"One for the combustion chamber."

"One is the afterburner."

"They are similar in structure. You should be more careful. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me. I will also join in the process."

After saying that, Liu Daming and Zhang Guanyu took the design drawings respectively.

A design drawing alone takes up more than ten pages, and this is the original drawing. If you want to produce it, the R&D department will need to redraw it and make it into a drawing suitable for production.

"You guys study it first, don't be impatient, solve the problems when they arise, we can't just copy others and muddle through when we encounter problems."

"Don't worry, Mr. Yang. When I was at the Shicheng Research Institute, I was mainly responsible for the manufacture of this 'combustion chamber'. I looked at the drawings. Although it is more complicated than the Third Machine Department's, it is still within our capabilities."

"Now that we have the materials, we will naturally not delay things."

"Of course, if there is the titanium-rhenium alloy you mentioned, it would be even better."

Chen Chonghan stood up and patted his chest to make the promise, and everyone agreed after hearing it.

Everyone present had heard about the engine issue of the Logistics Department, and they also knew that the Third Ministry of Machine Building had revised the design drawings several times because of the engine.

It’s because I’m afraid something might happen.

So they understood very well what Yang Xiaotao said.

As long as we follow Yang Xiaotao's design drawings, even if there are problems in the end, they will only be problems with the design drawings.

Besides, everyone has their own thoughts on what is better and what is not.

We are all making engines. Just because you can’t make it doesn’t mean we can’t!
Don’t think that we are great just because we have a lot of people. Our machinery factory is not bad at all.

The Third Ministry of Machine Building.

Director Zheng stood aside in the office, watching Mr. Zhang talking on the phone.

"Old Qin, are you sure?"

"Sure, I brought someone to check it out myself, are you still worried?"

Mr. Qin spoke seriously on the phone.

"The blueprint is right on the table. Our people have confirmed that it is the design of the turbine engine. It cannot be fake!"

"Also, I inquired about the factory's manufacturing situation. It's progressing very quickly now. How can we do it so quickly?"

"It must be simple. That's why it's fast!"

"Now it seems that they are indeed practicing. They are just one step ahead in material selection, but when it comes to design, they are still far behind."

"Old Zhang, we can't count on them for this matter, we have to rely on ourselves!"

"We will also reorganize the team and redesign it, but it's hard to say whether we can do it in time!"

"So the final responsibility will fall on you, the Third Ministry of Machine Building."

"Old Zhang, my brother's face depends on you!"

Mr. Qin spoke sincerely, but Mr. Zhang listened in silence.

The two sides jointly research engines, and although there is competition, it is more of a mission.

The mission was not completed and both of them looked unhappy.

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Zhang looked at Director Zheng.

"Xiao Zheng, we can't rely on the machinery factory anymore. We have to rely on ourselves for everything!"

Director Zheng's face darkened, and then he nodded solemnly.

"Commander, we will work overtime to make it. With the new material, our success rate will increase by 20%."

"Well, go ahead. I've already made arrangements with the materials department. The ones from the logistics department will be given to us."

"Yes!"

After saying that, Director Zheng left the office.

Mr. Zhang sat in front of his desk, looking at the sheets of letter paper on the table with hesitation.

"Really just practicing?"
