Chapter 1998 The Temperature of the Palm

As he picked up the wine glass, Yang Xiaotao discovered that the old woman was drinking fruit juice, which should be a special treatment.

The wine cups clinked together, the old man drank it up first, and the others saw this and drank up the wine too.

"Come on, keep eating."

The old man continued to greet.

He didn't look like a leader at all, and the people in the next room laughed when they saw him.

"Sister, this is the first time I've seen the commander like this."

Tang Mingyue smiled, and the eldest sister laughed and said, "That's because you haven't seen him when he was young. He, to be frank, drinks a lot. There are not many people who can drink more than him."

"Really?"

"Of course, I have been taking care of myself for the sake of my health in the past two years."

"But after I went to Yangjia Village last time, my health has been getting better day by day. I can eat and walk without panting. I also drink a little every now and then and sleep soundly."

"I always say that if you don't have any worries, your body will naturally be healthy."

As the eldest sister spoke, everyone was happy.

After finishing a glass of wine, everyone's eating speed increased significantly. It was because the food was so delicious.

"Comrade Xiao Tao, did you cook all this food?"

The person who spoke was an iron man wearing a neat Zhongshan suit.

Yang Xiaotao put down his chopsticks and looked at the man, "Yes, Comrade Tieren."

"you know me?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately, "Iron Man Spirit, if there is an opportunity, go for it, if there is no opportunity, create one."

"This is the slogan painted on the wall of our machinery factory!"

The Iron Man smiled and shook his head, "But what I heard is that we should learn from Daqing in industry, Dazhai in agriculture, and Hongxing in innovation."

Yang Xiaotao was stunned, and then realized that the other party knew him.

"Comrade Tieren, hello, I'm Yang Xiaotao from the Red Star Machinery Factory."

This time it was Yang Xiaotao who took the initiative to stand up and extended his hand.

The Iron Man also stood up, "Hello, Comrade Yang Xiaotao!"

This is another pair of rough hands, and the grip is filled with the warmth of strength.

But on this rough back of the hand, beneath the crisscrossing lines are dark spots.

"When I was in Daqing, I heard that there were many tractors and tricycles in our country, so we had to work harder to get oil every day."

"This is exhausting."

"Last I inquired, it turned out that the Red Star Machinery Factory produced so many of them."

The iron man spoke with a smile, his voice was very contagious and made people feel good about him.

"That was our fault, and we have to pay it back with wine today."

The two men clasped their hands tightly, shook them vigorously, and then let go and sat down.

"But the tractors produced by your machinery factory are really powerful."

The Iron Man sat down and said, "Now where we are, those trucks can't even handle the cargo transportation."

"Also, I heard you opened a lot of gas stations, which is good."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "We can do so much because we have the support of oil."

"Don't worry about that. As long as you produce the cars, we guarantee that we will pump out the oil for you."

"Okay, I've been waiting for you to say that."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and picked up the wine glass, "Here, I'm offering this to you."

"Hey, you two can't drink by yourselves."

Chen Yonggui, who was standing by, understood what was going on and quickly picked up his wine glass. "Did you produce the Red Star brand tractor?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded.

"Hey, I'll drink this glass of wine too."

"You don't know, that tractor is equivalent to ten cows."

"It can not only haul goods, water, and people, but it can also pull a plow. As long as there is oil, you can keep working."

"In our area, if there is no red star in any village, girls from other villages will not marry into the family."

At this point, Chen Yonggui thought of something else and looked at the iron man beside him, "Also, the oil that this iron cow drinks is thanks to you."

"I toast to both of you."

"No, no, you two are both elder brothers. I respect you two elder brothers."

"Brother, without your oil and cars, we wouldn't have crops."

The three of them started talking to each other at the table. The old man talked to the old woman next to him with their heads down, glancing at Yang Xiaotao from time to time. On the other side, Old Yuan was also talking to the middle-aged man next to him, and the young man next to him was listening attentively. For a while, the table was very lively.

“This has become a toasting party.”

Ran Qiuye was taking pictures at the side. The elder sister next to her smiled and seemed to like this atmosphere.

Looking at the old man, she felt that her partner was really happy this time.

"Okay, if you three keep toasting, all the wine will be spilled."

Hearing this, the three of them laughed.

"Brothers, I'll drink first as a sign of respect."

After saying that, Yang Xiaotao did not stop and drank the wine in one gulp.

The remaining two also finished their drinks.

Then they continued to eat.

Yang Xiaotao also learned information about other people from Teacher Yuan.

The old lady who was talking to the old man was a very good doctor.

"When I was born, she was the one who delivered me. Her signature is even on my birth certificate."

"By the way, because of her hard work, the country's infant mortality rate and maternal mortality rate have been reduced by at least 200%. Even great people have met her."

Yang Xiaotao suddenly remembered that in his previous life there was a person who moved China, and people called her the "Mother of Ten Thousand Babies."

"Is her name Lin Qiaoya?"

After hearing this, Mr. Yuan nodded in surprise.

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath. This is the most important person here.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the old woman with an expression of admiration.

I must take a photo with her later.

By the way, I also want to ask if she was the one who delivered my baby.

This is also an honor.

Then Mr. Yuan talked about the remaining three people.

The middle-aged man next to Chen Yonggui is called Zhu Ziqing. I heard he is a very good chemistry expert and is currently a professor at Jingao University.

The young man was a soldier named Yu Bei. He lost his right arm while saving people in the Shunde earthquake.

The last middle-aged man looked familiar, and when Yuan Lao mentioned his name, Yang Xiaotao immediately remembered this person: Wang Guangmei.

He is from the Shanghai Institute of Biology and is also one of the participants in the artificial synthesis of bovine insulin.

He was the one who gave a report at the last scientific conference hosted by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Yang Xiaotao still remembers that the topic at that time was the artificial synthesis of protein.

It now appears that this bovine insulin should be synthetic.

At this time, Wang Guangmei also looked at Yang Xiaotao, "Teacher Yang, long time no see."

As he spoke, he also stretched out his hand.

Yang Xiaotao held it with both hands.

The palm is thin, and there is a focused warmth when holding it.

"Teacher Wang, long time no see."

“You made insulin?”

Yang Xiaotao asked curiously.

Wang Guangmei nodded and said, "It was made in May last year."

"This is all thanks to you. Last time I listened to your lecture on genetic recombination, we were able to get more specific when we went back to do the research, which greatly shortened the time."

"Your theoretical support was a great help in making insulin artificially synthesized this time."

“It’s good as long as it’s done.”

Yang Xiaotao said this happily, he knew that if this research was successful, he would be able to win a Nobel Prize.

Unfortunately, I was never successful in my previous life.

Although there are many requirements for the selection, such as the number of participants cannot exceed three, and there must be actual value, etc., in fact, those so-called "judges" control the threshold and look down on us.

But it doesn’t matter. If we don’t take this award, no one else can get it either.

Who made us do this first?

If others want to win the prize, they cannot avoid Nobel's requirement, which is that the results must be completely innovative.

However, if this thing is converted into actual value, it will be much more than the current Palace Jade Liquor.

Moreover, this is a life-saving medicine.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao felt that he was unable to achieve mass production in his previous life and truly benefit diabetic patients, so this time, he would make up for this regret.

"Teacher Wang, can the insulin you developed be put into production?"

Yang Xiaotao asked in a low voice. Wang Guangmei was stunned for a moment and then shook her head.

"no!"

Wang Guangmei's somewhat disappointed answer made Yang Xiaotao realize that there might be something else going on.

Otherwise, such important research results would not stop at the laboratory.

Especially since this is a very famous experiment.

"why?"

Yang Xiaotao asked again.

Wang Guangmei thought about it and finally said, "During this period, we also wanted to start production, but we faced more problems than we thought."

“Factory production is different from laboratory research.”

"In short, it's hard to explain in a few words."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao nodded, but did not give up.

"So, when will you return to Shanghai, Mr. Wang?"

"If you have enough time, how about we chat together?"

Wang Guangmei was very moved by Yang Xiaotao's words.

"I'm in no hurry to go back!"

"Well, I'll invite you to the machine shop tomorrow."

"Row!"

While the two were talking, they noticed that everyone at the table was looking at Yang Xiaotao.

Chen Yonggui even laughed at this time, "Xiao Yang, you don't know Teacher Wang, do you?"

Yang Xiaotao immediately laughed and said, "Brother Chen, you know what, we really know each other."

Not only Chen Yonggui became interested, but even Teacher Yuan beside him was surprised, "No wonder you two sound so familiar when you talk. It turns out you've known each other for a long time."

The old man also asked, "Tell me, how did you two know each other?"

Before Yang Xiaotao could speak, Wang Guangmei said, "I met Teacher Yang at a science and technology conference hosted by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences."

“At that time, Professor Yang came to the stage with the topic of gene recombination and gene mutation, which was of great help to our work.”

After saying this, Chen Yonggui immediately shouted in surprise, "My goodness, brother, what on earth are you?"

"Worker, teacher, and expert professor."

"This kind of research is also about land, tractors, and now they are even studying genes. It's incredible."

After hearing this, several people realized that it was true.

Of course, the old man just smiled at this, because Chen Yonggui still had a lot to say, such as the research on alloys and machine tools.

He had just received a report from Mr. Chen. This guy had very sharp eyes.

"I am a revolutionary worker, just a brick, I will be moved wherever I am needed."

Yang Xiaotao said with a smile, and Chen Yonggui nodded immediately, "That's a good point. We can move wherever we are needed."

"I told Teacher Wang about the industrial production of insulin, which is very important for the development of medicine in our country."

"If it's done well, it will make more money than medicinal wine."

Yang Xiaotao said to the old man, and Wang Guangmei on the side also looked at the old man with hope in her eyes.

They face too many difficulties in achieving mass production, which is simply beyond the capacity of one or two research institutes.

"I know something about this."

The old man drummed his fingers on the table, then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "Since you asked, I think you should think of a solution for this matter first."

Yang Xiaotao nodded.

He wasn't joking, he really wanted to do this well.

"Teacher Wang, let's talk about this in detail tomorrow."

Wang Guangmei nodded. He didn't expect that coming to this city to attend a dinner party would bring him such a gain.

I hope Yang Xiaotao is not just trying to deal with him.

"I see that you already know most of the people at this table. I'll introduce the rest to you."

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao knew many people, the old man introduced the rest to him, "This is your Grandma Lin."

"Hello, Grandma Lin. I'm Yang Xiaotao."

As he spoke, he stood up and stretched out his hands.

The old woman rose slightly and shook hands.

The palm is slender, and when you hold it, you can feel the warmth of life.

"Hello, Comrade Xiao Tao."
