Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2013: Innovation and Power
on the stage.

Yang Xiaotao seemed to hear Ran Qiuye's voice and waved the flowers in his hand towards this side.

The two people's eyes met across the distance.

At this moment, Ran Qiuye's tears were dripping and her face was full of smiles.

Among the crowd around, Qin Jingru saw this scene, her eyes filled with envy and her mouth felt sour.

Although the other people in the courtyard didn't say anything, they also felt sour in their mouths.

The song was still playing on the loudspeaker, but the four people's mission had been completed.

No one declared the conference over because it was just the beginning.

Afterwards, Yang Xiaotao and four others came to the stage to meet and shake hands with everyone.

Iron Man was as calm as ever, Chen Yonggui still had that simple smile on his face, and Yu Bei's face was serious but he couldn't hide his inner excitement.

They were surrounded in three layers, and were questioned one by one, with words shouted out in their mouths.

No matter who it is, they all want to come forward and feel the warmth of the palm.

In comparison, Yang Xiaotao's treatment was slightly worse.

Although there were many people inside and outside, everyone was from the machinery factory and was relatively restrained.

At least, the female workers didn't do it directly.

Of course, it may also be related to the fact that he works in a machinery factory.

We all see each other when we look up or down.

Even the workers in the branch factories can always see their General Manager Yang.

But the Iron Trio is a rare existence.

In the past, when they came to Beijing, they rarely appeared in front of ordinary people. Most people knew about them from newspapers and radios. It was impossible to see them alive like now.

All three were surrounded by a group of people.

The kind that is packed with people.

Even the security personnel arranged by the machinery factory couldn't take care of it.

Those who were holding notebooks for signatures, those who were calling out names, and those who were asking questions.

The three of them were not shy and answered everyone's questions while telling their own experiences.

Waves of noise were heard from the crowd from time to time.

After meeting with factory directors such as Zhai Jing, Yang Xiaotao invited them to dinner in the evening.

No one has any objection to this.

They are all here, and they also want to maintain good relations with the machinery factory.

The three learning spirits of the machinery factory will spread throughout the country.

As for Yang Xiaotao, after today's conference, his reputation will be as high as that of Iron Man.

This is a man-made hero.

The key is that it really succeeded this time.

If they don't build good relationships with such people and are not close to such factories, who will they be close to?

As for the Iron Three, for them, the factory managers, it would be a pleasure to meet them, but it would not be a pity if they could not meet.

Because there is a ready-made "hero" right in front of them.

After greeting everyone, under the cover of Wang Hao, Yang Xiaotao quietly left the crowd and rushed to the memorial hall.

At the same time, Liu Huaimin had arranged for people from various factories to leave the machinery factory one after another.

It is easy to enter but difficult to exit. A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. They dare not relax.

"Commander, this is the first eight-cylinder diesel engine of our machinery factory. Comrade Yang Xiaotao led his comrades to participate in the production of this engine, and Comrade Yang Xiaotao personally made the core part of the engine..."

Standing in front of the memorial hall, Liu Lixue explained the engines on display nearby.

In front of the engine, there is a sign with a simple design drawing of the eight-cylinder diesel engine and related data.

In addition, there are newspaper reports, photos, and the names of the R&D designers from the time.

"The eight-cylinder diesel engines we are using now are already improved models, based on which we use more advanced machine tools and materials, as well as"

As Liu Lixue explained, the old man nodded from time to time, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"This engine, if I remember correctly, is the engine of a mole assault vehicle!"

The old man turned around and looked at Mr. Huang and asked.

"Yes, Commander, that's the engine used in the Mole Assault Vehicle."

"This assault has brought us a big surprise. Now, with these orders, we are able to support many important research projects."

"Not only the Mole assault vehicle, but also our two types of Kuiniu armored vehicles and a variety of trucks use this engine."

Mr. Huang said it without thinking, with a hint of pride in his expression.

"But the ones we use now are improved models, and the ones we export are still the prototype machines."

"Good things should naturally be kept for yourself."

“Is there a big difference?”

The old man was curious. Mr. Huang thought about it and knew some general changes, but he had no specific data.

So he looked at Liu Lixue.

Liu Lixue shook her head nervously. How could a propaganda broadcaster like her know such a thing?

Mr. Huang had no choice. He looked around and saw that all the leaders of the machinery factory had been arranged to go out to help, and they were accompanied by a few researchers. When it came to this, they didn't know as much as Liu Lixue.

"Chief!"

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao's voice came from the corner and everyone was stunned.

They didn't expect to meet Yang Xiaotao here at this time.

What was even more unexpected was that this guy seemed to be seeking refuge. He didn't forget to look back when he came here, as if he was afraid of being followed.

Seeing this, the old man and Mr. Huang all laughed.

"Hey, the hero from our machinery factory is here."

"Everyone is welcome."

Mr. Xia said this jokingly and clapped his hands.

The people around also smiled and applauded.

Everyone guessed why Yang Xiaotao was like this. That was tens of thousands of people.

Having said that, it's amazing that this guy was able to rush out.

Several people were laughing, and Yang Xiaotao quickly reached out to stop them, while also showing a bitter smile.

"Commander, if possible, I really don't want to be a hero!"

These words are definitely what Yang Xiaotao is thinking.

"Compared to being a hero who is watched every day and stared at every moment when walking, I would rather do whatever I want in the back."

"Besides, this isn't just my fault. Everyone in the machinery factory is involved..."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the old man couldn't help laughing.

Tang Mingyue knew what he was thinking after hearing it, and that this guy was speaking from the heart.

As for Zhu Ziqing and Wang Guangmei, although they had not known Yang Xiaotao for a long time, they knew that Yang Xiaotao was definitely a man of temperament.

Not to mention Teacher Yuan, he is his confidant.

In his eyes, Yang Xiaotao is a person who does not seek fame or fortune.

Otherwise, the success of hybrid rice, in addition to their efforts, is also inseparable from Yang Xiaotao's consistent attention.

But Yang Xiaotao never asked for anything.

Old Xia's eyelids twitched. This brat really dares to say anything!
Boss Huang on the side frowned, "You bastard, stop saying such things next time."

"So many people envy me, but you are the one saying such sad things."

"I'm telling you, since you know someone will be watching you from now on, then from today on, be serious."

"Did you hear me."

As he said this, he glanced at the old man next to him, fearing that he would upset him.

Yang Xiaotao was scolded so much that he lowered his head and dared not refute.

Hearing what Mr. Huang said, he nodded in agreement.

I felt sad that hard days were coming.

Should I wear a hood when I go out on the street in the future?

An old man standing by looked at Yang Xiaotao's expression and understood that he was making his attitude clear to reassure those who were concerned.

This kid! He is young, but he has a lot of ideas!

But the old man was not surprised, because in his opinion, Yang Xiaotao had read so many books, it was impossible for him not to understand these.

The smarter a person is, the more clearly he will see what to do and what not to touch.

The old man waved his hand, and Mr. Huang glanced at Yang Xiaotao again, then stepped aside.

"It's just a coincidence that you're here. I have a question here. Please tell me about it."

The old man called Yang Xiaotao over.

Yang Xiaotao hurried over to the old man, and after understanding the situation, he said, "Commander, the cost of materials used in this new engine is 10% higher than that of the prototype, which directly increases its service life by one third."

“In addition, weight is reduced by one-fifth, space utilization is improved, and fuel consumption is increased by one-sixth to one thousand liters.”

"The most important thing is that the fuel consumption has been reduced from 200 liters per 100 kilometers to 180 liters. The maximum speed has also been improved. The original maximum speed was 110 kilometers per hour, and now after testing it can reach 125 kilometers per hour."

With Yang Xiaotao's introduction, everyone became more familiar with the eight-cylinder diesel engine.

Especially after hearing that the improved model was so advanced, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of pride.

“How many units do you make every day now?”

The old man asked again.

"We can make between 50 and 80 pieces a day, depending on whether the spare parts can be supplied in time."

"Of course, this is under normal circumstances. If necessary, the entire factory can be mobilized and production can be tripled."

"These engines will be sent to various places, and of course some will go into the workshop to assemble the Kuiniu II armored vehicle."

As Yang Xiaotao continued to speak, the old man nodded from time to time, looking very satisfied.

"The current Kuiniu II armored vehicle is not only equipped with a better engine, but also has the reactive armor we developed."

"Reactive armor? I think I heard Xiaolong talk about this."

The old man turned around and saw Tong Xiaolong and Tang Mingyue standing together, nodding and smiling, "Commander, this reactive armor was made by the machinery factory and is now used on tanks."

"Yes, this reactive armor is simply..."

Yang Xiaotao explained on the side.

The old man nodded with satisfaction.

"In addition, a new type of infrared night vision device has also been equipped. After we sent it for inspection, the response was very good."

Yang Xiaotao continued speaking, and the old man continued to nod.

Everyone also walked forward.

"Did you design this engine?"

"Tell me why you want to design?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao immediately raised his head and chest, "Commander, the original intention of the engine I designed was to solve the domestic engine problem."

"We are already lagging behind other countries in this area. Even many car manufacturers use imported engines. If we are cut off from supply, it will be a choke point for us. We cannot do this."

"So I'm going to design my own engine, and we're going to have our own engine."

"After some improvements, we started with the original single-cylinder diesel engine and accumulated experience bit by bit, and finally made this engine."

"During this process, our machinery factory has acquired the ability to produce engines. To be frank, even if the supply is really cut off one day, our machinery factory can still hold up half the sky."

Yang Xiaotao expressed his original intention and was full of confidence.

Moreover, these words encouraged everyone present.

Then Yang Xiaotao talked about some problems encountered in the design and how he solved them.

The old man was very interested in this, especially in the design, and always asked about the meaning of the relevant designs. Yang Xiaotao also patiently explained them.

After Yang Xiaotao finished explaining, the old man looked back at the long corridor he had walked from far to near, and couldn't help but sigh.

"From the steam engine over there, to the one-cylinder for the tractor, then the two-cylinder, then the eight-cylinder over there, and finally these big guys."

The old man pointed at them one by one, and finally looked at everyone with a serious expression.

"From this road, I got a fact."

"That is, innovation can strengthen a country!"
