Chapter 2080: Yang Xiaotao, the Greedy Person
In the following days, Yang Xiaotao and Qin Lao went to the experimental site whenever they had time.

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning also came to check on the progress every now and then.

As for the people from the Third Ministry of Machine Building, Mr. Zhang and Director Zheng were there every day and never missed a day.

As the inspection continued, some problems were exposed.

Of course, it was engine number one that exposed the problems.

This made Mr. Zhang and the other man's expressions become solemn.

If they can't even pass the initial review, then aren't they even worse than the logistics department?
Fortunately, Wu Zhe understood the difference and mentioned the improvement of the inspection standards, which made Mr. Zhang feel better.

Fortunately, any problems that arise can be solved quickly.

But even so, the excellence of Engine No. 2 is still highlighted.

The increase in standards made it difficult for the No. 1 engine.

On the contrary, number two appears to have more leeway.

Comparing the two, the difference is obvious.

The last Sunday of 1966 was also Christmas Day in the West and the sixteenth day of the experimental test.

After Yang Xiaotao finished his business at the machinery factory, he was brought here by Mr. Qin.

So many days have passed, and the results are almost there.

When the two arrived at the experimental area, they saw two engines undergoing operational tests.

According to Wu Zhe's requirements, the aircraft engine must be able to operate continuously, so this test must continue for two hundred hours.

There can't be any problems in the middle.

This test alone will take more than ten days.

There is plenty of time, but it consumes a lot of fuel.

"Old Zhang, you guys are here pretty early."

"How's it going? Your engine is still running."

When Mr. Qin saw Mr. Zhang, he went up to greet him as usual.

This has become a way for the two to greet each other.

Of course, in Yang Xiaotao's opinion, this was more of Mr. Qin's wishful thinking, because Mr. Zhang didn't even pay any attention to him.

They were very kind to Yang Xiaotao, especially when the inspection reached the final stage. Yang Xiaotao clearly felt the kindness of the people in the Third Ministry of Machine Building towards him.

This was beyond his expectations.

I originally thought that as a 'colleague' I was stealing other people's business, I would be looked down upon, but in fact, they welcomed me from the bottom of their hearts, which made me feel like I was judging others by my own standards.

After saying hello, Yang Xiaotao came to Wu Zhe to ask about the situation.

Old Qin rolled his eyes and came closer to Old Zhang, "Old Zhang, what do you think of this engine compared to yours?"

"Although the final result has not yet been released, I think this engine is definitely better than yours."

"It's a pity. If such a good engine is not selected, it will be such a pity."

Mr. Qin looked so pitiful at the end that Director Zheng beside him couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

He hurried to the side and watched everyone checking.

Elder Zhang was unmoved. He looked at Elder Qin coldly, then crossed his arms over his chest and said calmly, "If we fail and he succeeds, then we'll do as he does."

"I think the aircraft factory will make a choice."

"If everything is successful, I will also apply to my superiors to develop new aircraft."

Zhang Lao's face was serious, "Such a good engine should not be buried."

Upon hearing what Mr. Zhang said, Mr. Qin's expression immediately changed.

"Old Zhang, that's a good point."

"To tell you the truth, I..."

Just as Mr. Qin was about to talk about the aircraft research they were preparing with the machinery factory, Mr. Zhang raised his hand to interrupt and said, "I know everything about your relationship with the machinery factory."

"Old Huang told me."

Old Qin was stunned, then snorted coldly, "This Old Huang, whoever says so."

"No, how did Lao Huang know?"

The response was a sneer from Mr. Zhang.

Old Qin immediately understood and was speechless about Yang Xiaotao.

After all, we are partners. Can't we be honest with each other?

"Old Zhang, since you already know everything, I will ask you one question."

"Let's get involved or not."

Mr. Qin made his attitude clear directly.

Designing an airplane is no small matter.

During this period, he contacted many people and learned about the situations of many factories. The design, research and development, and final production and assembly of an aircraft require the cooperation of hundreds or even thousands of factories.

Just like the Shengjing aircraft factory, although it is just a name, there are no less than a hundred downstream factories providing services to them.

This was designed based on the Alliance's aircraft.

If you want to develop an aircraft completely independently, you not only need a good design, but you also need support from below.

After these days of understanding, he felt that it would be difficult to accomplish it relying only on the logistics department and the machinery factory.

If it was something else, he definitely wouldn't want to share it with others.

But this kind of big task was almost as difficult as the mushroom egg, and it was definitely not something they could accomplish.

Doing things beyond your ability is overestimating your own abilities.

So he planned to bring in the Third Ministry of Machine Building. As for the First Ministry of Machine Building, that was the backup force of the machinery factory. Needless to say, Lao Huang and the others would definitely help.

In this way, by combining the First Ministry of Machine Building, the Third Ministry of Machine Building and their logistics departments, the three ministries will be fully capable of supporting the research of the machinery factory.

When Mr. Zhang heard what Mr. Qin said, he was moved because Yang Xiaotao was the one who took the lead in this matter.

Moreover, although Wu Zhe has not released specific data these days, judging from the standard changes, the engine of the machinery factory is obviously more powerful.

This fully demonstrates Yang Xiaotao's personal ability.

Just as Mr. Huang said when they chatted, there is nothing Yang Xiaotao wants to do that he cannot accomplish.

Even if you can't do it now, you can do it in the future.

This is the conclusion drawn after many incidents.

If Yang Xiaotao really goes all out, their Third Ministry of Machine Building might consider it.

"Let's check the situation first."

Mr. Zhang did not agree immediately, but in Mr. Qin's opinion, the way he thought about it showed that he was moved.

"Okay, we'll talk about it then."

The two of them looked towards the distance again.

Yang Xiaotao came close to Wu Zhe, and Director Zheng behind him also came over to look at the experimental data table.

Wu Zhe did not hide anything from the two of them.

Looking at the experimental data table, Yang Xiaotao looked calm.

Director Zhang looked at it and shook his head helplessly, but his expression was still normal.

Because these experimental data show that the engines of their Third Ministry of Machine Building have met the requirements and passed.

If this running test also passes, then the final result will definitely be fine.

"Director Wu, when will this inspection be completed?"

Director Zheng asked impatiently. Wu Zhe looked at his watch and said, "If nothing goes wrong, it will be over by 3 o'clock this afternoon."

"Then, if there are no problems, then is our engine qualified?"

Director Zheng made some progress. Wu Zhe nodded and said, "Yes, if there are no problems, then it is qualified."

Director Zheng took a deep breath and was about to smile, but then he saw Yang Xiaotao's calm face and quickly regained his composure.

Now it is clear no matter how you look at it, the engines of the machinery factory are better than theirs.

just
Director Zheng didn't think any more about it.

He knew that his superiors would not let such a good engine gather dust in the warehouse.

After getting the accurate answer from Wu Zhe, Director Zheng walked back and reported the situation to Mr. Zhang.

When Yang Xiaotao made sure that there was no problem with the engine, he also came over and sat down.

"is that OK."

Old Qin took out a box of Daqianmen cigarettes and pulled out two. Yang Xiaotao took them and took out the ashtray to light them for the two of them. "No problem."

"I guess the report will come out this afternoon."

Old Qin nodded, "I guess it was in the past two days."

"It seems that the experimental standards have been raised a lot this time. Old Zhang and his team have made great progress by being able to persist until now."

With a slight emotion, Yang Xiaotao looked at the figure in the experimental field.

"Old Qin, who is this Director Wu Zhe?"

Watching Wu Zhe inspect the engine and the communication over the past few days, some of the things I didn't understand suddenly became clear to me.

Yang Xiaotao could feel that this man's professional knowledge was very strong.

For some problems, he only relied on the design drawings and the knowledge provided by the system to understand, but when it came to Wu Zhe, he was not only able to understand them thoroughly, but he could even draw inferences from one example and give more suggestions.

Come to think of it, if an ordinary person doesn’t understand the engine, how can he test it?

When Old Qin heard what Yang Xiaotao said, he stretched his buttocks and whispered, "This is the technical director of Shengjing Aircraft Factory. He has studied in the Alliance and East Germany."

"It is said that the aircraft designed this time was made by him and his team."

"This is talent."

When Old Qin saw the light in Yang Xiaotao's eyes after he said this, he immediately understood, "You kid, do you have any ideas?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately and admitted that his heart was moved at this moment.

If for no other reason than the development of aircraft that match the engines and the improvement of subsequent engine models, we need such talents.

You have to know that the current engine is only comparable to the alliance's products in the next ten years, but what about in another twenty years?
You can't use the engine of the second-generation aircraft to assemble the third-generation aircraft.

So this engine is just the beginning, and someone needs to continue researching it.

Yang Xiaotao had never met such a talent before.

But over the past few days, through discussing engines, aircraft development ideas, and some overseas situations, he felt that Wu Zhe was definitely a talent in this area.

This is the talent he needs.

"Lao Qin, if you can get him here, will our plane be safe?"

Yang Xiaotao said calmly, and Old Qin rolled his eyes. "If you poach him, those old men in Shengjing will come and fight you to death."

"Not that much."

"Why not? Let me tell you, aircraft manufacturing is directly managed by the higher-ups. We have no control over it. Do you think they will watch you poach people?"

Old Qin looked like he was ready to give up the idea, but Yang Xiaotao didn't care. "What do you mean by poaching? This is called revolutionary friendship."

"We are all working for the revolution and construction, and we should consider the collective interests. Their 'selfish' behavior is unacceptable."

"Besides, our machinery factory is also directly managed. We are all one family after all."

Yang Xiaotao spoke with great righteousness, but Old Qin sneered when he heard it.

When it comes to selfishness, who can compare to your machinery factory?

With a lot of talented people and good things, it's hard for others to get them.

But I just said this in my heart.
