Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2111: The Dream of Flying
After a long while, they calmed down, looked at each other, and wiped their tears with a smile.

In an instant, everyone seemed to come alive again, and their faces became more lively.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao standing by, Wang Xushan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Chief Designer Yang, we, we are so happy. We are sorry to have embarrassed you and the chief!"

"You don't know, we are so happy. We have been waiting for this day for a long time!"

The people below looked at Yang Xiaotao and the others with grateful expressions.

For the first time, Yang Xiaotao felt the feeling of being needed.

Wang Xushan then introduced, "Let me introduce it to you."

Then he started introducing the person at the edge, "This is Hu Feng, he used to be the person in charge of the overall design of the aircraft fuselage."

Hu Feng's face turned serious after hearing this. "Hello, Chief Designer Yang."

Yang Xiaotao stood in awe, "Hello, Comrade Hu Feng."

Holding the other person's rough and skinny hand, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help feeling emotional.

He thought that these people must be of some importance, but he never imagined that this skinny old man was actually the designer of the aircraft fuselage.

Although he didn't understand the manufacturing process of airplanes, he still had the necessary common sense.

The fuselage of an airplane not only involves the overall layout and balance, but also the proper arrangement of various systems, especially the weapon system.

If you can't hold down the weapon, you'll be a target even if you fly into the sky.

He looked at Hu Feng seriously and remembered the old saying again: don't judge a book by its cover.

"This is Wang Li, the director of the wing design department. He knows a lot about things like swept wings and delta wings."

"Hello, Mr. Yang."

An old man wearing patched rags stepped forward respectfully with a loud voice.

Just by looking at the black mud under his fingernails and the sawdust on his cuffs, Yang Xiaotao was sure that this man's second job was not an easy one.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao will not take this lightly.

On the contrary, people who are able to humble themselves for their families are more worthy of admiration.

Everyone has experienced hard times, and everyone has been forced to do something!

Besides, airplane wings cannot be taken lightly, especially with the advent of jet engines. If there is a problem with the design, not only will the aircraft fail to reach the designed speed, it may even disintegrate in the air.

Wu Zhe mentioned this point many times when we were chatting, and also talked about some research and development cases abroad.

"Hello, Comrade Wang Li!"

Yang Xiaotao enthusiastically extended his right hand, and Wang Li bent down and held it with both hands.

"Thank you, leader! Thank you, leader!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't say much, just patted his hands.

"This is Li Tianxiang, the director of the engine nacelle."

He was also an old man, but his expression was rather dull, his words were brief, and there was a hint of distance in his voice.

But Yang Xiaotao didn't care.

"This is Zhou Lihao, this is Sun Guoli, they are both responsible for the tail wing."

The two men were well-behaved, spoke politely and had a friendly attitude.

"The last one is Qin Ming, who is responsible for the landing gear and braking system!"

"Hello, Mr. Yang. My name is Qin Ming, and I have the same temper as the Thunderbolt in Water Margin."

"I have been researching braking for more than ten years..."

Qin Ming spoke in a casual manner and also talked about his abilities, which seemed very unique.

Yang Xiaotao felt that this person was quite direct. Looking at other people's reactions, he knew that this was his true nature and he couldn't pretend.

Wang Xushan introduced them one by one, and Yang Xiaotao's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Isn’t this the talent they need?
Although I am a bit old, it takes time for everyone in this line of work to experience the world.

Finally, Yang Xiaotao looked at Wang Xushan and asked curiously, "Director Wang, what do you do?"

Wang Xushan scratched his head, and Qin Ming beside him said with a smile, "The factory director first studied the overall structure and aerodynamics, and later studied the engine."

Yang Xiaotao was in awe.

You have to know that these days there are very few people in China who can get exposure to aeromechanics.

Previously, he had thought that if there was really no one available, he would go to the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building to take advantage of the situation.

Since I've helped so much, I should at least give myself some interest!
Now, I have gained something here.

At least I don’t have to start from scratch.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao said happily, "It seems that each of you comrades has your own abilities."

"Now I understand why the chief specially arranged for you to help us. This is simply adding wings to a tiger and icing on the cake!"

Yang Xiaotao laughed loudly, and everyone felt warmed when they heard this.

At the very least, Yang Xiaotao's words told them that the leader still remembered them.

"Okay, now, I'm going to announce the order from my superiors."

Everyone immediately became serious and behaved as well-behaved as primary school students.

"After approval from the superiors, the Red Star Machinery Factory..."

"I am Yang Xiaotao, the technical director of the aircraft research team at the Red Star Machinery Plant."

"From now on, you will be members of the special task force design team."

"From now on, you will be workers of the Red Star Machinery Factory."

Papapa

Wang Xushan immediately applauded, and others also applauded.

Compared to before, they were in a more relaxed mood at this moment.

Being able to become a worker in a machinery factory is certainly a cause for celebration, but being able to engage in aircraft research, which they love and enjoy, is what makes them truly happy. "Chief Designer Yang, thank you and the superiors for giving us this opportunity."

Yang Xiaotao shook his head. "That's too much. We need your cooperation and we need you to continue to work hard and shine."

Wang Xushan stepped forward again and shook Yang Xiaotao's hand, and said excitedly, "We will cooperate. We will definitely cooperate."

"As long as you let us design the aircraft and as long as you trust us, we will do it even if we don't get paid."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and shook his head, "No, if we don't ask for money, that would be exploitation. We can't make this mistake."

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this, but they were full of hope for the road ahead.

After the matter was explained clearly, Wang Xushan and the other seven felt relieved.

After everyone met, the others continued to help unload the car, after all, they brought a lot of things this time.

Yang Xiaotao and the others did not expect that there were only seven people here.

But since the things have been delivered, there is no reason to take them back.

In the future, the third electromechanical processing plant will be affiliated to the Red Star Machinery Factory, and its nature will be the same as that of the chemical plant and machine repair plant.

However, it is not easy to make use of this factory at the moment.

At the very least there are no people, no machines, and even the houses have to be rebuilt.

No wonder such a large area has no one using the factories in the old city.

Moreover, Yang Xiaotao has not yet thought through the future plans for the electromechanical processing plant.

If it doesn't work, just occupy the land.

Anyway, this is the fifth ring, it’s not a loss!
After a few people left, Yang Xiaotao simply started chatting with Wang Xushan in the yard.

Yang Xiaotao took out two cigarettes from his pocket. Wang Xushan quickly wiped his butt with his right hand before carefully taking the cigarettes.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao took out his lighter and lit it.

"Director Wang!"

"Mr. Yang!"

"I'm sorry to say that, but I can see that you've had a hard time these years!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Wang Xushan's hand holding the cigarette trembled, his eyelids twitched, and finally he sighed, "No matter how bitter it is, at least you can be regarded as a human being!"

As soon as Yang Xiaotao heard this, he knew that they all had stories, so he asked again, "Then why are you still here?"

Wang Xushan did not answer Yang Xiaotao's question, but looked at Yang Xiaotao, "Boss Yang, I know a lot about you. There are many reports about you in the newspapers and on the loudspeakers."

"Then why do you do this?"

Yang Xiaotao said without thinking, "Because I want to do it, to make the country better and the people live better!"

Wang Xushan nodded. "So, to let the people live a good life, this is your dream, right?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "You can say that."

"Then my answer is very simple!"

Wang Xushan unbuttoned the top button, revealing the slightly yellowish-white shirt underneath. It was then that Yang Xiaotao realized that he had been wearing only single clothing.

"We old guys have seen too many tragic things when we were young. When we grew up, we were determined to serve our country and change the world!"

"We are able to come together just for a dream."

"A dream of having our own planes flying over our country."

"A Dream of Flying"

Wang Xushan's eyes were filled with memories and past aspirations.

After a moment, he inhaled the last bit of smoke into his lungs and exhaled, "It's just that we have been dreaming for more than 30 years, and it has never come true."

After carefully extinguishing the cigarette, Wang Xushan looked up at Yang Xiaotao and said, "Boss Yang, I'm not afraid of you making fun of me. In a few years, we will all be gone!"

"We are really scared. We are really scared that we will meet our ancestors and fail to live up to their expectations. We will be too embarrassed to give an explanation!"

Yang Xiaotao listened with a serious expression, "Don't worry, we will realize our dream together this time."

Wang Xushan nodded solemnly, "I believe you!"

In the front yard, the things on the car were quickly moved, and everyone came to the yard, panting, and they were all very excited, as if it was New Year's Day.

"Chief, Mr. Yang."

"Let's not stay outside anymore, come in quickly."

Wang Xushan greeted everyone, but Yang Xiaotao glanced at Old Qin, and the two of them walked into the house.

"My two leaders, the conditions here are very simple. We..."

Wang Xushan saw that there was not even a place to drink water, and everyone's faces were filled with embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter. It's simple now, but it will get better in the future."

Yang Xiaotao said comforting words and found a stool to sit down.

Several people found a place to sit, looked at each other and waited for Yang Xiaotao to speak.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao asked the doubts in his heart.

"Director Wang, I want to know what happened in our Third Mechanical and Electrical Factory?"

"As we know, we shouldn't be the only ones here!"

After the words were spoken, everyone around fell silent.

Old Qin narrowed his eyes and glanced at the few people with a serious expression.

If there really is a problem, then these people should just stay here.

There are so many things, it’s quite considerate.

We can't let a nest of rats ruin everything.

Looking at the expressions of several people, Yang Xiaotao could guess some things, but he was still not sure. He just still had hope in his heart.
