Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2116 Higher, Faster, Stronger
"Boss Yang, we are here."

Before the leader Wang Xushan opened his mouth, Qin Ming started shouting from behind.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the people walking in and immediately felt a little strange.

The seven people who came in were all wearing clean clothes. Where were the tattered clothes they wore yesterday?

Looking at his face again, it was obvious that he had been washed and groomed. All that was left on his face were wrinkles after he had shaved his beard.

Even their hair is cut in the same style.

Yang Xiaotao suspected that this was probably because they wanted to use a set of pictures for convenience and ease, so they just pushed it.

And the fact is just as Yang Xiaotao thought, several people came to the machinery factory today to give it a good start.

Last night, after the few of them took the things home, they told the story again. The reactions of their family members were similar to that of Wang Xushan's family.

Finally, several people came to the factory at the same time. The difference was that this time Wang Xushan brought the stove from his home and a lunch box of dumplings.

Others also came over one after another, some bringing food, some bringing wine!

A group of people lit a fire, gathered around the stove, eating, talking and laughing.

The requirements were then unified.

It's a bit late now.

"It came just in time!"

Yang Xiaotao came forward to greet him, and at the same time praised him in his heart, saying that it is true that clothes make the man.

Yesterday, these guys looked like old men picking up garbage, but today they look like scholars after dressing up.

But think about it, he has studied abroad and gained foreign education. At least in this aspect, Yang Xiaotao, who has lived two lives, cannot achieve that!

After hearing this, several people came in and saw Wu Zhe sitting nearby.

Although Wang Xushan and the others didn't know each other, they nodded politely.

Yang Xiaotao came to the middle and immediately said, "Come on, let me introduce it to everyone!"

Yang Xiaotao said as he looked at Wu Zhe, "This is Director Wu Zhe, I specially invited you from Shengjing."

"He is also a member of our special team."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Wang Xushan and others all looked serious.

When talking about the special task force yesterday, Yang Xiaotao told them that the special task force would not only consist of them, but also experts from other places would join.

If they were still young, there would definitely be a score to be won.

Even if he doesn't say anything on the surface, he must be feeling a lot of energy inside.

But now.
After these years of settling down and being tempered by the ways of the world, they no longer have the impulse they once had.

Now, apart from their undiminished passion for aircraft design, nothing else matters to them.

"Hello, Director Wu!"

Wang Xushan took the initiative to say hello with a friendly attitude.

Wu Zhe looked at the elderly faces of the people and did not dare to be arrogant. He smiled and nodded, "Hello!"

Yang Xiaotao took the opportunity to say, "This is Director Wang Xushan of the Third Electromechanical Processing Plant!"

"Of course, you are now also a member of our special team!"

"These people behind are all our people!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished his introduction, he asked everyone to sit down and discuss in detail.

Everyone sat aside, and Yang Xiaotao gave a general account of the situation on both sides.

During the period, Wu Zhe also described his current main work.

As a representative, Wang Xushan explained the situation of several people.

Wu Zhe didn't expect that the seven people in front of him were all overseas students.

Especially the leader who had studied at the University of Oregon, even if it was only for a short year, it was still a remarkable achievement.

You know, that's a famous aviation school in the United States.

As for the later internship at Wright Corporation, it was an even more dazzling resume.

The other six were not bad either. Apart from anything else, their fluent English made many people present ashamed.

Of course, when Wu Zhe was surprised by Wang Xushan and others, Wang Xushan also attached great importance to Wu Zhe.

This one also came back from the alliance.

More importantly, they have been fighting on the front lines.

Combining theory with experience, we have accomplished a lot over the years.

This is something they can't compare to.

Both parties value each other, which is the best outcome for Yang Xiaotao.

If a situation really arises where everyone is displeased, then Yang Xiaotao will have to take some measures.

What he wants is a team that works together as one, not experts who sabotage each other and engage in internal strife.

At the moment, it seems that the character of both parties is pretty good, so there is no need to worry about this issue.

After the two sides got to know each other, they began to talk about the mission.

At this time, when it comes to the field of aircraft research, everyone still has their own ideas.

This was also within Yang Xiaotao's expectations.

After all, a country that learns from the United States takes a sophisticated approach.

A master-disciple alliance, taking a rough and practical approach.

It would be strange if both parties could pee together.

But this is what Yang Xiaotao wants.

Practice has proved that if you just follow others, you will never be able to surpass them!
With mutual confirmation, Yang Xiaotao has decided to take advantage of others' strengths and make up for one's own weaknesses, while also being rough yet detailed.

But Yang Xiaotao will not interfere at the moment. For some things, competition will only bring pressure.

Just like a single-cylinder diesel engine, the spark can only be ignited when there is pressure.

"Okay, the meeting room is ready, let's go meet everyone. Let's get to know each other!"

When Yang Xiaotao saw Lou Xiao'e come in, he knew that everything was arranged, so he stood up and said.

Several people nodded and followed Yang Xiaotao to the meeting room.

Yang Xiaotao took the lead and walked in, and everyone sat down one after another.

Yang Xiaotao didn't sit down either, but just stood in front and looked at the nearly twenty people in the audience.

"Comrades, leaders, on behalf of the Red Star Machinery Factory, I would like to thank you all for coming here. Thank you all for taking the trouble to come here for the ideals in your hearts."

Papapa

"Don't worry, everyone. In the machine factory, all the things in life are not a problem. There is only one thing you need to do."

"Make this plane!"

"Do you have any confidence!"

"Have!"

Papapa

Yang Xiaotao was the first to applaud, followed by enthusiastic applause from the crowd.

Having said that, everyone understood that the machinery factory provided food and accommodation, but did not support idlers. They would not tolerate cheating or playing tricks.

"We have comrades from Shengjing Aircraft Factory and Sijiucheng Electromechanical Processing Plant, and in the future there will be comrades from other places."

This is naturally the person that Vice President Cheng promised to give it to.

As for the helicopter engine, Yang Xiaotao felt that he could do it alone.

Letting others do it is a waste of time and manpower.

On the contrary, the people Yang Xiaotao wants this time are all talents involved in helicopter research and development.

Although the major may not be suitable, this is not a problem at all.

I haven’t seen many experts who, after becoming successful, say that what they started out researching was not their profession.

Aren’t they all forced out by the tasks assigned by their superiors?
Looking at everyone, Yang Xiaotao spoke again, "I know that you have never worked together before, and there may be disagreements for some reasons."

“There may be two different methods for one part or one screw!”

At this point, Wang Xushan and Wu Zhe below nodded at the same time.

They had already noticed this trend in the communication just now.

"It's okay, it's normal!"

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand. "When we were designing the armored vehicle, people often raised different opinions, and then we discussed and verified them, and finally decided on the result."

“We are not afraid of having opinions or differences.”

"I also encourage innovation. But innovation means change, and change must collide with the past!"

"That's what we mean when ideas collide and sparks fly!"

Yang Xiaotao said as he looked at everyone, "So, with me, any opinions can be raised, debated, and questioned!"

"Yes, there is a prerequisite!"

Yang Xiaotao raised his voice and scanned the audience.

Everyone couldn't help but become serious.

The person in front of them was Yang Xiaotao, the chief designer of the Red Star Machinery Factory and the helmsman of their aircraft research team.

"Then, what we have to do is a major matter concerning the future of the country!"

"What we want to build is a plane that belongs to China!"

"This is our mission!"

Papapa

Everyone's eyes became hot again.

No matter where they come from, no matter what they insisted on in the past, now that they are sitting in this room, it means that they are one of us.

They will have a common goal to complete their mission.

At this moment, Wang Xushan suddenly turned his head to look at Wu Zhe beside him, and Wu Zhe also looked over at this moment.

The two looked at each other and then laughed.

Be harmonious but not uniform, seek common ground while reserving differences.

Perhaps this is what Yang Xiaotao meant.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, everyone began to communicate.

Yang Xiaotao walked to a table nearby and took out an unopened box of Hardman from his pocket.

Wang Xushan and Wu Zhe came over, lit their cigarettes, and then the cigarette box was passed somewhere unknown. Yang Xiaotao didn't care.

"Boss Yang, what direction do you have for this plane?"

Wang Xushan asked first, and Wu Zhe nodded and listened.

Yang Xiaotao blew out the smoke with two puffs of air, and then said seriously, "Do you know what happened in Shanghai?"

Wang Xushan shook his head. He had been an ordinary citizen these years, struggling to make a living. He had no idea about such things without the exact channels.

Wu Zhe, on the other hand, looked unnatural for a moment, and it was obvious that he understood what had happened.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao briefly explained the matter.

"Not long ago..."

As Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the two men's expressions were surprisingly consistent.

"You mean, the 104 aircraft came here, circled twice, and then ran away?"

Wang Xushan asked in surprise, and then an angry look appeared on his face.

As for Wu Zhe, he clenched his fists, his face full of anger.

Because the aircraft that was about to take off and intercept was designed and manufactured by their Shengjing Aircraft Factory.

It can be seen that their aircraft are far behind.

"Yes, to be precise, we were fooled by them the whole time. Our planes couldn't keep up with the speed, and they hid in the sky. We could only worry about it. We sent a group of fighter jets in front and behind, but we couldn't do anything about it."

"Missiles were fired one after another, and in the end they all turned into fireworks in the sky!"

"In the end, they probably ran out of gas, so they left two eggs behind and went home!"

With every word Yang Xiaotao spoke, the expressions of the two men became more unhappy.

Until the last word was finished, the two of them fell silent on the spot.

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten!"

"In the past, we had no choice but to swallow our tears and blood!"

"But we can't stand it now!"

The two men raised their heads and looked at Yang Xiaotao.

"After this incident, the impact on all aspects was not small!"

"The superiors have formulated a number of strategies to prevent this from happening!"

"Our aircraft task force is one of them!"

The two understood, so Wu Zhe spoke up, "I mentioned it when I was in Shengjing."

Wang Xushan looked over and Wu Zhe nodded, "The Bluebird engine we are using now, together with the matching airframe, is designed to reach a speed of Mach 2, but it is still far from meeting the requirements of our superiors and achieving our goals."

"After all, the Type 104 used by the other party is a product from many years ago. Not only is the technology mature, but it has also been tested. It is hard to say that there will be no subsequent improved models!"

"The aircraft we have developed may be able to cope with the current situation, but in the long run, we will still lag behind."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "So, what we have to do is not only to surpass the current situation, but also to distance ourselves from them."

Wang Xushan nodded seriously, but at the same time he felt a lot of pressure on his shoulders!
Sure enough, working in a machinery factory is not an easy job.

"So my requirement for our aircraft development is this."

"Higher, faster, stronger!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the two of them stood up together.

"understand!"

"Higher, faster, stronger! Okay, let's do this!"

The two looked at each other and reached a tacit consensus.

As for other indicators, they must give way to this requirement.
