Chapter 2145 The Person Lying on the Cabin Door
buzz
At first, people didn’t think there was anything wrong with the continuous vibration sound of the machine, but after a long time, they couldn’t stand it.

There were people standing all around, in circles, and from time to time there were sounds of discussion and chatter.

Old Chen and Old Qin had already found a place to sit down and drink water. Only Old Zhou stood aside with his sleeves rolled up and his hands on his hips. The smile on his face never stopped. He looked at the gas turbine as if he had seen a food coupon and wanted to pounce on it and put it in his pocket.

Yang Xiaotao looked at it from a distance for a while, then scanned it with his glasses. After making sure there was no problem, he asked the person in charge of observation to record it. He then found a radiator to sit down and stared blankly.

I have been getting up early and going to bed late these days, and when I go home in the evening, there is always food left for me by Ran Qiuye.

So much so that there are fewer activities at night.

Thinking of his wife, Yang Xiaotao felt that he owed her too much.

It's almost the end of the first month of the lunar year, and I haven't had any communication with you. I feel so sorry.

You said you wanted a child, but with this kind of performance, how can you have one?

Yang Xiaotao reflected on his work in his heart. Now that the work was done, he felt relieved.

It can be fine.
Thinking about what to do next, Yang Xiaotao gradually felt his eyelids getting heavy.
The sounds around me are still clearly audible, but they cannot overcome the tiredness in my mind.

But why is this noisy sound getting smaller?

not far away.

When the first person found Yang Xiaotao sleeping on the ground, he immediately called out to his companion who was still shouting nearby.

Then he pointed in the direction of Yang Xiaotao, and his companion immediately shut up and nodded to remind the people around him.

Gradually, more and more people noticed Yang Xiaotao, and in an instant, everyone stopped talking.

Everyone has seen how hard we have worked these days.

If it weren't for Yang Xiaotao's guidance throughout the process, the gas turbine in front of us would still be a pile of steel.

"Boss Yang, I'm so tired."

Pang Guo was holding a notebook and speaking to Chen Bin beside him.

"Yeah, it's just because you're young and your body can handle it. If it were you or me, we would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago."

Pang Guo nodded, "It's not easy. Such a large machinery factory was built by Mr. Yang alone."

The people around nodded after hearing this.

It is amazing for ordinary people to do one thing well, but everything Yang Xiaotao does is amazing.

When Mr. Chen and Mr. Qin saw this scene, they looked at each other and then smiled.

This scene fully illustrates Yang Xiaotao's status in this machinery factory. Otherwise, how could he be so loved?

Elder Chen picked up the water cup and said with emotion, and Elder Qin also nodded.

"No matter how many times you shout slogans, all people hear is the sound."

“On the contrary, if you do something, people can see the reality.”

“This is what it means to win people’s hearts.”

"Dad, guess who I am?"

A pair of hands covered Yang Xiaotao's eyes. Yang Xiaotao put down his pen, then felt the flesh on his hands and said with a smile, "Dragon Boat Festival."

"wrong."

“Is that Miaomiao?”

"That's not right either!"

"Yueyue, Rongrong"

"No, no, Dad, don't you know who I am?"

When he heard the aggrieved voice, Yang Xiaotao realized that this voice was so unfamiliar.

And it was a boy's voice.

Who is this?
my son?
wrong!

Just as Yang Xiaotao reached out to grab the child behind him, a voice suddenly came from his ear, "Xiaotao, wake up."

"Wake up."

Yang Xiaotao, who was in a daze, suddenly heard someone calling him and quickly opened his eyes.

Then he saw a group of people standing around him, each of them with excited and high spirits.

There were also Old Chen and a few others smiling at him, and the one who woke him up was Old Zhou, who still had his hand on his shoulder.

When I looked again, the lights around me had been turned on, and through the window, it was already dark outside.

Yang Xiaotao quickly rubbed his eyes and stood up, smiling embarrassedly, "Commander, I slept for a while. It's already dark now."

Yang Xiaotao felt embarrassed and said to Chen Lao and the others, then he felt his hand being pulled, and then he saw Zhou Lai excitedly saying, "Xiaotao, thank you, thank you."

"On behalf of the Sixth Machinery Department, I thank you. I also want to thank you on behalf of all seafarers."

"You know, at this moment, at this moment, it has reached 20,000 kilowatts, 20,000 kilowatts."

"Any idea how much horsepower?"

"Twenty-seven or twenty-eight thousand!"

Zhou Lai was shaking Yang Xiaotao's arm and talking incessantly. His expression and facial features made the confused Yang Xiaotao stunned.

The people around him looked at him with admiration, and one could even see relief in Mr. Chen's eyes.

This, isn’t this just a nap? What on earth is going on?

Night falls.

In the experimental field, the buzzing sound continued and the surrounding lights were bright.

Although Yang Xiaotao was still a little confused, he could tell from the faces of the people around him that everyone was very satisfied with the effect of the gas turbine.

Otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

Especially after listening to General Zhou's account of the situation in Shanghai, Yang Xiaotao understood why they were so excited.

Although follow-up tests are still to come, from what Mr. Zhou said, we can tell that the other party is very satisfied with the power.

"Xiao Tao, thank you. Thank you."

Old Zhou held Yang Xiaotao's hand and never let go. Jiang Defu, who was standing by, also came over and put his hand on Yang Xiaotao's shoulder. With blurry eyes, he kept saying, "Having such an outstanding grandson like you, Old Jin should be content."

"Well done, well done."

The two men surrounded Yang Xiaotao and started praising him.

If they were not bad at speaking, they would have said "It is like the water of the Yellow River coming from the sky"

But as for the effect, Yang Xiaotao was very impressed by the kindness shown by the two. He responded to Mr. Zhou from time to time, and then talked to Jiang Defu about Comrade Lao Jin, looking very happy.

"Okay, okay, stop being so mushy here."

Old Qin couldn't bear to watch it anymore. It was just a gas turbine. When they first invented the turbojet engine, he didn't act so sentimentally.

Ok.

Did I act too calm at first?

Alas, I am still too proud.

It's easy to suffer losses this way.

Qin Lao finished his thoughts in an instant, and then walked over to him, "Come on, let's go eat first. It's almost nine o'clock. If we don't eat now, we won't be able to go home."

Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "If you can't go back, then don't go back. I'll just set up a bed here and sleep here." Jiang Defu also smiled and said, "I'll accompany you."

"Okay, let's prepare some wine and peanuts, right?"

As Elder Chen stepped forward and spoke, everyone laughed again.

"Comrades, let's go and have dinner."

"This is a celebratory drink. We have to drink it."

Old Qin talked things over on the side, and Old Chen nodded and led everyone to the cafeteria.

"Lao Liang, be careful."

Before leaving, Yang Xiaotao gave some instructions.

Liang Zuoxin nodded immediately.

The group left the experimental site and came to the small canteen. The logistics staff were placing food on the table. A large pot of boiled bones was placed in the middle. Oil was floating on the surface of the broth, and pork could be seen rolling in it.

There is also a white flour pancake and some chopped green onions on the side.

In addition, there are some pickles and cold dishes.

"Commander, it's not even the end of the first month of the lunar year yet, so it's considered a New Year's Eve dinner."

"This is our machinery factory's New Year's gift. We are entertaining several leaders this time. I hope they won't mind."

Yang Youning said on the side.

Elder Zhou immediately shook his head after seeing this, "How dare we despise this huge pot of soup?"

Elder Chen also smiled and said, "Alright, hurry up and take your seats so that the comrades can have some hot soup."

When Mr. Chen spoke, Yang Youning immediately became excited and invited everyone to take their seats.

Shen Rong, Chen Chonghan, Liu Daming and others took their seats one after another, while Yang Xiaotao sat with Chen Lao and others.

Those who accompanied him were also senior executives of the machinery factory.

Jiang Defu sat aside with excitement on his face, as if he had not yet come out of the excitement.

"Xiao Tao, I heard that you have another gas turbine ready to be produced?"

Before dinner, Jiang Defu couldn't help asking any more.

"Yes, Master Jiang!"

Yang Xiaotao picked up the wine bottle and filled it up for Mr. Qin and Mr. Zhou nearby. As for Mr. Chen, everyone knew that he didn't drink.

"There is another one that will be completed soon. It will probably be installed soon."

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's words, Jiang Defu immediately said to Mr. Zhou, "Mr. Zhou, you take this one to Shanghai, and the remaining one must be left to us in the north."

Mr. Zhou immediately shook his head and said, "No, I want both."

"The ship over there is still waiting to be refitted."

"Old Zhou, you are so dishonest. If I hadn't told you this, would you be able to sit here?"

"Over the years, you have sent all the good things to the south. It seems that we in the north are raised by our wives, and everything we have is just leftovers for you to eat."

Jiang Defu also had a straightforward temper and did not give Lao Zhou any face in front of Mr. Qin and the others.

Mr. Zhou also has no temper, or rather he has no temper towards Old Jiang. Besides, what Old Jiang said is not wrong. He has indeed been a little "biased" over the years, but there is nothing he can do about it. It is difficult for him as the head of the Sixth Ministry of Machine Building.

There is only so much of it, and if it is divided and shared equally, both will only become weaker.

We can only concentrate our advantages to fight back.

"Lao Jiang, this matter must first be handled in the south. I promise you that the next two units will be handed over to you."

"Old Zhou, don't try to fool me with this. That's how we got the shipbuilding funds last time, and the quota for students allocated to us the time before that, and the time before that."

"Old Jiang, listen to me."

Although the two were arguing there, everyone present could see that they were happy from the bottom of their hearts.

In the past, they didn't even have the opportunity to argue like this.

Chen Lao ignored him and picked up the bottle of wine in front of Yang Xiaotao. Yang Xiaotao took it and said, "Commander, you..."

"I'm happy today, so I can have a drink."

Old Qin laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid that people will smell it when you get home?"

Chen Lao said seriously, "It's okay, I'll just say it was Lao Qin who poured it on me."

Old Qin was speechless. He should have kept silent earlier.

Yang Xiaotao poured half a cup for Mr. Chen, and Mr. Chen nodded.

"Come, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their hard work and contribution to the revolution."

Old Chen raised his glass and stood up, and everyone stood up at the same time. Liu Daming and others not far away looked over excitedly.

"I believe everyone knows the significance of this gas turbine to the country. I hope everyone can continue to work hard and make more gas turbines."

"I am here, thank you all."

After Mr. Chen finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Seeing this, everyone drank the wine in their glasses.

Mr. Zhou and the other man on the side didn't bother to say more. They finished the drinks in their glasses. The others sat down, but Mr. Zhou stood up, took the bottle and poured himself a drink.

"Dear comrades from the Machinery Factory, I am Lao Zhou from the Sixth Machinery Department. Please feel free to call me Lao Zhou."

"Today I learned that our factory has produced a gas turbine. I was so upset."

Mr. Zhou held the wine glass, his face excited, and it took him a long time to calm down.

"Over the years, our water surface construction has been stagnant."

"Why? It's because our ship doesn't have a strong heart."

"Looking at the foreign ships coming in like dumplings, we are very anxious."

"Looking at those good heart machines abroad, how much horsepower this one has, how much power that one has, we envy them."

As Mr. Zhou spoke, Jiang Defu's eyes became moist.

"A few years ago, I led a research group out and boarded their big ship."

"You know what? At that time, it was Lao Jiang, it was him. He was lying at the door of the cabin, with his ear pressed against the door listening to the sounds inside, with an envious look on his face."

"Thinking about that scene now makes me sad~"

patter
Tears fell on the table.

Jiang Defu closed his eyes.

The people around were silent, and many of them clenched their fists.

"At that time, I was wondering when we could have an engine of our own."

"At that time, I was looking forward to having my own big ship, and then I could walk in with my people and proudly tell everyone that this is us and this is our heart."

Mr. Zhou wiped the tears from his face.

"You've said too much. You've said too much."

"This cup, I toast to you all."

Gulp, look up, tears rolling down.
