Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2148: Change the order of engines

“When will the engine be made?”

Mr. Wang's voice was calm, and even his face was calm, but Yang Xiaotao could sense that Mr. Wang was very serious about this.

Even more serious than before.

"Uncle Wang, why are you so anxious all of a sudden?"

Yang Xiaotao understood that the other party must be extremely anxious to come here since he had been waiting here for most of the day.

Otherwise, it doesn't matter if you wait one more day.

After hearing Yang Xiaotao's question, the calmness on Mr. Wang's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a hint of anxiety and helplessness.

After a moment of silence, Mr. Wang said, "The gas turbine was made by your factory, right?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded. Although it had not been reported in the country yet, the top leaders must be aware of it.

In particular, Mr. Zhou fulfilled his promise and started to deploy manpower the next day. Yesterday, ten master craftsmen came to the machinery factory.

It was Yang Xiaotao who personally took me to complete the factory entry procedures.

In other words, the number of master craftsmen in the machinery factory has now doubled.

Uh, far away.

Thinking of this, I am simply impressed by Mr. Zhou's generosity. At least compared to the person in front of me, he is much more generous.

Of course, this cannot be discussed.

"Yes, we made them a few days ago and sent two to Shanghai."

"By the way, Mr. Zhou sent someone to tell us yesterday to build a workshop as soon as possible so that we can continue to produce gas turbines."

"He also said that there are as many ships as there are engines. You don't know that people from the Sixth Ministry of Machine Building come to our machinery factory every day and guard the door of the workshop."

"Stop, stop, stop, I'm not listening to you."

Old Wang immediately interrupted Yang Xiaotao's introduction. He heard that Lao Liu had given the machinery factory ten master craftsmen. He could only sigh that Lao Liu had quietly accumulated such a generous fortune.

If I had known this earlier, I would have gone out to beg for money.

As for being the same as Lao Liu, forget it.

Their Seventh Ministry of Machine Building is currently short-staffed, and most of the time one person has to do the work of two or three.

Just like Comrade Lao Ran, he has multiple roles.

I can't listen to Yang Xiaotao's nonsense, so I looked at him seriously and asked, "Do you know why this matter is kept secret?"

"A secret?"

Yang Xiaotao was a little confused.

"What do you mean by keeping it secret? Isn't it time yet?"

Yang Xiaotao took a sip of strong tea to suppress the alcohol in his mouth, and then continued, "Mr. Zhou said that it will take some time for the gas turbine to adapt to the ship, so don't make it public for now."

"Bullshit."

Old Wang said disdainfully, then he picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp, then he said to Yang Xiaotao, "He didn't dare to say anything."

"Don't dare? What do you mean?"

Yang Xiaotao picked up the kettle and poured water for Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang winked at the guard beside him, and the guard immediately walked to the door and stood there with a gun.

Seeing this, Ran Qiuye also went out and went to the front yard.

There was silence in the room for a moment, and then Mr. Wang explained, "You know about the last plane bombing!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded.

"You still can't guess?"

Wang Lao nodded, Yang Xiaotao frowned, and then asked tentatively, "You mean, they are worried that the other party will come again?"

"Worried? Haha."

"Let me tell you, once the news here is confirmed, the other party will definitely come."

"And we will use our maximum strength at all costs."

Mr. Wang said with absolute certainty, "Unless, they are all stupid."

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath, feeling a little bit unbelievable.

"Can't you figure it out?"

Mr. Wang held the cup of water and Yang Xiaotao nodded.

“It’s actually pretty easy to understand.”

"If they want to stay in a corner, they have to maintain their advantage on the water. Just think about it, if our fleet is more powerful than theirs, if we have tens of thousands of ships, do you think they can still sleep well?"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly realized, "I understand. If they don't want to suffer from sleeplessness in the future, they have to nip the danger in the bud."

"That's right, it's in the shipyard."

"By then, I estimate that not only shipyards in Shanghai, but also shipyards in other places will be targets."

When Mr. Wang said this, Yang Xiaotao had already figured out why he came.

So he asked, "You came here to know when the design will be completed so that you can provide protection, right?"

Mr. Wang nodded.

"The best way to deal with those mosquitoes is with our fighter planes."

"But the test flight in Shengjing has not started yet. Even if it succeeds, it will take time to form combat effectiveness."

"So our missiles become the last resort."

"And the other side only needs one incendiary bomb to make all our hard work go to waste."

After Wang Lao finished speaking, he looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "We are under a lot of pressure now."

"I can't guarantee when the other party will take action, or in other words, the other party may take action without knowing the exact information."

"All we can do is get the deployment done as quickly as possible."

"And the engine you have here is a crucial link."

"Understood?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I understand."

"I will complete the design as soon as possible and produce results as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Mr. Wang patted Yang Xiaotao on the shoulder and said, "I know this request is a bit unreasonable, but the enemy will not give us too much time."

"I see."

"Let's go. Old Qian has gone to the front line. I have to go back and take charge. I can't be away for too long."

As he said that, Mr. Wang walked out. "By the way, be sure to inform me as soon as there is any news."

"Comrades, we are all waiting."

"clear."

Yang Xiaotao did not try to persuade Mr. Wang to stay for dinner. He sent him out of the courtyard gate, watched him get into the car, and then turned and walked back into the yard.

Ran Qiuye came over and saw Yang Xiaotao's serious expression and couldn't help but worry.

"Don't worry, it's nothing."

Yang Xiaotao said with comfort, then walked towards the study.

What Mr. Wang said is right, the enemy won’t leave too much time.

And bad luck, most of the time, only makes things worse and adds fuel to the fire.

The Shanghai shipyard was safe and sound last time, but that doesn’t mean it will be safe and sound next time.

Walking into the study, taking out the design drawing from the space, Yang Xiaotao pulled out a pencil and began to calculate carefully.

When Ran Qiuye saw Yang Xiaotao's expression, she knew that her man must be under tremendous pressure.

But all she could do was to make him worry less.

Let him work in peace.

Night falls.

Senior officer.

In the villa built against the mountain, a sinister old man wearing thick clothes stood at the window looking at the night sky in the distance.

Once upon a time, he liked to stand here and look into the distance. Even though he could not see the scene on the opposite side, he still imagined the scenery of his hometown.

Once upon a time, what he wanted most was to get on a boat, take his people, and return to the land where he once roamed. But now, he was afraid.

He was afraid of seeing the vastness, so he could only look into the distance at night.

He was afraid that the other party would come by boat, so he tried every means to stop them.

Prevent the opponent's ship from flying over.

The cool breeze blew through the window, lifting the old man's clothes and making his thin body sway.

The height is not cold.

After closing the window, the old man sat back in his chair.

Looking at the information on the table, he fell into deep thought again.

"Is this a trap?"

He tapped the intelligence with both hands, his face serious.

The last failure was too heavy.

Not only did he lose his ace Night Owl, but he also destroyed his most capable team.

As a result, the action team is somewhat lacking in succession.

And the result is just a false news, a bait that they have to bite.

After all, it was not without gain.

They were surprised to find that one plane managed to return safely despite numerous blockades.

In particular, he learned from the pilot that the enemy aircraft could not catch up with his in terms of speed and altitude, and that the enemy launched a large number of missiles, but he dodged them all.

After reviewing the incident, the military gave a gratifying answer, that is, the performance of the aircraft equipped by the opponent was not as good as their 104, and the opponent's missiles, which should have been developed by themselves, had too long a reaction time and could not make precise strikes.

The military then formulated a series of plans to give full play to the advantages of its own fighter jets.

This is good news.

At least they have the means to strike at each other.

Thinking of this, the sinister old man pulled the rope beside him hard.

Lingling
As the voice sounded, a female secretary wearing a boat hat immediately walked in with a respectful expression.

"Seat!"

"Let someone confirm this information."

"Yes!"

The secretary immediately picked up the information on the table and prepared to go out, and then heard the old man's voice again.

"We must have accurate information within a week."

The secretary turned around immediately and replied respectfully, "Understood."

Watching the secretary leave, the old man leaned back in his chair and rubbed his eyebrows with his hand.

"This Red Star Machinery Factory is a disaster."

Siheyuan.

Yang Xiaotao was also rubbing his brows. He had been busy all day and had drunk a lot of wine at noon.

I couldn't eat at night, so I just sat in this study.

At this moment, looking at the time, four or five hours have passed.

"Why is it so difficult?"

Looking at the drawings on the table, they are arranged in a mess.

But Yang Xiaotao knew clearly that these were just necessary processes to eliminate errors.

"No, something must be wrong."

Sitting up straight again, Yang Xiaotao recalled the engine design drawing in his mind.

What the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building needed was a simple turbojet engine.

An engine that starts quickly and then acquires a high initial velocity.

This thing is disposable. There is no chance to recover it once it is used.

Thinking back to the design requirements and various data, Yang Xiaotao planned to check the calculations again from the beginning.

The door was pushed open, and Ran Qiuye walked in with a bowl of noodles, and then carefully placed it on the table.

Yang Xiaotao put down his pen, let Ran Qiuye walk behind him, and gently rubbed his temples.

"I didn't eat dinner, so I don't feel hungry."

"Not too hungry."

Yang Xiaotao leaned back, feeling the soft touch, and couldn't help closing his eyes.

"Take a rest!"

Ran Qiuye said in a low voice.

Yang Xiaotao opened his eyes and sat up straight, "It's still early, I'll do it for a while."

Ran Qiuye shook his head after hearing this and said, "Then eat the noodles first."

"it is good."

This time Yang Xiaotao did not refuse. He picked up the chopsticks and bowl and started eating with slurping sips.

Soon, the bowl of noodles was finished. Ran Qiuye took the bowl and chopsticks and kissed Yang Xiaotao on the face.

"Don't be too late."

"Don't worry, I know."

Ran Qiuye nodded and then left the study.

"Master, you should take a rest."

As soon as Ran Qiuye left, Xiaowei came out from the lightning-struck tree and flew to Yang Xiaotao's head to persuade him.

At the same time, a surge of energy surged out of the little hand, eliminating Yang Xiaotao's fatigue.

"fine!"

Yang Xiaotao replied and continued to lie on the table, looking at the design drawings one by one.

From time to time, he would take out previous design drawings from the space and compare them carefully.

Time passed by minute by minute, and it was already past midnight.

Then one o'clock, two o'clock
Ah~~~ha~~~
Yang Xiaotao rubbed his eyes, and tears immediately welled up in his dry eye sockets to moisten his eyeballs.

Too sleepy.

Yang Xiaotao felt that if he continued reading, he might hit his head on the chopping board and fall asleep.

"Master, take a rest."

Xiaowei flew out on her own initiative and prepared to help Yang Xiaotao clean up the table.

She has done a lot of things like this.

Every time the owner makes a mess on the desk, she is the one who cleans it up.

"Okay, clean up, I'm going to the bathroom."

After drinking a bowl of noodle soup, Yang Xiaotao felt a little irritated in his bladder.

"Good host."

When Yang Xiaotao left the study and passed the bedroom, Ran Qiuye had already laid down. He quietly went to the bathroom and after some clearing, he felt much more energetic.

He pulled up his trousers and walked back. He was about to go to bed, but suddenly he felt not sleepy yet, so he walked back to the study.

"Owner!"

Feeling Yang Xiaotao's breath, Xiaowei flew into the air, and half of the documents on the table had been sorted out.

"Let me do it. Don't get the order wrong."

Yang Xiaotao walked to the desk and Xiaowei sat on his shoulders obediently, reaching out to touch Yang Xiaotao's earlobe.

"Look, I made a mistake."

"This engine is placed under the missile, not on the booster engine"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand and moved back and forth on several design drawings, sometimes putting them down, sometimes adjusting their positions, sometimes with confused eyes, sometimes with a look of surprise, and even muttered to himself, "Hey, what if we swap the engines and change the order?"
