Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2194: After passing this hurdle, there is still more to come
The slum, the Ran family.

After everyone had finished eating, Ran Qiuye, Ran's mother and Ran Xinrui cleaned the table, while Ran Hongbing took Duanwu Miaomiao to play in the yard.

Yang Xiaotao and Ran's father sat in the aisle nearby. Yueyue was a little clingy. She sat on Yang Xiaotao's lap, looking at her brothers and sisters in the distance, and enjoying the melon seeds from her grandfather.

Yan Fugui was as boastful as ever. The fish he caught were not big, not even a single one as big as a palm.

After taking it, Yang Xiaotao's plan to make braised fish was naturally ruined.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of other supplies.

"Dad, I heard from Mr. Qian that you guys are going to develop new air-to-air missiles?"

"How's it going?"

Yang Xiaotao held Yueyue's little hand. Among the children in the family, she was the most honest.

Most like her mother.

Of course, this is not what he said, but the result of the unanimous judgment of his grandparents, aunt and uncle.

Father Ran was not surprised to hear Yang Xiaotao ask this. He knew about Mr. Qian giving lectures at the machinery factory and had even seen the tapes.

I have to say that the machinery factory made a good move. It has money to help lay the foundation. As long as they work hard and don't slack off and show some courage, they will definitely achieve something in the future.

As for his son-in-law Yang Xiaotao, he has heard Mr. Qian praise him more than once.

If it weren't for Yang Xiaotao's identity, I guess Mr. Qian would have kept him by his side to train and educate him.

"The new air-to-air missiles are not that easy."

Father Ran thought for a while and said seriously that during the last meeting, someone suggested asking the machinery factory to help with design and manufacturing, but in the end Mr. Wang did not mention it, so the machinery factory was not notified about this matter.

Yang Xiaotao also understood the other party's thoughts. It is better to rely on oneself than on others. Relying on others is always inferior.

"Our original plan was to do it step by step, from Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3."

"It's a special situation right now, so we can only bring out number three!"

While Ran's father was speaking, Yueyue had already eaten the melon seeds in her hand and was staring at Ran's father with big eyes.

"However, there are many problems in the development of No. 3, especially the engine, which needs to be miniaturized. We are currently studying it and are preparing to refer to your design and make it as soon as possible!"

Father Ran was talking about the research and development situation. When he saw Yueyue's eyes widened, he laughed and continued to peel melon seeds.

"Dad, if you have any difficulties, just speak up!"

Yang Xiaotao thought about it and decided to say it, but he also had to save face for the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

Besides, I can't rush to do it.

The reason I said this was that I wanted to help solve the current dilemma. After all, it was not a good thing to have a little black bird flying around in the sky.

Besides, since Mr. Qian has helped him, he should at least give something in return.

He is not a person who does not repay kindness.

"Well, let's try it first. If it doesn't work, we'll have to ask you for help then!"

If it was something else, Ran's father might have considered it, but on this matter, Ran's father had no intention of being polite to Yang Xiaotao.

"By the way, I heard that you are developing a machine tool?"

Father Ran suddenly asked.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yes, I just designed it!"

“How’s the effect?”

“It’s not made yet, but according to the design requirements, it should be two or three levels higher than Morning Star!”

Yang Xiaotao didn't know how to describe it, so he could only use the Morningstar machine tool as a reference.

Of course, if you know the development of machine tools abroad, you will know the quality of this Mercury.

Unfortunately, foreign countries won’t tell you.

"Is this so good?"

Father Ran was suddenly at a loss.

He knew Morning Star, and it was extremely difficult to manufacture.

Now the machine tool factory under the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building has also begun to try production. Although the output is not high, there are always about ten units a year.

Even so, it was still a considerable burden for the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

The director in charge of logistics came to him and said that the raw materials consumed in making one Morning Star were enough to buy three from the machinery factory!
This is also the technological gap between the two sides.

However, in comparison, their Seventh Ministry of Machine Building is still pretty good. It is said that the machine tool factories of the Fifth and Sixth Ministry of Machine Building have not figured it out yet.

For this purpose, several members of their department made a great determination to overcome the hurdle of Morning Star.

From this aspect, it can be seen that the production difficulty and sophistication of Morningstar machine tools are absolutely second to none in China.

Even the machine tools imported from abroad may not be as good as this one.

But just when the whole country was preparing to overcome this hurdle, unexpectedly, the machinery factories began to raise the threshold again.

And it's not just a little bit, it's directly raised to two levels.

If those people who are full of confidence knew that they had finally crossed the hurdle of Morning Star, but when they looked up, there was a mountain above them, they would probably not be able to bear it and would collapse on the spot!
"Yes, precisely because it is so difficult, this machine tool is not easy to make!"

Yang Xiaotao has been to the workshop and is aware of the production progress of the machine tools.

When I was walking around the workshop with Mr. Qin in the afternoon, I listened to the opinions of Liu Daming and others.

"The materials used in high-precision machine tools are very different from those in the past. Just to reduce the processing, almost every time you produce a few parts, you have to use a machine tool!"

"Morning Star Machine Tools."

Yang Xiaotao told the truth, and Ran's father frowned slightly after hearing it, not understanding his meaning.

Yang Xiaotao then explained, and Ran's father was even more speechless.

Only a large machinery factory like this would use a precious machine tool like Morningstar as firewood.

Only they have the confidence.

I guess other machine tool factories, no, it should be several other machine tool departments that would back off after hearing about this.

"I estimate that when the Mercury machine tool is completed, at least thirty or forty Morningstar machines will be used!"

Yang Xiaotao estimated the approximate number.

However, this is the case when Yang Xiaotao has not taken any action. After listening to Mr. Qian's lecture this time, there are some things that he should take action on.

After hearing this, Ran's father remained silent.

It would be great if these thirty or forty Morning Stars were given to their Seventh Ministry of Machine Building!
……

"Old Qian, are you telling the truth?" Just as Yang Xiaotao was talking to Ran's father about the Mercury Machine Tool, Old Wang in the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building also had an incredible look on his face.

Mr. Qian nodded while looking at the notebook on the table. At the same time, he was checking something with a pen and paper in his hand.

"Well, what I said at lunch should be correct!"

Mr. Wang opened his mouth wide and muttered, "One machine is worth thirty or forty machines?"

"My goodness, what's the name of this one?"

"Mercury!"

"Mercury, this name is unique."

Mr. Qian stopped writing and explained the solar system.

Old Wang didn't care. He didn't care about gold, wood, water, fire or earth. It was just a name. Just call him Goudan. As long as it worked, it was fine.

"Oh, yes, a Mercury machine tool, can one really replace thirty or forty Morning Star machine tools?"

"You heard wrong. To produce this one, we may need so many Morningstar machine tools. I guess it has something to do with the materials used and the processing accuracy."

"That's the same thing."

"Oh my goodness! If this machine tool is manufactured, I don't know if it will be in the next ten years, but in five years, this machinery factory will definitely be a mountain that other machine tool factories will be unable to overcome."

"Moreover, I think this is not their full strength. I estimate that in the next few years, Yang Xiaotao will be even taller than before."

"Damn it, why isn't it from our Seventh Machine Department?"

Old Wang sat on the chair, his face showing surprise, then excitement, and finally a kind of envy and helplessness.

Old Qian took a look at it and thought that what he meant was reasonable.

Then continue studying the special phenomena in the notes.

The situation discovered by the pilot is very important. The other party is a front-line pilot and is far more practical than those of them who are engaged in theory.

He felt that if this phenomenon was studied thoroughly, it would be of great help to aircraft design.

Of course, it might also help the Rockets.

Just as Mr. Qian was thinking, Mr. Wang suddenly stood up and said, "Mr. Qian, what do you think about this machine tool..."

Seeing that Mr. Wang looked like a chicken stealing millet, Mr. Qian immediately guessed what he was thinking, so he replied calmly, "If you can get it back, you can smoke as much as you want in this office from now on!"

Old Wang looked embarrassed, but soon recovered and said quietly, "Mercury is the apple of my eye! How can I have the nerve to ask for it!"

Old Qian nodded. Not to mention them, even if Old Chen went there, he would probably be too embarrassed to speak.

"But, hey!"

"It would be a waste to insure a broken Morningstar machine tool like this. I think it would be better to..."

Mr. Qian was stunned for a moment, but he didn't look up or say anything.

But I always feel like I'm collecting junk.

Seeing that Mr. Qian didn't say anything, Mr. Wang understood.

"I'll go check it out tomorrow!"

As he said this, he had a triumphant smile on his face, then looked at the things on Qian Lao's desk and asked, "What is this for?"

"For missiles?"

Qian Lao waved his hand and said, "This is what Xiao Tao gave me. It should be helpful for their aircraft design."

"Help? When will you figure it out?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Ahem, nothing much, just curious, asking."

"It depends on the situation. I guess it won't take a few days."

Mr. Qian said that he already had some rough ideas, and he just needed to check them again, and he would probably be able to find the pattern.

When Mr. Wang heard this, his face lit up, "Okay, tell me when the time comes."

He stood up, patted his butt, and then strode out.

This time, I am full of confidence.

Logistics Office.

After Mr. Qin came back, Xiao Feng and others came up to report on their work.

In fact, Yang Xiaotao still underestimated Mr. Qin's courage.

Although the Logistics Department is relatively large and the relationships within it are complicated, compared with Mr. Zhang from the Third Ministry of Machine Building, Mr. Qin, the boss, still has many constraints.

Even so, Mr. Qin took practical action.

He was not as tough as Mr. Zhang. He just carried out targeted strikes, arrested a few typical cases, and then sent them to the agricultural reclamation department.

"Commander, the spirit has been fully conveyed to the people below, and many factories have requested to increase their tasks."

Xiao Feng said this with a smile, and Old Qin snorted coldly, "Why are you so anxious now? What were you doing before?"

Thinking back to when the Type 63 rifle was being produced, those bastards below used all sorts of excuses, such as lack of technology and insufficient machines, to stall him. In the end, if it weren't for the machine tools produced by the machinery factory that left these bastards speechless, the Type would have been changed long ago.

Not to mention that there were a lot of messes when the engines were produced in the early days.

"These people are like donkeys. They don't know how to move unless they are led."

"Comrades, please keep an eye on this. Don't be too enthusiastic. If we destroy it this time, we will destroy it forever."

Xiao Feng nodded immediately, "Understood, we will regularly organize personnel to conduct inspections everywhere, and once we find any, we will not let them off easily."

"Okay, you take charge of this matter. By the way, you can refer to the quality inspection department of the machinery factory."

"If nothing else, the internal quality control of the machinery factory is very good."

Xiao Feng nodded again. He had heard about the situation at the machinery factory, not to mention that the First Ministry of Machine Building had already started implementing it.

After reporting on his work, Xiao Feng left. Only then did Mr. Qin relax and pick up the cup on the table and take a sip.

After thinking about what Yang Xiaotao had said to him today, he couldn't help but smile and said, "If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools."

"This kid is thoughtful, step by step."

"Besides, you have the ability!"

"He's a great successor!"

Old Qin shook his head and smiled, looking very happy.
