Scholars in the courtyard.

People from the research and development team had asked Yang Xiaotao what kind of tractor they wanted to design.

Yang Xiaotao never gave an answer.

Now is the time to announce.

In the office area of ​​the R&D department, Chen Bin and others are also thinking about what kind of tractor to make. After all, the power of the steam engine is not small, and it should be possible to make something like the one in the north.

It's just that Yang Xiaotao has never been sure, so they can only worry about it.

But today, Yang Xiaotao is going to come up with his own design plan, which makes everyone look forward to it.

At nine o'clock in the morning, R&D department.

Yang Xiaotao stood in front, with a template behind him and some pieces of chalk beside him.

Below, the three groups of the R&D department are all here, with Chen Bin, Liu Daming and Wang Hao at the front.

As for the only member of the logistics team, Lou Xiaoe stood by and guarded the thermos bottle.

Everyone below held pens and paper in their hands, even the people in the security team did the same.

They should write down the key points of the meeting, and distinguish which ones are of great value and which ones should be protected.

Otherwise, if something really happened, they wouldn't even be able to tell which blueprint was important, and they wouldn't be able to save it!

As for the research and development team and the technical team, their expressions are even more serious. This is related to their success or failure.

Yang Xiaotao stood in front and began to draw pictures on the wooden board.

What he drew was the general appearance. As for the specific drawings, he would explain the requirements and require the joint efforts of the people below.

He can do it by himself, but it's too time-consuming.

Working together, when he integrates them together, the credits will still be his.

After a while, the door opened, and Yang Youning and Xu Yuanshan walked in and sat aside.

They heard the news that Yang Xiaotao was going to come up with a plan today, and they also wanted to come and see what the first tractor in this rolling mill looked like.

If it's too ugly, then no.

After staring at the board for a while, the two of them could see that it was similar to the imported walking tractor back then, but some changes were made.

After Yang Xiaotao finished drawing, he nodded to the two of them, and then wrote the words "walking tractor" beside him.

"Comrades. This is what our research and development department will do, 'walking tractor'!"

With that said, Lou Xiaoe stepped forward and handed the two drawings to Liu Yijian and Chen Bin.

"The 'walking tractor' I designed has the following advantages."

"First, it has sufficient power and is easy to operate. It can tow the car body, install agricultural tools, carry goods, and cultivate..."

"Second, saving materials and saving costs."

"Third, it is convenient for disassembly and maintenance."

Following Yang Xiaotao's explanation, the people below began to record some specific parameters and calculate them after the meeting ended.

Liu Yifile and the others looked at the blueprints, and they were even more concerned about how to turn the parts on the blueprints into reality.

"Of course, this is only a preliminary design. There will definitely be various deficiencies in it, and this requires us to continue to improve."

"What I sent to you is an incomplete design drawing. The main requirements have been set. Among them, the transmission system, balance mechanism and other places are not perfect. This is also the next time, everyone's work goal."

"Borrow existing domestic designs and foreign designs to make what we need."

Yang Xiaotao continued to arrange tasks for everyone, and Chen Bin below felt a lot of pressure.

A week is a bit tight.

After the meeting was over, everyone started to act.

Liu Yifu took the confirmed drawings and went to the first workshop to start manufacturing.

Chen Bin took people to check the data, and when the time came, he had to change the data and calculate whether it was suitable.

In the end, Yang Youning and Xu Yuanshan called out Yang Xiaotao.

"It's been almost a month, and the tractor hasn't been implemented yet. I don't think you should worry. Take your time and be sure to be steady."

Yang Youning worried that Yang Xiaotao's eagerness for success would cause losses and even damage the morale of the army.

The same is true for Xu Yuanshan.

The meeting just now was basically Yang Xiaotao's talk, and the other people in the R&D department were more like part-time workers, working under Yang Xiaotao's supervision for a while.

Without democratic discussions and collisions of ideas, how could there be sparks of miracles?
No matter how you look at it, it feels sloppy.

But they had no other choice. When they started this project, they only relied on Yang Xiaotao.

If Yang Xiaotao, an engineer, can't do it, the rolling mill won't be able to find anyone else.

So, even though they felt that Yang Xiaotao was a bit arbitrary, they didn't say anything.

Who let them not understand it.

Besides, what kind of walking tractor looks good.

It's just the name, it's missing something.

"Director, don't worry."

"This machine is designed, there must be no problem."

Yang Xiaotao still has confidence, as long as the system gives credits, it means the design is correct.

This is much stronger than any test or calculation.

The reason why the members of the research and development team were asked to do some calculations was also to let them know their abilities and establish their prestige.

"As long as you know what's in your heart. For other things, just speak up if you need us."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, and the two left.

Back in the office, Yang Xiaotao picked up the drawings and walked to the workshop.

When he came to the first workshop, Liu Daming was organizing manpower to analyze the drawings.

This time it was the chassis.

As the existence of supporting other parts of the tractor, if you want to support the steam engine and other components, the requirements for the chassis are not low.

Especially the steam engine is big, twice as big as the diesel engine and water tank of later generations, so the weight is naturally heavier.

To provide stability, the design of the chassis must be strengthened.

Design-wise, the chassis consists of a frame, wheels, tires and suspension.

Among them, the suspension is the most complicated.

"This suspension refers to the structure of the Jiangcheng Small Tractor Factory, with adjusted data."

"Be careful here..."

Yang Xiaotao explained it to everyone, making it easier for everyone to operate.

When Yang Xiaotao was explaining, not only the members of the technical team were listening, but also many people in the first workshop were watching, and even Sun Guo was also joining in the fun.

Now a workshop produces two kinds of steam engines, one is for well drilling machines, and the other is now ready to be installed on walking tractors.

One-third of the order for [-] well drilling machines issued by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has been completed. When this happens, the next focus will be tractors.

If you don't listen carefully now, what will you do in the future?

And he also heard the wind that the production of this tractor may be separated to form No.11 workshop.

This is no small matter.

The near water and the platform come first, so he seized the opportunity.

After a while, Liu Yifile led his men to start processing, while Yang Xiaotao watched from the side, pointing out problems from time to time.

After a busy afternoon, Yang Xiaotao returned to the office, drank his saliva, and thought about whether he missed anything.

After Lou Xiaoe got off work, Yang Xiaotao got up and walked to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Qin Huairu can already get out of bed and walk around.

Although it is confinement, how can there be so much time for them these days?

This is still in the city. If you are in the countryside, when you get busy, it would be nice to have a rest for three to five days.

Now, she is also content.

Holding the little Sophora japonica flower, sitting at the door of the house and basking in the sun.

There was a smile on Jia Zhang's face.

In her heart, as long as Qin Huairu is of one mind with her, it will be fine.

Of course, it is best to give her some pension money.

In the yard, Bang Geng and Xiao Dang are playing. They have a younger sister, and they have a "toy" at home, and they will have a playmate in the future.

"Have you heard? Yang Xiaotao's tractor came out. It seems to be quite the case."

In the yard, workers in a workshop were bragging to those next to them.

In the past, the people who could hold their heads up the most in this courtyard were from the third workshop, because Yang Xiaotao belonged to the third workshop, and this group of people followed Yang Xiaotao to eat their mouths full of oil. It's winter this year.

The people in the third workshop felt superior to others in this courtyard, and later a few people from the eighth workshop also stood up and became another supporter behind Yang Xiaotao.

Now lol.

Finally, it was the turn of the people in the first workshop.

Relying on the drilling machine, they benefited from following behind.

In the future, there will be a big project of tractors, and the good days in the future are just around the corner.

"Tch, who doesn't seem to know."

"That's right, it's not you, what are you proud of?"

The two people next to him turned back to the one in the workshop.

They are not afraid of this person, don't think that if they get into the job of Section Chief Yang, they are Section Chief Yang's people.

With those who have taken refuge with them in the early years, you can only go to the back row.

The people in the first workshop were not annoyed, "Haha, I am happy for Section Chief Yang."

"If you want to say that our Section Chief Yang is really amazing, he has reached this point in just a few years, really amazing..."

"Now I know, you were very proud of being with the uncle before."

The people in the third workshop were provocative, and the people in the first workshop immediately jumped up, "No way, don't talk nonsense."

"When did I follow the uncle, who followed Yi Zhonghai? We are all revolutionary comrades, so don't talk nonsense about things that don't happen."

Those from the third workshop and the eighth workshop stood up, and those who gathered around also laughed when they heard it.

Everyone has heard that Sun Guo, the director of the first workshop, has started to suppress Yi Zhonghai, and many people around Yi Zhonghai are thinking about gains and losses.

Although they haven't been affected yet, the people in this courtyard are not fools, even if they are silly Zhu, they are not stupid.

Needless to say, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, someone re-exported immediately.

Several people laughed, and then talked about the bright future together.

"Follow Section Chief Yang, you can't go wrong."

As the voice spread, Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu, who walked in together through the Chuihuamen, changed their expressions.

Everyone didn't shy away when they saw it, and continued talking.

Silly gasped in anger, looked at the crowd angrily, then cursed and went home.

The same was true for Yi Zhonghai, there was no anger on his face, but his heart was already in waves.

Even Qin Huairu, who was standing at the door, didn't look carefully, and closed the door after returning home.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu didn't have the same enthusiasm as before, Qin Huairu felt lost.

Back home with the child in their arms, there was another discussion outside the door.

But this time, the conversation turned to her.

It was faintly rumored that he would replace Jia Dongxu at work.

A surge of hope suddenly rose in Qin Huairu's heart.

As long as she can get into the rolling mill, she has a chance.

When Yang Xiaotao returned home, he was not as busy with work as usual, but cut leeks from the yard, took out pig head meat from the space, took a bottle of wine, and started cooking.

After a while, the food was ready, and Yang Xiaotao drank by himself to soothe his nerves.

Xiaowei was jumping on the table, coming out and flying out for a while, the yard was lush with green.

Tomatoes, cabbage and other vegetables and fruits have begun to grow, and cucumbers are almost ripe. It will not be long before Xiaowei's efforts will become a conspicuous color in the courtyard.

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao went to bed early to recharge his energy and continue tomorrow.

As for the difficulties in the work, the road has been paved and the goal has been established. The next step is to move forward together to the goal and kick away the problems that block the way.

It's not that Yang Xiaotao doesn't work hard, given him enough time, he can complete all the shots by himself, but it takes too much time.

Instead of fighting alone, it is better to let your subordinates work together.

With the collective efforts, I believe that it will not take long before the drawings of the walking tractor can be made.
