The train driver in the courtyard

The automatic fuel ignition equipment has been officially developed, and Professor Kirov is also preparing to return to the Dalian factory. He still has several heavy-duty factories in the country that need to be inspected.

Before leaving, Li Aiguo originally planned to invite Professor Kirov to his home. At this time, comrades from the foreign affairs department had already intervened.

In order to ensure the safety of Professor Kirov, if you want to invite Kirov to dinner, you need to go door-to-door to check the residents in the courtyard to search for explosives.

After careful consideration, Li Aiguo gave up the idea.

So we used the canteen of the locomotive depot to treat Professor Kirov to a meal with Chen Xueru.

After meal.

Li Aiguo handed a wine bottle to Professor Kirov.

"Dear Li, the wine here is the spirit turtle wine you mentioned? Can people maintain energy?" Professor Kirov took the wine bottle and looked at it carefully.

Li Aiguo smiled mysteriously: "Yes, this wine can boost people's spirits, but it has some minor side effects."

"It doesn't matter. You also know how important a high degree of attention is to our comrades engaged in research. A small side effect can still be afforded.",

Professor Kirov put the wine bottle in his arms.

He looked at Chen Xueru, turned around and took out a wooden box from the box.

"Dear Li, I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring any gifts. This matryoshka doll is my favorite toy. I gave it to this beautiful girl."

"This is an original matryoshka doll made of gold by craftsman Svedosh, and painted by Malyugin himself."

Open the box and inside is a set of Russian matryoshka dolls.

There are eight matryoshka dolls in total. The outer one is wearing an embroidered shirt, a sarafan skirt, an apron and a flowered headscarf.

There is an image of a round-faced country girl holding a black cock, followed by a young man and a girl, and the last one is a baby.

The matryoshka dolls use the gaudy colors that farmers love most, with high saturation of red, yellow, blue and green, giving them a rural atmosphere.

Professor Kirov picked up the matryoshka doll and put the small matryoshka doll into the big one, and said in a deep voice: "Dear Li, do you think our universe also has this kind of matryoshka doll structure?

Comrade Kurchatov once told me that the interior of the atomic nucleus also has a structure similar to that of our universe.

Electrons orbit around the nucleus, just like our earth orbits the sun, and our sun orbits the center of the galaxy, the same structure. "

Chen Xueru was a little confused at this time.

How could such a cute matryoshka doll be related to those things that I don’t understand.

Li Aiguo has also heard of the matryoshka doll structure of the universe, which is somewhat similar to later string theory.

It's just that he cares about Kurchatov.

This man is the founder of Lao Maozi's nuclear physics industry and created Lao Maozi's first big mushroom.

It seems that Lao Ji is on Lao Maozi's side, and he is quite familiar.

Li Aiguo looked at Lao Ji as if he was seeing a big treasure.

The next day.

Beijing Railway Station.

Li Aiguo waved to Professor Kirov on the train.

"Have a nice trip, Professor."

"Dear Driver Li, don't worry. When we get back to the factory, I will find a way to send you the materials you need."

The train gradually moved away, and the wheels hit the rails. The vibrations brought up large pieces of withered yellow leaves, and also took away Li Aiguo's comrades.

At this time in the locomotive depot.

A friendly but tense negotiation finally ended, and both the Dalian plant and Qianmen Locomotive Depot got what they needed.

After Duan Chang Xing shook hands with Deputy Director Zhou, he handed a document to Deputy Director Zhou.

"Lao Zhou, I received a report from a worker in the locomotive depot."

Deputy Director Zhou, who was originally full of joy, felt his heart skip a beat and quickly took the materials.

The material lists examples of Engineer Zheng’s evil deeds.

Why did he bully the locomotive depot workers and plunder the locomotive depot? He stole 202 drawing papers every month.

There are still some details. It seems that the information was provided by someone close to Engineer Zheng.

What attracted the most attention of Deputy Director Zhou was that Engineer Zheng actually had an outhouse in the capital.

This has seriously violated discipline and constituted a crime.

After reading it, Deputy Director Zhou felt as if he had been slapped in the face by Duan Chang Xing.

"Lao Xing, our Dalian factory does not strictly review the technical representatives dispatched to the section. I bear the leadership responsibility."

"It's serious, Lao Zhou. Zheng Gong's moral corruption is his responsibility alone and has nothing to do with you." Duan Chang Xing said: "Our locomotive depot police station is ready and can take action at any time."

Deputy Director Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "I'll leave this matter to your locomotive department."

"Arrests!"

Duan Chang Xing walked out of the office with his hands behind his back, leaving behind a message.

After the leaders have divided the credit, it’s the technicians’ turn next.

In his office, Duan Chang Xing announced on the spot the most generous reward since the establishment of the Duan.

Each project team member will receive two big roosters, ten pounds of Fuqiang noodles, and a certificate.

Big cock, full of meat.

Materials are scarce these days, and even if the locomotive depot workers are well paid, they are reluctant to buy meat on weekdays.

What's more, with the gradual completion of communes, all kinds of meat on the market have significantly decreased.

Even with a meat ticket, if I hadn't arrived early in the morning, I wouldn't have been able to buy meat.

The Spring Festival will be just over a month away, and the meat shortage will be even more serious by then.

Master Zhang, a seventh-level fitter on the project team, couldn't help but swallow and spit: "I will raise these two big roosters until the Chinese New Year. I don't need to buy meat this year!"

Director Zhang reminded him: "Driver Li bought the big rooster from Nanshi Town. It has been frozen in the icehouse for more than a month."

"Commander Duan, can I wait until the Chinese New Year to receive the reward?" Master Zhang had an idea and raised his hand.

Xing Duanchang said: "Yes, but you have to pay the electricity bill of 10 cents to the popsicle factory."

Look, this old section leader is so selfless.

Although it costs a dime for electricity, seven or eight technicians expressed their willingness to temporarily store the big roosters in the icehouse of the popsicle factory.

Duan Chang Xing called over Huang Shuxian, the education officer, and after registering their names, he took them to the popsicle factory to pay.

After the office quieted down.

Duan Chang Xing took out a packet of white packets from the drawer, took out two and gave them to Li Aiguo and Director Zhang.

"Lao Zhang, you have worked hard this time. The police just confiscated a batch of blankets on the train a while ago. I will reward you with an extra blanket."

"Thank you, Chief Duan, but this project is entirely due to Comrade Li Aiguo, we just did it."

Director Zhang became a little anxious when he saw that Duan Chang Xing had not mentioned Li Aiguo for a long time.

Duan Chang Xing is also having a headache right now.

It's not that he didn't realize Li Aiguo's contribution, but that Li Aiguo's contribution was too great.

In this private transaction with the Dalian factory, the locomotive depot received three brand-new forward locomotives and more than 40 trains. It can be said that wealth fell from heaven.

A little material reward is not available at all.

If there were too many rewards and word spread, it would have a bad impact on the maintenance department and Li Aiguo himself.

As for honorary awards, there is no way to talk about them.

This guy has now won the title of Advanced Railway Worker and the Advanced Medal of the National Railway Federation.

The honor given to the maintenance section obviously pales in comparison.

Alas, having a particularly capable comrade is also a worry.

Duan Chang Xing could not make up his mind, so he prepared to pass the ball to Li Aiguo.

"Comrade Patriot, if you have any demands, please feel free to put them forward."

Hear the words.

Director Zhang was shocked, could he still do this?

Li Aiguo was stunned for a moment before he understood Duan Chang Xing's predicament. He puffed up his chest and said: "Chief Duan, the reason why I researched automatic fuel ignition equipment is entirely for the safety of comrade train drivers!

There is no idea of ​​seeking personal gain for oneself!

But it would be better if I could have a studio of my own. "

"Studio?" Duan Chang Xing looked confused.

Li Aiguo explained: "It's just a small laboratory. As you know, I like to tinker with gadgets."

"agree!"

Before he finished speaking, Duan Chang Xing stood up excitedly.

The Qianmen Locomotive Depot lacks everything, but the most indispensable part is the workshop.

Besides, this kid’s hobby is great, it’s really great, maybe he can come up with something good that will shock everyone!

Director Zhang knew Li Aiguo's thoughts long ago and suggested: "Chief Duan, there is a small courtyard in the compound of our maintenance workshop, right next to the train rescue team, which is suitable for use as a small studio."

Duan Chang Xing pondered for a moment and made up his mind: "That's good. I think the patriotic maintenance section will be temporarily listed under the name of your maintenance workshop. This will make the operation more convenient."

Director Zhang's eyes widened in surprise.

The studio is affiliated with the maintenance workshop, that is, it is affiliated with the locomotive department. The locomotive department is responsible for providing equipment and experimental consumables, and even providing experimental funds.

This broke Director Zhang's inherent impression of this old section leader.

Just now he asked for 1 cents from the technicians who had made great contributions to the electricity bill.

There is no such thing as a private laboratory in these days, and developing RPG in a courtyard is too conspicuous.

What if those blind guys sneaked into the house and stole the explosives?

Li Aiguo originally planned to use the scrap shop to get some materials by himself to build the RPG.

Now that we have the name of the locomotive depot maintenance workshop, it will be easier to get materials!

"Captain Duan, thank you!" Li Aiguo said sincerely.

"You kid."

Xing Duan was midway through his long words when a burst of noise came from outside.

"Captain Duan, I got it, I got it."

I saw Zhou Ke running in with a security officer. He was so anxious that he even forgot to knock on the door.

"What did you catch?" Duan Chang Xing frowned.

Zhou Ke was surprised: "Didn't you ask me to lead people to arrest Zheng Xianmin and his little foot outside the room?"

"That's right, why did I forget this person." Duan Chang Xing pinched his eyebrows and said, "Caught them? Send them to the station. After finding out the matter, remember to send an official letter to the Dalian Factory Security Department. After all, Zheng Xianmin is an engineer at the Dalian factory."

"Understood, just"

Seeing Zhou Ke's strange expression, Duan Chang Xing asked: "What's wrong? You arrested fewer people? Who escaped? Zheng Xianmin or the woman with small feet?"

"It's not about catching less, it's about catching more." Zhou Ke's expression was much more exciting.

Duan Chang Xing's hand that lit the cigarette paused slightly, and he looked at Zhou Ke blankly, making sure that Zhou Ke was not drunk.

Zhou Ke seemed to be shocked too. He couldn't help swallowing to suppress his panic, and exclaimed: "According to the arrest warrant, two people were supposed to be arrested, but three were actually arrested! Zheng Xianmin's real wife was also naked on the bed at that time. The kind that wears a full body.”

Li Aiguo couldn't help but stare wide-eyed. He was sleeping with him and partying with him. This guy had a lot of fun.

What was originally a serious case suddenly became unserious. How will the whole story be reported in the future!

Duan Chang Xing's face turned livid and he banged the table: "Take this seriously and must be nailed to death."

Zhou Ke stood at attention, saluted and replied, "Yes!"

Zhou Ke led people to interrogate Zheng Xianmin and his two wives. Li Aiguo also said goodbye to Duan Chang Xing and followed Director Zhang to the maintenance workshop.

The small yard is not large, with only three rooms, but it is enough for a small studio. Liu Qingsong, the captain of the rescue team, had just returned from a meeting at the General Administration. When he saw Li Aiguo appearing in the yard next door, he asked in surprise: "Aiguo, does this yard belong to you?"

"The section leader gave this place to me as a studio, and we will be neighbors from now on."

Only now did Li Aiguo remember the other two benefits of this yard.

Next door is the rescue team. If the studio explodes, the rescue team can put out the fire at any time.

In addition, he helped build horizontal bars, parallel bars, massage machines and other fitness equipment in the yard of the rescue team. When you are tired, you can go there to exercise.

This is a geomantic treasure land.

Liu Qingsong learned that Li Aiguo was going to set up a studio. Although he didn't know what a studio was, he enthusiastically brought a dozen members of the rescue team to help clean up the house and yard.

These young men worked faster than the female comrades. In just over an hour, the yard was almost completely cleaned.

After Liu Qingsong took the people away, Li Aiguo went to the maintenance workshop again.

After he left, Director Zhang looked at the empty office and felt like crying.

In just a moment, a desk, a chair, a lamp, and two magnifying glasses were all moved away by this kid.

Director Zhang wanted to stop the boy, but the boy claimed that the studio was an affiliated unit of the maintenance workshop, and it was normal to use some office supplies from the maintenance workshop.

Bandit, the bandit Director Zhang will hate himself for being a bitch. Why did he agree to it then?

At this time, Master Zhang, a fifth-level lathe worker, ran over in a hurry with an anxious expression: "Director, Li Aiguo took away the vernier caliper, vise, flat shovel and three-claw handle from our workshop!"

Snapped!

Director Zhang suddenly slapped his forehead and said depressedly to Master Zhang: "Let him take it, and we will go to the logistics department to pick it up next month. Li Aiguo is now a comrade in our maintenance workshop, and his own comrades use their own tools , quite, quite suitable.”

"Yes, but he is hanging around the precious baby in our workshop right now!" Master Zhang stamped his feet anxiously.

"What, he is interested in our lathe! No, absolutely not! Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Director Zhang didn't even put on his coat. He glared at Master Zhang fiercely and ran out of the office quickly.

"You just said that Li Aiguo is your own comrade, and it is quite appropriate for your own comrades to use their own tools." After being scolded, Master Zhang scratched his head in frustration.

at this time.

In the maintenance workshop.

"I seem to have seen this thing before somewhere!"

Li Aiguo walked around a lathe.

Collecting bazookas is not a simple matter.

It is necessary to manufacture push-button triggers, trigger springs, firing rods, firing rod springs, guide tubes, firing pins and other components.

In future generations, it is estimated that through hard work, these accessories will be able to be collected, and they will be free of charge and send red envelopes by scanning the QR code.

But in these days, Li Aiguo had to do it himself.

If you want to make an RPG that meets the specifications and won't turn itself into a firework, you need precision processing equipment such as machine tools.

There happens to be one in the maintenance workshop.

It just looks very simple, and it is actually driven by a belt.

The style is similar to the lathe on RMB.

Thinking of this, Li Aiguo felt that he was confused. Isn't this the first lathe developed and produced by our country - a six-foot belt lathe.

Because of its great significance, in the 1960s, it was later printed on the two-dollar banknote.

"Driver Li, you can't help it. This lathe is the treasure of our workshop. You must not move it away."

At this time, Director Zhang ran over with the fifth-level lathe workers and protected the lathe like a hen protecting its chicks.

Li Aiguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Lao Zhang, don't be nervous, I just want to see if it works. Besides, this thing has extremely high technical content. Even if you give it to me, I won't be able to use it!"

This is true. This old belt-type lathe has no digital program assistance and relies entirely on the craftsmanship of the lathe.

To use this, you need to be able to calculate the hanging wheel. If not, haha, you will not be able to make a living as a lathe.

Director Zhang thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the case.

He felt that he was a little disappointed, and said with a smile: "How about it, what kind of equipment do you want to process, Lao Zhang is a level five lathe, I can definitely help you get it done."

"It's not needed yet, but the accuracy of this machine tool probably isn't enough."

After Li Aiguo left, Director Zhang scratched his head, looked at the machine tool, looked at Li Aiguo's back, and wondered: "This is the most advanced machine tool in the country, but the accuracy is not enough! Is Driver Li stumped and planning to build a rocket?"

Although he has not yet obtained the original information from Professor Kirov, Li Aiguo is certain that it is impossible to produce compliant accessories with this old machine tool.

However, he is not in a hurry. Professor Kirov has not returned to China yet. It will probably take more than a month to send the information.

That was long enough for him to find a suitable lathe.

In addition, the seamless steel pipe needed to make the gun barrel has not yet been found.

In these years, Anshan Iron and Steel Seamless Steel Pipe Factory has produced seamless steel pipes.

But because that thing can be used as gun barrels and barrels, it is a controlled substance, and ordinary people have no way to obtain it.

The official production plan has not yet been launched, but Li Aiguo feels that he is full of problems.

At the same time, he was full of respect for the comrades on the front line of the military industry who were fighting hard.

To be able to produce so many good weapons in such difficult circumstances, one can imagine the amount of energy they put into it.

Boom!

Just as he was sighing, there was a crisp knock on the door.

Li Aiguo looked up and saw Chen Xueru standing outside the door looking pretty.

Chen Xueru jumped into the studio with her hands behind her back, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I originally planned to bring you dinner, but Zhou Ke said that you were in the studio, so I stopped by to have a look."

"Come on, let's go home and eat!"

Li Aiguo had no clue for the time being. After closing the door, he said hello to the comrades on duty in the rescue team next door and quickly left the maintenance workshop.

In the following days, Li Aiguo drove during the day, and after returning from driving, he continued to decorate the studio.

Huang Shuxian and Chen Xueru also often came to help, and the studio quickly became like that.

The situation in the compound is as usual, and the Jia family's house has not been built yet.

The Jia and Zhang family still live in Yi Zhonghai's house, and the eldest mother is getting older visibly.

The secret war between Yi Zhonghai and Xu Damao continues.

After Yi Zhonghai suffered several hidden losses, he learned the lesson and invited the deaf old lady out.

The deaf old lady was summoned, regained her second spring, and joined the battle group.

Every time Xu Damao smashed the glass of Yi Zhonghai's house, the deaf old lady would throw stones and smash the glass of Xu Damao's house.

Each of the two families had to replace four or five pieces of glass within a week, causing heavy losses.

In the end, they all stopped repairing the windows and found a rag to cover the windows.

Although the rags are breathable and unsightly, they are not afraid of being smashed.

In this secret battle, both Yi Zhonghai and Xu Damao suffered losses, and the only one who took advantage was Yan Bugui.

Every time this old boy heard the sound of glass being smashed, he would rush to the scene immediately, collect the glass shards, and resell them to Wang Dakui's scrap shop.

Relying on this, I made a full 20 cents!

Wang Dakui's love career is progressing smoothly.

After visiting Wang Tingting's house one after another with gifts, Mr. Wang gradually accepted Wang Dakui.

Although Wang Dakui came from a bad background, he is now the manager of a collective scrap shop and can be regarded as half a 'public official'.

And this kid is very good at making money. Today he is carrying half a catty of meat, and tomorrow he is carrying two taels of white flour. Who can bear it?

As a parent, who doesn’t want their children to live a good life in the future?

With her parents' permission, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up, and Wang Tingting sometimes went to the scrap shop to help Wang Dakui.

No, Li Aiguo came to the junk shop after work and happened to bump into Wang Tingting face to face.

"Li, driver Li, you are here too. I have work to do, so I will leave first while you guys chat."

Wang Tingting was a little girl after all. She was so embarrassed that she ran out of the house in a hurry and almost bumped into an old lady selling scraps.

Li Aiguo looked at Wang Tingting's back, turned to Wang Dakui and said, "Dakui, when are you going to get married?"

"I guess we have to wait until after the New Year. Mr. Wang agrees, but my uncle is not a worry-free person."

Wang Dakui smiled bitterly and said, "I still have to do some more work."

Good guy, how come Wang Dakui getting married is like playing a game and beating a boss, one level after another, it’s endless, right?

"Okay, you, keep working hard!"

Li Aiguo came here today. He had business to do, so he stood up and came to the bookcase.

The bookcases are filled with old books collected from junk shops. Every once in a while, Li Aiguo will come and empty them out, taking these old books back to gain experience.

Looking at the dozen books in the cabinet, Li Aiguo became a little depressed.

"Dakui, why have you collected so few books this month?"

"Brother Patriot, this stuff is not Chinese cabbage. If we want to buy it, we have to sell it to others." Wang Dakui felt a little aggrieved and explained: "I still paid a high price for this little book. The price here is , it’s one cent higher than the price at a black junk shop!”

Li Aiguo: "."

He felt relieved after thinking about it carefully.

Books of this era are not cheap. For example, a 60-karat paperback book can be sold for cents at Xinhua Bookstore, and there is no bargaining involved.

Thirty cents can buy thirty kilograms of stick noodles, enough to feed one person for a month.

Anyone who buys a book will not be willing to sell it as scrap, so he is a prodigal.

It's just that there are too few books, and there are simply not enough points needed to change skills.

Li Aiguo calculated that even if he had the original data of rocket launchers and circumvented the main skill branch, he would still need to purchase at least two or three new technologies.

And now he only has a pitiful thirty-odd points.

If you want to read more books, you can only go to Xinhua Bookstore.

Just because Li Aiguo has been there so many times, the comrades in the store have noticed him.

Just kidding, who borrows a dozen books every time they go? This goes against Li Aiguo's principle of keeping a low profile.

Ahem, we are really low-key, don’t laugh.

Just then, Wang Dakui came up with a good idea.

"Brother Patriot, I heard that the university library has a lot of books. If you want to read, you can go to the library!"

"Library? That's a good idea."

Li Aiguo's eyes widened instantly.

"It just so happens that I have a friend with connections at Beijing University who can bring you in." Wang Dakui then came up with an idea.

In these days, college students are the pride of heaven and precious talents, and university campuses are not open to the outside world.

You can only enter and exit with a student ID or staff ID.

Li Aiguo frowned: "I haven't heard that you have college friends. Are you a serious person?"

Wang Dakui lowered his voice and said: "Climb over the wall. My buddy is very familiar with Beijing University and can help find a low wall."

Li Aiguo: "."

He stood up and started to walk out.

"Brother Patriot, don't leave. We won't climb over the wall. We can find a student to buy a student ID card. I have a friend who has connections. I guarantee it will be cheap and affordable."

Wang Dakui's voice came from behind him, and Li Aiguo waved to him: "Dakui, don't forget to collect the books."

What kind of friends does this guy have? How come he pays such crooked attention?

Just kidding, Li Aiguo now has legal access to the Beijing University Library.

If you don't take the main road of Yangguan, why should you take the wrong path? (End of chapter)
