The train driver in the courtyard

The reason why Zheng Xian opposed container technology in the first place had nothing to do with the route.

It was purely because the person who developed the container technology in the Tanggu operation area in Tianjin did not give him face and took down his general.

He originally thought that he had used the trump card of "line".

By then, even if the department holds him accountable, he can still defend himself.

What Zheng Xian didn't expect was that the "route" he chose would become a huge mountain that overwhelmed him.

Technical problems can be explained away by saying that the considerations were immature at the time, and at most one will receive a few criticisms.

but.

Errors in "lines" are much more serious.

This damn train driver really messed up the container technology. Zheng Xian complained a few words in his heart, but he had to make a self-criticism in front of all the leaders under pressure.

"I made an empirical mistake, but I was also thinking about our transportation business."

Seeing that Zheng Xian was still shirking responsibility and speaking official jargon, the leader waved his hand angrily:
"Comrade Zheng Xian, because of your mistakes, we are now in a passive position. But now is not the time to pursue responsibility. How about this, you go back first and reflect on the mistakes you have made."

"Leader, I."

"It's not important anymore. Officer Zhang, send Director Zheng out."

Seeing the staff standing up, Zheng Xian realized that the situation was more serious than he had imagined.

In order to save his face, he could only stand up helplessly and stagger out of the meeting room.

After leaving this conference room that symbolized the highest power of the transportation department, Zheng Xian knew very well that it would be almost impossible to come back in this lifetime.

The sun was shining brightly outside, but Zheng Xian felt it was dark.

After Zheng Xian left, the meeting continued. The leader knocked on the table and said, "The railway department is actively promoting container technology. We can't fall behind. Let's discuss how to contact the railway department."

Hearing this, all the leaders present felt aggrieved.

The container technology could have been a credit to the transport sector, but now it has been “picked up” by someone else.

In particular, the Railway Technical Research Institute asked for help regarding a road test a while ago, but was rejected.

Now they have to ask the railway department for help.

Director Chen, who graduated from Dalian Maritime University, raised his hand again: "I have some friendship with Director Liu Guozhang of the Railway Technology Research Institute. From what I know about him, he is not the kind of person who holds grudges. I am willing to make the trip myself."

"Director Chen, thank you for your help." The leader nodded.

As it was related to the promotion of container technology, Director Chen contacted Liu Guozhang on the same day and apologized for the previous "road test" as soon as he spoke.

Liu Guozhang knew that container technology was not just the railway department's business, so he said at the time that the two companies could cooperate.

With the strong support of Liu Guozhang and Director Chen, the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Transport held discussions, and since then the transportation department has also started to promote container technology.

Half a month later, the National Container Dispatching Center was established in Beijing, with personnel drawn from the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Transportation jointly building it.

Zhou Qigong serves as the deputy director of the dispatching center, and Professor Zheng and Professor Zhang serve as technical specialists.

Zhou Qigong was transferred from Tianjin Port to Beijing and served as deputy director, which meant he was promoted three levels in rank.

He has no great interest in being an official.

But in this position, I can realize my dreams.

Zhou Qigong knew clearly that without Li Aiguo, he would probably have been dealt with by Zheng Xian.

So, on the afternoon of the day when I received the appointment order, I bought gifts and went to Li's house.

Upon learning that Zhou Qigong had become the deputy director of the container dispatching center, Li Aiguo was also very happy for him.

I went to the vegetable market in person to buy eggs, green vegetables and tomatoes, and asked Nan Yi to make a few side dishes.

A family dinner, all the guests enjoyed themselves.

"Old Zhou, you will work in Beijing in the future. Please come to my house more often when you are free." Li Aiguo sent Zhou Qigong to the gate of the courtyard.

"Driver Li, I'm afraid that if I come too often, you won't be happy." Zhou Qigong laughed.

After seeing Zhou Qigong off, Li Aiguo did not dare to waste time and hurried home.

After all, he is now a dad.

There is also a little baby at home who needs to be taken care of.

Xiao Hongsheng is almost one month old now. This kid can eat, sleep and defecate.

If you don't greet me well, I can open a canal for you in bed.

Li Aiguo often used wood ash diapers at the beginning, but soon found that this thing was not easy to use.

Firstly, when wood ash gets wet, it often seeps out of diapers and makes the sheets black.

Secondly, the amount of wood ash is too small.

During this period, Li Aiguo often went to his neighbors' homes in the compound to look for wood ash, but it still could not satisfy Xiao Hongsheng's needs.

Xiao Hongsheng’s buttocks are especially prone to rashes. If they are not replaced and cleaned in time, his buttocks will turn red like a monkey’s buttocks the next day.

This was a tough time for Chen Xueru, as she had just given birth and was already very weak.

Every hour every night, I had to force myself to wake up despite my sleepiness and carefully check on Xiao Hongsheng's condition.

After a few days of this, she became dazed and lost a lot of weight rapidly.

Even so, there are always things that people neglect.

Just as Li Aiguo returned home, he saw Chen Xueru holding Xiao Hongsheng and staring at the long river on the kang in a daze.

"Brother Aiguo, am I really useless?"

At this time, the naughty little Hongsheng, who had done "bad things", was completely unaware of it and was instead very excited.

Seeing Li Aiguo enter the room, he immediately stretched out his little hand and squeaked, as if to take credit from him.

Li Aiguo touched Xiao Hongsheng's forehead and said to Chen Xueru, "It's a small matter if the child wets the bed. We have two more quilts at home. Just change them. It's not worth getting angry."

Chen Xueru's mood improved a little. She handed Xiao Hongsheng to Li Aiguo and got up to change the bed sheet.

Looking at the busy Chen Xueru, Li Aiguo felt that this was not a good way to go.

Although Chen Xueru seems cheerful on weekdays, Li Aiguo knows that she is a strong-willed person.

No matter what you do, you want to do your best.

But how can taking care of children be perfect? ​​!

During the busy farming season in the countryside, children would be hung in a basket on the beams of the house to prevent mice from biting their ears off.

If this continues, it won’t be long before Chen Xueru suffers from postpartum depression.

When the neighbors in the compound learned that Xiaohongsheng had a large drainage capacity, they also offered a lot of ideas.

The third uncle turned into an old Chinese doctor: "Aiguo, my family has a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation. Just give me the fresh eggs, wolfberries and dates.

I can make you some soup with a secret recipe. If you give this soup to your child ninety-nine times in a row, I guarantee that he will not wet the bed again."

Li Aiguo narrowed his eyes and said, "Uncle, will you return the fresh eggs, wolfberries, and dates used to make this soup after you use them up?"

The old Chinese medicine doctor said as a matter of course: "Why are you so stingy, kid? These fresh eggs, wolfberries, and jujubes are medicinal materials. After they are used, they become medicinal residues."

"Thank you, Third Uncle. You don't have to worry about this."

Li Aiguo was not sure whether this soup was useful.

But what is certain is that the third uncle will definitely become fat and plump in the next few months.

Aunt Liu also came up with an idea: "She set up an altar, sewed a cloth figure filled with cinnabar out of red cloth, and wrapped it with yellow paper. After offering sacrifices, she put the cloth figure under her grandson's pillow."

Isn’t this just feudal superstition?

Li Aiguo believed that as soon as he set up the altar, Yi Zhonghai would rush over with the street office staff.

With Chen Xueru's ideological awareness, she would never allow this.

In particular, a fire broke out in the Zhengyangmen district a while ago due to burning incense and paper at night.

The old lady got up in the middle of the night and secretly burned incense for the deceased old man.

Unexpectedly, he fell asleep while the fire was burning. Fortunately, his neighbor smelled the smell and rushed to put out the fire. Fortunately, the fire was out quickly.

Otherwise, the old lady would definitely have to go down in advance to hand the incense, candles and paper money to her old man personally.

Zhang Gangzhu was straightforward and handed Li Aiguo a butcher knife.

Looking at the black, bright, and cold butcher knife, Li Aiguo was silent for a moment and said, "Gangzhu, my son wet the bed, not lost his soul."

Zhang Gangzhu: “.”

The residents of the compound lack imagination.

These moves are all common moves, nothing special.

Li Aiguo was driving back and met Zhou Ke.

After learning about Xiao Hongsheng's condition, Zhou Ke came up with a brilliant idea.

"Aiguo, when you go to bed at night, tie up Hongsheng's little bun with a rope, then he won't wet the bed, right?"

Hey, this method is quite innovative and can solve the problem fundamentally.

Li Aiguo asked: "Does your son also sleep with his hair tied up with a bun?"

Zhou Ke shook his head: "No, that won't work. He's my own son."

"."

Li Aiguo kicked directly.

Zhou Ke quickly dodged and laughed: "Aiguo, every child wets the bed. There is no way to solve this problem."

Li Aiguo also knew that if he wanted to solve this problem fundamentally, he had to develop a magic diaper.

But these days the clothes people wear are all patched up.

If you put a brand new diaper under your butt, people will definitely think you are "committing a sin."

We still have to think of a way to have the best of all worlds.

It can make diapers without attracting attention and still make money.
Five days later.

After driving for a whole day, Li Aiguo took a shower and prepared to go home to fulfill his responsibilities as a super dad.

As soon as I came out of the bathroom, I received a notice from Director Xing that there were guests coming to the Russians' place.

When Li Aiguo arrived at the office of Director Xing Duanchang, he saw that the visitor was the Russian Andrei, and he immediately lost interest.

Because Andre controls the sales network of instant noodles and hot packs in Russia and Eastern Europe, he has to come to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot in person every two months.

As the saying goes, "Long stay makes people feel inferior, and frequent visits make relatives feel distant."

If a guest comes too often, he is no longer a guest.

Andre was quite self-aware and saw that Li Aiguo did not act like a "foreign friend" at all.

He first punched Li Aiguo on the shoulder, then hugged Li Aiguo tightly.

"My patriotic brother, I miss you so much."

"Dear Andre, have you changed your Chinese teacher?" Li Aiguo pushed Andre away.

"Hey, how do you know? My current teacher is a student from your University of the Netherlands who came to Moscow University for further studies." Andre was surprised.

Li Aiguo: "."

The two chatted for a while, and Li Aiguo looked at Director Xing: "Director, Mr. Andre came all the way here, shall I take him to visit the instant noodle factory?"

"This is what we should do. Andre is our big customer. I will notify the instant noodle factory now." Director Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he knew that Andre was not a foreign guest, he always felt uncomfortable in front of this young man from a noble Russian family.

Li Aiguo is a bad tempered boy.
"Hello, Director Chen, this is the Qianmen Locomotive Depot. Foreign guests will be visiting your factory soon."

When Andre came to Qianmen Locomotive Depot this time, the car he took was not a vehicle of the relevant unit, but a special car of the Russian foreign affairs department.

The special car had a foreign affairs license plate with black letters on a white background.

When the car entered the instant noodle factory, Director Chen was already there with a group of leaders and employees waiting nearby.

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!"

After the formal welcome ceremony, Andre was taken to the locker room by Li Aiguo to change into work clothes.

Looking at the white work clothes, Andre felt very curious.

"Patriotic, what's so special about this dress?"

Li Aiguo explained as he changed his clothes: "Once the white work clothes get dirty, they are easy to find and can be replaced and washed in time, thus ensuring hygiene during food processing.

Work clothes are distributed uniformly by the factory, and workers only wear them during working hours, so the factory can control the frequency of washing. They are changed and washed every day according to regulations. And the washing process must be carried out in strict accordance with hygiene standards. "

This work suit has no buttons or zipper pulls.

Once these small parts fall off, they are likely to be mixed into food and become foreign matter.”

Andre picked up the work clothes and looked at them carefully, and couldn't help but marvel at them.

"I didn't expect that a work uniform would have so many requirements."

"That's for sure. Our instant noodles are sold well both at home and abroad, and ensuring food safety is our bottom line."

Hearing this, Andre nodded in agreement.

He has been an "agent" for instant noodles for so many years, and has never encountered a customer returning the noodles due to quality issues.

Entering the workshop, Andre was shocked again.

In the workshop, large machines are arranged in an orderly manner and roar continuously.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

On the conveyor belt, the dough moves forward at a constant speed, becomes shiny after the oil spraying process, and then enters the seasoning area, where the seasoning is accurately added and the aroma is fragrant.

The packaging machine seals quickly, and the workers perform their duties, either monitoring parameters or sorting out finished products, in a busy and orderly manner.

Andre has dealt with many large factories in Russia, but this is the first time he has seen such a clean and orderly workshop.

He actually felt discouraged for a moment.

A few years ago, Todai was still an industrial wasteland, and it was with their support that we were able to build the factory.

In the blink of an eye, the development here has surpassed that of Big Brother.

Although Andre loves money, he also considers himself a Russian and his self-esteem is severely hurt.

"Luckily, you only have five of these factories."

Li Aiguo smiled and didn't respond.

Andre took a tour around the workshop and was greatly shocked by the advanced workshop.

When he came to the instant noodle factory this time, he originally planned to send Russian technicians to help the instant noodle factory with production.

Now it seems that it is no longer necessary.

After leaving the workshop and changing clothes in the locker room, Andre thought of a topic.

"Driver Li, did you know that we have already started the Vostok Project and are preparing to launch a manned spacecraft into space?"

If we were to ask what technology the Russians are best at these days, it would definitely be aviation technology.

In 1957, the Russians launched the world's first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1.

It triggered the Sputnik crisis in America and a small stock market crash on Wall Street.

Afterwards, the Russians and the Americans started a space race.

The Russians have made building a manned space station a priority development goal.

The Vostok Project was the first manned space program.

Li Aiguo only remembered that in 61, the Russians launched the Vostok spacecraft and sent Yuri Gagarin into space.

I didn't expect that the Eastern Plan has already started now.

In fact, I feel relieved when I think about it.

The only families that were able to achieve manned space flight in later generations were Dongda, Xiaomei, and Laomaozi.

(⊙o⊙)…The two astronauts from Xiaomei’s family were stranded in the space station due to an accident.

It’s more than one hundred and fifty days.

One was so hungry that he looked unrecognizable, and the other had a head that was getting more and more swollen.

Xiaomei’s family still failed to rescue the person.

This shows how difficult manned space flight is.

Moreover, the various technical means of that time were far inferior to those of later generations.

In order for the Russians to be able to send people into space, they naturally had to prepare several years in advance.

"Too awesome!" Li Aiguo knew what Andre was thinking and quickly gave him a long string of compliments.

Andre's disappointment from visiting the factory just now quickly disappeared, and he said excitedly: "You know, I also participated in the Eastern Project, provided materials for the project, and personally experienced the simulation warehouse on the ground."

Hearing this, Li Aiguo became excited.

"A simulation chamber? What's it like inside?"

China will have to develop manned space flight sooner or later. We, Li Aiguo, also want to compete with the Russians and the Americans, so naturally we have to find out some information about the enemy.

But Andre is not a professional technician after all.

Even if those high-tech equipment were placed in front of him, he would not be able to recognize them.

The words Andre used to describe the simulation warehouse were "too awesome!", "the coolest in the world!", "far better than Xiaomei's house" and so on.

Li Aiguo was a little disappointed.

Seeing that Li Aiguo didn't care, Andre said in a boastful manner: "Do you know what the most important criterion for selecting astronauts is?"

Li Aiguo asked: "Are you brave?"

Andre shook his head "No."

Li Aiguo asked: "Are you physically strong?"

Andre shook his head: "No."

Li Aiguo frowned: "Old An, please stop keeping us in suspense."

Andre smiled strangely: "Yes, I can hold my urine."

Li Aiguo frowned: "Hold your urine?"

Seeing that Li Aiguo still didn't understand something, Andre immediately perked up and said vividly, "Just think about it, there is no toilet in the space station. In addition, although the space suit is sealed, urine can be sprayed out at will, and the heat of the urine may cause the equipment in the space suit that must be kept cool to malfunction."

Li Aiguo was stunned: "Didn't you think of a way to solve this problem?"

Andrei: "How could they not have thought of a solution? After realizing that going to the toilet was a big deal, the Moscow Academy of Sciences launched a year-long research project, but found nothing.

They even issued a reward, saying that anyone who could solve the problem of going to the toilet would receive a bonus of 500,000 rubles.

So far, no one has claimed the reward.”

"Five hundred thousand rubles" Li Aiguo suddenly became excited.

In his impression, diapers were originally invented for astronauts, and later became civilian use, and then entered thousands of households...

If diapers were developed, it would not only solve Xiao Hongsheng's water leakage problem, but also earn him 500,000 rubles.

It is true that people who rely solely on hard work can succeed no matter where they go.

"Open the system!"

Li Aiguo opened the system and searched for diaper manufacturing technology in the system panel.

"Super absorbent polymer manufacturing technology (100 points), wood pulp fiber manufacturing technology (100 points), breathable outer layer material manufacturing technology (100 points), molding process (100 points)"

Wow, a small diaper actually costs four hundred points.

Li Aiguo had to praise the system as a profiteer.

But just think about the development history of diapers and you will understand.

The development of diapers can be traced back to 1936.

The first crude diapers, which used wrinkled toilet paper as a cellulose filling material to absorb urine, were useless.

In 1960, Xiaomeijia invented wing diapers, which used non-woven fabrics and fluff pulp as liquid permeability and absorption layers, but it was useless.

It was not until the 1980s that diapers became of practical value after the development of high-molecular water-absorbent resin materials.

So, diapers are also real high-tech products.

I now have 2920 points, which makes me a wealthy person.

"Bought it!"

Li Aiguo clicks the buy button.

Almost instantly, a lot of unfamiliar knowledge appeared in my mind.

With the help of the system, this knowledge instantly became simple and easy to understand.

Li Aiguo squinted his eyes and checked the various technologies required to make diapers.

Although these technologies are somewhat difficult, they can still be produced these days.

He clenched his fists.

"You know, I was good friends with Gagarin. That guy could hold his urine for a whole day. We called him the King of Holding Urine."

At this time, Andre was still happily talking about the Eastern Plan.

Li Aiguo suddenly asked: "Can foreigners claim the bounty?"

"What?" Andre was a little confused.

"It's the reward for solving the astronauts' toilet problem."

"The reward was offered by the Moscow Academy of Sciences, but there is no restriction on nationality." Andrei said halfway, his eyes suddenly widened: "You want to solve this problem."

"The idea is indeed there."

"Can I invest?" Although Andre was not sure whether Li Aiguo could solve the problem, he keenly realized that this technology would have great money potential.

"No."

Li Aiguo rejected Andre without hesitation.

Friends are friends, interests are interests, and Li Aiguo has always made a clear distinction between them.

Andre also realized that he was a little impatient. So many Russian scientists had not been able to solve the problem of going to the toilet.

Li Aiguo is just a train driver. Even though he has developed a lot of good things, his real strength cannot compare to that of the Moscow Academy of Sciences.

Andre focused his work on the purchase of instant noodles. After all, this thing is the real profiteering one.

Now instant noodles have become the best-selling food in Eastern Europe and Europe, and there are even instant noodle canteens specializing in selling instant noodles.

Back at Xiaomei's home, Hextech Technology has also opened up sales channels, and instant noodles marked with the Hextech logo have appeared in major shopping malls.

Although five large instant noodle factories have been built in China, they are still unable to meet market demand.

Moreover, the old commander also secretly transported a large amount of instant noodles to the border.

In this case, the amount that can be distributed to Andre is very limited.

However, since Andre made the trip in person, Li Aiguo did not let his efforts go in vain and promised to increase the supply by 10% next month.

"Dear driver, you are my brother!"

After receiving Li Aiguo's assurance, Andre returned to the Russians with satisfaction.

After returning home and having dinner, Li Aiguo sat down at his desk, spread out the manuscript paper, and started working.

Chen Xueru was busy washing dishes when she heard Xiao Hongsheng crying from inside the house.

This child eats a lot, is very strong, and has a particularly loud voice.

"I just fed him and his diaper isn't wet. What's wrong with this child?" Chen Xueru held Xiao Hongsheng in her arms and rocked him for a long time, but Xiao Hongsheng was still crying.

Chen Xueru was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.

Li Aiguo stood up and walked over.

He was holding a strange toy in his hand.

"Is this a toad?" Chen Xueru asked curiously.

Li Aiguo's mouth twitched twice: "It's a frog"

There was no way. After all, Li Aiguo was not a craftsman, and being able to make small animals out of iron sheets was already his limit.

Maybe we should find a few level 8 fitters to do this job.

Li Aiguo put the iron-shell frog on the ground under the surprised gaze of Chen Xueru and Xiao Hongsheng.

Then, he wound up the clockwork.
