Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 156 Preparation
After a phone call, Yang Zhenyu realized that the country really attached great importance to this aspect, and the gap seemed to be even bigger than he thought.

He quickly wrote a report and handed it to the guards, who would deliver it to the leader.

"Comrade Jiaying, how is the drilling rig?" Yang Zhenyu asked.

Comrade Jiaying's real name is Miao Jiaying. She is the person in charge of the drilling rig project. Yang Zhenyu has already made the general direction and even designed some core parts himself, but someone is still needed to take the lead.

"It has been completed. The sample has not been made yet. It will take a few days." He said to Tang Jing.

"Good, the progress is very fast." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"Engineer Yang, please don't look down on us. We have the original foundation, and you have already set the overall direction. We are just designing according to the established plan. It's already very slow that it took so long to complete." Miao Jiaying said with a wry smile.

"I am aware of your efforts. Although I usually focus my main energy on the laboratory, I still know the dynamics here. After this project is completed, we will proceed to the research and development of the next project. The task this time is heavier, and all of us need to get moving." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Is it a big project?" Miao Jiaying said with shining eyes.

"That's right, a complete set of equipment, much more complicated than a drilling rig." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"That's great! Everyone will be very happy to hear the news." Miao Jiaying said excitedly.

"Okay, you guys continue to focus on the drilling rig problem. I'll take a look in the afternoon. If there is no problem, then we will prepare for the next project." Yang Zhenyu said.

The next project is naturally the purification and production equipment of silicon single crystals, which is still very difficult at present.

It is different from what ordinary high school students can understand in later generations. At that time, everyone received so much knowledge and saw so much.

But now, most people have never seen so many things, and have not even seen the finished products. How can people study them?

In the future, if you take apart any smart toy and take out the contents, you will find that they are all black technology.

"The laboratory has already produced results, but mass production will take some time. Our main work next may be on equipment design and trial production, which is very difficult for us," said Yang Zhenyu.

"We have no problem with resource support. In addition, our superiors have assigned some talents to us, and they should arrive in the next few days," said Director Qi Jianguang.

That’s right, we are in a meeting again, and this time the meeting is mainly focused on mass production.

"As for materials, we will be given priority. The last time I attended a meeting, the leaders were very satisfied with our research progress, but they also had corresponding concerns. Because other institutes have been conducting research for quite a while, but up to now, the mass production situation has been very unsatisfactory." Ning Chaohong said.

"As for mass production, I think it will take at least half a year to see the equipment, and I'm not sure whether it will be successful. After all, the laboratory can only provide a basis, which is different from mass production," said Yang Zhenyu.

"If others say this, I may not believe it, but we have already seen your research many times. Although it is a laboratory method, it adopts industrial methods. Although it is a simulation method, it also provides a basis for subsequent mass production." Qi Jianguang said.

"Hey, we have no choice. Others have surpassed us by a lot. If we don't take shortcuts, when will we be able to catch up?" Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"I'll leave the mass production to you. We'll take care of the other aspects. There's also a meeting in the next two days, which is said to be a meeting to study the future direction of civilian technology. Do you have time to attend?" Qi Jianguang said. "I don't think I have time. I have just designed the general framework of the equipment. Next I have to design the core part. The work pressure is very high. The most important thing is that the superiors hope to complete mass production as soon as possible because there is a big gap." Yang Zhenyu shook his head and said.

At this time, how can I have the time to attend a symposium? I have such a heavy workload now that I don’t even have time to eat. How can I attend a symposium? Isn’t that just making things uncomfortable for myself?

"Okay then, let's not go and focus on our research."

If Yang Zhenyu doesn't want to go, there's nothing anyone else can do, as the progress of the project is under tremendous pressure.

It is often said that pressure brings motivation, but if the pressure is too great, people will lose motivation and may even choose to give up.

Yang Zhenyu didn't like participating in this kind of symposium, where a group of people were arguing endlessly. Everyone thought that their research direction was correct and no one could convince anyone else.

But who can say for sure about something that has not been verified?

Only the test of time can confirm which one is correct.

As for Yang Zhenyu, he is a time traveler, so he naturally knows what kind of changes will happen later, and he also knows which direction will be needed in the next few decades.

However, if others don’t know about it, there will be a quarrel later, so it’s better to do scientific research on your own.

Moreover, those real experts always hold discussions behind closed doors in a small circle, and their superiors are also happy to listen to their opinions. Seminars are an occasion for listening to opinions.

The small meeting of a few people ended quickly, and Yang Zhenyu returned to his office. He still had to deal with work in the factory, which was quite tiring.

As May Day is just around the corner, we have to speed up the arrangements for the party, and in this regard we have to listen to Tin Kai-man's work reports from time to time.

The factory had already spread the news that it would hold a party on May Day, and everyone would be able to see some unique performances.

The workers in the factory were very excited about this.

It’s not that I like the party so much, but there aren’t many entertainment activities at this time. Even if I don’t like it, I still have to watch the fun. Otherwise, I’ll just stay at home, so why not watch the fun.

Yang Zhenyu also attached great importance to this party. In the eyes of others, this was his first step to seize power.

Of course, Yang Zhenyu did not think that he was seizing power. After all, it was just equal retaliation. As for what others thought, it didn't matter.

In a word, Mr. Yang is not someone who is easy to bully.

Secretary Xiang has been very low-key recently. I don’t know what he is planning. He has not shown any performance in meetings and rarely speaks.
