Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 90 Excavation
Early the next morning, Yang Zhenyu and his wife had dinner at Yi Zhonghai's house, and then rode their bikes to work.

Yang Zhenyu discovered that He Yuzhu had become more active at work since getting married. He would go out with his wife early in the morning every day to go to work together.

"He Yuzhu is interesting. I remember when he first came, he didn't come to work so early. Now, he works with Sister Meifeng every day and his personality has changed." Zhou Qianqian said while sitting in the back seat of Yang Zhenyu's car.

"That's right, he is a fan of his wife. How can he not go to work with his wife?" Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"That's true, but his cooking skills are really good. How about we buy some good dishes and ask him to help cook a table?" Zhou Qianqian said.

"Sure, I think he will definitely be happy to do so. However, it's not worth asking him to help with ordinary ingredients. I'll try to get something rare and then ask him to help." Yang Zhenyu said.

"That's fine. You have more opportunities to come into contact with new things. I can get some if I have the chance. Since I followed you, I have become greedy. In the past, steamed bread and pickles tasted delicious, but now, I always want to eat meat. It's all your fault."

Although she said this, Zhou Qianqian's eyes were already narrowed with a smile, a happy smile.

"It's hard to say. I'll talk to my aunt later. It's a bit difficult for us to eat steamed bread and pickles every day. But there is definitely no problem eating pickles every day." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Go away, how can you live your good life like this?" Zhou Qianqian said as she patted Yang Zhenyu on the back.

"Caiying, what do you think is the most scarce thing for ordinary people nowadays?" Yang Zhenyu asked while sitting in front of his desk.

"That's good. I was scared to death. I don't know anything about this." Yu Caiying patted her chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah? Well, I think the most scarce things for us ordinary people must be those that are closely related to our lives, such as things to escape the heat in the summer, heating in the winter, and things like three-turn and one-ring." Yu Caiying said after thinking for a while.

"Well, I didn't ask you for advice. I just wanted to hear what people need most." Yang Zhenyu waved his hand and said.

"hey-hey……"

After arriving at the factory, Yang Zhenyu began to think about what project to work on next. It had been so long, it was time to start a project.

"Ah? Engineer Yang, you want to start a new project. I don't understand this. Don't let me mislead you again." Yu Caiying became nervous.

"Didn't you say you like a hard life? This is easy to solve," said Yang Zhenyu.

"Well, that makes sense, but it's still too general. I need to think about it. Without a clear direction, my superiors won't approve it." Yang Zhenyu said with a bitter face.

"You can bully me all you want. I'll tell my aunt when I get back and she'll punish you." Zhou Qianqian said.

"But now the whole country is engaged in construction, so we can always use it."

"That makes sense. What you said gives me some inspiration. I'll go to the factory director first. If this matter can be settled, it will be a great achievement for you." Yang Zhenyu said with his eyes shining.

"Director Yang, good news." Yang Zhenyu walked into Director Yang's office with a smile on his face.

"What good news? Do you have an idea for a new project?" Director Yang said. "Yes, I got an idea when I was chatting with Caiying today. Our country is now vigorously building, not only cities, but also railways and highways, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources. I was thinking, can we get an excavator? What do you think?" Yang Zhenyu said.

"Well, I can't quite follow your idea. I've seen excavators before, but they look difficult to operate. Are you sure?" Director Yang said after tilting his head and recalling.

"That thing is not that difficult. The most difficult parts are the materials and the hydraulic press. The rest does not require much technical content." Yang Zhenyu said very confidently.

"There is another question. Is there such a huge demand for that thing? After we produce it, who will we sell it to? We can't continue to export it, right?" said Director Yang.

"Do we still need to worry about this? Our whole country is engaged in large-scale construction now, and machines are needed everywhere. After the excavator is made, it can greatly save time and speed up the progress of the project. Especially for those projects that need to be rushed, having an excavator will definitely be icing on the cake." Yang Zhenyu said.

"What you said does make sense, but will it really work?" Director Yang still had concerns.

"Let's report it first to see whether it's feasible or not. If the higher-ups approve it, then it's fine. If not, we can think of other ways. Anyway, we already have two branches now, and there's no rush to expand. What do you think?" Yang Zhenyu said.

"Well, what you said makes sense. You can prepare a plan later and I will submit it. If we approve it, we will start preparing. Is it really easy to do?" Director Yang couldn't help but ask again.

"It's easy. The technical content is not very high. It's mainly a problem of hydraulic press and materials. Now our steel can support the crane arm, and the hydraulic press is not difficult to use." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Okay, let's implement this project as soon as possible." Director Yang said.

"Okay, I'll go and make the plan right away. This thing can be very useful at the critical moment." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

With the approval of Director Yang, Yang Zhenyu's planning will be stable. He believes that his superiors will definitely know the importance of the excavator and will definitely approve its production.

If it weren't for the technical difficulty, Yang Zhenyu would have wanted to get coal mining equipment.

However, the technical content of the coal mining equipment is a bit high, especially the consumables, which are not so easy to make, so we finally gave up.

Just as Yang Zhenyu thought, large-scale construction was underway across the country, and when their plan was submitted, it was quickly approved by their superiors.

"Engineer Yang, are we going to develop an excavator next?"

Yang Zhenyu was quite happy about this question, at least someone could recognize it by looking at the concept map.

This proves that some of these people have learned the skill, so the subsequent work will be much easier.

"Yes, it's the excavator. Our superiors have approved our plan to develop the excavator. The next step is to carry out the research and development of the excavator." Yang Zhenyu was very straightforward. There was nothing to hide.

"Regarding excavators, I think you have seen them in books, and some people have even seen the real thing. What do you think about this thing?" Yang Zhenyu said.
