Chapter 476 I am confident
When everyone arrived at the brigade headquarters, Mr. Xia and Mr. Tao put aside what was on their minds, walked aside, and then asked each other about the purpose of their visit.
After some exchanges, the two of them knew each other’s intentions.
Knowing that he was not here for Yang Xiaotao, Mr. Xia was obviously relieved.
Knowing that he was here for the steam engine, Old Tao also laughed.
Afterwards, the two of them smiled at the same time as if they understood.
They even got together and whispered.
"Old Tao, what's the matter? If this thing is built, your Ministry of Agriculture will also benefit."
"Let's talk about the current form. You know better than me what has been done. There are so many, if there is such a coal-burning tractor The puller is quite useful.”
“More importantly, as long as we have a thorough understanding of the technology, we can mass-produce it without looking at the outside world.” Imported.”
Mr. Xia said with excitement. The guy in front of him was a leading figure in the Ministry of Agriculture. If he could get his help, then this matter would be more certain.
After Tao Lao heard this, he was not in a hurry to speak, he was also thinking silently in his heart.
Agricultural issues are about stability.
It is their greatest responsibility to keep the Chinese people full.
Providing food for this populous country is not just about sitting in an office and making a decision.
The current form of agriculture has led to many places being starved of food.
How many farmers don’t have enough to eat themselves, so they give the food they save to the state and to the workers.
He felt sour when he heard it.
But there is nothing he can do. After all these years, there has only been some improvement.
This is why he attaches great importance to high-yielding corn.
If agricultural construction could be strengthened, he would definitely agree.
But it would be a bit rash for him to make a decision now.
At his position, any decision needs to be made carefully.
"Lao Xia, this can't be accomplished by just saying a few words. Do you have confidence?"
"It's not that I look down on the steel rolling mill. This tractor factory either has solid foundation. , or it was achieved by accumulating experience and investing huge amounts of money.”
"What about you guys? With no plan, no preparation, no experience, just relying on passion and impulse, thinking that it can be done by a group of fitters?"
"Lao Xia, what are you talking about? It's reliable."
Mr. Tao said politely, and Mr. Xia was not angry.
"It all depends on human effort. Besides, we are not unprepared at all."
"Just like this well-drilling machine, isn't it made from scratch?"
"Since this can be done, why can't tractors do it with the steam engine?"
"The most difficult thing has been done, what else are there to fear?"
"And, My soldiers, I have confidence."
As he said this, Mr. Xia stood up. Mr. Tao listened to the silence for a moment and then also stood up.
“Then let’s see it with our own eyes, and it’s not too late to talk!”
While several people were talking, the sound of cars was heard again outside the village. Someone ran to the brigade headquarters. Yang Dazhuang quickly took people out to check.
Then I found out they were cars from steel rolling mills and cement plants.
Liu Huaimin and Li Zhixing came to the brigade headquarters and met Mr. Tao and Mr. Xia. They were both more nervous than excited.
Seeing that the cement pipes were in place, Yang Xiaotao and Yang Dazhuang discussed and sent the cement pipes up.
It just so happened that the two leaders were asked to inspect the well drilling machine and water press.
After discussion, Yang Dazhuang went to report the situation, and then asked the car to come to the north slope. Mr. Yang also led everyone to the north slope
When everyone came to the north slope, Zhou Kui was leading people to the new slope. Place to dig a well.
The place just now has been laid. Since there are no cement pipes, we can only try the next place first.
The villagers who followed the well diggers had a smile on their faces. They managed to build two wells in one morning. At this rate, there would soon be enough wells on the north slope for them to water their fields.
It was time to go back for dinner at noon, but news came from the village that a leader came to inspect and asked them to wait for a live demonstration.
Zhou Kui and others looked at the two old men who came. After knowing that they were leaders, they were a little nervous.
Yang Xiaotao went to help personally, and everyone became quiet.
Mr. Tao looked at the well-drilling machine, and there was still soil on the drill bit.
Mr. Xia was staring at the steam engine on the groundcar. Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning were explaining, and Mr. Xia kept nodding.
"Mr. Tao, let's give it a try."
Gao Yufeng asked, Mr. Tao nodded and moved away.
Yang Xiaotao understood, and then Zhou Kui began to operate. Wang Jun looked at the pressure of the steam engine and added coal at any time.
The drill drilled rapidly on the ground, and balls of soil splashed around.
Zhou Kui was a little nervous and lowered the drill bit too quickly.
There were noises all around, and several people stared without speaking.
In the brigade headquarters, Ran Qiuye was busy with the women in the village, folding the rolled out noodles one by one. Women had already cut the noodles one by one with kitchen knives. The gray-white noodles were kneaded so hard that they immediately fell into pieces after being cut. Shrink, pull away from each other.
After cutting one piece, the woman pinches a handful of flour with her hands, sprinkles it on it, and then shakes it again. The noodles spread out, shake in mid-air, and then put them on the grate aside.
Ran Qiuye was cutting potatoes on the side, and Yang Dazhuang's family was cutting pig skin on the side.
Several women were talking about today's events together. They were well-informed and knew that the people coming this time were not simple, and they also knew who they were here for.
"Teacher Ran, your man is really awesome."
A woman was playing very fast with a kitchen knife, looking at Ran Qiuye with envy and happiness on her face.
"Hongye Mom, that is not just Teacher Ran's man, he is also a young man from our village."
The woman on the other side who was boiling water smiled and even teased Ran Qiuye, "We Yangjiazhuang is out Such a handsome young man was kidnapped by you, you have to compensate us."
"Hahaha"
Ran Qiuye smiled, "Third aunt, you have to do this. How to compensate? ”
The third aunt said happily, "No need for anything else. When your boy grows up, he can marry my second daughter." .”
After saying this, several other women were around. She was unhappy and said, "Her third aunt, you are making a lot of noise with your calculations, and now you are following me." "That's right, Teacher Ran, please don't agree to it."
< br>"No, the third aunt just thinks too much."
Several women attacked in a group, and the third aunt couldn't stand it any longer. "I said what are you in a hurry for? I just said, look at you, as if you have eaten me."
"Don't. I thought I didn’t know what you were paying attention to.”
< br>"If you ask me, this teacher Ran can still give birth. If you stand in the back, you can always catch a golden son-in-law."
Everyone listened and laughed again. This said that the third aunt was right. , that one made Teacher Ran quickly add two more, which made Ran Qiuye’s ears turn red.
These old ladies dare to say anything.
But she didn't refute what they said. She also wanted to have a few more children so that they could spread their wings for Yang Xiaotao.
"The water is out."
As Yang Youning's excited voice sounded, several people around him came over to check it out, regardless of the dust and the choking dust.
The leader came closer, reached out and squeezed a handful of mud, "How many meters is this?"
"Eight meters."
Liu Huaimin accurately reported the number, and he started to remember it when he added the tube just now.
“How long?”
“Thirty-two minutes in total.”
This time it was Gao Yufeng who answered.
Mr. Xia and Mr. Tao came over, looked at each other for a while, and both nodded.
Yang Xiaotao asked Zhou Kui to continue, select the correct position of the drill bit, and work again.
Mr. Xia and his superiors came to the ground train and looked at the steam engine again.
"Is this a pressure gauge?"
The leader asked, Wang Jun, who was operating on the side, was so nervous that he could not speak. Yang Youning wanted to go up to explain, but Liu Huaimin pulled him back and asked Yang Xiaotao to Go up.
Yang Youning understood and winked quickly.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao didn't show any modesty. He designed this thing so there is no pressure to talk about it.
"Chief, leader. This is the pressure gauge, which mainly represents the pressure inside."
He walked to the pressure gauge and explained, "This pointer returns to zero when it is not working, and the working pressure is normal. In the middle position."
"This The red line represents the limit. If it exceeds this limit, it means the danger increases and you need to be careful."
The two nodded and Mr. Xia smiled, "I didn't expect a pressure gauge to reflect so much. Question. Did you design this?”
"No, I found this pressure gauge from the steel rolling mill. I want to borrow it."
Yang Xiaotao said seriously.
"Well, as long as it can be used."
The superior leader nodded and said, "Comrade Yang Xiaotao, do you know the maximum horsepower of this steam engine?"
"This , unclear.”
"Then how big do you think it will be?"
Yang Xiaotao looked at Liu Huaimin. They should know, but no one told him. Is there something wrong?
Immediately, I said the answer I calculated in my heart, "It should be fifteen horsepower."
Hearing this, Mr. Xia laughed with his superiors.
Mr. Xia walked aside and found a piece of grass to sit down on.
Several people from the steel rolling mill gathered around, and Mr. Tao from the other side also led people over.
After a while, everyone formed a circle.
Yang Xiaotao was pushed forward by Yang Youning and sat in front of Mr. Xia.
“You don’t know, the horsepower of this steam engine has reached thirty, unexpected.”
“Thirty?”
Yang Xiaotao was startled, then looked at Yang Youning aside, and when he saw the other person nodded, he realized why Mr. Xia and Mr. Tao were back.
If it were a simple well-drilling machine, it would at most play a role in agriculture.
But a powerful steam engine can be very useful.
"How about it? Our designer is beyond expectations."
Mr. Tao laughed, and the people around him smiled knowingly.
Yang Xiaotao picked up a small stone on the ground and pinched it, "This is indeed a bit unexpected. However, it is also expected."
"Oh? Tell me how it was expected?"
Xia Interested, Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately.
He casually drew on the ground with stones, and soon the general structure of the steam engine was drawn.
“The principle of a steam engine is very simple, and anyone with an education experience will understand it.
"We know that there are cylinders, pistons, etc., but how to combine them for reciprocating motion? How to combine connecting rods, valves, pipes... to make them work?"
"What should the cylinder look like and its size? , how big is the piston cross-section, these all need to be calculated.”
“Without calculation and understanding of the efficiency of steam expansion, we cannot make the most suitable steam engine, and we cannot exert the maximum power of the steam engine.”
Yang Xiaotao pointed to the structure on the ground and said, Everyone on the sidelines was attracted to Yang Xiaotao, whether they understood or not.
Liu Huaimin, who had some knowledge, understood what Yang Xiaotao meant after he finished speaking, "You mean, your design can maximize the efficiency of the steam engine, so it can reach thirty horsepower? ”
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao nodded first and then shook his head.
"Secretary, the fact that this steam engine can reach thirty horsepower is indeed related to precise calculations, but the steam engine I designed is not optimal."
Several people were surprised, all of them were better than others The steam engine is so much more powerful, is it still the best?
How much horsepower can the optimal steam engine get?
Yang Xiaotao knew very well that when he originally designed the steam engine, the system's evaluation of the design was only good, not excellent.
"There are many factors that determine the quality of a steam engine. The design, materials, component processing, fuel used, machine maintenance, and the use of other safety components will all affect the efficiency of the steam engine."
Xia Lao finished listening. , glanced at Mr. Tao, and both of them could see in their eyes that Yang Xiaotao was very knowledgeable in this area.
