Chapter 898 Helplessness
The next day, after lunch, Yang Youning called Yang Xiaotao into the office again.
"Xiao Tao, the above instructions on the use of tungsten alloy have come down."
"Tungsten alloy has other uses, we do not agree with our request!"
Yang Xiaotao opened his mouth , the words that were on my mind came to my lips, and I finally swallowed them.
Perhaps, these tungsten alloys have more important uses.
After all, there are so many places needed these days.
"What about abroad? Can we try importing?"
Yang Xiaotao still refused to give up, but Yang Youning shook his head, "You also know the international situation, there is no import."
< br>“Besides, do we have the money to buy it?”
Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly, unwilling to give up.
China is such a big country, with vast land, abundant resources, and outstanding people.
Why is it so difficult to do something?
And he finally understood why some machines could not be manufactured domestically even though they had been around for so long and the principles were already available.
Now it seems that the design problem is only part of the problem.
What's more important is the lack of basic materials to meet production needs.
Just like a building, if the foundation is not stable, it cannot bear the high-rise buildings.
"Don't worry about it. If you don't have this one, just change it. Lao Chen said, we have quenched steel, which is not bad, and the hardness is not bad."
I can see that Yang Xiaotao is a little depressed. , Yang Youning could only comfort him.
Young people understand that it is easy to break when you are too strong.
"We must listen to people's advice and eat enough, and we must conform to the current national conditions."
"Although I also feel helpless, the situation is stronger than the people, and we have no choice."
Yang Youning comforted, and Yang Xiaotao nodded after listening.
“For now, this is the only way.”
Although I am very reluctant, the national conditions are such and the facts are such, I have to bow my head.
After leaving the office, Yang Xiaotao returned to the warehouse and found Chang Mingjie and Chen Bin to explain the situation.
"Team leader, if I use this kind of material, I can start work today."
"It's just this drawing design, do I need to re-test the feasibility?"
Chang Mingjie explained with the previously prepared drawings.
Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath. He also knew that if the materials were different, the design would have to be changed according to the situation.
Otherwise, using the previous data will only lead to differences or even problems.
However, Yang Xiaotao is still worried whether changes to the core data will affect other parts.
Even, the design drawings need to be completely torn down and rebuilt.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao had a headache.
I thought I could completely replicate the machine tool in the northwest, but now, changes must be made.
"Give me the drawings."
Yang Xiaotao put away the relevant drawings. Everyone in the warehouse also saw that something was wrong, but no one dared to come forward and ask.
After Yang Xiaotao left, everyone inquired about the news.
After knowing the situation, they all sighed.
Revolutionary construction is a heavy responsibility.
Back in the office, Yang Xiaotao sat in front of the table in a daze.
Lou Xiao'e walked in from the outside, glanced at Yang Xiaotao, wanted to say something, but in the end remained silent.
At noon, Yang Xiaotao left the steel rolling mill after eating. The children had finished their exams and he needed to send them back and pick up Ran Qiuye.
The exam was completed, and the due date was coming soon, Yang Xiaotao was not worried about Ran Qiuye being in the countryside, especially since she was pregnant with two this time, so it was best to go to the hospital for insurance.
Driving away from the steel rolling mill, Yang Youning and Chen Gong in the office sighed as they looked at the car leaving.
"It's a big blow!"
Chen Gong said calmly, with more helplessness in his words.
Who would have thought that something went wrong where it should least have happened.
“It’s not too small for anyone!”
“I asked Chang Mingjie and the others.”
Yang Youning looked at the car leaving and looked up at the hot sunshine, not a single cloud in sight.
"There is nothing wrong with Xiaotao's design. If it is replaced with other steel and the hardness does not meet the requirements, half of the function of the machine tool will be useless."
"The original idea is just a reflection of the mirror. Yue, don’t blame him for not being able to accept it.”
Don’t say Yang Xiaotao can’t accept it, even he can’t accept it.
Obviously it can be used as the ‘mother machine’ of the steel rolling mill to produce more machine tools!
The plan clearly lists a large number of uses, depicts a bright future, and realizes the leap forward of the steel rolling mill!
But now, it has to be discounted.
Those who discount together also want the honor they get.
After hearing this, Chen Gong slowly sat back on the chair.
"Old Yang, you said that even after more than ten years of liberation, the steelmaking plant has not made any progress?"
"I have been shouting all day long to work so much iron and produce so much steel. After working for a long time, I just yelled from below. At the critical moment, there will be no fire."
"You said we need resources. We have no shortage. South Tungsten mines are dug out every year, but why can’t they be made?”
Yang Youning also sighed, “Do you think it’s just playing tricks, a steel formula? After years of research, who is to blame?”
“For this matter, Mr. Xia asked the person in charge of the steel industry on the spot, where had the tens of millions invested by the state over the past ten years gone?”
< br>"Guess what, the person in charge was aggrieved and told a grudge, stretching out everything from raw materials to equipment to research and development. Mr. Xia didn't have anything to say."
"Whether it's a bad word or not, these people can't help it."
Chen Gong was speechless, and then the entire office was silent.
In Liu Huaimin’s office.
"Director Liu, what did the logistics department say?"
Across the way, Director Liu, who came from Mr. Xia, shook his head, "The logistics people still disagree."
"What's the reason? They have so many, what's the matter with spreading them evenly!"
"I didn't say the reason, but after Mr. Xia confirmed it with his superiors, he never asked again." "Perhaps, there is a special reason here. . ”
Director Liu thought of Mr. Xia’s momentary surprise when he hung up the phone, and then stopped mentioning it, knowing that there must be some unknown secret.
“Is there any other way?”
Liu Huaimin knew that things that even his level did not know must be important secrets and could not be asked.
But regarding the steel rolling mill, he still wants to work hard.
After all, that was the first code-named mission of the steel rolling mill. It ended in an anticlimactic manner and hurt morale.
Director Liu frowned after hearing this, "At present, some large domestic manufacturers may have inventory, but there is no guarantee, and if there is, it may not be much."
"I'll go back and make a call. Call and ask.”
Liu Huaimin nodded, but a haze rose in his mind, "How advanced is our tungsten refining technology? How many more years will it take?"
Director Liu lowered his head again, this is still a difficult question to answer.
“Foreign methods and technologies have always been kept secret. The Alliance only knows a plasma exchange method, but the specific operation has always been a secret.”
“Comrades have also conducted many experiments. , But, if there is a slight mistake in this thing, it will easily fail."
Liu Huaimin took a deep breath, feeling helpless.
This time, he did not expect that the production of a machine tool would expose so many problems.
Welding rods won’t work, alloys won’t work.
Even basic raw material extraction is not possible.
You know, that machine tool was produced decades ago, and it cannot even be copied in China.
It can be seen that the gap between China's basic industries and Western developed countries is still huge.
This also made Liu Huaimin finalize a direction in his mind, and he must build basic industry.
On the other side, Yang Xiaotao drove to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and the children were visiting the Agricultural Department under the leadership of Liu Yonghui and Li Lanxin.
Yang Xiaotao found the children and saw their relaxed smiling faces, which made him feel relieved.
"Teacher Yang, we have finished the exam."
"Teacher Yang, many of the questions are the same types we have done, and they are very simple."
"One more thing, Chinese composition, Teacher Ran is right, we have written it before."
When the children saw Yang Xiaotao coming, they rushed to greet them one after another, shouting one by one, and Liu Yonghui beside him also Unable to conceal my excitement.
After the exam, the children got together and told the answers again. According to his budget, it was better than what he imagined.
"Really? So everyone can get 100% in the exam?"
The children smiled and looked around. Although they didn't say anything, they all showed confident expressions.
Yang Xiaotao smiled, feeling relaxed at this moment.
This world has undergone many changes because of his arrival.
But at this moment, what made him most proud was the group of children in front of him.
Without his appearance, perhaps some of them would still be working in the fields, perhaps looking after their younger brothers and sisters at home, doing housework, or perhaps becoming illiterate farmers, and their lives would become ordinary.
Now, they have become students and embarked on a completely different path from their parents.
Their future will be bright.
And Yang Xiaotao, with his actions, changed the fate of these children.
Is there anything more worthy of pride than changing people's destiny?
"When we get home, I will buy you roast duck to eat!"
Yang Xiaotao said proudly, and the children beside him immediately jumped up, shouted loudly, and smiled even more.
Afterwards, Yang Xiaotao followed them and watched for a while in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Many children showed longing expressions, especially the bright offices. It must be wonderful to work in them.
After visiting the office, Yang Xiaotao asked the children to get on the car of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and return to Yangjiazhuang first.
He went to meet with Dean Deng. The two talked about corn in the northwest. It was mid-June and the 'detasseling' operation was about to be carried out. Gao Yufeng was still in the south and had not returned. Deng The dean meant that Yang Xiaotao should be prepared, maybe he would be asked to take action.
Yang Xiaotao originally wanted to refuse, but this time the children agreed with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the progress of the lathe was slow. After hesitating for a while, he nodded and agreed.
However, he could not guarantee that he would be able to go. After all, there were too many things to do and his wife was still at home, so he asked the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to make two preparations.
Dean Deng nodded in agreement, mentally calculating that this was the right move to help the child.
After leaving the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Yang Xiaotao fulfilled his promise to the children and drove to Quanjude. He spent money to buy three roast ducks. No matter how many people bought them, they would not sell them. This was still Yang Xiaotao's excuse and he used the steel rolling mill. I only got three of them.
Of course, three roast ducks were not enough to eat. Yang Xiaotao also took out seven or eight old hams from the space, which were all old stocks.
Recently, I have to upgrade my credits, and there are few things to exchange for them.
Back in Yangjiazhuang, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Yang Xiaotao came to school carrying the roast duck.
At this moment, Mr. Yang was leading a group of teachers in the classroom to listen to the children talking about the exam. Teacher Hong and Ran Qiuye were holding notebooks to note down. This was the first time Yangjiazhuang Primary School had taken the exam. They wrote down these notes. It will be better to prepare for the next exam in the future.
Yang Xiaotao entered the teacher carrying something and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Especially the roast duck wrapped in oil paper, because Yang Xiaotao placed it in the space, it is still mild and fragrant when it is taken out.
"I promised the children to eat roast duck, look, I did it."
Yang Xiaotao smiled and raised the roast duck, stretched out his hands to the children, and the classroom screamed.
Others didn't care when they saw it. They all knew that Yang Xiaotao could earn it. Ordinary people might not be able to part with this little thing, as it would break their muscles and bones.
But Yang Xiaotao has a deep family background.
Of course, it also depends on who you give it to.
If nothing else, Yang Xiaotao spared no effort to support the school, from textbooks to pencils, from teaching materials to daily life, and even provided scholarships every year. This kind of investment is not to mention supported by the children. The villagers also treat me sincerely.
"Teacher Yang, your strategy for answering questions is really great."
Teacher Hong smiled and stepped forward to take a piece of ham. He weighed it in his hands, but he couldn't find a suitable word.
“It’s a trick, right?”
Yang Xiaotao smiled and said the answer, and everyone laughed.
"Although it's a trick, it's a good method that works. We can't tell anyone, we have to keep it secret."
Teacher Zhang replied with a smile, making everyone in the room excited. Nod in the affirmative.
Compared with those in the city, these children are already at a disadvantage at the starting line. Some of them have only attended school for two years. There is a natural gap between them and those who have received education since childhood.
Use some means, or means that are beneficial to them, they don't care.
When you go to junior high school, you still learn the same things.
