Chapter 1054: Lao Xia, you’re a liar
When it was time to get off work, everyone finally remembered what happened in the belly, and then went to the steel plant cafeteria to eat.
After finishing eating, it was already evening, and everyone went to the liquid oxygen workshop again to check the situation.
In this half-afternoon, the compressor has found its optimal working condition under the debugging of the workers, and the liquid oxygen produced has filled more than half of the large tank.
Of course, as you become more proficient, this output will increase.
But being able to produce so much in such a short period of time made Mr. Xia smile.
More importantly, this machine does not need to be shut down after working for a few hours like Jinling.
To put it bluntly, if the machine breaks down, it will be fine. If it is useless, the machine shop can make another one.
This situation makes Mr. Xia eager to report the news to Mr. Huang, and also wants others to see that this is the strength of the machinery factory.
Before leaving, Mr. Xia asked the steel plant when the oxygen top-blown converter would be commissioned. After Yang Xiaotao asked An Zhongsheng and others for their opinions, he replied that it could be done at any time.
The liquid oxygen produced today, plus tonight's supply, can fully support the top-blowing experiment.
After hearing this, Zhen Lao thought about it for a moment, and finally decided to put the experiment date on the day after tomorrow.
Yang Xiaotao and others didn't know why, but since Mr. Xia said it, it must be something to consider.
After Mr. Xia left, Yang Xiaotao asked the steel plant to continue producing liquid oxygen, while paying attention to its storage. This thing has many uses, and it will always be useful if it is stored.
As for the liquid oxygen storage tank, Yang Xiaotao also looked at it. There is no technical difficulty. The steel plant can make it by itself, saving a lot of work.
Guan Zhiyong also saw that this liquid oxygen manufacturing workshop would be an important industry of their steel plant in the future. I am also very concerned about it at the moment.
On the other side, it was already dark when Xia Xian returned to the No. 1 Machinery Department, but the excitement in his heart made him not think too much, so he picked up the phone and made a call.
After a while, Mr. Huang’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
At first, I couldn’t believe it. After repeated confirmations, there was a moment of silence on the phone, and then I left a sentence, “Wait until I get back!”
Xia Lao hung up the phone and then On the chair, light a cigarette, smoke it comfortably, and then blow out smoke rings.
The next day, Mr. Xia just arrived at the First Machinery Department and was blocked at the door of the office by two people before he even entered.
Mr. It was Mr. Sun who had competed with Mr. Xia. He was smiling sinisterly and constantly looking at Mr. Xia.
Mr.
"Lao Xia, people in the Ming Dynasty don't do secret things. Please talk about this private matter quickly, otherwise don't blame the old brothers for taking action."
Xia Lao felt a sudden thought, but his face looked serious. "What are you doing? Why are you telling me?"
"Old man Really, it’s boring for you to do this. I really think you guys don’t know!”
“What do you know?” Mr. Xia asked quietly, thinking to himself, could it be that Lao Huang told the two of them? < br>
Or a machinery factory.
Mr. Sun on the side laughed and said, "Yesterday there were so many people in the machinery factory, and they drove several trucks pulling a bunch of things. Why don't you go to the steel factory with great fanfare?"
Mr. Xia immediately laughed. When I got up, I thought something was wrong Where is the traitor!
“Oh, this is what you are talking about!”
“Otherwise, who else?”
“Haha, let’s go into the room and talk, go into the room and talk Ah.”
Mr. Xia stopped struggling, and the two of them followed him into the house.
Just before Mr. Xia could speak, Mr. Sun asked first, "Lao Xia, are there any new methods that need to be tested?"
What Mr. Sun was talking about was the oxygen top-blown converter. Fa, because of the Gemini Project launched by the Machinery Factory recently, many people in their First Machinery Department are talking about it, and some even say that the Metallurgical Bureau is also experimenting with this new technology.
Old Sun and the others are naturally in charge of many steel plants. Although they are not big, they do not want to distance themselves.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that within the First Machinery Department today, everyone is no longer as good as before, and no one is much stronger or weaker.
Because of the strong rise of the machinery factory, it not only broke the balance of the key factories of the First Machinery Department, but also put a lot of pressure on the people in charge of them.
Especially seeing Lao Xia’s life getting better and better, if he wants to avoid being distanced, he has to find a way.
But the change in this industry cannot be completed overnight, unless they also have a 'Red Star Machinery Factory'.
But this is impossible.
Lao Xia's foundation has been laid. As long as there is enough time to develop, the distance between them will become wider and wider.
That's why they came to ask. Even if they couldn't be the first one, they could still finish the soup after them.
After Mr. Sun finished speaking, Mr. Li also laughed, "Lao Xia, are you all ready?"
"Yes, when will you test drive?"
Mr. Xia sat down on the chair slowly and took out a cigarette, but did not take out a fire. When Mr. Sun saw it, he quickly took out a match from his pocket and lit it.
Then he said slowly, "I went yesterday to deliver the equipment. After testing, there is no problem. It will be officially used tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? So soon?"
"It's fast. It's been delayed for more than a month. If Yang Xiaotao hadn't been on a business trip, it would have been done long ago."
Xia Laoyou said He said dissatisfiedly, but in their ears they were full of praise and pride.
The two looked at each other and said, "Lao Xia, let's go and have a look tomorrow."
"Welcome, warm welcome. By the way, Lao Huang will also be back. Then we will Let’s go together.”
"Old Huang will come too? Isn't he in the clouds? So far away."
"I called him last night and said it was today's flight."
The two talked to each other again Take a quick look, if you don’t know for sure, would this guy Huang be willing to fly?
You have to apply to fly these days, and leaders, even at Lao Huang's level, have to travel a lot.
“Hey hey”
"Lao Xia, let's discuss something."
Mr. Sun moved a chair to Mr. Xia.
"Don't, there's definitely nothing good going on with you being so attentive. Stay away from me."
"Let me tell you, you can't think better."
“It’s hard for me to think positively about you.”
Mr. Xia said unceremoniously, and Mr. Sun took a deep breath, and then still smiled.
"You can help me if you agree to the terms."
Now Mr. Xia became interested, but he still moved his chair to distance himself, "What kind of favor do you want to do first?"
"Old Li, tell him."
Old Sun was speechless and could only let Old Li speak.
"Lao Xia, Lao Sun and I want to give us a set of what you did yesterday."
"That's it?"
"Ah, that's it." "Okay!"
Xia Lao rolled his eyes and agreed.
Both of them laughed, and then heard Mr. Xia continue to speak, "But the quota for the next batch of college students belongs to both of you."
After hearing this, both of them froze.
College students in this era are rare. They will be assigned jobs after graduation, and the benefits are also very good.
However, college students have a lot of knowledge and their horizons are wide open, so they are also the focus of competition among various departments.
If you look at Yang Xiaotao of Hongxing Machinery Factory, you will know that one person’s ability suddenly turned the original steel rolling mill into the current machinery factory.
Who can guarantee that there won’t be the next ‘Yang Xiaotao’ among these college students?
So we attach great importance to the belonging of these college students.
The two of them weighed it in their minds, and finally Mr. Sun gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will give you all my quota."
But Mr. Sun thought thoroughly and got part of the machine. There are not many places for him, so it would be good if he could have three. Besides, the chance that one of the three has Yang Xiaotao's ability is estimated to be less than one in ten thousand.
Instead of taking chances, it is better to keep up with the express train in front of us and revitalize the industries under our command first.
"I'll give you mine too."
Mr. Li said happily.
Those college students were given to him, and he arranged them below. He might as well let Lao Xia arrange them, so that he could make the best use of his talents.
"Okay, then it's settled. When the test is successful, I will have someone help you."
Xia Lao was in a happy mood. In fact, it is probably not necessary for the two of them to say it. When I see the benefits, the higher-ups will also promote it.
It's just a matter of precedence.
The two of them confirmed again and again, and Mr. Xia left the office only after giving many assurances.
In the evening, Mr. Huang came back from the airport and immediately asked Mr. Xia to confirm.
The two men, Sun and Lao, who knew the situation in the office, were even more certain of their judgment.
After confirming it with Mr. Xia, Mr. Huang hurried back to the office and picked up the phone.
In the Third Machinery Department, Mr. Zhang is still having a headache about providing liquid oxygen.
Aerospace requires a large amount of alcohol and liquid oxygen as raw materials. Recently, experiments have been frequent, and the consumption has naturally increased sharply.
He has given instructions to Jinling that the 30 tons of liquid oxygen task must be completed within a week.
Although the other party once again emphasized the service life, maintenance and operation issues of the machine on the phone, this time he did not compromise and made very strict demands.
30 tons, cannot be completed, need to be replaced.
This was his last order, and all he could say on the phone was 'yes'.
Lingling
The phone rang suddenly. Mr. Zhang looked at the time. Who would call so late?
After picking it up, I heard Mr. Huang’s voice. Mr. Zhang was not polite and asked directly what was going on.
Then he heard news that shocked him.
After a while, Mr. Zhang's hands were shaking as he hung up the phone.
Hongxing Machinery Factory, has it manufactured an air compressor?
Has Hongxing Steel Plant produced liquid oxygen?
The two pieces of news immediately dispersed the sadness in his heart.
Sitting on the chair for a long time, Mr. Zhang suddenly laughed.
the next day.
After Yang Xiaotao got up, he first got something to eat. He went to the steel plant to test the car today. He didn’t know when he would have lunch.
After eating, Xiao Wei watched at home and drove to the machinery factory. Then he picked up Wang Guodong and Zhang Guanyu at the door, and then drove to the steel factory.
This was agreed upon yesterday, and we will meet directly at the steel plant in the morning.
When Yang Xiaotao and the others arrived at the steel plant, they found that Yang Youning and Liu Huaimin had already arrived.
It looks like I came quite early.
Yang Xiaotao greeted the two of them, and Yang Youning was busy directing people to set up the stage. Today’s happy event cannot be taken lightly.
There is also Liu Lixue, the director of the Publicity Section, following Yang Youning, who is being told something.
Yang Xiaotao did not bother and came to the experiment site and saw An Zhongsheng leading people to do the final inspection.
The oxygen gun has been installed long ago, and the liquid oxygen storage tank is also ready and can be inserted at any time.
Yang Xiaotao watched for a while and then returned to the greeting place.
Not long after, cheers came from outside, but it was the workers of the steel plant who lined the streets to welcome them.
Then several cars drove into the steel plant, then parked aside, and several people got out of the cars.
The leader was Mr. Huang from the First Machinery Department, and beside him was Mr. Zhang from the Third Machinery Department whom he had seen before.
The two walked forward side by side, followed by Xia Lao and others, and behind them were the personnel of the First Machinery Department. Among them, Director Liu of the office accompanied Tian Haipeng, and the two were talking and laughing.
But when he was joking, Tian Haipeng's face looked a little unnatural.
Yang Youning quickly led people to greet him.
After the two parties met, Yang Youning's plan was to give a brief chief's speech, and then move to the test workshop for the most important part of the day.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhang had an anxious face and spoke first, "I heard that you have produced liquid oxygen? Take me to see it."
Everyone was stunned, Mr. Huang smiled bitterly and said to this old man The squad leader had no choice but to be impatient. Now that the words had been spoken, he smiled and said to Yang Xiaotao, "Comrade Yang Xiaotao, I heard that you have made an air compressor, and you just want to take us to see it."
Yang Xiaotao reacted and nodded quickly.
"Two chiefs, please come this way."
As soon as the two people moved, the people behind them immediately followed.
Mr. Ah, is it possible that the equipment you shipped yesterday was not a converter? ”
Mr. Xia shook his sleeves, and then answered very seriously, "Yeah, I didn't say it was converter equipment?"
"But don't worry, since we have agreed, we will spit and nail. I will definitely give you this liquid oxygen manufacturing equipment.”
“I, Xia Chuanming, keep my word.”
After that, I followed the team.
The two people behind them opened their mouths wide.
Mr. Sun shouted angrily, "What a bastard, Lao Xia, you're a liar!"
