Chapter 209 Years of the past
"Professor Zhao, are you going to ask for someone?" After hearing Zhao Rusong's question, Lu Jiadong was a little surprised, but Zhao Rusong nodded affirmatively:
"That's right! I'm here to inquire!"
In fact, Zhao Rusong had wanted to inquire about his old friend from Lu Jiadong and other people who were seconded from the Guixi Provincial Military Factory in the morning. However, the single-soldier portable rocket launcher was tight and the task was heavy. After entering the development team, Zhao Rusong devoted almost all his energy to the development of the portable rocket launcher, so after a while, the matter he was temporarily stranded.
Now most of the development tasks of the 80mm portable single-soldier rocket launcher have been completed, and the new large-caliber long-range artillery on the other side has also entered the substantive project demonstration stage. After weighing the overall equipment development, the General Staff Equipment, the National Defense Science and Technology Commission and the G Military Region have weighed the overall equipment development.
Finally, he decided to transfer Lu Jiadong back to Wanshan Factory to preside over the development of a new large-caliber long-range artillery project. For this reason, Lu Jiadong officially took off his position as chief designer of a portable rocket launcher and handed over the subsequent development of this weapon and equipment to Zhao Rusong so that he could devote himself to the development of a new large-caliber long-range artillery!
But just as Zhao Rusong took over the position of chief designer of a single portable rocket launcher, and Lu Jiadong and others who were seconded by Wanshan Factory were about to pack up and return to Wanshan Factory, Zhao Rusong suddenly remembered his old friend's affairs, but he did not go to Lu Jiadong first, but asked his student Hu Qinghua first.
After all, Hu Qinghua also works in a military factory in the southwest, and maybe he should know some things, but Zhao Rusong was disappointed when asked. Although Hu Qinghua was in the Red Star Factory before, he was transferred to Wanshan Factory now, he only focused on technology and was not interested in human relationships and gossip history. In addition, he was a little arrogant, so the social circle was very narrow. He had no impression of the people asked by Zhao Rusong, so it was normal to not know about it after asking.
Although Hu Qinghua didn't know, he also pointed out a clear way for Zhao Rusong, that is, to find Lu Jiadong. According to Hu Qinghua, Lu Jiadong is not only one of the best in technology, but also has outstanding features in dealing with people and communication. In addition, Lu Jiadong also has good connections in the military system of Guixi Province. Maybe he can get a better answer when asked.
After hearing Hu Qinghua's words, Zhao Rusong also remembered the advice of his wife when he left home, so he made up his mind to ask Lu Jiadong, but he originally planned to ask at a special farewell banquet for Lu Jiadong tonight, but unexpectedly, Lu Jiadong's itinerary was suddenly ahead of schedule and was about to set off after noon. Zhao Rusong, who received the news, quickly pulled Hu Qinghua to Lu Jiadong to ask what was going on!
"This person is my old friend many years ago, and it can also be said to be my benefactor of Zhao Rusong! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be my present today!" Zhao Rusong said sincerely, and when he said "old friend" and "benefactor", the layers of wrinkles trembled a few times, and a hint of expectation appeared in his eyes:
"So I must find him! I heard that he was assigned to a military factory in the southwest, so I would like to ask Jiadong, have you ever heard of such a person?"
"Professor Zhao, don't worry, let's sit down and talk!" Lu Jiadong has always respected older technical experts like Zhao Rusong. If they have problems or difficulties, they will try their best to help them solve the problem as long as Lu Jiadong can do it. Because of this, although there is not much time left before departure, Lu Jiadong did not refuse. Instead, he politely asked Zhao Rusong to sit down, and then poured him a glass of water and handed it over:
"Professor Zhao, what's the name of the person you are talking about?"
After sitting down, Zhao Rusong also knew that Lu Jiadong had limited time. Although Lu Jiadong looked as usual, Liu Liang, who was standing beside him, kept raising his arms and looking at his watch, with an anxious look on his face. Zhao Rusong is actually a typical technical mate. He is not as specialized and smart as ordinary people in dealing with people. But this does not mean that he does not understand the truth. Seeing Liu Liang's anxious expression, how could he not understand it? So when Lu Jiadong finished speaking, he couldn't help but say regretfully:
"Jiadong, am I... a little abrupt!"
"Professor Zhao, just say that I have enough time and I can't delay anything!" Lu Jiadong said, with a confident and bright smile on his face. After hearing Lu Jiadong's words, Zhao Rusong couldn't help but look at Lu Jiadong gratefully:
"Jiadong, I..."
"Professor Zhao, take your time and drink some water before talking!" Seeing Zhao Rusong hesitating, Lu Jiadong continued to comfort him. Zhao Rusong worked with Lu Jiadong for more than half a year, especially the two of them completed the research on the portable rocket launch method together. Therefore, Zhao Rusong knew Lu Jiadong very well, so after listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Zhao Rusong no longer hesitated, but continued to say with some expectations:
"His name is Yang Hongyi!"
"Yang Hongyi?" After hearing this strange name, Lu Jiadong's dark brows frowned together, but Zhao Rusong did not stop, but took another sip of tea, moistened his throat and continued:
"Actually, although I knew Yang Hongyi earlier, I couldn't be very familiar with each other. It was not until we were both named rightists and arranged to study in the labor farm to renovate and study, that we both knew each other and became good friends..."
Zhao Rusong's eyes were filled with tears, telling the story of Yang Hongyi many years ago. It turned out that Yang Hongyi was not an ordinary person, but one of the founders of China's aerodynamics and aerodynamics. In his early years, he studied in Europe and the United States to learn advanced aviation technology knowledge. After the founding of New China, he resolutely refused the high salary of many American aviation giants to retain it, and returned to the newly established New China with the dream of "aerospace prospering the country".
Although China's overall aviation industry level could be described as poor and indifferent at that time, Yang Hongyi did not get discouraged. Instead, he made up his mind to start bit by bit and gradually established China's aviation industry from scratch. China's first self-produced propeller aircraft, the first jet aircraft, the localization of the J-6 fighter jet, the initial design and demonstration plan for the strong 5 striker aircraft, and other landmark events like China's aviation industry, all of which can be seen!
Because of this, after China's projected J-9 fighter jet in the 1960s, its superior appointed Yang Hongyi, who had been transferred to Southwest Airlines as the chief designer. However, the J-9 project has not been carried out for a long time, and the country has entered a special period. Many military-industry restricted projects have been hit to varying degrees, and the J-9 project is no exception. Not only that, because Yang Hongyi's family is relatively high, he was labeled as a rightist and forced to transfer from the position of J-9 chief designer and assigned to a labor farm in northern Hubei for learning and transformation.
There, Zhao Rusong and Yang Hongyi met. They worked during the day and did not forget to discuss some military technology issues at night. Not long after, the two became good friends who could talk about everything. However, there were unexpected events in the world and people would be lucky every day. Not long after, something happened to Yang Hongyi.
Speaking of which, the cause of this incident was because of Zhao Rusong's strange temper, especially when he was young. After coming to the labor farm, he contradicted the leader and complained behind his back. The leaders of the labor farm had long been disgusted with him, but because of Zhao Rusong's eloquence and not getting a solid handle, there was no way to deal with him for the time being.
However, once this seed of revenge is planted, it will inevitably take root and sprout and eventually bear fruit. The effort really pays off. During a surprise inspection, the farm leader discovered the poems and essays written by Zhao Rusong in a daily inspection. The contents in it were definitely a complete counter-revolution according to the standards at that time.
The farm leader who had long been disgusted with Zhao Rusong's handwritten manuscript was as if he had gained a treasure. He immediately took the militia and wanted to arrest Zhao Rusong. At that time, Zhao Rusong had already made the worst plan and even thought of committing suicide. However, when he waited in the dormitory for a whole day, no one who arrested him came.
Zhao Rusong was very surprised and couldn't help but go to someone else to ask what happened. Only then did he find out that just before the farm leader was about to take action, Yang Hongyi suddenly stood up and took all the manuscripts on him. The farm leader didn't believe it at the time, but Yang Hongyi picked up his brush and wrote a few words, exactly the same as the handwriting on the manuscript.
Although the leaders of the labor farm knew in their heart that Yang Hongyi might be pushing the jar for others, due to face and conclusive evidence, the leaders of the labor farm could only hold the counter-revolutionary hat on Yang Hongyi, holding the idea that he would rather kill the wrong person than let go, and finally escorted Yang Hongyi to the local revolutionary committee overnight for treatment!
"Just two days after Yang Hongyi was taken away, we military technicians who were concentrated on transformation and learning received a notice from our superiors and returned to their respective jobs, but Yang Hongyi... two days, just two days..." As he said that, Zhao Rusong's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and tears that had been held back for a long time burst out, so that he had to stop, take out a handkerchief from his pocket, wipe the tears from his cheeks, and then continued:
"Later, I found out that Yang Hongyi was taken to the local revolutionary committee, and was rescued by the local military division leaders. Because the environment was not stable at that time, he was assigned to a military factory in Guixi Province for the purpose of protection. But so many years have passed, and I and the military division leaders of that year have visited Guixi more than once, but Yang Hongyi seems to have evaporated from the world and can't find it no matter how hard I look for it. So I came this time just to ask Jiadong, Jiadong, to inquire about it, and see if there is someone like Yang Hongyi!"
