"Okay, that's it for today. It's just the first experiment. Failure is success. Don't be discouraged."
After two days of busy work, the first experiment finally ended in failure. Li Donglai looked at the researchers who were a little frustrated and clapped his hands to encourage everyone.
"Zhang Qingcui, you will organize people to prepare the experimental equipment needed for tomorrow later. Other comrades can get off work now."
Zhang Qingcui nodded and said: "Doctor Li, don't worry, the ministry has sent another batch of equipment today, which is enough for us and will not delay tomorrow's experiment."
Li Donglai nodded, remembering what happened in the courtyard, so he didn't stay in the laboratory much.
He put on his canvas bag and was about to leave, but was stopped by a researcher: "Team Leader Li, I want to work for a while longer at night, do you think that's okay?"
Li Donglai recognized this person and said with a smile: "Professor Li Chunyang, I can understand your mood. In fact, all the researchers in our laboratory, including me, want to develop second-generation cephalosporins as soon as possible, but scientific research does not happen overnight.
Worrying about things will only get half the result with half the effort. You'd better have a good rest, and wait until tomorrow to freshen up our energy and launch another attack on the enemy."
"....Okay." Seeing Li Donglai's determined expression, Li Chunyang had no choice but to give up his plan to work overtime.
Li Donglai knew that many researchers in the laboratory had the same idea. He grabbed Buffett who was about to go wandering around the campus and said: "Baby, I give you a task. You will live on campus until after dinner."
Later, I went to the laboratory and found out that some researchers were secretly working overtime, so I kicked them out."
Buffett rubbed his hands and said: "Don't worry, I will complete the task. When I was at the Asli Research Institute, I thought I was an overtime maniac. I even gave up my lunch break at noon and continued research in the laboratory.
When I was in Hong Kong City, Comrade Zhang Qingcui told me that researchers in the Beijing laboratory often work overtime, but I didn't care.
Isn’t it just working overtime? I can’t be afraid.
After I came here, I really saw the working attitude of those researchers, and I would like to say that their kind of overtime work is inhumane."
Good guy, I just gave you a task, do you need to rise to the height of morality?
If the country had plundered a large amount of wealth and talents from all over the world a hundred years ago, the people would not need to work so hard.
Cursing, Li Donglai left the laboratory. Just as he was about to push his bicycle to leave, he saw a familiar figure wandering around the corner in the distance.
He pushed the bicycle to turn around, walked over quietly, and shouted: "Gu Shen, what are you doing here?"
Gu Shen was startled, and a white paper box he was holding fell to the ground.
The box seemed to contain something important. Gu Shen quickly picked it up and then raised his head.
Seeing that it was Li Donglai, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Donglai, do you know that you almost scared me to death just now? Are you off work?"
As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe and looked behind Li Donglai over his shoulder, as if he was looking for someone.
Li Donglai asked: "What are you doing here? Waiting for someone?"
Gu Shen's eyes flickered: "Waiting for no one, just wandering around. I heard that the scenery in Beijing University is very good, so I thought of taking a look around."
Li Donglai absolutely did not believe this reason.
Gu Shen is the director of the food station, responsible for purchasing pigs and supplying meat to the capital. Although he does not have a lot of things to do every day, he does not have the time to enjoy the scenery.
Li Donglai's eyes fell on the cardboard box: "What's inside?"
"Nothing!" Gu Shen quickly hid the box behind his back.
Seeing Gu Shen's mysterious look, Li Donglai didn't want to ask any more questions and said with a smile: "Okay, you can enjoy the scenery here, I have to get off work."
After Li Donglai left, Gu Shen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled bitterly and murmured to himself: "Tell me, if my brother knew that he was chasing a girl, would he laugh at me?"
After finishing his words, Gu Shen turned his attention to the door of the laboratory again.
One researcher came out, two researchers came out... shouting, and a foreigner came out... Why didn't she come out?
After waiting for half an hour, Gu Shen finally saw that pretty figure.
He did not dare to step forward directly, but followed the girl secretly and walked through the campus for a while.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Gu Shen walked around to the girl and took out the white paper box behind him: "Comrade Zhang Qingcui, happy birthday."
Zhang Qingcui was startled, and when she saw it was Gu Shen, she said angrily: "How did you know that today is my birthday?"
Gu Shen smiled and said, "You have forgotten that my old man and Secretary Zhang are old friends. You can't find out such a trivial matter."
Zhang Qingcui waved her hand: "I don't accept gifts for my birthday, please take them back quickly."
Gu Shen was anxious and hurriedly opened the box: "This is chocolate. I asked someone to bring it back from the port city. It is specially given to you. I heard that in the West, chocolate is a symbol of sweetness."
He was embarrassed to say the word 'love'.
Zhang Qingcui said angrily: "Gu Shen, be careful what you say and put this thing away quickly. If someone sees it, you might be in trouble."
Looking at the big boy-like food station manager in front of her, Zhang Qingcui had a headache.
After returning from Hong Kong City, Zhang Qingcui was taken on a blind date by her aunt, and the blind date was Gu Shen.
Gu Shen came from a good background and worked in a good company. He was the head of the food station at a young age. This achievement was rare even among the big boys in the capital.
If it were an ordinary girl, she would definitely consider it carefully.
However, Zhang Qingcui had already decided to devote her life to scientific research and was not interested in getting married.
Even if I want to get married, I will find a scientific researcher.
For example, Li Donglai.
It is a pity that Li Donglai is already married, and Ding Qiunan is still Zhang Qingcui's good friend.
Zhang Qingcui can't do that shitty thing of robbing a good friend's man.
Therefore, Zhang Qingcui rejected Gu Shen at that time, saying that she had no plans to find a partner at the moment.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! My aunt knew Zhang Qingcui's temper and did not make things difficult for her.
Who would have thought that after Gu Shen returned home, he would never forget this unearthly girl.
As the oldest boy in the courtyard, many girls show their affection to him on weekdays.
There were also some with good figures and faces among them, but Gu Shen knew clearly that those girls were interested in his family background.
But Zhang Qingcui was different. During the chat between the two, Zhang Qingcui always put herself on an equal footing.
This was the first time Gu Shen had seen such a girl.
What's even more rare is that Mr. Gu also asked someone to inquire about Zhang Qingcui and was very satisfied with the marriage.
When Gu Shen saw that Li Donglai had a wife and children, he also decided to put down his dignity and start chasing women.
However, looking at Zhang Qingcui walking away, Gu Shen felt that this task seemed a bit difficult.
After stuffing the bitter chocolate into his mouth, Gu Shen decided to ask Li Dong for advice.
------------------
Li Donglai rode his bicycle and instead of going home directly, he turned to the power supply bureau.
The TV I brought back from Hong Kong City a while ago and the washing machine are really easy to use, especially the washing machine. Put the clothes in and let it buzz for half an hour, and the dirty clothes will become clean. Ding Qiunan no longer has to risk it.
I rubbed my clothes in the cold water in the cold wind.
However, after using it a few times, Li Donglai discovered a small problem.
While the washing machine is spinning, the light bulbs throughout the hospital will flash and some will even go out.
Although Li Donglai was not a student in the physics department, he relied on his knowledge of electricity from junior high school physics to see the problem through the phenomenon.
That is, the voltage in the courtyard is unstable.
It seems reasonable to think that the courtyard house does not have an independent transformer, but shares the transformer with the surrounding blocks. One transformer has to carry the power of thousands of residents, and it is indeed difficult to load high-power appliances such as washing machines.
Two days ago, Li Donglai had submitted an application to the subdistrict office, asking them to coordinate with the power supply bureau to install another transformer in the Siheyuan neighborhood.
Although the transformers are very tight these days, considering the actual situation in the Siheyuan neighborhood, the comrades from the subdistrict office actively provided feedback to the power supply bureau.
Just now when Li Donglai was working in the laboratory, he received a call from Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office.
During the phone call, Director Wang said that the Power Supply Bureau had agreed to add a transformer to the Siheyuan block, and asked Li Donglai to take the time to assist the comrades of the Power Supply Bureau in installing the transformer in the Siheyuan.
The power supply station is located outside Xizhimen. The house is similar to a courtyard house, an old-fashioned courtyard house. But maybe for the convenience of entering the car, the door has been remodeled, the doorway is much wider, and the steps have been removed.
After Li Donglai asked the director's office location at the door, he walked straight into the courtyard.
Knocking on the director's door, a middle-aged man was sitting at his desk smoking.
"Director Liu, right?" Li Donglai came inside, pulled out a cigarette and handed it to him: "I am the master of the courtyard, and I am here to install the transformer."
Director Liu quickly stood up, took the cigarette and said, "Are you Dr. Li from the laboratory of Beijing University? Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you."
Li Donglai was a little surprised to hear that Director Liu actually knew his name. He had worked in two units and had never had any contact with the power supply bureau.
Director Liu seemed to notice his surprise and explained with a smile: "A while ago, I went to the ministry to hold a symposium. In the conference room, the leader explained your touching deeds to us and asked us to learn from you.
Carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardships and difficulties, and work hard!"
At this time, Li Donglai finally understood.
These days, the power supply is tight, and important equipment like transformers are even more in short supply.
At first, he just wanted to give it a try and asked the subdistrict office to install a transformer.
It seems that a large part of the reason why the request was approved was because of his reputation.
....
Sure enough, no matter what era you are in, fame is a kind of power.
In previous lives, stars could rely on their fame to appear in movies and earn millions in remuneration.
Internet celebrities can also run live broadcasts to sell goods and earn commissions. Well, if they don't evade taxes, they can also make a lot of money.
In this era, fame is more like a key and a talisman.
The key can allow you to accomplish things that ordinary people cannot do, and the amulet can help you resist the malicious slander of others.
....
"Dr. Li, after receiving the application from the sub-district office, our power supply office conducted an on-site inspection of the Siheyuan neighborhood. We found that the lines there are indeed old and the voltage supply is insufficient. So your application has been approved. Look, when
When we have time, we can go to work on construction."
"Of course, the earlier the better. I have nothing to do in the lab this afternoon, is that okay?"
"Of course! You are so busy, I can't waste your time. The transformer has been ready for a long time. I will notify the construction team immediately."
Because of this relationship, Director Liu acted very proactively and picked up the phone to talk to the comrades of the construction team.
These days, the electric power construction team in Beijing still rides the three-bengzi type, which burns fuel.
After starting up, the roaring sound and the black smoke coming from the rear are very attractive.
As soon as the construction team arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, the residents in the courtyard noticed it.
The first one to run out was Yan Bugui. When he saw the transformer on the three bungs, his eyes were stunned.
"Master, where did you get such a big transformer? There's a lot of copper in it, can it be sold for a lot of money?"
Good guy, he is worthy of being the third uncle who shakes his legs even when mosquitoes fly over him. When he sees anything, his first thought is to change it for money.
Li Donglai glared at him: "This is important electrical equipment. If you dare to exchange it for money, I will send you to the fence."
Yan Bugui also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly licked his face and said with a smile: "No, absolutely not! I am the third uncle of the compound. I have to take the lead in executing your instructions. How can I make a mistake!"
"This is a transformer. I see that there is an open space in the backyard next to Lao Yi's house, which can be installed just right." Li Donglai said: "Now you go find some strong laborers to help the comrades of the construction team carry the transformer in."
"Okay!" Yan Bugui responded, then rushed into the room and took out the broken gong that was a symbol of status.
KUANG !KUANG !KUANG!
"Attention everyone, we have installed a new transformer in our compound. The young people who are free now will go outside the compound to help!"
The voltage in the courtyard has always been unstable, and at night when electricity consumption is at its peak, the light bulbs often flicker on and off.
The children did their homework and sometimes had to light candles.
A candle costs 2 cents, and I also need an industrial coupon, which makes me feel distressed.
The residents were very enthusiastic when they heard that a new transformer was going to be installed.
Seven or eight strong laborers ran out of the yard with bowl-sized wooden sticks and reins. With the help of construction workers from the Power Supply Bureau, they carried the transformer to the back of Yi Zhonghai's house.
Inside the house, Yi Zhonghai was worried about what happened to Qin Huairu. When he heard the noise, he was so frightened that he almost hid under the quilt.
The aunt glared at him fiercely: "If I had known this would happen, why couldn't you control that thing in the first place? Ah!"
"I...amn it because we have someone who can take care of us in old age?" Yi Zhonghai said while peeking out of the window.
Just one glance made Yi Zhonghai feel bad.
He is a fitter, and the fitter workshop has heavy equipment such as rolling mills, which require transformers.
Once this thing is started, it will keep buzzing.
It's so close to the house, how can it be quiet in the future?
