When the time was right, Yang Xiaotao started assembling the stamping machine!
Two hours later, Shi Hanzi carried the welded gas chamber over, and Yang Xiaotao took it over and installed it smoothly.
Three hours later, the sky outside was still gloomy and there was no light of dawn.
Three and a half hours later, Yang Xiaotao stood up, took off his glasses, then looked at the stamping machine in front of him, which was about the same size as Wangcai, and said to the people waiting on the side, "It's done!"
Boom…
While I was talking, there was thunder outside.
Through the window, you can even see flashes of lightning.
"It's done!"
Yang Xiaotao's voice was drowned in the rumbling thunder, but it left a deep mark on the hearts of those around him.
Mr. Chen and others rubbed their eyes, feeling sleepy, but they couldn't stop moving forward.
"Is this it?"
Looking at the small stamping machine in front of him, Mr. Chen was a little skeptical.
He has seen many engines, even aircraft engines manufactured by machinery factories.
But what I saw in front of me was even inferior to the engine used by an armored vehicle.
No matter how you look at it, it’s hard to believe.
"Yes, it's done!"
There was no sleepiness on Yang Xiaotao's face and he spoke seriously.
Mr. Qian and Mr. Wang had already begun arranging manpower and immediately sent the stamping machine back to prepare for experiments.
“Whether it’s going to work or not, let’s test it first and then say!”
The old man's face looked tired, but his eyes were very shrewd.
"We'll arrange it right away!"
Mr. Wang said something, and Yang Xiaotao made a gesture to Liang Zuo, who immediately brought people over to prepare to load the car.
The entire stamping machine only weighs four to five hundred kilograms. Seven or eight people came up and used various tools to easily lift the engine onto the armored vehicle.
"Let everyone have a good rest and leave the rest to us."
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao wanted to get in the car, Mr. Qian persuaded him from the side.
Mr. Wang also nodded, "Get some rest, we are tired just looking at it. Don't worry, I will definitely call you if there is good news."
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao no longer insisted. His condition was really not good these two days, his body was like a bowstring, always tense.
"Okay, I'll go home and sleep."
"You must tell me if there is any situation."
Mr. Chen stepped forward and patted Yang Xiaotao on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I will tell you if it succeeds."
The old man also walked up to him and said, "Go back and take a nap. Being young is no reason. You still have to rest when you should."
After saying that, he looked at the workers present and said, "Everyone, please go back and rest. I will approve this leave for your factory director today."
Yang Youning on the side quickly walked up and said, "Comrades, the chief has already said it, why are you still standing there in a daze? Thank you, chief."
After hearing this, everyone immediately applauded, but the old man raised his hands and said, "Go back and have a good sleep, and take good care of yourself."
"I want to thank everyone..."
The old man said, and then left the workshop under the escort of Tong Xiaolong, then got in the car and left the machinery factory under the watchful eyes of everyone.
He knew that if he didn't leave first, the others would not leave.
After the old man leaves, Mr. Chen will also leave.
Then they just need to wait for the results.
The machine factory has already set up a stage, it's up to the Seventh Machinery Department to see if it can perform the show well.
Then Mr. Huang also left, followed by Mr. Zhang and Mr. Qin.
In the end, Mr. Wang asked the security department of the machinery factory to help and sent Ran's father and others back to the Seventh Machinery Department.
After everyone left, Yang Xiaotao turned back and looked at Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning behind him.
"Lao Liu, Lao Yang, I'm going back first, I'm sleepy!"
Yang Youning nodded, "Go ahead, I'll ask Xiao Wang to take you back. If not, I'll go back and catch up on some sleep."
Yang Xiaotao covered his mouth and yawned, then picked up the bamboo hat on the side and left the workshop.
Behind him, Liu Daming and others also found bamboo hats and raincoats, and walked home.
"I have to go back too."
Liu Huaimin yawned, "It's useless here in this state."
"Now that you three are gone, what will happen to the factory?"
Chen Gong came over yawning, feeling sleepy now as the previous excitement passed.
"Isn't there still Lao Wang? Let him take over for a day."
As Yang Youning said, Chen Gong rolled his eyes and nodded immediately, "I'm a little sleepy too. Let's take a walk. Let's eat first and then go home."
...
On the other side, Ran's father was yawning in the armored vehicle, holding the drawings tightly in his hands, looking outside through the observation hole. In the gloomy sky, lightning appeared from time to time, and then after a while, there was a sound.
"Light travels faster than sound, so you see the lightning first, and then the sound comes."
"Based on the time difference between the two and the propagation speed of sound in the air is 340 meters per second, we can calculate how far it is from us..."
Ran's father used his knowledge to cheer himself up so as not to fall asleep.
In the car, several other people were using their own methods to cheer themselves up. They had already gained something in the machine shop, and the next step was their work.
When the car stopped again, there was no sound of thunder or rain outside.
crunch
The car door opened, Ran's father walked out, and then saw people waiting nearby.
On another armored vehicle, a group of people were lifting the stamping machine, and not far away was the experimental site.
"Director Ran, I leave this to you."
Qian Lao came to explain and Ran's father nodded, "Don't worry, chief, we will test it out as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll take people to continue the design. Our Seventh Machinery Department can't let anything slip this time."
"clear."
The crowd was divided into two groups and each was busy.
"Captain, what are we doing?"
Qian Laowang and Lao Wang all took the people to do the work, but Liang Zuoxin and others were left with no one to pay attention to them.
"Forget it, let's go back."
"Go back? What should I do with the engine?"
"Let it go, if we can make one, we can make two."
After Liang Zuoxin finished speaking, he got in the car and left immediately.
Yang Xiaotao returned to the courtyard, opened the door and entered the house, just as Ran Qiuye got up.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao like this, he hurriedly stepped forward to help fetch water and wash up.
Yang Xiaotao signaled that he was fine, but just sleepy, and then went into the house to sleep.
Ran Qiuye sent her child to the nursery, and then prepared to go to the village. However, she was worried about Yang Xiaotao, so she returned home to take a look.
Then I heard snoring coming from the house.
When Yang Xiaotao woke up again, the sky outside was still bright.
But without the rain, it should have stopped raining.
When I got up, I heard the noise of children in the house, and then I saw Miaomiao quietly opening the door, stretching out her little head and looking inside.
There are two small mushroom heads below, and three pairs of eyes look at Yang Xiaotao at the same time.
"Dad, you woke up."
Rongrong shouted in surprise, and when she raised her head, she knocked the two sisters above her backwards, and then the third child started to ouch.
Yang Xiaotao hurriedly stood up, walked over, and picked up the three little guys.
Only then did I feel like my body was rusty and I couldn't move.
"Dad, you've been sleeping for a long time, and Mom didn't let you wake up."
Rongrong complained in a low voice, and then she saw Ran Qiuye walking over and burying his head in Yang Xiaotao's back.
"Get up, I almost asked someone to help take me to the hospital."
Ran Qiuye walked up to him with a glass of water, then glared at the little guy who complained, and the three little ones ran out in a hurry.
Yang Xiaotao took the water glass and took a sip, then shook his head again, and then asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
"I came back yesterday morning and spent the whole day and night."
"So long?"
"No."
Yang Xiaotao drank the water, and then looked at Ran Qiuye, "I slept for such a long time, is there nothing wrong?"
Ran Qiuye's eyes turned red, "What do you think?"
"Aside from scaring me, what else can you do?"
Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao was moved, put down the cup, and hugged the people around him.
"This time is special, don't worry, I promise it won't happen again in the future."
"Who gave you a guarantee?"
Ran Qiuye was hugged tightly by Yang Xiaotao and leaned against his chest.
"I'm not against you working, but you should also take care of your body."
"If you are gone from this family, what will we, the four of us, do in the future?"
Yang Xiaotao listened quietly, but hugged Ran Qiuye tighter.
After breakfast, Yang Xiaotao did not go to the machinery factory.
Anyway, what needs to be done has been done. Today happens to be the weekend, and Yang Xiaotao plans to spend time with his family.
As the saying goes, one spring rain comes and another warm one comes. After the rain, the sky clears, and the sun looks like a different person. It takes off its winter clothes and emits a blazing light.
The family learned from Grandpa Sun, and they all took off their heavy cotton clothes and put on dry coats. Then two bicycles and two dogs followed them out of the courtyard and came to the edge of the West Sea.
There were a lot of people traveling around, and there were groups of people every now and then. The whole family was together, and it was very lively.
Yang Xiaotao found a place under a big tree and placed the fruit cakes he had brought. Then he took out the prepared kite and led the child to an empty place.
With lack of food and clothing these days, the kite made by Yang Xiaotao was naturally not made of cloth, but made of newspaper and bamboo.
Of course, the one who contributed the most here was classmate Xiaowei.
Yang Xiaotao has made two such kites in total. Although the newspapers are of different colors and they don’t look very good, they are good if they can fly.
With the east wind, two swallow-shaped kites were launched into the sky.
Duanwu and Miaomiao each pulled one, and the two younger ones clapped their hands and shouted after each other, with their heads raised high, so they were not afraid of neck pain.
"Look, we are the only ones with kites around."
Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but feel proud when he saw a group of children surrounding the Dragon Boat Festival.
Ran Qiuye was cutting fruit with a knife. When she heard her man showing off, he hurriedly hummed to show that he was honored.
"Watch your kids, I'm going fishing. Let's eat fish tonight."
Yang Xiaotao said something to Ran Qiuye, then picked up the fishing rod and walked to the water.
While Yang Xiaotao was leading his family to relax in the West Sea, the final experiment of the turbojet stamping machine was about to be carried out in the Seventh Machinery Department.
Father Ran's eyes were red, he hadn't slept for two days and two nights, and the fatigue on his face was visible to the naked eye.
Others around him weren't doing much better either.
Except for Comrade Lao Wang, who couldn't bear it and slept for half the afternoon, everyone else barely slept a wink.
"Old Qian, you go and take a nap, I'll watch over here."
Mr. Wang saw Mr. Qian constantly drinking water to refresh himself, and came to the side to persuade him.
Mr. Qian shook his head, "No need. It will be assembled soon. The last step is to make it happen. Let's see if it succeeds."
After hearing this, Mr. Wang said no more. He knew the character of the other party and no one could stop him from what he decided.
"It stands to reason that if there is no problem with the ramjet engine, then we will not have any problems."
"Right, Lao Ran."
Qian Lao seemed to be speaking to himself, but also to Ran's father who was standing aside.
Ran's father hummed, his lips were a little dry, but the joy on his face flashed across his face.
The turbojet stamping machine designed by Yang Xiaotao has passed various tests and its performance has met the requirements.
Now comes the most important part, testing the speed.
While I was thinking about it, everything was ready.
"start."
Following Qian Lao's order, the staff not far away immediately began to open the switch and start the test.
Everyone looked nervously through the bunker behind the engine.
Slowly, slowly, suddenly someone covered his mouth, not daring to make a sound, but unable to suppress it.
Father Ran rubbed his eyes and looked at the pillar of fire emerging from the darkness in front of him. There seemed to be many triangles hidden in the pillar of fire, and then the color began to change.
He knew that this was the Mach ring.
The Mach ring only appears when the speed of sound is exceeded.
He knew that the appearance of this thing meant that this engine had reached supersonic speed requirements.
Mr. Qian on the side has already started counting, one, two, three...
Mr. Qian also knows that the number of Mach rings does not directly represent the thrust of the engine, but under the same circumstances, the more Mach rings, the greater the thrust.
Farther away, Mr. Wang was still watching the colorful changes, feeling an urge in his heart that he wanted to shout but didn't dare to.
So beautiful, so beautiful.
Yeah~~~
Suddenly, I don't know who couldn't hold it back and broke this rare peace.
Then violent shouts filled the entire experimental area.
People nearby hugged each other, jumped and jumped together.
"Successful."
Ran's father looked at Mr. Qian and said a thousand words, his eyes blurred with tears, just for these three words.
Mr. Wang came to the front and hugged the two of them tightly, "Yes, we succeeded."
"I'm treating, I'm treating, drinking, tonight, I must, I won't come back until I'm drunk!"
