After lunch, Yang Xiaotao and Wang Huzi were sitting in the shade outside the warehouse.
"Chief, how long have you been back and forth from Xinjiang?"
"It came in 1949 when we were liberated."
"At that time, we came with guns. Later, after liberation, we picked up hoes again."
Wang Huzi sighed with emotion. He didn't have the majesty of a superior person at all, but he was admired from the bottom of his heart.
Yang Xiaotao gestured with his thumb, but Wang Huzi smiled, "Now, it can't be solved by guns. Development still needs talents like you."
"No, there is no one with a gun, the hoe is unstable, and the development of the revolution is like a mirror."
Wang Huzi glanced at Yang Xiaotao, then smiled and said, "What you said is the same as what Lao Chen said."
"Old Chen? Which one?"
"The man with glasses is usually very humorous, but he has a bad temper during wars. He often chatted with me in the same courtyard, asking why we should go after we were liberated. I said I would go with a hoe, and he said I would go with a hammer. Later I
When he came here, he asked me to bring him some cantaloupe, but unfortunately, he never got the chance..."
At this moment, a picture suddenly appeared in Yang Xiaotao's mind, 'Li Yunlong, I congratulate you on getting rich.'
Wang Huzi was talking nonchalantly, recalling the past events with his comrades, which were sparse and ordinary things in the end, but he did not notice that Yang Xiaotao was getting more and more excited, and he hurriedly took out his notebook and opened a page to remember.
'In a certain month of a certain year, Chief Chen asked for two cantaloupe melons as a testimony of friendship.'
'In a certain month of a certain year, Chief Liu invited guests to dinner. As a result, his wife came home, and Wang and Deng went to the kitchen to help cook...'
Yang Xiaotao memorized these trivial things quickly, and the excitement on his face became more and more intense. Wang Huzi, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but be curious when he saw Yang Xiaotao memorizing these trivial things, "Why are you memorizing these things?"
"Of course it's for future generations to see."
"What's so good about this."
"Hey, this is first-hand information. Of course it's good to read." Yang Xiaotao continued writing, raised his head and asked, "Chief, I heard that Chief Xu is not in good health?"
"Old Xu, he and Lao Han came from the same class..."
"Chief, who do you think is the best at fighting?"
"Hey, do you have an idea?"
"That's right, after tea and dinner."
"Well, it's hard to say."
"Tell me about it."
"Hey, okay, let's talk about the top ten first, these are all..."
While the two were chatting, and Yang Xiaotao was asking questions from time to time and taking notes quickly, Director Fang arrived in a hurry with everyone, and it was clear from one look that he had not eaten lunch.
The two stood up, but Yang Xiaotao was still unfinished. If he wanted to hear these 'stories' in the future, he might have to find an opportunity.
"Chief, Director Yang, we are done."
"Director Yang, what do you think of this?"
Seeing Yang Xiaotao's unfinished expression, Factory Director Fang didn't know what to say and hurriedly handed over the parts.
Yang Xiaotao calmed down, took the parts, and looked at them carefully, "It should be fine."
Then he turned around and a group of people walked inside.
Soon, when he came to the machine tool, Yang Xiaotao rubbed his wrist and started to get into the state.
This time, Factory Director Fang, Ma Xiaoling and two workers helped. Wang Hao felt relaxed and stood with Xiao Wu and other workers.

Yang Xiaotao closed the parts, then took the screwdriver and tightened it. Then he looked at it and pointed at the outermost part. Director Fang quickly ran over to pick it up and handed it to Yang Xiaotao.
As each component was quickly installed, more and more people were watching the excitement, and many people even smiled.
"Xiao Wang, Director Yang is so awesome. He hasn't even sweated on his face for so long. His hands are so steady."
Seeing Yang Xiaotao's calm appearance, Xiao Wu felt as if he had taken a reassurance and couldn't get nervous at all.
The people around me heard the same thing.
Wang Hao smiled and said, "What's this? In the past, when Director Yang was still a fitter, he repaired the rolling mill in the steel rolling mill. Only foreign experts could repair it. If anyone repaired these equipment without permission, the experts would spot it directly.
It won’t be repaired. So people in China don’t dare to take action if they don’t have confidence.”
"Director Yang is really capable, so he's not afraid."
Someone on the side sighed with emotion, and Wang Hao showed a proud look, "Of course, do you know that back then, Director Yang earned a pig with just two simple strokes?"
"What? You earned a pig? Tell me quickly."
Ahem~
Wang Hao cleared his throat and began to tell the story of Yang Xiaotao going to the machine repair shop to help repair the machine.
Everyone around stretched their necks and listened carefully.
Yang Xiaotao, who was busy, did not know that what he was doing was also the subject of conversation for others.
"This is not over yet. Do you know that this old sow is pregnant and has given birth to a litter of piglets..."
Wang Hao was talking enthusiastically when he suddenly saw the people around him winking at him. When he realized something, he quickly turned around and saw Yang Xiaotao standing not far away, giving him a death stare.
Ahem
"That's it, haha."
Wang Hao lowered his head and said, while Wang Huzi walked over with a smile, "How about it, has it been fixed?"
Yang Xiaotao took off his glasses, looked at the machine tool, and nodded vigorously.
Beside, Director Fang was walking around the machine tool, reaching out to touch it from time to time, with tears flashing in his eyes.
"Director, let's try it first."
Ma Xiaoling reminded from the side, Factory Manager Fang wiped his face with his sleeve, and then walked to Yang Xiaotao.
"Director Yang, please give me a test run."
This sentence was shouted from the chest, as if all the strength of the body was used.
At this moment, Director Fang's eyes were filled with gratitude and excitement.
"agree!"
Yang Xiaotao also replied solemnly that this is the respect of both parties.
"Come on, let's test drive."
"yes!"
A group of workers quickly got to work. A wire was pulled in from the outside, and someone else was busy connecting the connectors.
After a while, the wires were connected and the power supply of the machine tool was successfully connected. Then, with the confirmation of Director Fang, he pulled the switch hard.
Quiet.
Then it was still quiet.
Factory Director Fang was slightly confused. Could it be that it has not been repaired?
Yang Xiaotao also frowned and put on his glasses again.
Wang Huzi pulled off two beards on his hand.
People around him held their breaths, their eyes full of longing, but they couldn't believe the facts in front of them.
Yang Xiaotao stepped forward, checked again, then raised his head and said, "Turn off the power first."
Open the switch.
"Here, the fuse is blown."
As Yang Xiaotao pointed out, two electricians came over with red faces to check, and then lowered their heads to replace the fuse.
Once the reason is found, everyone can put down their worries. It's just that it's not the machine tool's fault.
Factory Director Fang even ran forward and personally watched the two men replace the fuses. Wang Huzi also walked to the side and watched carefully.
After a while, the fuse was replaced, and the two electricians checked the circuit again before nodding to confirm.
Afterwards, Factory Director Fang looked at everyone, walked to the electric switch himself, and pulled it down hard.
rumble rumble
Buzz buzz~~
A strange sound sounded from the machine tool, and at this moment, the entire warehouse fell into silence again.
Snapped
bang bang
bang bang bang
Suddenly, a round of applause sounded, followed by countless applauses. The sound soon overshadowed the rumble of the machine tools and spread out of the warehouse and far into the distance.
"Comrade Yang Xiaotao, congratulations, congratulations to you."
Wang Huzi stepped forward and stretched out his hand, and Yang Xiaotao quickly reached out and took it.
"Thank you, leader, thank you."
"Director Yang."
Turning around, Director Fang came forward and gave him a warm hug.
Yang Xiaotao was slapped hard, and he could still feel the exciting slaps on his back. Fortunately, he had a strong body. If he had been slapped, he would have coughed.
"thanks, thanks."
Factory Director Fang let go and couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes. After so many years, his heartache was finally gone.
"Comrade Yang Xiaotao, thank you."
As soon as Director Fang let go, another warm hug came.
However, this time it was Ma Xiaoling.
"You're welcome, we are all revolutionary comrades, as we should."
"Director Yang, thank you..."
Then, another hug...
In the warehouse, there were many people hugging each other to celebrate, but Yang Xiaotao was undoubtedly the most popular and loved by everyone.
Wang Huzi looked at the busy people, looked at the time, and shook his head helplessly.
I originally thought about leaving as soon as I was done, but now it seems...
"Forget it, it's one day late, just one day late."
"I hope Lao Qian won't blame him. Of course, there are reasons for everything."
A sneeze
Station, office.
Secretary Qian rubbed his sore nose, and then looked at a stack of documents, which contained orders from the army and local reclamation matters, and his brows jumped.
"Next time, I'll go out too."
In the warehouse, the fun was over, but Yang Xiaotao walked to the machine tool and looked at it carefully.
To say that the biggest gain this time is obviously the second manufacturing plant, because their machine tools have been repaired and they can process products in the future.
But in fact, Yang Xiaotao gained the most.
Although this machine tool is old-fashioned and even older than Yang Xiaotao, you cannot deny that in that era, machine tools produced by Germany were synonymous with advancedness.
Even after more than ten years of economic development after liberation, domestic machine tools are still in their preliminary stages, even inferior to those in Germany before the war.
You must know that it takes at least 3-5 years to manufacture a machine tool, from design to R&D to production. In later generations, China does not pay enough attention to R&D and is used to making quick money. Important components of high-end machine tools are basically imported, and the research and development of machine tools
It can only work in the low and mid-range.
If things go on like this, I will be controlled by others.
Now, after disassembling and studying this machine tool, Yang Xiaotao has gained new design concepts and directions.
He also has a thorough understanding of this machine tool, how to produce it, how to install it, and how to use it.
It can be said that through this disassembly and learning, Yang Xiaotao laid the foundation for machine tool design.
Even after going back and sorting it out a little, Yang Xiaotao can try to design the first 'machine tool' that meets domestic requirements.
Then, step by step, we continue to improve precision and machine tools, and continue to shorten the distance with foreign countries.
At this time, there were already workers operating in front of the machine tool. Although one person was not very skilled, he quickly got started with his years of experience.
Director Fang saw it and came forward to look at it for a while.
"Chief, it's time for us to leave."
Seeing that there was no problem, Yang Xiaotao looked at his watch and saw that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. If he hurried, he could still go back before dark.
"Walk?"
"No, no one can leave, especially today."
Factory Director Fang was still listening to the workers reporting the situation, when he suddenly heard Yang Xiaotao saying that he was leaving, and immediately ran over to stop the two of them.
"Chief, you can't leave."
"Comrades, Director Yang has helped us so much. Do you want to thank us?"
Factory Director Fang shouted, and people around him immediately gathered around. They were not happy when they heard that Yang Xiaotao was leaving.
"want!"
"Yes, we guys from the northwest don't do this kind of thing."
The scene was chaotic, but Chief Wang was smiling.
Yang Xiaotao was grabbed by the arm by Factory Director Fang, his posture was like an old hen protecting her young.
"Comrades, comrades."
Seeing this, Wang Huzi shouted a few words, and the scene immediately fell silent.
"Comrades, today is a day of celebration for the Second Manufacturing Plant. Naturally, we have to stay and celebrate with the comrades."
Ouch~~
As soon as he finished speaking, there were howls all around, and every worker clapped their hands again in congratulations.
"Director Fang, it's time for you to let go."
Yang Xiaotao said helplessly, mainly because this old man is really strong.
"Haha, let go, let go."
"Director Fang, you can't just say a few words to keep us here. This thank you requires a meal at the bar."
Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes and immediately focused on Factory Director Fang.
Wang Huzi, who was on the side, also remembered the previous incident and stared at Factory Director Fang, "Old Fang, what Xiao Yang said is right."
"You have to drink this wine of thanksgiving."
Director Fang smiled bitterly, knowing that if his secret was exposed, sooner or later he would be stabbed.
Then he shouted generously, "Drink, drink tonight."
