The night was already very late, and Yang Mingzhi had to work late with his subordinates to prepare for tomorrow's important matters.
The factory is about to start construction, the workers and equipment are basically in place, and the only thing left is to have the technical drawings in place.
Although most of the workers are newly graduated students, the backbone is still those talents poached from brother factories and experienced old people who were rehired. Yang Mingzhi is very relieved about the backbone force. He is convinced that these people only need to
Once you get the drawing, you can produce the parts in sequence according to the process marked on the drawing.
Among all personnel, lathes are the most important.
An excellent worker needs to have solid work ability and the ability to see fallacies in drawings. Generally speaking, Yang Mingzhi still hopes that they will not make empiricist mistakes. It is best for them to produce and process parts step by step, so that they will not
Mistakes, if any, are also errors in the process drawings.
In this way, it is the problem of the craftsman, and it is relatively easy to repair such errors.
So tonight, all designers have to work overtime and later.
Yang Mingzhi encouraged him at the right time: "You carefully proofread the drawings and process cards to ensure that there will be no errors in our work. Comrades, we must now believe that the workers are processing strictly according to the drawings, so if the production of firearms cannot meet expectations,
, our responsibility is very big.”
Many people have beads of sweat hanging on their foreheads and cheeks because they must be absolutely careful to ensure that the drawings and processing procedures of all parts are very precise.
Of course, Yang Mingzhi was not just watching their work like a supervisor.
Yang Mingzhi is actually the last process here and the most critical job, that is, acting as the "top inspector".
Every drawing and process must be checked by Yang Mingzhi in the end, even if they have been checked by his subordinates.
Everyone tacitly felt that the director's actions were too detailed and rigorous. Thinking about it carefully, the director's high demands were not exaggerated. Because everyone knew one thing. Novosibirsk City suddenly started producing new firearms, and they were to be delivered to
The comrades in the design bureau are also the director's old subordinates.
As time passed by, Yang Mingzhi kept his eyes wide open and yawned more and more.
However, the workload has always been huge. Today, Yang Mingzhi finally recalled the hardships of commanding troops in group army headquarters and only sleeping two or three hours a day.
In fact, it was not that long ago. In July, when the battle was the most difficult, Yang Mingzhi did not feel that he was under greater pressure than then.
The difference is that you must open your bloodshot eyes and carefully check all the drawings.
Except for the barrel, all other parts are produced by the factory. The design of the ab42 assault rifle tends to be modular, so it does not consist of many parts, but the processing complexity of each part is higher.
This design fully takes into account the feelings of the soldiers and the logistics department, and now it is suffering from its designers.
Yang Mingzhi moved a table and a small desk lamp. The drawings that the designers thought they had checked properly were sent to Yang Mingzhi one after another.
Now that you have decided to check it out in person, you must endure no matter how much pain you suffer. Even if you are hit by a bullet, it is just a sharp pain, but how many people can overcome this sleepy feeling by relying solely on willpower?
Being sleepy is so uncomfortable, it is every cell shouting for cultivation at the same time.
But you cannot rest until the task is completed. After all, once you are lazy, tomorrow's work will also be affected.
Glancing at the pile of blueprints and documents, I yawned again.
The night is already deep, and it will be dawn in a few hours.
Star Tao shook his head. He really didn't want to sit on the bed anymore and continued reading under the soft light of the desk lamp.
The books describe heroic stories. Looking at these works describing the heroes of the Soviet Civil War, Yang Tao couldn't help but think of his own fighting career.
"Well, now that I'm pregnant with you, the battle and I are getting further and further apart." Carambola stroked her belly and looked at her watch again. It was already ten o'clock in the evening!
She wiped the breath from the window and saw that the big office not far away was still brightly lit.
"Today is really unusual. Do you have to work all night to start the factory?"
Yang Tao sighed. She knew the importance of her husband's work and she had to help him. So how to help?
Go over and give him a few words of encouragement? No! Come up with something realistic.
There are many good things in the cabinet at home, which is simply made of wooden boards. There are canned yellow peaches that have not yet been eaten, and some canned sauerkraut produced in the Soviet Union. In short, they are mainly canned, and one of them is a gift from Umov.
Star Tao carefully took out the tin can and placed it on the table. Then she called the guard who was on duty at night, and Annie who was going to the kitchen to make supper called over.
"Oh! Why are you calling me?" Annie came in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to take off her apron.
Star fruit pointed to the jar: "This is what's called coffee. Can you help me make it?"
"Ah? You want to drink it?" Anne was subconsciously shocked, "Don't do this! It's not what you should drink."
"Oh, I'm not drinking it. It's for him!"
"Your husband? Oh no, he's Comrade Director."
"Yeah. I think he will work very late, and there are other comrades, they..." Yang Tao gritted her teeth. Of course she supported her husband's work, but her husband temporarily put herself aside. The sense of loss is really uncomfortable. "
Just like this, Sister Anne, how many people do you think you can drink if you take out half of the coffee powder in the jar?"
"You..." After all, Anne is a woman who has been working in Moscow for a long time, but she knows a lot of high-status people. Many of them don't like strong drinks, but they just love imported coffee.
After all, coffee is indeed a refreshing treasure.
Annie looked at the jar and thought for a moment: "Half of it will be enough for everyone to drink."
"Okay! Then divide half of it out and you can help me process it, okay?"
"Of course there is no problem in processing it. It's just the director...this thing is very precious now."
Coffee is not a strategic material, so the import path of the pre-war Soviet Union was smooth.
However, due to policy reasons, coffee suddenly disappeared from civilian life, but it is still popular among senior personnel.
Of course, Yang Tao also knew that whether it was Anne or Grishenko, it was Beria who was the monitor placed next to her and her husband. At this point, did she still need to mention this matter? Anyway, she had nothing to hide.
Tucked away. Instead, Anne and others became helpers in his life.
Yang Tao pouted. She didn't think there was anything wrong with consuming her husband's coffee. In other words, she actually didn't know what was so precious about something that tasted like drinking traditional Chinese medicine. Refreshing? Wouldn't it be more refreshing to have a cantilever on the head and a cone on the buttocks?
She then said: "You can just go ahead and keep them awake."
"Okay!" Annie felt something was wrong. She couldn't help but said: "We now have all the ingredients to make a latte. Maybe the director will be very happy."
"Latte? What is that?" Star Tao asked curiously.
"Oh, it's the Italian way of drinking. It's not very complicated to make, and the taste is amazing."
Anne would never have imagined that the coffee-making skills that she had almost forgotten would now be useful again.
There is milk, sugar and honey in the kitchen. Of course, it would be better if there is some vanilla.
Soon, the aroma of the strong soup brewing in the kitchen was mixed with the smell of coffee. Annie brewed a teapot of strong coffee, then added milk and honey and started stirring like crazy, so that the foam in the curved-mouth teapot was rich.
All the dregs had been filtered out and the coffee had turned brown-white. After finishing all this, Annie carried the entire teapot and ran to Star Fruit to show off her results.
"Oh? It smells so good!" Star Fruit experienced an unprecedented pleasure and excitement. As Annie opened the teapot lid, she couldn't help but frown when she saw the foam inside, "Is this thing really delicious? I've tasted it before, and it's so delicious.
It's like drinking medicine. Really, who would like this."
Anne didn't understand that Carambola was talking about drinking Chinese medicine. She encouraged: "You can try it. Since you generously took out half of the coffee on behalf of the director, I also generously took out all the honey. Believe me, it is very good."
sweet."
Star Tao was doubtful, so he took out a glass and watched eagerly as he poured a little of the brown-white foamy liquid into it.
She took a tentative sip, and the bitter and sweet feeling hit her tongue. Does it taste good? It tastes really good. It has a slight bitter taste, but the overall feeling is still sweet.
"Well, after all, you'd better have a good rest, it's enough to taste it."
"This..." To be honest, after trying this feeling, Star Fruit suddenly felt that it suited her taste very well. "Sister, what will happen if you pour me a glass and I drink it all?"
"Probably just watching the sun rise tomorrow with bloodshot eyes, and then going to bed after lunch."
"Wow! Is it so refreshing? If...if it were really during the war."
"Don't think about it." Annie patted Star Tao on the head directly, "Children should behave like children, and you should rest immediately."
"How can I be a child? Well... at least I have to go see him."
"Then let's go. If the director knows that you drank coffee, I will be scolded. Alas, even now I am very stressed."
Yang Tao smiled shyly, then put on thick clothes and followed Annie towards the big office.
Two uninvited guests broke into the busy workplace.
Yang Mingzhi's eyelids that were about to be closed suddenly opened excitedly, and he stood up smartly, happy to see that his wife was here.
"Dear, why are you here?"
"Let's see you! By the way..." Yang Tao subconsciously looked left and right, and all the people he saw were staring at him.
In fact, this is not the case. Everyone’s noses are very normal. Anne, wearing a chef’s apron, is holding a teapot. How can the special smell wafting from it not be noticeable?
Yang Mingzhi soon noticed this aura, and couldn't help being startled, and asked: "Annie? What's in the teapot you are carrying..."
"It's coffee! Comrade Director."
"You..." Yang Mingzhi choked for a moment, "Huh? Has the Academy of Sciences started supplying coffee?"
"It's me!" Star Tao said, approaching her husband, "I brewed your coffee. Since you and everyone are working hard to get the factory started, how can I just sit back and watch."
"Ah? All the coffee?!" Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but hold his head in his hands.
"Yes, the bitter stuff tastes like medicine." Carambola said deliberately.
"Oh! That thing is so precious."
Yang Mingzhi stamped his feet. He had almost never drank from these precious gifts since he got them. Because they were so precious, he would only enjoy them slowly when good things happen to him in the future. But now he is being eaten by a prodigal woman.
It has been completely consumed.
Yang Tao was really shocked by her husband's performance and couldn't help laughing.
"Am I not as good as your can of coffee?"
"That's different!" Yang Mingzhi said loudly.
Is your husband angry?
"Okay, okay." Carambola quickly flattered, "I only used half of it. Speaking of which, I even tasted a little. Sister Anne's craftsmanship is really good. She made a latte."
"It's actually a latte?" Yang Mingzhi pursed his lips and shook his head, then looked at Annie: "A pot full of them? Do you know how to do this? Is there a barista hidden in my team?"
"Of course!" Anne was already keenly aware of the relaxation of the atmosphere, so she boasted: "I think we can also add a cafe in the design bureau. As long as our superiors provide us with coffee, I can do it every day."
"You think too much." Yang Mingzhi smiled awkwardly, "When Cuba supplies us with goods in the future, you and I can really drink coffee every day. Anyway, what has happened now is a good time to share with everyone, I think I need a little
Coffee refreshes you.”
Everyone present was very interested in a pot of coffee. Even many newly graduated female designers, who had only heard of a beverage called coffee in their lives, could actually drink it today.
So no one noticed Yang Mingzhi's muttering, and everyone was more willing to try new things.
After the war ended and in the era of peace construction, the Soviet Union's foreign trade began to return to normal.
At that time, the transportation routes for coffee and cocoa became increasingly accessible.
After drinking latte coffee made by professionals in Novosibirsk, Yang Mingzhi was shocked by the special feeling tonight. Of course, the result of drinking two large cups was to see the rising sun on October 18th.
Not only Yang Mingzhi, but also all the staff of the design bureau gathered together this time and collectively saw the new sunrise.
It was truly an extraordinary experience. The director and all his subordinates worked together all night.
Of course, everyone had to admire the director for bringing out the coffee for this "event", and also lamented the superb skills of the cafeteria staff. The most important thing was that everyone's work was satisfied by the director himself.
Just before breakfast time, all the documents to be sent to the factory had been packed and boxed.
The documents are all packed into special iron boxes. They are originally boxes used by the Academy of Sciences to transport important equipment. Now it is perfect for transporting important drawings.
They were all locked, and Yang Mingzhi also ordered the ten designers who were to be sent to the factory to keep a close watch on them. He even said harshly: "If anything happens to the files, we will go to a military court!"
It is impossible to go to a military court. Yang Mingzhi just hopes to make everyone vigilant with his remarks.
But considering that everyone has not slept all night, it seems that we need to drink some more coffee to force everyone to maintain energy to complete today's work.
