"Would you like to stay incognito for the rest of your life?"

Tang Zifeng received Yu Xiaohui at his home in the capital. After listening to Yu Xiaohui's request, he straightened his face and asked solemnly.

"But, why for a lifetime?" Yu Xiaohui said in surprise.

"Well, that's a formality! You have to ask like this to make it seem emotional. Tang Zifeng said stupidly. He asked this because he wanted to imitate the sacredness of his predecessors who engaged in military scientific research incognito, but when he met such a more serious Yu Xiaohui, he ruined the atmosphere that Tang Zifeng had brewed.

"Actually, it doesn't take a lifetime, it's just five years. Tang Zifeng changed his words very quickly, "However, Xiaohui, five years is also very important for you." Your sister Zijun also wants you to post a few SCI articles in the high district, so that you can stay in school in the future. If you apply to go to the confidential workshop of Factory 82, this matter will be in vain. ”

"Yes, Xiaohui, several teachers in the department said that you are very talented and want to keep you. If you go to Factory 82, it will be difficult to stay in school. Xiao Wenjun was also beating a side drum on the side.

Yu Xiaohui is a frequent visitor to this house, as Han Weichang said, Tang Zifeng has always treated Yu Xiaohui as a daughter, Yu Xiaohui came to Tang Zifeng's house, even if she went home, there was no restraint in speaking and doing things. Hearing Tang Zifeng's persuasion, she grinned, and replied while holding little Tang Yanqi into her arms and teasing:

"Uncle Tang, Sister Wen Jun, in fact, I have always wanted to go back to work in Linji, and I don't want to stay in school. I don't think I'm suitable for academics, and it's better to do practice. ”

"How do you know you're not good for academics? I think you're good for academics. Xiao Wenjun reprimanded, but then changed his words and said: "Even if you want to do practice, you can do it in school." The school is more resourceful and has more opportunities, which is more conducive to your development. ”

Tang Zifeng didn't do it, he retorted: "Professor Xiao's speech is too biased, why don't we have resources in our enterprise? This time we cooperated with Factory 82 to develop alternative machine tools, and the Science and Technology Commission promised to invest 150 million yuan, how difficult it is for your university to apply for a 150 million project, think I don't know?"

"But, can you evaluate professors in your company?" Xiao Wenjun choked.

"Of course, we have professor-level senior engineers. ”

"It's just a professor, it's not really a professor. Besides, in school, we can concentrate on scientific research, and we are experts in management at all. When you get to the enterprise, you can only listen to a liberal arts student who doesn't know what a mechanical machine is, maybe it's a blind command. ”

"You're definitely not talking about me. Tang Zifeng said deceptively.

"Of course it's not Uncle Tang, Uncle Tang is also half a mechanical expert now. Yu Xiaohui hurriedly corrected Tang Zifeng's name. However, even as a brainless fan, Yu Xiaohui's evaluation of Tang Zifeng is only limited to "half", because Tang Zifeng's liberal arts background is really hard, and in the eyes of the two science and engineering tyrants, his mechanical knowledge is just scum.

"That's right, Sun Min and Chief Engineer Qin both said that I have already started, and Brother Xiao also said that I have a good understanding of machinery. Tang Zifeng said.

"Who else?" Xiao Wenjun's eyes were stunned.

Tang Zifeng smiled with him: "Old ...... Uh, it's my old father-in-law, Xiao Gong, I'm talking about Xiao Gong. ”

"Uncle Tang, you're too disrespectful! Don't call Uncle Xiao like that in the future, you know?" Yu Xiaohui warned with a smile.

After all this commotion, everyone diverted the topic just now. In fact, Yu Xiaohui wanted to return to Linji Group, and she had already told Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun many times before, so her decision this time was not sudden for Tang Zifeng and his wife. It's just that Xiao Wenjun is in a college, and he always feels that staying in a college is the right way, and he regrets Yu Xiaohui's choice.

"It's good to go to the 82 factory for a while, although the machine tools of PATEO are special equipment, but the internal principle is the same. If Xiaohui can understand these principles, she will also have advantages in the future when she comes back to engage in other machine tool designs, and maybe, it is more effective than blindly staying in school to do theoretical research. Xiao Wenjun found psychological balance for herself.

"I also think that the energy invested in one thing will definitely not be in vain. Yu Xiaohui said.

"However, in the past few years, you really have to be incognito, as Zifeng said, and your research results cannot be published, or even participate in academic exchanges, which has a great impact on a scholar. Xiao Wenjun reminded.

Yu Xiaohui said: "I've already thought about it, I don't care about this. ”

Tang Zifeng nodded and said, "Well, that's fine." Now we are organizing engineers in the group to go to the confidential workshop of Factory 82, and there is really a shortage of a few young people with excellent skills. Xiaohui should be able to play an important role there. As for personal development, Xiaohui, don't worry, when you come back from Factory 82, I will directly evaluate you as a senior engineer, and it will not delay your development. ”

Xiao Wenjun glared at him and asked, "To be honest, have you already had this in mind?" By the way, this time in the negotiation with Botai, you have to let Xiaohui go to Han Weichang as a translator, is this in consideration?"

"No, no, no. Tang Zifeng hurriedly denied it, "This time, I asked Xiaohui to be a translator, mainly because I think she has a strict mouth and will not reveal our hole cards." If we were someone else, we might have been bribed by the Germans and leaked all our hole cards.

"When it comes to young engineers, our original plan was to go to several top science and engineering schools to recruit a few doctors or masters, but how to write the specific recruitment conditions is a difficulty. It is impossible not to mention the fact that the results cannot be published in a few years, and it is also necessary to say so publicly, for fear of arousing the vigilance of the Germans.

"If Xiaohui is willing to go, it will solve our urgent need. Xiaohui went over to stare first, our side is slowly recruiting in the name of the group, and the recruited people can be inspected for a period of time, and they can be sure that their ability and political quality have passed, and then they will be sent over, and they will be much calmer. ”

Yu Xiaohui pursed her lips and smiled, she had actually known about the company's arrangement from Sun Min and others, and this time she took the initiative to ask Ying to help Tang Zifeng share the pressure. Hearing Tang Zifeng say that she had solved the urgent needs of the group, she had a feeling of joy.

The ancients said that if you learn literature and martial arts, you can sell them to the emperor's family, and Yu Xiaohui's mind is the same. In her mind, she felt that Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun had taken good care of her for many years, and she needed to do something to repay this kind of care. When she went to college, she gave up the most popular majors at that time, such as finance and computer science, and chose a mechanical major, which was also in mind.

It can be said that since the day she went to college, she has been planning to return to Linji to work, and now she has finally fulfilled her wish.

"Xiaohui, this time I went to Factory 82, and I was in charge of Guan Yong of the Canglong Research Institute, but he is already relatively old, his energy is insufficient, and his knowledge structure is also a little old. Once you've passed, make the most of your strengths and strive to be at the heart of the project. Our goal is not to build PATEO machines as they are, but to design machines that surpass PATEO based on PATEO, and you must always keep this in mind. Tang Zifeng explained solemnly.

"Let me be the heart of the project?" asked Yu Xiaohui with some surprise.

Tang Zifeng nodded: "I will appoint you as the deputy leader of the project team, nominally to assist Guan Yong's work, but in fact to preside over the overall work." Of course, you have to keep a low profile at first, after all, others are older than you and have more seniority than you. Whether you can be the core of the project depends on whether you can convince people technically, and it also depends on whether you can build a good relationship.

"If you think you are a talented student of Tsinghua University, the pride of the sky, and no one ...... in your eyes"

"Stop, stop!" Xiao Wenjun couldn't listen anymore, "Tang Zifeng, don't treat others with yourself." Xiaohui is not the kind of person who will see no one in his eyes, you can rest assured, this core position is none other than Xiaohui. ”

Tang Zifeng looked at Yu Xiaohui with a smile and asked, "Xiaohui, what do you think of yourself?"

Yu Xiaohui thought about it, nodded and said seriously: "I will do my best." ”

A formal agreement between PATEO and Fab 82 was signed soon. At the same time, Linji Group also signed a memorandum of understanding with PATEO, which agreed that the two companies would form a friendly and cooperative relationship to jointly develop intelligent machine tools for 2035, but there was an inconspicuous clause stipulating that in order to ensure the interests of both parties, the two parties promised not to carry out research and development work in the field of machine tools that the other party was focusing on.

Among them, most of the machine tools featured by Linji Group are low-end machine tools, which were originally given up by PATEO, and the above commitment is just a smoke bomb to cover people's ears. Linji Group's commitment not to invest in PATEO's main machine tools is the core of this record.

According to the requirements of this memorandum, the subsidiaries of Linji Group and the Canglong Research Institute, in which it has a stake, will not develop several specific machine tools in the next five years. As for what will happen in five years, everyone thinks that it is too early to think about it, and then it will be necessary to renew the contract according to the situation.

Before the memo was written, in a corner of Factory 82, a secret workshop marked with the words "Second Machine Repair" had been quietly established. The employees of Factory 82 have received confidentiality education, and they know that they should not ask what they should not ask, and they do not say what they should not say.

A group of technical backbones from more than a dozen domestic machine tool factories have come to Factory 82 in the name of "providing after-sales service" and stationed in this confidential workshop. Factory 82 freed up several PATEO machines from the production line and sent them to the confidential workshop for the technicians to study. Don't get me wrong, we don't plan to "copy" these PATEO machine tools, they just need to understand the performance and operation of these machine tools, as a reference for the development of machine tools with independent intellectual property rights.

According to the practice of the military system, the secret workshop was given a code, called the 04 project team, and Guan Yong, an engineer from the Canglong Research Institute, served as the project team leader, and Yu Xiaohui, a doctoral student at Tsinghua University, served as the deputy team leader.
