"Excuse me, is it Comrade Jiang Chen?" a rough voice interrupted his contemplation, and when he heard this, he looked up and found two middle-aged and elderly people wearing washed and whitened military uniforms standing next to the bed, about 50 years old, although the military uniform has been worn for a long time, but they are very neatly dressed, from this point of view, they are a soldier, at least once a soldier.

"I am. Jiang Chen, yes, Jiang Chen, said in his hoarse voice, "You are?"

The person with glasses who had whiter skin (compared to the other one) was the first to speak: "Hello, Comrade Jiang Chen, we are from the B17 factory, my name is Xu Zhongjie, and I am the secretary of the party committee of the factory; His name is Chen Guorong and he is the factory director. ”

Jiang Chen paused for a moment before he reacted, it turned out that the leader he was about to report on the factory hurriedly said: "Hello two leaders! ”

"Yes, good. Saying that, Secretary Xu here pulled a chair and sat down directly, and Chen Changzi over there put a small watermelon in his hand on the bedside table with a net pocket and moved a chair next to him and sat down side by side with Secretary Xu.

The two sides looked at each other like this, the small eyes were looking at the old eyes, and they were carefully observing everything about each other, and I don't know how long it took, Secretary Xu over there took the lead in speaking:

"That Xiao Jiang, I'll call you like that, we know that after you were hospitalized, you were supposed to come here, but you couldn't come to the field for some time, so I came directly to you when I came back today, don't be surprised!"

Jiang Chen said with a smile: "What's strange, it's really an honor for the two leaders to come to see me so busy." ”

It was Secretary Xu who spoke: "We all know what happened to you this time, it is very glorious, we have won glory for our factory, have a good rest, and then come to the factory to report when it is raised, your beds are all cleaned up, single rooms, what else do you need to wait for you to arrange when you arrive." ”

Jiang Chen said: "Thank you, thank you, secretary and factory director, you have arranged it well enough." ”

The two sides chatted a lot about the parents, this Secretary Xu is engaged in political work, and Jiang Chen is about to praise the sky, although he has the experience of later generations, but he still can't stand such praise, Jiang Chen is listening to the clouds, at this time, an old man walked in outside, an old man, dressed very plainly, older than the two leaders, he looked at Jiang Chen and said: "I'm sorry, I met an acquaintance, and chatted a few more words, this is Comrade Xiao Jiang, really young." ”

People praise you, you can't help but go back, Jiang Chen smiled and asked, "I am, you are?"

Secretary Xu on the side said with a smile: "Xiao Jiang, let me introduce to you, this is the retired deputy director of our factory, Comrade Lu Yongchang, who used to be in charge of technology, don't look at him has retired, but his old man is a treasure of our factory, no, we specially took him from his children to solve a thorny problem for us." ”

Jiang Chen looked at the gray-haired old man, respectful, and said respectfully, "Grandpa Lu, hello." ”

"Haha," the old man laughed very heartily: "Don't listen to Xiao Xu's nonsense, I just give full play to my spare energy, this world is destined to belong to you young people." ”

"Old Lu, you are too humble, this time I invited you to come here to solve the problems of our juniors. Chen Guorong, who has been silent, said respectfully.

"Hehe, this is not like your style," the old man joked with a smile: "What kind of problem to solve, if I can solve it, I will solve it at home, and I still need to make a special trip back to study and overcome it with everyone?"

"Hehe, old leader, it's not like you haven't been in contact for a long time, and when you return to the factory to get familiar with it, maybe you will solve the problem." Secretary Xu hurriedly said flatteringly.

Haha, the old man was very cheerful, and scolded with a smile: "You don't come, you kid has this mouth." ”

Hahahaha、、、、、、

Everyone laughed, and even Jiang Chen, who didn't know the reason on the side, laughed, but Jiang Chen was more curious, what was the matter that the whole B17 factory couldn't solve, so he had to make a special trip to invite the old technical experts who had retired for many years to come back, so he asked carefully:

"This, can I ask? What is the problem, and you have to make a special trip to ask Lu Lao to come back to solve it?"

Everyone who was laughing had serious expressions when they heard this, and they fell into contemplation one by one, Jiang Chen was a little worried about whether he had said something wrong, so he said cautiously again:

"I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?"

The people who were thinking reacted, and Lu Lao on the side said with a smile: "No, no, it's just that we analyzed and thought about it, since you want to know so much, then Xiao Chen, you tell him, maybe there is any good advice, young man, the brain is alive." ”

Chen Guorong, Director Chen, looked at Jiang Chen for a while, sighed and said: " That's the case, our factory is responsible for the production of some 107 rockets on the front line, this used to be good, but recently we received a report from the front, saying that the 107 rockets produced by our factory have a very high blind fire rate, and some shells have not exploded when they are launched, and it has reached the point where it is urgent。 ”

This Chen factory director is Geng Zhi, regardless of the look of Secretary Xu on the side, he said what should be said and what should not be said, what should not be said? It is that the factory behind it collects pressure from all walks of life, which will have a bad impact on the newcomers, Xu Zhongjie and Secretary Xu looked at Jiang Chen a little nervously, but Jiang Chen did not pay attention to these, he was thinking, why is the same 107 rocket good when tested in the factory, but not when it arrives on the battlefield? Is it really that the weather in the south is too humid and causes the blind fire of the shells? No, the ammunition has been tested, and there should be no problem in the rain for a while, and the charge inside cannot fail in a short period of time, so what is the problem? By the way, it is the fuse! Jiang Chen's mind suddenly brightened, and he said excitedly:

"This, it may be a fuze problem, it is impossible for a rocket to be blinded by moisture. ”

"Haha, young people are young people, they grasped the core of the problem so quickly, and the report from the front line said that the charge inside did not fail due to moisture, so it was judged that it was a fuze problem, and I told you that it was not only our factory that encountered this problem, but also several other factories encountered this situation, so it was more certain that it was a fuse problem. Lu Lao appreciated.

"Hehe, I'm just speculating, because there are only a few parts on the shell, the charge will definitely not be so easy to go wrong, so I thought about the fuse. Jiang Chen explained.

"Oh, since you have speculated, do you have any solution?" Lu Laohe's factory director Chen Guorong and Secretary Xu Zhongjie also turned to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was a little nervous when he was stared at by the three people: "I don't know what the problem is, I haven't seen the fuse of our factory yet, and when I am discharged from the hospital, I will rush back to study and solve the problem with everyone." ”、

"Don't wait to be discharged, I have the fuse, you can see it now. This Chen Guorong Chen Factory Director is an anxious man, and he directly took out two fuses wrapped in newspaper from his bag and gave them to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chenman took the two fuses with the black line on his forehead and said helplessly: "Leader, you just hold it like this, it's so hot, you are not afraid of self-explosion." ”

"What is this, I also personally dismantled the dumb fuse with the projectile body back then. Director Chen said in a loud voice, but he saw Jiang Chen's cautious look and said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't worry, the ** inside is fake, and the explosives in the squib have also been removed, and they are all about to work, what does it look like." ”

Secretary Xu on the side hurriedly said: "This, Lao Chen, Xiao Jiang hasn't been in contact with this after all, you have to give him some time, it was not the same when we first entered the factory." ”

Jiang Chen smiled awkwardly and continued to observe the fuse in his hand, because maybe they showed Lu Lao before, these two were loose, Jiang Chen opened them effortlessly, and carefully checked the various parts, there was no problem with the firing pin, there was no problem with the inertia cylinder, and there was no problem with the safety steel column、、、、、、 so where would the problem appear? Why is it okay to test it in our factory, but not when it comes to the front line? Jiang Chen fell into deep thought, he began to recall all kinds of information about this war in later generations, and suddenly Jiang Chen thought of the key to the problem and shouted: "There is!"

"What's wrong?" asked the crowd.

"Yes, I see, there's nothing wrong with our fuse, it's just not adjusted. Jiang Chen was confident.

"Oh, tell us what's going on. Lu Lao on the side was also interested, he didn't find a problem after checking, but he couldn't figure out what the key to the problem was, and now that Jiang Chen had the answer, of course he was most interested.

"This is actually very simple, and the terrain and climate of the south has a relationship, the south, especially the Nanban region, belongs to the tropical jungle climate, where rainfall is frequent, so the soil is fertile and soft, and our fuze did not take this problem into account in the design process, the spring in the fuze in order to prevent the fuse from being able to stand the air resistance to detonate in advance, so the adjustment is relatively tight, and now the soil, the rocket hits the soft thin mud soil, can not reach the detonation pressure, so there is a dud phenomenon. Jiang Chen simplified the content of a post about fuzes he saw in the later world forum and introduced it to a few people.

"That's right!" Lu Lao patted his thigh and said, "Why didn't I think of it." ”

"This old man, is this really the reason?" Secretary Xu said with some disbelief.

"Why, you still suspect my old man. Lu Lao was a little angry and said, this old man is getting older and younger, and he has begun to vent his dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Don't dare, don't dare, I just didn't expect it to be such a simple reason." Secretary Xu said with a smile.

"Sometimes, it's just such a small problem that stumps everyone, what is this called, this is called dark under the light. Lu Lao preached to the two.

"Yes, yes," Secretary Xu here responded vigorously, but Director Chen on the side took it up: "Okay, now that we know the reason, let's go back and refit quickly, the front line is still urging." ”

Secretary Xu here is a political worker, he also got up and said: "That, Xiao Jiang, we have to rush back to the factory to hurry up the production, the front line is urgent, go first, you have a good rest, wait for the good and then come to report, don't worry." ”

Jiang Chen got up and wanted to say goodbye: "Secretary, factory director, I'll send you." ”

was stopped by Director Chen and said, "Okay, don't get up, take a good rest, and wait for you to report." After saying that, he turned around and walked out first.

And Lu Lao also got up and smiled at Jiang Chen: "This Xiao Jiang, then I'll leave first, I'm still waiting to go back to hug my grandson when I'm done, you have time to come to my house in the future, let's have a good chat." ”

"Okay, Grandpa Lu, I will definitely go to your bothering in the future, I still have good things to learn from you. Jiang Chen replied with a smile.

"This kid, okay, let's go first. After speaking, he also walked out, the old man was very open-minded, and Secretary Xu hurriedly followed after greeting him.
