Chapter 1: Chance Encounters
Although October in Jindong Province has gradually had a hint of coolness, walking in the wide factory area, a little sunset afterglow sparsely sprinkled on the body, but also makes people feel a little warm.
After the accident, Yang Zhi's body had just recovered. He is still recuperating at home for the time being. Considering that his son rarely went out during this time, and now that his body is basically recovering, he should also go out for a walk, Yin Zhimei asked Yang Zhi to send food to his father Yang Dachang.
Yang Zhi walked into the door of the processing workshop with an aluminum lunch box, and found his father who was busy among the workers, "Dad, so many people have to work overtime today?" Yang Dachang, who looked up when he heard the words, saw that it was actually his son, and hurriedly paused the lathe in his hand, "Xiaozhi, why are you here?" "Mom stewed a chicken today, I'm afraid you'll be tired, and it won't taste good when you go back to drink it at night, so I brought it to you."
Hearing his son's words, Yang Dachang took the lunch box and muttered with some dissatisfaction: "This old woman is really troublesome." However, looking at his father's happy expression, Yang Zhi would not be deceived by his insincere complaints.
"Hehe, Dachang, your family Zhimei is sorry for you," a few people who were similar in age to Yang Zhi's father joked. "Old husband and wife, what is distressed or not", the thin-skinned Yang Dachang hurriedly replied. "Xiaozhi, are you okay now?" Everyone knows about Yang Zhi's previous injury. It's all my father's old colleagues for decades, this joke is self-explanatory, and this concern is indeed from the heart. Yang Zhi nodded with a smile, and thanked him in his mouth, "It's okay now, I have to thank Uncle Wang and Uncle Zhao for your help!" ”
It turned out that after Yang Zhi was injured before, he couldn't leave people around him, although Yin Zhimei was usually the mainstay, Yang Dachang definitely couldn't be completely undelayed, and several times he was a worker's substitute. Decades of old friendships, everyone knows the roots, and they are all people who do their best, they are very free and easy, and they are not polite when they hear it, so they continue to be busy with their work with a smile.
followed Yang Dachang to the rest area outside the workshop, while watching his father eat the chicken soup and side dishes, and chatting with his father in pairs, Yang Zhi was also in a good mood. After all, although the canteen in the factory is good, except for noon because of the time, almost all the employees are solved in it, and at night they are basically some overtime people or bachelors. Most people choose to go home, and the family can eat and chat together after a busy day. The dinner in the canteen will be relatively inferior in terms of both the quantity and quality of the dishes. Seeing his father, who was a little tired, eating deliciously, Yang Zhi was also very happy.
"Dad, you're busy. I'll go back first, Mom is still waiting! After packing up the lunch box, Yang Zhi got up and prepared to leave. Well. "Then you come back early in the evening." Knowing his father's character, Yang Zhi didn't care about it when he heard this short answer, and walked out with a command.
When passing by the side door of the workshop, someone suddenly walked out quickly and almost knocked off the lunch box in Yang Zhi's hand, and this person didn't care at all, and he didn't say a word of greeting. Although Yang Zhi said that he was not careful, he was a little unhappy in his heart. Naturally staring at the other party, Yang Zhi couldn't take his eyes off this time. This bald old man is neither wearing factory work clothes nor ordinary people's tunics, but he is wearing a suit and leather shoes! It is extremely incongruous to appear in the roaring workshop of this machine, and it is also very different from the image of the workers with oily hands inside.
In the mid-80s, unlike after the deepening of reform and opening up, the suit was still a novelty. It's hard for Yang Zhi not to pay attention. It wasn't too far away, and I vaguely heard this person muttering: "Big shaft, big shaft." Hearing this, Yang Zhi's heart moved, this large shaft is one of the core components of the stamping machine. Just as he was thinking about it, another middle-aged man in a factory uniform hurriedly walked over: "Professor Xu, how can this be?" The anxiety in the words was palpable. Turns out this is still a professor!
"There's a problem with the big shaft, the atmosphere inside is too depressing, I just came out to clean up, and I'm thinking of a way." Professor Xu didn't seem to notice the reproach in the middle-aged man's words, and there was a hint of panic on his face. "It's useless outside, let's hurry in and figure out a way!" As he spoke, regardless of the other party's reaction, the middle-aged man pulled the old man into the workshop again.
At this time, the sun is about to set and the sky is getting dark. Yang Zhi didn't notice the appearance of the middle-aged man. However, when I entered the workshop, the headlights shone on, hey! Isn't this Chang the director? Yang Zhi recognized the middle-aged man as Chang Xinlai, the executive deputy director of the factory. Can it alarm him, it seems that this is not a trivial matter? Because he had been recuperating at home for a short time, Yang Zhi, who had nothing to do, curiously followed a few steps. I saw a lot of people around a press in the workshop.
Yang Zhi naturally didn't know the identities of these people at this time, and the four people led by the machine were: Professor Xu of Jinyang Mechanical Institute just now, Deputy Director of Yituo, Deputy Director Wu of the Planning Department of the Ministry of Machinery Industry, and Li Botao, Mayor of Jinyang City, where Yituo is located.
Mayor Li Botao's face was pale, and he stared angrily at Professor Xu, who looked uneasy. Chang Xinlai, the deputy director of the factory, paced back and forth around the machine, and Deputy Director Wu's face was also a little ugly.
Li Botao asked sharply: "You don't have any way?" You're a leader! As if feeling this severity, Professor Xu replied tremblingly: "The previous tests were all good, but today I don't know why there was a problem with the big axis." My design student has gone back to his hometown. ”。“ Chang factory director, can't you do it in the factory? Seeing that Li Botao asked himself, the usual leader of the Chang factory seemed to be a little weaker in his momentum: "Qian Haijun, you are the mechanic in charge of this workshop, you can talk about it." The worker named was submissive: "This." This one. We don't usually encounter such a situation. The worker who was defending himself was interrupted by the deputy factory director: "Okay." Of course, he knows the situation in the factory, and after the retirement of some experienced masters, others are indeed not familiar with such situations that are rarely encountered in ordinary production. Coupled with the common problem of old state-owned enterprises, many employees are children of the factory or related households, and the technical aspect is a little reluctant.
At this time, another person who had left in a hurry just now came back, and several of them all asked in unison, "How is it?" The person who came shook his head in frustration: "Master Wang is said to have defected to his daughter, and he has not come back during this time, and the mechanic Xiaoduan is not at home at this time." ”
Master Wang used to specialize in repairing stamping machines in the workshop, and he was an old master who had been working for more than 20 years, and his skills were relatively good, so he should be able to solve the problem if he was there. As for the mechanic, the small section is responsible for maintaining large equipment, although it may not be able to solve it, but at least he is familiar with stamping machines. He was a dead horse doctor, but he was not found.
Deputy Director Wu, who had not spoken, spoke unhappily: "With such a large factory of tens of thousands of people, can't you find one person to solve it?" ”
Deputy Director Chang was blushing when he heard this, but fortunately, everyone didn't pay much attention to his face now. He naturally doesn't have much to say now, after all, although Deputy Director Wu is only at the deputy department level, he is the leader of the ministry (Ministry of Machinery Industry) after all, and the people in the factory are really not very competitive at this time. I had to scold my mother in my stomach: I came to this thing so suddenly, and I wasn't responsible for this aspect before, what can I do for a while? Besides, this Professor Xu slapped his chest before, who would have thought that the chain would fall off at a critical moment.
It turned out that after the convening of the National Science and Technology Conference, the famous thesis that science and technology are the primary productive forces swept China for a while, and a wave of development of science and technology was set off throughout the country. As a giant of the republic's machinery industry, Yituo naturally cannot be an exception. With the support of Li Botao, the new mayor of Jinyang, Yituo and Jinyang Mechanical Institute jointly developed a new type of fast stamping machine.
After more than a year of research, it has been successfully improved on the basis of traditional stamping machines. Tomorrow is the day when the expert group will come to the project acceptance. Not only that, the No. 1 administrative head of Jindong Province will also attend the acceptance meeting tomorrow and inspect Yituo and Jinyang City. Today, several leaders and Professor Xu, who presided over the research, finally confirmed that all the work was ready, but there was a problem during the test flight. Can these people not be in a hurry?
