Early in the morning, An Zhong woke up and called his youngest son out of the bed and prepared to go to the market.

Hearing that he was going to buy meat, the youngest son immediately jumped up and put on his clothes quickly.

The wife cleaned up in the house and prepared breakfast.

After the two drank a little, they went out as soon as possible, while the woman led the child to walk around.

Before noon, the father and son came back, just looking at the emptiness of their hands and the unhappiness on the face of the younger son, the wife understood that it was too late.

Towns and villages are like this, there are not many materials, and sometimes they can't buy things even if they have money and tickets.

The youngest son walked into the house, looking reluctant.

An Zhongsheng could only comfort and buy it tomorrow, and then smiled wryly at his wife.

"I'll go to the grain station in a moment and bring out the next month's ration."

Seeing that she could not buy meat, his wife had no choice but to go and receive food.

An Zhongsheng nodded.

Bumper.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the two looked at each other.

The wife looked at the bottom of the noodle jar and shook her head helplessly.

Nine times out of ten, people who come during this time are looking for food.

But his family has no extra food.

The knocking on the door continued, not loud, and the Buddha was hesitating.

An Zhongsheng took a deep breath, finally walked to the door, and asked softly, "Who!"

In the meantime, prepare to open the door.

It's just that in the next second, the person who heard the voice shouted violently, "Teacher An!"

After An Zhongsheng heard this, he quickly opened the door, and when he saw the person clearly, he was stunned.

There were two people standing at the door, one tall and one short, both young men.

The lower one is a little familiar.

"Are you, Toshiaki?"

An Zhongsheng asked hesitantly.

"Yes, yes, Mr. An, I'm Li Junming!"

"Quick, come in."

An Zhongsheng immediately smiled, "I received your letter last night, and I saw you today, it's true."

An Zhongsheng was a little excited, and did not forget to greet his wife in the house, "Guests are here, prepare more meals." ”

The wife came and saw the two young men walking in, and before she could speak, she was stunned on the spot.

An Zhongsheng also found out that something was wrong at this time, and saw the young man behind Li Junming walk in the door, carrying a large piece of pork in his hand and a noodle bag in the other hand, looking more than thirty pounds, and it was quite difficult to carry.

Seeing that the two were surprised, Li Junming hurriedly introduced, "Mr. An, this is my classmate Li Lei, who is also a technician at Hongxing Iron and Steel Plant. ”

"Hello, Mr. An!" Li Lei greeted with a smile.

An Zhongsheng reacted, realizing in his heart the purpose of the two of them.

It's just that

"It's so meaty!"

There was a sound of surprise in the room behind her, and the wife quickly turned her head and glared, and drove the two sons back to the room.

An Zhongsheng reacted and hurriedly said, "Hello, hello." Welcome, welcome. ”

As he spoke, he invited the two of them into the house.

Li Lei gave Li Junming a look, and the two tacitly agreed, but secretly, they gave Li Lei a thumbs up.

Based on the children's reaction just now, there is a chance that this will happen.

The two came to the house, and An Zhongsheng asked them to sit down and busily went to make tea.

"Teacher An, don't be busy, let's just drink water."

"That's right, Mr. An, we can't afford you like this!"

"What can't stand it, it's a guest when it comes, you just sit down."

After An Zhongsheng finished speaking, he went to wash the cup.

On the other hand, the wife made another difficulty, should this meat be cut?

Looking at the way the children longed, it was uncomfortable.

"Daddy, do you want to cut a small piece and let them take the rest back?"

An Zhongsheng washed the cup, and when he heard this, he looked at the three pairs of longing eyes, and finally nodded.

The children immediately burst into laughter.

"Teacher An, you don't have to think about it, this was originally for you."

I don't know when, but Li Junming came to him and saw the previous scene in his eyes.

"Junming, you can come to see the teacher, the teacher is already very pleased, the things are too expensive, you can bring them back to your family."

"Teacher An, I didn't buy this Dongliang."

Li Junming shook his head, and Li Lei stepped forward on the side, "Mr. An, we are here this time on behalf of Hongxing Iron and Steel Plant to invite you to guide the work." ”

An Zhongsheng was silent.

The wife next to him also nervously clenched the kitchen knife and moved the meat away.

Seeing this, Li Lei began to introduce Hongxing Iron and Steel Plant.

"Mr. An, you may not have heard of this Red Star Iron and Steel Factory, but you have always heard of Red Star Machinery Factory!"

"Red Star Machinery Factory, the one in the tractor phalanx a few days ago!"

An Zhongsheng looked up and asked.

"yes, just go that one. Machinery factory is a general term, and there are many factories below, such as chemical plants, machine repair plants, and our steel plants..."

Li Lei gave a general overview of the situation, and An Zhongsheng understood it before and after, and he no longer despised it in his heart.

Even if it is only a branch of the machinery factory, it is better than his current work unit.

"Mr. An, now we have started to transform the converter." After Li Lei finished speaking, Li Junming continued to speak, and the two of them cooperated professionally from the overall situation, which was also a plan that had been arranged a long time ago.

Sure enough, speaking of this transformed converter, An Zhongsheng didn't care about washing the cup, so he just found a brick and sat down, and the same was true for the two.

"Started a makeover? What are you going to do?"

"We want to improve a small converter with air side blowing and make a model first..."

"That's a good idea!"

"But there are a lot of problems..."

The three of them exchanged on the side, and Li Lei added a few words from time to time, all about the importance of the superiors, especially when it came to Yang Xiaotao, and he explained the front and back of the organization of the R&D department thoroughly, so that An Zhongsheng understood that Yang Xiaotao really wanted to change the status quo of the steel plant.

"Teacher, there is a big problem right now."

In the end, Li Junming solemnly spoke.

"You say."

"Mr. Yang said that if the model is successful, it means that this method is desirable, so we have not involved it in this aspect to transform the large-scale open-hearth."

"I remember that you once visited the Alliance, so I came here to ask you for help."

When An Zhongsheng heard this, he stood up violently, with a confident face, "Go, follow me." ”

Walking quickly to the house, Li Lei and the two looked at each other and smiled, and then quickly followed.

In the room, An Zhongsheng opened a wooden box, and inside was a book wrapped in newspaper.

An Zhongsheng carefully stroked the cover and fell into memory.

After a long time, he smiled at the two of them and took out a drawing from it.

"This is the scene I saw when I went to the alliance many years ago, and I wrote it down later, and their furnace can produce 100 tons of steel, and this is the design."

Li Junming immediately opened the drawings when he heard this, and there were many small drawings inside, thick ones, each of which was drawn with pictures, and some were full of numbers.

The two looked carefully, and An Zhongsheng's explanation was added.

"Teacher An."

Li Junming suddenly spoke solemnly, and An Zhongsheng raised his head to look at him.

"Mr. An, you once told us that this is the best opportunity to realize the domestic steel industry and overtake in corners."

"You once said that you would take us to realize our dream of building a prosperous and strong motherland."

"Teacher An, now, this opportunity is right in front of you, and the opportunity to realize your dream is right in front of you."

"Teacher An, we need you."

Li Junming said sincerely, Li Lei also stepped forward, "Teacher An, you don't have to worry about the job transfer, as long as you want, the Red Star Machinery Factory will take care of it, and your family will also be resettled, we have a family home in the steel plant, and the children can also go to school, all for free." ”

After the two finished speaking, they both looked at An Zhongsheng solemnly.

On the side, his wife put down the kitchen knife and looked at An Zhongsheng nervously.

In her psyche, she will support every decision of her husband.

But this time, she also hopes that her husband can go to the steel factory, not only for the sake of the family, but also to realize the ambition in her husband's heart.

An Zhongsheng suddenly laughed, looked at his wife and children on the side, and said loudly, "Ah Hua, cut a large piece of meat and fry two vegetables." ”

"Also, second, take the money to buy wine."

After speaking, he looked at Li Lei and Li Junming, "You are right, I am halfway through my life." ”

"The remaining half will be handed over to the Red Star Iron and Steel Plant."

"Okay, great, Mr. An, you agreed, great."

Li Junming said loudly, almost jumping up with excitement.

He knew that the task assigned by Mr. Yang, the steel plant, was expected to be completed.

"Okay."

"Oh oh..."

Then came the laughter of the children.

Several people laughed.

An Zhongsheng looked at Li Junming and the two again, and all three laughed.

"Come, tell me, Red Star, the machine factory."

"Okay, Mr. An."

"I don't know much about this Red Star Machinery Factory, it was originally a Red Star Rolling Mill"

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Lei went to the town to get in touch with Hongcheng Iron and Steel Factory, and then Guan Zhiyong immediately contacted Yang Xiaotao to explain the situation.

Machinery factory.

When Li Lei and the others found An Zhongsheng, in the office, Yang Xiaotao and the others were in a meeting.

In addition to the senior management of the machinery factory, there was also Xu Yuanshan from the chemical plant.

Therefore, the theme of this meeting is to discuss the issue of petrochemical industry.

"Uncle Xu, you have grasped the oil matter, and the current output will soon be unable to be satisfied."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the plan reported by the chemical plant, although the focus began to shift, but the oil equipment was not large, and the output was limited.

Moreover, the chemical reagents required are not small, but fortunately, the chemical plant itself can afford it.

"Well, I understand."

"That's exactly what I'm going to say."

Xu Yuanshan took out a plan from his arms and put it on the table.

"I'm going to re-establish a distillation column on the side."

Yang Xiaotao took it and looked at it.

"Distillation column?"

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning all looked at it in shock.

"Lao Xu, the distillation tower is not a small thing, have you thought about it?"

Yang Youning was smoking a cigarette, but Chen Gong, who was taking care of the cold, did not light it.

Liu Huaimin also nodded, "The distillation tower is not simply built, but also needs to be supplemented with equipment, can you handle it?" ”

Xu Yuanshan nodded, "I have contacted the northwest for equipment problems, and they have a set of alliances that have been eliminated, although it is a little dilapidated, but it should not be a problem to repair it." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yuanshan looked at Yang Xiaotao, which was also his confidence.

He believes that as long as Yang Xiaotao makes a move, these devices can be repaired.

Several people around also looked over and felt the gaze on his body, Yang Xiaotao nodded helplessly, "I'll do my best." ”

Xu Yuanshan laughed, and then explained, "Yes, the original distillation column was too small, which limited the speed, and if the chemical plant wants to keep up with the development speed of the machinery factory, this distillation column must be built." ”

Xu Yuanshan must have said, "With this distillation tower, we can increase the output by three times, and if it is saturated, the daily output of 100 tons is not a problem, which can ensure the consumption of each department." ”

Yang Xiaotao pondered silently, building a distillation column like this is not a small project, and it is larger than building a workshop in a machinery factory.

However, Xu Yuanshan is right that in order to keep up with the pace of machinery factories, chemical plants must expand their scale and increase production capacity.

Otherwise, the chemical plant will become the plank of the machine factory that will take off in the future.

"Yes!"

Yang Xiaotao thought about it carefully, and finally looked at Liu Huaimin and a few others, and then gave a positive answer.

Seeing this, Xu Yuanshan also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Yang Xiaotao agrees, as the chief designer, there is a seventy percent chance that this plan will pass.

Sure enough, Liu Huaimin saw that Yang Xiaotao agreed, and also nodded to Yang Youning.

Soon the crowd agreed.

"I will report this matter to Xia Lao later, and I will do it as the number one important thing in the machinery factory."

Liu Huaimin said, but Yang Xiaotao thought of something, "Lao Liu, it just so happens that there is also a project in the steel factory, you can also report it together." ”

"Huh? What is the situation at the steel plant? ”

"By the way, what kind of oxygen and what converter did you get these days?"

Yang Youning opened his mouth to ask, and Yang Xiaotao nodded.

"That's right, it's called an oxygen top blowing converter, which improves efficiency and reduces energy consumption by pouring oxygen from above!"

"This thing, like the distillation column, as long as it is built, it will be a qualitative leap in steel production."

Liu Huaimin didn't expect Yang Xiaotao's evaluation to be so high.

For a moment, the room was a little too quiet.

Everyone didn't expect that Yang Xiaotao would make a big deal without making a sound.

Syllable!

Yang Youning clapped his hands suddenly, "It's just right, put these two plans together." ”

"I think it's called the Gemini Project."

"The twin star program of the Red Star Machinery Plant. Ha ha! ”

Yang Xiaotao immediately rolled his eyes, you girl, really good.
