The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 12 Why I Want to Be a Role Model [Please Collect and Read]

Zhu Feng exclaimed in admiration: "He is more than just a senior fitter! I feel like Comrade Haoran can do almost any job!"

"But the most important thing is that he can actually invent things!"

“There are only a few factories in China that can produce bending machines!”

"If our Mafang Machinery Factory can produce bending machines, we will be commended by our superiors!"

Wang Haoran said: "Let's test it to see if this device can work properly!"

Dai Hongtao nodded and smiled, "That makes sense! More than 20 people have worked hard for nearly three hours. It would be a great disappointment if the machine didn't work."

"Comrade Haoran, we don't have the materials for producing wheel hubs here, what should we do?"

Wang Haoran said: "Then use 8mm thin steel bars!"

"Bend thin steel bars into a wheel shape, weld the spokes on, and then cover them with rubber, and it will work."

Wang Haoran operated it himself. He placed an 8mm steel bar on the bending machine and turned on the switch.

The onlookers held their breath.

Now, it's time to witness a miracle.

I saw that the 8mm steel bar began to bend, and just by visual inspection I could tell that the circle it was folded into was very standard.

Soon, the steel bar was folded into three circles.

Bending machine, success!
The onlookers began to applaud and cheer enthusiastically.

Everyone was very excited because bending machines are really useful equipment. It is a great achievement that a small Mafang Machinery Factory can manufacture bending machines!

Dai Hongtao was so happy that his mouth almost reached his ears.

He was also a veteran. He came over and gave Wang Haoran a bear hug, saying, "Comrade Haoran! You are such a talent!"

"I sincerely invite you to come to work in our machinery factory! We will process your formalization as a regular employee right away! Your salary can be paid as a mid-level worker!"

Wang Haoran smiled and shook his head and said, "I still hope to gain experience in the countryside for a while. In addition, I want to go to university for further studies. So, I'm sorry, Director Dai."

Dai Hongtao was a little disappointed after hearing this.

However, he still refused to give up. He said, "Come to our factory to work first. It won't delay your future college education. Our factory can also recommend you to go to college. There is no problem with that."

When it comes to being recommended to a university, you have no choice but to passively accept the indicators set by the school.

However, to study in a good university, the starting point is much higher.

If you start from a high point, you will be able to take on important tasks more quickly.

Besides, this year's system of recommending students to go to university is likely to be suspended.

Wang Haoran said, "I'm sorry, Director Dai, I don't want to leave the countryside for the time being."

"Even if you don't work in our factory, you can still make contributions to our factory."

Dai Hongtao knew that Wang Haoran had already made up his mind.

He had no choice but to say, "Okay, think about it carefully."

After the bending machine was built, it became much faster to build the multifunctional manual seeding machine.

With everyone working together, it took just over half an hour to build it.

After it was built, it was tested in the yard of the Mafang Machinery Factory.

The test results show that this human-powered machine is very useful whether it is used to plant corn or cotton.

Moreover, the spacing between seeds can be adjusted. "It saves time and effort and greatly improves efficiency. It is really a good thing!" Zhu Feng said with admiration.

Dai Hongtao said: "Reporter Zhu, please promote it well and try to bring us some orders."

Zhu Feng smiled and said, "That's absolutely no problem."

He glanced at Wang Haoran again and said, "Comrade Haoran is amazing. We are currently looking for role models at the grassroots level. I think you are a rare role model! I will write an article to report your deeds after I return."

Wang Haoran felt very lucky.

I just came to the Mafang Machinery Factory to show off my mechanical skills and start to establish my own persona, but I didn't expect to meet a reporter.

Basically, once a model of this era is established, it will get a lot of publicity opportunities.

With extensive publicity, it will soon become famous throughout the country.

By that time, a large amount of resources will be tilted towards the model.

Wang Haoran is not trying to gain benefits for himself. What he is thinking now is that after he becomes famous and receives attention, he can get more opportunities and resources to make more and greater contributions to the country.

Zhu Feng said he wanted to report his story and package him as a role model, so Wang Haoran still had to be humble.

"Comrade Zhu Feng, in fact, there are many people and things at the grassroots level that are more worthy of reporting than me. What I do is very insignificant," Wang Haoran said modestly.

Zhu Feng waved his hand and said, "I have learned about your deeds. Your father was a martyr, and you yourself took the initiative to ask to go to the countryside. You were able to be so motivated while farming in the countryside, and you were able to invent and create by self-study. This is so rare! You are the young people most needed in the new era!"

At noon that day, Dai Hongtao invited Zhu Feng and Wang Haoran to have lunch in the factory cafeteria.

During the meal, Wang Haoran gave Dai Hongtao some advice: If Mafang Machinery Factory wants to be reborn and transform from a small township factory into a large enterprise, it can no longer be satisfied with small-scale operations, but must try to make some advanced products.

Dai Hongtao asked, what advanced products can a small factory like Mafang Machinery Factory produce?
Wang Haoran told him that he could try to produce motorized tricycles.

At the dinner table, he gestured the shape, features and uses of the motorized tricycle.

Motorized tricycles were quite popular in rural areas from the 90s to the early 2000s.

This type of vehicle is simple to manufacture and is widely used in rural areas.

After listening to Wang Haoran's explanation, Dai Hongtao sighed and said, "We don't have money to buy equipment!"

"According to what you said, we need to purchase too many new equipment. At the very least, we need to buy a set of casting equipment or something. Casting equipment is hard to come by right now, and there is a nationwide shortage of it."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Director Dai, if we don't have money to buy equipment, we can make the equipment ourselves..."

“Foundry machinery and equipment are indeed a series of relatively complex equipment, but it is not a problem to make them yourself.”

After building a bending machine this morning, Wang Haoran's confidence increased significantly.

He felt that he could fully lead the people at the Mafang Machinery Factory to manually build a series of production equipment.

Just like what the boatman did in his previous life, he built production equipment by hand and developed little by little, and finally BYD became a world-renowned company.

Dai Hongtao looked at Wang Haoran with a sharp gaze: "Comrade Haoran, you say it so easily, but the technical staff in our factory are not up to the level of making our own equipment!"

"You refuse to transfer to work, what should we do?"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Director Dai can negotiate with Li Caicun. If you give me work points, I can come and help every day. There is no problem."

Dai Hongtao sighed: "Why bother?!"

"You can just transfer here to be a worker, why do you have to make it so complicated?"

Zhao Yougui said at this time: "I know why Wang Haoran is unwilling to come to our factory."
