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

Chapter 21 Mechanical Genius
A large piece of vacant land on the right side of the Mafang Machinery Factory has been allocated by the commune to the machinery factory for construction.

The new factory building was designed by Wang Haoran himself. It is mainly a casting workshop and a small supporting workshop.

But the construction of the factory will take at least three or four months.

This made Wang Haoran feel a little helpless.

But at this moment, Ma Tao, director of Mafang Commune, came to find Dai Hongtao.

Ma Tao told Dai Hongtao that Yuan Longfei, the director of Pingu County Machinery Factory, learned that Mafang Machinery Factory had developed a complete set of casting equipment, so he applied to Guo Qing, the director of the County Revolutionary Committee, hoping that this set of equipment could be used by the County Machinery Factory.

Because the county machinery factory is now planning to start producing a small diesel generator, it urgently needs a set of casting equipment.

Ma Tao said: "The county hopes that we can be upright and send this equipment over to debug it and see if it can be used."

"Hong Tao, look, do you agree?"

Dai Hongtao felt a little disgusted when he heard it.

Because, this is a typical case of coming here to pick peaches!

However, he couldn't disobey the orders from his superiors.

"Yuan Longfei is quite smart. He must have been keeping an eye on our movements, right?"

"As soon as we saw the results, he jumped out to claim them!"

“It’s so infuriating.”

Dai Hongtao said depressedly.

Ma Tao smiled and said, "I don't think so."

"I think we can actually give them this casting equipment and let them use it first to see if there are any defects or problems. We can improve it later."

Dai Hongtao listened and felt that there was some truth in it.

But he still couldn't be happy.

Because, not to mention that their equipment was taken away by the county machinery factory, the county must also want Wang Haoran.

If the person is taken away, it would be like cutting off the fuel supply!
"I'm worried that they will take Haoran away as well," said Dai Hongtao.

Ma Tao sighed: "That depends on what Wang Haoran thinks."

"If he wants to leave, we can't stop him."

"But I think it's impossible for Haoran to go to the County Machinery Factory. At most he will go there to help them for a few days."

Dai Hongtao said: "Then I will call Haoran over and ask for his opinion."

Wang Haoran was soon called to Dai Hongtao's office.

Dai Hongtao told him that the county machinery factory wanted him to lead the team to develop a set of casting equipment.

After Wang Haoran heard this, he smiled and said, "It's okay to let them test it first."

"Also, we have to ask the county to pay for the equipment. We don't want much, just the cost price of 80 will do."

Dai Hongtao sighed and expressed his concerns: Wang Haoran would go to the county and never come back.

Wang Haoran said, "Director Dai, you are worrying too much."

"I will never leave Mafang Machinery Factory now."

"I want to help our factory develop the agricultural motor tricycle!"

Only then did Dai Hongtao feel relieved.

In the next two days, the Pingu County Machinery Factory began to mobilize transportation forces, and they took away all the casting equipment developed by Wang Haoran and his team.

It took more than ten trucks to complete the journey.

Wang Haoran led the technical staff to work for another four or five days and finally completed the equipment production line.

After the production line was completed, Wang Haoran personally designed the mold and worked out the production process.

Then we started trying to cast the accessories of the diesel generator.

The trial production went smoothly.

On the afternoon of the same day after the production line was installed, the first diesel generator produced by Pingu County Machinery Factory came out.

Moreover, after testing, I found that it is quite good to use.

In this era, due to the shortage of electricity, diesel generators are still used in many scenarios.

I have to say that Yuan Longfei, the director of Pingu County Machinery Factory, has a good vision.

Yuan Longfei was very happy that the diesel generator was successfully produced.

He held Wang Haoran's hand and said, "Comrade Haoran, thank you so much!" "You don't know how much effort we put into launching the diesel generator product!"

"Now, there are almost no companies in the country that can produce a complete set of casting equipment."

"You are such a capable person! You can build a complete set of foundry equipment with a group of workers from the commune."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Director Yuan, don't be polite. We got this casting equipment by sheer luck!"

Yuan Longfei shook his head and said, "Too modest."

"To develop such advanced mechanical equipment, luck alone is not enough."

Yuan Longfei tried again to get Wang Haoran to go to the county machinery factory.

Wang Haoran naturally declined.

The casting equipment developed by Wang Haoran and his team was successfully installed and put into production smoothly. This is quite big news.

This time, it was not only Zhu Feng, a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily, who came to Pingu County for an interview.

Even reporters from People's Daily and Beijing Television came to interview us.

At that time, there was no CCTV. It was not until May 5 of the following year that Beijing Television Station was renamed CCTV.

They witnessed with their own eyes the entire process of installation, debugging and trial production of the casting equipment designed and developed by Wang Haoran.

What can I say about this equipment? The design is quite reasonable and various protective measures are well considered.

Most importantly, it works really well.

Casting is really important for the development of a country's industry.

Although China started producing its own casting equipment very early on, the equipment was quite crude, which meant that the castings were not precise enough.

The next day, several major media outlets reported the incident simultaneously.

Their reports naturally revolve around Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran was described as a mechanical genius.

This genius worked hard to improve himself and study diligently while working at the grassroots level in rural areas, and eventually acquired a set of solid skills.

He can repair tractors and almost any piece of machinery.

He can design mechanical equipment and operate all production equipment to manufacture the mechanical equipment he designed.

The complete set of casting equipment he designed and manufactured is the leading one in China...

In short, Wang Haoran's image as a capable educated youth has been firmly established.

It was not just about establishing his personal image, he also quickly became famous across the country due to extensive coverage by major media outlets.

People all over the country are discussing his deeds...

……

Xiao Renming walked out of the principal's office with documents in his hand to rehabilitate him and reinstate him to work.

He was full of emotions.

Finally, this day has come!

Xiao Renming is a professor of radio at Peking University.

He himself is also an expert in radio.

He has made great contributions to the development of my country's radio industry.

But in the past many years, he has been away from the teaching front line.

Xiao Renming went downstairs, got on his bike and went home.

When he arrived near his home, he happened to meet his wife Lin Yaling.

Lin Yaling also just came back from work.

The two met downstairs, and they both had complicated feelings.

"Is the problem solved?" Xiao Renming asked.

Lin Yaling nodded: "Yes."

"What about you?"

Xiao Renming smiled: "Mine has also been solved."

"Now, is it time to solve the problem of our daughter returning to the city?"
