Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Jiang Chen's words touched upon everyone's blind spots in knowledge.

It can even be said that it is completely beyond their understanding and cognitive scope.

This is not a fantasy.

Zhou Xinjian and Huang Lao looked at each other and asked each other: "A machine used for calculation can change the world and connect everything. Do you believe this?"

Huang Lao was stunned: "You ask me about your Ministry of Industry?"

Obviously, he still didn't believe it.

However, Jiang Chen had just come up with scientific research results on high-precision machine tools, which would be of great help to their military.

Even if he doesn't believe it, he won't say it directly.

Zhou Xinjian turned to Jiang Chen and said: "Xiao Jiang, it's not that I don't support your work, but this idea can be biased, but it must not be evil."

"Your idea is really too whimsical. I'm afraid it won't be approved even if the project is approved."

Jiang Chen said: "We can do it step by step when it comes to establishing the project. We should study computers first, and then gradually go deeper."

"Many things that can really change the world are just whimsical before they are truly studied."

"For example, a hundred years ago, no one thought that people could sit in an iron sheet and fly in the sky, right? No one thought that with just a wire, we could talk to people thousands of miles away, right?"

"No one has ever thought that we humans can level a city of hundreds of thousands of people with just a few clicks of our fingers, right?"

"So, we must not use the current situation to set limits on our thinking. We must dare to think first, and then we will have results."

Huang Laodao: "This time, I stand by Xiao Jiang. I won't say whether things can come true, but you must dare to think and dare to try and make mistakes."

"Looking forward and backward is not suitable for scientific research."

"To be honest, we need high-precision machine tools, but before coming here today, I never dared to think that we could have the most precise machine tools in the world, but surprises always come so suddenly."

"This also shows that Xiao Jiang is a child who can create miracles."

It can be seen that Mr. Huang and Zhou Xinjian should have a good relationship.

Otherwise, he would not have intervened in this kind of work matter, and he would have clearly given his opinion.

Zhou Xinjian pondered for a moment: "Well, since you all said so, I won't say anything else."

"But Xiao Jiang, you have to remember one thing. Our country is still in a difficult situation right now. You must try to reduce the waste of resources as much as possible during your work."

"If you find that this path is not feasible, you must stop losses and stop research in time to avoid placing too great a burden on the finances."

Jiang Chen said: "Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I know."

"You see, when I was doing research, I didn't just save what I could. We did everything we could do ourselves, and we didn't waste resources that we could not waste."

"By the way, Mr. Zhou, this is the model studied by the Institute of Technology. We may need to ask the Ministry of Industry to distribute it to all industrial departments across the country."

"In addition, as for the project approval team, my idea is that there will be one person from the Ministry of Industry, one person from the Secretariat, plus me and the representative. The four of us will directly determine whether the project can be approved based on the principle of the minority obeying the majority. Set it for him."

Zhou Xinjian frowned: "The four of you must not always have two people in favor and two people against it. How can the minority obey the majority?"

In this method where the minority obeys the majority, it is best if the number of people is an odd number, and there will be no tie.

This is why the United Nations is composed of the Five Permanent Members, not the Four Permanent Members, nor the Sixth Permanent Representative.

Jiang Chen chuckled: "As the dean of the Seed Industry Institute, I have a little privilege, isn't it too much?"

“So, my vote counts as 1.01 votes, so there won’t be a tie.”

Zhou Xinjian was stunned: "Good guy, just say that if there is a draw, your opinion will prevail."

Jiang Chen chuckled: "That's what it means, but let's put it another way, it sounds better."

This is not because Jiang Chen loves power more, but because he has been a man for two generations, he naturally knows better which projects are valuable and which projects are worthless.

This can also avoid detours and reduce waste of resources.

Zhou Xinjian said: "You have to discuss these matters with Lao Yue. It's useless for us to discuss it now. It has to be decided by the higher ups."

Although the Seed Engineering Institute still belongs to the industrial category, it is a unit directly subordinate to it, so Jiang Chen's reporting process has also changed.

Jiang Chen said: "I know, but after all, I still belong to the industrial sector, so I thought if something happened, I'd better report to Mr. Zhou first and listen to your opinion, and then go to the top."

Seeing that Mr. Huang and Zhou Xinjian showed extraordinary concern, they didn't have to worry so much about rewards and punishments.

Jiang Chen was indirectly expressing goodwill, and also seemed to be taking sides.

Regardless of whether the Industrial Institute is under your jurisdiction or not, I regard you as my leader.

From a work perspective, Zhou Xinjian has always been supportive of his work and given him enough trust and support.

Such a leader is a good leader.

Privately, Zhou Xinjian is Luo Rui's master and Luo Xue's elder, so they can be considered old friends.

Let’s not talk about finding a backer, but we need to maintain a good relationship if things are small.

If there is no one above who can talk to him, if something unexpected happens in the future, he will be called off every day.

The corner of Zhou Xinjian's mouth raised slightly: "That's okay. If something happens in the future, I will give you a reference first, so that you don't rush forward with your head blankly and offend others without knowing it."

"You are good at everything. You are the kind of person who can poke a hole in you even if you don't care about your temper."

These words are very much like an elder teaching a junior.

Huang Lao curled his lips: "Lao Zhou, just be content. It would be great if there were more people like Jiang Chen in the flower gardening family."

"By the way, if possible, you'd better arrange for the production of that body steel as soon as possible. We need it."

Zhou Xinjian said: "You're welcome, you want everything."

Huang Laodao: "Hey, I just happened to come here today, and Xiao Jiang also happened to come to report to you, and I happened to hear it. Isn't this arranged by God?"

Jiang Chen said: "Now the workers at the Steel City Steel Plant have basically mastered the smelting method of this kind of steel. If possible, let them pilot the smelting first."

"Actually, when this kind of steel was developed, the first thing I thought of was the 10,000-ton cargo ship at Dalian Shipyard that was forced to stop construction in the middle of its construction."

"On the way to the steel capital, I happened to meet a comrade from the shipyard. He said that after Big Brother withdrew, the freighter was forced to stop work due to lack of structural steel."

"It makes me sad to hear that. As a country as big as ours, we have to completely rely on others to even build a ship. When others put aside the blame, we are dumbfounded."

"I was so sad at the time. So, I thought that once this kind of steel comes out, I would resume the construction of the freighter first."

"Let them also see that without them, we can still ship the freighter earlier, and even build it better."

Zhou Xinjian took a deep breath: "Yes, we left as soon as we said we were going, without leaving any time for us to prepare."

"After all, it's better to rely on yourself than to rely on others."

Finally, Zhou Xinjian promised that Yue Zexin would get Jiang Chen a computer as soon as possible.

Although he is not optimistic about this project and even thinks it is too fake and empty-handed, he deserves more support based on the results submitted by Jiang Chen.

Even if this project really doesn't work, it doesn't matter.

Scientific research definitely involves trial and error costs.
