Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

Cai Quanwu followed He Yuzhu's instructions and immediately arranged for several of his subordinates to go to the Changping Ming Tombs area. The result was exactly as He Yuzhu had guessed. The archaeological team organized by the government was short of manpower and hired villagers near Dingling to participate in the excavation work. Many things that the villagers thought were worthless were discarded at will. After the subordinates reported the chaotic situation near the excavation site to Cai Quanwu, Cai Quanwu went to the excavation site in person after explaining the matter of the tavern.

After Cai Quanwu learned about the actual situation at the scene, he immediately told his brothers to start a business of collecting used goods in the nearby villages. After telling his brothers, Cai Quanwu left the Ming Tombs with the small gadgets he had received and returned to Sijiu City. What Cai Quanwu did not expect was that one of the smarter brothers was called Cui Xiaoniu, the younger brother of Cui Xiaowei. This man relied on his intelligence and ability to talk to get in touch with the archaeological team. In 1959, he bought the three golden nanmu coffins unearthed from Dingling from the archaeological team, changing the original practice of the archaeological team to randomly discard the golden nanmu coffins in the back mountain, thereby preventing the golden nanmu from being picked up by villagers, and invisibly saving several people who died because of the golden nanmu.

After the formal establishment of the machinery manufacturing plant, as workers assigned by the superior departments and the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill arrived one after another, the original truck repair workshop could no longer meet the needs, so He Yuzhu decided to rename it as Workshop 1. At the same time, a construction team responsible for the construction of the new workshop also came. With the continuous addition of new employees, the strength of the machinery manufacturing plant has been significantly improved, which further promoted the development of Jeep and the localization speed of Dodge trucks.

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. At the end of June 1958, Teacher Li Yang excitedly found He Yuzhu who was working in the steelmaking workshop.

"Director He, good news!" He Yuzhu was busy in the steelmaking workshop when he suddenly heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw that it was Teacher Li Yang.

He Yuzhu was delighted and hurried over to ask, "Teacher Li, what are you so happy about?"

Teacher Li Yang smiled and said, "Director He, this is not the place to talk. Please tell the workers a few words and we'll go out and talk." After that, He Yuzhu followed Teacher Li Yang's instructions and walked towards the workers next to him and briefly explained the work arrangements.

Teacher Li Yang looked at He Yuzhu's serious and responsible look and nodded secretly in his heart. He knew that He Yuzhu had always been a very rigorous and serious person, and he was meticulous in his work.

After a while, He Yuzhu came over and took Teacher Li Yang out of the steelmaking workshop. When they came to the open space outside, He Yuzhu couldn't wait to ask, "Teacher Li, what is the good news? Look how excited you are."

Teacher Li Yang's face flushed with excitement. He took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and then slowly said: "Director He, the jeep research was successful! The jeep we developed has passed all the tests and can be put into production. This is the hard work of all our factory staff!"

He Yuzhu was surprised when he heard this. He widened his eyes and couldn't believe his ears. He didn't expect that they actually developed a jeep. You know, in that era, the jeep was a very advanced means of transportation. It was a miracle that they could develop it independently.

"That's great! Where is the prototype that passed the test? Take me to see it." He Yuzhu said eagerly. He couldn't wait to see this jeep independently developed by their factory.

"The jeep is in a workshop. Before I came to see you, I asked my classmates to bring the workers to do another comprehensive inspection of the jeep to make sure everything is in good condition."

He Yuzhu showed excitement on his face and hurriedly walked towards the first workshop, followed closely by teacher Li Yang. Because he was too eager to see the jeep, He Yuzhu's pace became so fast that teacher Li Yang had to jog to keep up.

After entering the first workshop, He Yuzhu slowed down his pace, smiling and nodding to the workers who greeted him. Amid the greetings of "Hello, Director He", He Yuzhu finally walked to the jeep prototype parked in the middle of the first workshop.

When the workers saw He Yuzhu coming, they took the initiative to make way for him. He Yuzhu stared at the jeep in front of him, whose shell had not yet been installed, with anticipation and curiosity in his heart. He slowly approached and carefully observed every detail of the car body. Although the shell was missing, the basic structure of the vehicle had been formed and all the parts were complete. He Yuzhu walked around the car several times, then stood in front of the front of the car, gently stroking the body and feeling the texture of the metal. After a while, he looked up and said to a worker next to him: "Can you help me start the jeep? I want to drive it out for a ride myself."

"Okay, Director He." After saying that, the worker immediately started He Yuzhu's jeep according to He Yuzhu's instructions. As the four-cylinder gasoline engine started, the engine made a low sound. Listening to the low sound of the engine, He Yuzhu sat in the driver's seat. He Yuzhu felt the comfort of the seat, then gently stepped on the accelerator with his right foot, and then the gasoline engine roared. Then He Yuzhu gently stepped on the clutch with his left foot, and then shifted the gear to first gear. As He Yuzhu slowly lifted his left foot, the jeep slowly moved, and the surrounding workers hurriedly made way.

He Yuzhu stepped on the accelerator lightly, and the jeep's speed increased instantly. He Yuzhu drove the jeep frame around the area in the machinery manufacturing plant that was specially reserved for testing vehicles. After trying all five forward gears and reverse gears, he drove the car back to the workshop with satisfaction. This was not the first time He Yuzhu participated in the jeep test. During the many jeep tests, He Yuzhu took the opportunity to learn how to drive a car.

After parking the jeep and turning off the engine, He Yuzhu stood on the frame of the jeep and shouted to the workers around him: "My fellow workers, this is great! This jeep is great to drive. Now I declare that our domestically-made jeep has been officially developed successfully. All we need to do next is install the shell of the jeep, and then we can report the results of our six months of hard work to our superiors." After that, He Yuzhu gave a thumbs up to all the workers present to express his recognition of them.

The workers cheered loudly, their faces were filled with joy and pride. After He Yuzhu and the other workers had vented their excitement, he looked at everyone with a smile, his eyes shining with determination. He continued, "Although we have only successfully developed the prototype, this is just the beginning. We have more difficult tasks waiting for us. As long as the jeep we build passes the review of the higher authorities, we will start the production of the jeep. I hope that everyone can maintain the high spirits now and devote themselves to the production of the jeep, so that the jeeps we manufacture will appear in every corner of the motherland."

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, the workers nodded and said that they would go all out. They knew that the production of jeeps would face more challenges and difficulties, but they also firmly believed that they would be able to overcome all difficulties and complete the task. At this time, a worker in the crowd stood up and said excitedly: "Director He, don't worry, we must make more jeeps and let the jeeps we produce run in every corner of the motherland. If 10,000 vehicles are not enough, we will produce 100,000 vehicles; if 100,000 vehicles are not enough, we will produce 1 million vehicles!" The words of this worker were full of determination and confidence, and received a warm response from other workers. They all expressed their willingness to contribute their own strength to the production of jeeps and make it an important tool for the construction of the motherland.

He Yuzhu was very pleased to hear these words. He knew that the workers had deep feelings and expectations for the Jeep and were willing to work hard for this goal. He believed that with these enthusiastic workers, the production of the Jeep would be a huge success. So he encouraged: "Okay, let's work together to make the Jeep the pride of our factory and make it make greater contributions to the construction of the motherland!" As He Yuzhu's voice fell, warm applause and cheers rang out again at the scene. The workers were full of passion to devote themselves to the production of the Jeep. They would interpret their love for the motherland and their beautiful vision for the future with practical actions.

He Yuzhu got off the jeep and came to Teacher Li Yang. "Teacher Li, next I'll trouble you to lead the workers to quickly produce the shell of the jeep. Only when the shell of the jeep is produced and installed on the jeep can it be considered a complete car."

"Director He, don't worry, I will produce the shell as quickly as possible. By the way, Director He, what color do you think is suitable for the body of this first car?" Teacher Li Yang asked.

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "I think red and green are better. Red is to commemorate the heroes who sacrificed their lives for national independence, and green represents the vitality and hope of our country's future. Of course, this is just my personal suggestion. In practice, it is recommended to consider the paint spraying process and cost-effectiveness. See which paint has the lowest cost and use that paint."

"Red and green are definitely stunning, but if you consider the cost, black paint is the cheapest and easiest to spray." Teacher Li Yang answered after thinking for a moment.

"Then let's use black. By the way, Mr. Li, if the jeep can pass the review of the higher authorities and get approval for production, I suggest that we find ways to improve the efficiency of the jeep manufacturing process. For example, for the shell, can we try to use machine tools to directly stamp it out? This is much faster than workers hammering it out bit by bit with their hands."

"Director He, the method you mentioned is indeed good. I will take my classmates to try it out and see if we can achieve integrated stamping of exterior parts."

"Thank you, Teacher Li and the students, for your hard work."
