Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

In the afternoon, after lunch, Zhou Tian had just finished drawing the barrel of the 107 rocket launcher and marked out the detailed specific parameters when he heard a meeting notice on the radio.

Zhou Tian packed up the drawings, left the office, and walked towards the factory's conference room.

"Xiao Tian!"

Before he even entered the meeting room, he heard the section chief's call.

As expected, he turned around and saw Section Chief Nie Guodong walking towards him quickly. After he came to his side, he carefully looked around and saw that no one was around. Then he said with envy in his eyes, "You are really good. I just heard from the workers that you have developed a new boring machine. How is it? Are you going to make another contribution this time?"

"Chief, how can it be that easy?"

Zhou Tian looked at Nie Guodong with envy and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "The performance of this boring machine can't be compared with the original lathe. I just borrowed a lot of designs from the old lathe and made some improvements!"

"This is already pretty good, but to be honest, I really envy you. You have a new project in such a short time!"

Nie Guodong listened to Zhou Tian's words, but he didn't agree with them. Nowadays, in the whole country, everyone is trying to improve foreign products, but some succeed and some fail.

As they talked, the two walked into the conference room side by side. After entering the conference room, they found that there were already quite a few people sitting inside, so they found a corner and sat down.

"Hey, Chief, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to sit here!"

Seeing Nie Guodong sitting in the corner with him, Zhou Tian suddenly felt speechless. You know, most of the people who can attend this meeting are deputy section chiefs and regular section chiefs, while the deputy division chiefs and division chiefs are all sitting in the front row.

Although the section chief also serves as the head of the technical section, his actual rank is deputy director, and his real position is director of the logistics department.

"Stop nagging me. I can sit wherever I want. The factory doesn't care. But you are being too nosy!"

Nie Guodong sat next to Zhou Tian, ​​glared at him and said.

"I......."

Although Zhou Tian wanted to refute, when he thought that Nie Guodong was his direct superior, he could only complain in his heart and had no choice but to hold back.

"By the way, Xiaotian, do you know what the purpose of this meeting is?"

Nie Guodong asked softly, looking at Director Yang who was sitting upright in the main seat.

"You, a big director, don't know, how could I, a small deputy section chief, know?"

Hearing Nie Guodong's question, Zhou Tian became even more annoyed.

Just as Nie Guodong was about to curse, he heard Director Yang cough lightly a few times, and immediately gave Zhou Tian a threatening look, then stopped.

"Okay! It looks like everyone is here. Now let me announce a few important tasks that the department assigned to our factory this morning..."

As Director Yang's words spread in the conference room, Zhou Tian's expression gradually became serious.

It turned out that as the situation on the peninsula intensified again, there was a serious shortage of supplies on the front line, resulting in a large number of casualties among the frontline soldiers.

Therefore, the higher authorities decided to maximize the supply of materials to the frontline. As the political center of the country, the factories in the city must find ways to increase their production capacity and efficiency.

As the first batch of key industrial enterprises, the steel rolling mills had a very arduous task. Next, they not only had to provide sufficient steel plates, steel strips, steel pipes, steel beams, rails and other materials, but also had to assist military factories in producing some precision weapon parts.

Among them, parts for the semi-automatic rifle and AK47 designed by Zhou Tian are also included.

In addition, in order to increase the supply to the factory, the factory decided to recruit and train the workers who were originally scheduled to be allowed to enter the factory on October 1st in advance.

During the meeting, as Director Yang spoke, the cadres attending the meeting couldn't help but show some worry on their faces. It was unclear whether they were worried about the situation on the peninsula or saddened by the large number of casualties among the frontline soldiers.

In short, until the end of the meeting, everyone in the conference room seemed to be still immersed in this news and unable to extricate themselves.

"Okay, let's go!"

After the meeting, Nie Guodong walked out of the meeting room with Zhou Tian with a heavy face. The two walked in silence on the road in the factory.

"Xiaotian, what do you think about what the factory director said today?"

Zhou Tian was confused by the chief's words. He didn't understand why he asked him this question. To be honest, he didn't have much idea about this matter.

After all, those who lag behind will be beaten, this is an eternal truth.

As for the resolution made above, he thought it was perfectly normal. After all, in wartime, the country must give priority to ensuring supplies to the front lines.

As the steel mill in the city, they could only support it. Besides, this was not a bad thing.

"Chief, I don't have any opinion!"

Facing Nie Guodong's puzzlement, Zhou Tian said frankly: "In fact, in my opinion, it is the most correct choice for the country to do this. Without a country, there is no home. Since the front line is short of supplies, then we will produce more!"

"If there are not enough workers, we will recruit more. If the efficiency is not high, we will improve it. In short, as long as we can win this war, everything will be worth it!"

"Yes! Everything is worth it. It's such a simple truth. I didn't expect that I can't see it as clearly as a child like you!"

Upon hearing this, Nie Guodong was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses, put a smile on his face and said.

"Hey, Chief, please don't belittle me like that. I'm an adult, why are you still calling me a child? That's too disrespectful!"

Zhou Tian suddenly became anxious and complained.

"Why, I said you were a child, was I wrong? How old are you? How old am I? If your father were still alive, he might be my age!"

Nie Guodong listened to Zhou Tian's complaints and immediately said with a teasing look on his face.

"Humph, I won't talk to you anymore!"

Zhou Tian said this, turned around and walked towards the technical department.

"This kid is very open-minded about big things, but when it comes to small things, he still has a childish temper!"

Nie Guodong looked at Zhou Tian's back and couldn't help laughing, muttering to himself.

Zhou Tian returned to the technical department, and when he thought of Nie Guodong's words, he felt a little upset. You know, he hasn't been treated as a child for a long time, but Nie Guodong's words just now almost made him lose control of his emotions.

But when he returned to the office and sat down to calm down, he couldn't help laughing and felt that he was indeed a little childish. After all, his behavior just now did not seem mature and steady at all.

After thinking about it, he could only say that perhaps he could only show his true side in front of people like Nie Guodong who had helped him.

Thinking of what Director Yang said at the meeting just now, he had only heard about it in his previous life and had not experienced it personally. Now that he is truly in this era, he understands how significant the meaning behind this number is.

In his previous life, he only knew about the Peninsula War from some movies and specific casualty figures, and that it was very tragic. Now that he had experienced it personally, he understood the huge sacrifices behind these figures.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but fall silent again. As an ordinary person, he couldn't play any role in such a war that could change the world situation.

The only thing he can do now is to invent as many weapons as possible, hoping that the final outcome can change the fate of some people. That is enough.

After thinking about it, he took a deep breath, opened the drawer, took out the drawings of the 107 multiple rocket launcher again, and continued drawing.

After get off work in the afternoon, Zhou Tian returned home and immediately told his family about the factory’s decision.

"What? Xiaotian, you said we can report to the factory tomorrow?"

When Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Zhou Jun, and Zhou Min heard Zhou Tian’s words, they couldn’t help but feel happy. Even Zhou Jun and Zhou Min were so happy that they almost jumped up.

God knows, they have lived here for nearly a month, but seeing that the recruitment information has not been implemented, they have always been uneasy. Now that they have received the confirmed news, how can they not be happy.

"Yes, Uncle and Aunt, Xiaojun, Xiaomin, you will come with me to the factory to report tomorrow!"

Zhou Tian smiled and looked at his second uncle's family. In fact, Zhou Tian had already been aware of his second uncle's family's thoughts during this period. However, the factory decided to recruit workers on October 1st. Even if he wanted to let his second uncle's family enter the factory in advance, he was powerless. Now that the time has been advanced, his second uncle and his family should be relieved!
