Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

As for the father-in-law Shen Jie and mother-in-law standing by, they were also stunned.

They thought that the Zhou Tian family was just an ordinary family, but they didn't expect they had such a history.

But after coming to their senses, they had to admit that the old man's caution was correct. Today's developments have clearly proved that the old man's approach was forward-looking.

As the saying goes, an old man in the family is always a treasure. If the old man had not made a choice in time, the Zhou family might have been criticized now.

Since he knew that the events in Zhoujia Village would not have much impact on his family, Zhou Tian no longer paid too much attention to it.

October 1952, 10.

The two-day holiday is over and today is the day for the workers to start work.

Early in the morning, after finishing their breakfast, the workers walked out of their homes, some in groups of three or five, all talking about the exciting scenes on National Day.

Each of them seemed to have transformed into a military expert who was in charge of the country's affairs. When talking about the weapons displayed on National Day, they talked a lot and knew every weapon on display like the back of their hand.

Zhou Tian was riding a bicycle on the road, ringing the bell constantly.

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard everyone talking so excitedly.

But one cannot help but sigh that the sense of belonging to the country of people in this era is simply unimaginable to people in previous lives.

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the gate of the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory, got off the car, and pushed his bicycle toward the factory.

"Hello, Chief!" The guard at the door stood straight and saluted Zhou Tian neatly.

"Hello to you too!"

Zhou Tian nodded to the two guards and pushed the cart inside.

After parking his bicycle in a bicycle shed at a corner of the administration building, Zhou Tian walked into the administration building and headed towards his office. When he opened the door, he saw that the office had been completely renovated.

Zhou Tian smiled with satisfaction, he knew that this must have been done by Liu Yuan.

He first poured himself a cup of tea, then sat down and started to deal with the work in the factory.

The work in the factory is not complicated. After all, he has already decentralized power, and now he is only responsible for the general direction of the factory.

Half an hour later, after finishing the factory's official business, Zhou Tian took out the blueprint and continued to draw the engine.

When talking about engines, the first things that come to mind are car engines and diesel engines.

Automotive engines are mostly used in the automotive industry, while diesel engines are widely used in tractors, ships, trains and heavy vehicles.

Just like the engine Zhou Tian developed when he was studying tractors, it was a diesel engine. Of course, due to the insufficient domestic industrial level at that time, the diesel engine he developed at that time was only a single-cylinder diesel engine.

And now that he has decided to use the machine tools he secretly developed as the next production project of the machinery factory, the machine tools of the machinery factory will definitely be updated.

Single-cylinder diesel engines naturally need to be improved.

As the saying goes, industrial standards determine research progress. As long as the factory updates all the machine tools by then, it is not impossible to launch more advanced two-cylinder or four-cylinder diesel engines.

The development of an internal combustion engine is not completely impossible.

As long as he had the right materials, internal combustion engines or two-cylinder diesel engines were not that difficult for him. After all, compared to other industries, engines were not a small thing for a person who had awakened his past life memories.

Thinking of the materials, Zhou Tian suddenly realized that it was time to write down the formulas of the various materials in his mind.

After all, with the oxygen top-blown converter, it was time for some materials to appear.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tian took out a blank drawing and wrote on it the formulas of dozens of special basic materials that he had memorized in his previous life.

Of course, these formulas are only part of what he remembers in his mind. It’s not that he doesn’t want to write them all down, but even if he writes them down, there are currently no conditions in the country to conduct research.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to produce these simple basic materials first. When the conditions are met, start researching new materials. This would be a good thing not only for him, but also for the country.

After finishing writing the material formula, Zhou Tian called out to the outside: "Xiao Liu!"

"Director, you're looking for me?"

Liu Yuan quickly opened the door and walked in, asking respectfully.

"Well, go find Section Chief Dong from the Technical Department."

"Okay, director."

Liu Yuan responded, turned around and walked out.

Zhou Tian looked at the dozens of special material formulas in his hand. Although these formulas could be said to be outdated or even obsolete in his previous life, in this era, these materials are enough to fill the gap in materials in the country.

Just like P-type steel, there are more than a dozen types of these special materials, including corrosion-resistant, high-pressure resistant, high-temperature resistant, high-strength steel, and low-strength steel.

There are also some special materials needed for the engine he is designing, such as aluminum alloy, hard steel, etc. These materials together are priceless.

Fortunately, the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory was a semi-military factory, otherwise he would not dare to take out these material formulas at the steel rolling mill.

"Director, you're looking for me!"

Just then, Liu Yuan and Dong Cheng walked in from outside.

Perhaps it is a common problem among technicians, but today Dong Cheng is wearing a pair of glasses and looks quite gentle, and you can't tell at all that he was a former soldier.

"Well! You sit down first."

Zhou Tian pointed in the direction of the sofa and motioned Dong Cheng to sit down first.

Liu Yuan poured Dong Cheng a cup of tea, then closed the door and left.

"Chief Dong, I remember your resume said that you studied materials science abroad, right?"

Zhou Tian asked with a smile.

"Yes, Director, I studied materials engineering at Bald Eagle."

Although Dong Cheng didn't know why the factory director asked him this question, he still answered truthfully.

"Well, since you studied materials science, I would like to show you the formulas of dozens of materials. See if your technical department can research these materials."

As Zhou Tian spoke, he picked up the material formula he had just written, walked to the sofa, and handed the drawing to Dong Cheng.

As for suspecting Dong Cheng of being a spy, this is simply impossible. After all, Dong Cheng was able to enter the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory as the head of the technical department, and he was qualified in both background and political review.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to gain the trust of the leaders. Most importantly, although the formulas of these materials are priceless to China, they are not considered advanced materials to foreign countries.

Of course, there are several types that may not have been researched abroad yet, but they will be developed soon.

"Material formula?"

Dong Cheng was stunned by the factory director's words. As a materials expert, he naturally understood the development of domestic materials.

It is clear that the development of domestic materials science is still in its infancy. However, when he looked down at the dozens of formulas on the drawings in his hand, Dong Cheng really couldn't figure out where the factory director got so many material formulas.

Even a few of them shocked him. You know, the material formula is a highly confidential matter in any country. And the factory director actually handed it to him like this.

"Director, is this formula real?"

Looking at the formula in his hand, with an undisguised look of shock on his face, he couldn't help but ask.

"Whether it's true or not, as a materials expert, you should make your own judgment, but there is one thing I want to make clear: these formulas must be kept strictly confidential."
