Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Zhang Jiacheng smiled and said, "Director, don't worry. To put it bluntly, their equipment is just equipment taken out of the factory workshop and replaced with a new shell. The inside is not touched at all. The data is the same as the equipment we repaired."

Director Yang was relieved, but he still asked, "How is it going now? Have the data on the operation of the workshop equipment come out?"

"Director, don't be so anxious. It has only been running for a few days. I plan to record the operating data for 10 days and report it then. Don't worry, the current data has already shown a % improvement in performance."

"Okay, that's good. My boss asked me about it today, but I didn't dare to tell the truth. I just said it was still being assembled."

"Director Yang, you're going to be scolded by your leader again this time for hiding such a big thing." Zhang Jiacheng said jokingly.

"What are you afraid of? As long as you take out the stuff, I will keep it a secret. Just make two copies of the experimental data and say that they were just assembled. Give me the actual data and I will tell the leader secretly."

Zhang Jiacheng and Jiang Feng smiled but said nothing. Director Yang took out two packs of cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the boss with a painful expression, "I got these from the boss's car today. One pack for each of you. When you go back, make sure everything is safe."

The two men sat up straight and said, "Make sure to complete the mission."

After saying that, he picked up the cigarette in his hand and looked at it. There was a green shell with two words "Special Supply" written on it. The two looked at each other, put the cigarette in their pockets, and turned to look at Director Yang again.

Director Yang looked at the tacit understanding between the two and took out another pack from his pocket. He handed a cigarette to each of them. The two lit up their cigarettes happily. The taste of Guobao's cigarettes was indeed different.

When they arrived at the factory, the two immediately went to the workshop. The machines were still operating normally, and people were arranged to operate them from time to time, making workpieces of various levels and recording data.

Director Yang was really anxious this time. He came every one or two days to ask about it. The superiors had praised the factory over there, and one leader even said that they wanted to give the title of industry model to a certain factory. The superior rejected it and said, "Without the information provided by the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, can you make a replica yourself?"

The leader who made the suggestion was speechless. On August 8, Zhang Jiacheng found Director Yang with 20 days of operating data. After looking at the data, Director Yang immediately called the senior leader and asked him to come and check it out because the lathe was produced completely independently and its performance was 25% higher than the original one.

Zhang Jiacheng was also very excited. The first lathe produced independently in China was born in his hands. He said to Director Yang: "Director Yang, this is the first lathe produced independently in China. We need to give it a good name."

Director Yang stood there thinking for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Name it Red Star Brand, and print it on the machines for me. Even if the leaders come, I won't change it. I want all of China to use Red Star brand machines."

Zhang Jiacheng hurried back to check. When it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, the senior leader came and took Director Yang to the R&D workshop. Looking at the brand new machinery, he only asked one question: "Is it really designed and produced independently?"

Director Yang raised his head and said, "Yes, I can provide the design drawings."

"Okay, okay, you guys wait tomorrow. The minister will be here, and maybe there will be a leader above us, but it hasn't been decided yet."

"There's a higher-level leader coming up. Do you know who it is?"

"Don't ask if you don't have to."

After being approved, Director Yang became elated. The news that someone might come made Director Yang extremely excited. He might come. They were the same group of people above the minister. They must be related to the metallurgical industry. He couldn't think about it anymore. The whereabouts of the leader was not something that Director Yang could guess.

Director Yang did not tell anyone what the boss said. After receiving the call early the next morning, he organized the staff to start preparations and hung two banners with slogans, one of which read: "Deepen research and development, independent production" and the other read: "Iron ambition, create glory."

Workers holding banners stood on both sides, waiting for the leader to arrive. At 10 a.m., a line of cars drove over. Director Yang stood in front and led the cars directly into the steel rolling mill. Director Yang opened the car door and saw the leader get out. Another person got out from behind. Director Yang quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hands and said, "Minister, you are here."

The minister extended his hand and shook hands with Director Yang, saying, "Well, I heard your factory is very good. Come down with Deputy Minister Wang to take a look."

"Welcome, welcome, please come in."

"Let's not go to the meeting room, let's go directly to the workshop." After the minister finished speaking, the people in the cars behind got off. Director Yang looked at the big leader, Deputy Minister Wang, who nodded. Director Yang stepped forward and led the two leaders to the workshop. They didn't speak all the way. When they arrived at the door of the workshop, Jiang Feng was still waiting at the door, but this time he didn't chat with the leaders. At the signal of Director Yang, he led the few people to the workshop.

Now the workshop has stopped production and operation. Director Yang first looked at the minister and Deputy Minister Wang, and they nodded. Master Jiang walked forward and opened the lathe, and the machine roared. The minister walked around the lathe and asked some questions, all of which were answered by Deputy Minister Wang. The relevant information had been given to Deputy Minister Wang yesterday.

After the director left, Master Jiang picked up a workpiece, stood in front of the lathe, fixed the workpiece and started processing. After more than 20 minutes, he picked up the workpiece and handed it to Zhang Jiacheng who was waiting on the side. Zhang Jiacheng took a look at it first, then took the measuring tool to measure it, and said with a trembling voice: "Director, the workpiece is qualified and the precision has reached the excellent standard."

The minister took the lead in applauding, and the workshop was filled with thunderous applause. Deputy Minister Wang waited for a moment and spoke to Director Yang, who then called all the leaders to the meeting room, and Zhang Jiacheng followed behind.

When they arrived at the meeting room, Director Yang and his colleagues put the design drawings on the table, picked up the information, and reported the machining time, assembly time, and twenty days of operation data one by one. The minister sat in the middle, nodding from time to time.

Finally, the minister spoke up: "I think it's great. Comrade Yang Guowei is innovative. Today's slogan is very good. Deeply cultivate research and development and independently produce. This is our first step. There are many more steps to go. We need everyone here to continue to work hard. I see the words "Red Star" printed on the machine. Is this the name you plan to use?"

Director Yang said with a stiff upper lip: "Yes, we thought that the machine was manufactured by the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, and this machine was intended to be a gift for National Day, a red star facing the sun, so I named the brand of this machine Red Star."

"Well, Comrade Guowei's name is very good. It not only reflects the brand of its own products and makes the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill well-known, but also reflects the consciousness of moving closer to D. His ideological awareness is very high."

After the minister finished speaking, Deputy Minister Wang led the applause. Director Yang felt relieved. With these words, the name was decided.

When the applause died down, Vice Minister Wang whispered something in the minister's ear, and the minister nodded. Vice Minister Wang stood up and said, "Let's leave it at that for today. Comrades who come to visit can go and have a look, and let Comrade Yang Guowei introduce you. The minister and I have something else to do, so we'll leave first."

Everyone in the conference room stood up. Director Yang quickly stood up and walked the two leaders to the car. After a few words, the leaders' car drove out, followed by some personnel and vehicles from the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry.

The rest were the leaders of various factories who were invited to visit. They gathered around and asked questions at once. Director Yang was very proud now. One side asked another. Zhang Jiacheng saw something was wrong and said to Director Yang, "Director, why don't you go back to the conference room and sit down. If you have any questions, can you sit down and talk slowly?"

Director Yang was also surrounded by people, asking when mass production would be possible and whether they could be supplied first. Some even a machinery repair shop had the idea of ​​manufacturing the machines and sending them to their factory for production. Director Yang had no choice but to bring everyone back to the meeting room. He could not agree to some situations, so he said he had to wait for arrangements from his superiors. However, no matter who did it, the brand could not be changed.

Zhang Jiacheng was also being questioned from behind. Only Jiang Feng felt relieved now. He was not qualified to participate in this kind of meeting. If Zhang Jiacheng was not from the technical department, he would not have a seat. He sat in the office leisurely drinking tea, thinking in his heart, could these machines make people turn their attention to improving the technical content, and whether some things could be avoided.

After entering 58, Jiang Feng also learned some about the current steelmaking technology in the country. However, due to the lack of first-hand information, he could only read newspapers and check books. Now the most commonly used steelmaking method in the country is blast furnace, but there was a piece of news that caught Jiang Feng's attention.

Steelmaking experiments have already begun in China, but I haven't heard that any large-scale steelmaking furnaces have been built there. If it had been built, given the current situation, it would have been widely publicized in newspapers. It should not have been built yet, otherwise small blast furnaces would not have been used to make steel this year. Jiang Feng is a student majoring in mechanical repair, so it's okay for you to go and take a look at the equipment, but you really don't know how to build a converter.

Jiang Feng sat there, calling out in his mind a few times, "System, System Master, is there any way?"

There was no response, so he had to give it his all. Only the system could actively issue the task. Jiang Feng had no other choice but to think about some equipment information in his space. Should he take it out and how long would it take to take it out? There were still five months left until the end of the year. Would it be okay to take one device a month?

Zhang Jiacheng walked in from outside. Jiang Feng quickly stood up, looked at Zhang Jiacheng and said, "How is it, what did the leader say?"

Zhang Jiacheng's face flushed, and he smiled and said, "It's done. This is not the kind of equipment that is copied with a different shell. Now we can only wait. We don't know how the higher-ups will handle this matter."

"Did you mention building a factory? A steel rolling mill alone won't do. The assembly efficiency is too low. We need to build a special machinery factory. What does Director Yang mean?"

"What do you mean? It's meaningless. Director Yang is still surrounded by visitors, asking questions."

Jiang Feng nodded, which meant that nothing had been decided yet. This matter must have been arranged by the higher-ups, but the steel mill's opinion had to be sought as well. Let's wait and see.
