Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

Chapter 138 The first independently developed fighter

Gu Zhiqiu said, "Lao Lei, I have already discussed this issue. In order to prevent possible situations, our institute still needs a lot of reserve grain. As you know, this year's harvest is not ideal, and the superiors have clearly instructed us to reduce consumption before the new grain arrives. You know, our unit is so important that we have to reduce rations. If it is really the same as last year, our reserves will be used up. Where can we find extra food by then?"

Hearing this, Instructor Lei agreed: "You are right. We should prepare for a rainy day and do some work at this location. I support your suggestion, and it does not require a lot of manpower. It only requires mobilizing a few tractors."

Gu Zhiqiu nodded and responded: "Yes, this is what I plan to do. Now that it has been decided, you can deal with other things. This land will become our food production base."

Instructor Lei said with emotion: "I hope what Comrade He Yuzhu said is not too accurate, otherwise ordinary people will encounter great troubles!"

Gu Zhiqiu nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, but it's always better to be prepared!"

Then he added: "Yes, once we have an action plan, we must do it. Even if there is a deviation, it is better than doing nothing and causing food shortages."

Seeing that Gu Zhiqiu supported his proposal, He Yuzhu prepared more carefully, including technology, seeds and other aspects, so that he could re-invest in the development of the aircraft project. Soon it was April and May, and all parts of the country experienced abnormally high temperatures and droughts.

At this time, He Yuzhu completed the design of all the aircraft drawings, and the remaining less critical parts were also handed over to other manufacturers for manufacturing.

One day, Gu Zhiqiu walked into He Yuzhu's office and said, "Zhuzi, the test airport has been built. When are you going to take a look? In addition, the equipment and materials you need are already in place!"

"Let's go! I can't wait. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. I hope to complete this goal before National Day and present a gift to the country!"

Hearing this, Gu Zhiqiu felt a little confused and asked, "But National Day is less than six months away, only a little over five months left. Do you think that's enough?"

You know, this task would be almost impossible to accomplish in a different environment, but it was possible for He Yuzhu who copied the design.

So he said confidently, "Let's try! Let's go now!"

With that, He Yuzhu drove straight to the aircraft manufacturing center.

After arriving there, many staff members were busy transporting various parts to assemble them into the shape He Yuzhu required. In the past few months, He Yuzhu has drawn more than ten detailed component drawings and has been busy since the beginning of the year.

The only thing missing now is the engine. If the engine can be fixed, the aircraft assembly can be completed. The relevant spare parts have also been prepared, and the next step is for He Yuzhu to work on it.

After He Yuzhu arrived, under the guidance of Gu Zhiqiu, he began to learn about the base. He Yuzhu looked around and asked, "Old Gu, I can't be the only one in our country who is engaged in aircraft research and development, right?"

Gu Zhiqiu shook his head. "How is that possible? Aircraft are vital to our country, how can there be only one place to make them? Although this place is not large in scale, it is indeed very important."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "I understand. Let's go and get familiar with the environment first. We can start work tomorrow!"

Gu Zhiqiu also nodded in agreement: "Okay!"

So the two of them carefully visited the entire factory and experimental area. The next day, He Yuzhu devoted himself to his work.

In order to launch the new model as soon as possible and put it into mass production, He Yuzhu worked day and night and rarely went home. Fortunately, he had a good health, otherwise others would not be able to persist.

One day in July, He Yuzhu finally returned home. Seeing his appearance, Chen Xueru said distressedly: "Husband, you have been too hard recently, take a few days off." He Yuzhu smiled and replied: "It doesn't matter, there will be results soon, and then I will be able to relax. By the way, have you sent the food to my father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Because He Yuzhu often worked away from home, he arranged a car for Chen Xueru and asked her to deliver things to He Daqing and Yang Zhili's families every day.

The current weather can easily cause food to spoil, but He Yuzhu has a special space that can preserve food for a long time, so he will deliver some meat to the two families every one or two days.

At first, both families refused to accept it, but now they are used to it. Besides, who doesn't like meat in those days? In addition, it is already July, and there is almost no rainfall in the whole country. Not only meat, but also grain has become scarce. The price of ordinary grain in the market has been driven up very high.

However, even with such a high price, food is still in short supply. The price of wheat at the national grain station is only 18 cents per catty, while the price of fine grains on the market has now risen to five or six yuan per catty.

Even so, there is still no market for food, which shows how scarce food is now. He Yuzhu is well aware of these situations, but because he is busy with the aircraft project, he has almost no time to go to the market to buy items.

He planned to go to the market to buy a lot of things after the aircraft project was completed, especially gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, which were currently scarce and valuable. Chen Xueru nodded and told He Yuzhu: "I sent it over. I also asked about their situation. They don't seem to have any extra food."

He Yuzhu was a little surprised: "Does the commune's canteen have no surplus food now?"

Chen Xueru nodded and added, "Now they can basically only eat soup and some steamed bread made from coarse grains. It's much worse than last year! Look at Uncle Yang and the others. They are all thinner now!"

He Yuzhu knew that his father, He Daqing, had enough food, even though it wasn't very good. He said, "Well, I'll make time in the next two days to send 100 kilograms of flour and 100 kilograms of rice to each of their families."

Chen Xueru knew very well that He Yuzhu had stored a large amount of grain, which was stored before 1955. Therefore, she felt more and more that He Yuzhu was a reliable husband.

What good things did you do in your previous life to meet such an excellent man. If He Yuzhu knew what Chen Xueru was thinking, he might say: "It's not because you did anything good in your previous life, but because you are too beautiful and have a great figure in this life!" However, He Yuzhu didn't know that Chen Xueru asked: "Do we have any extra food? Do you want to send some to Master and Master's wife?" He Yuzhu nodded and replied: "Yes, I'm done with my work these few days, you can go with me!"

There wasn't much meat left, and sending food would be too conspicuous.

Now people are even fighting for food, so He Yuzhu was worried about Chen Xueru's safety and did not let her send food.

Chen Xueru also understood how crazy the situation outside was. Usually, she would only go out to pick up her children from school, and Nangong Yan would always accompany her. The rest of the time, she practiced martial arts at home. After this period of training, Chen Xueru was no longer a weak woman.

But He Yuzhu knew that the situation outside was extremely chaotic. If Gu Zhiqiu hadn't mobilized the army, the corn would not have been saved. Now the 130,000 mu of land has become Gu Zhiqiu's important wealth.

He also spent a lot of resources to invite the imperial troops from the capital to protect him, otherwise the hungry people would definitely attack this land.

At present, Gu Zhiqiu admires He Yuzhu's ability very much. However, there is still a problem. The country has not fully approved the drip irrigation technology proposed by He Yuzhu, because the material consumption required for this technology is huge, and the current country cannot afford this consumption because it is still in the early stages of development. If He Yuzhu had not provided new steel smelting technology, the current situation might have been even more difficult. The country has approved three million acres of land as experimental fields, which is a great support. In addition to the seeds provided by He Yuzhu, after a year of research and experimentation, he successfully increased the corn yield to 1,400 kilograms, which was a record-breaking achievement at that time.

He Yuzhu is not actually in charge of these matters. His role is mainly technical support. The work he is doing now is related to flight. Months of hard work have made him make progress in testing various materials, and finally determined more than a dozen suitable materials, finally allowing the engine to be completed.

Its engine is extremely powerful and once assembled successfully it will become the most powerful fighter.

Tomorrow is the day for the final assembly. He Yuzhu will not return early if it weren't for this day.

The next morning, He Yuzhu went to the assembly workshop and began to instruct everyone on how to install the parts. After five days of assembling each part, the first fighter jet designed and developed by He Yuzhu was finally completed.

This impressive fighter jet has excited everyone. The only thing missing is a successful test flight.

He wanted to drive the first time himself but was strongly opposed by everyone. In fact, everyone was against it, and even Gu Zhiqiu realized how outstanding He Yuzhu was.

In particular, He Yuzhu has been promoted to a second-level engineer but still enjoys the treatment of a first-level engineer in our company.

He Yuzhu is now well-known among the top brass. If the fighter jet performs as he describes, his name will not only be a household name in China, but may even go down in history.

He Yushui felt very sorry that he could not experience the power of this fighter jet in person. If there was such an opportunity, He Yuzhu's wish would be fulfilled, but even the senior military officials did not agree.

That's right, the commander-in-chief of the ** came in person. Since the aircraft had been manufactured, how could it not attract their attention? Many senior officials surrounded He Yuzhu and stood on the command platform, observing the first independently developed fighter together.

All materials and components are produced in-house.

At this time, the pilot was excitedly debugging the various functions of the new fighter. He Yuzhu was watching the whole process through the monitoring screen, and he was also very excited. Not long after, the pilot reported to the tower:

"Tower, tower, please receive the report, the fuel reserve is normal, and the control cabin is in good condition!"

"Please report on the quality of the communications."

"The call was crystal clear!"

After a series of inspections,

"Request takeoff."

"You can take off."

The engine started, a burst of blue light erupted from the tail of the aircraft, and the fighter jet quickly accelerated until it left the ground and moved forward at full speed along the runway.

"We have reached take-off speed!"

"Get ready for liftoff!"

With a loud bang, the plane slightly raised its front part, drew a graceful arc and rushed into the blue sky.

When everyone saw the plane leave the ground, they all cheered. However, He Yuzhu did not join in the cheering. He focused on observing the images transmitted by the camera - the instruments in the cockpit and the external landscape. He said:

"Start operating the flight controls and feel what it's like to drive!"

"understand!"

The pilot gripped the joystick tightly and performed a number of tactical maneuvers. He said excitedly:
