Chapter 262 Data Screening

When Duan Yun left the city bureau on a scorpion, there were already three boxes full of blueprints and materials in the sidecar.

Translating so many materials in more than a week is definitely a heavy task for Duan Yun.

But for Duan Yun, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to change his destiny, so although the translation work this time is heavy, Duan Yun still has to do it, and he must do it well.

After returning home, Duan Yun put all these materials into the box, made a cup of tea, and immediately started the translation work.

The task is too heavy, so we must race against time.

The three boxes of materials are classified into 28 file bags. If you don't hurry up, it will definitely be difficult to complete them all.

The first step is to classify these materials. Duan Yun first selects the drawings and materials of important equipment, such as stamping machines, automatic welding equipment, etc., and translates other less important things at the end.

While sorting, Duan Yun unexpectedly discovered that among the blueprints of this production line, there was actually a file bag containing the design drawings of the workshop toilets, which made Duan Yun feel a little dumbfounded.

As far as the toilets in the first workshop of the Red Star Factory are concerned, they are all squatting toilets built with bricks and cement. There is a sink in the middle and a water tank above. When the tap water is about to fill the water tank, it will automatically flush. used toilet.

There are usually more than 200 people in a workshop in one shift, and there are ten pits for men and women in toilets, and an average of more than 20 people use one pit.

The toilets in Germany are all made of ceramic toilets, and there is also a set of electronic ventilation control equipment. The standard is for six to eight people to sit on a toilet, and there are clear requirements for the brightness of the toilet lights.

It is estimated that such a high-end toilet cannot be found by the municipal government these days. This is obviously a design out of the current domestic situation.

Moreover, it is obviously impossible to spend the country's precious foreign exchange reserves to purchase such high-end toilets.

So Duan Yun threw this part of the materials into the cardboard box.

In addition to toilets, Duan Yun also saw some designs out of national conditions, such as lounges with air-conditioning equipment, mechanical handling equipment, etc. All drawings that were not core equipment of the production line were all thrown into a box by Duan Yun.

After sorting and screening, there were still 28 of the original [-] portfolios, which instantly reduced the workload by one-third!

This undoubtedly relieved Duan Yun's pressure a lot.

Sitting down in front of the desk, Duan Yun started the translation work.

……

When the factory got off work at 05:30, someone came to Duan Yun's home and informed Duan Yun that he would not have to go to work in the factory in the near future, and all wages and bonuses would be paid according to full attendance.

Obviously, Ruiyang has already called the factory director.

However, the people in the factory probably don't know that Duan Yun has become the translator of the city bureau. From the conversation with this person, the other party only notified him according to the factory director's arrangement, and they don't know why they didn't let him. Duan Yun went to work.

After talking for a few words, Duan Yun sent the visitor away and continued with his work.

After dinner in the evening, Duan Yun didn't have time to tutor Duan Fang's homework, but did not go to bed until one o'clock at night while translating.

And when it was less than seven o'clock the next morning, Duan Yun got up from the bed again and sat down in front of the desk again...

The mother and younger sister didn't know what Duan Yun was translating, and they didn't understand and were not interested. They just arranged for Duan Yun to go to bed early at night, and put hot meals and dishes on Duan Yun's desk.

On the next Thursday night, Duan Yun rode Cheng Qingyan to school as usual.

"Duan Yun, the factory manager notified me yesterday afternoon that I would give you a vacation, saying that the city bureau had arranged a task for you. What's going on?" Cheng Qingyan asked Duan Yun suspiciously after she walked out of the unit.

"Qin Gang didn't tell you?"

"No." Cheng Qingyan shook her head.

"Actually, it was the translation of materials by the Municipal Bureau last time." Duan Yun rubbed his sore eyes with his hands, and said, "I was notified to go to the Municipal Bureau yesterday afternoon. They gave me an oral English test and I passed the test." After that, I arranged for me to re-translate the unqualified documents of the previous factories, and next Friday, I will go abroad with Director Rui..."

"Ah, congratulations!" Cheng Qingyan showed surprise on her face when she heard the words, and then said: "You are really amazing! You even became a translator. I really didn't expect your English level to be so high... ..."

Hearing the news that Duan Yun was going abroad, Cheng Qingyan was really shocked. After all, there are too few people who can go abroad these days, and Duan Yun can get such an opportunity, which makes her somewhat envious.

"It's all about pulling out generals among the dwarfs, and I'm lucky." Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Are you leaving next Friday?" Cheng Qingyan asked.

"Yes." Duan Yun nodded and said, "Do you need me to bring you anything?"

"I want to buy some mechanical information books..."

"It's all in German, can you understand it?" Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Is there no one in Russian?" Cheng Qingyan is good at Russian, and her level is not bad, so there is no problem in translating Russian.

"There must be in East Germany, but we are going to West Germany this time, so we can only try our luck..." Duan Yun spread his hands and said.

"Then... if there is no one, forget it." Cheng Qingyan said with some disappointment.

"Let's talk about it when I go abroad, maybe West Germany really sells this kind of Russian language." Duan Yun said after a moment of pondering.

"Then I will trouble you." Cheng Qingyan said gratefully.

"They're all classmates, so you don't need to be polite."

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask you..."

"whats the matter?"

"Your English is so good, can you teach me in the future?" Cheng Qingyan bit her lower lip, and then said: "When I was in junior college, I only learned English for less than two months. Simple words..."

Cheng Qingyan now also urgently feels the necessity of learning English.

In the 60s, when the relationship between China and the Soviet Union was still very good, many domestic industrial enterprises were built with the assistance of the Soviet Union. At that time, the domestic technical materials were basically in Russian, and Russian was also listed as the first A foreign language has a relatively high penetration rate.

By the end of the 70s, with the normalization of Sino-US relations, Sino-Western relations finally ushered in the "honeymoon period". From the early 80s, Western equipment and technology were gradually introduced, so mastering English has become an important aspect for a technical worker. A foreign language must be mastered.

Nowadays, there is no special English tutoring class these days. Since Duan Yun's English is good, Cheng Qingyan has the idea of ​​asking him to help with tutoring...
