industrial overlord

Chapter 120
Zhang Zhifang insisted on going to the Hanhua factory immediately, which made Xie Chunyan very embarrassed.All the cars in the hall were gone, and she couldn't find a car to take Zhang Zhifang off. In the end, Zhang Zhifang squeezed into the American Jeep driven by Hanhua Factory.Chang Qingbo and Yu Wenzheng were a little more sad, they could only sit in the cabin of the truck, but they were very happy about it, because they wanted to study this odd-shaped workpiece carefully.

"Young man, drive faster." Zhang Zhifang sat in the passenger seat of the jeep and said to Wang Qinhu who was driving.At this time, the car they were sitting in was running at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, but Zhang Zhifang still felt that it was too slow.

"Manager Zhang, this speed is fast enough, and there will be danger soon." Zhu Tiejun reminded him kindly.

Zhang Zhifang said nonchalantly: "No, Yankee's car has no problem in performance. Back then, I drove this car and ran 100 yards."

"Manager Zhang can also drive?" Wang Qinhu asked curiously.

Zhang Zhifang laughed and said, "Young man, when I was a little older than you, I drove this car and ran back and forth on the [-]th parallel."

"Thirty-eighth line?" Everyone in the car became interested, "Why, has Manager Zhang ever been a soldier?"

Zhang Zhifang nodded: "That's right, I was a soldier. During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, I was the head of the regiment and led the troops all the way into Seoul."

Zhu Tiejun said: "In other words, Manager Zhang is my old chief. I was a new soldier during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea."

"Oh, Director Zhu is also a soldier?"

Zhu Tiejun pointed a few times with his fingers: "Xiao Wang, Xiao Lin, and I are all soldiers. By the way, there is only Lao Fan here who has never been a soldier."

"In front of you, I'm just a new recruit." Lin Zhenhua said depressingly.

The little jeep picked up the dust all the way and returned to the Hanhua factory in less than an hour.Zhu Tiejun brought Zhang Zhifang into his office, and arranged for someone to find Hu Yang immediately.As a result, Kong Haijiang searched for Populus euphratica but couldn’t find it, so he ran to the broadcasting room and shouted, “Master Populus euphratica in the foundry workshop, please go to Director Zhu’s office immediately, someone is looking for it!”

Before Hu Yang arrived, Chang Qingbo and Yu Wenzheng had already arrived, and they were sitting together in Zhu Tiejun's office, waiting to meet this magical wood model maker.Kong Haijiang arranged for someone to quickly pour water for them, and then notified the small cafeteria to prepare meals.He didn't know the background of Zhang Zhifang and his party, but from what Zhu Tiejun said, it seemed that the Qinghua Department also attached great importance to this group of people, so it was necessary to entertain them with a light meal.

Populus euphratica has just returned from sawing boards at the lumber factory, and his body is covered in sawdust.Hearing that Zhu Tiejun was looking for him, he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't care about changing clothes, so he strode to Zhu Tiejun's office.

As soon as he entered the door, Hu Yang was stunned and stood motionless at the door.Zhang Zhifang was chatting with Zhu Tiejun at first, when he saw Populus euphratica, he stood up abruptly, looked straight at Yang Yang with mixed feelings in his eyes.

"Old Hu, you...know each other?" Lin Zhenhua stepped forward and asked Hu Yang in a low voice.

Hu Yang didn't answer Lin Zhenhua's question, he bit his lip tightly, as if he was controlling his turbulent emotions.

"So it's really you!" Zhang Zhifang said in a low tone.

"You...how did you find this place?" Hu Yang asked with suppressed excitement.

"I've been looking for you, but I didn't expect you to hide here. When Yan Yuanhe from Changhong Machinery Factory told me, I didn't expect it to be you. Populus euphratica, Populus euphratica, how could you think of using such a name? of?"

Hu Yang looked up at the ceiling to avoid his tears from dripping down. He said slowly, "I thought I would never see the sea again in this life."

"How did you get here?" Zhang Zhifang asked.

"In 1967, in order to protect me, Director Mu arranged for me to work in a third-tier factory. After I worked there for a few months, the director of the factory was instructed by Director Mu and transferred me to a local factory through his relationship. We arrived at Hanhua Machinery Factory."

Zhang Zhifang nodded: "No wonder, Lao Mu has passed away, and he didn't disclose your whereabouts before he died, so no one knows where you went."

"Why don't you come back?" Zhang Zhifang asked forcefully.

"I...I don't know." Hu Yang replied timidly.

"You do not know?"

"Yes, I thought about going back, but every time I couldn't make up my mind. That place is Xiaoying's sad place, and it's also my sad place. I dare not go back and face everything there."

"Sadly? It turns out that you didn't go back to find us because of this." Zhang Zhifang murmured.He suddenly changed the subject and asked Hu Yang: "In 1974, Xisha naval battle, did you read the news in the newspaper?"

"Look." Hu Yang said.

"How do you feel?"

"We defeated the big ship with a small ship. This is the glory of the navy comrades. However, a huge country, facing a clown like Nanyue, can only use a small ship to beat a big ship. This is the honor of our military workers. shame." Hu Yang said bitterly.

"Crack!" Zhang Zhifang slapped the table violently: "You still know shame! You still know that you are a military worker! Now the whole army is in a hurry to change their equipment, and the navy officers and soldiers are anxious to get large warships to defend the coastal defense. Military workers The technicians and workers in the department are so busy every day that they don’t even have time to eat. They wish to use one as two people. And you! Can a word of sadness be an excuse for you to evade your responsibilities! The party and the state have spent So much money to train you is just to make you talk to the organization about your sadness!"

Hu Yang's psychological defense was defeated by Zhang Zhifang's sudden drink, and tears flowed down his cheeks. He asked in a trembling voice: "I, I don't want to escape, but I don't know that the organization can still accept me. ?"

Zhang Zhifang shouted angrily: "The organization has never abandoned you. You are unwilling to return to the team. Our policy is to come and go freely. Revolution is not a dinner party. We will not force you. If you do not want to return to the team, do so now." You can go!"

Hu Yang gritted his teeth hard, wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeve, walked up to Zhang Zhifang, stood at attention, his chest straight as a javelin.He raised his hand, gave a standard military salute to Zhang Zhifang, and then reported loudly:
"Comrade, Liu Xianghai, chief engineer of the Propeller System Engineering Institute of the Naval Academy, requests to return to the team!"

With this roar, everyone in the room was shocked, what, navy!chief engineer!Is this the ordinary wooden modeler Populus euphratica?
Among all the people, the one who was most shocked was Lin Zhenhua. He said loudly in his heart: This is Liu Xianghai!This is Liu Xianghai, the best of the best, a god-like existence.

Lin Zhenhua clearly remembered that in the department history of Huaqing University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, there was such a record:
Liu Xianghai, a 1956 graduate of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Huaqing University, was sent by the government to study ship power at Leningrad University in the Soviet Union. In 1960, he overturned the theory proposed by a famous propeller expert in the Soviet Union with a paper titled "Noise Reduction Dynamic Model of Large-Blade Propeller", which caused a sensation in the Soviet military industry and was hailed as a naval engineering genius.

After obtaining a doctorate and returning to China, Liu Xianghai was assigned to work in the Naval Ship Research Institute.Because of his outstanding contributions in the research of several types of naval propellers, he was exceptionally promoted to be the chief engineer of the propulsion system engineering institute at the age of 29.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long.Until Lin Zhenhua was a graduate student, Liu Xianghai's whereabouts were still a mystery.

Professor Yao Heliang, Lin Zhenhua's postgraduate tutor, had many contacts with Liu Xianghai in his early years. Occasionally, when he talked about Liu Xianghai with his students, he was always full of emotion and complained that God was jealous of talents.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xianghai, who was hard to find by everyone, turned into this wooden modeler named Populus euphratica incognito.Without Lin Zhenhua's time travel, perhaps he would have gradually aged as a wood model worker, and then disappeared from people's sight in a bland manner.

I'm so confused, why didn't I think about it, Lin Zhenhua kept complaining to himself in his heart.In fact, this kind of complaint is also unreasonable. Before the mystery is revealed, who would have thought that there would be such a dramatic result?
Hearing Liu Xianghai's request to return to the team, Zhang Zhifang also had tears in his eyes. He raised his hand, returned a military salute to Liu Xianghai, and said solemnly: "Comrade Liu Xianghai, on behalf of the Naval Equipment Department, I welcome you back to the team!"

After saying this, he stepped forward, held Liu Xianghai's hand tightly, and said affectionately: "Xiang Hai, I know, you have been wronged. On behalf of the organization, I welcome you back!"

All the people present applauded excitedly, especially Chang Qingbo and Yu Wenzheng, who hurried forward, saluted Liu Xianghai, and said respectfully: "Mr. Liu, we have been looking forward to your return for a long time. !"

These two people were transferred from other units to work in the research institute later. Before that, they had only admired Liu Xianghai for a long time and had never met them.They are all middle-level cadres of the propulsion institute at present, and they know that if Liu Xianghai returns to the propulsion institute, at least he will have to resume his post as the deputy director and chief engineer.This means that Liu Xianghai will be their immediate boss.

Liu Xianghai shook hands with Chang Qingbo and Yu Wenzheng respectively, and said, "I'm ashamed, I'm a laggard soldier, please help me a lot in the future."

At this moment, the door of the office was pushed open, and Qin Ying rushed in. She didn't look at the others, but went straight to Liu Xianghai, calling Liu Xianghai's alias: "Old Hu, what's going on, I heard……"

Liu Xianghai grabbed his wife, pointed to Zhang Zhifang, and said, "Xiaoying, look who is here."

Qin Ying turned her head and saw Zhang Zhifang at a glance, and her expression was completely stunned like Liu Xianghai's at the beginning.

Zhang Zhifang looked at Qin Ying with loving eyes, and called softly: "Xiaoying, it's me."

"Uncle Zhang!" Qin Ying shouted out of composure, then threw herself into Zhang Zhifang's arms, and burst into tears.At this moment, she is no longer the quiet middle-aged female worker that everyone is familiar with, but has completely become a little girl who has been away from home for many days and just met her relatives.

Zhang Zhifang patted Qin Ying's back lightly, and said emotionally, "Xiaoying, I'm sorry, I'm late. I didn't protect Professor Qin well, and I didn't protect Xiang Hai well either. I'm sorry for you guys."

After everyone sighed and complained about their separation, Zhu Tiejun stepped forward, and also gave a military salute to Zhang Zhifang, saying, "I'm sorry, Leader Zhang, for being negligent just now."

Zhang Zhifang quickly pressed Zhu Tiejun's hand, and said: "Where is it? We are wrong. I shouldn't hide my identity. It is really our task, which has a certain confidentiality. Please understand the director Zhu."

"Leader Zhang, what is the mission?" Liu Xianghai asked anxiously, and he has quickly entered his role now.

Chang Qingbo took out the drawing that Lin Zhenhua had seen before, and handed it to Liu Xianghai.Liu Xianghai glanced at it, shook his head and said, "This design is no longer good, I have some new ideas recently..."

Zhang Zhifang said with a chuckle, "Xiang Hai, don't worry about it. Just now, Xiao Chang and Xiao Yu have seen the model you made. Why, is it a one-to-five model?"

"Yes." Liu Xianghai replied, "Leader Zhang, this is just a conceptual design. The real effect needs to be tested by a dynamic model. I don't have such conditions here."

Zhang Zhifang said: "I knew that no matter where you go, Xiang Hai, you will never give up your business. After leaving your post for such a long time, you haven't lost any of your business, and it seems that you have made great progress."

Liu Xianghai pulled Lin Zhenhua over, pushed him in front of Zhang Zhi, and said, "Leader Zhang, it's thanks to Xiao Lin. I can do these calculations thanks to the finite element analysis that Xiao Lin taught me. Xiao Lin also used his relationship with American businessmen , I bought a large number of English materials for me. Although these materials are public publications, they are very inspiring for our propeller design. Moreover, I also learned about mechanical processing from Kobayashi. For the five-axis machining problem, we can now use ordinary machine tools to realize it after modification."

Lin Zhenhua smiled awkwardly and said, "Uh, Mr. Liu, don't be rude to me. If you know that you are Liu Xianghai, I wouldn't dare to play big swords in front of you if you were killed."

Isn't that right, the group of people in front of him are all people that Lin Zhenhua needs to look up to.Zhang Zhifang, who claimed to be a business manager before, was at least a general.Good guy, what kind of gods are the head of the regiment in the era of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and now the head of the equipment department.

Zhang Zhifang saw Lin Zhenhua's embarrassment. He stepped forward, patted Lin Zhenhua on the shoulder, and said, "Xiao Lin is not bad. I just chatted with you along the way, and I can feel that you are a very smart young man and very responsible. Heart. It’s just that this economic awareness is too strong, our navy is very poor, maybe we really can’t pay you for technical fees.”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Leader Zhang, now you don't need to pay patent fees. Our patents are all in Mr. Liu's mind. If you take him back, all problems will be solved."
