Chapter 30
Lin Zhenhua spoke to Hu Yang for two hours. After the lecture, the two of them looked at each other in disbelief.

Hu Yang felt incredible because he had been limited to hearing about finite element analysis, and only today did he really know the specific algorithm.This brand-new analysis theory made him feel suddenly enlightened, as if he had entered a whole new world.

What Lin Zhenhua felt was unbelievable was that he found that Hu Yang's mathematics skills were amazingly good, making it impossible to believe that Hu Yang's education was just a high school graduate.In Hu Yang's view, many very complex calculation ideas are as natural as the four arithmetic operations.Throughout Lin Zhenhua's narration, Hu Yang hardly hesitated, as if Lin Zhenhua was not teaching him a new method, but he was listening to Lin Zhenhua's graduation defense.Lin Zhenhua suspected again that Hu Yang might also be a time traveler.

"Master Hu, have you learned everything I said?" Lin Zhenhua asked cautiously.

Hu Yang shook his head: "No, it's the first time I heard you say it today, and I really benefited a lot."

"Why do I feel that you have no trace of learning at all?"

"Really?" Hu Yang asked back, he thought for a while, and replied with a smile: "Maybe it's because I have thought of these methods in the past, but I haven't formed a systematic way of thinking. Hearing you say this today, I'm sporadic." The ideas are all connected together. This finite element analysis method is really useful, and I think it can play a very important role in many fields."

"That's right." Lin Zhenhua said, for future mechanical students, finite element analysis is almost like a worker's vernier caliper, an indispensable tool.However, later generations do finite element analysis with the aid of computers, and I have never heard of manual finite element analysis.

"Master Hu, the analysis we are going to do is roughly like this. Think about it, can we calculate the calculations by hand?" Lin Zhenhua said.

Hu Yang made some calculations and replied: "No problem, I'm sure I can figure it out. How about it, Mr. Lin, this problem is my homework. I will be responsible for calculating it and give it to you. You can do it too." By the way, check whether I have really mastered the method of finite element analysis."

"Okay." Lin Zhenhua nodded and agreed. He didn't know how Hu Yang planned to do calculus. Anyway, he didn't plan to do it. As a young man in the 21st century, he had already lost the ability to do calculations by hand.

Hu Yang took the task from Lin Zhenhua, went to the warehouse first, asked for two pieces of blank paper, and asked the custodian Zheng Mingxia to record it in the account of the submerged arc welding joint research team.Zheng Mingxia thinks that Populus euphratica is acting for private interests, and these papers may be draft papers prepared for her children.Only Lin Zhenhua knew that the two pieces of paper were intended to be used by Populus euphratica for finite element analysis. If he really wanted to calculate several curves, maybe the two pieces of paper would not be enough.

Lin Zhenhua didn't bother to worry about Populus euphratica. He rode on his bicycle, carrying a bag of oranges and two catties of sugar, and came to Lujia Lane in Fenghua County to visit Lan Wufeng's home.

"Auntie, is Fengzi at home?" Lin Zhenhua stepped into No. 16 courtyard and asked Aunt Lan who was washing clothes in the yard.Lin Zhenhua had been here several times before, and he was already very familiar with Aunt Lan.

"Hey, it's Xiaohua." Aunt Lan shook off the soap bubbles on her hands, stood up with difficulty, and greeted Lin Zhenhua.Lin Zhenhua has already heard from Lan Wufeng that Aunt Lan has been working as a temporary worker in a factory cafeteria for many years, soaking in the water every day, suffering from severe arthritis, and now she is almost incapable of working.It is for this reason that Lan Wufeng came back from the educated youth spot in Yunnan.

Lin Zhenhua helped Aunt Lan, followed her into the house, and handed her the things in his hand: "Auntie, try some oranges and sugar from our factory."

"Oh, Xiaohua, you brought something again. How can we pay it back?" Aunt Lan said gratefully. It has become a custom for Lin Zhenhua to bring something with him every time he comes back.The oranges brought this time are nothing, but two catties of sugar is a very thick gift. You must know that white sugar is a commodity that is supplied by ticket, and one person can only supply four taels a month.In those days, it was a luxury for children to drink a glass of sugar water.

Lin Zhenhua put down his things, then stopped Aunt Lan who was trying to pour water for him, picked up the thermos bottle and poured himself a glass of water, and asked with a smile, "Auntie, what has Fengzi been doing these days?"

Aunt Lan said: "After you made Fengzi a briquette mold last time, he now rides a bicycle around outside every day to see who makes briquette, and he helps them make it. When he is good, he can earn more than one yuan a day." Where's the money?"

"This Fengzi is really willing to put in the effort." Lin Zhenhua laughed.

Fenghua County is one of the few coal-producing counties in the south, and there are many coal-burning households in the county.In the past, coal was made into briquettes for burning. In recent years, some families have started to burn briquettes, because briquettes are more powerful and it is easier to change coal.

There is no factory specializing in the production of briquettes in the county, and the briquettes used by each household are all made of their own molds.The mold of briquette is a sleeve with a long handle, and there are seven cylinders in the sleeve, which are used to generate seven pores of briquette.When making honeycomb coal, first mix the coal powder and clay in a certain proportion, knead them evenly, and then press them into the mold. After pressing tightly, push the sleeve rod on the mold to push out the formed honeycomb coal and lay it on the ground to dry.

This kind of mold for making briquettes cannot be bought in the market. In fact, even if it is available in the market, no family will be willing to spend money to buy it.The workers of Hanhua Machinery Factory have a unique advantage in this aspect. They can find some waste materials in the factory to make molds.Residents in the county do not have such conditions, and sometimes they need to borrow molds from factory workers to use them.

Lan Wufeng decided not to be a thief, but he couldn't find any good job opportunities for a while.Lin Zhenhua gave him an idea. First, he helped him make a set of briquette molds, and then asked him to bring the molds to help people make briquettes in the county.Some residents in the county do not have the labor force to do this kind of work at home, and they also lack tools, so they are willing to spend some money to hire someone to help.Lan Wufeng started from helping people and coal until he finished the honeycomb coal. A processing fee of only [-]% was charged for a honeycomb coal, which is still an acceptable price for many families.Lan Wufeng worked so hard that he could make hundreds of briquettes in a day, and sometimes he could earn more than one yuan.

"Xiao Lin, I really want to thank you. I also know what Fengzi did before. They are all shameful. Ever since I met you, Fengzi told me that he has to support himself and can no longer do stealthy things. "Aunt Lan said.

"Fengzi is very filial. I always feel that a person with filial piety is definitely not a bad person. As long as he is given a chance, he will definitely make everyone proud of him." Lin Zhenhua said.

"I hope that one day it will be fine." Aunt Lan said.

"Brother Lin, Brother Lin." Just as he was talking about Lan Wufeng, his voice came from the yard. Lin Zhenhua went out to take a look, and saw Lan Wufeng walking in pushing a bicycle, his whole body looked like he was from coal. It's like crawling out of the pile, only one row of teeth is still white.

"Oh, Fengzi, why are you covered in ashes again?" Aunt Lan said distressedly.

Lan Wufeng chuckled: "It's okay, I'll just take a shower."

As he said that, he didn't think it was cold, so he took off in the yard until only a pair of shorts remained, and poured cold water from the washbasin and tap on his head.It's already December now, and although the water won't turn into ice, it's still terribly cold.Lan Wufeng poured cold water on his body, and he could faintly see a wisp of steam rise.

"Fengzi washes like this every day, I'm used to it." Seeing Lin Zhenhua's stunned look, Aunt Lan explained with a smile.

Lan Wufeng washed several basins of water and washed his body. Aunt Lan brought him a big towel. While wiping his body, he asked Lin Zhenhua, "Brother Lin, why are you free today?"

"Xiaohua brought us oranges and sugar. There are at least two catties of sugar." Aunt Lan said while tidying up Lan Wufeng's dirty clothes.

"Brother Lin, how dare you let me accept it. Or, you can keep the oranges, and take the sugar back?" Lan Wufeng said.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Fengzi, you can keep it. It is not a valuable thing. These white sugars were given to me when I went to Ruiping Machinery Factory for training. They gave me more than ten catties. Our factory distributed them again. A few catties, I just wanted to bring some over for you."

"Then thank you Brother Lin." Lan Wufeng said, "Anyway, I owe you so much. Alas, I just don't know when I will be able to pay it back."

"Hehe, don't worry, there will be opportunities." Lin Zhenhua said, "If you persist for a while, the country's policies will be relaxed soon, and then you will have a chance to show your talents."

"I believe Brother Lin's words." Lan Wufeng said.

"Fengzi, you have to remember your brother Lin's kindness. If you really get rich one day, you must not forget Brother Lin, you know? If you dare to forget Brother Lin, I will be the first to let you go." Aunt Lan exhorted.

Lan Wufeng smiled at Lin Zhenhua: "Brother Lin, do you think I'm the kind of ungrateful person?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "What kindness and righteousness? We are all friends. It is a matter of course to take care of each other. If it is regarded as a debt, it will be meaningless. If you become prosperous one day, you can still recognize me as a friend, I will naturally be very happy .If you have your own world and have nothing to do with me, I will still be happy."

Lan Wufeng said: "I know Brother Lin doesn't like to hear this kind of thank you, so I won't say anything. It's useless to say more about what will happen in the future. I just want to say, Brother Lin, you should believe in yourself , you can’t misread someone.”
