Chapter 5 Dongfeng Porcelain Factory
Lin Zhenhua was confused, but since he was so enthusiastic about keeping him, it was inconvenient for him not to lose face.When he first arrived in this world, he also wanted to see more scenes, so after a few excuses, he agreed to You Jianmin's kind invitation.

You Jianmin sent a director surnamed Zhang from the factory office to drive a BJ jeep to accompany Lin Zhenhua around Tanzhou City.At that time, tourist attractions were not developed much, and some precious historical sites had been occupied by inexplicable units as office space, so Lin Zhenhua couldn't see anything, just walked around the street and looked at the street view That's all.

When passing Tanzhou No. [-] Department Store, Director Zhang said to the driver: "Stop here, I'll take Expert Xiaolin to do some shopping."

Lin Zhenhua quickly waved his hand: "Director Zhang, I don't need to buy anything."

"Director You told me, you can come with me." Director Zhang dragged Lin Zhenhua into the department store.

"Waiter, this kind of cloth is indeed cold, how much is it per foot?"

"One dollar and sixty-five cents."

"Come ten feet." Director Zhang said, and he took two pictures of Great Unity and some cloth tickets.

"Director Zhang, are you buying cloth for your daughter?" Lin Zhenhua asked depressedly.

"No, didn't you just say in the car that you have a younger sister? Why don't you bring some presents for her when you go home? This kind of cool cloth is the favorite of the eldest girl." Director Zhang said.

"This..." Lin Zhenhua fainted, "Director Zhang, let me pay for it."

"No, Director You said that the money will be paid by the factory's entertainment expenses, so you don't have to worry about it." Director Zhang said.

After buying cloth, he went to the tobacco and wine counter. Director Zhang bought several Hongtashan cigarettes and several bottles of Wuliangye wine in one go. There are a lot of supply tickets in hand.

"Director Zhang, you won't say that these cigarettes are also for me, right?" Lin Zhenhua asked timidly.

"Of course it's for you."

"But I... I have quit smoking." Lin Zhenhua said, as a graduate student, he really does not know how to smoke, but Lin Zhenhua, a veteran in his previous life, could smoke, so now he can only say that he has quit smoking.

"In today's society, tobacco and alcohol are not separated. You just returned to the factory, so why don't you give some cigarettes and alcohol to your leaders and colleagues?"

"Director Zhang, I really don't dare to accept so much money," Lin Zhenhua said.

Director Zhang waved his hand: "Director You said that the factory thanked you for these things, and they are included in the hospitality fee."

"How about, take this wine, Director, take it back and drink it yourself..."

"Little Lin, do you want me to make a mistake?"

"No, no, the factory gave it to me, and I gave it to Director Zhang. How could it be considered a mistake?"

"Xiao Lin, I accept your wish, but you still have to take these things away. You have just returned from the army, and you have taken care of all aspects of your relationship. These things are all useful." Director Zhang said earnestly .

After shopping, it was already noon. Director Zhang took Lin Zhenhua back to the jeep and told the driver, "Go to Dongfeng Porcelain Factory."

"Director Zhang, aren't we going back to Red Star Factory?"

"No, noon today is Fatty Wang's treat from Dongfeng Porcelain Factory. Director You and Director He are already waiting there." Director Zhang said.

The jeep drove into Dongfeng Porcelain Factory and came to the small cafeteria familiarly.Lin Zhenhua saw that You Jianmin and He Haifeng had already been waiting there, and there were several other people standing with them, presumably the leaders of Dongfeng Porcelain Factory.

"Xiao Lin, come, let me introduce you. This is Director Wang of Dongfeng Porcelain Factory." You Jianmin warmly took Lin Zhenhua's hand and brought him in front of a big fat man.After introducing Lin Zhenhua, You Jianmin said to the fat man again: "Fatty Wang, this is the expert I told you on the phone, Xiao Lin, Lin Zhenhua, he is also a friend of Director He."

"He..." Fatty Wang looked at Lin Zhenhua's childish face and was a little suspicious, "So young?"

"Xiao Lin seems to be only 18 years old, young and promising, young and promising." You Jianmin said.

"It was you who solved Lao You's technical problems?" Fatty Wang asked Lin Zhenhua.When Hongxing Ceramics Factory encountered a problem, it also asked Dongfeng Porcelain Factory for help, so Fatty Wang knew something about it.Hearing that Lin Zhenhua solved the problem with just one sentence, Fatty Wang was quite shocked.However, seeing Lin Zhenhua's youthful appearance now, Fatty Wang began to have some doubts again.

Lin Zhenhua smiled lightly, and said, "Director Wang, I'm not an expert, I just said a few words, the main problem was solved by Director You and Section Chief Wang and the others."

"Oh, a few words of nonsense." Fatty Wang nodded, "It is not easy to solve the problem with a few words of nonsense. Lao You's export mission this year is almost in vain. Your few words, but It’s like saving Lao You’s life.”

"Fatty Wang, are you still going to invite us to dinner?" You Jianmin said dissatisfiedly, "If you don't want to part with the wine, I'll take Xiaolin and Director He back to the Red Star Porcelain Factory."

"Where, where." Fatty Wang said, "The food is ready, please take your seats."

Lin Zhenhua didn't know why You Jianmin invited him to dinner at Dongfeng Porcelain Factory, but he didn't bother to ask, since You Jianmin would pay back the favor anyway.Everyone entered the small cafeteria, and as usual, there was another table of good food and wine, and everyone drank together.At the wine table, You Jianmin and He Haifeng kept persuading Lin Zhenhua to drink, but Fatty Wang just looked plain, as if he didn't value Lin Zhenhua very much.

"Fatty Wang, what do you mean?" After drinking for three rounds, You Jianmin knocked on Fatty Wang's wine glass with the tip of his chopsticks, and said dissatisfiedly, "You asked me to invite Xiao Lin over, why don't you say a word now?"

Fatty Wang smiled embarrassingly, and said: "Well... I did want to trouble Expert Lin with some things at first, but later, I thought it's better to forget it, and Expert Lin is quite tired."

He Haifeng heard Fatty Wang's insincere words, and knew that he originally wanted to ask Lin Zhenhua some technical questions, but when he saw that Lin Zhenhua was too young, he felt contemptuous again.He Haifeng had no idea what Lin Zhenhua's abilities were, but since the food and wine had already been eaten, it would be inappropriate not to let Fatty Wang speak out.

"Director Wang, if you have any problems, just tell us and let everyone listen. Xiao Lin is relatively young and has no work experience in ceramics, so he may not be able to solve any problems, but Lao You is an old ceramic anyway. I have learned a little bit, maybe the three cobblers can give you some ideas." He Haifeng said very artistically.

Fatty Wang also felt that it was inappropriate for him not to speak up. Although he looked down on Lin Zhenhua, it was not easy to show this contempt on his face.He put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "I guess Expert Lin wouldn't be interested in something like ours. But, this technical problem has troubled us for a long time."

"Is it about your insulated porcelain bottle?" You Jianmin asked, everyone is in the same circle, everyone knows each other's affairs, "You tell Xiao Lin, maybe he can give you some advice. "

"It's like this..." Fatty Wang turned his head and said to Lin Zhenhua, "Our factory has a product, which is an insulating porcelain bottle used in a substation. Electricity leakage will occur under high voltage conditions. Because of this, our products have to be sold as defective products, and the price is reduced. We have also investigated many reasons, but we have not been able to solve this problem.”

"Electricity leakage from the porcelain vase?" Lin Zhenhua mused. This question was somewhat difficult. He recalled the documents he had read and wondered where the problem might lie.

"Xiao Lin, let's eat first." He Haifeng tried to smooth things over. In fact, he also knew about the Dongfeng factory. Several experts from the Provincial Institute of Technology also went to see it, but they couldn't solve it.He didn't think that Lin Zhenhua could solve this problem, so he thought that after everyone had finished eating, he would find an excuse to drag Lin Zhenhua away and it would be over.

"Director Wang, can you tell me about our production process? What is the structure of our kiln?" Lin Zhenhua said.

Sitting next to Fatty Wang was the technical section chief of Dongfeng Factory. Fatty Wang gave him a wink, and the technical section chief walked up to Lin Zhenhua, took out a pen and paper, and drew a schematic diagram of the kiln for Lin Zhenhua.

"Is this place open?" Lin Zhenhua pointed to a place on the map.

"Yes, it's open."

"I reckon it's better for you to seal this place up." Lin Zhenhua said, "Make the whole kiln completely sealed, and then, before firing, fill some nitrogen into the kiln."

"Why?" The technical section chief was taken aback, "Our stove has always been open."

Lin Zhenhua said: "I'm not sure about this, but judging from the process you just mentioned, these porcelain bottles should not conduct electricity. The only possibility is that oxygen ions were mixed in during the sintering process. Oxygen ions will Conductive, you should know this, right? I asked you to seal the kiln and then fill it with nitrogen to drive away the oxygen, just to avoid the influence of oxygen ions.”

"Section Chief Chen, does what Expert Lin said make sense?" Fatty Wang asked the chief of the technical section. What Lin Zhenhua said was a bit mysterious, and Fatty Wang couldn't understand it. Can understand.

The head of the technical section opened his mouth wide enough to fit a steamed bun, and after a while he said the same thing as Section Chief Wang of the Red Star Factory: "I'm an old fool, why didn't I think of this!"

He Haifeng smiled slightly at the side. No matter whether Lin Zhenhua solved the problem or not, at least what he said just now was professional enough. Based on these few words, Fatty Wang's meal today was not in vain.He Haifeng had some interest in Lin Zhenhua in his heart. This is just a veteran with a junior high school diploma, how could he know so many things?
Fatty Wang immediately changed his perception of Lin Zhenhua when he heard the technical section chief's comments. He toasted several glasses of wine to Lin Zhenhua one after another, and then warmly invited Lin Zhenhua to the workshop to guide the work in the afternoon.

After arriving at the workshop, everyone began to believe that Lin Zhenhua must have never worked in the ceramic industry before, because he was not familiar with the kiln and other equipment in the workshop.But when the kiln he transformed finally produced a furnace of porcelain bottles with good insulation performance, everyone was amazed. Fatty Wang changed his previous indifferent attitude and patted Lin Zhenhua on the shoulder with a pair of thick and juicy bear paws. Dozens of times, Lin Zhenhua thought to himself, if it was replaced by the frail self in the past, this would definitely have been photographed as a Venus with a broken arm.

"Xiao Lin, you can't believe it, you are actually a veteran who almost couldn't even get a junior high school diploma." He Haifeng said to Lin Zhenhua, "A person of your level is a member of the Xiangping Provincial Department of Light Industry. I'm afraid I can't find a few of them."

"Where is the director, I'm just a blind cat and a dead mouse."

"Rats are indeed dead rats, but we didn't catch so many cats, and you caught them as soon as you came. If you are a blind cat, then wouldn't we engineers be dead cats?" He Haifeng said with a smile.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Maybe this is luck."

"Where did you learn all this knowledge?" He Haifeng asked.

Lin Zhenhua was already mentally prepared for this question. He knew that the level of knowledge he would display in the future would definitely make people feel suspicious. For this reason, he had already compiled a set of excuses.

"Well, I learned it from an old professor who was sent down." Lin Zhenhua said, "Beside the garrison of our army, there lived a professor who was said to be from Huaqing University. When I was serving, I often used I take care of him in my spare time, so he taught me some cultural knowledge."

"What's his name?" He Haifeng asked.

"His name is Xia Hanmin. Of course, this name may be fake." Lin Zhenhua said, "Maybe he won't use his original name."

"What about him now?"

"He has passed away." Lin Zhenhua pretended to be sad, but he was secretly proud of himself.An old professor who used a pseudonym, and has been laid to rest, no one can find any flaws.In the era without the Internet, it is impossible for you to engage in human flesh searches.

"It's a pity." He Haifeng sighed as expected, "These are all precious talents. You see, he only taught you for two years, and he taught you in your spare time. You are so outstanding, you can imagine You can see how wise he is himself."
