After the porcelain basin became fine, I was sent to the wild to do infrastructure construction

Mid-January.

Xia Ning spent half a month to finally get the printing plant up and running, and successfully printed the first batch of books in the base.

Currently, printing plants operate using 80% labor and 20% equipment and tools, so the output is relatively low.

A total of three hundred books were printed this time. This number was obviously not satisfactory to Xia Ning, who lived in a high-tech modern world. The production efficiency was too low.

There were more than thirty workers in the factory, and it took them four days to produce these three hundred books. After all, the labor cost was obviously not proportional to the final benefits.

"Don't worry, our technical department is currently studying steam engines. After we thoroughly study steam power, we can produce steam printing machines. I have read some historical books before, and it is recorded in them that in the early Western countries, steam engines were relied on. printed."

Seeing that his wife was worried about productivity, Song Shaoqin couldn't help but tell her about their department's recent research.

In fact, the use of the steam engine goes far beyond improving printing productivity. The value it creates for mankind is beyond imagination. It not only improves productivity, but also has great significance in transportation and machinery industry.

Therefore, their department's recent research focus is entirely on this steam engine. Fortunately, they have purchased a lot of mechanical parts and equipment from Hyundai before, and now they can support their research and development, and strive to reproduce a steam engine as soon as possible.

"Really? Have you figured out the principle structure of the steam engine?" Xia Ning looked surprised. In the past, their technical team only tinkered with items with relatively simple structures. Unexpectedly, they could now work on large objects.

Song Shaoqin chuckled, "That's almost it. Our work during this period was not in vain. The technical department spent all their energy on the steam engine. During this period, in order to figure out the principle of the steam engine, a few of them stayed in the laboratory at night. All of them have scruffy beards.”

It's also a good thing that they are singles and don't have a partner or wife yet, otherwise a girl would probably dislike them if they were just like them.

Nowadays, all the girls in the base are very noble. People from other villages may not agree if they want to marry with high betrothal gifts. Who wants the girls in their base to be able to count and read? The most important thing is They can all have a craft or job close to them.

A girl with such conditions will definitely be the first choice for a wife no matter where she goes. However, the women living in the base, whether they are unmarried girls of the right age or widowed women, are not willing to marry out.

Even if they live alone, they are happy with their current living conditions.

"Great! If you really succeed, then I will definitely add chicken legs to your technical department!" Xia Ning said happily. Although she is a liberal arts student, she also knows the importance of steam engines. With steam engines, then where can we go? Later, their development and construction in many aspects became much faster.

This is definitely a milestone for their base.

"Okay, then we'll wait." Song Shaoqin was full of confidence.

On January 16th, the entire base is decorated with festive red, and every household is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. You can see hanging red lanterns and auspicious knots everywhere you walk in the base, as well as blessing messages posted in major factories and workshops. Character.

For a time, the base was filled with a joyful atmosphere, and everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles. From time to time, everyone's laughter could be heard from the base.

This kind of scene can match the lively atmosphere on the day when Xia Ning and Song Shaoqin got married.

Of course, the reason why the base is so festive and lively is not because someone is getting married, but because New Year is coming in two days.

Naturally, there was no such thing as "Spring Festival" in ancient times. Here they called the New Year "Yuan Day", also called "Yuan Chun". It is the most important traditional festival among the people, which means that the past year has ended and they are about to Welcome to a new day.

During this period, the factories in the base were busy with production and work, so that everyone did not have much time to clean up and prepare New Year's goods. It was still approaching the New Year, so everyone concentrated on preparations.

Therefore, the entire base has been a busy and lively scene these two days. In previous years, everyone did not have much joy for the New Year. After all, the family conditions were poor and they could not bring out anything good to celebrate the New Year.

But this year is different. Everyone has hope and is full of fighting spirit for life. The money in their pockets is gradually increasing. At least in the second half of the year, every household will not worry about having enough food.

Everyone has a job to do, they have enough to eat every day, and they live a very fulfilling and peaceful life every day. Can there be a better life than this?
In this year's Spring Festival, they can not only prepare New Year's goods and prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, but also buy new clothes and new shoes for their families. What a wonderful New Year!

While everyone at the base was busy celebrating the New Year, the Song family received a letter from the capital!
