Back to the Red Age

Chapter 131 Qin Ming is too lazy to reach new heights
Although the drawings were in front of him, Technician Liao was still a little confused, but he didn't say anything. He already understood what kind of person Qin Ming was. After previous cooperation, the current Qin Ming was in Technician Liao's heart. In terms of height, it has surpassed engineers. Since Qin Ming proposed this idea, he must have a solution. Now is a good opportunity to learn by himself, and he doesn't want to miss it.

Speaking of Qin Ming's talent for invention and creation, he didn't know which university he would eventually be admitted to.

Director Yang saw that everyone was busy and he couldn't help for a while, so he said hello to Qin Ming and went to the office to report to Mr. Wu.

"What? Qin Ming is making inventions again?"

Mr. Wu was shocked when he received the news.

Qin Ming had just finished his exam and went back to the steel rolling mill to make inventions. This kid is really a practical person.

"Yes, Mr. Wu, I have reported this matter to the research institute, and I wanted to tell you that what Comrade Qin Ming invented this time is a peeling and threshing machine. According to Comrade Qin Ming, with this machine, The corn cobs harvested from the field are put directly in, and they come out as shelled corn kernels.”

Director Yang briefly described the machine, and then heard a snapping sound from Mr. Wu.

"Hey, Mr. Wu, are you still there?" Something must have happened.

Director Yang asked several times in succession before hearing the other party's voice, "Director Yang, please be sure to protect the safety of Comrade Qin Ming. I will send someone over here right away."

Food is the most important thing for the people, and although corn is a coarse grain, it is the most important staple food at this stage. If Qin Ming can really invent this kind of machine, it can save the farmer uncle a lot of time, and most importantly, it will be the most important staple food in the world. There are many big grain-growing countries. Now that they have invented this kind of thing, they can sell it for foreign exchange.

Now the Chou Country has gathered many allies to restrict them, and if they have this unique thing, they may be able to break those restrictions.

When Director Yang heard Mr. Wu's explanation, he immediately felt that Qin Ming's invention should be taken more seriously.

Putting down the phone, he immediately notified the security department and asked Gan Xiaolin to take people to guard the door of the workshop and not allow anyone to approach.

At the same time, he found Deputy Factory Director Li and asked him to prepare a sumptuous reception meal to supplement Qin Ming's nutrition.

"Director, Comrade Qin Ming is back to make inventions again? When did this happen? I don't know why?" Deputy Director Li looked surprised. After all, Qin Ming is the exception, except when wages are paid every month. Apart from appearing once, it has not appeared in the factory for a long time.

"This is an accident. Even I didn't know that Comrade Qin Ming would be here today." Director Yang said cheerfully, "Making inventions requires both brain use and heavy physical work. How can you do it without nutrition? You Hurry up and do it, no matter what method you use, you must ensure their nutrition."

"Then I can only use the reception meal for the leader first. After all, the matter is too hasty and we can't come up with anything good at the moment."

"That's no problem. Just take out your share. People from the Ministry of Industry and the Research Institute should also come." After all, Mr. Wu said he would send people over, and he has already taken action. There is no reason why people from the Research Institute can't come. Bar.

Hearing that people from the Ministry of Industry and the Research Institute were also coming, Deputy Director Li immediately laughed, "Oh, even they are alarmed. It seems that our Red Star Factory is going to become famous again this time."

Not long after, people from the Ministry of Industry and the Research Institute came to the steel rolling mill one after another. Director Yang had been waiting at the gate. When he saw them coming, he took them directly to the workshop.

The people from the research institute rushed to the drawings as soon as they arrived, but the people from the Ministry of Industry were watching Qin Ming and the others working.

The Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant has all the materials available, and there are so many people here. If something happens occasionally, people from the Ministry of Industry can be quickly transferred from other plants.

"I'm really grateful to Senior Brother Qin this time. If it weren't for him, how would I have had the opportunity to show up in front of so many important people." Master Li's apprentices were working hard, but they were silently grateful to Qin Ming in their hearts. Even Master Li was silently talking about his good apprentice.

When Qin Ming chose to continue to be his disciple, Master Li knew that Qin Ming was a man who repaid his kindness. He was very happy at that time and accepted a talented apprentice. He also thought that after a few years of training, Qin Ming would become his disciple. Passing the eighth level exam will give him a good face.

But he did not expect that Qin Ming did not take the eighth level exam, but now it is no longer as simple as having a good face. It can be said that he has directly affected his future.

Everyone was busy with excitement. After all, there were so many big people here. If something went wrong at this time, the impact would be huge. Fortunately, they were responsible for relatively simple parts. These are things they usually do. , as long as you are careful, there will be no mistakes. The most difficult and core part is the key, but Qin Ming is responsible for this part. Before the entire machine is assembled, they don’t know what kind of thing it will make. .

The lunch meal was delivered to the workshop by the security department. Originally, Director Yang wanted to invite people from the Ministry of Industry and the Research Institute to eat in the cafeteria, but everyone didn’t want to leave the workshop at the moment, so in the end Director Yang had to arrange Gan Xiaolin asked someone to deliver their meals.

With more people and strength, Qin Ming and the others worked hard all day, and finally made the parts of a peeling and threshing machine before getting off work. After assembling the things, Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

"This thing looks really weird."

"Yeah, I've never seen a machine like this."

While everyone was whispering, Secretary Lin walked in.

He was crazy and ordered to come over to check the production situation. He was very surprised to know that Qin Ming and the others had already made the finished product.

"Director Yang, hurry up and arrange the test! My car is outside, let's go to the Agricultural Institute now."

For experiments, the Agricultural Institute is the most suitable place. Qin Ming also knew how everyone was feeling, so he asked several fellow apprentices to carry the machine covered with cloth into the car.

At the Agricultural Academy, I heard that someone was coming to experiment with new agricultural machinery and equipment, so several key researchers and persons in charge stayed.

"Mr. Li, what new equipment did their machinery factory produce?"

"Yes, Mr. Li, the machinery factory has not produced new equipment for several years. Why is there suddenly a new invention now?"

Waiting to be ignored, a few people started chatting. In the center of the crowd, Mr. Li was about 60 years old. His gray hair looked very eye-catching in the crowd.

"You guessed wrong this time. The one who came to us for experiments is not a machinery factory, but a steel rolling mill."

As soon as Mr. Li said these words, the scene fell into silence.

"Mr. Li, are you kidding me? Steel rolling mill production equipment?" Isn't this a mess?

"I also hope that I heard it wrong, but it seems like this. By the way, is the experimental field ready? Secretary Lin from the Ministry of Industry is also here this time, as well as colleagues from the institute. No matter what we say, we can't I lost my place in front of them.”

"Don't worry, Mr. Li. They want corn cobs. It just so happens that the No. [-] seed has a good harvest. They are waiting to be collected outside the warehouse." Under the expectant eyes of everyone in the Agricultural Academy, several cars drove in, led by Secretary Lin. "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li. We have to borrow some expensive land for an experiment today. Can the car drive directly there?"

Hearing Secretary Lin ask to drive directly over, Mr. Li's expression suddenly became solemn. As we all know, experiments that require direct transportation by car are subject to a high level of confidentiality. "Of course, Secretary Lin will ask."

Soon, everyone arrived at the dam outside the warehouse of the Agricultural Institute.

"Secretary Lin, these are the corn cobs we have prepared. They are all fresh corn that has just been recovered from the field and has not been dried. Is this enough?" Mr. Li said, pointing to a pile of corn.

"Mr. Li, please wait a moment." Secretary Lin turned back to Qin Ming, "Comrade Qin Ming, can you see if these corn cobs can be used? If not, let's get some more."

Secretary Lin is Mr. Wu's friend and has a personal relationship with Qin Ming, but in this formal occasion, the two of them tacitly chose not to know each other.

Qin Ming looked at the corn cob and nodded, "No problem."

His machine is a wet and dry type, so it can be used for fresh corn cobs or dried corn.

As Qin Ming turned the lever, the machine made a buzzing sound. The noise was not loud and within the acceptable range.

"Director Yang, please throw the corn cobs directly into the top funnel."

Although there were many people present, Qin Ming only knew Yang Qingguo, Secretary Lin and Technician Liao. Secretary Lin was naturally not suitable to help with experiments. Technician Liao could do it, but Yang Qingguo, as the director of the Red Star Rolling Mill, must have done this. He was more willing, so Qin Ming directly called his name.

"Qin Ming, then I will lose it. You have to be prepared!" Director Yang was excited and worried at the same time. As long as this experiment succeeds, his achievements are certain, but if it fails, then this It was not a good thing for him to cause such a big scene and attract the attention of the three big bosses, especially the Ministry of Industry, who had the final say over them.

"Come on, just throw it away."

Yang Qingguo grabbed two corn cobs and threw them into the funnel. With a roar, the corn husks and corn cobs were thrown out by the machine. Everyone was stunned when they saw the golden corn coming out of the bottom funnel.

"Sure, have we succeeded?"

"It worked. This machine can really turn corn cobs directly into corn kernels. This is amazing!"

"Great, well done Comrade Qin Ming!" The last voice came from Mr. Wu.

Everyone turned around and saw Mr. Wu and the second uncle standing together.

"Comrade Qin Ming, how much corn can your machine process per hour?" The second uncle excitedly held Qin Ming's hand. He didn't care at all about the oil on Qin Ming's hands.

"Second uncle, I'm not sure about this. It mainly depends on the frequency of shaking the hand lever and the speed of feeding. Of course, if the shaking hand lever is replaced with an electric one, the efficiency will be greatly improved. But our Guo Jia If you don’t need it yet, just crank it by hand.”

"No, we need both hand-cranked and electric. With this, we can improve the efficiency of harvest and reduce mildew, rot, etc. caused by weather. As for electric, we can export it, Qin Ming Comrade, you have done a great service to hundreds of millions of peasant uncles, and I am here to express my gratitude to you on their behalf."

Qin Ming was also a little moved by the second uncle's words.

"The second uncle is serious. I am also a farmer. My family is still in the stage of slash-and-burn cultivation. In the past few days, our whole village has been harvesting in the fields, and then we have to take advantage of the recent good weather to dry the grain. This is not a small job. I also saw that my parents still have to deal with these things at their age, and I couldn't bear to let their already bent backs bend any further, so I thought of finding a way to help them to be upright. be lazy."

"What a lazy person. This lazy person is good. A lazy son will be more filial to his parents." Qin Ming's words aroused thunderous applause. Now is an era where reputation is valued. The saying of filial piety is greater than heaven has been passed down since ancient times. Qin Ming Ming started from the perspective of making his parents lazy, but it brought good news to everyone.

In fact, although there are few lazy people these days, it does not mean that there are none. On the contrary, almost every village has one or two. There are so many villages in the country, but only Qin Minglan has invented a new invention. If not, he would continue to test the machine. Regarding performance, the second uncle and Mr. Wu wished they could have a long talk with Qin Ming.

But even so, during the test, they still asked Qin Ming about the cost of the machine and the possibility of mass production.

"In fact, the process is not complicated. It only needs to use ordinary iron sheets and paint the surface with a layer of anti-corrosion oil. This machine can be mass-produced."

Qin Ming did not hide it. In fact, in later generations, any small factory can produce electric peeling and threshing machines, but he just made some small changes to adapt to the times.

Hongliang Village.

Wang Dachui and Li Xiu were also taken away by people from the police station.

The news quickly spread throughout the village.

"Fanglan, your Xiaoliu must have been clever enough not to marry that woman home. I think that woman is just a scumbag. How long have we been married? Wang Dachui has already been arrested twice."

"Yes, Fang Lan, you don't know that our village chief and the others are so worried about this that they can't even eat. It's obvious that your Xiaoliu has brought so much good reputation to our village, but when he met this Wang Dachui, he already He entered the police station for the second time, which made it difficult for our village to select outstanding people..."

After listening to everyone's words, Qin's mother hated Li Xiu in her heart.

"Then Li Xiu and Wang Dachui have been arrested. What will happen to the child she gave birth to?"

"What else could she do? She was taken to the police station. Who made her so unlucky? The distant relative who came to help turned out to be an enemy agent. As a result, her husband and her children were sent to the police station together."

The villagers did not come here specifically to gossip about Qin's mother. Their main purpose was to take a fancy to Qin Ming. Qin Ming was so capable. One person could do the job for three men. This was perfect in the eyes of rural people. .

Naturally, Qin's mother would not agree to her youngest son's marriage, but she was very interested in choosing a few girls for Qin Sihuo. She planned to discuss Qin Sihuo's marriage when everyone came back in the evening and let him see each other. After all, the family was poor before, and Qin's mother couldn't care about this troubled son. Now that the family's conditions are better, these things can be discussed. After all, Qin Sihuo will be 20 in a few months. At his age, Children from many families in the village can go to the district to play soy sauce.

Naturally, the son-in-law that the villagers wanted most was Qin Ming. But seeing that Qin's mother was unwilling, they knew that Qin Ming had high vision. They thought that Qin Sihuo was also an eighth-level chef and could earn more than 30 yuan a month, and his family also had a lot of money. There was no need for him to use his wages to fill the hole. This condition was already several blocks ahead of the others, and Qin Sihuo also had land in the village. If he married, he would not have to worry about food and drink, and would have money to spend. Everyone agreed, and the agreement was made clear. After Qin'er came over and waited for Qin's mother's letter, everyone left.

"Yaoyao has been away all day today. It's already dark. Why haven't you come back yet? Something happened, right?" Seeing that it was getting dark, Mother Qin couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly pretended. Carrying a basket of corn cobs on his back, he walked toward the entrance of the village.
