Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 1 Siheyuan, a dream-making space
  On the morning of September 58, 9, Nanluogu Lane in Sijiu City.

There are many alleys and courtyards in Sijiucheng.

The existence of the courtyard house, which was unattainable in later generations, in this era was just a courtyard where ordinary people lived.

A tall and handsome young man stood at the door of the courtyard and was comparing the house numbers on it:
  "Well, the house numbers match. This is the right place."

His name is Jiang Chen, and this is his first visit to Sijiu City after coming to this world.

After confirming that it was correct, he stepped into the gate of the courtyard.

He was quite looking forward to this courtyard full of animals.

As if to verify his correctness, the moment he entered the door, a gentle female voice sounded in his mind:
  【Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully arriving at the designated courtyard house and the dream space system is activated. 】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for activating the dream space and obtaining the novice reward task point of 2 points and physical fitness +]

When Jiang Chen heard the prompt sound, the corners of Jiang Chen's mouth raised slightly.

Half a month ago, he traveled from 2023 to the world where he fell in love with the courtyard in 1958, with a technician of the same name.

I graduated from a technical secondary school and was a level 15 technician at Sichuan Steel Rolling Plant.

His father, Jiang Hai, accompanied the leader to Sichuan to fight the war in 37, and has not been heard from since.

Mother Zhang Cui is staying in her hometown in Shuchuan for the time being, planning to settle down in the future before considering taking over to Sijiu City.

Jiang Chen left some money before leaving, and since she is less than forty years old, she can take care of herself.

After traveling through time, I obtained the dream space system, but it was always waiting to be activated.

After hearing the system prompt, Jiang Chen opened the dream space in his mind:

Dreaming Space: You can obtain task points by completing system tasks. By consuming the task points, you can use the dreaming space to perform various operations such as learning experiments in dreams, and enjoy the corresponding time bonus.

[Space level: Level 1 (100/200)]

[Time multiplier: 4 times]

[Upgrade conditions: Obtain two hundred mission points]

[Current task: Join the No. 3 Steel Rolling Plant in Sijiucheng]

[Mission reward: 100 mission points, physical fitness +2]

[Note: This space can only be used in designated courtyards and cannot be used elsewhere]

The current space is level 1, and the time multiplier is 4 times.

The real time is 1 hour, but in space it is 4 hours.

To put it simply, what he gets is a system space that can be used while sleeping, does not take up day time and is 4 times more efficient.

This multiplier will increase as the space level increases.

If it were just these, this space could only be regarded as a time accelerator.

What’s more valuable is that the space can provide all the knowledge and information as well as the tools and supplies required for simulation experiments according to your needs.

The dream space is first of all a treasure house of knowledge, and this alone is a priceless treasure.

And it can also provide various equipment and raw materials. These things are no different from the real ones, but they can't take out the space.

With theoretical knowledge and practical materials, as long as he has enough time, Jiang Chen can even rub mushroom bombs in space and conduct detonation experiments.

The space has been waiting to be activated before, and you need to go to a designated place to activate and use it.

The courtyard in front of us is the designated place, and it is also the courtyard full of animals in the TV series.

After the system is activated, the tasks are also updated.

The first task, joining the third steel rolling mill, was basically a benefit and was given for free.

In his backpack, there was a transfer agreement letter and a letter of introduction from Shuchuan Steel Rolling Mill, and his target was the No. 3 Steel Rolling Mill.

Moreover, it was the No. 3 Steel Factory who begged him to come over. On the day the system appeared, Jiang Chen received a letter from his father’s old leader.

The letter contained a house deed for a courtyard house in Sijiu City, and a few words stating that this was a house his father had bought in the capital and was entrusted to be transferred to him.

The house deed was obviously created to solve the limitations of the system. I don’t know if it is all an arrangement of the system or a coincidence.

At this time, flower growers have set a steel production target of 1070 in August, and blast furnaces are being set up across the country to smelt steel at full capacity.

The steel produced cannot really be piled in the yard of a great man, but needs to be processed and turned into useful steel.

As a result, steel rolling mills across the country have also expanded their scale and production capacity.

The Third Steel Rolling Plant is one of the first batch of demonstration and benchmark enterprises named by the Ministry of Industry, so naturally it dare not slack off in the slightest.

Expand the factory building, build a workshop, and purchase machine tools.

A large number of workers were recruited, and countless people poured into the factory from surrounding cities and rural areas. The number of workers tripled in a short period of time.

However, general workers are easy to find, but technical personnel are hard to find.

The third rolling mill itself is already short of technical personnel, and the situation is even worse after the expansion of production.

In order to ensure production, the factory director and government representatives borrowed, begged and grabbed equipment, and jointly issued a request for technical support to brother companies across the country.

But brother companies also have no surplus food, and they also lack technical personnel.

No one wants to support mature personnel to others and have their own production affected.

This became an opportunity for Jiang Chen to go to Sijiu City.

When the request for personnel support from the Ministry of Industry was conveyed to the Shuchuan Steel Rolling Plant, Jiang Chen volunteered and applied to go to Sijiu City to support the Third Steel Plant.

Even though the factory was unwilling to let him go, due to his strong request and the mediation of the Ministry of Industry, they finally chose to let him go.

Before leaving, he raised his technician level by one level, from a level 15 assistant technician to a level 14 assistant technician.

Technical personnel are now divided into 18 levels. The smaller the number, the higher the level and the higher the salary.

其中16级到18级为实习生，14/15级为助理技术员，10-13级为技术员，7-9级为工程师，4-6级为副教授副院士副研究员副总工，1-3级为教授院士研究员总工。

As a scarce job type, the wages and potential of technical personnel are much higher than those of ordinary workers.

The highest level of technical personnel, the salary is as high as 1 yuan.

As for the top level 8 general worker, the general salary is just over 126 yuan, and in certain areas the maximum is only yuan.

The initial level of technical personnel does not always start from level 18, it has a certain relationship with academic qualifications.

For example, very few college students can become level 14 assistant technicians directly after participating in the internship, and become level 13 technicians after the internship.

As a technical secondary school student, Jiang Chen was a grade 16 technician during his internship.

After the internship becomes a full-time job, he will become a level 15 assistant technician with a monthly salary of 42.5 yuan.

Before leaving Sichuan Steel Rolling Plant, I was promoted to level 14 technician, and my salary increased to 48.5 yuan.

Don’t underestimate this amount, it is enough for a family of five to live a good life.

It can be said that being a technician is an elegant job with potential.

With the support of the system, the future is even brighter.

As for her mother, although she was a little reluctant to give up, she had always supported Jiang Chen's decision and did not stand in the way too much.

In the half month before leaving, Jiang Chen had already made more detailed thoughts and rough plans for the future.

He wants to live a happy life in this era.

　Please collect and recommend, thank you all for your support!
